London, Nor, J. The dispatch from
Wel-Hai-Wel announcing the war prep

ties there 1 regarded here a being of
grave importance, coupled with the
Anglo-French war prcwartion. It in
surmised that Iluia, profiting by the
present strained 'relation between
Great llrltain and France, haa decided
to push forward her aims in the far
Kaat by forcibly seizing the valuable
treaty port of New Chwang, winch
Great ltritain cannot permit, it is said.
A dispatch from Ixiudon October 20
aald cable message hud been received
there from Shanghai ai follow: " A

of Niu Chwang (province of Icao-

securing complete possession of Nlu
Chwang, ,; Tbe native troop fled with

, Imnvon, Nov. 8. The war office ha
Issued a eml-oftlcial notification in
which it says it does not object to the
papers announcing military and naval
preparations in generat terms, but
points out that it would bo "unpatri
otic to publish specific details that
might be uef ul to a possible foe."
There i no noticeable cessation in
England' preparation and the offi

abl 11 ty to oieet all emergencies. There
were large shipments of gun, shells
and war store to Malta and Gibraltar
yesterday.
The dispatches from Franco an
nounce equal activity at Toulon, Krest,
Marseille and elsewhere. The Home
correspondent of the London Daily
Chronicle say: "France i making
great preparation at Jlizorta, about
forty mile north wet t of Tunis, Guns
and ammunition arrive dally and men
are strengthening the fort, working
day and night. The object is said to
cut communication lietween Malta and
Egypt In the event of hostilities with

GIVE BACK GRAND JURY
It wm aarreptltlousljr Taken bjr the It
f puttllesu lBiir to Favor KiubtxtUrt.
Mo of Ntbroika open youreyrs and
tee what tbe republican party has done
for you. Let uasptclfy one of its acts
aside from fastening upon tbe people ol
tbe world and especially t bo people of
this country tbe curse of gold bimetall
ism. What lias it done for Nebraska? It
baa surreptitiously abolished the grani)
iuryystiro and substituted frauds, con
spiracles and defalcations. The courts
coo call ft grand jury, bat tbe court do
not do it ttnd tbe republican part? has
substituted pettlfoglog, political adveo
turers, railed county attorneys who
rarely will tile informations ogalnsta
political or party friend nor even 0. K, a
complaint to an examining court
against sucb an one and , without wblcb
many of our courts will not enter io a
complaint for any crime charged; but
tbey will file complaints against their
party or personal enemies or such as
tbey deem tbeir enemies and will enter
Into conspiracies to fa!y charge, and
by fraud and deception and even perjury
secure a conviction, while real crime
are overlooked and Informations sur
prised. Ileal criminals commit tbeir
crimes with impunity and tbeir victims
are voiceless and without a remedy.
Cunyou Imagine that the Mosbers,
Moores, Hartleys, Bolens and tbe hosts
of respectable criminals would bave
worked tbeir crimes and defalcations
with the ucceft that tbey did In almost
evory county fof the state bad a grand
jurv been empaneled in each county at
eacb time of court? Would, their opera
tions gone on to tbe extent that tbey
did without some whisperings having
reached tbe grand jury room? And
would there not have been some investl
gallon made before sucb enormous
amounts bad been stolen?
Tbe republican party did this as it has
done every thing of tbe kind surrep.
tiouslyand under false pretenses, pre
tending that tbey only wanted to save
tbe cost of a grand jury, when in fact it
has more than doubled tbe costs of
maintaining our court. Of course in
our smaller countler with few inhabitants
where tbopeoole are guileless and less
scheming, a farming communities are
ant to be, or where by chance an honor
able and capable county attorney bas
been elected, the people do not so nc
cutely feel this evil, but take It in Cur
large cities and our counties of mors nu
merous population, where the county
attorney and bis assistant boasts of the
number of convicts, with tbe view of ob
taining for therm-elves political prestige,
tbo chances are that tbe office is tbe
center of conspiracies to falsely charge
ani persecute, rather than to unearth
crime and punish criminal.
Give ns back tbe graud jury and let
the victims of crime, as tbe law contem
plates make tbe complaint to any mag
istrate in the couuty without any "O.
K." of tbe county attorney.

and then concocted a conspiracy to

A Retired Army Officer Testifies
About Tampa and Santiago.
HE HAS MUCH TO CRITICISE,
Mo attain la the Kmbarsallon or Land

