TREATY MAKERS

Two Senators Who Were Tendered

M’KINLEY KEEPS HUNTING.
Senators Allison and Gorman Refuse
To Accept the Positions Ten

Washington. August 16.—(Special.)—(Mc-
Kinley’s Paris peace commission is a
source of worry to him just now. Today
two railed States senators declined places
in that body.
They were Gorman, of Maryland, and
Allison, of lowa.
Senator Allison could not see his way
clear io accept the honor, and explained
that the Interest ot his state in the senate,
ami his desire to continue his lonuer vig
orous participation in the shaping ot
legislation in that body ami other inter
ests, would preclude his taking up the ar
duous duties at Paris that would demand
so much time and serious work.
Daring the day the president tendered to
fxe.i. i' >r Gorman, of Maryland, a place on
the peace eommi--don, but he lias declined
tin of- r.
The pros! lent now ft Is stated, is looking
for mother democratic senator to take the
pla -o of Senator Gorman.
Gordon on Porto Rican Board.
The appointment o. Gem -d \\ . W Gor
don as an; 'mia r oi the military commis
sion tor Porto Itieo was a surprise, but
was melcom ■ t> th" Georgians.
The president first offered one of tho
plaees to General 1.00, who thought he
had rather remain at the head of his
corps; and then looking around tor a
southern man to serve, he himselt, thought
of General Gordon, for whom he lias ex
pressed the highest admiration.
it was tlie president’s idea to have the
regular and volunteer arms equally repre
s.. ited on the commissions, and the south
and the north.
The two commissions, as now constitut

the <n ray for ail evening's enjoyment.
At night they find sound, refreshing slum- I

during their sleeping hours, nor are they I
drowsy during their waking hours. They I
are not ill-tempered or fault-finding. When

PREPARING FOR THE END.
Commission of Evacuation of Cuba
Named at Madrid.
'Madrid, August !!».- The cabinet council
tonight tonight decided to appoint Gen
eral Gonzales Parrado, second in command
in Cuba, Rear Admiral Luis Pastor Lan
dero. who succeeded Admiral Navarro, the
Spanish commander in Cuban waters, and
Marquis de Montoro, minister of finance in
the insular cabinet, as the commission of
evacuation for Cuba,
Tlie Perto Rican commission has not yet
been appointed, the government awaiting
an expression of the views ol Governor
General Macias, but rt lias been decided
that Admiral Vallinairo shall be one of tho
commissioners.
Tlie peace commissioners have not been
nominated, but it is believed the composi
tion of tlie commission lias been decided
upon, though tlie names of its members
will not. lie published yet. as tlie govern
ment is resolved to take advantage of the
delay granted by the protocol in order to
avoid a cabinet crisis.
The government has resolved to in
sist that the capitulation of Manila af
ter the signing of the protocol shall
have no effect in the peace negotia
tions unfavorable to Spain.
In any event, the government liolds that
the capitulation, having been signed by the
commander of the town, doe.- not entail
the surrender of tlie whole Philippines.
All indications are that tlie peace negotia
tions v. ill be prolonged. The opposition
factions are redoubling the agitation tor

of being authentic, as they are in accord
witii information from other sources and
in harmony with Senor Sagtusta's usual

