see introduced In the House bill pro-
viding for the organization of colored
troops to the extent of 25,OOO, and to
support the bill, Secretary Alger sent
q communication to Congress. In his
communication the secretary said:
I'm view Of the special adaptability
of clored troops for service under the
conditions of n tropical climate, the
passage of this bill is regarded as very
important to successful military Oper-
atoms in the war in which we are now
engaged"
The colored troops will be used
largely, according to the present plan,
for garrison duty In Cuba, Porto Rico
and In the Philippines after the war
is over 1t Is anticipated by the Pres
ident and by Secretary Alger that as
soon as the active fighting has ceased
the state volunteers will be impatient
to return home and re-enter the pur-
suits which they abandoned for the
field of war. AS large garrisons will
be needed in Cuba, Porto Rico and ule
Philippines, not to speak Of Hawaii,
the President would not be able to see
his way to dsbanding the volunteer
forces from the different states unless
some other adequate force was pro-
vided for garrison duty. 1t Is the In
tention to keep the immune regiments
and the colOred regiments which will
be organized In this service for this
purpose.

Value of tho Ch.nese Market.

Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania hns
moved, as an amendment to the gen
eral deficiency bill, an appropriation
of $4,000 to carry out the recon-
mendations of the secretary of state
concerning commercial commission
to China. Both France and Germany
have sent commissions of merchants
and manufacturers to the east for the
purpose of studying the markets and
reporting upon their requirements.
The French report was so valuable
that the government decided to- sup
press 1t and furnish the information II
contained only to responsible mer-
chants and manufacturers, and then
only such portions as related to their
own line of business. This precnu-
ton was taken In order to prevent for
eign traders from taking advantage
of the suggestions reported by the
commission.

DEWEY STILL WAITING.
First Force of Troops Not EnouEh-Span
iards In BAD Condition.

Manila, Via Hong Kong, July 7.-Ac-
five operations against Manila have
been deferred until an army of troops
is ready to cooperate with the squad
ron.
Nothing is lost by the delay, as the
situation In the city is critical. Food
is very scarce and the Spanish soldiers
are unfed and unpaid. The insurgents
have just captured the strong outpost
of San Juan del Monte; also the San
Tolan water works.
The Spaniards fear the water will
be poisoned. Aguinaldo has issued n
new manifesto calling on the natives
to form an Independent government,
not mentioning America In any way,
but his attitude is friendly.
General Anderson's headquarters are
Mt Cavite navy yard, where all the
troops are Quartered.
The first battalion of Oregon volun-
teers were the first landed. The natives
are greatly excited and cordially wei
come the Americans. All the men in
the fleet and the army are well. The
Fourth of July was celebrated by fir
ing snlutes and n review. The Ger
man squadron's movements are Still
suspicious.

ARE MAD AT MR.. LONG.
NEW ENoLANDERs HARD TO
SUIT.
Thcy Asked for warships and Got Thom
and Now Their Summer Boarders Arc
Scared Away.

Secretary Long is having bit of ex-
perience with mn ungrateful republic.
He Is learning the truth of what Chris
topher Columbus wrote to the bank of
st. George when the poor old man lay
dying in the convent of Las Cuevas,
near Seville. Said he: ITO serve the
people " serving no one" Early In
the war, as will be remembered, the
good people of New England got
frightened. They kept seeing things
Mt night. They imagined that every
vessel in the Spanish navy was headed
for their harbors and every time they
heard II gun go OF they had "con-
niptlon tit" They took their tin boxes
out of the safe deposit vaults in Bos-
ton. Portsmouth, Portland and other
cities along the coast and carried them
far into the interior, beyond the reach
OF Spanish plunderers. One time when
the auxiliary cruiser Yankee went out
beyond Cape Cod to try her guns ev-
erybody thought the Spanish had come
for sure. and 1t took several days to re-
cover from the fright. The secretary
of the navy sent the Minneapolis, the
Columbia. the Snn Francisco, the Ka-
tahdin, the Prairie, the Yankee and
half II dozen more cruisers and gun
boats up there to patrol the coast, In
order to calm the fears Of the people,
although he knew there was not the
slightest danger and that there was
not Spanish vessel within 1000
miles.
BY keeping up clamor the fright
ened Yankees got the ships, but they
scared away the summer bOarders.
People said that II there was sufficient
danger to Justify the maintenance of
II fleet of men-of-war to protect the
coast they would not take the risk OF
sorts, and thus very few cottages have
been rented and very few persons
have engaged rooms at the hotels. Nat
urnlly this has made the thrifty Yam
KEGS mad. and they are now laying the
blame on Secretary Long. They accuse
him of OVERRIDING the matter, like the
preacher who prayed for rain and
brought on cloudburst. They demand
tha, he shall call the ships away, be-
cause they frighten summer borders,
and he has done SO, but they fear 1t Is
now too late. 1t will be an unprofit-
able season on the New Finland cOnst,
and the hotel keepers, the cottage own
ers, the laundry women, the fish
mongers, the bathing house keepers,
the liverymen, the blueberry pickers,
the college students who wait on the
tables at the hotels and the farmers
who take summer company" all
threaten to vote against the Republican
ticket ut the next election.-ChicagO

SIMPSONS OBSTACLES.
He VIII Run Great Risks In Trying to
Enter Santiago Harbor.

Denver. July IA New York dis
patch to the Republican from the Her
AIDS correspondent off Santiago says:
Captain Chadwick of the flagship
New York, representing Admiral
Sampson, visited General Shafter Mt
his headquarters before Santiago yes
terday. They discussed plans for n
joint attack on Santiago by land and
naval forces.
The truce between the two armies
has been continued until tomorrow,
but fighting may soon be resumed, as
the American and Spanish forces now
are only 20 yards apart on San Juan
hill
Captain Chadwick explained to Cen
eral Shafter that Admiral Sampson
could not send boats into the harbor to
remove the mines, because there are
5000 Spanish rifemen stationed behind
the hills near the beach. He also re-
minded the American general that the
enemy, with the guns of Morro, would
be able to get the range of any boats
that might be used in the work of free
ing the outer harbor of mines.
General Shafter's last message from
the Spanish commander was to the eff
feet that the city would never be sur
rendered.
Admiral Cervera, Captain Eulate and
the other officers of the destroyed
Spanish fleet We're sent north to-day on
the st. Louis. Before leaving for the
North the officers on Cervera's staff
practically admitted that the Spanish
admiral had been forced to leave San
tiago harbor. The Spanish prisoners
also say they had as much fear OF the
people in Santiago as of the Ameri-
cans.
One thousand of the prisoners from
Cervera's fleet will be sent North to-
morrow on the Harvard under n strong
guard. Admiral Sampson is determined
to keep the prisoners in subjection, and
has taken extra precautions to prevent
repetition of the mutiny that took
place aboard the Harvard on Monday
night. learn that fifteen Spaniards
We're wounded in that riot.
Half of the guns on Cervera's YES
sells are found TO be in good condition,
and some of them are being removed
to the American fleet.
Holes several feet in diameter were
made in the side of the Almirante
Oqucndo and the Infanta Maria Teresa
by the American shells. The super
structure of both vessels were COM
plctely wrecked. Empty brandy bot
ties were found In the turrets.
The ship sunk by the Spaniards near
the entrance of the Santiago harbor
now is said TO be the Alfonso MIL, in
Sead of the Reina Mercedes. The ves-
sci was manned by skeleton crew,
who jumped overheard after running
the ship ashore. The vessel does not
block the harbor.
