At that time Garcia and Rabbi were at
Bayamo. in the western part Of San
tiago province, and more than 100 miles
northwest of Santiago de Cuba. Adj
miral Simpsons dispatch showed that
Rabbi and his force have made a com
plete circuit OF Santiago de Cuba, and,
coming up to the south OF Il, have oc-
cupied Acerradcros. This Is looked
upon as fine military stroke, for Acer.
raderos is the port where iron wharves
will afford facilities for unloading the
heavy artillery carried by Gen. Shat
ter's invading expedition.
Secretary Alger denied positively
that the government was considering
the advisabllty Of making another call
for volunteer troops. On the contrary,
the war department is now entirely oc-
cupicd with the task Of completing the
equipment OF the large number OF or
CARNATIONS still without accoutre-
ments, and has not yet taken up in
earnest the procurmeRt of the $4,000
men called for in the second proclama-
tion Of the president. All that has been
done so far under that call Is 10 arrange
10 MI up the regiments secured under
the first call that are short according to
the present standard OF the service.
London, June l6.-Germany's atti-
tude at Manila is regarded as the most
interesting phase OF the war for the
moment. The Germans are credited
with n desire 10 find work for their
navy, and another success like that at

more warships. Therefore, despite Of
fetal regulations, the matter Is re-
gnrded with some anxiety. II is GER

England and perhaps OF Japnn.

Prospects of peace have had a curious
influence on business contracts, not quite
explainable on common sense grounds.
Nobody really feared disaster, or ex-
haustion of national resources, and no.
body feared that anybody else vas afraid
of either. Yet orders unusual in number
and size have been placed since Spain
asked for peace. In some industries the
gain has been large for about two weeks,
while in some textile manufactures it has
only begun to appear this week, but 1t
involves a considerable increase in the
working force. Crop prospects are on
the whole more encouraging, for the
Governments latest report as to corn is
much larger than the commercial esti-
mates, and its cotton return promises a
heavy yield, while allowance is made for
its habitual error in its wheat return.
Money markets show no sign of possible
disturbance, securities are stronger, and
there is no harmful speculation in stocks
or products. Rarely has the financial out
look been more nearly unclouded.

SATURDAY, AUGUST IS, 1898.
This paper is Democratic IN principles
and is Independent in its vieios on all local
questions.
An unsneakabIe Outrage.

Hinder the head of Helping the Needy,
the .'Evening Journal printed yester-
day. one of the most dastardly outrages
upon decency and right feeling that has
ever appeared in print. It devoted a col
umn to laying bare before the public gaze
the intimate miseries of women and chill
dren, whose breadwinners nave put on
the National uniform to fight for their
country.
There NAV be a morbid appetite in GER
tain sections of the public for this SORT
of reading: but assuredly the paper when
rratsies it should be classed with the
mink police denominations and other pam
derers to depravity. We hope and be-
lieve the generous sympathy of the ma
5ority of Jersey citizens inspired proper
feelings Of disgust and anger at this
beartless invasion of sacred condolences.
These war relief cases are not common
cases of charity. They are instances OF
extraordinary devotion to an ideal, dis
played by humble men and women, who
are yet most sensitive about the expo
sure of their sufferings and distresses to
the general knowledge of their ~neighbors.
There is certainly not a member OF the
committee who, in his work, has not had
impressed upon him the shrinking from
publicity of those whose circumstances
obliged them to seek relief.
The pretext of maintaining secrecy by
suppressing the names, and printing only
the circumstances, attributed to Mrs. A.
B. c. and so on, is, of course, a cheap
subterfuge. If the stories told are not
mere fakes-and perhaps they are; who
knows. since they are in the Journal
but. we say, if they are not fakes. they
are too Characteristic for the subjects Of
them to escape Identification by friends
and acquaintance and residents in their
vicinity.
We cannot say that we are surprised at
seeing this article in the Journal
There is no bottom to its capacity for
improperly But we are astonished at
the indiscretion of the officials of the
Committee, who gave the material for
the detestable publication.

