In his second letter Esterhazy said: "I am

y ANTIAGO DE CUBA, Aug. %
Five men are dead and ten
wounded as a result OF a fight
~ last night between gendarmes
and disappointed Cuban soldiers
at CeuVitas, three miles from San
tiago, where the payment Of the Cuban
troops is progressing. Five thousand
Cubans had gathered there to receive
pay, and after three days only $50 had
been paid Thousands who had been
disappointed at other points had come
to Ceuvitas as the last place of pay
ment in the province.
The imperfect list causes great dis
satisfaction. and rumor circulated
yesterday that the paymasters would
leave to-day alarmed the men who had
not been paid. They began TO collect in
groups and to show their annoyance.
Finally their threats became serious.
Captain Baliat, with twenty gem
darmes, was present to preserve order
among the applicants, and the United
States troops protected Colonel Moale,
the officer having charge of the pay
ments. Suddenly Captain Baliat, who
was mounted, was surrounded by
mob, struck with stones and bottles
and shot in the arm. His men prompt
ly fired a volley into the mob, three
persons being instantly killed and thir-
teen wounded. two Of whom died this
morning. Colonel Moale's guard
promptly surrounded the money office,
but took no part in the fighting.
For a few minutes there was a lively
conflict, carbines and machetes being
used freely. Captain Baliat was the
only gendarme wounded. The dead
We're coIored Cuban soldiers.
This morning payment was resumed
under a heavy guard. There are
rumors that a force is being organized
to attack the pay office, but these are
probably unfounded. General Castillo,
Civil Governor of Santiago de Cuba,
was at Ceuvitas at the time and soon
restored order.
There is no doubt that the inaccurate
list will cause a great deal Of hard
ship. Many veterans have vainly fol-
lowed the United States Commission
ers for six weeks, only to find that their
names are not listed. General Leonard
Wood, Military Governor, does not,
however, expect serious trouble.

noticeable a commendable tendency to

as hopelessly bad taste for a woman to
wear linen collar on her waist with

ST. LOUIS OBJECTS,

Perhaps it couldn't fairly be expected
that st. Louis commission would look
with favor on Chicago enterprise, but
there does seem to be reason in the re-
port of the commission appointed by
the mayor of st. Louis to investigate the
Chicago drainage canal, with special
reference to its probable effect on the
purity of the water Of the Mississippi
If ever completed and used the canal, it
is affirmed will so contaminate the
water supply of the towns in the valleys
of the Desplaines, Illinois and Missis-
sippi rivers as to produce epidemics. Its
object is to dispose of sewage estimated
at %, 900 cubic feet per minute by Great
ing an artificial channel that will drain
into the Mississippi. AS the minimum
flow of the latter at ST. Louis is about
1000, 900 cubic feet per minute, the Chi
cago sewage will form very percepti-
BILE percentage of the water used by the
people of st. Louis for drinking pur-
poses. To this the people of st. Louis
object. 1t is all very we'll, they con-
cede, for the Chieagoans to provide an

rigated by means of arteslan water,
throughout the tide-water region, and
far outside of that region, in South Sar-
DINA and other South Atlantic States.
Artesian wells of varying depth and
yield already abound in the same re-
gion, and some of them in South Caro-
lima have been reported as drawing
abundant streams of water from
strata SO near the surface as to involve
but a trihing expense for boring to
them, while the high pressure of the
spouting water plainly indicates that
practically unlimited supplies can be
obtained from the same source by sink
ing more wells.

outflow for the sewage Of their city, but
if they wish to turn it into the Missis-
sippi they must take steps to purify 1t
before it enters that stream
The report calls attention to two facts
which may hinder the use of the canal.
The canal is expected to take 100000
cubic feet of water a minute from Lake
Michigan and there is talk OF its becom-
ing an important avenue of commerce
between the Mississippi valley and the
lake region. But to take so much water
would seriously reduce the level Of Lake
Michigan and the United States has not
yet given its permission. The plan con-
templates the ultimate use Of 100000
cubic feet, or about four per cent. of
the mean discharge of Niagara river.
AS Canada has rights in the waters Of
the Great Lakes an obstacle to the
drainage canal scheme lies in that d.
rection also.

LEARNING.

The little brown men whom our troons
nave been trying to convince that we
want to teach and bless them seem to
be on the point of being convinced, and
we may expect soon to read that the
Filipino rebellion" is ended. 1t is said
that the rebels know that defeat Is
inevitable and that they are only pro-
longing resistance until it Is certain
that whatever form OF government Is
adopted will afford lucrative and infiu-
entail places for the numerous ambi-
tious leaders. 1t Is also said that the
administration sees nothing in this ir-
reconcilable with firm government by
the United States, the Filipinos oppor-
tunity being in a liberal provision for
municipal and even provincial native
properly distributed throughout the ISL
ands in supervisory capacities, charged
to interfere as little as possible with To-
cal affairs so long as they are conduct
ed without abuses, and a few garrsons
of troops at strategic points, supported
by a naval contingent, may, it Is said,
prove to be all that is necessary for the
effective maintenance of United States
sovereignty and satisfy native aspira-
tions for home rule.
This is a plausible programme. If it
is carried out it will be interesting to
see what happens to Aguinaldo. IF he
got well paid by Spain for being treach-
erous and if he gets well paid by the
United States for being submissive af-
ter he is thoroughly licked he will have
no reason to complain of his luck.

THE BEEF COURTS REpORy


The beef courts report is made pub
lie this morning, and it is about what
it was expected to be. The court finds
that General Miles allegations that the
refrigerated beef was treated with
chemicals were not established, and
that his allegations concerning the can
ned fresh or canned roast beef We're
sustained as to it's unsuitability for
food as used on the transports and as
a long continued field ration. 1t finds
that the packers Were not at fault and
that the meats supplied to the army
We're the same quality as those supplied
to the trade generally. General Miles
is censured for error in failing to
promptly notify the secretary of war
when he first formed the opinion that
the food was unfit. General Eagan is
of the canned beef as an untried ra-
ton. Fault is found with Colonel Maus
of General Miles staff. But the recon-
mendation is made that no further pro-
ceedings be taken
We do not think this report will do
much to change public opinion. 1t Is
fair enough on its face, and Its censure
of General Miles is plausible. But it
Will not be very trustingly received or
cordially approved. Rightly or wrong
ly, the people will not give 1t much
weight.
