THE PHILIPPINES
AND THE POWERS,
Special to EVENING HERALD.

London, July ga despatch to the Daily
News from Berlin says that the powers, with
the exception of Great Britain, have arrived
at an agreement, though only in negative
terms, regarding the future of the Philip.
pines. They concur that they will not allow
the islands to be annexed by the United
States, and will not consent to an Anglo
American protectorate, which is believed to
be cherished in influential quarters in Wash
ington.
The Birmingham Post asserts that despite
denials there is no good reason for saying
hat Germany very recently made overtures
to Spain for a naval depot and coaling station
in the Philippines. German officers of the
London Embassy believed that such an ar
mngement is quite feasible.

GARCIA DENIES
WRITING THE LETTER
Special to EVENING HERALD.

special To EVENING HERALD.
Santiago, July 23.-The famous letter pur-
porting to have been written by Gen. Garcia
to Gen. shafter, in which the former stated
his intentions of withdrawing his troops and
to hereafter act independent of the Ameri-
cans, was not written by Gen. Garcia. This
important information reached the American
commanders to-day.
1t was also learned that Gen. Garcia not
only did not write the now famous letter
but he never saw it nor knew nothing of its
contents.
The letter was written by Gen. Costello.
the Cuban whom the insurgents had selected
as the military governor of Santiago.
The evening herald. [volume] (Shenandoah, Pa.) 1891-1966, 1898-07-23

Washington, July 23.-No official confrma.
ton has been received here of the report that
Gen. Garcia attacked Spanish soldiers on
their way to Santiago to surrender. Such
action is foreign to the usages of civilized
warfare, and would place the insurgents be-
You'd the pale Of recognition.
If General Garcia has taken any such
action he has greatly damaged his cause and
hat of all the Cubans in the eyes of the ad-
ministration, and has justified General
Shafter in neglecting to consult him as to the
surrender of Santiago.
In the absence of official information re.
garding this attack on the Spanish troops the
administration has been disposed to believe
that General Shafter had MAJ a mistake in
his dealings with the Cuban general.

R REPORTED
DEFEATED BY
THE SPANIARDS,
Special to EVENING HERALD.

Santiago, July 23.-It is reported here that
four thousand Cuban insurgents, under Gen.
Garcia, were badly routed by a detachment
of Spanish troops bound for Santiago to sur
render to Gen. Shafter, under the terms
agreed to by Gen. Toral.
The report, brought by Cubans to the city,
gives the result as ~forty-one Cubans killed
and as many more wounded. The Spanish
loss was much smaller. The battle occurred
on the road between Santiago and Holguin,
and there were at least 5000 Spaniards in
the body. They were not looking for fight
and were caught OFT their guard when the
Cubans attacked them from ambush.
Gen. Garcia's plans were, when he left
Santiago greatly put out because his troops
were allowed to take no part in the sur.
render of this city, to move on to
Holguin, about sixty miles northwest, storm
that place, take possession, and to set up an
insurgent government, making that place
the Cuban headquarters.

An opinion was filed yesterday by Judge
Lyons, Of Juniata county, granting a new
trial in the suit for damages brought bv
Arthur William Oster by his next friend
samuel Oster VS.. the ~Schuylkill Traction
Company. The plaintiff was awarded g. ooo
damages for injuries received by being struck
by a car. The court says there is no evidence
on the part of the plaintiff that the car was
run at a high rate of speed but the motormau
ana conductor say it was moving at from six
to eight miles an hour, The testimony shows
the boy was a safe distance away, but waited
uhtlI the car was up to him, when he at
tempted to cross. He was struck Immediately
after reaching the track. The plaintiff must
establish that the defendant was negligent.
which he failed to do. The court saws
therefore, that it erred in refusing tho
defendants third point-directing a verdict
for the defendant. Therefore the verdict is
set aside and a new trial granted.

POLITICAL POINTS.

The Mahanoy City Tribune, in speaking
OF Mark Bowman, whose card appears In an.
other column, says Mark Bowman. a lit,
long resident Of the town, is seeking the
nomination for County Surveyor. As to be.
ing capable we can safely say it will be a
difficult task to find one who could perform
the duties with more exactness, as his long
experience has taught him the full meaning
Of the phrase, whatever you do,do it right
He will be 4 strong candidate if nominated. %
Fuller Henderson,, of Plymouth, was pre-.
vented from making a speech in behalf Of
his candidacy for the Legislature. His op-
ponents filled the opera house with pepper
and the audience began to sneeze.
SO. Middleton, who is a candidate for re-
nomination for Poor Director, circulated
among local politicians this afternoon.
There are three candidates for the Legisla-
tive nomination in this district, and each is
making an active canvass. They are r.
Yost, Of town; w. II. Brown, Of Lanigans.
and DR.. H.. G. Roitzei, Mahanoy CITY.
II Is rumOrcd at the county seat that
Brumm will be a candidate for Judge. in
order to get ovcn' with Judge Koch. We
place no credence in the rumor, although the
Gar is likely to be "a candidate for almost
anything this year.
The Republican politicians are WONDERING
when the county convention will be called
and Chairman Shay is being besieped Inv tbc
anxious ones. There is no good reason why
it should be called earlier than the last week
IN August, and especially 50 since most of
the candidates favor a short and spirited cam
paign.
