Jefferxon's Principles and Their
Bearing On the Present.

Bearing On the Present.
The next speaker was Hon. James c.
Carter, OF New York
Mr. Carter took for his subject: 1.-The
University OF Virginia and It's Father
Thomas Jefferson" He said, in part:
The lives of institutions, like those OF
individuals, have their yicissitudes. This
University, In whose honor we are gather
ed together to-day, has not been an ex-
ception. 1t had a long struggle, even for
existence. JOY and triumph followed
when, eighty years ago, its first corner
stone was laid with pomp and ceremony
in the presence of distinguished COM
pany which included three illustrious
men, who had filled the office OF President
Of the United States. A long succeeding
period of growth, prosperity. and hap
piness was rudely interrupted by the
desolating storm OF war But even war,
which spares almost nothing. yet spared
the walls with their precious contents.
The dawn of peace found the University
weak and exhaustive, but not dishearten-
ed. The people of Virginia, who had learn
ed to cherish ii, its sons who looked back
to It with fond affection, the warm
hearted and open-handed friends OF learn
ing in distant places. came forward with
liberal help
Bot another stroke of adversely awaited
IT. Its very walls were left in ruins, and
it's precious contents wasted. There was
an immediate resolve that IL should rise
from its ashes In yet falrer proportions.
This great purpose has now been accom-
plished ard We are gathered together
to-day 10 celebrate its completion. The
University OK Virginia sprang into life
in full pancply from the conception or a
single man-Thomas Jefferson. He had

dictator; but what figure In the gal

SICK AT SANTIAGO.
Skaters Report Causes Concern at
Washington.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The report
Of General Shafter showing that there
We're 3,1I0 cases of sickness in the army
in Cuba has given the officials of the
War Department considera BILE concern
but the report that the yellow fever
cases were mild type encourages the
hope that the death rate will be small
The number OF fever cases reported
2,924, show that not only yellow but
typhoid and other fevers are prevail
ing.
General Sternberg says that it is the
history of yellow fever that it spreads
rapidly, and having once got started
IN the camp IS sure to infect many SOL
dlers. Speaking Of the other fevers,
he said that not only in Cuba but in
the camps in the United States. there
had been many cases, and was the his
tory of all new armies that fevers. espe-
cially typhoid, become quite common.
This was due to the change of climate
and mode Of life of the soldiers Even
where the water was pure cases would
arise. Soldiers bought and ate things
not furnished by the commssary, such
as milk and other goods peddled about
the camps. Often these foods caused
sickness. Another feature he men,
toned was the Indifferent care men took
of themselves when they Joined the
army. 1t was his belief that as the army
became more seasoned there would be
less sickness

the evil day of a settlement, the Sa-
gasta Ministry undoubtedly would turn
quickly toward it. But from that point
Of view the case is hopeless. Meeting
the Spanish overtures with frankness,
the United States will demand that it
should be treated in the same spirit
If disposition is shown to parley at
length it will not be encouraged, nor
is it believed that the French Embassa-
dor would be party to any such pro-
gram. If there must be talk of action
upon the United States proposal. the
discussion may proceed, but absolutely
without in any way retarding military
or naval operations. Dewey and Mer-
ritt will proceed uninterruptedly to ex-
ecute their program in the Philippines:
Miles will continue his advance upon

VIII cost a great deal of money, the
spanish Government, if it delays, must
expect to meet the expense when it
comes to a settlement
Ihe present disposition of our Gov
erhment Is TO demand no money indem-
nlty from Spain, although it might be
falrly questioned whether the small pro
posed territorial acquisition of Porto

pected in the beginning, there will be
steady pressure brought to bear that it

Not the faintest disposition is shown
by the representatives of the European
Powers in Washington to bring com
Dlned influence upon the Government of
the United States to secure better terms
for Spain than might be expected other
wise. The resident diplomats have so
far acquired a knowledge of American
character and governmental methods
as to realize that the immediate effect
OF ahy such interference as that pro-
posed would be directly resented, would
arouse the spirit of resistance of the
American people, and would have ex-
actly the contrary effect to that in the

SPANS PURPOSE.
Thought to Be to Develop United
States Position as to PhiIippines

WASHINGTON, July %. - 1t has
been suggested in some quarters that
Spain has been disingenuous in making
advances last Tuesday, and that her
real purpose was to develop the posi-
ton of the United States regarding
the Philippines, hoping in this way to
secure the active support of some of
the European Powers that have so far
held aloof from her
While this belief is not seriously en-
tertained at the State Department. the
Government, without regard to its
soundness, will proceed in a plain,
straightforward way to let Spain know
what is expected of her if she desires
peace.
1t is not likely that the European
Powers could profit materially by
learning what the intentions of the
United States are, but at any rate, it
is due to the world at large and in
