WASHINGTON LETTER.


From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June "a, 1898.
The task of capturing Santiago
is a more difficult one than it was
thought that 1t would be. So
much more. so that a, reinforce
me11t of several thousand men
have been sent from Camp Alger.
on the swift auxiliary cruisers
Yale and Harvard, and more are.
to follow as quick as ships to
carry them can be secured. Gen.
Skaters army is in Cuba, having
made the landing without fight
ing, and the siege Of Santiago on
the land side has begun, and
some skirmishlng has taken
place, but from the best obtain
able information in Washington
no general assault upon the forti-
6cations at Santiago is expected
before next week, unless Gen.
jShafter finds that. the. inforna-
ition that he has received up to
this time IS erroneous. He is not
being hampered in the slightest
degree by orders from Washing
ton, but is being, left to capture
Santiago in his own way, assisted
by Admiral Sampson and his
powerful fleet. The country
around Santiago is about as bad
as it could possibly be for mill
tary operations, and experienced
military men who are familiar
with it are not at all surprised
that Gen. Shafter has found it
necessary to move slowly. But
there is consolation IN the know1-
edge that if the movement is
slow it is also sure. No chances
of defeat are being taken. It is
ito be winning campaign from
start to finish, and the stars and
stripes are to float over Santiago
in the near future. The place is
more strongly fortified than it
was at first supposed to be and
there are three or four times as
many troops there as were re-
ported to be there when it was
first decided to take the place.
All of this las been learned since
Gen. Skaters arrival in Cuba.
But all~the same it is doomed.
The fight will be harder, that is
all the difference there will be
from original expectations.
Il is already apparent that one
the results of the war vii! be. a
bitter domestic controversy over
what disposition The u. S. shall
make of the territory acquired by
the war. Indeed, that contro-
versy has actually begun. Men
as wide apart in their general
ideas and beliefs as William ].
Bryan and Grover Cleveland have
united in their opposition to the
adoption of a'colonial policy by
this government. AS yet the
controversy is Individual, but
there is little doubt that it will
soon enter the political arena,
and it may even become the prin-
cipal issue of the next pres1den-
tial campaign, although that
would necessitate considerable
Encouragement Of party lines, as
men who believe with Senator
Teller, that the American flag
should neAer be lowered after be-
ing raised over territory acquired,
either by the consent of the peo-
pie or by force of arms, nay be
found in allof the political parties
at this time; likewise men who
agree with Messrs. Bryan and
Cleveland, that the U. S. should
confne its control to its own
shores. If congress fairly repre-
sents the sentiment of the coun.
try, the vote of more than two
thirds Of the house in favor OF
the annexation of Hawaii indi.
Gates that the colonial policy will
win by large majority.

cal officer, and Mr.. C. j. Weller, eRgi-

expedition, called the "Cape to Cairo expe-

launches and a barge built expressly for
the proposed trip. The party will dis
embark at Chinde, OH the coast Of Por-
tuguese East Africa, and after leaving
Tete the boats Will be put together on
the other side OF the rapids. They hope
to be able TO steam direct to Victoria
Falls, a distance of 200 miles. without
taking the launches out Of the water.
Working slowly up the Zambesi the ex-
plorers will use the river as line of
transport. but will make side expedition.

The boats will be used as base camps.
AS escort Major Gibbons will obtain In
Natal the services Of ten Zulu ex-police-
men and as many Zambesi river boys.
All the members Of the expedition will
be armed with Mausers.
Shortly before his departure, Major
Gibbons said: by January next hope
to have completed my work on the Zam-
best, and shall then be free 10 carry out
my project of crossing Africa TO Cairo
AS far as physical difficulties are con-
cerned, there is nothing to prevent me

T1pEwATER ELECTRIC ROAD.

The Richmond and Underwater Railroad
Company was incorporated by our Gene
raj Assembly March 3, 1898, to build a
railroad from Richmond to some point
on the Chesapeake bay or its tributaries,
and TO pass through Henrico, Hanover
and King William counties, and by
means Of branches connect Gloucester,
Mathews. Middlesex. King and queen,
and Essex counties with Richmond.
Tnese last-named five counties, with
an area of $4,000 acres. and population
Of 4S,OOO, have never been touched by
any railroad. Boats ply on most of the
many rivers which indent the shores or
these counties, and carry their produce
to Baltimore and northern markets,
This whole section is well adapted to
trucking aad fruit growing. ana its oyster
and fish trade is very large The expert
ence OF many years has proved that
their present transportation facilities are
not such as TO enable tho farmers or
tnat section 10 compete with other sec
uons where quick transportation is en-
Joyed. me people are restricted TO Bal
timore and q few northern markets. The
great bulk OF their trade is with Dalti-
more. Their produce gets into Baltimore
much of the time too iate TO command
good prices. The most conservative esti-
mate puts the loss TO the people on ac-
count of the late arrival of the boats in
Baltimore, at from 5000 to $1,000 per
annum. X Is believed a railroad would
not only open the markets OF Richmond
ana the great West to our tidewater
friends, but that 1t would enable them
to induce the steamboat companies 10
arrange their schedules with reference
10 their needs.
In view of the great benefits to be de-
rived from this railroad IL would seem
tnat the people OF Gloucester would
cheerfully vote the $4,000 in bonds asked
for in order to aid the company in build
ing an electric road to Richmond. Inc
question is to be submitted to the voters
of Gloucester on July 9th, and the law
requires that. 70 be effective. the propo-
sition must receive majority of the
registered vote of the county.

Ne gallant men who WELD the pen

Whose hearts are full of fury.
Whose heads are full of think,
Our country now is calling to
The reckless and the staid.
And loud the answers coming from

Now to discordant notes of strife
Each bard has tuned his Tyre,
And every heart is swelling like
huge pneumatic tire.
with rhythmic step they're march

AS to a dress parade.
Ten thousand cranks 10 Join the ranks
That form the war brigade.
Each scribe will sharpen up his quill
To puncture Spanish pride,
Mount his cavorting Pegasus,
And on 10 glory ride;
No harmless cartridges OF blank
Shall form their fusillade
But Volleys Of most deadly rhyme
Pour from the war brigade.

The naughty Dons will flee.
with q punctured. tired feeling, and
All plunge into the sea
Then the victors will return as from
A picnic escapade.
With not a scribbler missing from
The poets war brigade.
And when the strife is over and
And drum and fife are stu
And our ears no longer listen TO
Their war cries. loud and shrill.
by myers of fair maidens shall
Their songs Of love be played.
While lullabies somnambulize

Governor Bushnell will not return the
rebel battle-fags at the encampment OF
the Grand Army OF the Republic, al
Cincinnati, to their original owners. He
refuses on the ground that he has no
right to take such action without the
authority of the Legislature.
Furthermore, there is nobody autho-
rized to receive them. Yet, further.
before any one is authorized to receive
them, inquiry should be made as to
which Of the flags are really battle-fags,
and which were taken from women and
children, or from houses where they
were in use for decorative purposes.
