Colombia Given Eight Months.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-By exer-
cising the good offices of the United
States tactfully, Secretary Day prob
ably succeeded in averting a severe
crisis in the relations between Italy
and Colombia growing out of the Ger
ruti affair. A cablegram was received
at the state department from Rome
saying that out of regard for the United
States the Italian government had tel
egraphed Admiral Candinana, at Car
thagena, Colombia, to give the Colon
bian government eight months time
in which to settle with Cerruti's cred
itors under the terms of President
Cleveland's award. While Colombia
has not been heard from in acceptance
of this prorosition, it is not doubted
here that it will be accepted.

George Borghers, Aged 8. Fatally Shot ny
Unknown Cyclist.
MAYNARD, August 10.-Geo. Borgh-
ers, s-vear-old son of VIM. Borghers,
was playing with boy companion IN
the road near his fathers house IN the
woods, when q stranger rode by on a
bicycle. The boy made a jesting re-
mark concerning the appearance OF the
wheelman and Immediately the strang-
er drew q revolver from his pocket and
deliberately shot the lad through the
body. The ball, which is 32'caliber,
passed in at the right breast, perforat-
ing the lungs and passed downward
till it found Judgment in the liver.
The child cannot live. Georges COM
panion Immediately gave the alarm
and neighboring farmers were quickly
summoned to aid in pursuit of the MUIR
derer. BY means oflanterns, the track
made by the bicycle in the light dust
of the road was traced some miles, and
then lost. If the criminal is captured
he will be lynched.

PEACE STEP TAKEN.
An Agreement in Protocol Form u
Reached.

WASHINGTON, August 1.-The
French ambassador arrived at the state
department yesterday at IL O'CLOCK
After conference of fifteen minutes
with Secretary Day, the latter drove
to the White House to confer with the
president, NJ. Cambon awaiting Mr.
DAVIS return. Secretary Day at
o'clock made the following statement
to the Associated Press: "We have
agreed upon the protocol embodylng
the proposed terms for the negotiation
for treaty of peace, including the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico,
and it is expected the protocol will be
executed" It can be stated that the
terms are precisely those laid down by
the president in his original note
week ago. 1t is believed nothing but
a few formalities remain to be disposed
of to secure the signature of the
protocol.
There must be a delay-possibly from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours-be-
fore the next step can be taken, and
the protocol made binding upon both
the United States and Spain by the at
tachment OF the signatures of the pie
nipotentiaries, Secretary Day for the
United States, and NJ. Cambon for
Spain. The delay will be largely at
tributable to physical causes.
AS to the character of the protocol,
it can be stated on authority that the
terms are in all practical points those
set out in the abstract of the presi-
dents conditions published from the
White House a week ago. From this
fact it is deduced that the extra con-
ditions or qualifications sought to be
imposed by the Spanish government
were Abandoned at least in a large
part, by the French ambassador.

Two Hundred Spaniards and Eleven
Americans Killed.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 10.-Cavite,
August 6, via Hong Kong.-Three
transports which sailed from San
Francisco with Merritt, but were
delayed ut Honolulu, arrived to-day.
The monitor Monterey also arrived.
The American forces engaged the
enemy before Malate last Sunday
night and compelled them to retreat
with heavy losses. Our troops lost
thirteen killed AID forty-seven
wounded. The fighting lasted four
hours. The American troops engaged
were part of the Tc: tn Pennsylvania.
First California, and Third regular
artillery. The Spanish led in the
attack by attempting to dislodge our
troops by flanking movement from
the strong position they have been
holding near the enemy's lines. The
position is still held by our troops. A
Manila special dated July 81 says that
Battery A, Utah. also engaged in the
fight. It says the American losses
were nine killed and forty-four
wounded. The Spanish losses were
upward of two hundred killed and
three hundred wounded.

Third Philippine Expedition Has Very
Exciting Voyage.
MANILA, August 5, via Hong Kong
The third Philippine expedition is here
twenty-five days out from Honolulu.
Never did an expedition encounter
more dangers or endure more perils.
On the voyage six men and nine Of
sfcers died and fifty more were taken
sick. Typhoid and meningitis played
havoc on the transports Two fremen
went insane and leaped overheard.
But fire was the worst peril of all.
When the fleet was three days out from
Hawaii fire was discovered in the coal
bunkers. The captain passed the in
formation to the crew and though the
fire burned until after the Morgan
City reached Manila, none Of the SOL
diers knew anything of it. At times
the fire ragged fercely, but the captain
was afraid that if the soldiers learned
the truth there would be panic on
board.

Caused by Shots Sent Into the City by
the Insurgents.
! MANILA, August 8, via Hong Kong,
August 11.--Sunday many shots entered
the town. There was a frightful panic
inside the walls, women and children
shrieking and praying in terror the
whole night through. One shot caused
twenty casualties at Laneta battery;
another exploded at Malate barracks,
killing five. The troops turned out
Just in time to save Malate fort and
magazine. The insurgents showered
large and small shots with such pre-
cision that the garrison thought the
whole American army and feet was
concentrating it's fire. The total
Spanish losses are probably a hundred,
with many houses seriously damaged.
Sunday fifteen hundred houses of
,Tondo were burned. The flames were
driven by strong gale, which threat.
ened the whole of Manila, but were
finally extinguished by fire brigade
organized by the British merchants.
