was created by the TilIman move.
ment in order to give a job to one
of the faithful. Now that the
phosphate royalty pays the State
very little, there is no earthly
reason why this Office should not
be abolished--but the legislature
refuses. Reform promised to
lower taxes and reduce the mum.

Beyond all doubt the monetary
questioa is to be the issue in the
next national campaign. Addresses
were issued on the 18th bv the
chairmen of the Democratic, PO-
puliSt and free silver Republican
national committees urging fusion
on silver. In each address the
advocates of free silver are urged
to wipe out party lines and make
Il strong fight for the white metal.
The campaign is some distance of.
b't now is a good time for free
silver Democrats to resolve TO
make a straight fight and make
"entangling alliances" with none.
Weare eternally opposed to fusion.
The Democratic party should set
its stuudard, make its platform to
the best interests of the people,
nominate men loyal and worthy
and by its merit command the
support of ull patriotic men. The
Democratic party INJURIES itself
when it goes whoriug after
strange gods.

ABRUsH ON SHORE.


KEY WEST, May 13.-Transport
steamer Gussie, which left here with q
big expedition for Cuba, Wednesday
night, had lively engagement with
the Spanish at Cabanas, Pinar del Rio,
yesterday, but succeeded in accom-
plishing her mission.
The Gussie carried 1000 u(|0o and q
large quantity of ammunition intended
for Cubsns. The expedition was
directed by Captain G.. H Dorst, United
States Cavalry, who took over 100 men
of the First Infantry, and tan Cuban
scouts The Gussie was met off the
Cuban coast by the auxiliary gun boats
Wasp and Manning, which escorted her
in. AS they approached the shore, the
the Spanish soldiers opened fire. The
gun boats replied with effect, enabling
the expedition to land.
Ga the shore the battle was renewed.
The Spanish troops retired to their
werks and the woods, and directed a
constant but inaccurate fire upon the
landing party, which later was rein
forced BY body of armed insurgents.
Then, under fire of the gun boats, the
Spanish force was compelled to with
draw. One of the American party was
shot in the back. The Spanish loss Is

GRATEFUL FOR KlNDNESSES
THEIR METHOD OF THANKING
 UNCLE SAM.
Prisoners Captured on Prize Steam CTS Salute Old Glory as They Are About to Start for
 Spain.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, July 24.-Prisoners of war cheering the flag of their captors was the unusual sight witnessed at the Union dock in Brooklyn to-day The sight was all the more significant as the cheers came from Spanish throats
 The 254 prisoners captured on the four prize steamers now In port were about to sail for home under the Brit ish flag. They were on board the Hes peria, of the Anchor line, and just as she backed out of the dock one of the patrol gunboats. came by. With one accord the prisoners raised three mighty cheers which startled the peo- pie on the Brooklyn shore and could be heard on Governors Island. It was the best they could do In thanking Uncle Sam for the kindness lavished on them while they were prisoners.
 The Hesperia left at D. m., bound for Italian ports. She will put the prisoners on shore at Gibraltar The prisoners were a happy lot and their appearance showed that they had been well treated while in enforced idleness.
 Among the 254 prisoners were six of ficers. They have saloon accommoda- tions, while the others are in the steer age. One of the Spanish officers said:
 If our men in the field realized the hopelessness of our cause, or the treat ment they would get at the hands of the Americans they would not fight long. The quickest and easiest way to reach home is to surrender. I believe In fighting where there is a chance, but our soldiers don't know we have not 8 chance. They can get home quicker by surrendering, and in the meantime be well fed and taken care of. But they think the Americans will murder them"
 The Austrian Consul paid $17 head for the passage of each of the pris- oners.

 PRISONERS COMING IN
Starving and Sick They Are Delight ed With the Prospect of Return

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July N.-Colonel Angel Rosill arrived here yesterday from General Pareja, Military Governor of Guantanamo, to ascertain from General Toral If the report of the equalization were true. AS the result of Torals an- swer. the coco Spanish troops at Guanta- namo will tomorrow (Monday) surrender and lay down their arms.
 This afternoon Lieutenant Miley of General Shafter's staff returned from Palama, Sorania and San Luis, where he received the surrender and arms of 3465 men, of which 3005 are Spanish soldiers to be deported. At first they refused to credit the statement that Santiago had surrendered, but the presence of a Spanish ofhcer who accompanied Lieutenant Miley finally convinced them and then they dis played great delight at the prospect of returning to Spain.
 All the surrendered troops are suffering from disease and starvation and General Shafter has instructed the immediate forwarding of rations. He has informed the Spanish officers that their families will be given transportation to Spain with food at the expense of the Government and that the maintenance of the men is provided for by contract.

SKATER REPLIES TO
 GARCIA'S COMPLAINT
Dissensions in the Red Cross Society Leading to Dr. Guiteras'
 lSeSipnation
Special Dispatch to The Call


 SANTIAGO, Cuba, July 23 (by Call Herald dispatch boat Golden Rod to Kingston, Jamaica, July 2D.-General Shafter has told General Garcia that the reason why the Cubans were not invited to participate in the ceremonies of surrender was that he thought 1t would not be good policy. His action, he stated, was not due to any lack of regard of his Cuban allies
 The Cubans intend to attack Holguin and then Manzanillo.
 Dissensions have arisen among the representatives of the Red Cross So- ciety here. Dr. I.Citeras, the yellow fever expert, has resigned and re- turned to the United States because of unfavorable comments on his work. More humble members of the Red Cross say that others who are more prominent are using the society for their own advancement.
 Ii is denied that there are thirty cases of yellow fever in the cavalry division The health of the city Is generally good, although there are many cases of ma laria and dysentery.
 Dr. Caimanero inspected the trans ports Leona, Concho and Orizaba and found three cases of yellow fever on the one last named.
