Camp Alger, Va., July 3. General
Shatter's failure to take Santiago with
the forces at his command has resulted
In-tin order from the war department
at'. Washington this evening-calling: out
the Second brigade, First division, Sec
end army corps now at Camp Alger.
The brigade conblsls of the Eighth
Ohio, Sixth Massachusetts and Sixth
Illinois regiments.
The brigade Is commanded "by General
Garretson. The regiments will be sent
on to Santiago atnce Telegrams
were- tonlght-senti to all members of
the regiments who are away on fur
loughs calling for their Immediate re
turn. There Is hardly any probability
that the Third brigade, of which the
Thirteenth Is a part, going to Cuba
for some time on account of lack of
equipments.
RUMOR STARTED.
The news ftom Washington that the
three regiments mentioned were to be
given active service started the ru
mor that the Third brigade was to go.
The report quickly spread throughout
camp. I saw the division commander,
Major General Butler, who absolutely
paid that no such order had been re
ceived by him or by Major General
Graham as far as lie knew.
Great excitement In the Thir
teenth's ranks was caused list
night at 11 o'clock by the bugle
summoning the men to arms. Assem
bly Immediately followed. Company
commanders were ordered to have the
night roll call checked up.
The Sixth Pennsylvania regiment had
been paid during the day and about
three hundred had started for their
homes without furloughs. The cavalry
at Fort Myer and a battalion of the
Eighth Pennsylvania were ordered to
capture the men, many of whom had
secured liquor and had become drunk
and were terrorizing the people of Falls
Chuich. Over two hundred were cap
tured and placed in guard houses.
None of the Thirteenth regiment were
away fjom camp.
CHAPLAIN STAHL'S WORK.
Chaplain Stahl preached In the Young
Men's Christian association tent this
morning and tonight he preached be
fore the colored Ninth Ohio regiment.
The heat today has been Intense.
Thermometers registered 133 In the sun
and 112 In the shade In yome places.
All drills are dispensed with for to
morrow. T. J. Dufiy.
OPPRESSIVELY HOT WEATHER.
Work of All Kind Ilm to lie Sub.
pendnd During Center ol Day.
Special from a Staff Correspondent.
Camp Alger, Va., July 3. Yester
day was a rather quiet day in camp.
There was very little enthusiasm, and
the men put forth little exertion ex
cept to seek the shadiest and cooleBt
places possible. The usual company
skirmish drills took place In the fore
noon. During the rest of the day drill
ing was entirely out of the question.
Tho thermometer began to mount
higher and higher till at two, three
and four o'clock in the afternoon the
heat was oppressive 120 In the shade,
and 150 in the sun. This resulted In
a suspension of drills nn tm nart nt
many regiments, and this was the case
with the Thirteenth.
At 6.30 Lieutenant Colonel Mattes
conducted the dress parade ceremony
In the absence of -Colonel Couren. and
Immediately after Major Still well
drilled the regiment, Captain Frank
ItoblMg, of Company C, acting us
major of the first battalion. The drill
lasted ah hour, and was a severe test
on the boys,- as It followed dress par
ade and there was not even a breath
ofi.alr.
This afternoon tho newly recruited
companies which came from Sea Girt
. to fill the quota of the First New Jer
sey, arrived and presented almost a
pitiable sight. After a long ride In
the train, the sudden changes from the
sea breezes to the torrid heat of this
climate, and the walk from the depot
to the camp, they were In a bad con
dition. As many as fifteen men col
lapsed in a heap.
Guard mount was held, In accordance
with the new rule, at 7 o'clock, and
later In the evening the Thirteenth's
band gave a concert In front of head
quarters. '
Lieutenant Decker, of F, is offlcer
of 'the day; Lieutenant Murphy, of C,
officer of the guard; Clarence Lath
rop, of C, sergeant of tho guard; nnd
Corporals Krago, of D, Rues, of A, and
vjlughes, of F, corp6rals pf the guard.
,Ahrub'4lc0ft)e triornlng ylsltor In the
form of a snake three inches In dia
meter and four feet In length was dis
covered at reveille this morning In the
fent of Quartermaster Sergeant Pas
challs and Corporal Frear of C. A
$real commotion was at once raised,
&& 'Spanish i?y woufd not have.
bcen treated with more rough discour
tesy. Ills snakcshlp was uncermon
lously pounced upon by Private Gaul
Itz and killed. It was then found to bo
an Inoffensive milk snake. Artificer
Chamberlain, skinned the reptile, nnd
Its skin now' serves him as a belt.
Tho new Webb belts were Issued
to the several companies of the Thir
teenth this afternoon. Stings for tho
new guns were also received.
Lieutenant Harrington, of O, went
home today on a furlough.
First Sergeant Rafter, Corporals
Thornton and Robllng, Artificer Burke
and Private Howard Davis, of C, left
for home this morning on a seven days'
furlough.
In the absence of First Sergeant Raf
ter, of C, Sergeant W. S. Gould Is
taking his place.

