FRIDAY, AUGUST 19. 1898.

IT ie well to remember that the army of fault-finders is not the same army that did the fighting.

HAD leader Joe Bailey exercised the least bit of prudence he would have emulated the exampie ofileader W. J. Bryan. Colonel Bryan managed to elude several unpleasant issues by enlisting in the government service.

"COWARD GOLD" is, after all, not each a coward when we consider that the increase during the months of April and May was from$582,129,742, in circulation on April 1, to 8649,571,S81 on June 1, or more than 81,000,000 per day in the very teeth of war.

What the Dingley act is doing for the wool growers of the United States is clearly shown by the table of imports for the years 1897 and 1898, During the former period we imported 350,854,026 pounds, while during 1898 we have imported only 132,418,024 pounds. The American wool grower has again found a home market for his product and is supplying the demand, which, under the Wilson bill, was supplied by importations from foreign countries.

THE Democrats in congress, during the consideration of the Dingley tariff law, contended that the passage of the bill would increase the price of all articles of common consumption. While we have had about one year of actual experience under the law, we find that articles of manufacture have really been reduced in price, while breadstuff sand the product of the field and farm have generally advanced, as the friends of the law contended at the time they would.

At no time in the history of the Democratic party when they had control of both houses of congress, was there ever money enough in sight in the shape of a surplus of revenues to build even one battleship, let alone meet an appropriation of $20,000,000 to 850,000,000 annually. The Republican party, during the administration of Chester A. Arthur, laid the foundation of the American navy as it now exists, and by wise economy and frugality in national affairs, in the collection of the revenues, they forced the issue, iintil to-day we are second in naval prowess on the Beas of the world.

OPPORTUNITIES OF THE NATION. New York Tribune: One of the shortest wars of history has ended. Not quite bloodless, it was one of the least costly of human history in blood and lives. The nation is saved only from the shame of non-fulfillment of duty. The mixed bloods of Cuba and Porto Rico will show in time whether they are worthy of freedom, and the Tagal race does not yet suspect what itB deliverance may mean. For our own nation the fruits of the war are an opportunity. What it may do, in Atlantic or Pacific islands, will go far to shape the history of this country and the world. It is in territorial importance^ one of the greatest wars in history, though few in days and small in losses. Porto Rico alone would be for so brief a contest a large result. Cuba would be in American hands one of the richest possessions on earth. The Philippines, if organized and directed with the best intelligence of which Americans are capable, would be incomparably more valuable than both the West India islands. But what the nation has conquered is mainly an opportunity. When we look down the long aisles of the future and see the possible ten millions prosperous and happy Americans in Cuba, the possible five millions in Porto Rico, and the uplifting of the Philippine islands from barbarism to the front of civilization, the change in the face of the world by four months of 1 Sft-S seems scarcely creditable, and is quite immeasurable But it is all an opportunity and not yet a realized fact. The greatest and best work Americans have yet done in self control, and in organization and development outside their own personal habitude, has to be done before the full value of the lives given and the wealth expended in 169b can be realized. Yet the onlooking world, seeing the calm and wise statesmanship and the resistless resolution of the American republic and its president thus far, looks for grander results in the future

General Luwton at Sautiago.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 17.—The first report of outrages by the Spaniards 'within their lines was brought to the headquarters of General Wilson Monday by a priest who headed a deputation from Ciales, 20 miles northeast of Utuado. The inhabitants of the place raised an American flag after the Spanish troops had left. The troops returned, tore down the flag and macheted 90 of the inhabitants. This occurred on Saturday. The priest appealed to the Americans for protection, but the latter are powerless to interfere in the present circumstances, even though a reign of terror be inaugurated.

The Chester, with the first engineers, Colonel Griilin, has arrived. Batteries A and of the Pennsylvania light artillery, the governor's troop and Sheridan troop have disembarked from the Manitoba and are camped on the outskirts of the town. No disposition of these troops has yet been decided upon. The Columbia has sailed for New York via St. Thomas and Key West.

The warships Puritan, Terror, Prairie, Gloucester, Wasp, Leydon and Annapolis have gone to Guanica and will remain there until they receive further orders. The harbor there is a good one.

PLANNING

Civil Government For Cuba and Porto Kico In Washington.

Washington, Aug. 17.—Gradually the framework of a government for the civil administration of affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and such portions of the Philippines as this government controls, is being formed. The development of this plan of internal administration occupied much of the attention of the cabinet yesterday, and later •Secretary Gage, Attorney General Griggs, Postmaster General Smith and Acting Secretary of State Moore held a 2-liours' conference at the state department, going over the infinite detail of establishing a civil administration. General Corbin was present part of the time.

At the outset the military authorities will be in charge of all administrative affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and other acquired possessions. Bui the military forces can do little more than direct the orderly execution of affairs. The carrying on of postal communication, the collection of customs, etc., are civil functions which will be taken in hand by the appropriate bureaus here, the entire work being under the protection of the military authorities.

