NEW YORK, June 18.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Madrid says: AN allocution
to the government by the powerful Council
General of Catalonia, which represents the
mercantile intelligence of Spain, calling tor
peace, has created deep impression here,
all the more on account of the logical and
practical reasonings with which the council
advocates q cessation of hostiIities. 1t
states that. although the council considers
Americas conduct unqualifedly unjust yet
that does not justify Spain in continuing an
unequal combat, which is bound TO result in
overwhelming ruin 1t is better it says.
to submit to an amputation, painful though
it be, than to carry On a terrible war, with
its thousands of disasters. The matter. will
not be any more glorious after we have
been ruined and the blood of thousands of
our soldiers she'd The allocution ends with
a call for immediate peace.
1.-The endless objections raised in the Cor
tes to the taxation necessary for the CON
tinuation of the war are met b. the gov
ernmental organ, FL Dia. 1t says: aThe
country neither asked for nor wants war
1t understands neither its origin nor its
issue, and on that account shows neither
enthusiasm of any kind. nor on that ac-
count does 1t respond by its attitude to the
responsibilities which the situation imposes
upon the government. 1t refuses sacrifices
which would willingly be accepted under
other circumstances. With such senti-
ment existing 1t is impossible TO ask the
government to prolong war for which the
country does not seem inclined to provide

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

As was to be, expected the presi-
dents message is rather OF a long
document, but it has great many
matters to deal with. Besides review
ing the war and the causes leading
thereto, hes had long list Of sub.
jects to refer to. This last year has
been a busy one Every matter
touched upon is handled in a most ad-
mirable manner. There is no inti-
nation by the president that he is
greater than congress or the people,
but simply a tone which implies that
he wishes to find out their desires and
execute them. There has been an ex-
pectation on the part Of some that
the president would either refer to,
or outline some policy of government
for the new possessions which have
fallen to this country. But he does
neither, making no reference to them
in this way further then to ask that
the military government instituted
therein be continued for the present.
The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1898-12-09

And this is about all he could do, as
the treaty Of peace has not yet been
signed and ratified and it would be
crowding matters somewhat to
anticipate that. In financial matters
he renews his recommendation of a
year ago that when green backs are.re-
deemed by the governmeDt,it hey shall
be paid OUT again only for gold. 1t is
not to be inferred by this, he says.
that other legislation relating to our
currency is not needed, but that on
the contrary there is an obvious de-
mand for it.. Every question is met
lDanfuIly, with no disposition what
ever TO shirk his duty in any respect.
Congress has the official information
aud the burden of action now rests
upon 1t. The president has done his
part well.

Camp at Eagle Lake Burned.

GREAT POND, Jan. 8 Especially .-How-
ard Lords camp at Eagle lake was burned
little before noon OF Wednesday, Dec. 29.
The fire originated in the roof, around
the stove pipe.
Mrs. Lord had been cooking there for
several weeks and was alone at the time, t he
crew being at work some distance away.
She succeeded in saving IA suit of hes,
two small spreads, and small portion of
the provisions. The remainder of its con-
tents, including several guns and the cloth
ing belonging to the men, Was destroyed.
The camp Is being rebuilt. Mrs. Lord
WAS quite badly burned about the head,
arms and hands. William Ames, of
Shawmut, who was staying at the camp,
lost camera containing views around
Nickatous and Eagle lakes, and in the
more immediate vicinity OF Great Pond
which he regrets much more than the
gun and OF her articles which he lost.

THIS Is DIFFERENT.

Another Side to Story of Charles IL.
Rich's Matrimonial Experience.
1t seems there is another side to the
story Of the marital woes OF Charles II.
Rich, OF West fremont. Rich's story
Of the affair placed him in the light OF
after two weeks OF married life, his wife
left him in Gloucester and sailed off on he
schooner "Charleston" in which they had
left Boston. Now the captain OF the
schooner, Charles Clement, OF Penobscot,
comes forward and says that he never
hired Rich anyway. Rich just came
aboard and wanted to ship. He told him
he had no place. Rich left but came
back and brought his wife, and as it was
stormy he let them stay. The next day
Rich asked for passage to Bucksport and
Capt. Clement agreed. On Saturday they
put into Gloucester. Mrs. Rich had
come aboard i'll, and grew worse. Sunday
they thought she would die.
According to Capt. Clement, Rich
showed no concern whatever. Rich
growled about the fare, and was invited
to leave and take his wife. The woman
was taken ashore. Rich and his wife had
a scene and Rich cast her off, says Capt.
Clement. The girl was alone and unpro-
tected, and they brought her TO the YES
sci, treating her as they would their own
daughter.
Rich obtained passage on the "Clara
Dinsmore", and as he passed out OF the
harbor he sang out: Good bye, Pm
going to leave you"

DANCED THE NEW YEAR IN.
Successful Concert and Bali of Sena-
tor Hale Hose Co.

tor Hale Hose Co.
The Senator Hale hose company and its
friends danced the New Year in. The
ball, the concert which preceded 1t, and
the supper which intercepted 1t, were
alike enjoyable.
The concert programme was one of the
best ever prepared as the prelude to
ball in Ellsworth. The programme
follows:
Music OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Orchestra
Soprano solo,. .......... Master Walter Besse
Flute -oio George + Marshall
Contralto solo......Mrs w \ Nelson, of Bangor
Baritone SOLO. PROF Charles Eaton, of Bangor
Tight-rope walking. ........Alvin lianey
Contralto solo Mfrs W a Nelson, of Bangor
Character songs. .....-...............W II Flint
Music. Observation-Disclosures. Orchestra
Miss Mary F. Hopkins was the accom-
PIANIST. All the parts were well taken.
Mrs. Nelson was warmly received. She
has rich contralto voice, and her man
ner was pleasing. She sang second time
by request
Walter Besse, the boy soprano, is grow
ing in popularity. His voice has lost none
OF its sweetness. MIR. Flint, the character
song artist, ever popular in Ellsworth,
still retains his prestige.
The tight-rope performance OF Alvin
Haney is deserving OF special mention.
Haney is an Ellsworth boy who began
walking the tight-rope for his own
amusement, and has become an expert at
it. He seems perfectly at home on the
rope. This was his first public perform
| ance.
The flute solo by Mr.. Marshall and the
baritone solo by Prof. Eaton we're artisti-
caliy rendered.
The dance which followed was notable
for the large proportion OF those present
at the concert who participated. Music
WIS by Monaghan's orchestra.
The supper was feature OF the evening.
A regular New England supper was
served, and bountiful one it was, the
housewives OF Ellsworth having proven
their friendlness for the tiremen rs they
have done on many previous occasions.
The officers of the evening were as fol-
lows:

HANCOCK NEUROLOGY.
RESIDENTS OF THE COUNTY WHO
HAVE DIED IN PAST YEAR.
One Centennarian Among the Number-Many Had
OUTLINED Their "Three Score Years and Ten.

The number OF deaths in Hancock
county for the year just closed, as re-
turned to THE AMERICAN by the town
clerks OF the various towns, is 500. In
1896 the returns showed 4i3 deaths, or
60 less than in 1897. The returns from
few towns are Incomplete, owing to the
failure OF physicians to make returns as
required by law; but on the whole the
table below gives a fairly accurate state
ment OF the number of deaths by towns.
The figures of 1896 are given for COM
parison.
