It would seem that General Pando
should not havo been permitted to
' reach Santiago; but in tho end, tho
only difference will bo that tho Amer
icans will havo that many inoro rats
to shake out of tho tin p. Kansas City
Star.
CmN'cukss is expected to adjourn this
week, all measures requiring alien
tion will havo passed by that time. A
largo number of tho members of both
houses havo already gone home. Tho
torrid climato of Washington is very
unwhoalthy for tho northern people
this timo of voar.

Spanish war party would melt away
like tho mi-;ls of the (Guadalquivir.
The butcher, Weyler, would probably
remain, barking in tho waste liki a
jackal deserted of its kind, but he
would no longer count for anything.
Tho mo-t ollicient 6tep toward pt-ace
will bo to hurry up tho Watson squad
ron. Thk United Stales of America will
soon llo.it our Hag over new territory;
that of Hawaii, tho annexation reso
lution having finally passed the sen
ato by a vote of 42 to 21. These rich
islands ought to havo boon annexed
three or four years ago, and had the
chief executive been possessed at that
timo with a few grains of patriot
ism tho prayer of these people to be
come a part of this Union would have
been heard.
Kx-Tkesukkk Kaktley was taken
to the penitentiary yesterday to serve
out his twenty years sentence for em
bi zzlement, whilo the men who got
the money, and who aro worse crimi
nals than he is, aro at largo and seek,
many of them, to tako a hand in run

man who borrowed state funds is made
to join Hartley at tho penitentiary the

The wienerwurst statesman at Ber
lin, are doing some ugly talking about
what they will do if we claim all the
Caroline Islands, and attempt to hold
Manilla. As a matter of fact Undo
Sam ought to take the swelling out of
Emperor William's head whilo he is
in fighting trim, and teach the Ger
man government a needed lesson. If
Spain had been called down four years
ago, it would not have lost any terri
tory or any meu.
Our acceptance of insults without
resentment mislead the old lady, and
Germany has been thinking too long
that this is a fourth rate power. She
needs dressing down badly, and may
go far enough to get it.
Evidence seems to accumulate that
Judge Hay ward is a candidate for con
gross, and not a candidate for gover
nor. Some of his friends are reported
as saying that tho judge does not have
any too sanguine hopo of beating Bur-
kett in tho convention, but that ho
would rather be defeated in conven
tion for that honor than take the
gubernatorial nomination, for the
reason that he thinks that if defeated
for governor he is shelved for all time.
Jake Dew of Johnson connty, who has
an inside view of politics, was in town
yesterday. Ho said there was no
doubt but that Hayward was a candi
date, and that he was making a strong
effort to get tho delegation from John
son county, a number of his friends in
Johnson county being actively at work
for him. As this is Stuli's district
also there is likely to bo some trouble.

Calls for Thanksgiving.
Washington, July G. President
McKinley, at 11:40 tonight, issued the
following proclamation to the Amer
ican people:
To the People of the United States
of America: A.t this time, when to
the yet fresh remembrance of the un
precedented success which attended
the operations of the United States
fleet in the bay of Manila on the 1st
day of May last are added the tidings
of the no less glorious achievements
of the naval and military arms of our
beloved country at Santiago de Cuba,
it is fitting that we should pause and
staying the feelings of exultation that
too naturally attend great daeds
wrought by our countrymen in our
country's cause should reverently bow
before the throne of Divine Grace and
give devout praise to God, Who
holdeth the nations in the hollow of
His hand and worketh upon them the
marvels of His high will, and Who
has thus far vouchsafed to us the light
of His face and led our brave soldiers
and seamen to victory.
I therefore ask the people of the
United States, on next assembling for
divine worship in their respective
places of meeting, to offer thanks
giving to Almighty God, who, in His
inscrutable ways, now leading our
hosts upon tho waters to unscathed
triumph; now guiding them in a
strauge land through the dread shad
ows of death to success, even though
at a fearful cost; now bearing them
without accident or loss to far distant
climes, has watched over our cause
and brought nearer the success of the
right and the attainment of just and
honorable peace.
With the nation's thanks let there
be mingled tho nation's prayers that
our gallant sons may be shielded from
harm alike on the battlefields and in
the clash of fleets, and be spared the
scourge of suffering and disuse while
they are striving to uphold their
country's honor; and withal let the
nation's heart be stilled with holy awe
at the thought of the noble men who
have perished as heroes die, and De
filled with compassionate sympathy
for all those who suffer bereavement
or enduro sickness, wounds Hnd bonds
by reason of tho awful struggle.
And above all let us pray with
earnest fervor that He, tho dispenser
of all good, may speedily remove from
us tho untold nlllictions of war and
bring to our dear land tho Housings of
restored peace and to all tho domain
now ravaged by tho eruol j-trifo tho
priceless boon of security and tran
quillity. William McKinley.

