The Cubans and Santiago.

SANTIAGO, Aug. 16.--Gen. Wood
learned to-day that the Cubans had
planned to make an attempt later in the
month to occupy the city jointly with
he Americans, in pursuance OF their
desire TO share the civil administration
of the town with the American officers
and place their flags on the public
buildings. The plan of the Cubars,
Gen. Wood learns, is not to resort to
any violence but 10 attempt to
march into the town pesceably.
The details of the scheme however
are not yet known to the Americans,
but the Spanish and Cuban residents of
the town who know Of the plan are
very much opposed to it, They have
petitioned the American officers TO re-
main and preserve order and nothing
is more certain than that the Cubans
will not be allowed to enter the city.
The Moro road, by which the Cubans
have to reach 10 Santiago, is guarded
Dy the Fifth regiment of immunes, COM
manded by Col. Sergeant, whose orders
are to let no bodies OF armed men pass
Every one has been disarmed in the
town under the terms OF the proclams-
ton issued by Gen. Shafter after the
news of the signing of the protocol ar
rived. Hundreds of machetes have
been taken possession of and stored in
the public arsensls. Garcia's army is
now on 2S-day furlough and most Of
his men are at their homes.
The health OF the town under the improv
ed sanitary conditions is getting better. No
new cases OF y elbow fever have been reported
he sickne among the Spanish prisoners
however, is increasing, 146 cases having
been reported to General Wood to-day. The
principal complaints are malignant malaria

ASLEEP on THE TRACK.-J!m Cole,
a co.orrd boy, who had been engaged
ito calc for cows at Yates's galden, on
FnuaIln street, grew weary and went
to sleep on the electric railway track
late Yesterday evening. A train soon
approached and Motorman Henshaw
saw Tie boy and applied the brakes
aud HE trolley was pulled down by
Conductor Burke, thus cutting of the
current. The speed of the train slack
ened but little, and the death OF the
boy seemed inevitable, when colored
workman who was riding on the front
Ot ttccar, jumped from the car at the
risk Of losing his life. He did not have
time TO drag the sleeping boy from The
track, but succeeded in removing his
heat from the rail, placing the body
between the rails, allowing the train TO
pass cars length over it before the
speed was checked. The boy was
greatly surprised when he awoke and
asserted that he fell asleep beside &
fence.

1t is not easy to understand from the
press reports exactly what sort of a
currency bill our own Mr.. Walker is 60
ing to introduce into the house, but it is
easy to see that he is sanguine of it's
success, for he is quoted as saying that
the bill will pass both the house and
the senate for it will be acceptable to
the friends of the existing greenbacks
and the continued use of what silver we
now have, and will make the keeping
of all kinds of paper and metallic
money, each at a parity with the other,
incumbent on the banks, relieving the
United States treasury from that duty.
That is what the greenbacker, the free
coinage man and the gold man each
demand should be DONE" In a. general
way, this may be comprehensive, but
what does Mr.. Walker mean in the
words attributed to him by the usually
accurate Springfield Republican CORE
spondent? The measure reported will
make as little change in the banking
laws as can be made, and allow the
people the free use of paper money such
as they had before the 10 per cent tax
on bank currency destroyed that cur
rency Mr.. Walker explained that he
did not contemplate the restoration of
the old state bank currency" Some
body must have mixed those children

At last, it looks as if England had set
her foot down hard, and should Ger
many and Russia persist in their SEEM
ing purpose to dismember the Chinese
empire, they will have to reckon with
the greatest maritime power of the
world. This is not a notice to quit, but
it seems to be tolerably definite asser-
ton that neither Germany nor Russia
will be allowed to appropriate the
country as if it were its own, nor to
monopolize seaports to the exclusion Of
England and other powers. So much
for the situation as it rests today. In
case war shall be declared against
China for the obvious purpose of ter
ritorial aggrandizement. England an
nounces that she will take whatever
action her interests may seem to die
tate. That she has an understanding
with Japan in this matter, is indicated
by the report that Japan has sent to
Pekin note similar to that which Eng
land indicted. There would seem to be
no further doubt as to England's posi-
ton in the Yellow sea, and perhaps
there may be occasion for a revision Of
those kilograms of congratulation which
have been exchanged between the car
and the kaiser. Neither monarch is
laundering for a war with Europeans.

"No president in our time, except,
perhaps, Gen. Arthur" writes Henry
Macfarland, has equalled President
Mckinley in courtesy to his visitors .
This recalls the days when the fastidi-
Gus New Yorker used to thank good
ness that at last there was man in
the White House whose trousers did
not bag at the knee. The exquisite's
definition of gentleman was a man
who not only had good clothes, but
knew how to wear them. The Hon.
Chester A. Arthur had that knack. So
far as we have observed, Mr. McKin-
ley's tailor. has not yet become a party
issue, but the sincerity of the CORE
spondent's compliment to tine presidents
urbanity, will be duly appreciated.

Therefore he is going 10 adopt Col. War
