The Postmaster General has received,
through the Secretary of the Treasury, q
suggestion from prominent New York
banker that the government issue a new
stamp to be known a patriotic or spe-
cial set, on the following lines: A IO-cenl
stamp, Of which cent would be for post
age and the other cents voluntary gift
by the purchaser for a warship fund and
in like proportion other stamps ub TO the
denomination of 81 Not only would thou
sands of stamp collectors purchase these
stamps. but hundreds of thousands of pa
triotic Americans, he says, would be glad
of such an opportunity TO ACQUIRE such
souvenirs, coupled with the thought that
they had financially assisted In the pur-
chase of a warship. The stamps, he sue-
gests, should bear designs representing
Dewey's victory at Manila. Schley's an.
nihilation of Cervera's fleet and other not

OPPOSING THE AWARD.
Objection to Spanish Vessels Carry
ing the Prisoners Home.

The letter sent by a New York attorney
to Secretary Alger protesting against the
award of the contract for carrying the
Spanish prisoners from Santiago to Spain
has not reached that official up to noon to-
day. All that has been received has been
the telegram from Attorney Robert L. STAN
ton to the Secretary, notifying him that he
had been instructed to begin proceedings
to enjoin the award Of the contract to the
Spanish company on the ground that it was
against public policy and good. Pending the
receipt of the letter, Col. Hecker, who ne
gotiated the contract, declines to make any
statement for publication One of the bid
ders for transporting the men was Joseph
l.. st. Johns, representing syndicate of
manufacturers and United States contrac-
tors. who offered TO ship the officers at
s3T.31 per capita and the men at s24ST per
capita.
According to Col. Hecker's unofficial in
formation Mr.. ST. John is one of those who
desires that proceedings be instituted to
enjoin the execution of the contract. This
was quite surprising to the colonel, as Mr..
st. John had sent him a letter saying that
he (St. john was happy to learn that the
contract had been placed advantageously
to our government and suggesting that if
he could be of any service that he be called
on, there were vessels at his command.
Hecker asked him to come to Washington
for consultation regarding it, but it appears
that Mr.. St. John did not receive the tele-
gram in time to be of any service to him.

GARCIA's WITHDRAWAL.
His Letter to Shafter Has Not Reach
ed the War Department.

1t is stated positively at the War Depart
nent today that the letter which Gen.
Garcia is represented to have addressed TO
Gen. Shafter, announcing his withdrawal
from further cooperation with the Ameri-
can troops. has not yet reached the War
Department. The officials are inclined to
believe that if the letter really exists, and
of that they have little doubt it will reach
Washington only through the mails from
Santiago. So far no mail report of any
character has come from Gen Shafter
since his landing in Cuba, TO the great dis
appointment OF the officials, who are look
ing anXiously fer detailed accounts of GER
tain events in the progress of the cam
paign that were only obscurely outlined by
Gen. Shafter. 1t was hoped that the ST.
Paul, which arrived yesterday at New
York, would bring along a lot of mail, but
she did not do SO, probably from fear of
yellow fever
The only word that has come from Gen.
Shafter over night was the statement that
Gen. Dufheid left Santiago for home yes
terday, and that Gen. Corbin'S son, who
was reported to be better, would leave for
home as soon as he could be transported
safely. He and Gen. Duffield are said to
have suffered the only two pronounced
cases of yellow fever in the American
camp.
No word has reached the department
from any official source relative to the re-
ported attack by Garcia's Cubans upon the
body of Spanish soldiers who were march
ing Into Santiago to surrender to Gen.
Shafter. In the absence of a reliable re-
port on this occurrence which, If true NAV
be fraught With the gravest consequences
and affect Immediately the attitude of the
United States government toward the
Cubans, there is notable disposition to re-
fuse to discuss the matter at the War De-
pdrtment.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE
The Naval War Board Discusses the
Situation.
MORE WORK OUTLINED FOR TEE NAVY
Lieut.. Thomas Tells the President
About the First Fight.
LIEUT.. HOBSON'S PROMOTION

The White House looked almost deserted
today. Official callers were few. and the
President was not rushed, as has been
the case every day for so many months.
One of the noted visitors who was warm
ly received was First Lieut.. ohm R.
Thomas, the brave young officer severely
wounded in the fight in which Capt. Cap
ron was killed and while commanding the
company which Capt. CaDron had so gal
lantly led. Lieut.. Thomas is still looking
pale and walks with the aid of crutches
He was taken to the Presidents room by
the elevator in the private part Of the
house
Lieut.. Thomas, who was accompanied by
his father, Gov. Thomas, vas asked lnany
questions by the President. and gave a
detailed account of the first bloody fight
with the SDaniards on Cuban soil
Representatives Hit. Hepburn and Clio
son of Tennessee were among the other
callers Representative Hit will leave for
Chicago in q few days TO prepare for the
journey to Hawaii as one of the Hawaiian
commissioners.
More Work for the Navy.
Secretary Long and the members of the
naval war board were at the White House
nearly two hours today, discussing, the
Secretary said, the general situation as
far as the navy is concerned" This con-
ference was necessary, the Secretary said,
"as the navy has practically finished its
work for the present, with the exception of
the sailing of the squadron of Commodore
Watson" The Secretary then stated that
the squadron to go to Spain will sail when
the President sees fit. The Secretary spoke
as If it might be a good while before the
squadron Will get away.
Secretary Long said that he did not have
any news from Manila He expects the
Monterey to reach Manila about the Sd or
4th of August, and thinks the Monadnoch
will arrive about a week after.
Beyond the bombardment of San Juan
ana the sailing of Watson's squadron the
navy, as Secretary Long said, will be with
out serious work until the Havana cam
paign hegins. Maintaining the blockade is
an easy and unexciting task. This is done
chiefly by auxiliary vessels, leaving the
fighting machines with no prospect of
work. Under these circumstances 1t is
thought that the Secretary and President
are planning fresh work for the navy
What hese plans are may not come out
for several days.
Lieut.. Hobson's Promotion.
President Mckinley and Secretary Long
have not reached decision about the pro-
motion of Lieut.. Hobson, and did not men,
tion the matter to the young officer yester-
day.
They take it for granted that Lieut. Hob
son desires to be transferred to the line Of
the navy. as stated some time ago by mem
bers of his family. This will require a spe-
cial act of Congress, postponing the pro-
motion until next winter If Lieut. Hob
son desires to remain on the staff of the
navy his promotion can be made at once by
Secretary Long.
Lieut.. Hobson will return to the city in a
few days and may then announce his pref
er5nce.
