THE AMY WILL PEBISH IF LEFT IB CUBA Yellow Fever Threatens to Annihilate American Troops.—Ninety Per Cent Now 111. Washington, Aug. 4.—The situa tion in Santiago is becoming deeper* ate, and the American army must be moved, or it will perish. A meeting was held yesterday at Geo. Shafter’s headquarters, and in the presence of every commanding and medical officer of the Fifth army corps, Geo. Shafter read a cable mes sage from Secretary Alger, ordering him, al the recommendation of Sur geon Generat Sternberg, to move the army into the interior, to San Luis, where it is healthier. , As a result of the conference Gen. Shafter will insist upon the"immediate withdrawal of the army north within two weeks. It was the opinion of all the officers present that the removal of the troops to another point on the island was im practicable and would not lessen the ravages of disease. An address, signed by all the officers, was sent to Gen- Shafter, which was as follows: “We, the undersigned officers, com* manding various brigades, divisions, etc., of the army of occupation in Cu ba, are of the unanimous opinion that this army should be at once taken out of the island of Cuba and sent to some point on the northern seacoast of the United Stales; that It can be done without any danger to tbe people of the United States; that yellow fever in the army at present is not epidem* ic, but there are only a few sporadic cases; but that the army is disabled by malarial fever to the extent that its efficiency is destroyed and that it is in a condition to be practically destroyed by an epidemic of yellow fever which is sure to come in the near future. "We know from tbe reports of com* potent officers and from personal ob servation that tbe army is unable to move into the interior and that there are no facilities for such a move, if at tempted, and that it could not be at* tempted until too late. Moreover, the best medical authorities of the island say that with our present equipment we conld not live in the interior dur ing tbe rainy season without losses from malarial fever,which is almost as deadly as yellow fever. "Thia army must be moved at once or perish. As the army can be safely moved now tbe persons responsible for preventing such a move will be re sponsible for the unnecessary loss of many thousand lives. “Our opinions are the result of care fol personal observation, and they are also based on the unanimous opinion of our medical officers with the army, who understand the situation abso lutely.” General Ames has sent tbe follow ing cable message to Washington! “Tbe Hon. Charles H Allen, A seis’’ tant Secretary of Navy : This army is incapable, because of sickness, from marching anywhere to the transports. If it is ever to return to the United States, it must do so at once.” Enterprising Druggists. There art few men more wide awake and enterprising than J. N.

She Will Accept the Terms Offered by President McKinley. Washington, Aug. 4—The United Slates government is now waiting (o bear from Spain and thia time it is expected the answer will be final. Firmly, but courteously, tbe president has declined the earnest appeal of the French ambassador to modify tbe United Stales’ demands, except in slight and comparatively unimportant respects. There is no doubt that the peace negotiations are progressing to tbe entire satisfaction of the president and tbe members of the cabinet A state ment to that effect was made today by a high official of tbe administration who stated that within a very short time there would be a complete cessa tion of hostilities, A long conference between tbe pres ident and Secretaries Day and Long was held this forenoon. Secretary Day, when be joined the president after tbe latter bad been' conferring with tbe secretary of the navy for three-quarters of an hour, looked worn and fatigued as a sequence to a night of conference with the French am bassador, They were together going over tbe 1 peace propositions and it was 1 o’clock this morning before the conference ended. Secretary Day, it may be said, has full confidence that there will be little serious delay and bickering over the closing of the details of peace. A fortnight ago he not so confi dent, being disposed to fear Spanish procrastination and haggling over de tails. Today be expressed the opinion personally that be believed there was no longer danger on that score and said that policy seemed to have been abandoned under tbe stress of circum stances The conference yesterday afternoon 1 at the white bouse, io which tbe pres ident, M. Calnbon and Secretary Day participated, was devoted almost en- 1 tirely to a discussion of details which are regarded by tbe president as un important, and hence tbe requests of tbe French Ambassador, for tbe most 1 part, will be acceded to. Never Gives Up Its Dead. Lake Superior never gives up its dead. Whoever encounters terrible disaster—-happily infrequent in tbe tourist season—and goes down in the angry, beautiful blue waters, never comes up again/ From those earliest days when tbe daring French voy agers in tbeir tiim birch bark canoes skirted tbe picturesque shores of this noble but relentless lake down to this present moment, those who have met their deaths in midi Superior still lie at the stone-paved bottom. It may be that, so very cold is tbe water,some of the bodies may have been preserv ed through centuries. Sometimes, not far from shore, the bodies of people who have been wrecked from fishing smacks or from pleasure boats over taken by a cruel squall have been re covered, but only after the most heroic efforts with drag net or by the diver. Once on a trip down the lakes I met a clergyman who, as we passed a point of land some miles before entering tbe narrowing of tbe lake at the Soo, pointed out tbe place where the ill fated Algoma went down on tbe reef some eight years and as be look ed he said, slowly: “I wss at tbe funeral of one man who went down with her, and tbe only reason bis body is not at tbe bottom today with the other thirty eight that were lost is because it was caught in the timbers of tbeyessel and could not sink ” Minneapolis Tribune.

