in the Ladrones. The United States
will occupy and hold the city, bay and
harbor of Manila, pending the conclu-
sion of treaty of peace which shall
determine the control, disposition and
government of the PHILIPPINES.
Some reference has been made in
the dispatches of British newspapers
to desire on the part of the Spanish
government to include in the prelim-
mary agreement clause exempting it
from liability from the Cuban debt.
The formal statement of the points
of the United States note given out
from the white house made no refer
ence to this subject and it cannot be
known as yet whether or not the full
text shows anything more. But pre-
suming that no reference whatever is
made to the Cuban debt it is possible
the subject may be regarded as one
that should be treated by the peace
commissioners who are to meet later
to frame the treaty, which, of course,
will embody many details that are left
untouched in the main proposition,
though cabinet officers have authorized
the statement that no part of the
Cuban or Porto Rican debts would be
assumed by the United States.

the officials at the capital are proceed
ing under the conviction that the end
has come and are giving attention to
the steps to be taken next. In view
of the delay in coming TO this conclu-
sion the idea was beginning to prevail
that the Spanish government was
about to enter a plea in abatement,
and that the answer would again be
inconclusive.
The president did not modify the
original peace terms in the least, and
the acceptance by Spain must be on
the following basis, the synopsis Of
the terms being officially stated by
President Mckinley:
"The president does not now put
forward any claim for pecuniary in
demnity, but requires the relinquish-
ment of all claims of sovereignty over
or title to the island Of Cuba, as we'll

CUBANs FILE CLAIMS.

They Want United States to Pay Damages
inflicted BY spaniards.
The announcement that the United
States government will assume liability
for the claims Of the insurgents against
the Spanish government on account Of
injuries and damages sustained in the
Cuban instruction has caused the
filing Of large number Of claims with
the state department.
Very many of these are not based
upon events occurring during the last
rebellion, but date back for many
years and relate to excessive custom
collections, damages sustained through
municipal maladministration, alleged
illegal confinement and such things.

bywaya, the lack Of sanitary arrange
meuts and drainage Of any descrip-
tlon are all matters that will require
remedying If the place Is to become

mombered that the weeks Of blockade,
the fear Of bombardment, the scarcity
Of food and the general domoraliza-
ton existing IN q besioged town have
done much to odd 10 the conditions Of
NTH and poor sanitation that normally
prevail.
For generations the people have
lived regardless Of the first rule Of
hygiene, the lower classes are ignorant
OF oil precautionary measures, and it
Is not surprising when our American
officers issue an order through the
civil governor Of Santiago stating that
oil houses must al once be thoroughly
cleaned, inside aud out, the order is
disregarded.
Orders are constantly issued TO the
people 10 report at once the death Of
any one in their household and threats
Of fine and enforced labor as a punish

measures will have to be taken to
bring about proper condition of af-
fairs in this respect and it will take
many months of example aud strin-
gent enforcement OF regulations TO
bring the people to an observance Of
what is clearly best for ther health.

In response to an invitation extend

Hobson's home, Admiral Cervera
writes, saying:

am receiving at the hands of the Amer

ut would be gratifying to me to
accept your invitation to visit Green's
boro, where was born the brave Lieu
tenant Richmond Pearson Hobson, but
it will be impossible for me to do so,
for as soon as the war is ended, it will
be obligatory upon me to return i'm
mediately to Spain to account for my
conduct, which must be judged as pro
vided for by the law. Nevertheless,
shall not fail to carry through all my

The pronunciation by tho American
actress, Miss Annie Russell, of the
word medicine, " in three syllables,
Is condemned by the London Truth
as an error. The Encyclopedia Die
.tionary says that the first ''i' is silent,
making the pronunciation "medsiu. ="
Btormonth's Dictionary again gives
medicine, " and says that "med-sin"
is familiar, or, in other words, vulgar.
Both these authorities are English, so
that Miss Russell may be not so alto
gether wrong as Truth intimates.

Legion Asks PERMITS

Yellow fever has no terrors to the
Canadian-American legion, of Chicago,
and its officers and men are eager to
fill the places of those driven from the
front by the plague. Many of the
men are fever immunes, having served
in the British army in Egypt, India,
South America and the West Indies.
At a meeting of the officers Saturday
the following telegram was sent to
Governor Tanner:

We cannot, of course, in this war
afford to initiate at any point the con-
duct which has for three centuries
made the name of Spaniard the syno-
nym for brutal ferocity, comments the
New York Press. But we should re-
member that we are fighting more
treacherous and savage foes than our
troops have met among the aborigines
OF Arizona, and that, unlike those un-
tutored warriors, they are armed with
the glib cant of remonstrance and
justification, which they have bor-
Eowed-the only thing that they have
borrowed-from their neighbors, the
really civilized nations of Western Eu-
rope. 1t is all clinical, we presume,
the fruit Of the one successful inva-
sion of Europe from Africa, and the
lingering there of this blood faint OF
the cruelty of desert tribes But
there it is and it is to be reckoned
with.