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA, G A., MONDAY. AUGUST 22, 1898.
HAY TAKES DAY'S
PItACE IK CABINET
Ambassador to England Has Been
Mad 3 Secretary of State by
the President.
WELL EQUIPPED FOR PLACE.
Knowledge Acquired in England May
Yet Prove of Great Benefit to
the United States.
By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, August 16.—(Speclial.)—-Pres
ident McKinley has selected Hon. John
Hay, our ambassador to the court of St,
James, as successor to Secretary of State
Day, and it is officially announced 'that Mr.
Hay has accepted.
While it was natural because of the per
sonal friendship existing between the two
men that lire president should have turned
to Ambassador Hay as the man for the
slate portfolio, it is unquestionably true
that there is a deeper signiilcaneo to the
selection than would be implied in the selec
tion of any other public man in this coun
try at this particular crisis.
This reason has lx <ll hint' d at in the
press dispatches. Os all tlie meat now in
public life in this country, tip other has had
so practical an Opportunity to study th*
eastern question as the titan who has been
our ambassador at London during a period
witch that question—or so much of it as in
volves the relations of lite J6uropian pow
ers to China has been the overshadowing
issue at lite capital of tlie Great Britain.
A Great Vital Issue.
We In tills eountrj bear little of that
problem anil think i<-ss ot' it, but with the
English it lias been th'- great vital issue,
ami at London it lias received consideration
greater than at any of th" other capitals of
Europe, because tlie Englislt people 1> :ieve
that their commercial pta "(.;■<• in the east
depends upon the outcome of the pres' nt
complications. Hay lias been in the midst
of all this and ha- bad opporlunitj- to
study 11. While naturally the English side
of the controversy has been most promi
nently presented to his mind, it is reasona
ble to suppose that, being a man of
breadth and realizing how greatly his own
country may be interested in tin- outcome
of the contest, he has taken pains to stuiij
every phase of the question.
The presiilent heli -v l- s he lias, an*i this b■-
lief htis unqttestionablj- had much to do
with his selection as the successor of Sec
retary I >ax . The republican politicians .ire
not pleased al the constant elevation of
Colonel Huy. who has never been particu
larly prominent or active in ids support of
his party, but they are consoled b.v the fact
that lx' js rich and can play into M irk
Hanna's hands at the m-xt election.
Will Partition Come?
But irrespective of Colonel Hay's person
ality and irrespeetixe of what the politi
es.ms think about it. there is very gi-at
propriety in the selection for secretary of
state at this time of a man wiio does, know
something abnit what Euro) alls tlie
eastern question, and who has been in a
position to study tlu- problems it presmts.
Nothing can lx- more eertaTn titan that tills
country has a vital ': ' '-e solution
of the problems witi. it Great Britain is row
facing. There is hue and cry throue.liout
England just now I.batt tii" I'ailiit, of
Salisbury’.. "open doo)" policy with regard
to China. Wlietlcr it will have to be aban
• lo’ie.T or nit is for tlie future to settle;
but it 100 l mtry, il will have to be
either a light, or consent, to join witii tlie
other powers in the partition of China.
England has been ins.sting that tin- ports
of China must be open to tin comm, rec of
.ill the nations of Eurojn-, without discrim
ination against any. That is the "open
door ’ tor wa.eli Sa lisl>ur,\ has l. -en eon
.ending. In this she n.i.s stood pract;eally
alone, ail tin other powers being engaged
in a scramble tor rights that would give
them mlvatitagi to the exclusion of every
body else. Each has lx ■it after favored
territory for itself, and Rtt: .■■’. i, Germany
and Frame have been playing ln.to caeh

l or, this will be the li'.to "Ud of the divis
ion, though, of emus", a good deal more
than nothing.
Where We Come In.
In view of tills condition of affairs, it
rictus to l>e apparent t mt the ifiterest of
tin I'nited Stales in this controversy is
eery great. We. more even than the Eng
lish. are ill 'ri 'e>| jn th" preservation of
t "open door." \\ •• must push our com
merce in the magnificent field, if we would
push it anywhere, and our only chance is
through tills "op -n dom" winch Salisbury
has been working for. W" cannot partici
pate in any partition of CHiina, for we tire
not landgralibi rs despite the efforts of our
anti-imperiullsl friends to make it appear
tiiat. we are. A partition of that empire
would leave us high and dry. England
would get something out of it; we would
get not even the crumbs tiiat fall from the
table where the slicing takes place.
This grab game can be prevented, and it
can be prevented by the I'nited States.
Gri i' Britain cannot do it alone, Lut tho
intimation that we will stand by her if nec
essary is all tiiat would be needed to bring
the European landgrabbers to tiheir senses.
It i witliin tlie pow< r of : Id- government,
acting m conjunction witii that of Great
Britain, to establish it sort of fvlonroe doc- i
trine for t’hina, and v. two are strong
enough to make i' go All that need be said ■
is that tlie I'nited States and Gre.it Britain
stand for till Chinese em-
pire; tiiat we want no special privileges, but i
that We do not intend to allow an.v partition .
of territory or any unjust discriminations
in t iriffs and otin i' regulations. Such a '
declaration would bring results.
A Look to the Future.
Those who look to the future and who |
realize that to grow and prosper, our com- I
met'ce must be pushed in tin markets of j
tlie world, will come to tlie conclusion that :
tlie time has come to act. The old "homo
market is sufficient, ’ cry ot tlie high ■
protectionists has seen its day. Tlie infant
. ■ s in whose nt rests that was first
raised lhave grown to lie grandfathers and 1
grandmothers. The nation has thrown off
its swaddling clothes. If we would main
tain Lite stand we have taken among tho
nations of the world, we must meet these
questions, and meet them in a practical
way.
This is the problem which Hay lias been
studying in London, anil lie should br.ng
to the state d-.par'.ment knowledge tiiat
will be of value to the government. There '
Is no use of our attempting to make cur- '
elves believe t hat we are not vitally in- '
t< listed in the jn oblems in China, for we I
must be Interested in tlmm. if, -is a gov- I
eminent, we are to do our lull duty toward j
oursi'lxe's. We are not at the <nd of our
international compile >tions, but just at the i
threshold of them. We cannot turn back, I
however. And it is because of the certain
tv tiiat we must meet, these problems that
t here sei ins good reason to eong r<; ulate
tlie president upon his selection tor secre
tary of state.