SROTIN, 8E0B.&IA, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUBT 5, 19. ATTITUDE TOWARD INSURGENTS United States Has a Difficult Problem in the Philippines. Washington, August 4—An inter esting question and one of vital im portance to tbe administration is tbe attitude that is assumed by tbe Uni ted Slates toward tbe Philippine in eurgents in the event we reach an agreement with Spain II is stipula ted in cur peace terms that the Uni ted States military forces shall occu py and establish a military form of government over tbe city of Manila and the bay, with the surrounding territory. This involves and immediate sur* render of the Spanish forces, not to Aguinaldo, but to General Merritt,and there is some apprehension that tbe insurgents will resent this very bitter ly and that it will be necessary to expel them forcibly from the tenitory desired. Beyond tbit, it is said in some quar ters that pending the decision of the peace commissions as to the future of the Philippines, the United States will be tdorally bound to maintain tbe statu quo in the islands at large. In other words, having deprived Spain of the means of resisting the onslaughts of the insurgents, it has been urged that tbe United States would be bound to prevent tbe latter from continuing their warfare. There is a lack of information in Washington in many important pointe as to the conditions in tbe Philippines. For instance, it is not known, even approximately, how extensive the rev olutionary movement has been through the vast group of 1,200 islands and among tbe large population, estimated to aggregate between 8,000,000 and 15,000,000. If the revolutionary move ment is general and extends to very many of tbe islands the task present ed to tbe United States military and naval authorities will bo one of great magnitude in the event that it is de cided to be incumbent upon us not to restore Spanish sovereignty where it has been lost, but to prevent its over throw in sections where it is supreme and to prevent excesses and outrages at tbe bauds of the insurgents. Favorable Features. The men who are devoting a good deal of time and attention to business during this summer season are apt to show signs of impatience at tbe very leisurely manner in which the im provement in trade is progressing.

All authorities concur io the belief that the martial, industrial and commercial features of tbe situation are in a high ly satisfactory state. The only ques tion is, what length t ' rna must ensue before tbe tide will be rushing full at flood? —Shoe and Lsatber Re porter. How to Look Good.

HtW YORK. —as«—aa—al Biennial Session Favored- A few days ago ex Senator Hill, of New Yoflr, was asked what pledges it was necessary for the democratic par ty to make in order to carry the state next fall. He mentioned several, among them. this one, namely, an amendment to the constitution pro viding for biennial sebsions of the leg islature. In the course of his talk, he said that biennial sessions would con tribute greatly towards a reduction of public expenses. Iu bis opinion, the. people-are getting very tired of tbe ex travagance displayed in public affaire. There is no doubt that Senator Hill is right about this. The people are tired. The evidence that they are is found in tbe difficulty which the old partieyrhave in keeping their members from deserting to new parties, which promise reform in tbe line of econo my ■ * Col. Candler, the gubernatorial can didate of the Democratic' party iu this state ought to use bis influence io favor of biennial sessions. It is not improbable that he will do so. And bis party ought to give him a very hearty support. Unless economy is introduced in administering tbe state’s affairs there is going to crop out a great deal of dissatisfaction in tbe ranks of the Democratic party of the state. There is no doubt that biennial sessions would be beneficial in many ways. Not only would money be saved, but a vast amount of useless legislation would be prevented.—Sa vannah News.
