The forces that attacked them
Saturday, regular troops and guer-
illas, were repulsed, as was cabled
yesterday, after thirteen hours of
desperate work at close quarters.
They fled into the brush, but
remained away only few hours.
At 8 o'clock last night they
dashed in again on the camp,
which scarcely had warning of
their coming before a vicious COM
bat was on at close quarters.
So near did the Spaniards APP
proach in their wild rush that the
officers of marines and the men in
the front ranks found their revol-
vers more useful than rifles and
their swords of great service.
Lieutenant Colonel Huntington
placed his men 80 as to protect
every part of the camp. The six
companies formed in hollow
square. The enemy rushed in
from all four sides of the camp.
The bodies of James McColgan of
Stonehan, Mass, and William
Dunphy of Gloucester, Mass. two
of the marines who were killed
while they were on scouting duty,
were found after he engagement.
The bodies had been frightfully
nutilated by machetes. The faces
were scarcely recognizable.

BOTH SIDES sUPERBLY BRAVE.
Comment of the London Times on
the Fighting.

Nne FlSnUnRs
London, July 4.-The Times, this morn
ing, discussing the fighting at FL Caney
says:
Both sides have shown courage of a
very high order and it is hard to say
whether the splendid dash and bravery
of the American advance in the teeth of
a CALLING fire, or the stubborn tenacity of
the Spanish defense is the more admirable.
Both sides have learned to appreciate
the splendid military qualities of their adj
versaries.
1T is a pity that enemies who show
themselves such worthy foemen in the
field cannot see their way to save blood
shed by coming Immediately to an ar
rangement on the inevitable basis.
1.-THE Spaniards have amply indicated
their honor, and if they were wise. they
would now prove their common sense by
offering terms to their opponents terms
which, if they were reasonable, would al
most certainly be discussed in a generous
spirit"
The editorials in the Daily Graphic and
Times fairly represent the oplnions.of the
London newspapers. There is no word of
blame but rather unstinting admiration
for Gen. Skaters bravery; yet all remark
that America finds Santiago a tougher task
than she ANTICIPATED. Spain, it is suggest
ed, might now sue for peace on honorable
terms, but it is not thought she is likely
to do so.
The Standard says: ION the whole while
we cannot express too highly our family
pride i'm the gallant bearing of the Ameri-
can troops, it appears to us that the pros e
pect before the United States is one SUI
iiciently ominous to make this moment
when a wise approach on the part of Spain
toward peace on reasonable terms ought to
be received with much alacrity by Presi-
dent Mckinley. Why wait till suffering
has hardened the hearts of the Americans
and strengthened the nations resolve"
The Daily Graphic, In Its editorial, OBJ
serves: The signal gallantry and devo-
ton displayed by both Spaniards and Amer
leans must be recognized. The behavior of
the Americans sends a thrill of pride
throughout the Anglo-Saxon world. The
story of the splendid manner IN which the
Rough Riders carried San Juan is instinct
with the indomitable spirit of Balaklava.
The Daily Graphic says, however, that
the blunder lies deeper than any mere
temporary miscalculation," adding that
1.-THE Americans cast their net too widely.
as it might have been better to have left
Santiago and Manila alone and to have
concentrated their efforts upon Havana"

THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Vote on Hawaiian Resolution May
Be Reached in Senate

Be Reached in Senate.
Washington July 3.-The Senate will
bq in session on the Fourth Of July as
usual. This was deemed necessary by the
friends Of the Hawaiian annexation reso-
luton.
1t is probable that the week will be
consumed in the consideration Of the reso-
luton, unless a vote is reached in the
middle of the week, which some senators
hope for.
No other business will be considered that
leads to an extended debate until there is
a vote on the Hawaiian resolutions.
OF course any war legislation which
might be considered necessary would be
considered, but there is no expectation of
any emergency demands.
The House VIII not be in session to-
morrow, adjournment having been taken
until Tuesday. There is no definite pro-
gramme for the week.
The conference report upon the def
cheney bill will be considered Tuesday, and
1t may provoke considerable debate.
The naval affairs committee has a num-
Der of bills which it desires to bring uD
and a day may be given to It. The naval
personnel measure is the most important
If 1t can be reached under the call of
the committees an effort will be made to
take up the anH-scalping bill.
The bill 10 incorporate the Interna tional
American Bank will follow the deficiency
bill conference report and continue before
the House until disposed of.

The American attack upon FL Caney was
very severe. The position was defended by

GERMAN PAPERS CHURLIsH.
Tone of National Gazette mad Kreuz
Zeitung still Ugly.

ZeitunE StiII Ugly.
London, July 4.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Times says: German public
opinion and the German press which are
not always identical, are now thoroughly
awakened to the inconvenience of the po-
sition in which the German policy has
been placed by unfortunate articles on the
subject of the Philippines The papers
are now trying 10 explain the matter
away.
The Cologne Gazette entirely evades
the point when, in a long article on The
Nervousness of the United States it tries
to show that the real grievance of the
Americans in the lack of sympathy dis
played in Germany for the American
cause.
Both the Cologne Gazette and the Ma
tional Gazette publish long articles, ex-
planning that it is not surprising that the
German papers criticized America at the
beginning of the war, but that this course
was necessitated neither by the dictates
of national honor, nor of anxiety as TO the
future of the Philippines.
The National Gazette considers 1t ludb-
crous to discuss a partition of a bears
skin before the bear is killed We Euro
pSdHs' II says, from our own surroWful
experience, know what surprises a con-
clusion of a peace and peace congresses
are wont to have in store
In all human probability the Span
iards will lose their colony but the Amer
leans will not be the only gamers in the
struggle. In Cuba, as in the PHILIPPINES
they will have to reckon with the insur-
gents now. The abandonment of the Phil
tppines to the natives would undoubtedly
lead to the Intervention of Europe.
With all their dislike of American
complications, European states will allow
no trifiing with their interests. No one
menaces the American Union. Diplomacy
has even been excessively polite TO the
Yankees out of consideration for their
sens tiveness, but 1t has been assumed that
they viii respect the rights of others

Middle of the Road Pops.

ST. LOUIS, January 12.-The nation
al committee of the peoples party is in
session today at the Laclede hotel for
the purpose of preparing call for the
national convention which is to be held
in April. In addition to the national
committee there are present special
represen tatives from the state central
committees of a number of states. Those
participating in the conference today
are exclusively middle-of-the road pop
ulists and include General Coxey, of
Ohio; Milton Parkes, of Texas; w. S
LNrgan, of Arkansas; A. Steinberger,
of Kansas. and number of others.
This wing of the party has been trying
to force Chairman Butler, of the na-
tional com mittee of the regular peO-
ple's party, to issue call for a national
convention to promulgate in advance
the platform on which the populists ex-
pect to elect many mem bers Of congress
in the next four ye ars, and also to elect
a presid dent in 1900. Chairman Butler,
however, does not believe there is ary
necessity for SO early a convention and
be has persistently refused to issue a
call. Hence the middle-of-the-road
element is determined to go l.
alone.
