Madrid, August s—Though peace'is regarded an assured. it mav not lie attained so quickly as is generally expected. Senor Sagaeta objects to being hustled and insists upon ev >rv thing lieing done in a quiet, or-, derly and dignified manner. He considers it necessary to have full and satisfactory exp'anations as to all doubtful points in order tc enable him best to protect the national interests against the ag gressive tendencies of the Wash ington cabinet. He has also to ex amine very minutely the exigent cies ol th ' internal situation and home polities, so as to avoid pop ular dissatisfaction and political unrest. The Spanish people, though s ; i> cerely desirous of peace, are ds posed to adm're this hesitancy and tenacious holding out until the last, although aware that >t implies’greater sacrifices. As an illustration of this feel ing, while General Total is blamed for capitulating at Santiago. Cap tain General Augusti, continuing a hopele-s resistance, at Manila, bid? fair to he a popular hero.

Hoosevelt and Other Ameri can Generals JOIN IN A ROUND ROBIN. Clamor for the Removal of Fa ver-ridden Army. Washington, August 5.—C01. Theodore Roosevelt, of the Roti Ji Riders, has succeeded m hurrying the movement of the war department in fetching Sha'\er’s army away from San ti go, though in his disregard of the conventionalities he has drawn upon his head a rathei sharp rebuke from the secretary of war, who evidently regards the Coti - se pun tied by Colonel Roosevelt as being calculated to injure discipline, though inspir ed by the most worthy motives. It is only fair to state that th war department for some time has b en intent upon removing the troops, and it is now more than a week ago that Gen. Shaf ter was instructed by a special cablegram to cheer up the sol dier . by publicly informing them of this determination. It was rather a question of ways and means than lack of intention to redeem this promise that caused delay. As far as the question of re moving to the mountains was concerned —the question which s ems to have predicitated the indignation meeting among the American commanders at San tiago —it is learned that the medical department here made no such recommendation. All it had to say on this subject was that if the troops must remain near Santiago, an efiort should he made to remove them at once to some healthier camping ground. Surgeon General Sternberg agrees thoroughly with the opin ion expressed by the signers of the ‘‘round robin” at Santiago, that the men who have suffered from the severe malarial fevers of the south Cuban coast, so far from being immune from attacks of yellow fever, as has beenjs s rted in some quarters, are ac tually in very much greater dan ger than those who have escaped the malaria. < Malarial fever, it is stated, is no more a protection against a subsequent attack of yellow fever than would be a case of measles against smallpox, while the fearful debility resulting from the malarial fever would certainly tend to make the victim an especial mark for yellow j ack. Tho department today gave out a statement of its resources .n the way of transports at San tiago, and also as an incident in that direction that the troops cannot ba withdrawn as a whole until the Spanish troops are dis posed of. Otherwise there is no certainty that finding themselves able to do so, the Spaniards would overpower the captors, repossess themselves of Santiago and thus lose to the American armv the small foothold in Cuba which it has cost too much blood , .. .. . . ~ ~ T. _ ———W— FOME GEORGIA, FRIDAY,* EVENING, AUGUST- 5. |B9B. IN THE NEGK. Alger Hits Col. Roosevelt of tfie Rough Riders. A DESERVED REBUKE. Dimes Pouring in to Build a NeAZ Maine. Washington, August s.—The following correspondence has passed between Col. Roosevelt and Secretary Alger: “Santiago, July 23, 1898. My Dear Mr. Secretary—l am wri ting with the knowledge and ap proval of Gen. Shafter. We earnestly hope that you will send us—mos of the regulars, and at any rate, the cavalry di vision, including the Rough Riders, who are as good as any regulars and three times as good as any state troops—to Porto Rico. There are 1,800 effective men in this division. If those who were left behind were join ed to them, we could land at Porto Rico, in this cavalry di vision, close to 4,000, who would be worth easily any 10,000 na tional guards armed with black powder Springfields or odmr archaic weapons. Very respect fully, “Theodore Roosevelt.” The following was cabled to Col. Roosevelt today: “Your letter of the 23rd is re ceived. The regular army, the volunteer army and the Rough Riders have done well, but I suggest that unless you want to spoil the effects and gl try of your victory you make no in vidious comparisons. The R m Ji Riders are no better th t i oHi r volunteers. They had an idv til lage in their arms, for which they ought to be very grateful. “R. A. Alger, Secretary ol War.” BREAK ENDLESS CHAIN. Dimes are Pouring in to Build a Maine. Washington, August 8 Dimes have been peuring into the navy department upon Sec retary Long, contributed by pa triotic Americans who want to build a battleship to replace the Maine. Somebody, the secretary does not know whom, started an end less chain to this end and the secretary is doing his best to break the chain. To such of the contributors as give their address he is return ing the money with a note in forming them that he has no authority under the law to re ceive it, and that the object is to be otherwise provided for as congress has specifically appro priated money for the construc tion of another battleship to be known as the Maine. and money to secure. It Is, however, the expectation that all of the American troops will have been removed from Santiago to the. United States by the end of this month, and th at is probably the very beet that can be done under the cir cumstances. - .
