ANCIENT HISTORY REVIEWED.
state Department Issues a "Red
Book" Concerning Our Relations
With Spain In 1898.

Washington, June 19.-The American
Red Book for 1898, comprising the for
eign relations during the eventful period
of the Spanish-American war, has just
made it's appearance. 1t contains an ex-
haustive summary of the official corre-
spondence. The Dupuy de LONE incident
and the blowing up OF the Maine are
treated under separate heads. The first
Official notification to Spain that the Unit
ed States expected the independence OF
Cuba was in dispatch from Secretary
Day to Minister Woodford on March 2S
1898. The President had previously in
structed Mr.. Woodford to en-
deavor TO have Spain grant
Cuba full self-government." Spain
at once asked the meaning of this term.
In reply, Secretary Day cabled full self
government with indemnity would mean
Cuban independence" 1t appears that
Just before the war broke out, Mr.. Wood
ford sent word that the Queen Regent,
yielding to the request of the Pope, was
about to decree a termination of the war
in Cuba for a period of six months. Mr..
Woodford was hopeful that this would
avert crisis in the trouble between
Spain and the United States but this
nope was not TedIlZS0 dS OOHBicSS OooH
after adopted the resolutions of interven-
ton.
The peace negotiations both in Wash
ington and Paris are given In extenso
When the acquisition of the Philippines
came up, Secretary Hay cabled Mr.. Day,
saying:
"The sentiment in the United States is
almost universal that the people Of the
Philippines, whatever else is done, must
be liberated from Spanish domination. In
this sentiment the President fully con-
ours. Nor can we permit Spain to trans
fer any of the islands to another Power.
Nor can we invite another Power or Pow
ers to Join the United States in sover-
eighty over them. We must either hold
them or turn them back to Spain. Con-
sequently, grave as are the responsible
ties and unforeseen as are the difficulties
which are before US, the President can
see but one plain path of duty-the ac-
ceptance Of the archipelago"
Early in the war the State Department
directed our ambassador at London to
discreetly sound the British government
upon our war vessels using the Suez
canal. In reply 1t was stated that the
British government held that we were
Enthusiastically entitled to the use of the
canal for warships. The declarations Of
neutrality by most of the foreign govern
ments except Germany, are given, ana
as to Germany Amba ssador White gives
a conference with Baron Won Buelow, in
which the latter says that Germany has
not for twenty years issued proelama-
ton OF neutrality.

shafter Does Not Regard the Mat
ter as of Any Importance.
Washington, June 1e.-The War Depart
ment to-day made public two kilograms
dated yesterday relating to the alleged
clothing frauds at San Francisco The
first is a message from Gen Corbin to
Gen. Shafter asking for information on
the subject stating that lit is desirable
from every point OF view that detailed
facts of any importance be given the de-
partment before being exploited in the
newspapers"
Gen. Skaters reply is as follows:
Reference your telegram to-day, I
have refrained from making a report re-
garding clothing seized by Col. Maus be-
cause the quantity was very small and it
all appeared to have come from the same
man, a junk dealer who did business

IDENTIFY been sold to this peddler by SOL
diers and recruits. The junk man and his
son who sold it have been arrested by
the federal authorities and their case is
being considered by the federal grand
jury to-day
There is no shortage in any OF the
departments here. This seized clothing
undoubtedly represents the accumulation
of articles which have been sold from
time to time during the past year or
two by the thousands OF soldiers who
have passed through San Francisco. 1
do not regard this matter as OF any i'm
portance. though 1t has been widely ex-
plotted by the sensational newspapers.
However, the seizure OF these articles and
the arrests made will have the effect I
think OF hscouraging the purchase or sale
Of soldiers wearing apparel in this vicin-
ity hereafter.
Following is an exact list OF the artl-
cies seized:
BLANKETS, eleven pairs; leggins. Ave
pairs blue flannel shirts. forty eight /;
blouse, one; gauntlet gloves. two pairs;
black celfslin shoes, seventy-seven pairs;
tan and rusest shoes, hfty-three pairs
All these articles are now in the hands
of the proper department. ="

Cuxhaven, June 19.-At the conclusion OF
the regatta held yesterday on the Lower
Elbe, a dinenr was given on board the
Hamburg American yacht Victoria-Lou-
Use, at which Emperor William made
speech. His Majesty, in reply to the bur-
gomaster's toast, said:

Yet, have not a navy such as we should,
we have won for ourselves a place in the

and agriculture at home. and also
on the yachting on our waters, for our

races or on voyages across the ocean, or
