"WAH NOTES IN BItlEP.
Gen. Gomez has had nothing to say
of late. Ho is a sensiblo muu and pro
poses to keep quiet whilo tho Spanish
aro evacuating.
' From an American standpoint, trade
follows tho flag whorover it goes, and
education, protection and wholesomo
competition aro not far behind.
Tho Spanish authorities at Havana
have compelled Miss Clara Barton to
pay duties and lines upon'Rcd Cross
supplies which slio took to that port.
Au Insurgent hospital has been estab
lished on the outskirts of Havana city,
whero Cuban and Spnnibh soldiors
, meet on tho most friendly terms.
Spain pays its foroign debt in gold
and compels domestic creditors to ac
cept silver with a valuu of less than 60o
on the dollar. Such is prosperity on
tho silver basis.
Thoauxillaiy cruisers St. Louis, St.
Paul, Harvard and Yalo wore trans
ferred by tho government to their owu
ors, tho International Navigation Com
pany, lastiiiday.
By iho time Gen. Blauco gets ready
to letivo llavaun an Amerleau news
paper will bo waiting to chronicle tho
deputturo under tho heading: "Another
old land mark gone."
Sagastii is so far behind that ho pio.
fesaus to believe that the war is not yet
ov r. It Is certain that Spain will not
cousoliembling mi lu Admiral
Dewey remains at Mauila.
Admiral Dewey prefers to stay where
lie m at the prosent. Tho ovation
ready for him will keep indefinitely,
but tho futuro of tho Philippines con
cerns blm moro than lionizing.
At Santiago and Manila our nrmios
and fleots captured over 40,000 prison
ers. Tho preparation for tho work
must havo been better than tho demo
cratic papers nro willing to admit.
It is reported that tho Spaniards at
Manila issue falso returps in obtaining
rations from tho American commissa
ries. To correct a habit tunning back
8ovcralontuiics is probably difficult.
"Lea'd theml"said one of tho brigado
commandors in speaking of tho men at
Santiago, "it was all you could do to
keep up with them." Holding that
army down to a siogo upprouch would
havo been difficult.
It is reported from Washington that
President McKinley desite an Investi
gation into the conduct of tho war by
congress, believing the result would be
regarded as fairer than if con tucted by
army ofllceis.
Advices from the interior of Havana
province say tlm. work in the Holds l
not being lusiinied, and the people nut in
to bo indifferent to tho ciup situation.
Thus thu blighting cut.su of Spanish
uile is illustrated.
The United States started out to ie
stoic peace and Older in Cuba, and the
runult was accomplished with such
bklll and success that a little of the
spirit of tranquility has descended to
the czar of all tho Kusslns.
In n short timo tho Cuban and Porto
Ricnn commissions will get to work.
Their business is to assist Spain to im
mediately evacuate tho islands. No
doubt tho commissioners will ndjourn
over tho Christmas holidays.
Admiral Montejo congratulates him
self on having got away from Dewey
with a pennant, breech plugs nnd tho
money in tho snfo. After a sen light
with Undo Sam thn Spanish seem
pleased to find anything In tho naturo
of relics.
President McKinloy has caused let
tors to bo written to tho families of
fallen officers to ascertain if boys aro
left behind old enough to be appointed
second lieutenants in the army Tho
piesident is always a thoughtful friend
of the American soldier.
Ponce nnd Snn Junn uto beginning
to display an extreme jealousy of oth
er Ariel ican cities in the matter of
summer climate. War, annexation,
expansion nnd imperialism havo
brought us a huge, assortment of model
lesurts for all seasons of tho year.
Otto of the lhht things the Spanish
peace commissioners will discover is
that no door exists by which any other
than the two nations concerned can
enter tho discussion about thu Philip
pines, That question w ill bo fettled by
the United States and Spain, no mote.
..Tho loss of our navy during tho war
with Spain was tifteen killed, forty,
three, wounded, n marvolouslv small
list in view of tho fact that thirty-fivo
Spaniidiships were destroyed in action.
