The Rockland Opinion says of Dr. l.. W
Pendleton: Personally, he was a most esti-
mable and charming man. OF wide culture
and a pleasant, genial nature, with keen wit
and kindly manners, he was most agreeable
companion. and a true and honest man in
every relation of life. His patients were
his lifelong friends, Not only did he give
them all the advantage of his admirable
skill and profound knowledge, but he minis
tered to them as one might to dear friend,
inspired them with courage, and made the
sick-room or hospital ward bright and cheer
full. The writer of this is speaking from ex-
perience, and paying personal tribute that
he knows to be deserved"

Washington, July 26.-It was SAID at
the war department late yesterday
that no news can be expected from any
official source as to Gen, Miles move
ments until to-day at the earliest. II
is calculated that he arrived last even
inc at the point on the coast of Puerto
Rico selected as the rendezvous for all
the vessels of the expedition. Whether
or not he will undertake to make
landing in advance of the ARRIVAL OF
the whole expedition probably VIII de-
pend entirely upon conditions as he
finds them Should there be no Span
ish force or at least an incOnslderaDle
one on the coast the troops will be
landed to relieve them from the dis
astrous effects of being confined closely
on Shipboard under tropical sun.
The general has with him sufficient ar
tillery to hold any position he may
choose to occupy, supplemented as this
artillery will be by the guns of the
convoy. Meantime the department is
making every effort to hurry along The
remainder of the expedition. Some
troops
Are Now on Their Way
from Tampa and Charleston and
should reach Puerto Rico by the mid
die of the week Naval officials are as
ssting actively in getting the troops
off and were engaged in sending the
necessary orders to that end to the
commanders of the naval auxiliary YES
sells which have been placed at the
service of the war department. In the
course Of a day or two the troops
brought from Chickamauga by Gen.
Brooke will sail from Hampton Roads,
where they have been arriving and are
ready for the transports. There is
probability that Gen. Miles may be de-
layed for several days in his landing
operations for lack of lighters, but
several of these are now on their way
and others will be hurried forward as
rapidly as possible. However it may
be as to his speedy landing on Puerto
Rican soil, it will be we'll along toward
the end of this week before the active
land campaign can be begun in Puerto
Rico

Spanish Vessels

Scheme for Raising the sun1,en
Spanish Vessels.
Washington July 26.-Lieut. HobSon
came over from New York and had
long conference with Assistant Secra-
tary Allen, Capt. Bradford and several
other officers of the navy department
regarding the raising of the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon. The lieuten-
ant succeeded while in New York in ar
ranging with the Merritt & Chapman
Wrecking company for the execution
of the rlans he had prepared for say-
inc the vessels. The wreckers have
nromised to get together the p0ntooDs
air bags and compressed air apparatus
which will be required to lift and right
the vessels. and expect to start this
material for Santiago from New Yor;
on a fast vessel within three DAVIS
Lieut.. Hobson is confident that if the
work can be undertaken before Il cy-
clone sets il it will result successfully.
Secretary Long said that the lieutpn-
ants plan for raising the Colon seemed
entirely feasible. The proposed nlap
involves methods and appliances ont
side of those usually employed in
wrecking They necesSitate the use Of
air apparatus of various kinds in right
ing and raising the ship that rarely. if
ever before, have been used on vessels
of the size and weight of the Colon.
and, although there is some doubt Of
it's success, the navy department Of
ficials think the prize we'll worth the
experiment. Lieut.. Hobson will go to
Santiago to supervise the Wrecking
work.

ON THE MEND.
Condition of Troops at Santiago Is
Greatly Improved.

Washington, July 26.-Gen. Shafter
reported by cable that the condition Of
the troops at Santiago was rapidly inn
proving, and said he hoped i'll the
course of day or two 10 have them
all located in comfortable camps
where they may rest and recuperate
and where the sick may recover. He
is feeding 1000 of the Spanish pris-
oners of war. and although he has not

vet this deficiency is being made good,
and meanwhile their present condition
is no worse in this respect than was
their condition before the surrender,
The general makes no mention of the
alleged letter from Garcia to himself,
nor does he speak of any friction be-
tween them, whence the department
has come to doubt the authenticity OF
published stories on these subjects.

PROSPECTS FOR PEACE.
Greatly Improved During the Last
FOrty-eight Hours.

