American Guns for Turkey.
Constantinople, Aug. 8.—The porte
has replied to the American demand
for compensation for losses sustained
by American subjects during the Ar-
menian massacres.
The reply is the same as that given
to other powers, repudiating all re-
sponsibility for the losses.
In the course of the farewell audi-
enc . of Dr. James B. Angell, the re-
tiring American minister to Turkey,
the sultan referred to the war between
the United States and Spain. He said
he was much impressed with the naval
operations and the terrible execution
of American guns and had ordered the
purchase of similar guns for Turkey.

Probably Sunk.
St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 8.—Capt. Ma-
jor of the mail steamer Virginia Lake,
from Labrador, which arrived here,
expresses the belief that one ship cer-
tainly has been sunk in the Straits of
Belle Isle. Reports to that effect, he
says, are current along the whole nor-
thern coast of the island, besides which
a quantity of deals, cheese boxes and
other wreckage have drifted ashore at
Flowers cove, near the scene of the
reported disaster.
William on Bismarck.
Berlin, Aug. 8.—Emperor William,
replying to the message of condolence
from the Hamburg senate upon the
death of Bismarck, telegraphed as fol-
lows:
“This expression of your sympathy
upon the occasion of the death of the
■great chancellor fills my afflicted heart
with peculiar thankfulness. At the
head of the German mission, I realized
with especial keenness the significance
of the passing of our great national
hero.
“May the powerful emotion which
his death has caused among all Ger-
mans throughout the world testify to
the firm determination of the German
people to preserve and honor in grati-
tude the memory of that immortal
statesman by an utter devotion to the
nation, to the emperor and the em-
pire.” /

The Oneida was fired on by Span-

The Place for Your Daughters.
St. Mary's Academy at Notre Dame,
Ind., ranks first among the educational
institutions for girls. Young women
from all parts of America and Europa
are found in its classes. The faculty
have just issued a catalog that con-
tains much valuable data. Parents de-
sirous of sending their daughters to the
bes: institution should send for thia
catalog before deciding on sending
them elsewhere. It is under the super-
vision of the Sisters of the Holy Cross
and is located at Notre Dame, far from
the excitement of even village life, and.
right among the beautiful scenes of the
Creator’s handiwork.

Fort Monroe, Va., Aug. 8 —One hun-

taken to the post hospital. It is under-

Madrid, Aug. 6.—At a cabinet coun-
cil last evening Senor Sagasta recount-
ed to his colleagues wha had been said
at the conference with the various po-
litical leaders Thursday. No decision
was taken.
Senor Pugceiver, minister of finance,
read a proposal to increase the note
circulation end guarantee of the Bank
of Spain.
The council also considered an offi-
cial dispatch from Santiago, signed by
Gen. Toral, saying that owing to the
smallness of the camp which the
Americans had furnished, the absence
of tents and the improper food, the
number of Spanish sick had incmeased
to 10,000, the death rate being from
twelve to fourteen daily.
The dispatch also stated that the
beds now were altogether insufficient
for so large a number of sick soldiers,
and that their transportation home
ought to commence immediately.
Gen. Toral informs the government
that the wound of Gen. Linares had
not developed any complications, but
was causing him great pain.
Garcia Departed.
New York, Aug. 8.—A special from
Santiago says Gen. Calixto Garcia and
his 1200 insurgents have stopped draw-
ing rations and Garcia has left the
province in high dudgeon because the
United States authorities refused to
permit him to take up the reins of
government in the province. The last
4 heard of him he was west of Holguin,
proceeding toward Nuevitas in the
/ province of Puerto Principe. His pur-
pose is probably to form a junction
with Gen. Gomez, who is supposed to
he in Santa Clara province.

Philippine Commission.
Washington, Aug. 8.—It is learned
on excellent authority that the presi-
dent proposes to appoint a bpard of in-
quiry, and will have for its purpose
the learning of everything concerning
the Philippines from the social, fiscal
and political standpoints.
This body is to be entirely distinct
from the peace commission It will,
as a matter of fact, be more important
than the peace commission. The lat-
ter will be directed in its negotiations
by the president, while the president’s
attitude will be largely influenced by
the reports he may receive from the
Philippine commission. In a word,
this commission is to report to the
president as to whether or not the
United States wants all the Philippine
islands for a colony.

