Spaniaris Say They are Anx
ioils to Fight.
WOULD RESUME TfiE WAR
And Say They Believe They
Could Retain Cuba.
Washington, Oct. 18.—Infor
mation reached the war depart
ment ‘.hat a high officer of the
Spanish army very recently
made a statement that Lad the
Spaniards been aware of the
condition of the army, its inabil
ity to wsthstand the hardships
of a campaign, its lack of medi
cal and other supplies and gen
eral efficiency as told in the
American papers, the Spaniards
would not have given up, but
would have continued fighting
for a long time to come, fully be
lieving that they would have
been able to prevent the capture
of Cuba by American arms.
This statement is known to
have been made to the American
officers now in Cuba and causes
some uneasiness in official cir
cles as it may mean that the
Spaniards are not yet ready to
yield the island under the terms
of the protocol.
It is believed by officials in
Washington that had it not been
for the outcry made regarding
the army and the conduct of the
war there never would have been
any question raised by the
Spanish peace commissioners re
garding the Cuban debt. It is
pointed out under the protocol
sole question left for the
mission was the settlement
of the Philippines and that noth-
ing was said about the Cuban
debt or any other Cuban ques
tion .
By those who are in aposition
to know it is asserted that the
Madrid government was aware
when it asked for peace and
when negotiations were opened
that it was useless to ask that
the Cuban debt be taken into
consideration by any commis
sion and that i' is only since the
reports of the bad condition of
United States army has reached
Madrid that the question has
been raised.
Another matter that causes
. grave consideration in the war
j department is the temper of the
■ Spaniards in Cuba aud the fear
> that the impression which now
> prevails there may lead them to
regard the American troops of
> not much account and act ac
cordingly after the occupancy by
- the United States.
> The matter has been discussed
> in the war department and it is
t, probable that when the troops
; are sent to Cuba there will be a
■ force of such size and character
> as to give the islanders a differ-
> ent impression of the United
States soldiers than they now
i entertain.
“The impression among the
• Spaniards in Cuba,” said an
officer in position to Know what
is going on, “is that the Ameri
can soldiers are weak and puny,
incapable of withstanding hard
ships and whom it will oe an
easy matter to vanquish.
“This feeling may make it
j difficult for the Americans at
first. The impression is due to
the charges that have been made
against the war department
with such virulence and insist
ence during • the past few
months.”
It has bacome evident that
the troops when sent to Cuba
must be isolated for some time

in their camps to avoid the
danger of infection and the de
partment is not quite clear that
any useful purpose will be serv
ed by placing soldiers where
their services cannot be availa
ble. While the wet season has
now almost reached its end in
Cuba, it is said that the yellow
fever is more prevalent and
dangerous in type just now than
any time during the year. These
conditions, however, will not
continue long.
A proposition now under con
sideration looks to the employ
ment of the Cubans as logical
gendarms, it being urged that
they would be more serviceable
in maintaining order in the
towns than American soldiers,
unacquainted with the Spanish
language and Cuban customs.
The United States government
in this way also would, be able
by the payment of small salaries
to these men to considerably re
lieve the distress that exists on
the island without breading a
class of professional paupers or
lowering the pride of the Cu
bans.

The story of a year ago is still

when the three McCullum boys
searched the country fur their

She was young, accomplished
and pretty and left home one af

never heard from again. Fuul

never wayward and had an excel

Persistently her brothers search

and visiting other cities until con
tinued disappointment brought on
despairing reckle-sness that grad
ually made them easy subj eta for
consumption.

the brothers, died at his home Sui •
