Brig Gen. Duilield, who commanded

Massachusetts regiments in the San
tiago campaign, has the vindication of
his course in the much-tallScd- battle
of Aguadores in telegram sent by
Gen. Shafter to the secretary of war,
in which he speaks highly of Duffield,
and practically apologies for his
scanty mention of the Michigan men
in his official report. Gen. Shafter's
dispatch says:
"Gen. Duflield did all that he was eX-
pected to do and in most satisfactory
manner. His report received and for
warded today to Washington, with
an Endorsement that will show my
appreciation of his services. In look
ing my report over, L see that the ref
erences to his action at Aguadores were
not clearly expressed and it escaped
my notice. There was no intention
that he should do more than make such
demonstration rs would hold the

attacked it with view to its capture
with the force under Gen. Dut1ield
would have been the hight of folly"

Spain VIII Bluff to the Last.

Duke Almodovar de Rio, the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs, states that
the Spanish peace commissioners have
been instructed to contend strongly for
the integrity of Spanish sovereignty in
the Philippines, on the ground that
the protocol between Spain and the
United States was signed before Man
lila had capitulated, and also to make a
firm stand regarding the Cuban debt
and the Philippine loan of 1896, if
Luzon is coded to America.
At Washington this official statement
is regarded as a scheme to draw out the
American commissioners position on
the Philippine question; and also as an
invitation to some European power to
interfere if the United States attempts
to retain more than the island of Luzon.
While the instructions of the American
commissioners have not been made
public it may be stated that such of
the Philippines as are not held by the
United States shall be so governed or
disposed of that the insurgents shall not
be placed at the mercy of the Spanish
government, nor shall they turned over
to any power that might oppressivelv
treat the natives.

Bloody Riots in Paris.

The many predictions that the Drey-
fus case agitation would cause revo-
luton in France seem about to come
true. Paris was in turmoil all Sun
day. Crowds, scuf1ies, uproar, and ar
rests filed the day. About score of
persons are said to have been seriously
wounded. In one quarter alone more
than 40 arrests were made, many of
them being prominent men. The riots
have created intense alarm among the
foreigners at the hotels, and it is prob
able that an exodus will occur, the
guests fearing grave developments.

tice Hooker. Gov. Pingree is defeated
in his efforts to compel the Michigan
Central by mandamus to issue such
tickets. Briefly the court holds that
the Michigan Central Co. has the right
to fix its own tolls under it's special
charter, and that to hold the act of
1891 applicable to it would be to i'm
pair the obligation of the contract
made by the state TO reimburse the
company for any damage which it
might sustain. The court also holds
that the Michigan Central Co. has not
forfeited its charter by effecting con-
solicitations with other systems

not existed in Michigan for several
years than at the present time. Re-
ports indicate an improvement in the
condition of the wageworllcrs and in
crease in wages and percentage OF men
employed. There are no complaints of
the unemployed, but shortage of hands
is reported, and the wages of common
laborers have improved. There is a
great demand for female domestic help.
A careful canvass of the state shows
that the mortgages upon farm prop
.erty have been decreased millions of
dollars as compared with 1896. and
money is easy in all sections.
State factory inspectors report large
increase in the amounts invested in
manufacturing enterprises. Wages in
this branch show marked improvement

Small Majority for Prohibition in Canada.


Reports from all parts of the Domin-
ion of Canada indicate that the vote
for and against prohibition has been
larger than was expected. The heav-
lest vote against prohibition was cast
in the province of Quebec. Here the
French clergy had counseled their
people to vote against prohibition.
The province gave majority of about
$4,000 against, while the provinces of
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and
Prince Edward Island combined give
a majority of 5000 in favor of doing
away with the liquor traffic. Every
city in Ontario except Brantford gave
a majority against prohibition. But
the counties largely overcome these
majorities, and the result in Ontario is
that prohibition carried by majority
of about $4,000. The returns from
Manitoba, the Northwest Territory
and British Columbia are incomplete,
but it is estimated Manitoba and the
territories together will give a major
ity of IL, 900 to $1,000 in favor of pro-
hibition, while British Columbia has
gone the other way. At all events, it
seems pretty clear the plebiscite has
not been so decisive as to warrant the
government introducing prohibitory
law
