A Letter to Secretary Alger Meets Witt, a
Sharp Rebuke.
W.AsniGTos, Aug. 0. The follow

twecn Coloriel Kodsetelt and Secretary
Alger:
Santiago, July 23, 1893. My Deaf
Mr. Secretary: I am writing- with the'
knowledge and approval of General
Wheeler. We earnestly hope that ybtl
will send us most 6f the regular's,
and, at any rate:, the cavalry divisioii,
ineluding the rough riders, who are as
good as any regulars and three times
as good as any state troops to Porto
Bico.. There are 1.S00 effective men in
this division. If thosa who were lefi
behind were joined to them, we could
land at Portd Rico, in this cavalry
division, close to 4,000 men, who Would
bo worth easily any 10,000 national
J guards armed with black powder.
Springficlds or other archaic weapons.
Very respectfully,
. Theodore Roosevelt.
The following reply was cabled to
Colonel Roosevelt: Your letter of 23d
is received. The regular army, the
volunteer army and the rough riders
Jtare done well, -but I .suggest, that,
"unless you want to spoil the effects
and glory of your victory, yoil make
no invidious comparisons. The rough
riders are no better than other volun
teers. They have an advantage in
their arms, for which they ought to bs
very grateful. R. A. Alger

Lincoln's opponent for the presidency
in I860, and since boyhood one Of the
fighting members ot the Republican
party and at times a part of the Re
publican machine, became a Democrat
yesterday. Mr. Douglas bases his
change in party politics solely on the
issues between tbe two parties. He
has written & letter which concludes
as follows;
"All my life my sympathies have
been with the people, having been
taught this by the two men I honor
above all others my father and Mr.
Lincoln and to-day I believe my
proper place is in the Democratic

IxufDOK. Aug. 0. There is great un
easiness on all sides here in view of
the Chinese situation, which is re
garded as bringing an open conflict
between Great Britain and Russia
within mcasurcablc distance, and it is
universally felt that the Marquis of
Salisbury's lack of backbone in yia'.d
ing to. Russian aggressiveness is' re
sponsible for the dangerous complica
tion which can only be overcome' by
the. prompt and most firm intimation
that Russia's open opposition to Brit

leader, who was, prevented by
illness from being present, 0 has con

upon the subject. 'He said Senor Cas

was of the opinion that in negotiating
its conclusion, the goverdment'should
remember tbe Virginias affair, when
the energy displayed by Spain in deal
ing with the United States saved
Spanish interests, and he thought
every effort should bo made to pre
serve'Spanlsh sovereignty over Porto

Senor Silvela added that He person

The Liberal, Moderate Republican,
publishes ad interview to-day with
Marshal Martinet de Campos, who is
quoted as saying:' "I 'openly favor
peace. Everything; that has happened
In this war could have Veen foreseen,
but the most peesimistic could awver
have imagined that our misfortune
would be so great the destruction of
Montcjos and Cervera's squadron's,
the surrender of Santiago and the
rapid and Unresisted occupation of.
Porto Kiev. No one could haveimag
incd it, even taking into considera
tion the superiority of the" United
States!
"Neither the present government
nor any other can change our sitna
tion. It would be madness to think of
rejecting President McKinley's con
ditions.' The Liberal pary can bring
about peace,wbut Sagasta shoufd not
be asked to sign it. Such a course
would not be prudent and another
Liberal cabinet should be constructed.

SCANT HONOR TO BISMARCK.
- f
Berlin, f abUe Faserai Was u Saa Die
appcMataMtft. Bermx Aug. o. .Yesterday -8 ecro
mony was brilliadt and impressive as
regards court display, but quite dlsap'
pointing in other respects. It bores
traces of haste and half-hcartcdness.
The church was inadequately decor
ated and the public displayed no en
thusiasm in the ceremonial, which, so
far.from having the exceptional char
acter of great national mourning for a
nation's greatest statesman, differed
hardly any from hundreds of similar
functions that may be witnessed here
at any time.
Perhaps the most disappointing fea
ture, though it was known before,
hand, was the fact that not a Single
member of the Bismarck family at-
tended. The royal pew. set apart for
their accommodation, remained con
spicuously and significantly empty.
It must be admitted that the deceased
statesman was not altogether popular
with the masses in Berlin, but on such
an occasion this alone could hardly ac
count for the sparsencss and nonde
script character of the public attracted
to the scene.
The bitterness of the old chancellor
toward the young kaiser seems to rcaali
beyond death.
The American ambassador, Mr. An
drew D. White, and the Spanish am
bassador.' Senor Mendez de Vigo, ar
rived almost together and sat side by
side. ' The absence of all well known
adherents' of the Kismarcks was most
noted, especially as many of them
came up to Berlin immediately after
the death, presumably to confer on the
cttitud.: thev would observe.

FOR A SAMOAN NAVAL BASE.
The Govertiaaest to Cas th Ialaaaa Ose
Talaabte Harbor.
WAsncrcTO-r, Aug. C The Presi
dent has decided to make -practical
use of .American rights at Pago-Pago
harbor, Samoa, and the establishment
of a fully equipped, naval coalin sta
tion there will be undertaken at once.
With this end, in view Frank P.
Chambers, civil-engineer, now on duty
at the New York navy yard,
has been " ordered to Wash
ington for consultation with the
authorities prior to departing next
week with full power to carry oat the
important project. Pago-Pago is the
only harbor of any value in the Sa
moan group and' the one considered by
naval officers of scarcely less" strategic
Importance in tiie Pacific ocean than
Pearl harbor, Hawaii. The decision to
utilize tbe concession secured' by Ad
miral Meade twenty-five years ago,
giving the United States permanent
6Wnership el the harbor, indicates
sufficiently the administration's appre
ciation of the vastly extended sphesp
of American interests ia the Pacific
It is the inauguration of a great naval
and' commercial policy in that direc
tion due in great maasurc to the re
sponsibilities incurred in Asiatic
waters.
