MONTREAL, CANADA, Sept. my
attention has been called to an article
in the Globe Democrat Of August %,
printed the morning after / left st.

the objects OF my trip East was to
confer with MI. Croker, Senator Muir.
ply and Mayor Van Wyck, with a
view to devising some scheme to
"side-track free silver In Democratic
Platforms" and incidentally to "roll
Senator Jones" and to "stab MI.
Bryan in the back.n
1t is said in the article alluded to
that 1 would stop over ct Saratoga
and there meet Senator Murphy and
Mr.. Croker and that at that famous
summer resort I would meet the
aforesaid chiefs of Tammany and that
"Tammany money would be lavishly
expended in wining and dining me at

henchman;" and, by way Of . con-
trast, a picture 10 drawn of my friend,
Mr.. Bland, "resting quietly and
philosophizing in his county home at
Lebanon, where he can hear the tinkle
of cowbells and the lowing Of the

That such rot as this should appesr
in a Republican journal IL not sur
prising, and if I believed that 1t sprang
alone from the inventive imagination
of the Globe Democrat reporter who
penciled it, I would not notice it, bili

From the official report of Admiral
Montejo, commanding the Spanish
feet sunk at Manila, there were 1875
persons on board the ships under his
command. The Spanish feet was of
inferior force to the American squad
ron and Rear Admiral Dewey's men
will therefore get only 800 for each
person.

suit of the destruction OF the Spanish
force, amounts to s1s7 500, which Con-
gress will be asked to appropriate
during the coming session. One
twentieth of this sum belongs to Rear
Amiral Dewey as commandments,
and he will therefore be S9,375 richer
than he was before the war.
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized
. snug little fortune as a result OF the
war. As commander-in-chie of the
North Atlantic squadron he will get
one-twentieth of every prize taken in
North Atlantic waters and one
twentieth of the head money allowed
for the vessels destroyed at Santiago
and Cuban ports. It is estimated that
he will finally get about %, 900 as his
share of prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due officers and men 1t will be
necessary for the department to de-
eide whether q vessel destroyed was
inferior or superior to her antagonist.
II the latter the American ships Will
be entitled to $500 per head of persons
on board the epemy's ship. OF course
this will swell the amount of money
due the Rear Admiral. It is expected
that including the Mercedes, sunk by
the Massachusetts at the mouth of the
harbor at Santiago, were 2,4s2 persons
on board the Spanish feet destroyed
by Rear Admiral Sampson's com
mand, which was superior to the en-
envy, and the amount Of head money
due the feet will consequently ag-
gregate S24s 200. ss <as.l
Besides these ships several Spanish
men-of-war were sunk at Manzanillo,
Nipe and other points along the Cuban
coast, the destruction of each of which
means prize money for the officers
and men of the ships participating in
the work. a ~ .s ...-uuE
The legal officers of the department
will be required to determine whether
the merchant vessels carrying guns In
their hold, like the Santo Domingo,
which was sunk by the Eagle, come
within the meaning of the section
providing for the payment of bounties
for persons on board. The result of
these questions will be to delay the
adjudication of the amounts due to
officers and men interested. ,ss 5re#
The Navy Department was notified

sequently withdrawn by Judge Locke.

to establish the school it is vastly
moro 90 to the welfare of Mexico that
the Academy be erected at the earliest
possible moment. We should lose no

"Our soldiers and sailors have
spread the fame of our prowess in

ceal the disgraceful fact that, with an

grossest incompetency, or something
worse, our brave soldiers were starved
like so many rats in holes and the sick
and wounded heroes left to perish In
poorly provided hospitals for want OF

Congress was generous may

COL. BRYAN TO RETURN.
If the Silver Regiment Is Not Muster
ed Out MI. Bryan VIII Resign
His Command.

LINCOLN, NEB., Sept. 4.-Gov. Hol-
comb wired the War Department with
reference to having something done
to the Third Nebraska regiment, bet
ter known as the Silver Battalion.
There Is much alarm in the state over
the condition of Colonel Bryan's
regiment. There have been in three
weeks an increase In the sick list from
A to 147. There have been three
deaths, and all together the members
of the families represented by the
Third are very much alarmed.
Governor Holcomb asks the Secre-
tsry of War to give all the Third re-
cruits who desire to come home an
honorable discharge, since there can
be nothing more to do but garrison
duty. Colonel Bryan, too, wants to
get back and take part in the fall cam
paign. He wires that he does not
want to resign II his regiment can be
mustered out at once, but otherwise
he will resign, as there is no further
need of his presence In the army.
Bryan wires to Gov. Holcomb each
day q report of the condition of the
Third Regiment. Many members Of
the company are writing letters to
their friends here. They all declare
that they want to be sent to Cuba to
do garrison duty in preference to re-
naming in camp much longer. The
men are gstting worse daily and many
of the strongest soldiers in the regi-
ment are now unable to get around
because of the enervating effect of
the disease to which they are SUBJ
jected. @@AEa ~
Gov. Holcomb proposes to demand
in vigorous terms q change of some
kind for the Third. He declares that
they must either be mustered ont or
to a more healthful climate
at once before all the men die. AL
over the state there Is q demand that
the boys be sent home, and the fusion
forces are loud in their declaration
that Colonel Bryan be sent home that
he may take part in the campaign
that is now approaching.
