a bottle of it. His wife did not approve
of Mr.. Rowlands purchase at first, but

Those Cuban insurgents don't pan
out very well. Gomez forces haye
proven to be nothing but bands of un-
organized men. Garcia has about LOO
troops, we'll organized and the best In
the field. Gomez does not even possess
the good sense to favor an invasion of
the island by American troops but
wants his forces to be furnished arms

the fighting. This our government
well not listen to, and the campaign in
Cuba will be conducted Just as though
Gomez did not exist. Our people have
been greatly deceived in the reports of

Those people who, few years since,
grumbled because this government be-
lieyed it advisable to construct a mod
ern navy at time when there was no
prospect of a war, and declared that it
was a useless expenditure of money.
and that all difficulties should be settled
by arbitration, now see the folly OF
their belief and the injustice of their
complaint. What would we have done
In the present crisis with arbitration
with no modern war ships to back up
our demands? 1t is only to be regretted
that we did not commence earlier with
our navy building.

While it is undoubtedly proper for
the United Strtes to refrain from any
alliance, offensive and defensive with
England, at the present, it should ever
be borne in mind that the friendly po-
sition toward the United States, as ia
ken by England, has had much to do
in preventing other foreign nations
from assuming a friendly attitude
toward Spain. The course of the Brit
tish government has been very honora-
BILE and the United States government
aud people should not forget this fact.

In 1893 Frank Van Loon was hung
for the Columbus Grove murder and

in the minds of prison officials who
were familiar with Van Looms case, a
belief that he was innocent of the mur-

GEN. KING IN COMMAND
Belief That He Will Head the Next Expedi-
tion to Manila.
He Predicts the Need of $4,000 Men
There Because of Agulnal-
dos Actions.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-It is under
stood that Brigadier General Charles King
will be in command of the next Manila ex-
petition. He will probably go either on
the Arizona or Scandia.
Brigadier General Miller, now commander
of the Preside, probably will remain for
the present, at the expressed desire Of Gen.
Merriam. Referring to the men TO go to
Manila, Gen. King said:
1T is my personal opinion that every
man of the expeditionary force will be
wanted in the Philippines and will go there.
Even should Manila be taken from the
Spanish and the war settled in the orient
as far Spain is concerned, with the forces
now there or already ordered to depart, yet
it is not to be doubted that Gen. Merritt
will be glad to have $4,000 men befors he
is through with Aguinaldo The men at
Camp Merritt and the Presidio may rest
assured that they will see all of the Philip
pines they DESIRE
Active preparations for moving the troops
at Camp Merritt to the Presidio will begin
today and in three days the new grounds
will be ready for the reception of at least
a part of them. 1t is the intention of Gems.
Merriam and Miller to move only those
troop that are not soon to be assigned to
transports.
Sickness among the soldiers here is in
creasing. In the division hospital are 20S
patients, and in the Preside barracks hos
pital fortyfive, total of 253 soldiers, not
counting perhaps a hundred less severe
cases in regimental hospitals
More soldiers are sick now than during
the bad weather when about 1900 were
at Camp Merritt. where today there are
only little over half the number.
De Witt l.. Tucker, a private in Com
pany L, 51st Iowa, died Sunday of pneu-
monia. His remains will be taken back to
Council Bluffs for burial.
Joseph Baker, q private in Company B.

GARCIA'S ALLEGED LETTER.
1t Will Cause No Change in Our Pro-
gram in Cuba.

Nothing has come Yet from Gen. shafter
|" the war department, either in the shape
OF a cablegram or a mailed report. containing
any reference to the correspondence which
has passed between himself and Gen Gar
ca Inc ohclals have no doubt that Gan.
Smarter wrote reply to the Garcia letter,
but they still refuse to believe that Garcia
either wrote or knew of the initial letter
which was said to have been addressed by
him to Gen. Shafter. One point that seems
to afford some basis for this disbelief Is
zen. shaftsrs statement that he invited
Gen. Garcia to be present at The ceremonies
attending the raising of the American flag
over Santiago. 1t is hardly conceivable that
Gen. Garcia, therefore, should have made
such statement as that attributed to him
In the alleged letter. directly at variance
with the Facts as reported by Shafter
While regretting the friction that exists
at Santiago between the Cubans and the
American forces our government can see
no cause at this moment for a modificat ton
OF Inc program 1t has outlined In the mattsr
OF tina government of that city AS one Of

town like Santiago can exist only in time Of

only form of government that can be erect
ed and maintained over iferritory occupied
by an army is a military government. To
attempt to be guided by any other rule
would be to invite anarchy and would lead
to notable excesses.
II Is not intended by this statement to re-
Meet upon the character Of thu Cubans or
their ability for self-government. but this
rcle would and should be applied in any
conquered territory. 1t could not be con-
ceeded for moment that ths United States
iorces should go on capturing communities
IN Cuba and then turning them over, while
the war existed. to an element that had not

believed to be exactly in accord with the

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
Conferences Between Secretary Long
and the President.
SIMPSONS REPORT DISCUSSED
The Document to Be Made Pub
lie Wednesday.
SOME OF TODAY'S CALLERS