LONDON COMMENTS.
Tho Times Thinks Tlint Spanish
Honor Hat Ueon Vlndlcatod--Tlio
Grnphlo Admires Amcrlcnn Urnverr
London, July 4. The Times this
morning, discussing the fighting at 051
Caney, says:
"Both sides have shown courage of
a very high order, nnd It Is hard to say
whether tho splendid dash and bravery
of the American ndvance In the teeth
of a galling Are or the stubborn ten
acity of the Spanish defense Is the
more admirable. Both sides have
learned to appreciate the splendid mil
itary qualities of their adversaries.
"It Is a pity that enemies who show
themseves such worthy foemen in the
field cannot sec their way to save
bloodshed by coming Immediately to
an arrangement on the inevitable basis.
The Spaniards have nmply vindicated
their honor, and, If they were wise they
would now prove their common sense
by offering terms to their opponents,
terms which. If they yere reasonye,
would almost certainly be discussed in
a generous spirit."
The Dally Graphic ln its editorial
observes: "The signal gallantry and
devotion displayed by both Spaniards
nnd Americans must be recognized.
The behavior of the Americans sends
a thrill of pride throughout the Anglo
Saxon world. The story of the splen
did manner in which the rough riders
carried San Juan Is instinct with the
Indominltablc spirit of Balaklava."
The Dally Graphic says, however, that
"the blunder lies deeper than any mere
temporary miscalculation," adding
that "the Americans cast their net too
widely, as It might have been better
to have left Santiago and Manila alone
and to have concentrated their efforts
upon Havana."
The Dally News remarks: "The pres
ent Fourth of July will be memorable.
Events seem to be tending to a full
flllmcnt of the remarkable prophecy
Captain Mahan made In 1890, that when
the United States once began to busy
itself with the affairs of the world,
it would stretch out Its hands to
Great Britain."

Catarrh Cured
Fullness in the Head and Ring

Bettor In Every Way Since Taking
Hood's Sarsaparllla.
" For several years I had no cessation
ol the suffering caused by catarrh. I had
a cense ol fullness in the head and ringing
in my ears. One of my nostrils was
tightly closed so I could not breathe
through It, and I could not clear my head.
I tried sereral catarrh cures, but failed to
get relief. Seeing accounts of cures by
Hood's Sarsaparllla I determined to give
it a fair trial. After taking a few bottles
I was satisfied it had effected cure, for
the catarrh no longer troubled me a par
ticle and I felt better in every way than
for years. I am now able to do a hard
day's work on the farm." Altoed E.

