was a 22.calibre.
DR.. Martin went out to attend the
child. He says the ball did not strike
the girl squarely, or it would have
proved fatal. The ball is lodged un-
der the skin behind the ear.

ers, sorrowiully, and the Americans,
with feeling OF relief, will write their
signatures upon the document which
embodies the results OF the war and
the preparation OF which has con-
sumed eleven weeks, almost as long a
time as the war itself. In the mean.
time the treaty will be engrossed un.
der the supervision Of Mr.. Moore and
Sener Ojeda, the secretaries OF the
respective commissions.
The Spaniards are exceedingly bit.
ter over the result, though observing
the forms Of iriendliness and courtesy

and persistent struggles TO save for
his country every possible asset from
the wreck OF her colonial empire
has commanded the respect and I'D.