BIO DEMAND TPS STAI.IT3.
ff.viino Collector KHtiimito 1'lkr?o
Months' Supply at 400,000,000.
Washington, July 2. It was stated
at the internal revenue bureau that
fewer complaints of inability to get tho
new revenue stamps were received yes
terday than were expected. The requi
sitions of tho collectors for an estimated
three months' supply amounted to
about 400,000,000 stamps. These requi
sitions have been honored to tho amount
of over 200,000,000, and other shipments
will bo made as rapidly as possible. In
a number of cities large crowds are ro
jiorted as standing in line at the col
lector's office waiting to purchase
stamps, but no seri' inconvenience or
trouble has-been reputed so far. There
seems to bo some danger that the sup
ply in the hands of the collectors will
bo exhausted before renewals can be se
cured, but the bureau of engraving and
printing and the internal revenue forces
will work night and day as long as the
situation seems to require, and before
tho middle of next week everyone, it is
expected, will havo an ample supply to
meet all demands.
CHICAGO PAPEES SUSPEND.
Strike of Stereotypers Shuts I'p All the

CniCAfiO, July 2. None of tho Eng
lish newspapers were published in Chi
cago today, owing to a strike union; the
stereotypers. Tho stereotypers demand
a reduction in tho hours of labor and an
increase in wages. It was refused and,
as a result, at 8 o'clock last evening the
stereotypers refused to go to work. Tho
following newspapers have entirely sus
pended publication pending a settle
ment of tho issue: Times-Herald, Rec
ord, Tribune, Chronicle, Inter-Ocean,
Evening Post, Daily News, Evenin

Anxiety at the V:ir lt part tuoiit.
"Washington, July 2. The profound'
est concern throughout military and of
ficial circles marked the opening of tin
second day upon which tho battle of
Santiago is being fought. The desp.-rate
character of the fighting is now fully
known at the war department. The in
formation is m addition to too report
made by General Shatter last midnight,
when he roughly estimated his casual
ties at abovo 400. Litter reixnts, offi
cially direct from the lield, indicate that
this estimate was far too low. General
Shafter had cot, up to 11 o'clock this
morning, placed any exac t figure on his
loss, but he made it clear that his lu-.st
estimate at 400 was much short of the
actual loss. Tho Associated Press dis
patches from the field give the casualties
at about 1,000 and it is in line with Gen
eral Shafter's later intimation, -although,
as stated, he has set no figure.
Young Halstead ISaclly Hurt.
Washington, July 2. Griffin Hal
stead, one of tho speediest racing cyclists
in this district, met with a serious acci
dent while making an attempt to lower
the quarter-mile paced record. A
triplet that was pacing him accidentally
crowded Halstead with terrific force
into the fence on tho turn. Halstead
struck the railing head down and was
hurled backward on the embankment.
It was found that Halstead's front teeth
were all broken off, his gums cut, a
long gash in his chin, arms, legs and
back severely lacerated and bruised and
that he was otherwise badly injured.
It is doubtful whether or not Halstead
will ever race again. Halstead is a son
of Hon. Murat Halstead and is chief
page in the house of representatives.

day that some means must be adopted
for getting these men. Captain Olm

WILL WAIT TILL WAR IS OVER
International Congrea Will Ite I'roionel
to Settle All (Question Connect el Willi
the Conflict Oerinany Will liemun.-l
a Slice of the l'liilippluc.
Eeuun, July 2. On the lest author
ity the corresjwmdent here of tho Asso
ciated Press is informed that Germany,
France and Russia have reached an mi
derstauding to interfere in the Philip
pine islands when hostilities cease to
prevent the United States or Groat
Britain gaining possession of tho whole
island.
When the war is over an international
congress will bo proposed, similar to
the lierlin congress of 1878, to settle all
questions connected with tho war. All
the great powers will be instructed to
join, including the United States and
Spain. It appears certain that Ger
many will demand a slice of the Philip
pine islands or other compensation in
the far east.
The same authority s;rys Germany is
doing a thriving trade in provisions and
canned goods aud in ammunition and
small arms, through Hamburg commis
sion merchants, who aro selling to both
Spain and the United States. The lat
ter, it appears, is buying quantities of
potassium, used for saltpetre, from tho
big German alkali works. All these
goods, it is asserted, aro shipped from
Copenhagen mainly by tho Thingvilla
line. The German government has or
dered that three cruisers bo kept in the
West Indian waters. In spite of the
war, the German exports to America
are as largo as ever.
Volunteer Army Is living; Iuld.
Chickamauua, July 2. Today has

day.
Three rifle ranges are now established
for use of the boys of tho Third division,
First army corps, and they will com
mence practice at once. This division
is among tho number ordered to tho
front, and the men will put in all the
time possible in target practice. The
regiments which will practice at the
new ranges are tho Twelfth Minnesota,
Twelfth New York and Eighth Massa
chusetts.
Text of tieieriil Shatter's Dispatch.
Washington, July 2. Owing to tho
many conflicting reports of the losses of
the American troops in yesterday's en
gagement, it has been thought lest by tho
war department officials to make public
the text of General Shafter's last dis
patch received this morning at 4 o'clock:
"Siisoney, July 2. I fear I have un
der estimated today's casualties. A
Large and thoroughly equipped hospitiil
ship should le sent here at once to care
for the wounded. The chief surgeon
says he has use for 40 more medical
officers. The ship must bring a launch
