The President spent a qniet mcrning, not many callers putting in their appeararce. Secretary Alger and Attorney Gereral Gri were with the President for a good while. When he went in Gen- eral Alger said that there was nothing new from the front, except the telegram relat- ing to the exchange of Lieutenant Hobson. It was generally understood that Admiral Cervera would not be exchanged for Hub- son. The navy has in its p jon many Spaniards of the same grade as Lieutenant Hobson and the others of his crew, and se will be exchanged. It is thought that an exchange may be made this after- the ricans will be anxivus to ‘on his liberty. Suppiles for Shafter. Seeretary Alg:r said this afternoon that the question of gettirs.abundant supplies to Gen. Shafter is almcst as important as getting reinforcements to him. The War Department has. worked hard to get these supplies aw and Szcretary Alger told the President this afternoon what had been en the St. Paul leaves New York to- she will carry canvas suits for every sidier at Santiago. Secretary Alger is- a imperative orders recently that thou- sands of these light uniforms should be im- mediately got ready and sent to’ New York. He had r oticed that the soldiers had thrown a y their heavy uniforms when going into and h2 sympathized deeply with them. ‘The St. amount of supp! will carry a tremendous of all kinds, including ainties for the sick and wound-, Paul tents and ed. Schley or Sampson. id by high officials teday that the as to whether Sampson or should be honored for the victo-y ever the Spanish squadron at Santiago is Ukely to become embarrassing to the ad- ministration. President McKinley will have to make a recommendation to Congress. He has not given conside: n to the matter yet, but it is probable that the discussion will be- come so warm as to reach him before it ends. Congressional callers at the White House and depariments are endeavoring to re- frain from giving opinions, as they will be called upon to pass upon the question later. Premotions for Gallant Conduct. It ig understood that the President will soon make y promotions from the Kst of men who made herces of themselves in the Santiago battles. Officers and pri- vates will not be forgotten. Gen. Shafter will soon send in a list of the men who distinguished themselves. Some cf the brave young fellows will be promoted as high as bi ier generals. The President has under censideration places to which he can assign t Senater F today to urge from his state who distinguished ves. merican Regiment n of prominent German-Ameri- cens have come to the city from Chicago to urge the Pri t to accept the services of merican regiment raised in their city and equipped for work at the front. he del tion wiil see the Presi- dent and put before him re to have this regiment accepted as a token of their loyalty to the flag of their adopted country. The German-Ameri- | cans of Chicago have raised thousands of ollars to put the regiment in first-class pe,and the government would be at little preliminary expense.

WOULD FACE TERRIFIC FIRE. ms Entrance Into » Hae! id to be xo ob tacle, so far as ation is concerned, to the entrance of or of Santiago by the American e Cristobal Colon, which cieared rimac and got out of the harbor a twenty-three feet three uches, which is within seven inches of the ft of the battle ships Towa, Indiana, achuseits and Oregon, and is greater n the draft of the battle ship Texas. Moreover, the Navy Department has known for the last ten days that the neck of the snnel was open, despite the sinking of the Merrimac,and that there was a ciear seaway of seven fathoms, through which apy ship In our navy could sail. This re- moves all di:ficulty, except from submarine shore batteries. As to the mines, little account is taken em siace the Sparish fleet passed over m. The Spaniards cre in the habit of using: conta:t mines, fo that there 1s little likelihood of there beirg mines operated by electric connection with the shore. The ferts and batteries have been badly weak- ered by constant fire of the fleet for many weeks past, and while still a factor, they are greatly disabled. Once up te the city, the fleet and army could combine in a terrific double fire. No less than 292 heavy guns would be trained from the American werships on the city, and at the same time the big siege guns which it is expected have been brcught to the front of ter’s line would rain down a tor- rent of steel from that quarter. The siege ns throw shells of 135 pounds. Aside them are four Morton howitzers and a large number of smaller howitzers. These are in the heavy artillery, while the light artillery embraces a great number of guns of 3.2 caliber. Combined, this fire from land and sea would be terrific in effect.

