Madrid, June 80 (Iidnight) "A

Kingston, Jamaica, june S0).-The
force Of the American army is being

be begun. When that will be General

The troops a be moved without
serious delay and are pushing forward
rapidly, but the movement Of the pack

Of the officers and men TO the utmost.

"Thls organized money power, from
ITS secret conclave, would dictate the
choice OF your highest officers, and
compel you TO make war or peace, as
best suits their wishes. The forms of
your government might for a time re-
main, but its living spirit would de-
part from it," The above sounds like
true democracy. 1t was uttered by
Andrew jackson, in his farewell

ALGER EXPECTS A BATTLE.

Washington, d. c., June SO.-The
situation at the close Of the day was
described by Secretary Alger as being
such as to warrant him in entertaining
the expectation Of important news at
any moment. There were two parties
to a battle, and it might be precipitated
by either side, and no n here knew
what the Spanish disposition was. Nor
is much more known respecting Gen.
eral Skaters plan Of attack, although
in his message Of yesterday he indicated
a purpose to move early on the enemy
as shown by his declaration that rein
forcements could not reach him before
he offered battle.
Secretary Alger was very much graft
fed when he learned today that direct
telegraphic communication now existed
between Washington n Ten. Skaters
headquarters at Siboney. Heretofore
all messages from the general have
been delayed t~wenty-four hours, owing
to the necessity Of sending them acros:
rough country to reach the cable sta
ton. The loss Of so much time NIGH
be vital IN case Of argent need for rein
forcements or Of ammunition ant
supplies.
NAVY WILL COOPERATE.
The opinion is held here that thu
navy will cooperate In the attack OF
Santiago, and that to that end part o
Skaters force is to move immediatel,
upon MORO castle to capture the fort
and to enable the naval launches Il
open the gateway into the harbor b.
removing the mines.

A friend Of Mr.. Lincoln, a resident
OF Illinois, wrote to the president in
1868 for a fuller statement Of his views
and an explanation Of the closing pas
sages of his message Of December,
1861. 1t was in answer to this appeal
that Mr.. Lincoln wrote the following
letter, which was printed in the New
Nation in 1865. Mr.. Lincoln said:

THE BUELL. BANK CIRCULAR.

After the receipt Of the Hazard cir

qulries began coming in regarding
what was best to do. Mr.. Buell., who
was the bankers agent at that time,
circulated the following:
''Dear Sir: 1t is advisable to do all
in your power to sustain such daily and
prominent weekly newspapers, es-
pecially the agricultural and religious
press, as will oppose the issuing of
%greenback paper money, and that you,
a banker, also withhold patronage or
favors from all applicants who are not
willing to oppose the government issue
OF paper money.
'Let the government issue the metal
money, and the banks issue the paper
money Of the country, for then we can
better protect each other.
"To repeal the law creating national
bank notes, or TO restore TO circulation
the government issue Of paper money
will be to provide the people with
plenty of money, and that will, there
fore, seriously affect your individual
profits as bankers and lenders.

Policy"

Policy"
Republican Hessians and democratic
tories, the advocates Of the gold
standard in America, and champions
of the proposed Anglo-Ameriean
alliance, will find instructive and in
teresting information in the following
extract from the London Times, pub
lished at the close of the civil war in
1865:
''If that mischievous financial policy
which had its origin in the North
American republic during the war in
that country, should become indurated
down to a fixture, then that govern
ment will furnish its money without
cost. 1t will have all the money that
is necessary to carry on its trade and
commerce. 1t will become prosperous
beyond precedent in the history Of the
civilized nations Of the world. The
brain and wealth of all countries will

must be destroyed or 1t will destroy
every monarchy on this globe.n
THE FAMOUS HAZARD CIRCULAR.
Following is an extract from the
famous Hazard circular, issued il
London in 1862, to the capitalists Of
New York City;
"Slayery is likely to be abolished by
the war power, and chattel slavery
destroyed. This | and my European
friends are in favor of, for slavery Il
but the owning Of labor, and CARRIE

ling the wages. This can be- done b.
controlling the money. The great deb
that capitalists will see to it is mad,
out of the war, must be used as
means to control the volume OF money
! To accomplish this, the bonds must b.
used as a banking basis. We are nov
waiting for the secretary OF the treas
=. ury to make the recommendation t,
congress. 1t will not do to allow tn
Q %greenback, as it is called, to circulat