Our trade with Eastern Asia, CONT
aental and island, consists chiefly in
limple articles such as semi. barbarous
nations produce on the one hand and
use on the other. We sell China,
mineral oil, cotton cloth and wheat.
We sell the East Indies mineral oil.
To the more civilized natives on the
Pacific we sell our iron and steel man
ufactures. Japan, since it has as
sumed a place among civilized powers,
buys iron and steel manufactures.
from us and so does Australasia. The
lesson is that it is directly for the in
terest of our manufacturers and ex-
porters that Oriental countries shall
become civilized. The more civilized
they are the more Of our products
they will buy, and the greater the
number and diversity OF products
they will require.

TWO CAPTAINS RESIGN.

Their Regiment Was On Eve of Departure
For Santiago.
Two captains of Colonel Rays i'm
mune regiment resigned Friday and
their designations caused a great SEN
sation in Macon. The designations
coming on the eve of departure for
Santiago at a time when there is said
to be much anxiety on the part Of Off
GERS and privates, from the fact that
the regiment is ordered to the Cuban
city which is in the midst of a yellow
fever plague, has increased the sensa-
ton and excitement caused by the de-
termination on the part Of the officers
to return home.

Submitted to The Queen Regent by SagaSta
and Meets Her Concurrence.
THE FOUR BASES OF OUR PROPOSITION LAID
DOWN WERE NOT TOUCHED UPON.
The President Did Not Modify the Original Terms In the
Least, and the Acceptance By Spain Was Necessarily
On That Basis...OHiclaI Notification Awaited.

A Madrid special Of Sunday says.
The cabinet council terminated after
having completely approved the reply
to the United States, which, it is said, |
accepts the American conditions.
The reply will be telegraphed to
Senior Leon y Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador to France, so that NJ.
Cambon, the French ambassador at
Washington will receive it immedi-
ately.
The government is fully convinced
that the note will be satisfactory to
the Washington government, and that
a suspension of hostilities will be its
immediate consequences.
The queen regent has approved the
reply accepting the conditions laid
down by the United States.
From a well-informed source it is
learned that while the answer to the
United States terms does not dis
cuss the four bases which the United
States makes an essential preliminary
to peace, and which Spain accepts
without reservation, it points out
that in order to avoid the defritive
negotiations being in any way compli-
Gated by incidents of the war, it is ex-
pedient to agree beforehand to a sus-
pension Of hostilities.
1t is reported that Duke Almodovar
de Rio, the minister of foreign affairs,
and Monsignor Merry del Val, Span
ish ambassador to the vactican, will be
selected to represent Spain in the
negotiations.
The newspapers make no comments
on the situation owing to the strictness
of the censorship.
Senior Sagasta has submitted the an
swer to the queen regent and her ma
iesty approves the general lines, which
the premier fully explained to her.
The government believes that the
United States will accept SPANS an
swer, and as a consequence hostilities
will Immediately afterwards be sus-
pended.
AS the reply to the American terms
was only submitted to the queen regent
Saturday, all the reports of her pre-
vious approval Of the American de-
mands were necessarily without found
alton.
Contents of the Note.
According to the most reliable
sources of information the Spanish
note is couched in dignifed language
1t asserts that Spain bows to the force
of circumstances, having done nothing
to provoke the war, into which she
has been unwillingly led in the de-
Tense Of her rights and territory,
1t expresses q willingness to appoint
delegates to meet the American COM
missioners to discuss a regime for the
Philippines.
It is understood that both Senior
Sagasta and Duke Almodovar de Rio,
the foreign minister, the queen regent
that they felt deeply the painful duty
circumstances imposed upon them.

{ Public excitement over the war has
diverted attention from the course of
foreign trade, which is in some re-
spects strikingly different from any
thing hitherto experienced by US in
our dealings with other countries.
For the first ten months of the pres

chandise have reached the value Of
81, O25, APO, 681, while the imports for
the same period only foot up $511, 181, :

exports, we shipped silver to the value
of $40, $40, 803. This leaves an ap.
parent balance in our favor Of 1888,

3Oth, gold to the amount of $50, 900.

q balance Of $444, 645, 600 to be &C
counted for, $3.50, 600, 600 of which

has undoubtedly been or will be liqui
dated by returning American securi
