SANTIAGO GOVERNMENTAL.


Madrid, August 1.-The second SEES
sion of the Court-martial trying Gen
erals Toral and Pareia, charged with
surrendering Santiago de Cuba to the
Americans without having exhausted
all means Of defense, took place Tues
day General Parcja, In defense, said
the garrison of the city OF Santiago
lacked food and money for the soldiers,
some having died of hunger Prey
ously however, he added, the troops
fought bravcly and many officers and
men were killed. lie also said the
troops lacked medicine Many telc-
grams were exchanged between the au-
thorities at Washington and Shafter,
the latter showing himself confident Of
forcing the surrender Of Santiago,
Toral made the same defense, saying
Santiago was defenseless and that IL
was impossible TO hold out longer. He
read a telegram sent him by Gen.
Blaco, who, after consulting with the
authorities at Madrid, approved OF the
capitulation. Another Spanish officer
testified that when he entered Santiago
be found three-quarters Of the troops
sick. General RLbi gave testimony to
the effect that further resistance would
be equivalent 10 the death Of all the
rOops. Cob OrdenneZ testified that he
blockaded and therefore did not
take part in the conference when II
was decided to surrender. But he said
he believed all means Of resistance had
been exhausted, though captulation
might have been avoided by an attempt
10 break the enemy's lines and causing
much bloodshed However, the spirit
of the troops weakened when they lost
al hope OF outside help. Lieut.. Gen
PandO, VINO was In charge Of the mil
tary operations in Cuba, testified that
Hhen he left Santiago the troops had
sufficient ammunition. He disapproYed
Of the decision Of tho generals at Hav-
ana. who, he asserted. TO succeed
should have reinforced Santiago. Gen
cfal Blanco. who succeeded General
Weyler as governor general Of Cuba,
narrated the events which tfanspired
a the beginning ~ the war He said
he had never advised the capitulation
Of Santiago, but favored strong resis-
ance. Santiago, he said, had far from
an insufficient garrison.

TO CUT OFF SINECURES.
New York Comptroller Plans $4,000
600 Saving in Expenses.

New York, Aug. Bird s. Coler,
comptroller of Greater New York. is
preparing recommendation for re-
duction in the city budget for 1900.
Coler hopes to save the city $4,000, 600.
The main features of his plans are the
vesting of all control of the citys fl
nances, including the municipal sal
aries. in a city board of estimate the
abolition of the offices of borough
presidents and other places which ne
believes to be sinecureS and large re
duction in the amount of money APP
propriated 90 charitable institutions
and societies. The comptroller Sd IS
that he is convinced there are too many
ofTiceholders and that by requiring
strict attention to duty from every en-
ploye retained, many could be dis
missed without detriment TO the city S
affairs. Coler says the city pays too
much for certain work, as for instance
he says it is unjust to pay a laoorer
who sweeps the streets as much as a
school teacher who must study eight or
ten years to obtain place.

THERE'S great bowling now going on
in the Democratic and insurgent press of
the State over the decision of Judge
Weiss, Of Dauphin conuty, which sus-
tains Gov. Stone in his veto of the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
passed by the last legislature. The prop
osition sought to amend the constitution
10y providing that voting machines could
be used in this State. mere whim of
some Cheap-John reformers, and which
the people would undoubtedly have vot-
ed down as overwhelmingly as they did
the proposition years ago to amend the
constitution so as TO do away with the poll
tax and thus cheaper the ballot. The peo-
pie are not spelling to amend their funda-
mental law, if we are to judge from past
election figures, and they were not suffer-
ering for this last whack at the constitu-
ton. But what is worrying the Demo-
cratic and insurgent press most is to
think that they did not get a chance at
the States exchequor in the advertising
of the proposed amendment. Hit a fell
low "where he lives" and you'll hear
him whine every time.

REMEMBER THE FAIR.
Reference is Of Course Made TO the
Great One at Oil City.

The Fair at Oil City year ago was ad-
mittedly the greatest one ever given in
this section. All who attended were
more than pleased. The managers prom
ise better one next month, and are
making elaborate preparations for an eX-
position such as was never before seen
in Western Pennsylvania.
They are making an innovation which
will be appreciated by the public. In
stead of one "Big Day." when all suffer
discomforts in consequence of the crowd,
they have determined to have "Four
Big Days" They intend that the first
days program shal! be equally as good
as that of any other day.
Last year the Directors introduced a
novel feature in continuous vaudeville
stage performance, in front of the grand
stand, and this year some other Fair As
sociations are copying the idea. The
stage performance will be given again
this year, but in addition to this The man :
agement promises several other new and
novel features, the nature of which they
do not care to disclose just yet as they dc
not wish TO furnish ideas for other Fair
Associations. Remember the dates, Sep.
tember l2, 10, IA and l5.