Mobile, Ala., Aug. 8.—In response to
an invitation extended in the name of
the people of Greensboro, Ala., to visit
Lieut. Hobson’s home, Admiral Cer-
vera writes, saying:
“I thank you very much and also the
citizens of Greensboro for the kind
expression contained in your letter an?
you will allow me to say that it is I
who should render thanks (which I do
with the greatest pdeasure) for the
kind and generous treatment which I

ican people.
“It would be gratifying to me to ac-
cept your invitation to visit Greens-
boro, where was born the brave Lieut.
Richmond Pierson Hobson, but it will
be impossible for me to do so, for as
soon as the war is ended it will be
obligatory upon me to return imme-
diately to Spain to account for my
conduct, which must be judged as pro-
vided for by the law. Nevertheless I
shall not fail to carry through all my
life the remembrance of such brave of-
ficers as Lieut. Hobson ant also the

Guiteras Arrives.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 6—Dr. John
J. Guiteras, the famous yellow fever
expert and .one of the leading Cuban
advisers in this country, arrived at
his home in this city from Santiago
de Cuba, where he has been engaged
in yllow fever work under the direc-
tion of the government.
Concerning the yellow fever which
has attacked the troops, Dr. Guiters
said:
“The yellow fever cases thus far
have been of a light order and the mor-
tality among the troops has not been
heavy. The most serious sources of
trouble at present are from typhoid fe-
ver and malaria. Most of the men ill
in the hospitals are suffering from one
or the other of those diseases. (
“As the season drags on, however,
the yellow fever will become more se-
rious, and then it will be worse than
the typhoid.”

school children for the purpose of rais-
ing money to build a battleship to be
called the “American Boy,” are in the
city forwarding their plans. They have
bad an interview with President Mc-
Kinley, who gave them the following
letter, indorsing their idea:
“Mr. W. Rankin Good, Cincinnati, O.
—My Dear Sir: The circular which you
have presented to me outlining your
plan for raising a fund with which to
build and present to rhe government
a battleship has greatly interested me.
“Love of country and devotion to

not think that the problem of recon-
struction, if rightly approached, is as-
serious as it may seem to outsiders.
I know that the question is seriously
asked whether the Cubans are capable
of governing themselves; can they be
trusted to govern it?
“Our people, unlike those of other
Spanish-American countries, are not
a warlike people, and they were driv-
en to rebellion by the greatest possible
oppression as a dernier ressort to
avoid absolute slavery, if not annihila-
tion. Once the Spanish people leave
this soil, it will be a most serious oc-
casion indeed that could bring an
armed resistance.
“The vast majority of the popula-
tion of Cuba are agriculturists, and
possess neither ambition nor desire to
hold office. To be left alone to the
cultivation of the soil and enjoyment
of their home life, is all they ask.

Washington, Aug. 6—A message from
Gen. Shafter was read at the cabinet
meeting yesterday in which he report-
ed that Thursday the discharges from
the hospital were over 200 in excess of
the number of sick admitted. This
leaves the officials to believe that the
seriousness of the situation may have
been overstated, but this fact will not
in the least interrupt the prompt de-
parture of troops.
"I hese people comprise seven-
eighths of our population. Of the re-
mainder, our leaders, political and mil-
itary, many were educated in the Unit-
ed States. There they have imbibed
the spirit of liberty and learned the
meaning of a true republican form of
government.”
“In their knowledge and ability and
integrity we place our trust, and under
the guidance and protection of the
United States I can see for Cuba a fu-
ture of brightness.”

Will Go Forward.
Washington, Aug. 8.—Gen. Wade’s
reinforcements for Gen. Miles are go-
ing forward regardless of the progress
of peace negotiations. This agreement
to negotiate a treaty of peace does wot
necessarily carry with it a cessation of
hostilities.
In the case of the Mexican war it
was a month after the peace negotia-
tions began before hostilities were de-
clared to be closed, and if it is desir-
able these reinforcements may be in-
tercepted and returned to the United
States after they sail. The present
plans of Secretary Alger all contem-
plate that they shall leave the United
States, especially as it is felt that with
the practical field experience they will
acquire in Porto Rico under favorable
climate conditions they will make good
material to use both there in Cuba in
carrying out the government’s recon-
struction policies.
