PRINCE OF WALES BAD KNEE
Injury Will Interfere Somewhat with
the Royal Patients Enjoy
ment Hereafter

Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON. July 3O.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram. 1.-The prince OF
Wales was removed from London on the
royal yacht Osborne to Cowes only by the
sanction, with much reluctance. OF the
physicians as being the lesser Of two evils.
Since the season ended and all his cronies
have gone from town the prince has grown
extremely FESTIVE under enforced %confne-
ment. His doctors, therefore, decided to
take the risk of the journey retarding his
recovery rather than the practical certainty
that he would worry himself into illness if
forced to stay in town. The truth is that
during the first four days apprehension was
felt by the physicians that tetanus might
supervene. On Wednesday premonitory
symptoms appeared and four consultations
of his doctors were held that day, though
only two were announced. The fear of
%tetanus, coupled with the equity condition of
the princes knee joint, was the real reason
why no operation was performed to bring
the fractured parts of the patella together.
The doctors assured him yesterday that IL
the progress already made is continued and
he does not insist on using his leg too soon,
there is every prospect that no lameness will
be observable while walking. He will al
ways have difficulty in going UP and down
stairs and can scarcely hope to take horse
exercise any more, while dancing will be
impossible for him. This latter deprivation
he feels acutely, as he is an enthusiastic
dancer, and on the night before the accident
a dance was gotten up among a party at
Waddesdon at his suggestion, at which he
showed more vigor than the lounges men
present. He is holding his doctors to their
original oversanguine statement that he
would be able to get about in two months
and on that ground he has refused to cancel
his engagement to attend the Austrian en-
peror's jubilee at Vienna In November. He
says his doctors must patch him up some
how for that function. Their lot is not al
together a happy one, as the prince is prov
ing a f1dgety and e~xacting patient.

VICTORIA Is ALSO INTERESTED
Queen is Much Concerned Over the
Retention of the AIfonsist
Dynasty.

Copyright, 1898, by Press Publishing Coz
LONDON, July 30.-(New York World Ca
blegram-Special Telegram. Queen Vic
toria is displaying the deepest interest in
the progress of peace negotiations between
the United States and Spain. She COM
manded Count Albert Neusdorf, charge
daffairs of the Austrian embassy in the
absence Of the ambassador, to visit her at
osborne yesterday to learn the latest views
from Vienna respecting the prospects of
peace. The queens main anxiety is for the
preservation of the Alfonsist dynasty, both
on monarchical grounds and because she
holds the regent in especial personal esteem.
The statement that peace negotiations will
be transferred to London finds no confrma-
ton at the American embassy, while | can
state on the authority Of a leading diplo-
matist recently at the Spanish ministry in
Washington that he has heard nothing to
indicate that a peace treaty will be negotia-
ted here. The view universally prevalent
here in political and diplomatic circles is
that the disposal Of the Philippines is the
real crux of the situation, constituting an
obstacle very difficult to surmount. The ex-
pectation is that Washington diplomacy will
find some method Of leaving the Philippines
question open for future decision and that
peace will be concluded irrespective Of 1T.
The hope is strongly expressed in the Par
liamentary lobby that the United States will
at any rate take adequate precautions TO
prevent any other power from getting a foot
hold in the Philippines should the American
cabinet decide against their retention tenn
porarily or otherwise. and they are returned
to Spain under guarantees for their reformed
government.

Residents of Santiago Ask Pay for

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 29.-(Delayed
in Transmission "A feature of the situation
here is the constant stream of native resi-
dents who are presenting claims to the
authorities against the United States gov
of Cuban troops, damage to property, rob-
berry and plumber, during the last three
years. These claims are promptly turned
away with an expression of regret. The
daily passes issued through the lines exceed
SOC. Today it was discovered that they are
being used to take rum and tobacco to the
Spanish, with whom a good traffic is kept
up. Future bearers Of passes will be
searched.
Among the passengers on the Ward line
steamer Philadelphia, on its return trip to
New York, will be Don Aldoon, the new
collector of the port at Santiago. The full
cabin capacity has been engaged. 1t will
probably take a full cargo of iron ore, the
first since the war broke out. All foreign
orders for goods have been countermanded.
There was a distinct feeling here for con-
tinuation of the occupation, and the definite
establishment of an American protectorate.
Local merchants. Spanish, foreign and ma
tive, are drawing up a petition requesting
the establishment of a bonded warehouse at
Santiago, in case they desire to reship goods

pie for a reconciliation.
This desire was granted in 1895. The en-
peror sent n present of wine to Friedrichs-
ruhe and an autograph letter congratulate
ing the prince on his recovery from an at
tack of influenza. Prince Bismarck ut once
responded to this gracious advance by going
to Berlin and paying his first visit to the
emperor since he had left office. The en-
peror afterward returned the visit at Fried
richsruhe.
Two attempts were made on Prince Bis
marck's life, the first by a man named
Blind, on May Z. 1885,, at Berlin, and on
July 16, 1874, by Kullman, at Kissengen.
A Bismarck museum. containing all sorts
of objects relative to the chancellor's career,

