CHARGES OF TREASON MADE.
Captain COncas Arraigns Those VIII
Forced Spain Into War.

New York, July 10.-The "Herald's"
Washington correspondent, telegraphs to
that paper the following:
Capt Victor NJ Concas, who commanded
the Infanta Maria Teresa in the battle of
Santiago, has written an article which has
Just been translated by the Navy Depart
ment, bitterly arraigning those who pre-
cipitated his country into war. The ar
raignment is in connection with descrip-
tion of the bravery Of Don Joaquin Busta-
mente, Cerveras chief of staff, who was
wounded at FL Caney and who died from
the effects of the climate.
The events of the unfortunate war with
the United States,'' says Captain Concas.
.'are still too recent TO make il necessary
for us to recall them, especially as relates
10 the personnel Of the navy, probably the
only element of the whole Spanish nation
which is not responsible for 1t, and II the
smallest OF statesmen had not been at the
head of our affairs we should never have
engaged in this mad war the result of
which could not have been different from
what they were.
In this connection we claim glory and
honor for Bustamente, who insisted that
the squadron should not go 10 Cuba, as it
would mean to surrender the country TO
the enemy, so to speak, AID when he in
sisted on this and maintained 1t over his
own signature. he was afraid of nothing,
but was inspired by his patriotisni.
AN English Admiral and well-known
writer says that Admiral Cervera should
have disobeyed, returned to Spain from
the Cape Verde Islands, and have had
himself and all his captains shot, and that
he would thereby have saved Porto Rico
and the Philippines for Spain. But what
is as clear as daylight to anyone who
knows something of history. but nothing
of strategy, many of those who call them
selves great men, to say nothing OF the
Spanish people generally, could not De
made to understand. and Bustamente, after
stating emphatically-he, as well as his
chiefs-where the inevitable disaster lay,
furnished another instance of sublime sac
rifice." atn+s
Captain Concas describes Bustamente' s
death and the removal of his remains to
Spain, and adds:
Rest in peace, beloved Bustamente'
Some of us, more fortunate than you, have
returned to dear ones Of our hearts, but
at what sacrifice! II you could raise your
head you would not believe that those who
have caused the ruin Of our country, who
! would not listen when We asked for ships
and arms for it's defence, and answered
that we only asked for ourselves; those
who have, perhaps. become enriched
through the war and live In opulence while
your dear ones are living in poverty, thai
they are the very ones, who, in order to
deceive the people and the whole world
dare raise their voices to malign those who
/ like yourself, had the great courage te
say that we should not go to war, and at
terward that the squadron should not e
to Cuba, but when there gave your life fol

New York, July 10:1The apprehensions
excited by the heavy reduction in the
banks surplus reserves on Saturday, to-
gether with the pronounced weakness of
the London market. CAUSED general de-
clines at the opening OF business on the
stock exchange this Hpznipg. The trad
ing was in fair volume, and was well dis
tributed, and there we're lew exceptions
to the declining tendency of the market

of support. Peoples Gas' sold off with
particular rapidity, but recovered about
half the loss later on.

active in Sugar Refining, Federal Steel,

The weakness in the London market re-
fiected the increasing uneasiness in re-
gard to the, situation in the Transvaal
Consols showed further decline Of five
sixteenths Of a point.
The market unsettled throughout the
forenoon and there was good deal OF

to the stringent money market conditions
prevailing. The extreme rates made fol-
money in the forenoon were from to I
per cent. The condition of the banks dis
closed in Saturdays statement was the
main subject of discussion and chief infiu-

Geneva, n. Y, July 10.-Jonas w.
Thompson. deacon in the Baptist Church
east of Pine Plains, a settlement north OF
this city, noticed about two weeks ago
that one of his Jersey heifers was not
Welding her usual amount at the evening
milking The morning supply remained
normal. The animal was daily growing
thinner Otherwise she appeared in pe--
feet health.
Saturday night she failed to come to the
barnyard with the rest of the cows Dea-
con Thompson went TO the swamp lot
where the cows were pastured TO ascertain
why she had not appeared. The heifer
was standing beside the fence on the far
side of the lot AS the deacon approached
he saw large black snake in the act of
extracting milk from her udder-
The reptile had wound its body three
times around fence post, twice around
the heifer's left hind leg, and had thea
reached up and taken one of her teats in
its mouth. The deacon yelled. The snake
lowered its head and looked around.
Quick as a flash it unwound its coils
from the heifer's leg and the fence post
and started for the deacon. who was COM
ing on q run. The deacon struck at the
snake with a small stick. The reptile
lodged the blow, threw itself into coil.
struck and sunk its fangs into the dea-
cons right leg just above the ankle The
deacon killed the snake before 1t coied a