The result of the conferences yesterday will be made known through the various departments. Already steps have been taken to restore mail communication between this country and Cuba, but the plans now under consideration are likely to take in the question of handling mail inside of Cuba, Porto Rico and other points.

A mail steamer left New York today, carrying the first lot of mail to Cuba which has left New York since the war began.

The Spanish1 government has been quite solicitious as to tho method of administering affairs in the Antilles, owing to the large Spanish interests remaining there. The French ambassador has received a number of inquiries in this line, and these have been laid before the state department. After the conference yesterday afternoon M. Thiebaul of the tho French embassy, called and was made acquainted with the general plans of the government in restoring a stable administration throughout the Spanish West Indies.

The French ambassador lias also been advised by the state department of its selection of military commissioners to meet at Havana and San Juan. The names of these commissioners has been awaited at Madrid, as it is the purpose there to appoint Spanish commissioners of the same rank as those named by the United States.

The government has also begun an effort, through diplomatic channels, to re-establish cable communication with Manila. It was believed by officials last night that the efforts would prove satisfactorily, although some days may elapse before the diplomatic representations have borne fruit.

GENERAL GRANT

last evening at Ponce, Porto Rico, ot the transport Alamo, having on board General Fred D. Grant and staff and a part of the First Kentucky, commanded bv Colonel Castleman. All told the Alamo had on board about 650 men.

General Corbin was also advised last evening of tho arrival at Ponce of tho transport Chester with tho First volunteer engineers.

CAMP THOMAS.

The Sick—New Camp Near Lexington—A Military Review*

Chickamauga, Ga., Aug. 17. Tho sick men in the regimental hospitals of the Second and Third divisions of tho First corps arc being transferred as rapidly as practicable to the Sternberg and other reserve hospitals in the park, where the accommodations aro much better than have heretofore existed. The purpose is to clear tho two divisions of all their sick immediately, leaving in the ranks only those who are strong enough to stand a inarch of 10 miles. When this work is completed the divisions will be ready to leave for their new camps.

General Sanger, commanding the Third division, First corps, returned from Lexington, Ky., last night, after having located a suitable camp for his division. It is expected that his division will leave the latter part- of this week. General McKee's division will leave as soon as he cau make tho necessary arrangements about a camp.

The news from Washington regarding the plau to muster out 50,000 of the volunteers caused a feeling of satisfaction in many of the camps over the prospects ot an early return to home life. As yet, however, there is not a feeling that interest in military affairs is at an end.

The culmination of all the interests of camplife came today when 4-4,000 of the volunteers, including the cavalry and artillery, passed in review at Camp Thomas. Tho lecal interest in this event was jast such as would be manifested by the whole country had all the people had an opportunity to witness itIt was also a holiday for Chattanooga. Stores, banks and businesshouses generally were closed and the citizens of Chattanooga turned out in a body to witness the pagoant-rv.

VOLUNTEER ARMY.

One Hundred Thousand to Re Mustered Out In Thirty Days.

Washington, Aug. IT.—The mustering out of the volunteer army raised in defense of the Union against the armies of Spain has practically begun at the war department and will be continued until the army has been placed on a basis consistent with our present relations to the nations of the earth. Orders were prepared yesterday for the mustering out of about 35,000 volunteers, including nearly 25 regiments of infantry and about eight troops of cavalry and live or six batteries of artillery. The details of the order bearing on this subject have not yet been fully perfected and the officials confine themselves to general statements in regard thereto.

Unless there is a decided change in the present plans of tho war department about 100,000 volunteers will be mustered out within the next 30 days.

A formal announcement of the plans of the department on this subject aro being deferred, pending the receipt of certain information from Major General Merritt, commanding the military forces in the Philippines. There is a large number of volunteers in the Philippines, and it is possible that it may be deemed advisable to bring them home, and, if necessary, replace them with regulars.

The proposed reduction of the army to the extent of 100,000 men will still leave a military force of about 116,000 men, regulars and volunteers, available for all military purposes. It is believed to be the purpose ot' the administration to maintain an army of at least 100,000 men until all uendiug complications with Spain are finally disposed of.

MUST BE RESPECTED.

Uncle Sam's Authority Mu.st I5e Observed by I!iKUi'£ eiitN.

Washington, Aug. 17.—The war department late yesterday posted tho following reply to an inquiry from Major General Lawton, commanding the department of Santiago, for instructions as to the policy to be observed toward the Cubans that are within his military department: Commanding General, Department, of .Santiago de Cuba:

Replying to your message for instructions, the president- directs that you be informed that the Unite.l States is responsible for peace, and must maintain order in the territory surrendered, and in your department, and must protect, all i^rsons and their property within said jurisdiction. liiteri'i renee from any quarter will ii• be permitted. The Cuban insurgents should be treated justly and liberally, but they, will) ail others, must recognize the military-occupation and authority, of the Unit-til Slates, ami the cessation of'hostilities proclaimed by this government. You should see tiie insurgent- leaders and so advise them. 11. C. t'oiiniN.

