I l. ~~~-~~~-~-~~--~--o----- patches. The following dispatch is an ex- cellent example:
 washington, July 13, 1898. "Majo jor-General Miles:
 "You may accept surrender by granting parole to officers and men, the officers re- tainng their side arms. The officers and men after parole will be permitted to re- turn to Spain, the United States assisting. If not accepted, then assault, unless, in your judgment, an assault would fail. Consult with Sampson and pursue such course as to the assault as you jointly agree upon. Matters should be settled promptly.
 "(Signed) R. A. ALGER,
 "Secretary of War; "This dispatch recognized Miles as com rander and gave him authority to act. Shafter was entirely ignored. In the face of this situation, General Alger, through Adjutant- General Corbin, sent dispatch to Shafter assuring him that General Miles did not come to Cuba to supersede Shafter in this way. This dispatch General Miles refers to as secret for he did not know 1t had been sent, not being notified from Washington and General Shafter saying nothing about it. After the surrender Gen eral Miles retained control. He authorized Shafter to appoint peace commissioners, and, judging from Shafter's report. that all was over, he instructed him as to the disposition of the troops
 "July 15, General Shafter wired General Miles that the surrender was not as com- plete as was thought and said: Please do not go away with the endorsements, as may need them.' Miles promptly replied by wire from Baiuuiri that the surrender Is complete and that the Spaniards must surrender.

CARS IDEAS
ARE EUTOPIAN.

Continued From First Page)
 Ut is to be hoped that Europe, like France, will consider the czars proposal in a spirit similar to that whereby it was in- spired. Nevertheless it must not be for gotten that if France owes it to herself to aid in such an attempt there is a consider ation of her moral patrimony which she cannot abandon without abdicating the very reason of her existence France can not forget the eloquent words exchanged regarding the rights of people and of jus tice. Count Muravieff's circular seems a rejoinder to MT. Goschen's speech, whether or not it was so intended Therefore, 1t lacks neither wit appropriateness. However, it would be singularly belittling the inspiration and meaning of the pro- posal to see nothing else in it or even to connect it with a wish to hamper from the outset the conclusion of an alliance with the United States and Great Britain. What will the Germany of Wi- liam think of the initiative of Nicholas. The prince will hardly care to play second fiddle
 The Liberte remarks: '"The gravest ques- tions which demand solution involve France, and the czar has undoubtedly con- sidered these complications and has con- suited the powers interested. It is to be presumed he has reason to believe his views will triumph"
 The Gazette de France says: Russia made us go to Kiel. Today she leads to a conference which will sanction a readjust- ment of 1Sn.'
 The Journal Des de Bats refers to the "past which we cannot forget' and being Ia stumbling b1ock' in the way of the suc- cess of the conference.
 The Patrio expresses the opinion that Great Britain will renounce her supremacy
 Only for Protection
 Berlin, August 29-The North German Ga zette, referring today 10 the czars peace conference proposal, remarks: "Our arma- ments were never intended for selfish ends but only for our protection and for the maintenance of peace. We are willing to give fair trial to another method of at- taining the object at a smaller cost"
 The National Zeitung says:
 "The czar and his ministers have not de- luded themselves with the idea that they can rid the world of the causes which for years have been responsible for the grow ing armaments. When great power, how ever, addresses such proposals to others they will be considered everywhere aS de- serving of the most serious consideration. The Vossiche Zeitung expresses the opin- ion that the importance of the note does not lie in the proposal for a conference, but in its conception.
 The Kreuz Zeitung says: "Its bitter sweet reception in France shows It will not meet with universal approval"
 According to the Hamburger Correspond ent the note will remain forever an inn perishable monument to the fame or Elm peror Nicholas.

Finch, the Soldier


 Ever since he returned to this city he has been an enthusiastic member of the Jeffer- son Volunteers, and when the call for vol- unteers came he was among the first in his company to offer his services. In fact, he was one of the leading spirits in the or ganization of that splendid body Of men which now compose the Jefferson Volun- teers of the First Alabama He held the position of second sergeant of his company, anC was also secretary of the company in it's national guard organization.
 He has been with his regiment ever since it left Birmingham on May l. At that time he was a picture of health and one of the best-loolzing men in the regiment He en- dured all the hardships of the life at Miami. but the deadly water of that pesthole un- doubtedly undermined his health, for he was attacked with typhoid fever soon after the regiment reached Jacksonville. His mother went to his side last Monday, and she remained with him until the last, sec ing that he had every attention. But death came at 8 o'clock Sunday night.
 Miss Lucine Finch, the sister of the de- ceased, thinking that her brothers condi- ton was lmpTOfdHS, ltll loi ShiSo6O oNiA- day, and did not hear the sad news until her arrival there yesterday. She will not return today.
 The deceased was a member of the Wood- men of the World, in which organization he carried 5000 policy for the benefit of his mother.
 Sergeant Finch was more than popular with his regiment and with the people of Birmingham who knew him. In his busi- ness relations he had numerous friends and was considered a straightforward young man. Socially, there was not a more popu- lar fellow in Birmingham than Phil Finch. The pall-bearers today will be nine of his comrades in the Jefferson Volunteers, who will accompany the remains from Jackson vile. Rev. G. B. Kelly and Rev. l.. s. Handley will officiate at the ceremony. All of the officers and men of the First Alabama now on furloughs in Birmingham are requested to meet at the union depot at Il o'clock this morning.

Amitv Factions at Havana.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Feb. 10.-The
apparent difficulty attending the send
ing down of divers. to inspect the hull
of the MAINE" was relieved, il not
entirely removed today by the state
ment of Senor Du Bose, charge DAFT
faires of the Spanish legation, that a
complete and harmonious underst and
ing between Captain Sigsbee and the
authorities Of Havana had been reached
in the matter of divers. The Spanish
authorities view the "Maine" as extra
territorial that is part sovereign to
the territory of the United States to the
same extent as the United States
legation in foreign territory. With the
Maine holding its status as extra ter.
ritorial, all doubt as to proceeding to
the work on the wreck is removed. Du
Bose feels assured, however, that Sigs-
bee will extend equal facilities to
Spanish divers, SO that inspections may
proceed together.

Z The fairview Tunnel.

ASH FORK, Ariz., Feb. 19.-Twenty-
i've hundred car loads of freight, side
tracked on account of the Fairview
tunnel fire, passed through this point
last week. Nearly 1000 men employed
in the removal of the blockade have
been paid off and discharged. The tunnel
accident itself has not only been the
cause of hundreds Of thousands of
dellars' expenditure but it has also
lost nearly a S1.OOO,0o0 in diverted
traffic and in payment Of mileage for
trains over the Southern Pacific system.
In the great reckoning of the loss
sustained are also charged the terrible
items OF damages for seven men that
were killed and thirty-three that
were injured in the work of restoring
the tunnel The restoration was long
thought to be impossible, but after a
blockade lasting for for thirty days,it is
again OF leEed.
