CLOUDS HEAVY OVER CARTER.
SENTENCE REPORTED TO BE EX-
TREMEL.Y SEVERE.

Dismissal From the Army, Imprison-
ment From Ten to Twenty Years
and Return of S3,O0OOOO to the
Government Alleged to BE the
Recommendation of the Court.
The Captains Friends Leaving No
stone Unturned to Save Him.
Washington, July ga sensational
story Is out to-day on the Carter case.
This is to the effect that while the pa
pers in the case are still in the hands of
Secretary Alger It has been learned from
an authoritative source that the court
has imposed one OF the severest sentences
ever declared In the case Of an army Of
acer, and that unless the sentence IS
mitigated Capt. Carter will have to pay
at least three penalties.
The first is unquestionably dismissal
from the army.
The second is Imprisonment for a term
of at least ten years, and perhaps twenty
years.
In addition to this Capt. Carter viii be
required to return to the government the
money embezzled, and this amounts. ac-
cording to the best information, TO nos
less than 100000
1t will be necessary, however, TO bring
an action In a civil court to secure the
refunding OF the money.
That In a nut shell is the story which
created good sized sensation at the war
department and among army officials gem
orally.
While It is undoubtedly true that the
case has gone against Capt. Carter. 1t IS
specifically denied that the recommends
ton of the board are as indicated above.
There seems no question. however, that
dismissal I'm disgrace will be the popular
officers portion unless the strong influ-
ences which have been at work ever since
the trial of the case in Savannah prevail
with the Secretary or the President HIM
self.
No man ever had stronger influence al
his back than Capt. Carter and so far
his friends have left no stone unturned In
his behalf.
For time 1t looked as If they had sue
ceeded IN getting an order TO have the
case reviewed by either the Attorney Gen.
eral or ex-Attorney General Wayne Nc
weigh, but those who had stuck TO Capt.
Carter found the showing made against
him was so strong that they could hope
TO do nothing The only chance of mlti-
gatlon lies with the President, but Capt.
Carriers friends have about abandoned
hope Of being able to do anything.
1t is regarded here as probable that the
announcement OF the result will be fol-
lowed by sensational civil suits against
those who have prohted by the transact
tions in which Capt. Carter was impli-
Gated.

SPANS INTENTIONS SECRET.
No News Given Out About Alleged
Peace Negotiations.

London, July PA special disptaeh from
Madrid says that such reticence regarding
the intentions of the government is OBJ
served that Senor Sagasta, the prime min
lister; Senior Gamazo, minister of public
instruction, and Duke Almodoyar de Rio,
minister of foreign affairs, have, ceased to
inform their colleagues of the progress of
negotiations, merely stating that there is
nothing further to report.
Merchants and others having Cuban in
terests, assert that their correspondents
write that all seem to prefer the anneXa-
ton of Cuba to the United States to in
dependence, fearing the vengeance of the
separatists If the Americans do not remain
to protect life and properly.
Senior Dupuy de Lone says the split be-
tween the Americans and the insurgents
offers the best opportunity for peace that
has occurred since the destruction of Ad-
miral Cervera's s feet.

Not crediting it, he was sent here to
verify the facts,
They viii be very glad to accept terms
of surrender; very short of rations and
shall have to begin feeding them a once.
He tells me there are 5000 men at that
place.

ALGER ANSWERS A CRITIC.
Management of COmmissary Depart
ment Defended.

Management of COmmissRry Depart
ment Defended.
Washington, July 23.-There have been
a good many criticisms of the conduct Of
the staff departments of the army during
this war and most of them have been bas-
cd on insufficient evidence.
Among these was one made by a very
prominent New York citizen, charging the
commissary department with gross dere-
liction.
This was brought to the attention of
Secretary Alger by his personal friend.
Gen. Dodge, and because of the promi-
nence of the critic, the secretary felt called
upon to make the following response:
My Dear Dodge The lieutenant col
onel, whoever he is, referred to in the ar
ticle of yesterday, which you sent me,
ing the hardships that our men endured
during the campaign, which resulted in
the fan of Santiago.
''I have no belief that he wrote in
complaining way, but simply as a state
ment of facts as they existed.
'He knew that there were ample rations
aboard the ships. He knew the impossi-
buifres of getting them to the command
more rapidly than they were gotten.
He knew the necessity of remaining in
line of battle and forcing the attack to as
early a termination as possible.
"He knew that everything was being
done that could be done, but this sympa-
thetic old gentleman who Is writing I'm a
way to spread dissatisfaction among our
people at home, and, in fact, to misrepre-
sent the lieutenant colonel that he
refers to and cast unjust reflection upon
the commissary general chan whom a bet
ter and more energetic and faithful man
never filed the office is unpatriotic, unjust
and knows nothing about army life in
war.
You and I know what this means 1t
has always occurred and always will. This
is war, and war would not be war with
out it.
What a shame that grumblers al home
are trying to do anything to eclipse the
glory of that magnificent victory, no mat
ter what hardships the soldiers endure.
The. GROWERS are always those who stay
at home. Sincerely yours,
"R. A. Alger.

far as the army at Chickamauga Park Is
concerned, occurred this afternoon when

at Battlefield station and was composed
of one private car for Gen. Brooke, two
Pullmans and one baggage car.
Gen. Brooke and his entire staff were
dressed in their new Kharki uniforms,
and they made most impressive display
as they entered the cars.
The excitement at the park was great
and every soldier who could get away
from his camp was at the depot TO see
them Off. When the train pulled out Of
the little station, about $50 O'clock a rous-
ing cheer went up that resounded through
out the entire camp and was echoed from
thousands OF throats. The general $
train reached the city about $3.50. having
been delayed at several points because OF
freight trains in the way
The generals train remained In the city
on account of delay In getting the bag
gage and other equipments from the park
to the city untl o'clock 'this evening,
when the start was made for Lexington,
on the Cincinnati Southern, and thence to
Newport News by the Chesapeake and

Congressman From Maine Not APP
prehensive OF Intervention.
Washington, July 3.-Representative
Dingley of Maine, who has been In the
city as one of the members Of the Canad-
lan-American commission, when asked to-
day: "What do you think will be the
solving Of the Philippine problem?" re-
piled: mo one can tell at this time.
Events adjust themselves and sometimes
in a sudden and unexpected manner rhe
situation will be undoubtedly taken care
OF as 1t arises, and l would not like to
venture an opinion in advance on what
will be done.
II feel sure, however, that there is no
foundation for the talk OF alleged E,u
ropean interference In whatever pro-
gramme this government may adopt for
the Philippines. | believe the rumored
protests Of the Powers OF Europe will be
found TO be merely unauthorized reports,
and viii not materlalize into anything
definite. The conduct of the Germans at
Manila Is subject 10 criticism, but their
action, ! believe, will not 80 beyond
bounds.
Il do not pay any attention to the al
Ieged attitude of Europe protesting against
the sending of Commodore Watson's fleet
to the coast Of Spain. Such position
would be untenable. This government Is
at war with Spain, and we have right TO
strike her when and where we please.
It remains for US alone to say whether we
will send a fleet to SPAN.
"Of course, 81 we contemplated seizing
and holding Spanish territory on the con-
tlnent Of Europe, 1t might cause Dispute
tude among the Powers for fear that the
balance of power might be disturbed. They
would have no right, however. to protest
against the harassng of the Spanish
coast and commerce by fleet"
