The plan was to strike the Tanana
about 275 miles up. and then leave by
pack and canoe to the mouth of the
stream. 1t was expected this point
would be reached between the -1st and
9th of September, and from there the
journey was to be continued down the
Yukon to ST. Michael, the rendezvous
of the several parties on their home
ward journey They expect to come
together at ST. Michael about Septem-
Der 10th. 1t was anticipated that three
miles day would be rapid progress
in the journey to the Tanana.

The Untranslatable "Get There"

What gives me most trouble" said

ample, difficult. When / saw your in
fantry going forward against the op-
posing troops in the forts and intrench-
ments, L said to the officer with me
that the infantry should not attempt
such a movement without the artillery.
You're right he told me, but the boys
will get there At night, when we were
all so hungry, l ventured to inquire if
a further movement were contem-
plated till your army was provisioned.
Then the officers, who were gentle
manly, all laughed, and said the army
would think about rations when they
got there The second day we met
many of your wounded men coming
back as we We're going forward. When
the Colonel asked them about the
fighting, so many times / heard them
say We got there. And afterwards
also l heard those words used very
often. But it is so difficult for me to
explain so my own people will under
stand it, what nature of tactics is get

SPAIN ADMITS THE TRUTH.
WAS FORCED TO YIELD TO OUR
DEMANDS.
Text Of the Bill Authorizing the
Government to Conclude Peace
With the United States.

LONDON. Sept 9-According to the
Madrid correspondent of the Times"
the following is the text of the bill au-
thorizing the Government to conclude
peace:
The reverses suffered by our arms
in the unequal struggle to which we
were driven in order to defend the hon
or of the nation and maintain it's rights
deprived us at any early stage of the
elements required for continuing the
war.
The bravery of our soldiers and
sailors proved insufficient as did the
calm attitude of the nation. ever ready
to shed its blood and sacrifice it's re-
sources for the honor of the Spanish
flag.
separated by wide seas from the
territories it was our object to protect,
and these territories being closely
blockaded so that our few remaining
ships could not reach them, her majes-
tvs Government has been compelled
to admit the bitter truth that an end
must be put to the war.
THE sense of responsibility entailed
by the preliminary negotiations had
weighed heavily on the Government.
Notwithstanding it fully appreciated
its duty toward the country, the Gov
eminent has had to consent to these
preliminary negotiations and to bow to
the cruel sacrifices imposed by sheer
necessity.
For this reason, and because peace
must be purchased at the cost of a
cessiOn of territory and the abandon
ment Of sovereign rights, the Govern
ment has thought it expedient to sound
the Cortes before concluding the treaty,
the ratification of which will be duly
notified to both chambers in accord
ance with constitutional law.
''The Government, whose moderate
language will not be found fault with
by the representatives of the nations,
limits itself to submitting to the Cor
tes the following bill, whose first and
only article is:
'The Government is authorized to
renounce rights of sovereignty and to
cede territory in the Spanish colonies
in accordance with the peace prelim-
inaries agreed upon with the Govern
ment of the United States of America"

bill is signed by all the Minister'S

TWO BALL GAMES TODAY.
Both Between the Gilt Edges and
StOcktons,

AT Snowflake Park this afternoon,
beginning at 1:15 o'clock, the Gilt
Edges and Stockton baseball teams will
play two games for one single admis-
sion. 1t was at first intended to play
to-day and tomorrow, but owing to
other attractions the managers decided
to play both games to-day believing
that a larger attendance would be had
at the games.
The games to-day, to say the least,
ought to be very interesting, as the
Stockton aggregation has of late been
playing as good ball as any team in the
league. They defeated the crack Ath-
letics last Sunday and on Saturday Sc
verely drubbed the San Francisco team
The two new men, Pace and Hartman,
who have up to last week been playing
with the Seattle team in the Pacific
Northwest League, are players with
well-authenticated regulations Pace
is we'll known here as first-class
backstop, and his throwing to bases is
wonderfully accurate. His helpmate,
Chief Borchers. will pitch the first
game, and Borchers is a whole show by
himself. He is pitching superb ball Of
late, and will probably make the Gifts
hustle to win. Harvey will do the can
nonading for the localsin the first game,
and Reliable" Matt Stanley will re-
ceive his hot shot.
The second game will be called i'm
mediately after the terminat ton of the
first contest. The teams will line up
nearly the same as in the first, with the
exception of the batteries Knell and
Pace will be in the points for the Wis.,
itors and Doyle and Stanley will do the
honors for the Gifts. In Pace, Bor-
cheers, Selma, Smith, Billings, Muller.