Board Halter Skalter llalloon ai lit
Iload of Attaeklng Columa s Mistake
Washington, Nov. 8. Tho war in
vestigating commission held a session
hero to-day to hear tho testimony of
Major Henry Rorueyne, a retired army
officer, lie said that he bad asked at
the beginning of the war for a military
assignment to go to tho front in hi
capacity a ao officer, but it wa re
fused and ho then went a a correspon
dent of a weekly newspaper.
Hi testimony covered the embarka
tion of the troop at 1'ort Tampa and
the campaign in Cuba. He uld that
when bo went to I'ort Tampa the
bank of the canal there wa covered
willi troop. He had wanted to go
over to thu Tenth infantry, which wa
hi old regiment, but no one could tell
him where the regiment wa to bo
found. He asked a ttnff officer and
several others for this Information,
but none knew, nor did anyono appear
to know on what vessel any of tho
particular troop were to embark.
Thero wa great confusion, A part
of a command would go on one vessel
and a part on another, and tho com
mand were In xome case separated
from their store. He had seen no or
der for the systematic embarkation of
the troops, and be had heard It said
that they were told to go aboard bel
ter skelter. , .,,,--. '
When asked to expre an opinion, as
to the preparation for tbe mburkallon
the witness hesitated, saying that to
do so would Involve criticism of bis
superiors. The commissioners Insisted
upon a reply, and Mr, Itomcyne re
plied that he did not thlnlt the prepar
ation wa such a It should have been.
" Thero was," be said, "a lack of surf
boats, and also of order, and of prepa
ration of landing, When the landing
was undertaken the troop left the
ship indiscriminately, part going at
one time and other purt at other
time." ' " ;
He told of the offort to tow tho
two lighter over to Cuba, but said
that one wa lost and that it wa the
general impression that it. was bst on
purpose, because it retarded tho pro
gress of the fleet. In response to a
question from General Mcl'ook Major
Komeyoe said that while it wa
difficult to land anything, ambu
lances and wagon could have been
landed as easily a the artillery,
Ho had seen only one ambulance
at tho front at the battle of
Kl fancy, and It wa not used for con
veying the wounded to tho rear,
Speaking of other incidents of this
battle, he said there was general sur
prise that an inflated balloon had been
carried at the head of the attacking
column, thu indicating to the hpan
iards the exact location of the troops,
but be did not know at whose order
this bad been done.
Ho said tho town of W honey wa
without exception the dirtiest place
he had ever seen in his life, and that
no effort wa madu to clean it up be
fore the fever broke out. There wa a
deficiency of proper food at tho fever
hospital and tha cooking wa gen
erally poor. Any one in thl hospital
was liable to contract yellow fever.
He hod been a patient in tho hospital
and said there had been no neglect of
patients by the medical atte ulunts at
thl hospital or at tho hospital for
the wounded. He had known surgeons
in the latter hospitals to work sixty
hour without cessation.
"Why did they not have more sur
geons?'', asked Colonel Denhy,
The witness said he could not an
swer. Major Romeyne said he had come
North a a convalescent with many
other convalescents on the transport
Concho, and In severe terms he criti
cised the provisioning of the vessel.
Many of the men were compelled to
sleep on hoard In buiik without blank
et or pillow and with no covering
except the cotton uniform which they
wore during the day,
"The watrr ws offensive to Isith
sight and smell," he said, "and the
food wa poor aod scanty, none being
provided, especially for convalescent.
Th meat waaeanned and Inferior, and
much of the hardtack moulded."
II also stated that there wa only
one physician on board th vessel, aud
tlmt he wa a convalescent. M men
had died on the way up, and MsJ.ir lb

WHAT SPAIN MUST DO,
America Musi He Pully ltliiihursd for
War Kspendltur,
Wasiuhotoit, Nov, 8, While the
cabinet gavo little attention yesterday
to the peace negotiation at I'arls,
there is no longer any doubt a to the
general purpose of tills government to
retain tho entire Philippine- archipela
go. If, after final balancing of the ac
counts, viz.; The cost of war to the
United Htfttc on one side ami our ao
qulsltlons on the otluir.lt Is found that
any compensation is due thchpnulards
it will be made In a lump sum. It Is
pointod out that, at the time the pro
tocol wa signed, tha United Htate
did not have and bad not since ac
quired any part of the Philippine Isl
ands outside of Manila city and harbor,
and that the United Ntates Jwis never
entertained a purpose to acquire any
territory by tho power of conrjuest.
What the United Mtatc will insist
upon I that she must bo fully reim
bursed for every dollar expended by
her on account of tho war, und In the
statement will be Included an amount
sufficient to cover all payments, pres
ent and prospective, on account ''of
pensions incidental to tho war, ': ' j
No Npanlsh bonds, of any character
or amount, other than local or munici
pal bond, will , be paid or assumed by
thl government. The question of the
statu of municipal obligation under
circumstance like the present I fully
settled by International law, They
must be recognized as valid and bind
ing by the conquering power,
and henco it Is assumed that the
United Htate will not raise any ques
tion on till point, but promptly con
sent to guarantee their final payment.
What sum of money this government
would consent to pay to Wpaln cannot
oven be estimated, but when the final
account Is rendered It I believed, the
balance due Hpuln will be small, prob
ably not exceeding '.'3, 000,000 or
110,000,000, ' ' -r
The belief still prevails among the
majority of the cabinet that the Npan
lard will accept tho terms'lald down
by the United Htate and that what
ever delay occur before that result Is
reached will be chargeable only to the
purpose of the Spaniards to secure the
best possible term, to extort the last
possible million dollar, beforo acced
ing to our demand, " '
