TRAITORS AND EDWARDS
WHAT CONGRESSMAN sHATTUC CALLS
ATKINSON AND HIS ILK.
Another Peppery Letter from the Gin.
cinnatian to the Arch "Copperhead"
and viliher of the President.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. Fin reply to
another letter from Edward Atkinson, of
Boston, representative of the anti-ihperial
lists, Congressman W. b. Shattuc, of this
city, has written lengthy communication
giving his reasons for calling Mr.. Atkinson
and others traitors, copperheads and cow
ards" Mr.. Shattuc defines these terms,
applies them again to the same parties and
refuses to retract anything in his former
correspondence. He denounces all whose
sharp-shooting is from the rear, and closes
thus:
II care nothing about your theories of
expansion or nonexpansion, Imperialism or
anti-imperialism. man has a right TO
believe as he pleases. What do object to
and protest against is your seditious litera-
ture being sent to my home because you
advocated the encouragement Of enlist
ments in the army and because you advised
citizens to keep recruits from joining the
service. You have done much in your lies
to embarrass the government and you have
vilified the President. You have given aid
and comfort to those in rebellion against
the authority of the United States and have
sent your vicious literature to Manila with
the hope that 1t would be circulated among
our soldiers, to the end that they might be-
come dissatisfied and mutinous, and also
with the hope that it might reach the rebels
and encourage them.
1.-The war is the peoples war. They in
augurated it, and they will stand by the adj
ministration which is endeavoring to carry
out their will, that the rebellion be sup
pressed and order restored in the Philip
pine islands without regard to the bullets
in front and the swapping copperheads like
you in the rear. Congress. and not the
President. will in due time determine what
kind of government should be established in
the Philippines, but this question will never
be definitely settled while our government
is confronted by an armed force"

The Crisis la Guatemala

San Fnaxcisco, July 11.-Mail ad-
vices from Guatemala confirm the re-
ports of an approaching crisis in the
Central American republic. That the
dissatisfaction will lead to a revolu-
ton against the administration of Pres
ident Cabrera seems hardly likely in
view of the fact that there is no money
in the country to organize anything
approaching a formidable instruction.
Uprisings in the cities are, however,
expected, and, while they may not re-
suit in Cabrera's downfall, they will
cause great loss to invested capital. 1t
is by no means unlikely that foreign
governments, especially the United
States and Germany, and possibly
England, may be called upon to inter
FIRE, if they have not been requested
to do so already. Numerous tales of
political prisoners being shot by their
guards acting under orders are being
circulated. 1t is said that 5000 refugees
in Salvador and as many more in Mex
leo and Honduras are ready to take UP
arms against Cabrera.

tablish a precedent on a large number
of similar claims. The secretary says
the French steamer was first observed
by the cruiser Yosemite on July 9Th and
tina an officer of the Yosemite went on
board and noted in h log Of the Rod
riguez that a blockade of a Juan
was in progress.
Miss Favre subsequently ook passage
at Port au Prince on July 18th. On
July 18th the Rodriguez again put in an
appearance off San Juan, whereupon
she was captured by the New Orleans.
The prize was taken to Charleston on
July 22nd, and on August 9Th all the
passengers were released by our or
der and turned over to the French COM
pany. Miss Favre'S claim recited that
she had suffered from an attack of fe-
yer while at Charleston, and the DAM
ages were for this and the indignities
of the detention. From the facts cited,
the secretary states that h United
States naval authorities could not be
charged with any negligence in the
circumstances attending the capture.
Secretary Hays letter is accompanied
by one from Attorney Genera Griggs,
giving facts submitted by the United
States district attorney at Charleston,
bearing out in detail the points made
in the secretary's letter. He says the
Rodriguez was anchored off the bat
terry in Charleston harbOr, in one of the
most healthful spots along the Allan
tic coast. The health officers letter is
to the same effect.
Aside from the bearing of his decis-
ion on the individual cases, it may
have a bearing also on the claims
which may be brought forward by the
owners of the steamer Rodriguez, and
of the Lafayette, which was stopped
off Havana.
QUESTION OF ARMY CANTEENS.
i A delegation composed of well known

ing upon the construction and interpre-
tation given by the attorney general on
| the army canteen law. The opinion in
effect was that no officer or enlisted
man should act as bartender at any
| canteen, but that beer could be sold.
The delegation urged that this was a
| perveTSiOn of the law.
The members of the delegation after
their call reported the president as
| saying that the opinion of the attorney

Gus knowledge on his part-that he did
not know that an opinion had been ask
ed for by the secretary of w~ar-neithe,
did he know that such an opinion had
been given Until several days afterward
and that he would look into the matter
personally and if the opinion of the at
ttorney general was found to be correct,
it should stand, out he added that all
men were fallible and that if the att
torney general lac made a mistake he
had no doubt he (Griggs) would be
ready to rectify it-that he was an able
