London, Aug. 9.-The Madrid CORE

The late President Cleveland, with
some others, warns us not to get intox-
icated with the glory of war and of the
requirement of new territory. 1t ap-
pears, however, that we have got pretty
deep into this war and it really would
mt be wise to pull out of it until we
have whipped the enemy. Of course,
there are lots of things possible to
make us afraid to win it, but they can
not be profitably considered until the
fighting has gone further Drive
Slow" said the man who owned the
horse to the man who hired it for fun

reply; "but I'll keep up with the pro-
cession if I kill the horse"

Gen. Miles, Campaign Progressing
Satisfactorily.
Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 8. Gen.
Miles invasion of Porto Rico is pro-,
crossing IN a highly satisfactory man
ner. Nothing has taken place to inter-
s1ere with the plans mainly decided
upon by Gen. Miles, and the American
troops are gaining advanced ground
every day. This plan of having the
army march upon San Juan from four
directions is regarded here as one OF
Gen. Miles shrewdest moves. He has
the Spaniards in complete doubt ana
has assigned large enough force IN
der each general to insure successful
resistance against Spanish attacks. At
the same time, by this plan. Gen.
Miles speedily will have several thou
sand Spanish troops shut I'D in the
vicinity of Aibonito, unless the enemy
suddenly changes plans and hastens to
San Juan over the military road.
There will be formidable American
force
Ready to Advance
upon the Porto Rican capital when the
troops upder Gen. Henry form Juno
ton with those under Gen. Schwan at
AreclDO. IL is probable that much of
the artillery to be used in the siege of
San Juan will be sent to Arecibo by
transports and taken from there to-.
San Juan by rail- This will be work
easy Of accomplishment and Gen.
SchWan undoubtedly will be able to
form a junction with the other troops
as soon as, they can march to the cap
ltal. No opposition is expected by the
American troops in the execution of
this plan. All Of our men are light
hearted and there is plenty of good
food for all. The forage Of the horses
is superb. Gen. Miles is giving his
personal attention to the management
OF the details Of the campaign. He
intends to press forward to San Juan
regardless of the peace negotiations,
until orders come from Washington
for hostilities to cease.

The aptness of a quotation from the
Bible-Isaiah 3:12-was never shown
more forcibly than in a speech recently
delivered in the Spanish Cortes by
Carlst deputy. After eloquently ar
raigning the government for their in
capacity, he closed with these words
from Isaiah, GAS for my people, chill
dren are their oppressors, and women
rule over them. o, my people, they
which lead thee cause thee to err, and
destroy the way of thy paths" The
Cortes was instantly in an uproar, and
the deputy, having refused to recall his
words, was expelled for the remainder
of the session.

The queen regent ought to be per-
mitted to abdicate, leaving the throne
temporarily in the hands of Alfonso's

Eugene and other royal unfortunates
know that mob in monarchical
country is a beast with a thousand
claws and no soul. The lady proposed

she should have it if she wants it. AS

Madrid, Aug. 8. = According to the

the Spanish note is couched in digni-

bows to the force of circumstances,
having done nothing to provoke the
war into which she has been unwil-

and territory. 1t expresses a willing
ness to appoint delegates to meet. the
American commissioners to discuss a

duty circumstances imposed upon
them. H. +....

Washington, Aug. 10. - Advices re-

that the revolutionary movement there
has assumed a phase which, while not
jeopardizing the existing government,
promises to involve foreign residents
in great difficulty. The insurgents I'M
der Morales are believed to have re-
ceived considerable support from the
MeXicans on the frontier who are said
to be chargeable at least with failing
to observe neutrality. Some of the
foreign residents already have suffered
heavy exactions of money under forced
,levies by the insurgents, and it may be-
that strong representations Oh the sub
ject will be required by the United
States.

The man who shot at Blanco at
distance of only few feet and merely
wounded him deserves the death he
will undoubtedly get. If to blunder is
a crime, what must be the verdict in
the case of a soldier who half misses
such an opportunity as that? It seems
from further information that the man
never shot at the general at all. Very
we'll. Shall he be boiled in oil?

Madrid, Aug. 1.-The cabinet council
terminated after having completely af-
frmed the reply to the United States
which it is said accepted American
conditions. The reply was telegraphed
to Senior Leon Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador to France, so that M.
Cambon, the French ambassador at
Washington, will receive it to-day.
The government is fully convinced
that the note will be satisfactory to
the Washington government and a
suspension of hostilities will be it's
Immediate consequence. From a
well Informed source it is learned that
while the answer does not discuss the
conditions which the United States
make as an essential preliminary to
peace, and which Spain accepts with
out reservation, it points out that l
order to avoid the definite negotiations
being in any way complicated by the
incidents of war it is necessary to
agree beforehand to a suspension of
hostilities. It is said that Duke
Almodevar de Rio, minister Of foreign
affairs, and Mgr. Merry del Val, the
Spanish ambassador. to the Vatican,
will be selected to represent Spain in
the negotiations. The newspapers
make no comment on the situation ow-
ing to the strictest censorship.
Madrid, Aug. 9.-Senor Sagasta has
pust concluded a conference with the
queen regent. Her majesty approves
the general lines Of the reply of Spain
to Americas peace terms, which Sen
or Sagasta explained to her. The
government believes that the United
States will accept SPANS answer,
which will certainly reach the White
House by Tuesday. AS a conse-
quence Of the United States accepting
the reply hostilities will Immediately
afterward be suspended.
