Of the French republic. that country yet will
be the theater OF great upheaval.
ut would be foolish for Spain to enter
into any agreement with Germany regard
ing her eastern possessions. The Germans
would readily interfere but II would be to
enhance their own greedy interests and not
in any way to aid Spain. Their interests In
Manila are counter to ours. We have con-
hdence in none but God; expect help only
from Providence"

Queen Regent in La Petite Revue of Paris,

pressed by him In that Article were In ac-
cordance with others which would follow.

observations concerning the Queen Regent

have only the highest esteem for her, but
did not, because 1t would have lessened the
force OF what had to say.
There will be no early suit for peace on
the part of Spain. Notwithstanding her
misfortunes. The people are heart and
soul in the war. Havana and the principal
cities of Cuba still remain In our possession.
Manila has not been taken from US, and the
people believe in the military ability of
Spain's generals.
There is only one outcome to this an
ticipated from the war-the crushing, hu-
defeat Of Spain. But it must
come. as did the death of Canovas. When
all else has gone, death will wipe away dis
grace"

PLENTY OF TIME
Won't Try to Hold Havana for While
Porto Rico First Then Manila

NEW YORK, July 13.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The actual departure of Commodore Wat
sons raiding squadron for the coast CT
Spain, which the naval authorities expect
will occur about the end of the present
week, indicates sufficiently the complete
abandonment Of any intention to besiege
Havana in the next three or four months,
and confirms the impression that no ex-
tended military operations will be prose-
cuted In Cuba after the equalization of San
tiago.
The remarkable difficulties which have
attended the investment OF Santiago, and
the resulting tedious delays have served to
convince the military and naval authorities
that Havana cannot be attacked success
fully with less than 100000 menS and the
entire naval force in the Atlantic. The city,
ordinarily one of the best fortified ports in
the world, has been made more impregna-
BILE in the last two months through the
ceaseless activity of General Blanco, who
has surrounded it with several chains of
Notifications. in addition to the new bat
teries he has mounted along the coast.
Without the strong vessels attached to the
raiding squadron. the navy would be pow
erless to render effective assistance to the
army against Havana, and it is deemed i'm
possible that land forces alone could Sc
cure the surrender of the city with less than
several months campaign.
Promptly upon the fall of Santiago, 1t is
announced, the expedition to Porto Rico is
to be undertaken, with General Miles in
command of the three divisions. aggregat-
ing more than 80 900 men. He will have the
cooperation of Admiral SIMPSONS heavier
ships in the assault on San Juan 1t is his
intention to clear the entire island of Span
ish troops with every energy at his COM
mand. His force will include practically
all the regular and volunteer troops now at
Santiago, the Cubans and immunes being
left to hold that province
In addition to the fleet of forty-eight
transports already secured to carry troops
to Porto Rico, including the thirty that
formed General Skaters main expedition,
the navy has consented to the temporary
use of the auxiliary cruisers, the st. Paul,
the st. Louis, the Yale and the Harvard,
to carry the regiments, and a number Of
other vessels will be available for the serv-
ice next week..
The medical corps Of the army expects
yellow fever to appear among the troops at
Santiago at any time. The light fevers
which are now invading many of the men
may at any time assume malignant types
For this reason. urgent recommendations
have been made that the troops be taken
out of the country as soon as possible.
The surgeons declare that the horrors of a
long-continued siege will be incalculable,
and in their emphatic opinion it will be
found better to lose hundreds of men in an
aggressive assault than to expose the en-
tire army and this country as we'll to de-
vastating epidemic of yellow fever.

HANGED TO A TREE
TRAGIC DEATH OF A YOUNG
ENoLISHHAN
His Plans Were Carefully Considered.
Was a Part Owner in the Mont
serrat Ranch Near Pala

SAN DIEGO, July TT. J. Walker, q
young Englishman "a years Of age. hanged
himself yesterday near Pala. For the past
three years Walker has been member of
the company of Englishmen who own the
Montserrat ranch near Pala in this county,
and q part of his duties was to herd the
cattle. Yesterday morning he left the ranch
as usual and when he failed to return at his
usual time alarm was felt for his safety. A
party was organized to hunt for the missing
man, and at almost dark they came upon
the lifeess form of Walker hanging from
a sycamore tree about three miles from the
homestead. Walker had evidently made
full preparations for his sad death. He had
first tied one end Of his lariat around the
horn of his saddle and the other had been
thrown over a high limb Of the tree The
horse had been brought into position, and
mounting It, Walker tied the moose around
his own neck. As he swung on his horse
his feet barely touched the ground, but
there was sufficient strain on the lariat to
cause his death by strangulation.
The causes that led to the sad ending of
this young man are mystery to his many
friends, and nothing has been found that
can suggest a reason. Walker came from
a most Respectable anu wealthy IHslisH
family, and received ample remittances to
keep him in comfortable circumstances.
Only few days ago he received his regular
allowance. He was of an exceptionally jo-
vial disposition, enjoyed the best of health
and was on the best of terms with all his
The facts make 1t difficult
for Walkers friends to realize the tragic
ending of their young friend and companion.
The dead body of G. NJ. Mace, an old
resident of this city, was found this morn
ing on the college campus, and had evidently
been lying there for the past three days.
Deceased was II years of age and there
were no external evidences as to the cause
of his death. An inquest will be held to-
morrow.