summoned DR.. Warbeek, of Junius. The

The residents on Florida Avenue, between
Massachusetts Avenue and R Street north
west, have filed communication with the.
District Commissioners protesting against
the issuance of permit for the erection
of a stable for ten horses to Mrs. Scott
Townsend, the structure to front on Flori-
da Avenue northwest
The protestants state that this street ia
a strictly residential one. and that the
ground commands a high price; the land
upon which Mrs. ScottTownsend proposes
to erect her stable was purchased they are
informed, at cost of 81 foot Her
property abuts on one side for distance OF
nearly 200 feet on a f1fteen-foot alley and
they ask that the Commissioners direct
that the entrance to the stable be made
upon the alley and not upon Florida Ave-
nue.. They further say that the effect OF
making the entrance on Florida Avenue
will be to ruin the entire square for resi-
Dental purposes and state as reasons there

common to grooms and stable hands con-
nected with such an establishment. will
make il impossible for respectable people
to reside upon the square.

of the protestants be denied the matter will
be litigated in the courts, and that further
more suit will be filed against Mrs. Scott
| Townsend personally for damages by the
neighboring property owners.

New York, July 10.-Under the auspices
of the Epworth League societies OF the
Jane and Perry Street churches, Police
Sergeant Ezra ID. Strope, of the Mulberry
Street station, was the principal speaker
at the twilight meeting conducted from
the bandstand in Abingdon Square at $50
O'Clock last evening. Sergeant Strope has
lately been known as the evangelist of the
police department, having conducted many
religious meetings In connection with the
Epworth League OF the Jane Street
church. He is president of this league and
will represent the organization in this city
at the Fourth International Convention, to
be held in Indianapolis, commencing July
20.
Sergeant Strope, who had done desk du-
ty throughout the day al the Mulberry
Street station, doffed the regulation Uni
form of the department shortly before )
O'Clock for suit OF plain summer wear
and FASTENED TO Abingdon Square, carrying
q bundle OF hymn books, which upon arri-
val he distributed among the fifty or more
persons who occupied seats on the band
stand platform The sergeant with relig-
ious zeal, conducted the singing and led in
the hymns.
The service was presided over by P. W.
tion with the Metropolitan Temple, at Sew
enth Avenue and Fourteenth Street. In
introducing Sergeant Strope Mr.. Radcliffe
praised the New York police force, which
he characterized as the grandest on the
face of the earth.
Sergeant Strope in his Introductory re-
marks, said it was unusual to see police
officer occupying the position of preacher.
Continuing he said, with reference 10 the
scarcity Of preachers among the uniformed
members of the force:
Il wish to God there were more of them.
The police of this city are the grandest
body of men in the world, but they have
little consideration for their souls. At one
time in my life i could not be hired to do
this kind of work. ] have been twenty lone
years in the police department, ten OF
which l have spent in this very precinct,
where / was promoted to the rank Of
roundsman first and sergeant second. No
doubt many of you here this evening had
known NE as a patrolman. When you see
me on a platform here this evening you
can rest assured that it is because sal
walton has possessed me.
AT one time j thought no more about
religion than did the most ungodly of you
around here this afternoon. Ny conversion
IS due TO my attending in the capacity ot
policeman the Salvation Army meetings in
Fourteenth Street while / was roundsmaI
in this precinct. At first ] thought the
Salvationists were cranks, but my eyes
were opened and ] broke away from my
old Lablts and old associations and sucCee l.
ed in hlOtting out the past, and in that wa!
became new man. In the end IL pays
to serve God"

unless you have used 1t and given it a

sician is away from home and the drug
stores are closed. After one such emer-
