The AwfuIness Of War

Here Is an awful description of the
horrors Of war. taken from James
Creelman's description OF he bat
tie OF Ell Caney: Il jumped over the
strands and got in the trench. 1t was
a horrible, blood -splashed thing, an
inferno of agony. Men lay dead while
others, with teeth cleaning and hands
clutched at their throat, were crawl
ing there alive. / shouted to them TO
surrender. They held up their hands.
/ ran into the fort and found there a
Spanish officer and four men alive.
Seven lay dead in one room. The
whole floor ran with blood. The walls
were splashed with blood. Three poor
wretches put their hands together In
su~pplication. One had a white n
kerchief tied on a stick which he lift
ed and moved toward me. 1t was a
perfect hogpen Of butchery."

To Protect Our Troops Against Fever.

Washington, July depending the
settlement of the details of the capt.
ulatiOn at Santiago the war depart
ment officials are giving the major
portion of their attention to the adop-
ton of strict measures for the pro-
lection of our troops from yellow fe-
yer and from low tropical fevers. The
department has decided to remove the
troops at Santiago at the earliest pos
sible moment to the country in the
rear. Adjutant General Corbin said
today that within five miles of Santi-
ago proper the conditions were as
nearly ideal as obtainable in the trop-
les for stamping out the fever. High
hills ensured we'll drained camps. a
most important element in the pres
~ervation of health. The water supply
coming from the mountains was pure
and abundant, and fresh sea breezes
prevailed. While the main body of
troops is to be transferred back to
these hills until they are needed for
service elsewhere or are returned to
the United States, some troops neces-
sarily will be placed either in the town
itself or in camps commanding the
place in order to protect the inhabi-
tants. 1t is believed that the two reg
iments of immunes already on their
way to Santiago will be assigned to
that duty.
It is the present intention of the au-
thOrities to maintain a military gov
| eminent at Santiago regardless of
! hints from Cuban sources that they
| are prepared to undertake the ad-
| miniStra there.

Peace Assured

London, July 1.-THE Madrid CORE
spondent of The Sunday Times says:
Despite official denials and prepara-
tions for a continuance of fighting, I
have the best authority saying peace
is assured. Beyond doubt the points
have been agreed upon with the Wash
ingtOn authorities. 1t is understood
that Spain will ~evacuat Cuba, the
Americans undertaking to transport
the troops to Spain.
Spain through the Mexican minister
has represented to America that che
is firmly decided on peace, at the same
time explaining the difficulties arising
from the opposition of Cuban volun-
teers and SPANS total exhaustion
through her enormous losses.
The political situation is most criti-
cal, owing to agitation in the principal
towns.

Steamer Northampton Burned

Norfolk, Va, July 1.-THE Steamer
Northampton was burned at 4:45
this morning at the Old Dominion
pier. How the fire originated is a
mystery, as the fires were carefully
banked "a night. There were a num-
Der of narrow escapes By employees
asleep on board. Everything on board
was lost.
The Peekskill. anchored near, was
slightly damaged by the intense heat
from the burning vessel. The North

and valued at SIS. 900, pretty well COW

Of Her Naval Commanders n

ton of the Chinese on his WarShfps.

Washington, July 1.-THE attitude
assumed by the German naval COM
manders in the Philippines is. with
out doubt, a source Of annoyance and
apprehension to Jul government The
spirit Of q~uibbling as between the in
surgent forces in the Philippines, at
tributed 10 the German government
by its own papers, is far from salts
factory TO a government like ours, &C
customed 70 deal fairly, frankly and
openly in international issues, in
stead Of adopting underhand courses.
Stlll, our government Is satisfied that
its interests are safe in the hands OF
Admiral Dewey and is adhering to its
original intention of allowing him a
free hand to deal with the situation.
Until he himself asks for action on the
part Of the government it is not the
purpose TO make any representations
on the subject Of the Philippines to
the German government.
Admiral Dewey's recent mail COM
munication TO the nav department
has given the most generous recogni-
ton to all those who participated in
any way on board Of the American
ships during the battle of Manila, in
GLIDING a specific recommendation as
to the Chinese who are serving in
various minor capacities. This recon-
mendation effecting a matter Of citi-
Zenship, was turned over by the navy
to the state department where the
following statement was made today:
I'm further proof of the nobility of
character of Admiral Dewey is his
recommendation to the United States
government of the Chinese servants
and other Chinese who were on the
ships of his squadron during the bat
tie at Manila, and who rendered most
efficient service on the occasion and
behaved in a most exemplary man
ner. He seems to think that men who
have battled for u country should
| not be excluded from it. In referring
to these Chinese he say that they
showed such courage and energy in the
face of the enemy that they are GER
tainly worthy the treatment accorded
| citizens of other countries h have
not exposed their lives for the coun-
try in which they seek civilization.
| He is decidedly in favor Of recogniZ-
| ing those brave and useful Chinese in
| such a way as shall admit them to the
| United States in case they desire to
| enter it and become citizens Of it."

The condition OF Santiago is said to

among the Spanish soldiers, due to bad
and insufficient food and there are

Shortly after midnight, General

The members and Board met last
Friday night to perfect plans for the
purpose OF raising money to pay off all
indebtedness upon the Associa-
ton which is about $l700. This is a
small sum considering the many re-
suits for good which have been accom-
plished by the Assc citation.
To-day there are seven young men
to whom we can point who have been
encouraged by this work and who are
destined to be OF great help to their

boys. Who can ever forget the boy

The arrangements for President and
Mrs. McKinley's trip to the Omaha
Exposition was sadly interfered with
by the killing of Mrs. McKinleY's
brother, at Canton. Ohio. The Presi-
dent and Mrs. Kinley left Washington
Saturday night &c attend the funeral,
after which the President will join the
party and proceed to Omaha, in sc
cordance with the original program.
1t is probable that Mrs. Mckinley will
remain at Canton. although she may
decide to accompany the President.
FREE ADMISSION TO CUBAN PORTS.
Before leaving Washington, Presi-
dent Mckinley signed an order author
izing the free admission to all Cuban
ports, in possession OF the u. s. of oxen
for work purposes, animals for breed
ing and for food supplies, plows. and
all agricultural implements, exc Hpt
machinery. This order, as yet, APP
plies to only few ports, but it wiiap-
ply to all Cuban ports very shortly,
as the Spaniards are to be hurried out
of Havana and the other ports they
still control. The order is intended TO
help the Cubans by an immediate re-
sumption OF agriculture.
Advices received by the War De.
partment say that the Indian uprising
in Minnesota is under control aud thai
no further trouble is anticipated.
