to say word on this vital issue OF tho

headed by Theodore Roosevelt. wo;lid

The Republican party, the Republican

for the election of the Republican stlte

1.-The sound money allies of the Repub-

as they never worked before. The bus =

of citizens are determined that Col. Thep-
dore Roosevelt and his assistants on the
state ticket, and all other candidates for
office, who stand upon the sound money
principles laid down in st. Louis in 1896,
shall be elected, next Tuesday.
Col. Roosevelt's election and the eiec-

Should Annex Cuba
The record-union., 1898-07-16

to making Cuba free and placing the
Cubans in control. This condition may
lead to a consideration of the expedi-
ency of allowing the Cubans themselves
to establish an administration of San
tiago, thus giving them an opportunity
to try their ability at directing civil af-
fairs, and also giving them a foothoid
on the island. In that event General
Garcia, being on the ground, would,
doubtless, figure prominently in the ad-
ministration, although President Mas
50 and his Cabinet are said to be in the
adjoining province of Puerto Principe
and readily accessible at Santiago No
determination has been reached, so far
as can be learned. as to the form of ad-
ministration, for, until the surrender
itself is completed, the authorities here
are not disposed to settle the details
of questions which naturally follow the
surrender.
1t is felt, however. that an import
ant question of general policy hinges
on the action at Santiago, as it is the
first Cuban territory TO be acquired by
our army, and to some extent determin-
alton as TO it's method of civil admin

BRITISH ROASTING.
Our Officers Resent the idea That
We Employed Their Gunners.

WASHINGTON, July 15-With all
our disposition to be on friendly terms
with the British, our naval officers are
quick to resent the allegations made
to the effect that Dewey owed his mar
velous success at Manila to the en-
ployment of English gunners whom he
had engaged at fabulous wages at
Hongkong before he sailed for Manila.
Such a statement as this was made
by Cunningham Graham, an ex-mem-
Der of Parliament, in a communication
to some of the British newspapers,
which has aroused a good deal of dis
cussion. Captain Crownnshield the
Chief of the Navigation Bureau, is di-
rectly in charge of the personnel of the
called to his attention he very prompt
ly and positively said:
1--WE never have yet been called upon
to get Englishmen to teach US how to
shoot. An inspection of the muster
rolls of Dewey's squadron will convey
the amplest refutation of this charge,
and show how absolutely false it is.
Even later than the muster rolls are
the prize lists prepared for the use OF
the auditing officers of the Treasury
Department. and by comparison with
the muster rolls as the squadron was
originally formed, they show very
clearly that no Englishmen We're behind
the guns that sunk the Spanish ships
and silenced the forts at Cavite.'

A PRIVATE'S LETTER.
Statement That a Number of Spies
Have Been Shot

ST. LOUIS, July 15-John Sheehan
of the Sixteenth United States Infantry.
now at Santiago, has written an inter
esting letter to his parents in this city.
The letter which was dated June 2Sth,
says in part:
I'VE have caught about eighteen
spies and shot them. The Cubans are
out in front. They have been fur
nished with guns and provisions by the
United States. They are pretty
strong-about 1000 in number We
have cut a road and have all our pro-
visions on the camp grounds with us.
The other day six Spanish deserters
came over to us and surrendered. They
are held as prisoners.
I'VE now number about 25, ZOO. The
Spaniards have about 5000 half-fed
and sick men, while all our boys are
looking fine. Have not seen any of
the swamps or rainy season yet. Just
got word that the Ninth Cavalry has
caught nineteen Spanish signal corps
men with an outline of our camp on
paper.

CABINET IN SESSION.
Secretary Day Said That No Over
lures for Peace Had Come.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The Cabi-
net was in session almost two hours.
There were several dispatches laid be-
fore the Cabinet, but il was said that
none We're of any particular import
ance, save one from General Miles, who
wired details as to what was wanted
in the way of movement of troops here
and the shipment of horses and sup
plies.
The royal decree of suspension of in
dividual rights in Spain gave rise to
some discussion as to the outlook for
peace. Secretary Day, however, re-
ported there We're no OvertureS of any
kind so far as known to him. Detail
dispatches following up the announce
ment of the surrender were eagerly
awaited, but did not come.
Secretary Long was the only alb
sentee.
The subject of peace was not men
toned at the meeting and it can be
authoritatively stated that the Presi-
dent has not received any intimation
from any official, or even semi official
source, that Spain desired peace upon
any terms that could be entertained
by the United States. One prominent
member of the Cabinet said that Spain
was rapidly losing ground by not seek
ing to make terms, and added that
she seemed to have no ability to make
war, or capacity to make peace"
Nothing concerning the progress of
events at Santiago has been received
up to | o'clock, when the Cabinet meet
ing closed.

