the islands over to Germany. Admiral
/ Dewey aud Gen. Otis are not men to
be driven by any country's soldiers,
and the idea OF their being driven by
the rabble which composes the in.
surgent army, is too ridiculous to be
entertained for a moment, and that
Germany has any idea of openly as
sisting the insurgents in any move
ment against the Americans is not at
all probable
Nothing official has been given out
on the subject. but it is known that
the request of the Spanish Military
Commissioners to make six months
job of evacuating Cuba, has been very
positively refused. The Spaniards
have been courteously, but firmly told
that the evacuation of Cuba must be-
gin not later than October, and must
be completed before the end of Deem
Der. It is probable that a considerable
body of American soldiers will be in
Cuba before the first of November, and
that the entire army of occupation
will be there by the first OF December,
Capt. r. w. Austin, U. S. Marshal
for the Eastern District of Tennessee,
now in Washington, said of public
sentiment in his state: "The most
popular man with Tennesseeans is
President Mckinley, whose course in
the war won for him the appreciation
of III en- of all parties. The idea of re.
tanning every acre OF conquered terri
tory is favored in our state. The
opening up of Cuba and Porto Rico
will be of immense advantage to the
South, for it will give us a splendid
market for our coal and iron, flour,
and other products. To a man we
are in favor of building the Nicaragua
canal, the construction of which will
add millions to the revenues OF the
Southern states"

New York Tribune.
Sagasta tells Spain bluntly that she
is nation in decay. The diagnosis
is scientific and accurate, but whether
its communication to the patient is
professional or not the state and the
minister will have to settle between
them. 1t is certain that the old Spain
must perish and all the clumsy me-
diaeval machinery of its government
be cast away. But perhaps a new
Spain may arise with new impulses
and ideas, with the schoolmaster
abroad instead of the monk and the
barefoot friar and the rosetted mata-
dor, in which event she will be in bet
ter form for her new race without the
handicap of colonies.

To the close of the week the deaths
in the army since the campaign began
were ISL, while the deaths in bat
tie were 332. This makes a total o.
1893 out of an army of EOS, 900 men.
This is 4 men to each 1000, OF
less than z of per cent. Still, the

Germany Not Feared.

The officials of the War Department
pronounced to be without foundation
in fact the alarmist stories coming
from sources in San Francisco to the
effect that Germany had shown any
disposition to arm the insurgents OF
the Philippines, with view to incit-
ing them to harass the American
army at Manila
The officials stated to be positively
untrue the statement that our Gov
eminent had received any such infor-
nation or that it was influenced by
such in ordering the despatch last
week of 5000 additional troops to re-
intorce Gen, Otis at Manila. 1t is un-
doubtedly fact that some apprehen-
sion was caused at an early stage OF
the war by the attitude of the German
naval force in Manila harbor. But,
so far as can be learned, that difficulty
has been snoothed away and there
has been no recurrence of the unpleas-
ant incidents in those quarters.
The statement that Germany was
sending $50, 600 rifles to arm the in.
surgents, it was said at the War De.
partment that such an act would con.
stitute casus belli, and it was not
supposed for a moment that there was
any truth in it.

Indianapolis Journal
No story concerning i'll treatment
of soldiers was more widely circulated
or caused more incorporate denuneia-
/ ton ofthe authorities than that describ-
ing the condition of the Eighth New
York Regiment when it passed through
Cleveland on the way home from
Chickamaugua. Over $50 men were
sick and were represented as practi-
eally uncared for, as suffering terribly
Tor the comforts of lie until relieved
by Cleveland women, who brought
them delicaeies, bathed their faces
with Florida water and laid flowers
upon their pillows. Some Of them
were said by Cleveland physicians to
be SO i'll that they would hardly get
home alive, and DIR. I.indhelm, the
surgeon in charge Of the train, was
urged to leave these men at the Cleve-
land hospital as the only chance for
their recovery. Just what business
these Cleveland doctors had on that
train was not explained; but, perhaps
the professional ethics which forbid
interfering with fellow physicians
patients in private life do not include
Government surgeons. At all events,
DIR. Lindhelm was heralded far and
wide as monster of incompetence
and heartlessness, and was the target
for endless abuse. His $50 patients
are all well now, in spite Of Cleveland
doctors and yellow newspapers, while
DR. Lindhelm is dead-driven to his
grave by the attacks upon him which
he could not answer. Before he died
he told friend that reporter, who
boarded the train at Cleveland with
the visiting physicians threatened to
"roast" him if he did not leave the
sick men behind He also said that
someone on the way had telegraphed
to Cleveland undertaken to meet the
train prepared to take care Of six dead
soldiers. The undertaken was there,
but there were no dead. The circum-
stances in this case support what has
come to be considerably more than
suspicion with those who have
watched the course OF events careful
ly, namely, that agents of the inceu-
diary press or other enemies OF the
Government were engaged in a con-
spiracy to misrepresent the facts con-
corning the army and its treatment;
to exaggerate all the drawbacks and
to manufacture tales Of woe when ex-
aggeration failed them. The scheme
was overworked, however. So many
of the stories of horror proved to be
without foundation that the public
began to grow skeptical some time
since, and is now slow to accept them
without investigation. The reaction
will not tend to benefit the sensation
al press, and it would be we'll if an
outraged public would show its indig-
nation in a way that would prevent
repetition of such offenses.

the members OF the society had full opportunity 10
just how the fly got the best OF the caterpillar