KNOW NO FEAR
Work Of the Blockading Fleet OF
Havana

NEW YORK, July p3.-In the following
letter to George Newton of Newark, N. j..
j. A. Marley. formerly of Bloomfield, N,
j., but now a marine on the auxiliary
cruiser Badger stationed off Havana, gives
an interesting account of the sinking of
Spanish blockade runner on the night of
the Fourth of July.
Last Moday night" writes Manley, "our
lookout saw a stranger, and we chased her
for awhile, then gave up, as our officers
thought she was one of the blockade fleet
trying to fool US. The converted yacht
Hawk took a hand later on and she chased
her. Then the gunboat Castine took
hand in the game. 1t seems that they tried
hard to make her come to. but her pilot
knew his business and got along the coast
and near Mariel
Daylight appeared and we were sig
nailed to come alongside the vessel. When
we reached her we found she was large
four-masted steamer. and rather than be
caught, she ran up high and dry on the
beach. The Castine had cornered her.
self between a Spanish gunboat and the
forts of Mariel. The Prairie tackled both
and by maneuvering nicely the Castine got
out. She then blazed away at the blockade
runner. Very soon the latter was a mass
of fire and burned all day long.
There were several explosions on her.
and our officers feel confident that she was
loaded with ammunition.
THE Amphitrite got here yesterday and
most probably will try to do away with
something before long.
Two Spanish gunboats are lodging In
and out Of Mariel under protection and II
they ever over-step the bounds they will
see their finish. The little Hawk is a very
devil. She scouts along like a flying ma
chine and goes right In close, daring them
to waste their ammunition. They evidently
have none to waste. as they do not take any
notice of her. We lay about eight miles
from MORO Castle during the day. and
about four or five at night.
I'VE have no light at all and cannot be
seen. We got in little too close last
night and searchlight from MORO drop
ped right on US. OF course we suddenly
disappeared.
THE boys have great sport during lei
sure hours catching sharks. Several small
onesshave been captured. and the officers
make great run for the best souvenirs
out Of them"

SIBoNEY IN ASHES
Was Burned by Request Of the Medical
Corps Of the Army

OFF JURAGUA CITY, July u, via
Kingston, Jamaica, July Is. S:45 q. m.-The
miserable little town of Juragua City
(Siboney), lies In ashes tonight. It was
burned under the orders of the army health
authorities. Almost every building of the
fifty, which struggled among the irregu-
Lar bluffs, was set fire to during the day
and the Cuban Inhabitants have fed to the
caves in the overhanging hillside for shell
ter. This action was taken at the urgent
request Of Major Legaro, Of the Hospital
Corps. and served the joint purpose of
Kidding the camp of the dirt and pestilence
and driving away scores of Cuban follow
ers, whose presence was a serious incon-
venience to the hospital workers. The
burning of the houses also extended along
the trail to the front, and numerous block
houses were destroyed, together with the
dwellings.
The action was decided upon last night
and carly this morning the long wooden
building at the extreme end of the TRAIL
the one which had served as division head
quarters in the early days of the landing
and later as a postoffice was set on fire.
This building was one Of the most imposing
in the city. with its long, broad verandas

the roof the Cuban dwellers in the neigh
boring houses began to rush for safety
They were assisted by a detachment Of
soldiers in removing their effects and the
buildings were set fire to as rapidly as
vacated The others. wooden structures,
ordinarily would have burned like finder,
but the heavy rains made the flames slow
in spreading. The burning houses filled
the camp with sitting black smoke, which
was visible for miles.
In spite Of the protests Of the ragged
Cubans, the work of destruction proceeded
steadily all day. The building in which
field telegraph and telephone offices were
located shared the common fate.
The work was not completed until after
dark, when the torch was applied to TIE
last building of the town. The debris
will be cleared away as rapidly as possible
and many more hospital tents will be
pitched on new sites.
