Mystic, Conn, Aug. s5.-(By Associ-

said the war with. Spain had demon-
strated the Spaniard not a monster,

statesmen, a people incapable OF gov
erning themselves, adding: "a war
with the device of freedom and chival-
ry on its banners, has developed into
a conflict for conquest and baseness."
He proceeded to say that the Hague
conference was IA failure because the
great powers were each eagerly en-
gagged in piundering schemes of their
own" that 1T is not the armed saw
agery of the Philippines that threat
ems America, but the savagery that
Theodore Roosevelt represents He
declared that Mckinley should have
resigned rather than carry out the
"iniquity of war for greed on SPAIN"
that dewey should have done like
wise" in protest of the Philippine be-
trayal." He. scored Secretaries Long
and Hay for retaining their portfolios,
and praised Hoar. Boutelle and Ed
munds for their stand. Several other
addresses We're made.

Des Moines, Aug. 25.-The National

noon adopted resolutions denouncing
Governor Shaw for appointing j. Rush
Lincoln, an. eS-confederate, as briga-
der general of Iowa troops, when they
We're called into service at the opening
of the Spanish war. In the evening
the governor at a camp fire of the or
der. defended himself. He said Lincoln
was conceded to be the best military
man in the state. There We're express
sions of disapprobation while he was
talking. Yesterday a resolution was
presented as follows:
THAT the declaration of Governor
Shaw at the campfire last evening,
that his endorsement of the appoint
ment of j. Rush Lincoln to the posi-
ton of brigadier general from Iowa
was right is an insult to every men,
ber of the Union Veterans Union. We
declare the endorsement wrong be-
cause in Iowa there were over 10000

among whom were hundreds as we'll
qualified to fill the position of briga-
der general.

William Inman, of Davis county, has
been in this city since last Saturday
and he is making diligent. search for
some cattle that We're stolen from him
a week ago. He had a fine herd Of
Polled Angus cattle running inth his pas
ture. When he went to salt them one
morning he found that thirteen head
of the best animals were missing. He
started search for them and found
parties who had seen man driving
along the road with them. He follow
ed the trail until he came to this city
and continued west. About seven miles
west of Abba the trail was lost and the
gentlemen returned to Abba for as
sistanee. There is no question but that
the animals were stolen and the thief
is making away with them as fast as
possible. The cattle We're driven into
this county on the south, came to Al
bia. We're driven through the public
square, and then continued on west.
The man had other cattle with him
when he passed through Abba and it
may be that they are another herd that
has been stolen.

sHAw's PORTO nlcAN APPEAL.
Circulars Sent Yesterday to Mayors and
Auditors Asking Their Aid.

Des Moines, Aug. Ex-Governor
Shaw yesterday had mailed to the
mayors of towns and auditors of coun-
ties, circulars asking their co-opera-
tion in raising Porto Rican relief,
either in cash or useful supplies. He
especially urges, however, that contri-
buttons be sent in cash SO far as possi-
bic, as many other things which might
be sent would be useless in the tropics.
In the circular letter to county audi
tors the governor says: 4
II have caused to be mailed to your
address several copies of proclama-
ton issued, as stated therein, in ans
wer to an appeal from the war depart
ment. May | ask you to have them
freely circulated throughout the coun-
ty, and otherwise brought to the at
tention of the people, and also that
you appoint subcommittee as sug-
gested, wherever deemed practicable
and advisable, for the territory not
within the cities and towns? Permit
me to suggest, furthermore, that you
cooperate with the mayors of the mu-
inequalities within the county, and ar
range with them for taking care of the
supplies which may be contributed un-
til they can be forwarded to their des-
tination. Thus, too, each county will
the better obtain credit for the sum of
its contributions. Instructions as to
shipment of the goods contributed will
be made public as soon as arrange
ments now being made shall have been
completed. 1t is suggested, however,
in view of the fact that most supplies,
such as can be made available in the
tropics, may be obtained on better
terms nearer the scene of the disaster,
contributions of money will have the
greater practical value. Such contri-
buttons, remitted as suggested in the
proclamation, will be duly receipted
and public acknowledgement thereof
made. Nevertheless, ways will be
found of utilizing supplies that may
be donated.
II need not remind youaof the wor-
thiness of the object for which the APP
peal is made, nor how desirable it is
that the people of our state shall con-
tribute thereto with their usua
promptness and generosity"
No contributions were received by
the state treasurer yesterday for the
fund, and it looks as if this part oil
the appeal would would receive little
response.

General Davis Repeats His Request for

Washington, Aug. 2s.-(By Associ-

outline of the situation in Porto Rico
and says: "There is most pressing
need of food. The aggregate cost of
what will be required to bridge over
the period until a new supply of fruits
and vegetables is grown, will be an
enormous sum, perhaps one and half
million dollars. Thousands of fami-
lies are left homeless. The places
where the destruction is greatest are
far inland and can be reached only by
pack mules" He says it is next to
impossible to transport lumber TO
these regions, but if the people are fed
they can rebuild their homes of the
same materials as they formerly We're,
poles and thatches. He adds: 81 re-
peat my former request for thousand
