MILES FooLKG EVERYONE.
WASHINGTON, July y26.-The news ofthe
landing of General Miles at Guanica, on
the southwest shore of Porto Rico. came
as genuine surprise to the war depart
ment. 1t had been carefully planned
that he was to make his landing in anoth
er point, as remote as possible from the
place where he actually landed. so there
was little wonder that the officials receis-
ed the first news OF the landing with in
credulity, and even went 10 the length OF
supposing that the story had been put
afloat in order to direct attention from
the point which had been selected.
just why General Miles made this wide
departure from the plans of the depart
meHt is not known, but it is supposed
that be gathered some information since
he lef Siboney that induced him to take
chances. The result, however. has. been
to perplex the department officials deep
ly, and to considerably derange their
carefully prepared program for the re-
mainder of the expedition. II viii now
be necessary to intercept the section Of
the expedition already at sea heading for
certain selected points on the coBst of
Porto Rico and TO advise them of the
change 10 the plans.

SPAIN to-day knows the terms which
she viii be compelled TO accept in order
TO obtain peace. She will have to imme-
diately evscuate Cuba. Porto Rico aud
the minor islands in the West Indies
over which she holds sovereignty. All
these islands except Cuba she viii be
required to formally eede TO the United
States. No conditions will attach to
her abandonment Of Cuba except that
she shall relinquish her connection
with it forever. The United States will
be free to do with Cuba what it viii,
subject, of course, to the promise that
it will give the Cuban people chance
10 choose the destiny-separate inde-
pendenee or annexatiOn-whieh they
desire, the United States meanwhile
retaining an army of occupation in the
island and maintaining protectorate
over it. The United States demands q
cosIing station and an island in the
Ladrones, and a eoaling station in the
Philippines, the City of Manila, with
its bay ami harbof, to be held pending
the disposition which is to be made Of
the whole group of islands. This mat
ter is to be determined by joint
American and Spanish commission.
The terms here offered represent the
minimum territorial demands which
the United States will exsct from
Spain.
Upon Spain's acceptance or rejection
of these terms, and her answer is daily
expected, depends the continuance of
the war. The probabilities all are that
she viii promptly accept them, and
that before the expiration Of the pres
ent week an armistice will be declared
pending the final and conclusive ar
rangements for peace, and that within
the next two months a large portion of
the volunteer army viii be mustered
out of the United States service.

LOVE SIGN OF THE ROSE.

She trained little rose to grow
And grace the gate above;
And hence, l love the pathway so
That leads me to her love.
And oft my heart before me goes
To read the love sign of the rose.
Though fairer bloom for lovers tryst.
To me it seems as fair
AS if an angels lips had kissed
And blessed it., blooming there.
For Heaven it's sweetest smile bestows
On the dear love sign of the rose.
The pattering of little feet,
When shadows blur the sight,
And rosy-twining arms that meet
And necklace me at night.
These my glad heart enraptured knows
At the dear love sign of the rose.
Not far away Loves steps shall stray
In thorny paths to roam,
While DER the meadows of life's May
Shine signals sweet of home.
When night falls drear, one heart still
knows
Rest at the love sign of the rose.

If the statesmen of Europe think
they can brighten the United States by
invoking that diplomatic DOGGY, the
concert of the powers, they need a little
further study of the situation. In the
first place, there will be no concert of
the powers in opposition to America,
because the strongest of the powers,
Great Britain will be absent from it,
and, in the second place, the pusillani-
nifty displayed by the so-called concert
where it has been exploited recently
has caused this country to hold it less
in fear than in contempt. The United
States has no mind to interfere in
European affairs, but. if it had, it
would begin by accepting the alliance
to which Great Britain invites it, and
these two would easily dominate the
other powers. Sa v& as
