WELL THEY DIDN'T KNOW
What the Spaniards Would Have Done
Had They Known of the War Depart
rpent'S Inf ciency.

Washington, October 17.-Informa-
ton has reached the War Department
that high officer Of the Spanish ar
my, recently made the statement that
had the Spaniards been aware of the
condition of the American army, its
inability to withstand the hardships
Of a campaign, its lack of medicine
and other supplies and general ineffi-
cheney as told in the American papers,
the Spaniards would not have given up
but would have continued the fighting
for a long time to come, fully believ-
ing that they would have been able to
prevent the capture of Cuba by Amer
lean arms. This statement is known
to have been made to the American
officers now in Cuba and causes some
uneasiness in official circles. as it may
mean that the Spaniards are not yet
ready to yield the island under the
terms of the protocol.
It is believed by officials in Wash
ington that had it not been for the out
cry made regarding the army and the
conduct Of the war. that there never
would have been any question raised
by the Spanish peace commissioners
regarding the Cuban debt.
Another matter that causes grave
consideration in the war department is
the temper of the Spaniards in Cuba
and the fear that the impression which
now prevails there may lead them to
regard the American troops of not
much account and act accordingly af-
ter the occupancy by the United States.
The matter has been discussed in the
War Department and it is probable
that when the troops are sent TO Cuba
there will be a force of such size and
character as to give the islanders a
different impression Of the United
States soldiers than they now enter
tain

offender and has given the officers
much trouble. The other two enlisted
at Shepherdstown, w. Va, and they
have had no previous military eXper-
fence. Three other privates in this
regiment were also manacled yesterday
for missing roll call.
There was an exodus of general Off

naphtha on beard and the smell of it

last evening. An explosion occurred
just as the captain of the Blengfell
had engaged the service of a tug.
which saved the survivors. The YES
sci burned so quickly that her crew
had no time to lower the boats.

ship as in the finest condition. He
said they had had trouble with her
boilers on her first trial and had with
drawn her from one trip, devoting
several weeks to repairing her ma

Mr.. Williams-'I saw him just be-
fore the Mohegan started and he seem

was lying on a couch most of the first
day."
Mr.. Williams-"I should be ex-
tremely surprised to hear that. Unfor-
tunately there is no officer of the Mo-
hogan living. We know that they and
the crew did all they could to save the

was not an officer on the deck when

boats. The only officers | saw were

Mr.. Williams-"I can prove that all
Of the officers were on deck and aiding
to get out the boats"
Mr.. Kelly insisted that the boats
were improperly arranged, being sur
rounded by ratings instead of swung
on davits, so that they were with diff

| London, October 1.-THE distressing
scenes witnessed here at the offices of
| the Atlantic Transport Company when
! the news of the wreck of the steamer
/ Mohegan first became known to those
who had friends of relatives on board,
were renewed this morning. There
were many weeping women present,
several with infants in their arms, ap-
! pealing for. news of the missing. Most of
them were the wivesOf members of the
crew. Some of them went away still
hoping their husbands had escaped, but
the majority gave way to despair.
Terrific weather has been prevailing
on the east coast of Great Britain.
There have been several wrecks and
rescues Of crews.
TIL life boat belonging to Cambois,
Northumberland. was overturned while
proceeding to the rescue of the crew
OF French Ketch. The life boat men,
with the exception of one man, who
was drowned, were rescued by the
rocket apparatus.
A dispatch to the Star from Falmouth
says cruel robbery of the dead of the
Mohegan has been perpetrated by I'M
known parties. An American, DR.. Fall
lows, according to the Star correspond
ent, tucked a bundle of $50 notes in
his breast when the Mohegan struck.
His body was subsequently found. but
the notes were missing. Several of
them were put in circulation on Sunday
and the police are investigating the
matter.
The inquest began this afternoon in
the church Of st. keverne because it
was necessary formally to identify
the dead there. The survivors, many
of them wounded and carrying their
arms in sings were obliged to ride
twenty miles over the toughest roads
from Falmouth.
The coroner expressed his sympathy
with the relatives many of them from
a distant but kindred country" The
roll of the dead was then called. One
Woman's body was claimed by two fam
lilies. Other bodies had no identifica-

 proye if she wanted to. The court
 might keep the bond, as she would not
 recognize it's authority by being tried
 in it. She also observed that it was
 a kangaroo court with no other ambi- tion than to cooperate with the pO- lice to drive her back into the block, ! many of whose residents were not re- snecfable. But she would not be driven. nor would she be arrested any ] more. If it was attempted again, she
 intimated. there would be a vacancy in inc police force occasioned by sudden death.
 The Republican contained an ac- count the other day of an altercation
 between James Pauley, the mining man. and another man whose name is forgotten. in which the other man had slit cut in the back of his hand which he had thrown across his stom- ach to prevent a slit in that receptacle. He stated that the trouble grew out of controversy on the liquor ques- tion, Pauley having stated that he had been setting 'em up' all morning to the other man without receiving any thing in return. MT. Pauley writes to The Republican desiring a correction of the account with respect to the cause of the affray He said he did not speak to the other man, he did not know him, never bought any booze for him and did not see any body else buy any. The other man, MT. Pauley says, addressed him in the worst of terms without any provoca- tion.