Libels on Both Governor and Colonel

Started by an obscure sheet IN Camden
a statement has been going the rounds
of the anti-Voorhees Republican sheets
to the effect that the appointment OF
Colonel Robert Smith, with only eleven
| months experience as Colonel, to COM
mand the Fourth Regiment in place OF
Colonel Cooper of Camden, who has been
at the head of a regiment of militia for
twenty years, was the result of a bargain
between the Acting Governor and "Hud-
son County Ring" for support and as
~sistance in his fight for Governor next
fall.
The only feature of such a statement
| entitled to. notice is the reflection it casts
upon the military knowledge and ability
| of Colonel Smith. 1t may not be generally
| known, but it is nevertheless a fact, that
it was the aim of the Governor to obtain
for the regiments which New Jersey
raised the best commanding officers re-
| CARELESS of race, religion or previous term
of service. For hat reason he consulted
with the leading authorities on military
matters in the State and got the best in
| formation he could upon the merits of the
various candidates.
When he came to select a Colonel for
the Fourth Regiment, he pursued the
=. =
| same course. n the manner in which
those competent to judge of such mat
tiers. spoke of the fitness of Colonel
Smith for the position, convinced the
Governor that he was the right man for
the right place.
Moreover. Colonel Smith is a Democrat
of the uncompromising school, and what
| the Republican ring of Hudson could hope
to gain by bargaining to help one who
helps Colonel Smith is one of those things
a fellow can't find out.
In its wanderings through the Repub-
lean press, this bargain statement has
received an accumulation in the shape OF
a paragraph setting forth that the same
kim of a bargain was the cause of the
selection of another company from Jersey
City in the place of that called for from
Lambertville. The utter absurdity of this
appears, when it is remembered that it
was impossible to raise the mpa in
Lambertville, and that after several vain
calls upon the recruiting officer in that
town, at the very last moment, Jersey
City was called upon because it was
known that she could supply the required
number of men at once and the regiment
could be recruited to its full strength
within the prescribed time.

MUSEMENTS
English Opera at the American
Theatre.

Preparations are already under way for
the second season of opera in English at
The American Theatre. The ambitious
nature of next seasons repertoire. which
will range from the lightest Of comic
operas to the highest form of lyric drama
necessitates an Organization Of the high
est artistic calibre. With this end in view
ii is the intention to consolidate into the
organization the various Castle Square
Opera Companies which appeared success
fully last season il Philadelphia, Boston
and Brooklyn.
The nucleus of the organization which
will be heard only at the American Thea
tire will be composed Of the artists who
have already won distinction as members
of the force. Recent additions to the
company nave been Rose Leighton, Alice
Campbell, Wills, Knox and Grace Madeira.
Negotiations ARE in progress with several
other singers of not who will be intro
duced to the American Theatre patrons
curing the opening months Of the forth
coming season.
Edward P. Temple, the we'll known
stage director lately of the Francis VIII
son Opera Company, is a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the Castle Square forces.
In conjunction with Musical Director
Adolph Liesegang, who has been re-en-
gagged for next season, Mr.. Temple is de-
voting one day in each week to the work
of testing the vocal abilities of aspirants
for the vacant positions in the ranks of

Claim of Damage Caused
by the Storm.

Mayor Hoos, this morning made an in
spection of tina part of West Side ave
nue. which has been injured by the storm,
and particularly the serious claim of j..
Rede, a market gardener, at Oxford and
Lexington avenues, who rays that because
Of the badly drained section, he has lost
his wife and two sons from typhoid
fever, and he proposes to sue the city for
damages. In July, 1897, the city was Wis
tied by a severe rain storm, which
choked up the sewer basins on West Side
avenue, and Hooded Rede's lighthouses
and flower beds, indicting many thou
sands of dollars loss.
Because of the poorly constructed sew
ers and the fact that the streets, all
though laid out, were not properly i'm
proved, the water did not run off, but
formed huge pools which ~stagnated. It
was the malaria which arose from these
unhealthy places that caused the fever
which swept off Mrs. Red and her sons.
The Mayor will make a careful investi-
cation and take some steps to remedy the
nuisance and give relief to Rede.

