the Desperate Situation of
the Country.

MADRID, Aug. Elm the conference.
between Senior Sagasta and Senior Sill
vela, the latter urged that it was i'm
perative to summon the cortes for the
negotiation of treaty of peace.
Gen. Polavieja, who was present, de-
clined subsequently to speak of the
conference to the representatives OF
the press on the ground that his duty
as soldier imposed secrecy upon him,
but Gen. Azcarraga said that if Spain
possessed adequate resources the war
should be continued in order to secure
more acceptable conditions; otherwise
peace ought to be Immediately con-
cluded.

AN ABUNDANCE OF SUPPLIES.
Miss Clara Barton Says the Rcd Cross II
In Need o; Nothing Now
but Rice.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Stephen S. Bar
ton, chairman of the executive com.
mittee of the American Red Cross, yes
terday received a cablegram, under
date of Wednesday, from Miss Clara
Barton. The message conveys the in
formation that there are sufficient
supplies on hand at the Red Cross base
for the present, with the exception OF
rice, for which there is great need.
Supplies, Miss Barton continues, will
be sent to Gibara and Baracoa, on the
northern coast of the island. Great
suffering is known to exist in both
cities, and it is believed that Miss Bar
ton intends to take up the relief there
Immediately.
According to Miss Bsrt0n's cable
gram, there is now but one hospital
at Siboney. All the others have been
removed to the better location at San
tiago.
Ice is being distributed, under the
direction of the Red Cross, daily in the
Santiago hospital, and being sent by
train in sufficient quantity to the hos
pital at Siboney.

THE GROUND ROBIN" WORKED.
The Eject of Col. Roosevelt and His Fell
low Commanders Effective, But it
Called Forth q Rebuke.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Col. Theo
Roosevelt. of the Rough Riders, has
succeeded in hurrying the movements
of the war department in fetching
Skaters army away from Santiago,
though in his disregard of the con-
ventionalities he has drawn upon his
head rather sharp rebuke from the
secretary of war, who evidently re-
CARDS the course pursued by Col.
Roosevelt as being calculated to injure
discipline, though inspired by the most
worthy motives. 1t is only fair to
state that the war department for some
time has been intent upon removing
these troops. and it is now more than
a week ago that Gen. Shafter was in
structed by a special cablegram to
cheer up the soldiers by publicly in
forming them of this determination.
1t was rather a question of ways and
means than of lack of intention to re-
deem this promise that caused delay.
Made No Such Recommendation.
As far as the question of removing
the troops back into the mountains
was concerned (the question which
seems to have precipitated the indigna-
ton meeting among the American
commanders at Santiago), it is learned
that the medical department here made
no such recommendation. ALI that it
had to say on this subject was that if
the troops must remain near Santiago,
an effort should be made to remove
them at once to some healthier camp
ing grounds.
Not Immune to Yellow Fever.
Surgeon-General Sternberg agrees
thoroughly with the opinion expressed
by the signers of the Round Robin at
Santiago that men who have suffered
from the severe malarial fevers of the
south Cuban coast, SO far from being
immune against attacks of yellow fe.
yer, as has been asserted in some quar-
tiers, are actually in very much greater
danger than those who have escaped
the malaria.
No Protection Against Yellow Jack.
Malarial fever, it is stated, is no
more a protection against subsequent
attack of yellow fever than would be a
case of measles against smallpox,
while the fearful debility resulting
from the malarial fever would GER
tainly tend to make the victim an espe-
cial mark for Yellow Jack.
The Departments Resources.
The department Immediately gave
out a statement of it's resources in the
way of transports at Santiago, and
also, as an incident, directed attention
to the fact that the troops cannot be
withdrawn as a whole until the Span
ish prisoners are disposed of. Other
wise, there is no certainty that, find
ing themselves able to do so, the
Spaniards would not overpower their
captors, repossess themselves of Sam
tiago, and thus lose to the American
army the small foothold in Cuba
which it has cost so much blood and
money to secure. 1t is, however, the
expectation that all of the American
troops will have been removed from
Santiago to the United States by the
end of this month, and that is proba-
bly, the very best that can be done I'M
der the circumstances.

A TREMENDOUS SENSATION.
Number of Oficers of the Sixth Massa-
chusetts, Now In Porto Rico,
Tender Their ResIgnations.

