WASHINGTION GOSSIP

The scandal growing out of the shipment of sick soldiers on the transports Seneca and Concho without adequate supplies will undoubtedly result in n general inquiry by Congress into the inefficiency of the staff corps of the army, and probably in the reorganization of a very awkward and complicated combination that has served us very well in time of peace, but always causes trouble and confusion in emergencies, and would be tolerated by no other Government. The medical department is responsible for the health of the army, for healing the wounded and curing the sick; the commissary department feeds the army, and yet both are utterly helpless without the aid of the quartermaster’s department, which furnishes transportation for their supplies. The commissaries provide plenty of food and deliver it at the source of supply to the quartermaster, who carries it to the place where it is wanted and hands it over to the commissary again, who deals it out in rations for the soldiers on requisitions from the proper regimental officers. If the supply does not come in time, or if it is not delivered at the right place, the commissary blames the quartermaster, and the- quartermaster blames the commissary. * * • Ex-Secretary Tracy and ex-Secretary Herbert were the two proudest men in the audience of millions that. witnessed the naval parade at New York, because they built the ships that did the business at Manila and Santiago. Secretary Tracy declared that every one of the men-of-war engaged in active service in this war except the Baltimore was designed under his direction and had her keel laid while he was Secretary of the Navy. Secretary Herbert, on the other hand, declared that every battleship and cruiser that took part in the Santiago fight was launched and christened under his auspices. It was quite appropriate, therefore, that both of these gentlemen should be named on the committee to welcome Admiral Sampson. * * * Lieut. Little of the navy writes: “1 do not believe that history records any war into which a people has gone so much for principle and so little for resentment. 1 fancy the American character has been as much of a revelation to the Spaniards as the accuracy of our gun fire, and I cannot help feeling that we are gaining a greater victory in that direction than with our arms. Some think we are showing an unnecessary amount of hectic gush, but it comes too spontaneously and in too.many places at once not to be genuine. 'Don’t cheer, men; the poor devils are dying,’ is a sentiment not limited to Jack Philip. He expressed the feeling of the nation.” * • • The Navy Department will iisk Congress to authorize the construction of the largest and most formidable battleships and cruisers afloat, vessels without equals in any foreign fleets and incomparably superior in offensive power, speed and endurance to any of the magnificent ships which a few weeks ago destroyed Cervera's squadron. This decision, reached at a meeting of the naval board on construction will be urged upon Congress for prompt notion, supported by arguments of the most convincing character. ♦ • • The strength of the army will be maintained above 150,000 until Congress meets, but in the meantime, unless unexpected international complications occur, about 100,000 volunteers will be mustered out of service, the reduction process commencing at once and progressing as rapidly as possible with a view to its completion before Oct. 1. * * • In reply to an inquirer, 1 would say that S3OO or S4OO would be of no consequence in Rprto liico. No one should emigrate there unless lie makes arrangements in advance for employment or has a sufficient amount, of capital to buy a plantation or establish himself in business. • • * The commissioner of internal revenue has held that certificates of membership in wheelmen's protective associations are required to have affixed to them revenue stamps at the rate of ceDt on each dollar or fraction thereof of premium paid. * * * President McKinley will be the guest of the Omahn exposition during the peace jubilee, which will be a feature early in October.

TRAIN CLASH DEALS DEATH

Express Train Dashes Into a Local Near fharou, Mas*. In a rear-end collision at Sharon station. a sumqier resort, twenty miles out of Boston, on the Providence division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, fonr persons were killed outright and thirty-eight seriously injured, and besides there were several score bruis-’ ed and shaken up. The New Bedford express. going at thirty-five miles an hour, overtook the Boston and New London local express while it was stopping at the Sharon station, and the locomotive crashed into the rear passenger coach, smashing it to kindling and causing the telescoping of several other cars on the train. Failure of the signal system,-which should have shown the engineer of the second train a danger signal, is supposed tp have caused thfc collision. Sharon is located just around a curve, and the crash came without a moment’s warning. The rear car of the New London train was completely wrecked, and several of the dead were frightfully mutilated. Several of the wounded are so seriously injured that their lives are despaired of.

WAR NEWS IN BRIEF.

Typhoid fever at Camp Aiger is undef control. Gen. Wood has regulated the price of provisions at Santiago. » Our war with Spain lasted three months and twenty-two days. Sampson rei>orts that the health of his men is remarkably good. Both Spanish and American troops ttrs now on guard at Manila, and armed natives are not allowed to enter the city.

TERMS OF SURRENDER.

