Considerable comment has been caused
il Ncrmillion as to n report in circulation
that Judge Smith has decided that the
accretion of land on the old Missouri is no:
IN Clay County, though in South Dakota.
AT the time the decision was made and
South Dakota was given the disputed ter
.itory, no specification was made as to
what county could claim it. If the decis-
on is officially correct, good grounds for
4 contest of the vote in Vermillion Town.
ship are at hand, which may result in
John b. Butler, Populist, being defeated
for sheriff. as he only won the office by
light majority. The rest of the ticket will
not be materially affected, for motwith-
standing the fact that the township went
strong for Populism, all other candidates
have large majoritics to spare. 1t is
claimed that IL contest will hold good, as
there were about twenty voters who cast
their ballots on election day from the
island of acclction. In such an event Gov.
Lees majority would he cut down in Clay
County To 1853 instead of ia. II is not
definitely known as yet what will he done.
Both sides are doing considerable talking.

SPAIN HAS CHOICE.
MUS DECIDE WHETHER 1T BE
PEACE OR WAR.
Demands of the United States Are in,
the Nature of an Ultimatum-philip-i
pines in Exchange for War In
dcmnity and s%2o,ooo,ooo.

Whether it be peace on the terms fixed
by the United States or war in which
Spain's destruction is certain must be de-,
cided by the Madrid. Government. Y prop
osition that was practically an ultimatum'
was made by the American peace commits
sion at Paris at Mondays joint session.
The terms Oh. the proposition are summar,
Ted as follows:
l.. The Spanish proposal to arbi-
trate theelncaning of the third arti-
Gle of the peace protocol is rejected.
=. The United States demands
the cession of the entire Philippine
archipelago, and offers Spain an i'll
demnity of $2O,000,O 900 for her pa
cific expenditures in the islands.
8. The United States declares n
policy of "opcn door i'm the Philip
pines to. the worlds ommerce. and
offers Spain for Il series of wears
the saiae trading terms in the isl
.ands as shall be enjoyed by t.Ameri-
can ships.
4. The United States proposes. on
the terms heretofore named, a mu-
tual rclinquishmcnt of all public and
private claims between Spain and
the United States arising sine. the
beginning of the Cuban insurrec-
tion.
.. The United States insists'that
the religious freedom of tile Caro-
line Islands be considered as settled
by the treaty of 1856.
Nothing to A%rlitratc.
he American commissioners hold that
the meaning OF the peace protocol is plain
ana contains nothing calling for arbitra-
tlcn. An arbitration would also lie a
virtual surrender of the functions of the
peace commission, and is, therefore, abso-
lutely rejected.
The American commissioners call atten-
ton to the fact that no cash indemnity for
the expenses Of the wal has been asked
by the United States. The Spaniards
having neglected the former proposal Of
the United States for the ccssion of tho
Philippines, the Americans now prescnd
proposals embodying all concessions.
which. for the sake of peace, the United
States is willing to offer, deeming it essen,
tlal that til. negotiations. already greatly
protractcd. should be brought to an early
and definite conclusion. i
The Government of the United States
refuses to modify. the proposal heretofore
made for the cession of the entire archi-
pelaso of the Philippines: but the. .Ameri.
can commissioners are authorized to offer
to Spain. in case the ecssion should be
amicably agreed to. the sum of 500. 600.
600, to lie paid in accordance with the
terms to be fixed in the treaty OF peace.
The mutual REIMBURSEMENT of all public
and private claims between Spain and the
United States since the beginning of the
Cuban instruction is intended to imply
that each Government will settle tho
Claims of its w citizens against the 9th.
or country. and includes the re-establish.
ment of the treaties which have lapsed by
war. The proposal to renounce all claims
for indemnity includes. of course. com.
pensation for the destruction of til,
Maine.