CUBANS READY TO
FIGRT ARERIGfIJIS
Attitude of the Cuban Masses Is One
Full of Sullen Hostility and
Causes Uneasiness.
NO PROTECTORATE WANTED.
Better Class of Cubans Favor Imme
diate Annexation of Island to
the United States.
Santiago de Cuba, August 15.—Trouble
Witii. the 'Cubans is breeding. Their atti
tude is one of sullen hostility toward
Americans. The better cLvs in Cuba favor
the annexation of tlie island to tlie United
States and a majority of the. masses are
ready and anxious to work and accept the
shelter and protection afforded by an Amer
ican protectorate, but they are influenced
by a certain class ot rabid orators and
breeders of sedition and rebellion against
anything smacking of law and order.
This intlamm.itory class demands and
urges tlie. recognition of Cuba for Cubans
and spurns all offers or suggestions tend
ing to prosperity under an American pro
l teetorate and excites popular discontent.
This is exactly tlie class that pushes itself
most into evidence and whose views and
ojiinion.s are most overheard and published.
Thuir advice to the Cubans is to repu
diate all off' rs of peace or a cessation
of hostilities and to look upon an arm
istice as an agreement between tiie
United States ami Spain on their own
account and not bit ding upon t je free
and Independent slate of Cuba, whose
liberating army not only repudiated
pacification, l?ut will ignore tlie armistice
to tlie leant of continuing to wage war
and shooting every Spaniard in the
field.
A wiki rumor is afloat to tlie <:ffe<‘t that
the Cuban army will attack Santiago ami
I capture it, to the glory of the Cuban arms,
| as soon as the American garrison is weak
ened. This i.s traceable to tin* same
sou roe.
Influence Is Formidable.
Tlie influence exerted by sued a. body ot
i men against law and order is formidable.
Tills hysterical people demands suppres
sion with an iron hand. While still in em
bryo, this inlluence is already felt among
certain classes, who refuse b> work or
serve tho government until a clear state
ment of tiie freedom and independence of
tie ir country is made.
A knowledge of this comlltlon Is Impera
tive to tlie molding of future policy and
to explain whatever ii;ir.sh steps may be
rendered necessary in dealing witlh the in
surgents.
Tlie Spanish steamer Isla de Luzon sailed
this morning for Spain, having on board
2,136 Spanish s-ddiei's. Tlie Isla de I'an.ty
will probably sail tomorrow, and she will
be follow'd by the P. DeSatrnstegui The
Montevideo arrived this morning and will
begin loading at one". The embarkation
of the. prisoners is being pushed witii great
activity. Thi is rend :red imp< rat ive by
their horrible condition.
The mortality- is so great in the
Spanish camp, where disease is ram
pant, that no longer are the dead
buried. A funeral pile of ten or twelve
bodies is ma e, saturated with kero
sene and set fire to. cremating the
bodies in the open air.
The transport Breakwater saile 1 tins

in the death rate.
The question of Spanish and American

mains. Notwithstanding General Wood’s
announcement that S| aiiis.l gold would be
deprived of its Cuban inerease of b per
ci nt on its face value and tb it silver was
at 50 per cent discount, many have peisl.-t

tiiis only on small amounts.
'ltlio advent of an American trus com
pany is considered rich in promise of fu
ture prosperity.
"During four centuries of Spanish cn
trol," says El Cuban, "we have not had
tin agricultural bank; such an institu: ion
absolutely indispensibie in a eoiuitry
waete Ugrieuit It:'" is the source of all
wealth. We have been in tlie bands of
usure'-.s who t.have robbed up on all si' ■