Cob litions Upon Which the Capitulation of Manila Waa Agreed On. The terms Of the capitulation of Manila as agreed upon by commissioners representing the two forces on the field, a* cabled to the War Department by Maj. Gen. Merritt, are in harmony with the plan of the peace protocol signed in Washington the day before t*ie surrender took place. The Spaniards give up control of Mnnila and its suburbs, which the American army is to control until the conclusion of a treaty of peace between the two nations. All public property and funds are to be turned over to officers of the United States. On its part the American army is obligated to protect the inhabitants, their private property, their churches, their religious worship and their educational establishments. The American authoritieswill proceed to exercise control in Manila, therefore, until provision shall have been made by treaty for the final disposition and government of the islands. The terms of capitulation facilitate the carrying out of the. provisions of the peace protocol. As the capitulation was for “the city and defenses of Mnnila and its suburbs” it is to be presumed that the Spanish will continue to exercise such authority in other portions of the islands ns the insurgents will permit. The term “suburbs” is indefinite, and in ease of need for activity for the sake of preserving order might warrant the United States in exercising authority over a considerable portion of the islund of Luzon, on which Manila is situated. WILL EXPLODE ALL THE MINES. First Dnty of Admiral tampion on Reaching Havana Harbor. The President has instructed Admiral Sampson that his first duty after proceeding to Havana will be to demand the surrender of Morro Castle and the keys to the mines in the harbor. Sampson is instructed to explode all the mines, leaving the harbor safe for the entrance of American warships, which are t'o keep peace during the sessions of the commission to Havana. i The commisson will probably meet on the New York. The board will not discuss the Cuban debt nor the question of public improvements. All improvements of every nature, according to the President. go with the surrendered territory. Siege guns and heavy armament in the fortifications must remain as at present. Only field artillery and Mausers may be taken from the island, and then only at the discretion of the commissioners. About the only question to be settled by the eommissoners is the removal of the portable Government property, and send; ing home of the Spanish soldiers. The latter undertaking is by far the grater of the two, and a large fleet of transports will be required to land all the soldiers on Spain’s shores. WANT TO GO HOME. Now that War Has Ceased Our Volunteers Desire to Quit Camps. Now that the war with Spain is at an end the volunteer soldiers (or at least a majority of thein) want to go home. Life in the various military camps, now that the possibility of fighting Spaniards has disappeared, has become more irksome than ever. The only chance for diversion that is left for the troops is to be sent to Cuba or Porto Rico to do garrison duty. This would soon become as monotonous as camp life in this country, and a man who is not constitutionally lazy has no desire for a three or six months’ loaf in some W ost India town where lassitude is one of man’s characteristics. Sickness in camp, too, has had a tendency to create a feeling of homesickness among the men. Then there are thousands who feel that they should be at home attending to business. They enlisted in the service of the United States to fight the enemy, and now that the enemy has been subdued, they would like to go home. DIE FROM HOMESICKNESS.

Fatal Effects of Nostalgia Among Troops in Cuba and Porto Rico. Homesickness and fevers are shown to have a worse effect than bullets among the troops invading Cuba nnd Porto Rico. The lack of mail facilities, for which the Washington authorities are blamed, has caused anxiety am? distress in the army. Sickness Infs been bred in all the principal camps in this country and on some of the transports. The neglect to provide suitable hospital facilities at the front has caused many deaths, and for this there is 6troug criticism of the military authorities. SAFE IN MANILA. Transports Peru and Puebla Reach the Captured City, The American transports Peru and Puebla. having on board Gen. Otis nnd Gen. Hughes, arrived in Manila Sunday morning. There was no serious illness on board either of the vessels. This addition to the military forces under command of Gen. Merritt raises the total garrison in the Philippines to about 14.000 mem It is expected at the War Department that more regiments will he sent from San frauciscp as soon as the transports can be provided. SPAIN’S MILITARY BOARD. Names of Commissioners Are Sent to the State Department. M. Thiebaut, secretary of the French embassy, has notified the State Department of Spain’S selection of the following commissioners for Cuba and Porto Rico: For Cuba—Maj. Gen. Gonzales Parado, Rear Admiral Pastor y Landero, Marquis Montore. For Porto Rico —Maj. Gen. Ortega y Diaz, Commodore of First Rank Vallarino y Carrasco. Judge Advocate Sanchez del Aguila y Leon.

Spanish Privates at Santiago Congratulate American Army. The War Department is in receipt of a congratulatory farewell address to Uen. Slinfter and his army, which is signed by Pedro I.opcz de Castillo, a private of Spanish infantry, on behalf of 11,000 prisoners embarked from Santiago for Spain.