the War Department.
WASHINGTON, July O.-The War de-
partment has received the following:
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 29.-Hon. r.
A. Alger, secretary of War, Washington:
Have the Sun of Saturday, July 23, in which
are made as to my treatment Of
General Garcia. l desire to say that Cen
eral Garcia was invited by me personally
10 go into the city of Santiago at the time
| entered 1t, but he declined upon the
ground that the Spanish civil officers were
left in power. 1t was fully explained to him
that those officials were continued in power
until 1t was convenient to change them for
others. General Garcia's assistance to me
has been purely voluntary on his part and
he was told at the beginning that | did
not nave any control over him except such
as he chose to give, The trouble with Cen
erai Garcia was that he expected to be
placed In command at this place, in other
words that we would turn the city over to
him. | explained to him fully that we
were at war with Spain and that the cues
ton OF independence could not be con-
sldered by me. Another grievance was that
nnding that several thousand men marched
In without opposition from Garcia. | ex-
tended our lines in front of him and
closed up the gap, as | saw that | had to
depend on my W men for effective in
vestment of the place. SHAFTER.
The differences between General Shafter
and General Garcia are not regarded by the
war officials as serious and little doubt is
expressed that they will be amicably adj
justed.
The dispatch Is in entire accord with in
formation previously received by the War
department concerning the incident to which
General Shafter refers. 1t is evident from
General Skaters dispatch and from other
in the hands of the war Off
Gals that some OF the statements in Gen
eral Garcia's letter to General Shafter were
incorrect. 1t was the understanding of the
officials OF the War department that General
Garcia had been invited to be present at
the formalities attending the surrender of
Santiago and this understanding is cor
roborated by the statements in General
Skaters dispatch. General Shafter was
given an lntimation that 1t might be wise
to make a statement OF his relations with
Garcia which could be given TO the public
in order that any misapprehension concern
ing those relations which might exist should
be corrected.
In response to this intimatlon General
Shafter sent the dispatch above quoted to

NO MORE PREPARING TO LEAVE
Illinois Regiment About
from Hts Disappointment
Over It's Recall.

2 CHlCKAMAUGA PARK, July 3O.-The
movements OF troops from Camp Thomas is
temporarily suspended and all the
nave settled down to, work as though they
were here permanently. The Sixth Ten
nessee infantry, which has been in camp
at Knoxville since organization. arrived at
Camp Thomas today. The Fourth Tennessee
infantry, which is now in camp at Knox
vile, is expected to come to Camp Thomas
during the next few days. The Fifth
Illinois is settling down TO business. The
boys have about gotten over their bitter
disappointment at not being allowed to go
TO the front at this time and nearly every
man mas returned to the regiment for duty.
AS soon as the rumors circulated to the
eject that Culver was responsible for their
recall were shown to be false, the boys were
generally, satisfied. This morning at roll
call. il was stated that all but a few of the
men answered and they would probably show
up during the next twenty-four hours. The
regiment now occupies new camp ground and
all the tents have been set, so that by
Monday everything will be working as
smoothly as though nothing had happened.
The First Pennsylvania is now in a state
OF expectancy as to when the colouelcy will
be hlled, 1t being known that Colonel Brown
VIII not be physically able to return to the
command. The boys OF the regiment with
out exception are anxious that Lieutenant
Colonel Goode shall receive the appointment,
and 1t is quite manifest that they will not
be satisfied With any other arrangement.
Colonel Goode has made such an efficient
oficer and has grown in such favor with the
officers and men that they would be quite
reluctant to see any one else succeed to the
command.
Lieutenant Harland, the regimental
surgeon of the First Pennsylvaia, thinks It
would be advisable to move to a new loca-
tion in the park and there is a growing
sentiment in favor Of the movement. The
First Pennsylvania has imposed a rather
heavy sentence on one Of it's men for sleep
ing while on picket duty, For this offense,
Private William G.. Ledlie, will serve six
months in prison, forfeit all pay during i'm
prisonment and then be dishonorably dis
charged.

HONG KONG, July 3O.-Letters received
from Cavite, under date of July 26, state
hat the insurgents have done nothing since
their second repulse at Malate, when the
American troops were held under arms
through fear OF an attack by the Spaniards.
There are now 1880 American soldiers
within an hour of Manila, near Malate.
Their camp is protected by trenches and
guns, and is covered by the guns of the
cruiser Boston and the Callao from the
sea.
The American transports will start on
their return to San Francisco in a few
days. There is no sickness among the
troops.
1t is believed that Governor General
August VIII surrender, owing to the fact
that Admiral Camara's squadron has re-
turned TO Spain. but the army officers de-
sire 20 resist to the last, and there is a
prospect that peace will be concluded prior
TO the capture Of Manila by the Americans.
About a dozen small Spanish steamers have
passed out recently under the insurgent
flag, ostensibly to go to General Aguinaldo.
but The suspicious of the Americans are
now aroused, and no more OF these crafts

ABANDONING THE CAMP A MIAMI.
Conditions of the Troops at Tha
Point Not satisfactory

oh"t "
WASHINGTON, July 30.-For ten days
the officials of the War department have had
under consideration a proposition to abandon
the amp at Miami, Fla, on account of
necessarily inadequate facilities. it being
deemed desirable to move the troops to
some other point. By direction of the sec
rotary of war orders have been issued that
Miami shall be abandoned as one of the
permanent camps of the United States and
directing that troops there shall be trans
ferred Immediately to Jacksonville.
There are now at Miami about 800 volun-
teers, the division comprising the First and
Second Texas, the First and Second Ala
bama and the First and Second Louisiana.
While there is much sickness among the
troops at Miami, the reports do not indi-
cate a particularly serious condition of af-
fairs, Exaggerated accounts OF the condi-
tons have been published, but the war
authorities say they take very little stock
in them. They know from the official re-
ports that the health conditions in the camp
are not what they ought to be, but they
give assurances that some of the stories
which have gained circulation about the
awful conditions existing there are not
warranted by facts. The illness among the
men at Miami is malaria. Every possible
attention is being given those VINO are con-

Going the rounds OF tho press Is an

tiser in America. OF course the busi-
ness itself must be nh enormous one to

merit. But, given an article OF the high
est quality like Royal Baking Powder,
which when the housekeeper has once
nsed she finds, IL she desires the best

greatest measure OF success is attained
by keeping il continuously before the

the result is apparent throughout the
land. The Royal company believe that
there is no medium for advertising Ii ke