Cireular Issued by the Telephone Subscribers’ Association — Experi- ence of a Coilector in Georgetown. In view of th> recent legislation by Con- gress in regard to telephone rates, a circu- lar, signed by Henry F. Woodard, secre- tary, is being sent to the members of the Telzphone Subscribers’ Association of the District of Columbia. ‘Phe circular begins with a copy of the act of Congress, which is: “Provided, That from and after the pas- sage of this act it shall be unlawful for any person or any telephone company do- ing business in the District of Columbia to charge or recziye more than $50 per annum for the use of a telephone on a separate vire; 40 for each telephone, there being not more than two on a wir2; $30 for each telephone, there being not more than three cn a wire, and $25 for each telephene, there being four or mor? on the same wire.” Mr. Woodard then says: “Tne attorneys for oue association svg- gest to members: “First. Persons or firms who made con- tracts with the telephone company for one year, and whose contracts have not yet >x- pired, are advised to pay the company’s charges under protest and reserving all le- gal rights. “Second. Persons and firms whose year- ly contracts have expired, and hav: not been renewed, will notify the company that they desire to terminate their contracts at the expiration of ten days next after th2 receipt of such notice by the company, and should request a bill and pay the charges up to and including the date of said ter- mination. “Third. Persons or firms who have lim- ited call contracts can terminat the same by notice in accordance with their terms. “Fourth. Assuming that contracts have been duly terminated subscribers are ad- vised to signify to the telephone company their intention to r2-contract for telephone service under existing law and send the company $12.50 in money, in advance for the first quarter's service. “Fifth. Non-subscribers desiring _tele- phones should tend2r the company $12.50 in money, in advance for first quarter's ser- vice, and request that the instrument be put in. “Sixth. Evidences of all communications Sent to the company should be preserved.” Removal of Receiver. It is understood that a telephone sub- ecriber has notified the company that he would terminate his contract after ten days, and in acknowledging the receipt of this .communication he was informed by the company that his telephone would be removed upon the expfration of that time. It is proposed to ask for an injunction to prevent the company from removing its telephone in cases where the rate fixed by Congress has been tendered. In this way the new law will be tested. it has also been suggested that injunc- tion proceedings could be begun to compel the company to furnish a service when the terms of the law have been complied with on the part of a prospective subscriber. Collector on His Rounds. The collector of the telephone company visited Georgetown this morning to make the quarterly collections for the service. Bills made out at the old rate had been previously rendered by mail. The collector demanded payment at the old rates, where- upon a number of the subscribers, repre- senting the largest institutions im George- town, produced the new law just passed by Congress regulating the price of ‘phone service. ‘The collector visited the establishment of Cropley, Boteler & Cramrton, dealers in agricultural implerents, on M street, this morning. Under the old law the company paid at the rate of $85 per annum for the telephone service, but under the new law only $25 would be required. The quarterly Ppeyment was made by Mr. Boteler of the firm, who paid In cash, giving $12.50 more than the new law allows. To a Star re- porter Mr. Roteler stated that he paid the mcney, not knowing of the new law at the time, though ten minutes afterward he was aware of it. He immediately made a demand for a refund of the overpayment, but this was refused. * “I telephoned Mr. Bryan,” said he, “but he refused to accept money under the new law. He also refused to take the telephone out. He further stated that he would not refund the money unless the courts de- creed that he should. We do not intend to lcse the money,” said Mr, Boteler, ir con- clusion. A Grocer’s Action. = In another instance the case of a well- held, payment for the full amount was made under the oid rates. As soon as the mistake was discovered a telephone mes- Sage was sent to the bank directing that the check be not paid when presented. Later the check was returned, and the sub- seriber turned over to the collector the re- ceipt which had been received. At the First Co-operative Building Asso- ciation the collector was tendered a check for $12.50, the quarterly amount due under the new law. The collector accepted the check and wanted to give a receipt on ac- count, but this was not accepted. Later in the day the collector returned and wanted to return the check, but the treasurer of the association reftised’ to accept it. In a good mang cases the old rate was paid without any question being raised at the time, but not being aware of the law as now existing others made a lively kick, and the life of the collector was made any- thing but pleasant during the afternoon. Jt is understood the citizens intend to combine and fight the company. If an at- tempt is made to take out the telephones from the different places of business, an in- junction will be applied for; and in case service is refused suits for damage will be filed. ——— RAIN TONIGHT.

Many Factions and Many Complaints— Friends and Critics of Army, Navy and Officials. There is an immense amcunt of talk in congressional circles about rivalry between the War and Navy Departments and be- tween individuals in each branch of the service. In some quarters Secretary Alger is criticized on the score that he is inter- fering with the plans of Gen. Miles and that the management of the army opera- ticns is characterized by haste, confusion and lack of preparation. On the other hand, defenders of Secretary Alger declare that the navy is.trying to get all the glory cut of the war, and will not give proper sesistance to Gen. Shafter. The political strategists who indulge in this criticism of the navy cemplain because Admiral Samp- scn does not disregard the Spanish mines and fortifications defending the harbor of Santiago and force his way in. Then there is a controversy in congres- sional circles over the question whether Ad- miral Sampson or Commodore Schley should have credit for the destruction of the Cer- vera fizet. There ts the Sampson faction and the Schley faction; the army faction and the navy faction; the Miles faction and the Alger faction, all criticising some one, in spite of the fact that the navy has found victory on every occasion presented, and that the army has not had a reverse. In army and navy circles the evidence of such rivalry ts not apparent, and less emotional men in Congress who have close relations with both departments say that there is no occasion tor any contention and that ther is no faction that affects the service in any way. Secretary Alger, it is said by them, Is in- clined to criticise the navy for not having Sampson go at once into Santiago harbor, but the policy of the administration Is op- posed to unnecessary risks by either the army or the fleet. The original object of the Operations at Santlago has been accom- plished in the destruction of the Cervera filet, and as long as Gen. Shafter is able to hold the Spanish forces where they are there 1s, they say, no need of extraordinary haste in taking the city before our rein- forcements ,hav> arrived, all our big guns in service and the army amply provisioned. It is aleo suggested by defenders of the navy that whatever controversy there may be over the situation is excited by a desire to cover up the possible mistake of the army in having gone ahead too hastily. ——_—___-e. MANY OFFICERS LAID UP. Generals, Including Shafter, Suffering From Severe Indisposition. Gen. Shafter’s army is laboring at some dieadvantage, not only on account of the intense heat and the shock of a great bat- tle, but also on account of the loss and dis- ability of so many officers. While none of the general officers has been wounded, no less than five of them are ill, and were they at home, would be in bed. Gen. Shafter himself is suffering from a severe inudispo- sition, His condition, according to last re- ports, was sumewhat improved, but it is netable that ke directed the first day's fight from a cot on which he was lying. Gen. Joe Wheeler, in command of the cavalry division, wes very seriously il, but when the battle began insisted, against the protests of his surgeon, that he be taken to the frent. He went in an ambu- lance, but when he arrived on the field he mounted his horse and personally directed the operations of his men. Gen. Young, Gen. Hawkins and Actirg rigadier General Wood of the rough riders are ill, but it is understood that their condi- tion is not serious. The heavy loss of officers is due to the dash and bravery of the officers t! Instance after instance has been disclosed springing in front of their com- them in brilliant sorties against the encmy. Quite naturally, the Spanish sharpshooters singled out the offi- cers as targets, and the result was that the American forces suffered particularly hea’ ily in this respect. 2 s —_—_—_o+___ Mr. Berry’s Resolution Indorsed.