Secretary Long had short conference
today with the President. The Secretary
announced that the official report of Ad-
nliral Sampson on the fight with Cervera
will be made public on Wednesday morn
irg.
Regarding the Watson squadron the
Secretary said that 1t is at the orders of
the President, and will not sail until the
President sees proper. This makes the
time for sailing indefinite.
The Presidents reasons for postponing
the departure of the squadron are not
known. but it is hinted in some quarters
that Spain is on the point of making peace
propositions These might be prevented by
the squadron going across the waters
The President and Secretary Long have
recently held several long and important
conferences about the naval situation Yes
terday Secretary Long went to the White
House at noon. and remained with the
President nearly three hours. The Samp-
sen report was largely under discussion
then. the Secretary taking it with him
when he went to see the President
Lieut.. Carr's Interview
Lieut.. Carr of the Rough Riders, who
has been in the city some time today
spent half hour at the White House He
was badly wounded in the campaign he
fore Santiago, after making an exhibition
of unusual bravery. He is a boyish-Iook-
ing officer, and now walks with cane
with some difficulty. He was clad in the
tropical uniform of the. American forces
in Cuba. Lieut. Carr had a personal in
teryiew with the President, whom he was
anxious to see while here. President Nc
kinley spoke very kindly of his gallant
services, and the President and the wound
ed young veteran conversed for some time
regarding the work done at Santiago.
Some of Today's Callers.
President Mckinley saw few visitors to-
day. and is now getting more time to at
tend to business than for weeks. Repre-
scntatives Wanger of Pennsylvania and
Hooker of New York, Assistant Secretary
Moore and Assistant Secretary Vanderlip
were among the official callers.
number of the unofficial callers who
have stuck close to the White House
for months as General Grant did to Peters
burg had good luck in getting to see the
Pre- sident.
Capt. Charles Loeffler, the Presidents
doorkeeper, is now having comparatively
easy sailing. During the sessions of Con-
gress he has to arrange admission to the
President for senators and representatives.
This is delicate work when twenty or thr-
ty congressman are waiting for an audi
ence, as is frequently the case There are
now few congressman in the city and Capt.
Loeffer devotes his time to making the un-
official callers feel happy
Mr. Beach's Visit.
Harry Beach, brother of Capt L. H.
Beach, District Commissioner. called on the
President this afternoon to talk over af-
fairs at and around Santiago. Mr.. Beach

since his landing from the ST. Paul here on
Friday morning
Upon his return to this city he went to the
office of the Merritt & Chapman Trecking
and Derrick Company to complete the
preparations for righting and preserving
the Colon.
Lieut.. Hobson announced later in the day
that the company had consented to under
take the rescue of the Colon and was max
ing every effort to begin the work as soon
possible.

he, lies in the complete submergence, upon

Santiago Tradesmen Will Not Take
Them Mt Their Face Value.

Them Mt Their Face Value.
Major Sniffen of the pay corps will sail
from New York tomorrow on the Olivette
for Santiago, accompanied by three pay
masters. They will begin the payment of
troops on their arrival, and in a very short
time will be Joined by other paymasters
who will assist in paying off General Shat
ter's army, and then will probably proceed
to Porto Rico to pay off the army of Gen
eral Mics.
A rather interesting question has arisen
In regard to the payment of troops. A
telegram has been received from General
Shafter requesting that gold and paper
money be sent to Santiago, as tradesmen
there refuse to accept American silver dol
lars at their par value, and rate them at
fifty cents on the dollar, like the Mexican
dollars and dollars of South American
countries. 1t was Paymaster General Stan
tons intention to send as little silver as
possible. confining it mostly to subsidiary
coin for the purpose of making change, on
account of the greater convenience to take
gold and paper. and he will continue to do
so. Considerable indignation is expressed
that American money of any kind is dis
counted in Cuba, and 1t has been suggested
to the Secretary of War that any trades
man who refuses to accept United States
money Of any kind at 100 cents on the dol
lar should be removed from any territory
over which the American flag flies. It Is
not known that any orders will be sent
to General Shafter on the subject. The
supposition Is that refusal to accept silver
dollars is the result of the long use Of
the silver money of Mexico and South
American countries. which has never passed
g.
dents of Santiago probably cannot discrimi-
nate between our silver and the other sill
yer which has been a part of the crculat-
ing medium of Cuba.
