SMOOTHING OVER
THE DEFEAT
Intimating That Spain's Surrender is
Not COmplete-The SENT Official
Note.

MADRID, Aug. 12.-The government is
propogating the idea that Spain's sur
render is not 30 complete as indicated
by the bald terms of the protocol. AS
the first step in this direction, semi
official note has been issued, which is as
follows:
"The government is of the opinion
that the most critical period of peace
negotiations has now arrived, as it de-
pends upon the arrangement of details
as TO whether peace will be more or less
advantageous. Spain wishes to preserve
her sovereignty over the whole of the
Philippines, to which she proposes to
accord all political and administrative
reforms consistent with the maintenance
of her sovereignty. In regard to the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, 1t
will be asked that the army be allowed
to depart honorablv and that assur-
ances be given guaranteeing that the
Spanish anu AoIelgn INTERESTS Will nOG
suffer. The army which has not been
conquered will return to Spain with its
guns, arms and munitions. In regard
to the Cuban debt, as the United States
refuses to assume it, Spain will endeav-
or to arrange with the Cuban treasury
to pay it when the island is able. The
question of treaty of commerce Will be
submitted to a commission under the
presidency of Senior Castillo"

Deafness cannot De-Oured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by HALLS Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

ADMIRAL CERVERA
is INTERVIEWED
He Says Little, But Has No Fears as to
His Reception in Spain : Feels
that He Has Done His Duty.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Admiral Ger
vera and number of his officers, who
are now prisoners at the naval academy
at Annapolis. we're interviewed at their
station in that place for the frat time
since their arrival. Admiral Cervera
was reserved in his comment, but his
officers were more outspoken, All were
very grateful for the treatment which
they had received.
Admiral Cervera heard for the first
time apparently of the alleged tele-
grams which Captain General Blanco
is said to have sent to Madrid, before
and after the defeat of the feet, asking
for CerverA's removal and pronouncing
him incapable.
81 have known nothing of it," he de-
clared. ''If Blanco occupies his time in
traducing me, I will pay no attention to
him. 1 will have nothing to do with
that kind of man"
'Why do you not justify yourself now
before the people of this country and
Spain?" was asked. "It might effect
your reception on your return.''
"I have no fear as to my reception il
Spain," replied ths admiral. .'After all
this is over there will be council, which
will clear up everything. did my du-
ty up to the last moment, and have nc
fears as to what the verdict of the peo-
pie will be.

and they went out in launch to see
them off. The good-byes being said,
the two ladies were going ashore in the
launch when junk, which was sailing
into the harbor, running swiftly before
the wind, collided with the launch. The
junk's bowsprit was driven against Miss
Simmons with terrific force. 1t struck
her in the abdomen and impaled her,
killing her instantly. Her companion,
Miss Allen, was struck about the shoul-
ders and head by the unwieldly bow of
the Chinese vessel, and che was terribly
cut and lacerated. She lived short
time in the Yokohama hospital, and
died on July 80, few hours before the
Victoria sailed.

Notice to Delinquent Taxpayers.

The delinqent taxes OF Wasco county,
as shown on the rolls now in the hands
of the sheriff are $50, 900. an amount al
most equal to the Indebtedness of the
county. Every citizen will doubtless
admit that this state of affairs should
not exist, and that all taxes should be
collected. On account of hard times
in the past the county court Las shown
leniency to taxpayers, but that leniency
has reached the limit, and the court
cannot wait longer on delinquents to
make settlements. For this reason
warrant has been attached to each de-
linquent roll commanding the sheriff to
collect all taxes by seizure and sale of
property. With bountiful crop now
in sight, there can no longer be any rea-
sonable excuse for the nou-payment OF
taxes. The sheriff is bound by oath to
comply with the terms of the warrants
attached to the tax rolls for the collec-
ton thereof, and has no option in the
matter. Delinquent taxpayers can save
the cost of seizure AMI sale of property
by settling their taxes at once.
ROBERT KEELY,
Sheriff and Tax Collector for Wasco
County.

"FIageIIated { emlnInItY.

Tie following interesting com
ment on the Governors message
. is extracted from an editorial of
the Vicksburg Herald on that
subject;
The wife beating proposition of
his excellency will be remembered
as the distinctive mark he made in
the constitutional convention.
His labors there for disfranchise-
Hent of the wife beater were
strenuous and unremitting. But
the convention was wholly unre-
sponsive to his argument and his
eloquence in behalf Of flagellated
femininity.
The governors silence upon the
burning new capitol building ques-
ton is eloquent of the force of
that familiar adage-"a burnt
child breads the fire. 1t has been
suggested that he will bring up
this subject in a special message,
but the Herald doubts it. Cor
tainly he will await decided mani
festations from the legislature Of
a disposition to harmonic with
him and among themselves, before
doing 50. Under all the circum-
stances as they seem to us, we do
not believe that the wisdom of the
governor in protermitting this
question can he assaiied. True
his past declarations and the state
of the old building, as alleged, do
not consist with a two year post
phonement of action, But this,
unfortunately, is not the whole Of
the situation.

Tho Sand Laden Missouri.

Mr.. Frank Fl. Spearman writes in ST
Nicholas Of the freaks of the Missouri riv
er, his article being entitled "a Shifting
Boundary" Mr. Spearman says:
You must know that the real business
Of the Missouri Is to carry the mountain
waters east and south into the gulf Of
Mexico. But in bounding from side to
side Of It's valley through the tedious cen
turios II has twisted and turned so many
times that no doubt Its head is confused.
Carrying the quantity Of mud it does, you
would hardly expect II to be clear headed.
There is actually SO much sand In the
ter that the fish all have sore eyes;
some are totally blind, the saddest look
ing creatures you ever caught. A really
fastidious trout or bass dropped into the
Missouri would hang himself in despair

New German Figure.

The newest and most popular
figure in New York cotillons this
winter is thus described by a cor
respondent of the Times Demo
crat:
The lady upon whom falls the
honor of taking the lead in the
figure is presented with a chain of
gold, in which at intervals are
httted golden rings large enough
to go over a mans head and en-
circle his neck. With this chain
in her hand, the lady begins tour
of the ballroom, while victims
quake and tremble every time her
glance falls upon them. Well is
it for those men who have secured
partners before the lady of the
golden chain comes their way.
Never was woman's protecting in
fuence more sorely needed than at
this moment, for lonely and for
lorn wanderers are powerless to
escal from the chain. The first
man the lady of the chain sees
alone is attached by the passing of
one of the rings ever his head,
and he is led away, with mournful
aspect, and following his captor
wherever she may choose to guide
him. Presently another victim is
captured and harnessed by the
golden chain, and the procession
wends its way through the ball
room until every ring encircles a
neck, and the lady who leads the
line has as many men on her chain
as the chain will hold.
There is only one way by which
the victims can make their escape,
and here the fair sex have their re-
venge for social rules and regula-
tons that place the lord of crea-
ton upon higher plane and con-
denim the women to wait until they
are asked before taking part in
the whirl on the waxed floor. In
order for one of the captives at
tached to the slavish chain 10 es-
cape the thralldoG, he must be
rescued by 3 lsiy, who approaches
and requests him to dance with
her. If no one asks a captive to
dance, then he must needs walk
through the cotillon attached to
the chain-a spectacle for which
the stoniest heart should feel
compassion