SOME VERY CANDID ADMISSIONS
MADE IN THE COURSE OF A DE
BATE IN THE CUBAN AUTONOM
IST CONGRESS-ORIGIN OF THAT
STORY OF AN ATTEMPT TO ASSAS
SINATE BLANCO.
New Yoik, July 3. The Associated
Press has received from a resident of
Havana another Instalment of a dally
diary kept by him, giving events trans
piring as they appear to Spanish eyes.
Telow are extracts from it touching
principal features:
As showing tho destitution existing
In Havana It Is noted under date of
May 25 that the Cuban chambers (au
tonomist) considered and later passed
a law exempting tenants from paying
rent when the monthly rental does
not exceed $1!.. Proprietors of grounds
near cities must plant vegetables, other
wise the grounds will be occupied by
others nnd planted. Railroads an
n&ked to transport provisions free of
charge. Havana military governor,
General Arolas has Issued orders fixing
the prices that must be charged for all
the articles that are sold at the gro
cery stores "In order to avoid abuses."
Several grocers refusing to observe
these prices were arrested. May 2S the
correspondent writes: "Flour Is be
ginning to bo scarce at Havana and Is
generally believed that In two or threo
weeks there will be no bread to eat."
Later ".00 women besought the civil
governor for work. In.Matanzas many
bakeries have suspended, being unable
to git flour. The bakeries In Havana
ate dally surrounded by great crowds
clamoring for bread. The civil gover
or of Havana, knowing that the Chil
dren's Charity Institution had no
bread, gave them ten bags of flour.
A HARROWING PICTURE.
In a debate In the Cuban chambers
one of the delegates, Romero Rublo,
a Conservative, drew this picture of
conditions In Havana under the block
ade: "We have already undergone forty
four days of blockade nnd are suffer
ing Its natural consequences. The
city so lively before looks now as If It
were a cemetery, because of the little
animation of the Inhabitants that stay
at their homes pet forming only the
most indlspensible work In order to
gain a living (very difficult, now, the
works being almost totally suspend
ed), or meditating about the result of
the prolonged blockade.
"Tho families are living the life of
hermits shut In cloisters. The theaters
nre abandoned by families and only
men and military persons are seen at
them. It Is very rare to see a young
lady now at the theaters, the parks
or receptions or nt any other place
formerly frequented by bewitching
ladles. Tho absence from all public
places of ladles gives Havana an as
pect even more gloomy than even the
suspension of all business In the mer
cantile streets. The stores are rare
ly frequented, for everybody Is try
ing to save what he can for the neces
sities of life. In the middle of the
harbor nppears the wreck of the
Maine, bringing to our mind that
mournful night of Immense misfor
tune. Few electric and gas post-lamps are
lighted during the night and every
body stays at home after dark; this
being the reason tho streets nre de
serted at night. As a matter of fact
all the articles have been raised 100
per cent. In their prices, due to scar
city and also to a paper dollar being
worth only 20 cents in gold; the silver
Is al&o undervalued, for one dollar In
sliver Is worth only 60 cents In gold
The worklngrtien and almost everybody
Is paid in silver and as their salaries
have not been raited life Is hard now
for the poor classes. Flour Is so scarce
that It causes general Ill-humor among
tho poor classes. The horses In the
stables are on half rations, nnd It Is
three weeks hlnce the horses of tho
public cabs cat corn."
IN DIRE STRAITS.
There Is much more testimony to the
same effect and tho correspondence
shows conclusively that the situation
is rapidly becoming desperate. In the
meantime the populace Is fed with false
reports of Spanish victories, one being
that Cervera at Santiago had defeat
ed Pnmpson In a decisive engagement.
When this wf,s put out, hilarious pro
cefslons paraded the streets of Hav
ana and Matanzas and glowing mes
sages of congratulation were sent to
Cervera. The story of an attack on
Blanco by a Cuban who tried to assas
sinate him had Its origin In a shooting
affray between two civilians, which
took place In the court-yard of the
j captain general's palace.
MISSIONARIES PROTEST.
They Do Not Wish to Hare the Philip
pine Revert to Spnln.
New York.July 3. The'board of com
missioners for forelsn missions whose
operations have been carried on In the
Islands of the Pacific for nearly half a
century, has Issued a statement con
cerning the alleged attitude on the
question of the status of some of these
Islands, which will result from the war
with Spain.
After disclaiming any Intention to
meddle In the political phase of the af
fair tho statement reads:
"In view of the forcible Intervention
of Spnln in the Caroline Islands, ten
years ngo, putting a stop to Christian
efforts of our missionaries, who were
there years before the Spaniards ar
rived, wo deem it rleht to ask that
whenever the status of these Islands Is
determined, ample guarantee shall be
required of whatever power shall hold
sovereignty, that perfect religious tol
eration shall be enjoyed by tho Island
ers. At to what nation shall hold that
sovereignty we have nothing whatever
to pay,"

