WHAT BOSTON EDITORS SAY.

Spain May Surrender More Than an Ar
mistice In The Journals Estimation.
Boston. April 1.-THE Journal treats
the offer Of an armistics as ''one sign
OF yielding at Madrid. 1t does not
change the aspect Of this point" the
paper says. ''for the Spanish authori-
ties to declare that they give to the
powers OF Europe and to the pope what
they refused TO grant us. An armistice
ig sign OF yielding. and II is possible
that when Madrid hears the voice of the
American people demanding the free
dom OF Cuba. Spain may surrender more.
Upon this possibility Alone depends the
outlook for peace"
The Post cogitates as follows Some
OF the Madrid cables call IL an 'armis-
tice. This Ia a misnomer. There are
two parties to the fight In Cuba. as in
every fight. One of them proclaims that
lighting Is to stop for few days. a few
weeks-no one knows how long. What
does the other say? Unless both-agree
to stop, the fighting Is very likely to go
on. Gomez and all the rest Of the Cuban
leaders have constantly declared that
they will not stop pghtins-that there
shall be no armistice--without indepen-
dence as a prerequisite
The Advertisers editorial deals with
the latest phase OF the Cuban situation,
the significance OF which. II says, will

l solved, That the Annexation to tho United

ment on broad lines. The judges seemed to

The opinion Of the judges given in favor

one as could have been given. The represen-

disputed and that long ago the advantage OF
| Cuba as a possession OF the United States had
| been discussed by such statesmen as Jeher-

! Mr.. Coffey, the first speaker for the negative
denied that the annexation OF Cuba would

| stragetic point Of view and quoted from an
article by James Bryce on the great benefits

tails from Alaska increase the horrors
of the avalanche in the Chilkoot pass in

bodies have thus far been recovered, and
the names Of $50 have been reported az

that some of these had succeeded In

that between rs and 100 persons were

1t was stated after the delivery of the
treaty TO the President that it would
not be made public at pres
ent. the usual courtesy TO
the Senate requiring that it should
be submitted to that body before
being made public. In the meantime
it will remain in the custody OF the
State Department for safe keeping, al
though copies of it will be in the hands
of the President for such consideration
rs may be needed.
1t is the impression that with the sub
mission of the treaty to the President,
the official existence Of that body will
have terminated should there be occasion,
which is scarcely conceivable, for fur
Their negotiations of any of the subjects
touched by the treaty, it is said that
this will either be done by direct ne
gotiation with the Madrid Government
or through an entirely new commission.
1t is expected that the treaty will be
submitted to the United Safes Senate
almost Immediately after the reassem-
bling of Congress.

night here between two young men that
came near being fatal for one of them.
Messrs Robert Rice, an employee III
the Lawson warehouse, and Charles
Riggs, an employee here for the Ameri-
can Tobacco Company, were iii store
and were joking and froicking. Mr..
Rice seemed to tire of the frolic sooner
than Biggs expected, and began to abuse
Biggs in "cuss" language. Biggs ran
at him, whereupon Rice secured four
pound weight from the counter and
struck Biggs on the head. intiicting 1
very ugly wound and one that will per
haps prove serious. They were separated
and no further trouble ensued.
Rice has skipped, it is supposed, as he
cannot be found.

gineer, Mr.. G. II. Garrard, had come
into town TO get the money to pay off
the hands. He secured about thousand
dollars. He rode out of town on horse
back and his direction was toward the
Okefenokee swamp, although he was
some distance from it. He was not
aware that anybody was near, when
suddenly eight negroes rushed out of a
thick clump of bushes and each levelled
pistol at him. They demanded his
money and showed that they intended
to kill him if necessary.
As Mr. Garrard gazed into the mua.
zle of a deadly pistol, he felt that he
was in a dangerous place. He replied:
swell, boys, you have the drop OH me.
l suppose there is no use in 10y resist

He felt in his pocket as if re- draw

he brought forth his pistol and it came
out belching lead. The ringleadar zen

regarding the German Interpretation of
the answer of Count Thun- Hohenstein,
the Austrian Premier, to an interpella-