Washington, Aug. 17.—According to repoits itxc red at the Marine hospital service two of the six vessels which nave arrived at Montauk Point, L. I., with troops from Shafter's army were infected. One of these, the Grand Duchess, whose arrival has just been reported to the bureau, had four cases of yellow fever aboard and a number of "suspects."

Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 17.—The first extensive shipment of flour to Cuba from this city was made yesterday via Galveston. It was a consignment of 1 V—- »iral

STILL BURNING BODIES.

Over Seven Hundred Have So Far Been Cremated.

Santiago, Cuba, Aug. 17.—The bodies of the dead Spaniards continue to be cremated Over 700 have beeu burned so far. Yesterday afternoon 70 were to be burned. Over two rails a dozen bodies are stretchcd, across them another dozen and then about 30 corpses are stacked in an immense funeral pile, 10 high. The pile is then saturated with kerosene and the torch applied. A fall of rain put out the fire, causing the bodies to be only half burned. Around the pile, lay 22 coffins containing cornsos in a stase of decomposition. Several naked bodies were strewn upon the ground in a condition of putritaction.

Altogether about 70 unbuned and unconsumed bodies were there. The stench was terrible.

This happened at a cemetery within the city limits. The authorities and the cemetery officials say it is impossible to get men to work at the cremation. Wages of !?I a day proves no inducement to the natives to work at tne gruesome toil.

These 70 corpses represent two days' dead from the Spanish camp. The danger to the population from the stench, the presence of the buzzards, vultures and flies is incalculable.

MADRID GOVERNMENT.

Thinks United States Will Not Try to Make Capital Out of .Manila.

Madrid, Aug. 17.—The government does not thiuk the United States will try to make capital out of the fall of Manila, but the papers express much anxiety regarding that point.' The Spaniards are pleased with the fact that Admiral Dewey excluded the insurgents from Manila and are hopeful that the friction thus indicated will weigh with the United States in th9 settlement of the Philippine problem.

The government has requested the Cuban autonomist cabinet to remain in office and dispatch the governmental business until a settlement has been arranged.

A dispatch from Havana says that the American gunboat Mangrove fired 87 shells at Caibarien on Saturday. The land batteries and gunboats in tne harbor replied. The firing ceased when the commander of the Mangrove received the news brought by a Spanish gunboat that the protocol had been signed.

QUIET AT HAVANA.

Everybody Thinking of How to ttecover Something of What Has Beeu Lost.

Havana, Aug. 17.—The city remains entirely tranquil. Everybody has resumed his ordinary duties and all are thinking only of how to recover something of what has been lost.

Conservative natives aud particularly Spanish residents realize not only the expediency, but the necessity of such steps as will save the social interest of the island, avoid future insurrections and prevent a complete annihilation of the wealth partially saved from revolution and war. There is no agitation. The report that an attempt was made to shoot tho British consul is entirely without foundation.

Shaffer's Health Report.

Washington, Aug. 17. General Shafter's dispatch to the war department last night concerning the health conditions of his troops at Santiago, reports the death of 18 men, and a total number of sick of 1,721) total number fever cases 1,397 total number new cases 130 total number fever cases returned to duty 163.

The Daily News publishes an interview with First Assistant United States Postmaster General Perry S. Heath in which he is quoted as saying that nobody who understand aud realize the sentiment and desires of the'American people aiid the McKinley administration can doubt the advisibility of Colonel Hay's new appointment. "As a member of the government," said Mr. Heath, "I violate no secrets in saying that the people of the United States aud Great Britain are rapidly finding themselves traveling in much the same direction. Colonel Hay's London popularity makes him popular at home. That is a strange thing to say, looking at past events, but it shows the trend of

MOUNTAIN JUNCTION, Tenn., Nov 3, '94: Wells, Richardson & Co.—Dear Sirs: Two years ago I came from Nova Scotia, and I suppose my debilitated condition was partially owing to climatic influences. I used various kinds of medicines, but continually grew weaker, until it was with difficulty that I could go up and down stairs, and in trying to walk out of doors, could go only a few steps when I would be obliged to lean against a tree or sit down. I had read frequently of Paine's celery compound and resolved to use it.

It put me on my feet acain so that I began to take courage. I used several bottles and I feel that I owe you a

After two years Mrs. Bolser still praises Paine's celery compound. ST. ELMO, Tenn., June 23, 1890.: Dear Sire—I still continue a friend and well wisher of Paine's celery compound, and have received replies from my friends of its good results on nay recommendation. I wish you continued fuccess. Yours truly,

MRS. C. B. BOI.SKR.

One of the largest retail druggists in the city, whose business enables him to feel the public pulse in th« matter of sickness and its cure, says, "Women are peculiarly in need of a pleasant tonic. They suffer from exhaustion, and in Paine's celery compound they find instant relief. Many families now use it, and many wives give it to their husbands when they return home at night worn out by business cares. It never fails to invigorate both the mind and the body, and is a preparation that meets a common want fora safe and beneficial tonic."

Paine's celery compound is just the remedy that suits the condition of women run down in health, with unstrung nerves, wasted bodies.and thin, vitiated blood.