Tho health of tho 28,000 men in tho
American navy thus been remarkably
good.
Somo doubt is expressed as to wheth
er it lsCclumbus or his son Diego who
is buried nt Havana. The explorer in
his nltl ngo was treated butlly by Spain,
and did not want to be buried in that
country. Tho issue, however, is not
one upon which tho United States will
tnko aides.
Reports como to tho Cuban head
quarters in Washington of tho contin
ued good impressions which Gen. Law
ton, thn cojimandor of tho American
foiccs in Santiago, is making upon tho
Cubans, nnd of their conlidenco and
trust in him. Tho impression prevails
among the lending Cubans in Santiago
from letters anil reports received that
tho rupiuio with Garcia would never
havo occurred hud Gon. Lawtou been
in command of tho American forces in
stead of General Shatter.
Admiral Co r vera nnd tho othor Span
Ish naval olllceis at Annapolis an I the
Spanish sailors at Portsmouth, N. II.,
aie to bu returned to Spain at tho ex
pense of thu Spanish government,
That was tho condition of tholr relenso
by this government without paiolu or
other lestrlcti ins. Admiral Cot vera
is charged with the nrrnugc mouts for
'transportation of tho prisoners. It is
probablo ho will visit Washington be
foro his depnrturo, to thank thoautbor
itios for the courtesies extended him
and Ids countrymen during their on
forced sojourn in tish country.
'
Tho Now York World prints an in
terviow with Gen, Shatter in which ho
is reported as saying: "At Sautiago
wo had to deal with things as they
woro, not as they should bo. Of course
thoro was sickness. It was inevitable
in n summer campaign. But nobody
was neglected, Tho doctors wero
scarce at iirst, but wo had boatloads of
them as soon as they could get thero.
Tho doctors got sick like tho rest,
They wero overworked and exhausted.
But their nbility is unquestionable.
Look at tho low porcontago of deaths
from wounds. It novor was lower in
any wnr. Why, In tho civil war, I lay
on tho battlefield myself until mag
gots developed in my wound, and that
was right near by, not down in a ma
larious, subtropical country, far away."
In speaking of the close of tho war ho
said: "1 know that the war was over
us soon ns Toral spoke to mo about sur
rondei ing tho troops in tho eastern
province. I almost fell over. I never
had on tho liphting lino nt an; one
timo mora than 13,000 men. And with
these wo captured 27,000. Nino thous
and Spaniards wero fortified in the
best Intrenched position I over saw ,
Indeed tho iniienchmoiits wcjo of such
a character that shelling with tho guns
wu had did not do them serious damage."
Gov. Holcomb has wired tho war de
partment with reforenco to having
something done for tho Third Nebraska
regiment, bettor known ns, tho Silver
Battalion, There is much alarm in the
stato ovor the condition of Col. Bryan's
regiment. There baa been in three
weeks an incrcaso in tho sick list from
forty-four to 147. Thero havo been
threo dealhs, and altogether tho mom
born of tho families represented by the
Third aro very much alarmed. Gov.
Holcomb asks the secretary of war to
give all tho Third reorults who desire
to como homo an honorable disohargo,
since thero can bo nothing moro to do
but garrison duty. Col. Bryan, too,
wants to get baok and tako part in tho
fall campaign. Ho wires that he doos
not want to resign if his regiment can
bo mustered out nt once, but other
wise ho will resign us thore is no fur
ther need of his presence in tho army.
Bryan wires tho governor each daya
report of the condition of tho Third
regiment. Many membors of the regi
on nt in writing letters to their friend
declare that they want to bo sent to
Cuba to do garrison duty in proforenco
to remaining in camp much lougor,
Throughout tho state thoro is a domaud
that tho boys bo sent homo and tho Uu
slon forces aro loud in thoir declaration
that Col. Bryan bo sont homo that ho
may tako part in tho campaign thnt is
now approaching, ,
Sco Butlor, tho harness man, bofore