Boston, Aug. A special cable
gram to the Journal from Ponce, Porto
Rico, says:
A tremendous sensation has occurred
in the Sixth Massachusetts, regiment,
which is in Gen. Garretson's brigade.
The friction between the line Of
ticers and the officers of the
brigade, which has been growing
ever since the command left Cuba,
reached its climax Monday, when Col.
Woodward, Lieut.-Col. Chaffin, Maj.
Taylor, Chaplain Dousseault and Capt.
Goodell of Company K resigned their
commissions.
The exact reason which prompted
them to take this action is not yet
known. The cause must have been
serious indeed.
The designations leave Maj. Charles
K. Darling in command of their regi-
ment-
The matter has been fully reported
to Gen. Miles, and a rigid investigation
has been ordered. By military law to
resign in face of the enemy means a
court martial

OFF SAN JUAN DE PORTO Rico, Aug.
6.-The Americans have taken peaceful
possession of the eastern portion of the
island. Small parties of marines have
been landed, who have lighted lamps
in the Lighthouse at Cape San Juan
and other lighthouses along the coast.
They met with no resistance. Indeed,
at Cape San Juan Populations of citi-
zens came out to meet them
The War Ships In the Vicinity.
The war ships now in this vicinity
are the Montgomery and the Annap-
oils, the Puritan and the Amphitrite.
The two former are looking for the
transports with troops which left the
United States and have scattered all
about the island. The Annapolis
rounded up the Whitney, the Florida
and the Raleigh yesterday and they
are now at Cape San Juan.
Made a Mistake to the Rendezvous.
There seems to have been a serious
mistake as to the rendezvo for nc

will take several days to locate them
and to get them to Ponce, where Gen
Miles is waiting.
Off San Jaun the cruiser New Or
leans alone maintains the blockade.
The city is grim and silent, but back
of her yellow walls there will be
plenty of determination and fight
when the Americans open fire.
A Proclamation.
Capt.-Gen. Macias has issued proc
lamation, in the cours e of which he
says:
Spain has not sued for peace, and

The daughter of the captain-general
is helping to drill the gunners in the
forts. Altogether there are 9,50(
Spanish soldiers in the city. The
troops of the enemy, who are retreat
ing from Ponce and the other towns
on the south coast occupied by the
Americans, have not yet arrived.
The German steamer Polynesia, with
a cargo of rum, canned meats and to
bacco, tried to run the blockade yes
terday morning, but was stopped by
the New Orleans.

THE ISSUE THAT "DIES."
But Stin the Silver Question Is the
Most Important of All National
Issues During Campaigns.

We are now witnessing the bi-month
Iy dying out of the silver question"
This wonderful performance, as usual,
is taking place in the editorial rooms of
the plutocratic press. It seems that a
travelling correspondent of one of these
organs met a man in the road in Hi
nois, and told him howdy. The man
howdied, and suggested something
about the weather. The correspon-
dent, not being satisfied with this,
asked the man whittier the road led.
From here to the crossroads" an
swered the man, "but at the crossroads
It branches out an goes every which
away"
This was more satisfactory, for the
correspondent clapped spurs to his
horse and galloped to the nearest tele-
graph station, whence he sent thou
sand-word dispatch announcing that
''the silver question is dying out in all
parts of the country" As result, we
find it dying out" in all the plutocratic
organs. This dying OUT business is
a great deal too numerous to count its
anniversaries, and there is no need to
go back to history to verify dates.
The silver question was dead" in
1892, dying out" in 1894, dead in 1896
and "dying out" in 1898. This being SC
we wonder that the plutocratic press
concerns itself so far as to keep silver's
memory green. 1t is queer that the
editors have never been led to suspect
that the whole financial question, which
is inseparably connected with silver,
gets at least part of its vitality from
the conspicuous manner in which they
advertise it.
The fact is, however, that the talk
of war only makes the silver question
more important. Of all national issues
it is the only one that is sure to be
found at the bottom of all political dis
cussion. If the talk is about war, you
hear the plutocratic editors ask with a
SILVER: "But won't war involve sus-
pension of gold payments and bring us
plump to silver basis, or, what is
worse, to a paper basis?" Let the talk
be about the prospects of currency re-
form, or the effects of the tariff, and:
behold! our old friend, the silver ques-
ton, bobs up as clipper and as ready
for a frolic as kitten.
Does man want to run for governor!
Very we'll; the first thing he must do il
to announce where he stands on the sill
yer question. Does he want any other
important office? He must tell the
voters how he feels in regard to the re.
monetization of silver. This, of course
does not interfere with the regular BIZ
monthly "dying out" of the silver ques-
ton in the organs; but it shows that
the people are neither dead nor sleep
ing.
Wars and rumors of war may come
and go; the honor" and Integrity" OF
the nation may be talked of by those
who wouldn't know national integrity
if they met it in the road; Sound"
money may form the subject of volum-
inous editorial articles, and numerous
pamphlets. but the silver question con-
tinues to be alive among the 100000
who voted for free coinage. The intelli-
gent white voters of the land voted to
remonetize silver by majority of more
than a million.-Atlanta Constitution.

ing Predicted for the Future.

HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 6.-The

suffering on the Newfoundland and
Labrador coasts. The party was on a
prospecting expedition, and included
DIR. Morris, whose services were re-
quired at Lewis Inlet night and day to
give relief to persons sick and dying
from starvation.
Large quantities of provisions were
distributed from the vessel The same
condition of affairs exists all along
the coast. There were 1000 persons
similarly situated and immediate re-
lief is necessary. The failure of the
fisheries will tend to further increase
the suffering.