'Ilia Nenato Mill II o In Session
Tndny.
Washington, July 3. The house will
not be In session tomorrow, adjourn
ment having been taken until .Tuesday.
There Is no definite programme deter
mined upon for the week. The confer
ence report upon the deficiency bill will
be considered Tuesday nnd It may pro
voke considerable debate. Tho naval
affairs committee has a number of bills
which It desires to bring up and a
dny may he given to It. The naval per
sonnel mensurn Is the most Important.
If It can be reached under call of com
mittees nn effort will be made to take
up the antl-scnlplng bill. The bill to
Incorpornto the International Ameri
can bank will follow the deficiency bill
conference report nnd continue before
the house until disposed of.
The. senate will be In sessslon on the
Fourth of July, nn unusual stating,
but deemed ncccssaiy by the friends of
the Hawnlllnn annexation' resolution.
It Is probable that the week will he
consumed in the dlscussslon of the res
olution unless a vote Is reached near
the middle of the week, which some
of the. senators hope. No other busi
ness will be considered that lends to
nnv extended debate until there Is a
vote on tho Hawaiian resolutions. Of
course any war legislation which might
be necessary would be considered buw
there Js no expectation of any emer
gency demands.
SORROW IN SPAIN.
Queen Regent I Deeply Concerned
nnd Wnnls lo Rend All Dlsputrtin.
Lodon, July 4. The Madrid corres
pondent of the Standard says:
"The official dispatch with reference
to the fighting nt Santiago de Cuba
caused a painful sensation. The queen
regent has sent nn expression of her
sympathy to Senora Linares, wife of
General Linares, who Is residing in
Madrid. The greatest anxiety Is felt
by all classes. The press of all sec
tions Is angry because no proper
measures have been taken to reinforce
General Linares. The queen regent is
deeply concerned and has requested
her ministers to send her all despatches
no matter at what hour they nrrlve."
GERMAN MESS TALK.
The Nowspnpera Can bcnrcoly Con
ceal Their Hostility to America,
Thrcnt ofthn Krehz Zeltung.
London, July 4. The Berlin corres
pondent of the Times says:
"German public opinion and, the Ger
man press, which arc not always Iden
tical, are now thoroughly, awakened
to the Inconvenience of the position
In which German policy has been placed
by unfortunate articles on the subject
of the Philippines. The papers aro
now trying to explain the. matter
away.
"Both the Cologne Gazette and the
National Gazette publish long articles
explaining that it is not surprising
that the German papers criticised
America at the beginning of the war,
but that this course was necessitated
neither by the dictates of national
honor nor of anxiety as to tho future
of the Philippines. The National Ga
zette considers It ludicrous to discuss
a partition of a bear's skin before the
bear is killed. We Europeans, It says,
from our own sorrowful experience,
know what surprises nre wont to have
In store.
"In all human probability, the Span
lards will lose their colony, but the
Americans will not be the only gain
ers. In Cuba, as In the Philippines,
they will have to reckon with the In
surgents now.
"The Krcuz Zeltung warns America
that 'European neutrality might not
be maintained If the Americans were
to bombard Spanish ports.'"
CHICAQO STRIKE.
So Pnpors Will lie I'libllnlicd In thn
City Itriore Tuesday.
Chicago, July 3. The situation be
tween the striking stereotypers nnd the
publishers of Chicago remains practi
cally unchanged, and probably no Chi
cago paper will publish before Tues
day morning at the earliest. The pub
lishers held a conference this nfter
nooon, when It' appeared that the num
ber of stereotypers on the way from
various parts of the country was very
satisfactory. It was, however, deter
mined that nn nttempt to issue tomor
row would be mnde. The publishers
are confident that by tomorrow even
lug they will be sufficiently well
equipped to j online publication Tues
day, but with the papers somewhat re
duced In size.
A commlttteo from the pressmen's
union waited on the publishers today,
asking for an opportunity to net as a
committee of conciliation, hut the pub
lishers icfused nbsoutely to have any
thing to do with the stereotypers' union
In any way hereafter, declaring tha,t
none of its members would be permit
ted to work in nny of their offices
again.
A special train from Milwaukee over
the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railroad came In tonight, bringing ex

her father. The family was very poor,
and hnrt placed all Its hopes on the

whom, however, thov did not dare to
produce In public on account of her
youth.
The opportunity camo one day at a
concert organized by the Fllarmonla o!

was complete. The audience Insisted
