Ponce, Aug. 2. via ST. Thomas, Aug.

FRICTION BETWEEN

Boston, Aug. A cablegnm to The
Journal from Ponce says:
A tremendous sensation has occurred
in the Sixth Massachusetts regiment,
General Garrettson's bridago. The
friction between line officers OF the reg.
iment and officers Of the brigade, which
has been growing since the brigade loft
Cuba, reached climax on Monday,
when Colonel Woodward, Lieutenant
Colonel Chafin, Major Taylor, Chap.

The matter has been fully reported to

Spanisl-America.

Every true American heart
should throb with sympathy at this
time for Mexico at the mention Of
the days September 10Th and 10th,
which are the same TO Mexicans as
July 4th is TO Americans. These
are Mexico's two greatest holidays.
President Diaz was born on sep
TENDER 18th at II o'clock at night
and one hour later september
18th was the birthday Of indie
pendent Mexico. II is no wonder
therefore that the Mexicans love
these two holidays, which represent
so much to them. On the night Of
September 10Th at exactly ] I o'clock
from every city, town, hill and dale
over the great Republic, one mighty
shout issues from million free
mems throats, "Viya Mexico
Viva ell Prcsidente"
In Mexico the day is celebrated
with great splendor Nearly a.
quarter Of a million Of people take
part in the festivities aud the scene
rivals anything ever presented ON
the American Continent.
On the day preceding the Presi.
dents birthday il is customary to-
hold the unrivalled Battle of
Flowers Long before the sun
begins to peep over the hills there
can be seen thousands Of Indians
vending their way TO the city,
bringing with them large supplies
of rarest aud choicest flowers.
Houses are decorated in the great
est prOfusion, and the public build
ings and statues show a practical
evidence Of the great fertility and
richness Of the soil. II is one Of
the days when every one has a free
license The rich and the poor
mingle and pelt one another with
flower. in the most democratic
manner.
This il followed by two days
given up to most extrayagant cele-
brations, conducted with pomp and
eclat never witnessed in our Dem.
ocratic Republic. They also have
their Liberty Bell' which has a
history equaling ours and not least
among the ceremonies Is the ring.

THE PoPE's "FEELER."
Cover Maximum Concessions That
Spain Is Willing to Make

Washington. July 26.-The reported
statement from the vatican of what
purports to be terms of peace accept
able to both the United States and
Spain, is set down here as only one Of
the many ''feelers' that have been
thrown out within the past ten weeks.
probably TO test public feeling in the
United States primarily, and second
arily to break slowly to the masses of
the Spanish people the retaliation of
their complete defeat, something of
which they are not aware, because of
the superhuman efforts put forth by
the Spanish government to suppress
or pervert the news of actual events.
1t is suspected that the terms named,
the annexation to the United States of
Cuba and Porto Rico and the relin-
punishment of the Philippines, repre-
sent what may be now looked upon as
the maximum concessions that Spain is
willing to make.
From this point of view the state
ment is not discouraging, though, of
course. ii must be realized that the
Spanish minimum is very far below the
American minimum. Still there must
be some starting point for negotiations
that will in the end lead up to peace
and therefore the publication of these
various ''feelers" is not deprecated by
our government, though so far it can
be positively asserted they have no
basis of fact, at least on this side of
the Atlantic.

LONDON PRESS CoMMENT.
All Agree That Spain Cannot Pay a
Cash Indemnity.

London, July 27.-The London morn
ing papers agree that it will be impos-
sible for Spain to pay indemnity, ard
that it is impossible that the United
States will demand money indemnity.
/ They all concede that the Spanish flag
has gone forever from Cuba and Porto
Rico.
The question of the future of the
Philippine Islands is universally ad-
mitted as presenting grave difficulties,
/ owing TO the impossibility of granting
| independence. The general opinion is
/ that the United States will retain a
coaling station and have a reversion in
| the islands
The Daily News says: 1T would be
an act of extreme generosity to leave
Spain in the possession of the Philip
pines, but generosity is often the best
policy. II the United States should be
content with such a reward of its Ia
bors as would leave the Philippines to
Spain, 1t would set the world an exam
pie of conspicuous magnanimity."
The Daily Chronicle thinks that some
sort of international protectorate over
the Philippines should be arranged.
The Daily Mail says: We hope
President Mckinley will be moderate.
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
should be ample compensation without
The Times. in an editorial this morn
ing. applauding Spain for accepting the
inevitable, advises her to face the
facts of the political situation with the
same frank courage which secured the
respect of the Americans on the battle
field
Discussing the probable terms of
peace, the Times says: THE United
States will probably take Porto Rico
in lieu of a money indemnity, and it
would be best for the world at large if
America boldly undertook the burden
of government of Cuba and the Philip
pines, a strong. honest government
through American officials.
IF Spain is permitted to reassume
sovereignty over the Philippines she
will have to engage in a war of con-
quest, which might be attended with
serious consequences to American and
other international interests in the Pa
cific"

FORAKER'S VIEWS.
Thinks We Should Take Porto Rico
and the Philippines.

Washington, July Ex-senator Fora
ker of Ohio, the only Republican men,
Der of the foreign relations committee
in the city, said tonight that while he
was very glad TO see that the end of
the war was in sight, he did not wish
to take any position which would ap-
pear to be fo1estalling the action Of
the administration. The treaty of peace,
when concluded, he said, would be sub
mitted to the senate. 1t was his opin-
ion that whatever terms were made,
the reasons for them would be such as
to commend them to the judgment Of
the senate, and they would be agreed
to, especially as hostilities would have
ended. Senator Foraker said:
Il do not think we should give up
any territory of which we have taken
possession. We should retain Porto
Rico and the Philippines and give to
Cuba independent government and
maintain such relations with the peo-
pie as would ultimately bring about
the annexation of the island to the
United States by the desire Of the peo-
pie themselves, as in the case of Ha-
wall. The independence of the people
of Cuba is due to them for the splendid
fight they have made for three years
against Spain. They have made their
independence possible"
Senator Foraker said he did not see
how it was possible to turn the Philip
pine islands back to Spain.

WORK OF QUE SHELLS.
Erect of Naval Bombardnent Of
City of Santiago.

Guantanamo. July 26.--An order just
issued regarding the navy's lombard
ment of Santiago de Cuba says:
Twelve houses were completely
wrecked inside. and one house was
burned. Sixteen S-inch shells struck
within three blocks of the Gale de Mar
ian.
These eXcavated the ground to a
depth of about four feet. and about ten
feet in length. The street was macad-
amized. 1t is judged from the fact
that many of them struck near the
waters edge that a number OF shells
must have gone into the bay.
Army officers have stated that 30 or
40 went beyond the northern edge of
the bay into the Spanish lines.
"A dozen or more of the shells had
not exploded. In four of them the base
had been simply blown out In one
case four-inch shell, which was prob
ably stray shell fired during the dem
onstration at Aguadores on July l, had
gone through a tree. and had exploded
in the ground beyond
When the severe effect Of the S-inch
shells is considered, it is a matter for
ccngratHlation that it was not neces-
sary to continue the bombardment
longer and fire 13-inch shells, as the
squadron had prepared to do. The eff