ANOTHER BRIGHT VIEW.

TFrom Bradstreet's State of Trade."1
Changes in general trade and business
this week have been very generally to-
ward further Improvement. Notable in
his respect has been the iron and steel
trade, which has passed from the stage
of promise to that of fulhllment on in
creased demand and marked advances in
values. From all the leading iron centres
east and west come reports of more or
less Improvement in tone, demand or
prices, specially prominent in the latter
particular being steel billets, with an
advance of 81 per ton, steel rails with adj
vances ranging from Is cents to 81, and
sympathetic advances are likewise noted
in eastern pig iron, w~rought-iron pipe,
steel beams and other structural material
and steel plates. Further encouraging
features have been the accentuated de-
mand on foreign account for wheat and
corn, which is reflected in advances for
those cereals in spite of a rather more
favorable than expected government re-
port of possible yield. Popular estimates
tend to allow of an underestimate by the
government in wheat fully equal to that
Of last year, and point to a total crop
not less thar 700, coo, 600 bushels.

Evidences of increased business at the
east are beginning to appear. At Balti-
more fall shipments are active, and the
tone of business is better than for q long
time past. At Boston the gain in busi-
ness is a very moderate one, but liberal
orders have been placed for mems wear
goods, and the demand from clothiers in
dicates confidence in future business.
More is doing at Pittsburg, and iron and
steel are active and higher. Reduced pas
senger rates nave drawn large numbers
of buyers to New York. and confident ex-
pectations of resulting activity are ex-
pressed by d~ry-goods merchants Bust

The Unsettled Philippine Issue.

1t is greatly to be regretted that the
policy of the government in respect to
the Philippine Islands is left wholly un-
defined in the protocol, which is to form
the basis of the treaty of peace between
the United States and Spain. That we
have escaped any immediate diplomatic
difficulty, it is ridiculous to pretend.
What we have assuredly done is invited
all sorts of complications in the future,
including the interference of Germany or
any other power that may choose to put
In her oar.
1t is out of the question for us to al
low the islands to relapse into the statu
quo ante. It would be %treacherous and
cruel. Besides. if we are TO take and
hold an important station in the archi-
pelago, it is imperative hat peace should
be restored and some form of govern
ment insuring its continuance established
in the part which remains independent of
us. Our position. otherwise, would be
simply in~tolerable.
In the failure to see the inevitable o
sequences of leaving this vast issue with
out even a foundation for a settlement
being laid. it would appear hat Presi-
dent McKinley's administration has
shown itself as incompetent in dealing
with diplomatic negotiations as with mill
tary operations.

The War Department Versus shafser

The incompetency of the War Depart

abject Not to mention the
Roosevelt letter incident, the attempt to
throw all the blame upon General Shat
ter for the cruelty and laundering of the
Santiago campaign would make the repu-

~scoundrelism. But Secretary Alger is no
ordinary man. In s~elfshness, treachery
and chicane he has a record which goes
far back of the present c~onjuncture.
Fortunately the newspapers nave kept
the public too well supplied with informa-
ton for the Department to throw the
blame for its own imbecility upon an Off
Ger of merit and distinction. General
shafter performed little short Of a
miracle in taking Santiago as he did.
That he saved thousands of lives by his
course is so patent as to be hardly worth
arguing. The work of the climate in the
weeks since the surrender of General
Toral. Is the best, the final answer TO
the charge that he sacrificed life by his
bold and effective tactics.
In no other way than by unhesitating
advance and by inficting crushing blows
upon the enemy could General Shafter
have driven him to that despair which
Inspired his capitulation. That he did the
work with the loss Of only a few hum
bred lives is enough to make all the
