DISPATCH CAME FROM MADRID
Official Statement Regarding

SLIGHT CHANGE FROM FIRST Note
CALL BY NJ. THIEBAULT

At 1890 o'clock the French am
bassador received a dispatch giving
him full authorization to sign the
peace protocol. The dispatch is
rather long, and its deciphering will
take some time. No hour has been
set for the signing of the protocol.
but undoubtedly it will be signed
later in the day.
An official statement .or press
publication, setting out the provi-
slons of the peace protocol, was read
and approved at the cabinet session
today. 1t was prepared by Secretary
Day, the purpose being to make it
public Immediately after the required
signatures had been affixed to the
protocol 1t does not give the text
Of the document, but details its main
points and provisions.
The protocol in general is reit-
Grafton Of the terms of the note given
to Spain, with very little difference
in the language of those terms,
though with considerable supple
nlentary paragraphs Of an admins
trative nature The most substantial
difference is in regard to the evac-
uation OF the captured territory.
The note as handed to Ambassa-
dor Carnbon called for immediate
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico,
while the protocol leaves the time of
the evacuation to be subsequently
determined upon, the design being
to have the date of withdrawal left to
be fixed by joint military commit
tee OF the United States and Spain.
The portion of the protocol sup
Elementary to what is embodied in
the note relates principally to the
manner OF execution of the provi-
sions of the protocol.
This statement would have been
made public after the cabinet meet
ing had the protocol been signed at
that time.
AT 2:3o pm. the French ambassa-
dor had received and deciphered the
full instructions and authorization
respecting the signing of the proto-
col, and ten minutes later NJ. THE
bault, secretary of the embassy,
started for the State Department,
where he made an appointment for
the execution of the instrument this
afternoon.
1t is thought the signatures will
be affixed about d o'clock, although
if the President is to be present at
the ceremony 1t may not take place
until 5 O'Clock, this depending, how
ever, upon the wishes of the State
Department officials.
Secretary Day at goa pm. left the
State Department and went to the
White House to learn the Presidents
wishes IS to personal attendance ON
the signing of the peace protocol, M.
Thiebault remaining in Secretary
Days office awaiting his return.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-08-12

that the news of the signature of the pro-
tocol would be laid before them at todays
meeting.
The attaches at the French embassy wore
an air of expectancy. They had not re-
ceived anything over night from Spain,
though their private advces had led them
to expect the receipt of the final instruc-
lions from the Spanish government some
time during the day.
When, at II o'clock, Secretary Day left
the State Department for the White House
to attend the cabinet meeting no appoint
ment had been made by the French am
bassador to meet the Secretary for the pur-
pose of signing the protocol. 1t was
thought that 1t would probably be late in
the afternoon before the document was ex
ecuted, though it was fully expected that
1t would be disposed of today. At the time
of the assembling of the cabinet 1t was
known that the French ambassador had
not yet received his instructions from
Spain. He had received a dispatch an
nouncing that the Spanish cabinet had ac
cepted the protocol and that the instruc-
tons would be sent him Immediately. No
doubt was felt, either at the embassy or
at the State Department, that the instruc-
lions would arrive in time for the protocol
to be signed before the close of the day.
The signing, it was said would take place
in the diplomatic room of the State De-
pertinent. two parchment copies Of the doc
GTnent being provided, one in English and
the other in French. The latter will be for
the Spanish government, while the former
will go into the archives of the State De-
rartment. In addition to the signatures
of Secretary Day and NJ. Cambo1, each
parchment will bear the seals of the State
Department ana the French embassy. On
one parchment the name of Secretary Day
goes first and or the other that OF NJ
Cambon.
In Reality n Treaty.
While the agreement is properly enough
described as a protocol. it is still some
thing more than that. 1t is an agreement
between the armistice which usu-
ally intervenes between active war and
final peace So far as 1t goes this protocol
is absolutely a peace treaty. Thus, having
Rico and one of the Ladrone Islands, there
is nothing more for any peace commission
to do in relation to those subjects; their
fate is sealed and the protocol in that re-
spect is as binding any definitive treaty
of peace. 1t was such a protocol as this
that was signed by President Theirs and
Prince Bismarck and terminated the
Franco-Prussian war, and the conditions
therein laid down were not even subject to
revision at the hands of the peace COM
mission that followed.

Secretary Day and Assistant Sec
retaries Moore, Adee and Cridler ar
rived at the White House in pour.
ing rain at seven minutes to a o'clock.
Promptly at q O'Clock, with the rain
falling in torrents, Ambassador Cam
bon and Secretary Thiebault drove
up in carriage.
The ambassador went at once to
the library of the White House,
where the President and State De
partment officials were in waiting.
1t was in this room that the protocol
was signed, only those mentioned
being present.
At the conclusion of the placing of
names to the document the Presi-
dent and NJ. Cambon exchanged
congratulations.
The signing of the protocol was
delayed for some minutes owing to
the fact that NJ. Cambon had forgot
ten something, probably the seal of
the French embassy, which had to be
attached.
A White House messenger was
dispatched to the French embassy
for the missing article, the distin-
guished party in the meantime en-
gaging in conversation.
All those assembled gave evidence
of qualification that everything had
been brought to a satisfactory con-
clusion.

