Fate Of American Prisoners

New York, Dec. 11.--A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Consid-
erabie concern has been felt in official cir
cies for some time respecting the fate of
American prisoners still held by the Fill
piao insurgents. This is due to an init
nation made by .Aguinaldo in g note to
General Otis, delivered a month ago, that
grave injury might befall the prisoners
If recognition of the so-called Filipino re-
public by the United States was lonser
delayed. 1t was III answer to this threat
that the president sent a message to Gem
eral Otis for transmission to Aguinaldo
announcing that if the prisoners We're
maltrcated in any manner he and his
subofdinates would be held personally re-
Sponsibie. At that time A%guinaldo was
believed to be within the Gordon estab-
lshed by the American troops reaching
from San Fabian to San 1sidro. While it
cannot be learned that Aguinaldo re-
ceived the communication, General Otis
undoubtedly succeeded in apprising him
OF It's contents and. knowing the result
OF Wanton injury. either to the American
or Spanish prisoners, it is hoped here that
Aguina'do will see that they are pro-
tected from harm. Aguinaldo's effort to
secure recognition by threatening injury
to the prisoners is considered by the Off
Gals as the last card to be played by the
insurgent leader. 1t has been noticed
that although the insurgents have per-
mitted many Spanish prisoners to escape,
they have carefully held the American
prisoners. This leads the officials to be-
lieve that A%guinaldo hopes, if finally cap
tured. to make terms advantageous to
himself. This would be impossible il
the prisoners were found to have suffered
any harm,

Worst Not Yet Known.

Donuon, Dec. II, 4:30 a. NIT is hard
" too much TO regard General Gatacre's
reverse near ~stornlourg as the most seri-
Gus defeat Brrtlsh arms have yet sus-
tanned in the whole Already
the official adVices SHOW that two men
We're Killed, nine officers and
men We're wounded, and nine officers and
556 men are missing. But it is evident
tilat the worst is not yet known. The
proportion of wounded and killed is so
small when compared with The missing
Who are undoubtedly prisoners in che
HANDS Of the Boers-that the supplement-
AIRY list OF casualties is awaited with
serious misaSiving. Ii is also feared
that there were serious losses of guns
and equipment. The most serious as
pert OF the affair is the effect it is likely
to have on the Dutch in Cape Colony,
who have 'Deen Wavering as to whether
to 't1roW their Tot with the Beers. Hoags
CT the northern a:ner are now likely
to join the rebellion. Defeat is also
serious because it will delay the june
uion of General Gatacre with General
for their combined forces to relieve the
pressure on Lore Met9luen's column.
The disclosure of such a strong force
at S~tornnburg was quite unexpected.
Doubtless General Gatacre was the vic
tim of treacherous guides. But the re-
suit points also to the absence of proper
cavalry scouting. The British troops,
who recently occupied Arundel, are adj
vancing. They had several skirmishes
but casualties. Three miles north of

Two Vice AdmiralS

New York, Dec. ia special to the
Herald from Washington ays 1t is ex-
pected the president will soon send TO
congress a special message regarding re-
wards of officers men from the Attain
tic fleet who distinguished themselves
during the war with Spain and whose
%gallantry has not yet been recognized,
President Mckinley has the same Samp-
son-Schley matter under serious consid-
Grafton. He is understood to be willing
that a bill should be passed authorizing
the revival of the grade of vice admiral
for the benefit of Rear Admirals Samp-
son and Schley, for the former to be given
seniroity over the latter. It is believed
Secretary oIshg will join in endorsing this
solution OF the controversy. What will
probably cause considerable criticism
among the friends of Rear Admiral Schley
is the determination of Secretary Long
to name Admiral Sampson in the meas
ure he Is preparing. giving the thank of
congress to the cOmmander-in-chief Of
the north Atlantic squadron IN the Off
GERS and men under his command. It is
not believed here, however, that the pres
den will transmit c a resolution to
congresis. knowing what determined op-
position it will meet and the probability
that friends of Schley would rave his
name substituted for that Of Sampson
and pass the resolution In that form.

By Democrats as to Their
Failure in the North
TO ELECT ANY OFFICERS
Money Question Has a Great Deal to
- do With it, Say Senators Tillman
and Berry-See Hope For Future
Of the Party.

New York, Dec. lin reply to these
questions, asked by the New York World
Why is there not a democratic governor
IN any northern state? Why is there not
a democratic senator from any northern
state? What is the cause of this? What
Is the remedy? Senator Tillman of South
Carolina says:
Cpheavals in regard to the finances of
the country and the efforts of the demo-
cratic party to press silver as an issue
nave been largely responsible for the
present condition. The free use of money
III northern elections has resulted in tenn
poiafy feFerses. 1t will depend upon

cles shall continue subseryient to money
III elections and MISREPRESENTATION Of

Whelaef Or not such a revolution shall
come as will give the democracy a hold
IN the north. / mention The lavish use of
money and, incidentally, the press, as I
firmly believe these two things are The
greatest factors in producing the existing
conditions OF legislators who were not
erected democratic senators and the alb
sence or governors who would respect
these tenets. l would rather not regain
power in furtheranca of the classes
against the masses OF the people. If we
are to become an annex to the republican
party and take up their policies and fol-
70" their schemes to the benefit of the
wealthy as against the people I prefer to
await he revolution which will return
the democratic party to power"
senator Berry OF Arkansas Y
l belleVe one source of our weakness
is that the tic party too frequent
~ goes off on a tangent and takes the
side of the controversy. It is
easy for a democrat to sacrifice a
jot of principle to a great deal of success
and so it sometimes happens that ou1.
party is not as close to the pulse OF the
as it might be. With the rapub.i-
can party it is different. Take, for ex-
the currency bill now pending.
The Republicans who now advocate this
gold standard measure, not even except
ing the president himself, were avoswcd
silver men Is years ago. They have found
1t convenient to fall in With popular party
l see no immediate hope for a re-
united democracy, but this congress may
develop new issues upon which the party
can find common ground for coming to-
gether and working in harmony. The
future of democracy is not at all dis
couraging."

Governor Of Cuba.

New York. Dec. ia special to the
nor Of Cuba will be the official designa-
ton OF the office to which Major General
Leonard Wood will be assigned early in
the new year as the successor of Major
General Brooke, the present military gov
erIor of the island. BY emitting the word
military the president hopes to impress
upon the Cubans that under the new
regime "civil government" as far as pos
sible under military o ce:s and men. will
obtain. The word "civil' will not be
substituted fer ''Anilitary'' because it
seems to the president homogeneous, in
view of the authority under which the
president is operating. Nevertheless it is
the desire of the president that General
Wood shall cut loose from rigid military
methods aHd allow the Cubans the widest
latitude possible III municipal affairs. In
deed that was his principal motive in
selecting General Wood for the governor
ship. THE number Of tha departments In
the island viii probably be reduced in
81 month Or so, so that there will be no
necessity for all the military officers now
there. General Ludlow desires, it is un-
ders,ood, to come ON when General
Wood takes command.
Notwithstanding the opposition from
the linc Of the army to the appointment
of General Wood as major general of vol
unteefs. the confirmation by the senate Of
his nomination ma be accepted as a
foregone conclusion. A favorable report
by the military committee may be looked
for on Tuesday ard his confirmation will
probably Immediately follow. General
Wood will remain in Washington Until he
has received his new commission and will
then proceed to Santiago and arrange
for his transfer to Havana.
