Deafness Cannot he Cured.

WHAT WE HAVE 1NpoRTo RICO

There is at least one result of
the war about which there is abb
solute and universal agreement.
Whatever may be the fate of the
Philippines, the Ladrones. and
the Carolines, or whatever the
concessions to Cuban insurgents,
Porto Rico is to be ours, wholly
and Immediately. 1t is therefore
not too soon to take count of
stock and see just what we have
laid hands on.
Perhaps the most notable adj
vantage of this island is that, al
though tropical, it is wholly ex-
empt from the usual scourges of
a tropical country. 1t has no
yellow fever or other disease pc
culiar tc the tropics.
To form an intelligent concep-
ton of the island from our
American point of view it may be
compared with our states. It's
area is $3.50 square miles. This
is smaller than any state in the
Union with two exceptions
Rhode Island and Delaware. But
in population we have no fewer
than eighteen states which are
smaller than the island. They

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent.


WASHINGTON. D. c., Ang. 5, 1898.
Spain did not surprise anybody,
when it cabled to the French am
bassador, who is representing it
in Washington during the peace
preliminaries, to ascertain wheth-
er it could attach string to it's
acceptance of the terms of peace
offered by President Mckinley
it was SO thoroughly Spanish.
The French ambassador knew
that the terms offered were in the
nature of an ultimatun and so
informed Spain. There is no
room for any trickery, consequent
lys nothing but plain sailing is
now looked for. AS soon as the
government of Spain formally
accepts the terms of peace, which
it has already unofficially accept
ed, peace commissioners will be
named by President Mckinley to
meet like commissioners repre-
sentiug Spain and proceed to the
negotiation of a treaty of peace;
and a cessation of hostilities will
be ordered. While, of course, no
one can do more than guess how
long it will take to negotiate that
treaty, it is the general expecta-
tion in official circles that it will
require several months, owing to
the difficulty likely to be expert
enced in reaching a satisfactory
agreement as to the Philippine
islands. Should the treaty not
be signed before November, the
senate will not be called in extra
session to ratify the treaty, as no
harm would be done by waiting
for the regular session in Decem-
Der.
President Mckinley has taken
occasion to express his gratitude
for the cordial support given him
in the conduct of the war by the
press, regardless of politics, and
he thinks it will be of incalcula-
bic benefit to the country by
showing to the world that how
ever much we may differ among
ourselves as to domestic policies,
we are all Americans when it
comes to confronting a foreign
foe.
The figures in Assistant Secre-
tary Howe1l's statement of the
receipts and expenditures of the
government for the last fiscal
year are very interesting. Not
withstanding the additions to the
receipts of S64,751,223, received
by the government from the sale
of Pacific railroads. the expendi-
tnres exceeded the receipts of the
year by S3s,O47, ,247. Not count
ing the Pacific railroad money
the deficit was S98,294, ,1os. Mr..
Howell says this large deficit was
partly accounted for by war ex-
penditures, which he estimates to
have been $50, 100000 during the
last four months of the fiscal year.
Accepting his figures, that during
the last five months of the fiscal
year the receipts Of the govern,
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1898-08-11

ment exceeded its expenditures,
on a peace basis, by more than
S9,0OO.O00, the deficit would have
been slightly in excess of S42,-
000,0 tor the year, had there
been no war.
All of the auxiliary cruisers,
except the Harvard and the Yale,
are to be released to their owners
by the government as fast as pos
sible, there being no further use
for them, owing to Spain having
practically no navy left, even
should there be a hitch before
peace is assured by the formal
signing of a treaty between the
two governments, and the ex-
pense of keeping them in comalis-
sion being very heavy.
One of the most curious fea-
tures of the present situation is
that with peace with Spain in
sight the administration should
be preparing to send heavy REIN
forcements to Gen. Merritt. The
Spanish at Manila, as elsewhere,
are already sufficiently whipped,
but those re-inforcements are
are necessary to enable Gen. Mer-
rlt to successfully cope with
Agui1laldo, whose successes at
Manila have made him a danger
Gus leader for the semi -barbarous
Philippine insurgents, as the
latest information makes 1t al
most certain that he will dispute
American possession Of Manila
and the island of Luzon with
force. The terms of peace pro-
vide that we shall hold Manila
and Manila Bay until a peace
commission decides upon the flu
ture government of the Philip
pine islands. In order to hold
Manila we must also hold enough
of the country back Of it to pro-
tect the source of it's water sup
ply, and it is now regarded as too
much of a task to impose upon
the present force under Gen. Mer-
will only have 20, 900 men
when all thettroops now on the
way reach him. Members of the
administration admit that they
are much perplexed oyer the
problem of what to do with Agui-
naldo, but they say that the solu-
ton must be found by this goy-
ernment alone. The belief is
growing in Washington that
Aguinaldo is receiving secret en-
couragement from one or more
European governments, which
hope to so mix the Philippine
mess that they can get their fin
gers into it before it is done with.
They may get them badly
squeezed, too.
More troops are being sent to
Porto Rico, to share in the enjoy
ment of being welcomed by the
Porto Ricans, with those already
with Gen. Miles. There is little
probability of any more fighting
over there.
Turner County herald. (Hurley, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-19??, 1898-08-11

No more troops will be sent to-
Porto Rico, IS Gen. Miles reports
that he has sufficient force to
conquer the island.
