kh
ranks of Thei American arhiy in Cuba
Mr.. H.
L. Beach, who 'represented the

line at Santiago and who has j ustj re
turned! to Chicago, made the state
ment as follows: , .' i
j'lts an i actual fact1 somethurg 1
saw with' my own eyes that our ai!my
ambulances were used to carry Cuban
refugees who had fled from Santiago
and who were carrying the germs, of
the dread fever with them. The peo
ple waued through the. mud and Were
packed!" up by i ambulances. Then bur
sick and wounded were hauled in fthe. I
same ambulances; but worst of all, it
seems to me; is the: fact that the com
missary wagons, which always -were
going to Siboney and back, : carrying J
food, weirtrout i with food and return
ed with .refugees : and " went back
again Soadod withi food. No yellow
fever appeared in the army before jthe
lines were opened to those people ftfom
Santiago, and Dr. Ducker, of Chicgij,
who was with the correspondent "told
us justv two days before fever appear

THE PERPLEXING

TO THE PHITPPfi.'i
The

should be the nature of the
required of Spa'vn j that the

innus in Its character t These tun
questions' hingeii on the' .primary rde-
ision to interfere; nt all in jtrescribing
a: change in the conditions irt thi Phil
ippines.: Some oj the: cabinet) felt that,
the . insurgents under Agmnsildo -having
acted indepenientlv (if tfve United
States from the very beginning of the
insurrectionary movements; and having
lately, shown a Imposition to : make
trouble i for us, had nri nmral claim
upon the I'nited 'states in tjh setth-4
ment of terms of ;i peace. On the . oth
er hand, it was urged that our government-
should (lose no; opportunity
t6 extend its principles throughout the
world and that this would beidone-best
in the present case by r-(?quling Spain
to' extend 'autonomy to., the Philippines.
It was jupon just such points as this
that the discussion proceeded all day..-.

NO FOREIGN INTERFERENCE
AND NO ARMISTICE- '
A point which was quickly established
was that there should be no reference
of any ; phase of the iuestion-of the
disposition ;of thet islands to any- con
cert pr individual action by, outside
powers. ; , , i i .
Another ; point J that - was settled,
though there was-'no forfnal . action, on
it,! was- th,at" no (protest aga'inst ithe
continuance i of .military or naval ;opR
erations pend'ingi: i the peacfe negotia-r
tions would avail Jn;the sltghtestj that
there would be . no armistice, no sus
pension of operations por any rhodifl
catlon whatever of present plans until
the Spanish government had agreed to
the terms' proposed. : j r

Somrji .discussion; was.'i had -as to. the
