-TO"ers MAY DC appeared TO.
Paris, Nov. 16.-A dispatch to the
Temps from Madrid says the officials
there do not believe the peace negotia-
tions will be broken off. 1t adds:
IF the United States persists in its
present claims, Spain will accept the
conditions. after formally announcing
at session Of the commission, and in
circular to the powers, that she yields
to force. owing to the impossibility of
renewing the war without unobtainable
assistance in defense of her rights"

the insurgent leader to be in OPP
position to, American control. II he
would prefer death at the hands OF
General Merritt to a return of Spanish
rule. 1t is not surprising; and as long
as he thought there was reason to an
ticipate the restoration of the islands
to Spain he could not be expected to
cooperate with our army. 1t becomes
more apparent every day that his state
Of mind and his personal ambition have
been misrepresented for a reason.
When the question of the final
disposition of the territory Is
discussed there is always a V ice
to say that owing to the wild
charao ter and mad ambition of the ig-
norant Filippinos We should have to
keep standing army of fifty thou
sand men in the islands.
1t has needed only some authoritative
assurance of protection against Span
ish vengeance and misrule to bring the
insurgents into absolute submission to
the American commander. They will not
stand by idle while the RIGHTS and ad-
vantages they have gained on the field
of battle are swept away by diplomacy:
but they will lend their hearty aid to
the Americans to drive out the Span
lard and set up any form of govern

The Opening of the Danube.
From the London Morning Post.)

(ffOH LOuuOn MORNING IOst-D
An important event for seafaring nations will
be the throwing open of the Danube in Ssptem-
Der to the regular shipping traffic. The formal
opening of the waterway took place in ls91 in
the presence Of the Emperor Of Austria and the
German Emperor when the great engineering
task undertaken Of blowing UP the Iron
Gates-grcat masses Of rocks which obstructed
the passage of large vessels But regular trafiic
has been impossible however. owing TO the nsces-
sity Of making the canal below Orsova deeper
in order to admit the large steamers plying up
the river from the Black Sea. The original pro-
ject allowed only for a canal Of depth of two
meters. I am told that this impracticable
depth was chosen by the ministry for stra-
tegic reasons, 1t being the intention Of the gov
erment to prevent the possibility OF a Russian
Black Sea feet penetrating into Hungarian terri
tory. In time Of war it appeared not unlikely
that feet of Russian vessels might find its way
to Budapest.
1t became clear, however, that. as the canal
would be useless for the greater part Of the
vessels plying en- the river, it would sink in
value from year to year. Consequently it has
become imperatively necessary to make the canal
three meters deeper. ! hear that the feared Rus
sian invasion is to be counteracted by an in
in the defenses along the river between
Orsova and Budapest. The cost Of the work Of
regulation are borne by Hungary, and about 49,
900 900 forms has already been expended. In
turn for this expenditure, Hungary has the right
to raise tolls from the ships using the canal.
A tariff has been drawn up and will be communi
Gated to Great Britain and other nations during
the next few weeks. 1t is hardly hoped that the
income will approximately cover the in
terest on the capital, which is said to exceed
100000 forms annually. The imposition Of the
tariff will probably begin in the Spring Of
1899. and at-the same time staff Of pilots will
be organized Orsova is to have a spacious har-
bor and quay. together with storehouses and
branch line Of the Hungarian State Railroads.

FRIDAY, AUGUST ). 1898.
Porto Rico and Spain.

The one place to which Spanish Off
cials have pointed as a proof of the
benefcence and popularity Of their ad
ministration is Porto Rico. Here. We
were assured, an intelligent people rec
ognized the justice and unselfishness OF
the Madrid government, and when the
time should come would fight Loyalty
to maintain their happy relations with
their benefactors. 1t was urged that
there had never been an insurrection Of
a formidable nature in this island. sole
ly because the people were satisfied
with Spains rule.
Yet when the Americans come, in
small force, to the boundaries of Por-
to Rican town they see their flag flying
over the government building and the
Spanish soldiers flying over the out
skirts of the place. They are pet by
the mayor who wears an American
flag in his hat, and welcomes them as
saviors. and by a brass band which
struggles with Yankee Doodle and
other national airs. The emotional citi-
zens fall On their knees in gratitude for
their deliverance, and then drag hidden
royalists to the American headquarters
with the request that they should be
killed at once. The populace ask to be
armed and allowed to assist in the ex-
termination of the Spanish troops.
There could be no more conclusive
evidence of the misery that attends
Spanish rule than the attitude OF tie
gentle Porto Ricans. They are not of
the type of the Cubans and the insur-
gent Filippinos. and can only be arous-
ed to such a measure of malevolenca
by long years of oppression. They are
the easiest people in the world to gov
ern. They have never sought inde-
pendence. never dreamed of enjoying
the freedom that has descended on
them like a blessing. Spain's failure to
win their approval and affection could
only come from cruel injustice and
rank robbery and unspeakable outrage.
If Spain at her best, with the gentlest
of p opl s,nakes her iule terror, what
can be expected of her if she is ever
allowed to resume her authority in the
Philippines? 1t has been shown in the
case of Turkey that all the powers of
Europe are unequal to the task of bind
ing malignant ruler in way to pre-
vent abuses. The worst of the Ar
menian atrocities took place after the
hands of the Turk were supposed to be
tied and all the nations We're pledged
to prevent misrule. Spanish barbarism
is not a thing to be restrained. and to
put back into the hands of that un-
civilized nation the people who look to
us for rescue would be the superlative
crime of the ages.