CAUSE OF DELAY.
Probably Arises From Difficulty Of
Surrendering Outside Garrisons.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-At 1:l5
this morning, when Adjutant General
Corbin left the War Department for his
home, he was yet without definite in
formation from General Shafter con-
corning the surrender of Santiago
In accordance with the decision ar
rived at in the conference with the
President he issued instructions to Cen
eral Shafter that nothing but an un-
conditional surrender by General ToraI
would be satisfactory to this Govern
ment. In view Of Skaters last dis
patch no fear is felt that the negotia-
tions for the surrender of the forces in
Santiago City will not be prosecuted to
a successful conclusion. General ToraI
it is known, at first insisted that his
men should be permitted to carry their
arms with them to Spain This con-
cession General Shafter declined to
grant. Toral has modified his demand
regarding the arms and has presented
petition that the arms taken from his
men be returned to Spain with the
troops. AS indicated in Secretary AL
gers statement above given, the peti-
tiOn has been denied by this Govern
ment
The unusual delay which has puzzled
the war officials is accounted for by the
difficulty which General Toral is hay-
ing in surrendering that part of the
force under his command which is not
in the city of Santiago General Shaf-
ter estimates that there are from t.
600 to $4,000 men in Santiago. and
nearly as many more in the province
outside the city. 1t is believed tina the
delay in negotiations is made necacc ar>,
in order to secure the surrender of the
outlying garrisons, some of which may
question Torai's authority to surrender
them without definite instructions to
that effect from Madrid
The record-union., 1898-07-16

as signal station and from this was
telegraphed to Admiral Sampson con-
firmation of the surrender.
This message was as unsatisfactory
as was the Hists to the officers of the
fleet, who were anxious to know the
terms of the surrender and other de-
tails, while the message simply set
forth the bare statement that the sur
render of Santiago had occurred.
The Iowa was ordered to steam west
to MORO Castle, evidently being sent
to watch the movement of the men
manning the shore batteries. General
Toral surrendered in the nick Of time,
for had the plans of to-day's battle
been carried out the city of Santiago
would have been torn to pieces before
night. The fleet had the exact range,
and although the city was about eight
miles away and hidden behind hills,
Commodore Schley said that shells
could be dropped in the heart Of the
town every two minutes for as long
time as General Shafter thought it
necessary. Aside from the work of the
fleet seven batteries of artillery We're in
position and so placed tina. their 3-inch
shells could have been hurled into the
town from all sides
The Spaniards, however, had made
careful preparations, and had even
erected barricades in the streets, readJ
to fight to the very last.
General Shafter and his officers con-
fidently expected the American loss 70
be heavy if the attempt had to be
made to capture the city by assault.
and elaborate hospital arrangements
were made in anticipation OF such an
occurrence, a large number Of tents
having been erected at Siboney since
the buildings there were burned.

PRIZES BROUGHT IN.
Several British Ships Caught Try
ing to Run the Blockade

KEY WEST, July lo.--(6: 50 D. m. y
Three prizes were brought in to-day.
The captures were effected with only
ordinary incident. The English built
steamer Grenow Castle, which for sew
eral years piled on the Cuban coast un-
der the Spanish flag, but on June Sth,
last, returned to her British register,
was taken by the Dixie, off Cape Cruz
last Thursday. She was bound from
Kingston, Jamaica, for Manzanillo with
a large cargo Of food supplies.
The crew of the Grenow Castle con-
sists of Captain Rust, six Spaniards
and four Jamaican negroes. The day
before the capture the Dixie took also
two schooners, the Three Bells and the
Pilgrim, both flying British flags, and
both bound from Monego Bay to Man
zanillo with cargoeS of food supplies.
The Three Bells was originally a Nova
Scotian boat She is of about I'D tons
and the Pilgrim of about % tons.
The British schooner E. p. Nickerson
was also among to-day's arrivals. She
was becalmed off Cape Cruz on June
Both, when the Hornet came alongside
and informed her commander that the
vessel was a prisoner. There was no
attempt at resistance.
The Nickerson has a negro Captain,
three seamen and a cook. Two social
ed passengers, who turned out TO be
agents for the cargo, were on board.
They are Avon Gouthard and Franl.
Berger and they vehemently protested
against the capture, declaring that as
British subjects they could and would
claim indemnity from the United States.
The vessels cargo was food, includ-
ing deck load of pigs, goats chickens,
-four, pork, potatoes and the like. She
was bound from Jamaica for Mama
milo.
The American auxiliary gunboat Un-
cas- towed in to-day a little Spanish
sloop, the Bella Yanez, taken off Car
denas. The sloop had no cargo and
when caught was close inshore. Four
of her crew of six jumped overheard
and got to land.
The gunbOat Castine brought in to-
day three Spaniards who had deserted
from a Spanish gunboat in Havana
harbor and put off to the blockading
fleet in a small boat.

sANTIAGO's STATUS.
It's Government Exciting Attention
Of the Administration,

WASHINGTON, July 15.-The politi-
cal status of Santiago it's method of
government and administration is now
receiving earnest attention from the
authorities here.
For the present it is expected the mill
itary authorities Will have charge of
affairs.
If the precedent Of Manila is follow
ed, in which case General Merritt was
sent as Military Governor, then a mill
tary official Will be designated to ad-
minister affairs at Santiago City and
thereabouts. But it is appreciated that
the conditions are quite different at
Santiago from those in Manila, as the
Government has disclaimed a purpose
to make territorial acquisition in Cuba,
and has directed it's efforts thus far
