 h support of our contention we desire 10 cite so emi- nent an authority as Richard Harding Davis, the famous war cor respondent, who, writing from the army under date of July 6, says:
 'sI have been writing about this camp ever since it opened, and cer. tainly have not been an alarmist Mistakes have been made. yet the present does not seem the time to comment upon them and thus cause needless anxiety, The situation here is now critical-alarming-and it would be but false to make it out otherwise. The troops should never have be- Il sent here without the en- tire force of artillery at Tampa, and until it arrives they can neither ad- vance nor retreat. They can only lie on their faces, or be shot at if they rise. TEey have been in the most cruel heat and wet with fre- quent showers for the past th ee days. They are nable to move about. They are under an unceas- ing fire. Even the strongest and the brayest cannot stand such a strain long. Lack of speech, of ex- ercise, of food and of tobacco, aud the incessant fire of bullets and shrapnel will destroy any constitu- tion.

 Truthfully the expedition was pre- pared i'll ignorance and conducted in . series of blunders. It's com manding general has not yet even been within two miles of the scene of operation.

The commanding generals orders are disobeyed without moments hesitation. l have heard them coun termanded in my presence by colQnels. J
 From this It will be seen that Gen. Shafter is not the blooming success that has been claimed for him. Richard Harding Davis says of the Santiago situation that "we are in the face of possible disaster. Nothing has been done by the ex. petition beyond proving the be- roic courage of the American sol diers" And this letter was written since the destruction of the Spanish fleet last Sunday.
 It is therefore obvious that our situation at Santiago is critical. The condition is not as roseate as has been pictured by General Shaf. ter in his official reports to Wash ingtou.
 i've are in the face of a possible disaster, and if the condition of our troops is as related by cores pondent Davis, an awful calamity may yet overcome our brave sol diers at tiago.

saloon War at Cherokee.

CHEROKEE, Jan. 20. The fight here
between the Temperance league and
the Business Men S association over the
saloon question has reached an alafm-
ing state. On top of ordering all the
arc lights put out on account of an
empty city trea sury, the council is can
templating shutting off the water, or
that portion of it which is paid for by
the city, which includes public water
troughs and street fountains.
The petitioners have until Thursday
to secure the so per cent of the voters
of the town or SO per cent of the county
to sign their petition and each hour the
fight grows warmer. Bankers, mer.
chants, councilmen, county officials and
every man of influence who can be per-
suaded to get out is working hard to
secure the sufficient amount of names
on the mulct petition.
On the other hand, the Temperance
league is holding meetings day and
night and all sorts OF temperance, litera-
ture is being scattered broadcast over
the town. Colonel Balm of Kentucky
will deliver temperance lecture at the
Baptist church tonight under the aus
pices OF the league, and lecturer of

Secretary Gage Explains.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-In reply to a
resolution of inquiry, the secretary of
the treasury today sent to the senate a
statements explaining the omission of
the item concerning the accrued inter
est on the Pacific debts in the annual
reports since 1880. He says the change
made was due to decision of the United
States supreme court holding that
there,was no debt on account of inter
est until the maturity of the bonds. He
adds that the monthly statement of the
public debt includes a table in regard
to the Pacific railroad indebtedness
which shows the principal of bonds out
standing, interest accrued and not yet
paid, interest paid by the United States
and gives other information bearing
upon this indebtedness.
