The West virginian Tells About the
Bridge Here and the Court House
There.

mere.
Our statement last week that the
County Court of Monongolia has pur-
chased the suspension bridge at Nor
gantown seems to have been little
premature. We made it on good au-
thority, but learned that the deal has
not yet been perfected. That it will
be soon there is no doubt. Morgan
town sees the Importance of free
bridge and will furnish part of the
purchase money. An understanding
has been reached on all sides, and we
are therefore safe in saying that the
deal has virtually been made.
Mr.. George Abernethy, one Of our
court house contractors, arrived on
Monday, and ever since, work has
been the order on the grounds of the
temple of Justice. Nothing has yet
been done on the building, but things
are being put in shape for active oper-
ations, and much larger force will
be employed. A 5O-foot addition
to the shed is being erected, and will
be full Of stone-cutters as soon as it
is completed. 1t is Mr.. Abernethy' S
intention to put the building under
roof before cold weather returns.
More stone will arrive the first OF next
week, and all that is required will be
on the ground within a short time.
On Wednesday the engine was put in
readiness as were also the big der
ricks.

WAR IS At AN END.

Spain Humbly Accepts b Terms of
This Country's Protocol.
The war is over. The Spanish cabinet,
after due consideration Of the tesms Of
the protocol presented by President Nc
Kinley, decided to accept it, and NJ. Cam
bon, the French ambassador ut Washing
ton. was instructed to sign it. With this
signature the war comes to n close, after
nearly four months duration. The war
has been shorter thar even the most san
guinc anticipated. Since April 81. the
date fixed by Congress as the beginning
of the struggle, Porto. Rico, Cuba, the
L.adroncs and the Philippines have passed
into our possession, two Spanish fleets
have been destroyed, one Spanish army
has been captured, and in every engage
.ment the enemy has been defeated in the
face sometimes of overwhelming Obstc-
'cles. The valor. endurance, skill and dis
>cipline of American soldiers have been
fairly tested. and they have compelled the
admiration of the foreign military observ-
'ers. The navy has covered itself with
glory and challenged the plaudits of the
whole world. In these few weeks the
United States has taken position as one
of the strong naval nations and u military

things provide for an army to control the

TO RULE NEW ISLANDS.
Plans for Temporary Government Are
Considered.

Plans for the temporary government Of
Cuba and the territory which will be ac-
quired from Spain us IL result of the war
are now under serious consideration by
the President and the members of the
cabinet. Porto Rico. as an actual addi-
ton to the territories of the United States,
will be placed in charge of u military gov
ernor, who will exercise II supervisory
control of I'LL the functions Of government,
under the direction of the President, until
Congress snail determine upon n pcrma-
nent form of government for the island.
The President. under the constitution
and laws, has no authority to go beyond
this preliminary or temporary stage in
the establishment of I'M system of gov
ornamental controls, and although it is al
together probable that in his message to
Congress on the subject he will exercise
his constitutional privilege of making rec.
concentrations, upon Congress alone will
devolve the responsibility and duty Of
determining the character of the political
relations which Porto Rico shall perma-
nently bear to the United States. There
are reasons for the belief that the Presi-
dent himself favors Il colonial form of
government. and that this view Is shared
by members of the cabinet. Canada is
cited us having u model colonial govern

Proceeding at the White House.
NJ. Cambon. the French ambassador,
was deliberately received at the White
House when he came representing the
Spanish Government to sign the protocol.
Hc was conducted to the diplomatic re-
ception room, where h. found four copies
Of the protocol spread out upon the big
mahogany table. Two of these were in
French and two in English. The United
States retained one copy of each and NJ.
Cambon the same. One clause in the pro.
tocol relates to an immediate cessation of
hostilities, and this was ordered as soon
as the document was signed. The tele-
gram which had already been sent to the
commanders of the army and navy ac-
quaintcd them with the status Of the
peace negotiations and operated by bring
ing about a temporary truce. The dis

cease further operations and notify the
Spanish commanders of the fact. that all
fighting has ceased. The impressive ccre-

protocol was witnessed by a numhcr Of in

schley and Sampson Are to Be Rear
Admirals.

AAOe
The President will recommend to Con-
gress that Acting Rear Admiral Sampson
be advanced eight numbers and Commo-
dore Schley six numbers. This will result
in making each II rear admiral, but with
Commodore Schley ranking Immediately
below Sampson. Captain Clark of the
Oregon will be recommended for an adj
vance Of six numbers in the captains
grade, and Lieutenant Commander Vain
wright will go up eight numbers. Other
promotions throughout the fleet will be
recommended.
The promotion of Schley and Sampson
adds two more to the roll of rear admirals
who have won their. advancement by gal
liant services in the present conflict. The
list now includes Dewey, Schlcy and
Sampson, all of whom have done heroic
work for their country and have dcmon-
strated the prOwess of the United States
us a naval power.
The promotion of Lieutenant Command
or Wainwright marks him for especial
distinction. as he is the only naval officer
who u been twice recommended for
higher hOnOrs during the war, and none
more richly deserve such recognition than
this gallant officer. who first waged sue
cessful battle with two of the enemy's
most dreaded war machines Mt the mouth
Of Santiago harbor and a few days later
g~allantly sailed his vessel into the port of
Ponce and raised the Stars and Stripes
for the first time as u c%onquering invader
upon the soil of Porto Rico. This daring
young commander, who comes of splendid
fighting stock, has added new llster to
his country's arms and may bc counted
upon to fill a place in martial history lee
side the grandest heroes who have done
service in army and navy.
Captain Clark of the Oregon has nobly
won the honors his country bestows upon
its heroes. His unrivaled achievement in
making the longest voyage ever made
with a battieship and then participating
in one of the most memorable naval en-
gagements in the worlds history. doin:
incalculable damage to the cnemy's fleet,

latcs to when the volunteers will be mus

sion, is quoted as expressing the opinion
that an extra session of Congress will be

a THOUSAND MILLION DOLLARS.
That Is About What the War Will Cost
the United States.

"a OAAbSS otAtGos
The evidence on every hand that the
war is about ut I'M end has aroused the
mathematicians. They are now engaged
in demonstrating what the cost of the
whole war will have been to the Govern
ment, when the last volunteer soldier is
at home, the last penny of war bond in
terest paid. the last pension awarded.
This calculation is of course far-reaching.
Fairly accurate estimates of the eXtraor-
binary expenses of the army and navy
during March. April, May. June, July and
August gave them as $15O,OOO,OOO, of
which about S1O5,O00.OO0 was expended
between April % and Aug. g. and $123,-
100000 between April l and Aug. 6. The
latest calculation, based upon treasury re-
ports and comparisons with similar cX-
penses during the civil war. calculates the
war expenses from April 1, 1898. to April
i, 1899. at which time it is assumed all
extraordinary expenses will have ended,
mud adds thereto interest and pension
charges growing out of the war md an
arbitrary estimate of the value of the
labor lost by volunteers entering the army.
According to this calculation the wal will
eventually have cost the United States
81, OoO.OO0.0OO. Here is a table of esti-
mates of war expenses:
Current war expenses, April 1,
1888. to April 1. $3.50. 10000. $780, 600. 00O
War expenditures of the scpnr-
ate States 15,OOO,OOO
