Mr.. Swanson, of the Royalton
Banner, wants Buchanan nomi-
mated for senator because his
candidacy will strengthen the
county ticket" As Swanson al
ways supports part Of the Demo.
cratic county ticket and part of
the Republican county ticket it is
plain why he does not designate
the county ticket that Buckman's
candidacy will strengthen. It is
pro Fable that the Swanso county
ticket that will be strengthened.
And just what Democrats or what
Republicans Swanson will support
this year is unknown. 1t is just
this boiling and trading that the
Transcript protests against.
Better nominate a candidate for
senator who will actively support
the straight Republican county
ticket. Better be in liue with the
Transcript that supports the Re
publican county ticket, than with
the Banner that always slashes
part Of the Republican county
ticket.

Washington, Aug. 3.-An effort vii
be made by the war department to as
certain the official at Skaters head
quarters who is responsible for dis
patching to the United States trans
ports loaded with soldiers and which
are alleged to be unfit for the work ia
which they are put. With this end In
view Surgeon General Sternberg has
sent the following dispatch to Major
Hazard, the chief surgeon with Shat
ter's army:
1.-THE management of the medical de-
partment at Santiago Is severely critl-
cised. Sick and convalescents sent on
quartermaster's transports are said to
be overcrowded, not properly supplied
with medicines, medical attendance or
with suitable light diet Who is re-
sponsible? Report in full and take
measures to prevent similar occur
rences in future"
AT the same time rigid investigation
is to be made OF the charges by the Red
Cross officials and others concerning the
unfitness of the transport Concho, which
reached New York several days ago.
Secretary Alger has taken much inter-
est in this matter, following so soon the
case of the Seneca, which about ten
days since took to New York large
number of sick and wounded and which
vessel also was said to be unsuitable.
The investigation will be made by Colo
mel c. H. Heyl of the inspector gener-
ais office.
General Sternberg feels that injustice
Is done the officers of the department
in the criticisms of the use made of
the transports in bringing the sick
and wounded north and in the prepara-
tons for the journey. AS matter OF
fact, he said, he did not know that the
Concho was to be used for temporary
hospital ship, the first intimation of
that character being received when a
telegram reached him announcing the
arrival of the vessel at Norfolk. The
loading Of the ship with supplies, in
Guiding ice, other than Of a medical
character does not come under the SUI
pervsion Of his bureau, and his officers,
he says. should not be charged with any
derelictions of that character.

Cabinet Officer Thinks Spain Will Ac-

New York, Aug. ga cabinet officer
said that he did not expect Spain's an
sWer within the next few hours. Judg-
Ing from the dispatches from Madrid,
an early peace. While the Spanish min
istry did not arrive at any conclusion
at their meeting Monday, the cabinet
officer said that, in his opinion, the re-
ported decision to ask for a further ex-
PLANTATION of a certain point in the terms
must be considered as favorable sign
The United States cabinet Ialf expected
Spain to make a counter proposition,
but as she did not conclude to do this,
but simply asks for more light on GER
tain point, it was clear intimation
that she was about to accept in "a rea-
sonable time" our terms.
"Of course" said the cabinet officer,
this request for further explanation is
only another excuse for delay, but it
cannot be taken to mean procrastina-
ton No one expected Spain to accept
absolutely and at once the presidents
terms of peace. That she seems to hes
itate on one point only, if the dispatches
are correct. seems somewhat remark
able, and while there may be a delay Of
a day or two in giving a further eX-
PLANTATION on the particular point de-
sired, in my opinion, if this is the only
difference, an early agreement can be
easily reached"

Washington, Aug. BIT has been ad-
mitted at last by members of the ad-
ministration that the terms of peace
laid down by the United States had
been practically stated with accuracy
in the press dispatches, and realizing
the futility of further concealment. some
official character was to be given to the
press statements by formal declaration
from the White House. Some such step
had been in contemplation for several
days past in Difference to pressing re-

1t Is understood to be the present in
tention of the administration to assume
liability for all the indebted claims pre-
terred by American citizens against

rms assumption by the victorious ma
tlon OF liability for private claims is NOT
new IN the arrangement of peace CON
dltions; but, on the contrary. is rather
IN the line of the usual practice. At the
conclusion of the Mexican war the Init
ed States assumed all such claims in be-
