RELIEVED THE SUSPENSE.
Welcome News o3 the Relief of the
Marines mt Caimunera

The news received yesterday that Ad-
mirai >Sanpson's marines at Guantanamo
had been re-enforced by several hundred
insurgents ard that the brave little band
of Americans is no longer in imminent
peril was welcomed by Administration Of
ficials with as much satisfaction, perhaps,
any previous intelligence since the be-
ginning. of the war.
Until yesterday afternoon the fate of
the 600 marines under Lieut.. Col Hunting
ton was in serious doubt. They were left
Monday night defending their camp in a
hand to hand conflict with bushwhaeking
Spaniards of overwhelming numbers, and
further ,advieese from Guantanamo were
awaited in painful suspense.
The Administration felt the anxiety all
the more keenly on account Of the delay
in getting Gen. Skaters invasion army
off. which re-enforcements were expected
by Admiral Sampson not later than last
Monday. II he had known that his land
re-enforcements were to be delayed the
admiral would no doubt have postponed
the landing of marines. His purpose was
simply to establish a base of supplies and
he did not anticipate the necessity of de-
Tending his newly established land posi-
ton for a week against overwhelming
Spanish forces by mere handful of men.
There was an unusual press of con-
gressional callers al the White House
yesterday. Not a few of them came In
quest of commissions for friends and some
in behalf of relatives. The supply of de-
sirable military sinecures is rapidly giving
out, and discomfort and disappointment
were accordingly spread upon many Off
cial countenances upon leaving the pres
ence of the President
Secretary Day had a late interview with
the President presumably 10 discuss the
reported attitude of Germany. Referring
to the rumored intervention of the Ger
man emperor at Manila. the Secretary
said:
Il do not think there IS any reason 10
believe that the emperor Of Germany will
attempt 70 interfere with whatever policy
the United States may pursue in the Phil
ippineS. More, I do not think there is
anything significant in the rumored atti-
tude Of the emperor"
As previously stated in The Times. the
invasion of Porto Rico will not be delay
ed pending future events in Santiago. The
President is understood as urging the i'm
mediate inauguration of an aggressive
campaign in Porto Rico
Gen. Miles will soon return TO Wash
ington- The experience he has gained in
viewing the difficulties of Gen. Skaters
emharkatton will operate to expedite the
Porto Rican expedition. and the Admin
istration is confident that the second
army of invasion will be dispatched with
fewer difficulties and much less delay.

MR.. M'KINLEY cAREWoRN.
Strength Impaired by Excessive
ueat md Constant Work.

The mental strain Of the past few weeks,
together with the excessive heat. is tell
ing upon the President. AT his tri-weekIy
public receptions in the East Room. his
fatigued and broken appearance is very
striking.
The Presidents personal friends are urg-
ing him to take more open air recreation,
but he disregards their advice. Late
hours, constant work and unbroken con-
finement are leaving traces upon his face,
and the strain is really very severe.
1t was against the advice of his physi-
clans that the President decided to spend
the Summer in the White, rouse and fore
go the relief of a suburban vacation. 1t
cannot be said that the President is on the
verge of a collapse but his physical
strength is being impaired and may fail
him at some critical time.

Wher all returns have been made II Is
estimated by careful keepers Of railroad
statistics that the gross earnings Of
American railroads for the FIRST six

increase, a. compared with the CORE.
spending period Of 1897, Of over $4,000,

Is shown, and but 2O2 roads have made
their reports. These 2O2 lines operate
1853. 1865 miles OF track. With this mileage
as a basis Of comparison. 1t is shown that
the present year bids fair to be a banner
one.
