The following letter has been received
from Senator Hspsbrough in regard 10
the return Of the North Dakota boys:
WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. q, 1898
My Dear Sir Senators and Mem.
bers from the state Of Minnesota are
fortunate in having the Twin City papers
ever ready to report their movements
and thus they are constantly before the
public eye 90 great statesmen, which
agree that the! are, all OF tbeD. The
fact lie, however that they, combined,
have not made any greater or more
effective dema, ds for fair trestment Of
the Minnesota troops at Manila than
have been made in behalf OF the North
Dakota troops. l have been to the War
Department on this question and have
been assured that our boys will be
mustered out in the order in which they
reached Manila. 1t was suggested a:
the Department the other day that the
North Dakota boys, being the healthiest
troops in Manila, might be willing to
serve their coudtry little longer, tut I
met that argument with the proposition
that it was not question Of health, but
a question Of right and justice, and If
they we're healthy it WAS their good
fortune and that it should not be
counted against them. l am looking
after the boys to the best of my ability
and have every reason 10 believe that
they will not be neglected. Very truly,
81. G. HANsBRoUGH.

We are told in certain quarters not

prevailing in San Domingo following
the assassination of President Heur-
eaux may necessitate American inter-
ference-ultimate annexation being the
logical outcome of such interference. !"
There is no question of Wall streets
power over the administration at Wash

could induce or force Mr. Mckinley TO
push his fingers further into the i'm
perial fire than they are already.
AS matters now stand it appears that
the administration has a trife more

An army of about quarter of mill

QUESTION OF vEKACIrY.

The New York Herald. which pub
lished the alleged interview with Ad-
miral Dewey at Trieste, in which the
Admiral was made to say that our next
war would be with Germany, etc.,
claims that the interview was correct
and did not misrepresent Admiral Dew
ey 1t says:
On Friday last DR.. Halstead Boyand, a
well known physician, who sometimes,
when travelling corresponds for the Her
aid In diiettante way, sent TO the Herald
a dispatch from Trieste, which was pub
lshed in our issue of last Saturday. 1t
gives resume of the conversation which
DIR. Boyland had had with Admiral Dewey.
In this conversation the Admiral spoke
with sailor-like candor and expressed opin-
ions with regard to Germany that have
stirred up commotion. 1t is regrettable
that a friendly conversation should have
found its way into print. The Admiral
cannot regret it more than the Herald
does.
Still, when this has been recorded, the
fact remains that Admiral Dewey made
the, statements, reported by Dr. Boyland,
and, even while deprecating the publica-
lie is too frank and courageous to trouble
his head about the Kaiser or what the Kali
| the question is that the German Emperor
was rankly hostile TO the United States
during our war.
Thus it will be seen it is narrowed
down TO a question of veracity between
the Herald's dilettante correspondent,
DR.. Boyland, and Admiral Dewey. The
American people will probably not be
long in deciding the question, particu-
larly as Dewey promptly branded the
alleged interview as lies and rubbish "
BY the way, how many more of these
yarns, which seem to be designed to
create bad feeling between the United
States and Germany, is the Herald S
"dilettante" correspondent responsible
for?

THE YEL,.ow rEyrn OUTBREAK.

i
| The outbreak of yellow fever at the
Soldiers Home at Hampton, Va, fur
nishes another instance of the gross
looseness in management so prevalent
under the present administration. Up
to within a day or two ago it appears
| the war department knew nothing
about the condition of affairs there, and
since then officialdom at Washington
/ seems to have been doing it's best to
| dodge the blame for this remarkable
state of affairs, whereby thirty-four
cases of yellow fever could have ex-
! listed in this institution, no one knows
how long, without the knowledge of the
| department.
The Soldiers Home at Hampton is
within six miles of Old Point Com
| fort, and the visitors to that popular
resort daily mingled with the soldiers
1t is also connected with Newport News
by trolley, and now there is no knowing
| where the germs of the disease may
| have been carried
The war department, however, seems
| to be chiefly concerned to shift the
| blame for this extraordinary state of
affairs on the marine hospital service.
| 1t is hastily explained from Washing
ton that the Soldiers Home has no
| connection with the war department
although the secretary of war is ex
officio chairman of it's board of man
ayers, and his orders would govern it.
! Close by is the garrison of Fort
Monroe, and although every sort of
quarantine precaution has been taken
to prevent the spread of the disease
north, the war department, we are in
| formed, has just ordered this garrison
now in the infected locality ito some
point on the northern coast" Which
is another sample of administration
ito protect the service" But who will
protect the people north, we are not
informed.
There is one reassuring point in this
tragedy of errors, namely, the epidemic
will be in charge of the marine hos
pital service, which is an efficient in
stitution, and we may hope that the
plague will be abated, although up to
date it has had every opportunity to
spread, aided by war department imbe-
cility.

AS TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE.

The claim is put forth on behalf
of The Hague peace conference that
while it did not accomplish much of a
tangible nature. it cleared the ground
for future conferences that may &C
complish something definite. 1t is
pointed out by the New York Journal
that
1t has created a permanent tribunal of
arbitration, under the auspices of sixteen
powers. The Representatives of fifteen
countries have signed convention on the
rules OF war; fifteen have agreed to ex-
tend the Geneva rules to land warfare:
seventeen nave signed the declaration pro-
hibitlng the use OF explosives from bal
looms; sixteen have signed the prohibition
of projectiles containing asphyxiating
gases: fifteen have barred the use of dunn
dunn bullets, and all have signed the final
Y act.
This sounds as if much for peace had
been accomplished. but in reality very
little has been accomplished. or moth
ing at all so far as nations are con-
cerned which may not care or may not
find it convenient to abide by the peace
measures presented, regardless of
whether they may have signed all of
the agreements mentioned, or not.
The keynote of the convention was
the Cars disarmament plan supple
naented by the proposition for the es-
adjustment of a court of arbitration.
The disarmament plan was promptly
defeated. while arbitration in cases Of
grave disagreement or conflict Is