NEARLY ALL ARE REGULARS The Percentage of Officers Among Them is Very Heavy. NO DEATHS ON THE ee. WAY Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. KEY WEST, Fla., July 6—The arrival last night of the transport Iroquoi: 320 sick and wounded men from day's fight near Santiago, furnished which will never be forgotten by those w witnessed it. It brought ail observers ve near to the gruesomeness of war. All save a half hundred or so were abie to walk with or without assistance to the carriages, ambulances and street cars, pro- vided for their transportation to th pital buildings, which have been p:. pared for their reception. A few were able to make the trip on foot. Stretchers were needed for the removal of some of the more seriously injured. Most of the sufferers were men of the regular army, but there were a few from the Tist New York, the 2d Massachusetts and the Rough Riders. The percentage of officers wounded is heavy. No journey is easy for those who are sick and suffering, but the trip was made with no greater discomfort than would be ex- Perienced in a field hospital, and no serious results followed it in any case. There were no deaths on the way, and there is no ap- Parent aggravation of wounded. The Cherokee, with another detachmént of men seriously wounded, will follow at once. It is to be hoped that better arrange- ments for landing will be made than was the case with the Iroquois, with t Fri- hos- Delay in Landing. [Copyright, 1898, by the Associated Press. ] KEY WBST, Fla., July G—The bx health authorities have granted pc to land the wounded from the Irognois surgeon, in charge of the wounded, ert. ed in the course of an interview that the most of those on board were injured in the first day's fight, last Friday, when a gen- eral engagement occurred all along the line. These me are the milder cases, sent to Key West 2» make room for the large numbers being brought into camp from the field. Most of them will be ready for duty in a month or six weeks. There are only a few seriously wounded on board. The sur- geon said all would be placed in hospitals here instead of being sent north. Considerable delay in landing was caused by the steamer grounding on a bank, where she lay for two hours. Hundreds of sol- diers and sailors, with citizens, met her at the wharf, inquiring as to friends in Cuba. Several other transports are en route to Key West with. wounded. There is much excitement in the —— CAPT. LOEFFLER’S POSITION. Will Held an Office Created for Him by Congress. Charles Loeffier, for over twenty-nine years doorkeeper to Presidents at the White House, is now a captain of the United States army, having been nomi nated by th2 President as military store- keeper in the quartermaster’s department. The position was created especially for him by Congress and at the desire of the Presi- dent. Capt. Loeffler has been in government service forty years, having begun as a sol- dier of Uncle Sam in 1 His first ser- vice was in Indian mpaigns in the west, where he was under Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, then coionei and lieutenant, respectively, During the civil war he served with distinction on special duty, becoming a sergeant. Just after the assassination of President Linco! Ca Loeffier was detailed as messeng a doorkeeper for Secretary Stanton. He re mained in this position in the meat until Ger. Grant wes elected Pre dent. Gen. Grant made Capt. Loeffier doorkeeper, and he still holds that position. He will not leave the position, and in about three years w be retired. Capt. Loefflzr’s personal acquaintance with public men is probably larger than | that of any man in the United States, as during his long service he has rec cards of callers upon the Presideats, is his business to ascertain whether a visitor should be admitted, and it is said of him that he never once admitted the His politeness is proverbi; whom h2 decides can not see the President.

Col. Ruffin stated that beside the two battalions from the District of Colum- bia, there were two companies in Mary- land, consisting of two hundred and fitty men, and two companies from the state of New Jersey, with one major in the person of Mr. A.