A Good Rabbit Story Which Comes

A correspondent of the London Spec

trouble to write the biography of a
common rabbit, but our Jack" is an
exception to the rule. He bought
him from a poulterer at the door one
day for Cd, so we knew nothing about
his antecedents. He grew into huge
brown creature, and might easily have
been taken for a hare. One of his ears
was Topped, which gave him quizzical
look which made us often think he
was laughing at us. As time went on
he developed sense of humor seldom
met with among animals. The garden
gate was generally kept locked for his
benefit, but one day, as i'll luck would
have it, it was left open, and huge
dandy dinmont, watching his oppor-
tunity, ran in ahG caught Jack by the

Convict. a. Wood Cutters.

The anomalous spectacle of large
gang of Ienitentiary convicts working
in the open air is presented every day
near Yuma, 4. T. They are camped on
the Colorado river, short distance
above Yuma. and they are engaged in
cutting wood for the territorial govern
ment. None Of them escape, and none
try to escape. Why do they stay? Be-
cause each man guards the others.
Each man is short termer," none OF
them having more than a year to serve.
All are allowed a rebate for the work
they do. When convict has cut two
cords of wood he has earned a days re-
bate on his term; but should one of the
gang escape then every man in the
gang loses all rebates. Thus each man
becomes his brothers keeper.

Then he trots back to the keeper with
his little short tail wagging, to show
how well he discharged the duty placed
upon him. When the visitors stop for
a minute or two Rags curls up and
waits for the procession to move. He
enjoys visitors, and takes pains to
show off before them, just as some
children try to show off in the presence
of company. But he does it all in a
businesslike way, and not with any APP

CHOCOLATE CREAMS.
Not a. Hard to Make The. ~ Ii de

orally SuDDosed.
It is not at all difficult to prepare
chocolate creams, though it is a some
what tiresome process when q large
amount is prepared. Prepare some
soft fondant by melting pound OF
sugar in quarter of cup of water,
boiling it until it is a very soft, creamy
ball, but not at all sticky when drop
is rolled between the finger and thumb.
Let this fondant cool until you can
put your finger in it, and then stir
it with spoon until 1t is about the
consistency and flexibility OF lard.
Knead it on marble board or lightly
but;ered platter until it is even and
firm. 1t takes strong hand to do this,
and men often succeed better than
women in doing this part OF the work,
as they do in many other culinary proc
esses where strength is required. Let
the fondant be favored with little
vanilla when it is beaten up. Let it
stand for an hour or longer, and then
put the bowl or dish holding it into a
dish of hot water and melt it out enough
to form it into little balls the proper
size for the interior of a chocolate
cream. Melt small cake of sweet
chocolate by putting it in pan and
settling the pan in hot water until it is
melted. Dip the balls of soft fondant,
which should be somewhat hardened
by this time, into the melted chocolate
one by one, holding them on the point
of trusting needle or long hat pin.
Slip them one by one as soon as they
are dipped on buttered paper or
paraffine paper, if convenient, and let
them dry over night.-N. Y. Tribune.

How 10 Keen YoutbfuL

The ever youthful appearance of the
members of the dramatic profession is
constant source of surprise to the
public at large, says What to Eat The
reason for this is not so much in the
material necessarily used in making up,
which obliterates to certain extent
the natural wrinkles of the skin, while
it lubricates and nourishes it; but it
is due to the change in the expression
of the various emotions which every
part of impersonation demands. This
causes the actor to bring into play all
the muscles of the face. By using them
equally, they all maintain their firm
consistency and strength, and none
wastes away from Ilisuse. The result
is that the skin is kept stretched and
tense over the face, and does not iaE
into hollows.

It Is not q common occurrence that
friendly word should be the means of Civ
ing nearly forty years of happiness ana
health to the person needing the advice 1t
carried. This was the case with Mary
Lingard. At twenty-five she was dragging
out her days in misery. At sixty-one she
finds herself so active and strong she can
do work that would shame many younger
woman, and looks back on thirty-six
happy, healthful years of industry. But
let her tell her story:
"Thirty-six years ago had great trouble
with my liver. The doctors allowed that
there were tumors growing on it. and they
blistered my side in an effort to give me
relief. I was at that time earning my
living as q tailoress, but for five yearS
between the pain in my side and the
blisters I was in constant misery. and
work was a drag to me, with no prospect
of relief; fortunately for me, however,

was so painful that could not fasten my

come it did. This happened, as say.
thirty-six years ago. My liver has never
troubled me since, and during these years

We all adjourned to the sick room,
only to find the basket empty in which