London, July 26.-The Madrid CORE
spCndent Of the Times says:
Peace prospects have greatly I'M
proved during the last forty-eight
hours The diplomatic exploitation OF
Duke Almodevar de Reyo, the foreign
minister, has been more practical than
was supposed, and it is now tolerably
certain that the governments efforts
are entering a new phase, which may
gradually lead to tangible results. The
precise nature of the change is secret,
but there is little doubt that it tends
to direct negotiations between Spain
and the United States, there being no
inclination to seek the mediation or
any neutral power The moment has
arrived when America, having reached
the parting Of the ways, must choose
between war with a specific object and
an indefinite war of conquest. The
present pause in hostilities is held to
prove that the United States is reluc-
tant to plunge into wider sphere OF
action, and it may be confidently pre-
dicted that, if direct negotiations are
opened without delay both countries
will find their views on the main point
the future of Cuba-far from irrecon-
ciliable. The growing dissensiOns be-
tween the Cuban insurgents and the
American authorities are Eoted here
with great satisfaction, and on all sides
/ hear it said: ''If we must lose Cuba
it is better that the island should be
annexed to America, because the
traitors would thereby be punished
and the enormous Spanish interests In
the island would be protected"
The French embassy at Washington
seems the most likely channel for open
negotiations and the semi-official state
ment that America intends to retain
Puerto Rico is regarded here as hint
to Spain to hurry up.

In an order to the army relative to
the health and efficiency of the SOL
diers, Gen. Miles says: "The history
of other armies has demonstrated that
in hot climate abstinence from the
use of intoxicating drinks is essential
to continued health and efficiency"
This precautionary advice of Gen.
Miles to officers and men of the army
might be needed with profit by civil
ians who mistakenly suppose that al
coholic beverages are beneficial in hot
weather. The truth is directly the con-
trary Other things being equal, he
endures hot weather best who is least
addicted to the use of intoxicating
liquors of any kind. The above re-
marks apply also to cold weather.

FRESH CORRESPONDENTS.
Gen. Shafter Throws Some Light on
the Grave Offenses Committed.

the Grave OffenSeS Committed.
Washington, July 26-In his report
to the war department relative to con-
ditions at Santiago Gen. Shafter has
thrown some light upon the difficulties
in which certain newspaper CORE
sp0ndents there have involved them
selves. From his report it would APP
pear that, animated by an ambition TO
take prominent part in the important
events following each other in rapid
succession at Santiago after the lntla-
ton of the negotiations for the sur
render of the city, a few Of the corre-
spondents were guilty of grave
breeches of military law, neceSsitat1ng
prompt corrective action by Gen.
Shafter Thus, for instance, one cor
respondent in his efforts to take part
in the flag raising over the city hall,
resisted the military officers in the eX-
ecution Of their duty, and even at
tempted personal assault on the COM
handing general This made him la
bic to summary aud severe punish
ment, even death, yet Gen. Shafter,
probably realizing that ignorance OF
military law was the explanation OF
the action, contented himself with eX-
polling that correspondent from CUBA
A more serious offense. from the fact
that it might have led to rioting and
disorders, was that of three other cor
respondents, who, it appears by Gen.
Skaters report, by melting intiamna-
tory posters, stirred up the town. Ihey
were likewise deported, and as. evil
dence that he has no Ill feeling toward
the paper represented by them, but de-
sires only to exercise such control as
is imperatively demanded in the inter-
est Of safety of our troops and protec-
ton of the people under their care,
Gen. Shafter has declared that these
correspondents may be imnle diately re-
placed by others from the same news
paper, who will observe the rules OF
prudence. No mention is made OF any
other cases requiring attention, ana IL
is indicated that the relations between
The newspaper men and the army of
ficers at Santiago are generally AMIGA

CHn


CaDtOrs.
New York, July 26. = Prisoners of
war cheering the flag of their captor
was the unusual sight witnessed at the
Union dock in Brooklyn. The sight
was all the more significant as the
cheers came from Spanish Threats.
The 254 prisoners captured on the four
prize steamers now in port were about
to sail for home under the British flag.
They were on board the Hesperia, Of
the Anchor line, and just as she backed
out of the dock, one of the patrol gun
boats came by. With one accord the
prisoners raised three mighty cheers,
which startled the people on the
Brooklyn shore and could be heard on
Governors island. 1t was the best
they could do in thanking Uncle Sam
for the kindness lavished on them
while they were prisoners.

Thirty-eight of the I'll members of
the graduating class of '98, at Princeton
university, have supported themselves
wholly or in part during their college
course. and probably twenty-five, pos
sibly twenty-six, have been entirely de-
pendent upon their own exertions for
money to meet the cost of their educa-
ton. A still larger number, perhaps
one-third Of the entire class, have re-
ceived assistance in the ways of schol-
arships. which means free tuition from
the funds at the disposal of the faculty
for this purpose. According to their
returns the average annual expenditure
of the members Of the class of '98 dur
ing their freshman year for all pur-
poses was $662 per capita, in the senior
wear s764. There are several very rich
men in the class, whose parents are
worth millions, and whose allowances
have practically been unlimited Their
extravagance has naturally raised the
average and more than offset the econ
omy of the thirty-eight who have been
paying their own expenses, but from all
I can learn it costs the average student
about $700 a year at Princeton, and he
can live very well on that money.
