Quietly, and in marked contrast
with some of its contemporaries, the
Chicago Great Western has Just
placed two royal new trains into
service between Chicago and Minne-
apolis, green and gold In colors. with
red roofs and trucks. and simply
Aladdin interiors. The new trains are
Pullman palaces, built after special
designs born in the Chicago Great
Western offices. The interiors are
mahogany, richly inlaid, and the
furnishings harmonious carpets and
draperies. The club cars Of these
splendid new limited trains are some.
thing entirely new and novel under
the sun. They have flat ceilings and
resemble rooms more than cars. They
have high-backed, luxuriously cush-
Toned settees at the ends and, in the
corners, like those in the new Grand
Pacific bar, with mahogany center
table, lamp, illumined, with rich
canopy shades, and surrounded by
easy chairs. The windows are
diamond-shaped prismatic-glassl
work, after the ancient German
style. The club car has all the ap-
pointments and conyeniences of the
metropolitan club. AT the front end
is conductors room, with desk and
lamp, where he can transact his
ticket asserting unseen and undis-
turbed. The Chicago Great Western
has excelled itself and contempora-
ries in the introduction of these
Imperial trains, but proposes to let
them be discovered by the travelling
public, hence their noiselesr inaugu-
raj.

spain's Heavy Penalty.

Washington, Aug. s.-Spain, for the
sake of false pride, bigotry, politics and
child king, has buried in the depths
OF the sea IS vessels of her navy, valued
at 500, 100000. BY their rusting hulks
lie the bodies of more than thousand
gallant tars.
Spain has surrendered in territory to
the United States directly Cuba. with a.
population of 100000 and an area of
$4,000 square miles, and Peurto Rico.
with an area of 3,670 square miles and
a population of $4,000; also the la
drone islands, area AT square miles and
population $4,000. Her total direct loss
of territory in square miles is As, 6s7
and loss in population 1925 200. She
has also jeopardized, probably beyond
all future control by her, the Philip
pine islands. with an area of 114,s26
square miles and population of s,oo0,-
200 So that in the end it appears the
Spanish kingdom for the sake of the
wrong has given up 100000 square
miles of territory and over 10000, 900 of
tax-paying population.

"REMEMBERED THE MAINE. ;,
Why Lieut.. Commander wainwright,
of the Gloucester, Put Up Such
a Daring Fight.

Lieut.. Commander Wainwright is
well known in Syracuse, N. Y, owing
to family connections. In speaking of
his magnificent work at Santiago, one
of his cousins said: "There is an in
teresting story in connection with his
being appointed to command the
Gloucester. As you know, the lieuten-
ant commander was the second in COM
mand of the Maine.
Like many other officers in the
navy, he believes that, while the work
was not done with the sanction of
the Spanish government, it was done
by the officers of the Spanish army
and navy, who were acquainted with
the location of the mines.
Naturally Lieut.. Commander Vain
wright is of quiet and amicable dis
position, but the tragedy worked a
great change in him. He was rabid on
the subject and was extremely anxious
for an opportunity to wreak venge-
ance on the men who were responsible
for the destruction of his vessel.

and we all are proud of him and feel
that he is gratified in doing such good
work in Remembering the Maine" -

- Madrid, Aug. 8.-The cabinet council
terminated after having completely
confirmed the reply of the United
States, which, it is said accepts the
American conditions. The reply will
be telegraphed to Senior Leon y Castillo,
the Spanish ambassador to France, SO
that M. Cambon, the French ambassa-
dor at Washington, will receive it to-
day. The government is fully con-
WINGED that the note will be satisfactory
to the Washington government and
that suspension of hostilities will be
Its immediate consequences.
Senior Sagasta, the premier, has con-
cluded his conference with the queen
regent. Her majesty approves the gen
eral lines of the reply of Spain to
Americas peace terms which Gen. Sa-
gasta explained to her. The govern
ment believes that the United States
will accept SPANS answer, which will
certainly reach the white house by
Tuesday. AS consequece of the United
States accepting the reply, hostilities
will Immediately afterwards be sus-
pended. AS the reply to the American
= terms was only submitted to the queen
regent Sunday, all the reports of her
approval Saturday of the American de-
mands are necessarily without founda-
ton
From a well-informed source it is
learned that while the answer does
not discuss the four bases which the
United States makes an essential pre-
lminary to leaceX, and which Spain
accepts without reservation, it points
out that in order to avoid the def1ni-
tive negotiations being in any way
complicated by incidents of the war,
1t is expected to agree beforehand to
suspension Of hostilities. 1t is re-
ported that Duke Almodovar de Rio,
the minister of foreign affairs, and
Monsignor Morry del Val, Spanish am
bassador to the vatican, will be Sc
lected to represent Spain in the nego-
tiations. The newspapers make no
comments on the situation owing to
the strictness of the censorship.

premier of Spain, who accepts the terms
for explanations reached Madrid FRI
day evening. The text has not been
divulged, but it is known that it
brought little consolation President
Mckinley turned deaf ear to the sug-
gestion that Puerto Rico might be left
to Spain and compensation sought
elsewhere. Regarding the Philippines,
the reply was not altogether satisfac-
tory, but 1T was of such nature that
there was no longer any necessity for
postponing decision on the main
question.
AS to the context of Spain's re-
ply the oracles differ. Some say
1t contains no contentious mat
ter, accepts simply in principle the
four demands of President McKinley's
first communication and suggests an
immediate suspension of hostilities.
On the other hand, others affirm that
1t is prefaced by an account of the
origin of the war, tending to prove
that, es Spain was in no sense the ag-
gressor, she ought not to be expected
to pay war indemnity either in
money or territory.
n DiEnifed Acquiescence.
According TO the most reliable
sources of information the Spanish
note Is couched in dignified language.
It asserts that Spain bows to the force
of circumstances, having done nothing
to provoke the war, into which she has
been unwillingly led in the defense of
her rights and territory. 1t expresses
q willingness to appoint delegates to
meet the American commissioners to
discuss regime for the Philippines.
Ut is understood that both Senior Sa-
gasta and Duke Almodovar de Rio, the
foreign minister, told the queen regent
that they felt deeply the painful duty
circumstances imposed upon them.