The Torture of Noises.

For years the New York people with
nerves have made war on unnecessary
noises. which are the least tolerable
Of all the noises of large community.
They are willing to endure what is be-
yond easy remedy. but it appears they
are forced to stand the needless ciamOr
also. Besides Washington, Berlin
seems to be the only city where noises
that torture are sternly prohibited. and
Berlin goes much farther than the
American capital. 1t is not long since
the porter of a hotel in Berlin was ar
rested and fined for whistling to call
a cab 70 the door. 1t happens to be
whistling that is the severest strain on
the patience of nervous people in this
community. Until midnight. there is
not an hour after dark that is not
shrill. The musical colored citizen is
the chief offender. Only the victim of
insomnia who succeeds in counting
sleep. to be aroused by the keen whistle
of the passing pedestrian, can fully
realize the enormous quantity of wind
that is expended in this way.
The New Yorker suffers not only
from the whistle, but from many other
unnecessary infiictions. No attempt
has ever been made to deaden the rum
BILE, rattle and screech of the elevated
trains, although it is easily practicable.
Downtown, where the street pave
ments are of stone. the noise made by
others. Uptown it is the bells, the
distraction in the evening when quiet
is most desired. During the day the
bawling huckster is the principal sinner
and he is a malicious demon. Men
with things to sell follow one another
closely. They stand before each door
and scream with all their power. AL
though they can be heard the distance
of square. they act as though only
the people of a single tenement can
hear them. Hour after hour the sense-
less torture goes on. varied by the
bugle blasts of the scissors grinder, the
plaintive cries of the old clothes man
and the roar of the coal delivery The
letter carrier has a shrill whistle with
which he announces his coming, and
it touches the nerves like biting acid
Ordinances there are that prohibit
all these unnecessary noises except the
church chimes. but no attempt is ever
made to enforce them. Just now the
afflicted citizens are making a COM
bined appeal to the authorities for re-
lief. The only relief they get is in ex-
pressing their feelings in a petition or
a communication to the newspapers.

Perhaps under European usage this
was not strictly in accordance with
military etiquette and discipline; but
1t is to be considered that the very
qualities which make the American SOL
diers uncommonly daring and hard to
resist lead them to do Just such orig
inai things They have the faults Of
their virtues, and must be taken as
they are in order to get the best serv-
ice they are capable Of. 1t is a fair
assumption that Colonel Roosevelt, act
ing as brigadier general, was the in
stigatOr of the appeal and protest to
General Shafter. He was only one
step below a Cabinet officer when his

he has received for his conduct On the
battlefield has set him up. in way.

claims to the attention Of the War De-
partment. Secretary Alger. taking ac-
count of none of these things. and re-

that it was because of the round

Secretary Alger made public the corre-
spondence with Colonel Roosevelt.
At any rate, it has had the effect
of Fastening the removal of the army
from it's unwholesome situation. and
this will compensate the officers for
any dissatisfaction on the part of the
Washington authorities. The criticism
of General Shafter for making public
the official statements as to the con-
dition of the army is wholly just. Meth
Ing else could give the same degree OF
comfort and encouragement to the ene-
my and tend to delay the peace ar
rangements. However. it has all
transpired at a time when Spain Is not
in situation to take advantage Of 1t.
and probably nobody believes it will
have any positive influence over our
dealings with that natien. The gratI-
flying thing is that the transportation
of the army to the north will begin at
once. and the feeble troops will be
saved from a trying march into the
interior.

ASuinaldo,s Tractabilfty.

The present attitude of Aguinaldo is
probably the result of assurances from
General Merritt that Spain will not be
placed in control of the islands rather
than of intimidation. For one thing,
the insurgent leader has proved that he
Is not easily frightened. When he be-
gan his career as a revolutionist, long
before the war between the United
States and Spain, he faced odds quite
as large as he would if he should op-
pose General Merritt. Spain had a
well-armed force, which had fought in

The Indians had a big blowout at the residence

name was not learned, also present and ad-
dressed the assembly. The festivities began at
9 o'clock and lasted until evening. The feast
was given by the host, Augustus, and must have

was served to the vast throng present.
These Indians are rapidly becoming civilized,
and are assuming the customs and dress Of the
whites each year. They have excellent farms.
good houses and machinery, and one passing
over the reservation would not believe that il
was occupied by Indians did he not see them.
Their houses are generally well built and painted
and look neat and clean, while many have ex-
cellent barns and farms well titled. They raise
a large amount Of grain each year and sell it in
Tekoa. A large portion of it Is loaded at a side
track the reservation, but the grain is sold
to Tekoa Dealers and the money is largely spent
there. Many Of them dress entirely like white
people and come to town in fine carriages and
hacks. They are quite industrious and are ex-
cellent citizens and always peaceful except when
under the influence Of liquor, sold to them by un-
scrupulous white persons. The Indian trade Is
one Of Tekoa's main resources.