Aimrictn money. Otherwise we have not
obtained from Spain in four eenturii's wlmt
hats been given by tho I’nited Stat's in
three weeks.”
THE FEVER IS INCREASING.
All the Hospital Ships Under Orders
To Return.
Santiago de Cuba, August IS.—The Mas
sachusetts Aid Association hospital ship
Bay State is expected to arrive tonight
from Guantanamo bay. Hospital supplies
and nurses are much needed. Large quan
tiles of supplies have already been dis
tributed by Dr. E. G. Brackett, of tiie
aid association, who arrived two weeks
ago.
All the hospital ships leaving here are
under orders to return, as the number of
sick is too large for tho present service.
Tlie fever is increasing among the re
maining troops.
Four thousand Spanish troops have al
ready been shipped and the transports
Villa Donga and Estrada I’anai will leave
tomorrow with 3.0(H) more. General Toral
says more transports will be needed than
have been provided. Six thousand Span
ish a' Guantanamo bay cannot leave be
fore the last of the month. Sickness is
increasing among them.
The statement is made on good authority
tint General Siiafter will leave on Satur
day. Gemral Wood today ordered the
sal" of whisky, beer and wines stopped
everywhere, and provided severe penal
ties for infractions of Hie rule. Rcst.iu
rant keepers are greatly depri ssed by this
order of General Wood, which confines
their sale of drinks to coffee and lemon
ade.
Miss Clara Barton, of tlie American Red
Cross Society, witii a large portion of her
force, will leave the first of next week.
TEN CASES OF YELLOW FEVER.
Surgeons May Determine To Quaran
tine Key West Today.
Key West. August IS.—With tlie exception
of the gun’uoat Princeton and tlie Monitor
Miantonomoh, which have been sent to the
Dry Tortugas, all the ships of tlie fleet
have been ordered to Norfolk without de
lay and many have already departed. Tho
naval base has been transferred from Key
West to Norfolk.
The reason for this is the appearance of
yellow fever here. Then- are now ten
cases in the marine barracks, all the vic-
tims being marines. Forty persons in all
are in the building, which is an old cigar
factory, and a most rigid quarantine is be
ing maintained. Only one of the cases is
said to be serious. Whether there are any
scattered cases throughout tlie town is not
known, but this will lie determined by a
house an house inspection. Tlie marine
hospital and local physicians are confident
tiiat tlie disease will be confined to the bar
racks and that there is no danger ot an
epidemic. .
The utmost precautions are being ob
served, however, and State Health Officer
Porter, who arrived on 1 lie Mascotte todaj,
refused p> permit that steamer to leave the
port on her return trip.to Tampa, lie will
tomorrow decide whether or not a quaran
tine <>f Key West shall bo declared.
Later ill the evening tile Mascotte. wn.ch
carries tin immune crew, was allow'd to
sail, but without any passengers.

SHAFTER'S DEFENSE
OF HIS OPERATIONS.
General Willirm H. SLaftcr, commanding
the American forces in Cuba, writes an
Inter,.sting lett- r from Santiago to .Mr.
Charles J. Swift, of Columbus, Ga., in
which he noticis tlie criticisms whii-h liave
be<?n passed upon lii.s military op'r.itlons.
Speaking of the I B, r, 'l'.ie Coluni’mis Jtn
quirer-Sun says:
‘"l'lhe reply of General Shafter to this '
letter is a document of national impor
tau: e and interest, it is tin- li tlir of a
plain, blunt soidli r, who writes Irankiy
and to tin' point, and after reml'ing tii ,
document one cannot fail to think tii"
more of tlie man who wrote it, Tiie
Enquirer-Sun lias m". er joined in tile

with it. General Vi’lu" lc. who was en ■
tlie scene of action, declares ox r 'i.is
own signature that the eri:ieisms upon |
General S'imt'ter ar. verj un.mst. If I
there is any man lix tig competent to
judge as to General Shafter's manage- I
ment during the fighting a: Santiago, ;
tiiat man is Joe Wli'i ler, ami his letter I
should forever silence tlie foolish and
mean criticism heaped iqion one of tiie
bravest and best soldiers in the Amer
ican army. Genera! Shafter deserves to I
be advanced in rank for his abl ■ and
capable management of tllie Santiago
campaign.”
The foltoxving is tlie full t< xt of General
Shafter's letter:
