UNCLE SAM'SWAR POLICY.
Government Haa No Intontlon of Uom
bardtng apanlnli Cltlott.
Washington, July SS.-A significant
statement waa made to the press
yesterday by a gentleman In a
position to speak wtth knowledge and
authority aa to the plans of the admin
istration with reference to future war
operations. In substance the statement
was aa follows:
"Commodore Watson, in proceeding
to the Spanish peninsula aa soon as the
Porto Rlcan expedition is gotten under
way, is not to bombard the cities on the
Spanish coast. No such Idea of bom
bardment of the coast Is entertained.
While there may be other Incidental
purposes, tho main mission of Watson
is to take care of Admiral Camara's
fleet. The movement of this fleet and
the tears and apprehensions caused by
reports concerning It are to be stopped
for all time. The ships under Camara
will be located by Watson and finally
met and engaged. The talk occasion
ally indulged In as to the Canary
Islands la utterly without foundation.
This government haa no plan to take
those Islands, and does not want them.
"Despite popular expectation that
Porto Rico operations will be followed
Immediately by action against Havana,
H can be said that Havana will not be
attacked while yellow fever conditions
exist. This Is certain. It would be the
height of national folly to engage our
troopa In and about .that fever pest
hole. Consequently It will be left until
the climate lends Its aid In the autumn.
Shatter will hold his own In the eaatesn
strip now surrendered, may gradually
push his way over some other district.
and if there should bo any particular
need of Immediate aggressive action
at any point will movo against K, but
Havana will be left until yettow fever
dangers are past"
General Shatter Pays Garcia Did Not
Attack Spaniard Retnrnlna; to 8nr-render-Forty
Cubans Knleaaed from
Santiago Jail. ...
Santiago de Cuba; July tl Every
thing here Is peaceful. The 7.000 Span
ish soldiers at Uuantanamo lay down
their arms yesterday. The 6,350 from
Palma Soriano, San Luis and Longo
surrendered on Sunday to Lieutenant
Mlley. and yesterday pack trains with
provisions ware sent them. The only
others Included In the capitulation are
Z.OOt troopa at Baracoa and 1.000 at
Sagua. They have not yet been turned
over, but they are nowhere In General
Garcla'a vicinity. He is at Jlguany, and
reached there without encountering
any Spaniards. General Shatter au
thorizes an absolute contradiction of
the report that Garcia encountered a
force of Spaniards who were returning
to Santiago to surrender and waa de
feated by them. Colonel Krra P. Ewers,
of the Ninth Infantry, acting for Gen
eral Shatter, will receive the formal
surrender of Guantanamo.
On Sunday General Shatter released
40 Cubans who had been' confined In
the local Jail on political charges. In
deed, some of them were confined with
out charges of any character, others
on the most trivial pretexts and yet
others solely because of sympathy with
the Insurgent cause. The Jail Is still
filled with many whose crimes and sen
tences are not on record and are ab
solutely unknown, so far as has yet
been ascertained. A general Investiga
tion haa been ordered Immediately.
American newspapers which have ar
rived here contain articles written ap
parently under a misapprehension of
the facta regarding the conduct of the
campaign and the dictation of the
terms of surrender. General Miles was
here simply aa a visitor and adviser.
In his official capacity he had nothing
to do with the terms of the capitula
tion, the entire credit for which be
longs to General Shafter, who on July
10 received the following dispatch from
General Corfcln, at Washington, of that
date:
"The secretary of war directs me to

SPANIARDS CHEERED OUR FLAG.
Prisoner Pay Tribute to the Govern
mcnt That Vod Them. ,
New York, July 2ft. Prisoners of war
cheering the flag of their captors waa
the unusual sight witnessed, at the
Union dock In Brooklyn yesterday. The
sight was all tho ' more significant as
the cheers came from Spanish throats.
The 1G4 prisoners captured on the
four prise steamers now In port were
about to sail for home under the Brit
ish flag. They were on board the Ilea
peria, of the Anchor line, and Just as
she backed out of the dock one of thb
patrol gunboats came "byWlth one ac
cord the prisoners raised three mighty
cheers, which startled the people oh the
Brooklyn shore and could be heard on
Governor's Island. It was the best they
could In thanking Uncle Sam for the
kindness lavished on them while they
re prisoners.
Among the 254 prisoners were six of
ficers. One of these officers said: "If
our men In the field realised either the
hopelessness of our cause or the treat
ment they would get at the hands of
the Americans they would not fight
long. The quickest and easieet way to
reach home Is to surrender. I believe
in fighting where there Is a chance, but
our blockaded soldiers dont know we
haven't a chance. They can get home
quicker by surrendering, and in the
meantime be well fed and taken care of.
But they think the Americans will mur
der them.''

STARVING CUBANS' APPEAL
Begging Admiral Sampson to Hasten
the Capture of Clenfuogo.
Guantanamo Bay, July 26. -The fol
lowing pitiful appeal has .been ad
dressed by the starving people of Clen
fuegoe to Rear Admiral Sampson;
"Honorable Sir: The Cubans, old
men, women and children, residents In
the town of Clenfuegos and this neigh
borhood, are all dying ot hunger. The
young men are In tho field with the
Cuban troops, and have not shoes,
neither food. All the provisions In this
town are In tho hands of the Spaniards.
Cubans cannot obtain a piece of bread,
as it is necessary to send everything
to the field. The situation Is terrible. If
you, honorable sir, do not come quick
with your squadron to our help and
take possession of this town we shall
be lost. We bog you to precipitate yuur
operation. About 6,000 old men, women
and children will die of hunger in this
town. Some of those old men have four
or five sons fighting for his freedom
inis is our horrible situation. If the
great people of tho United States do
not come quick In our help we are lout.

lady referred to is Miss Jessie Schley,
daughter of Mr. Charles Schley, of Mil

Hoys WltnesH a Brutal Murder.
Scrahton, Pa.. July 26. Five small
boys, while playing along the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western tracks near
Lackawanna, yesterday, witnessed a i
fiendish murder. Giuseppe San tor, j
leader of the Italian band at that place,
and another Italian, thought to have I
been Raphael Pasquel, were seen quar- I
re) Ing a few rods from the boys. San- '
tor struck his companion, who drew a
short handled ax from beneath his coat
and dealt Santor a violent blow on the ,
neck, cutting a deep gash. While San-1
tor lay prostrate the murderer swung'
the ax- and nearly severed Santor's j
head from the body. The boys screamed
and the murderer chased them a few !
rods and then disappeared. The police
are looking for the murderer.
Since the case went to the Jury about
25 ballots were taken, and in nearlv
every Instance the vote stood 7 to 6 for
acquittal.
Immediately after the fact thut there
had been a disagreement had became
known there was considerable discus
sion as to what course will be folowed
by the government with relation to
another trial. District Attorney Van
degrift said that he could not say when
Senator Kenney would be placed on
trial again, but waa under the Impres
sion that the government would en
deavor to have It arranged to take place
In September.
The trial of Senator Kenney began In
the United States district court two
weeks ago yesterday, and aside from
the nature of the charge against him,
occupied considerable attention be
cause of the defendant's high position
as the Junior senator from Delaware.
Much testimony wus taken during the
trial, and the principal witness against
Senator Kinney was Wlllium N. Boggs,
former teller of the bank, who pleaded
guilty to defaulting in the sum of $107.
000. The bill of Indictment under which
Senator Kenney stood trial named
specifically 25 counts on which the
grand Jury hod found true bills. All but
six of these were disposed of by de
murrer or nolle prosequi. These six ag
gregated about $3,50(1, which amount
the senator was charged with ulding
and abetting Boggs in taking from tho
bank.
