END OF WAR IS NEAR.
Spain Accepts Uncle Sans Conditions
of Peace.

Vi xe8cos
A special to the New York Even
ing Journal from Madrid, Aug. End,
published in late edition of that
paper, says:
Spain accepts the principal con-
ditions of peace az set forth by the
American Government, and only
the peace details are needed to cause
all hostilities to cease at once. A
peace delegation will be chosen at
once to confer with the representa-
tives of the United States.
The peace conditions set forth
by President Mckinley were dis
cussed at length by Minister Sa-
gasta, and at the conclusion it was
given out officially that the terms
of the United States would be &C.
cepted.
There are one or two amend
ments to the proposition of the
United States that Spain will ask
be made, and if this is done, peace
will be declared a: once"
The Madrid correspondent Of the
Daily London Mail says: "The
Government has accepted the prin-
cipal of the American conditions,
but the acceptance will not be made
public until inquiries to Washing
ton on matters of detail have been
settled, thus rounding of the pre-
liminary basis.

WAR INEVITABLE WITH AGUINALDO.
The lnSurgent Leader Has Planned Tie
Massacre Of Catholics


The Insurgent Leader Has Planned I'll.
Massacre of Catholics.
The officials at Washington ex.
press apprehension of serious
trouble to follow the exploitation
of our programme in regard to the
Philippines. The reports of the
military and naval commanders OF
late have contained warnings OF
expected conflicts with the insur.
gents. and no surprise will be felt
at the receipt of news of an out
break at almost any moment.
The United States Government
feels that it has assumed a moral
obligation towards not only the
foreign residents at Manila, but
toward the unprotected classes OF
the Spanish community, women,
children. nuns and priests. There
fore, when intlmation came that
the insurgents were threatening the
lives of some helpless monks, or
ders were sent 10 the American
military commander to look into
the matter and to act in the interest
of civilization and humanity.
As'according 10 report the insur-
gents have shown particular hos
tllity toward the monks, it is a
reasonable expectation that before
long collision will have occurred
between themselves and the Amer
lean troops, if the latter undertake
to interfere in the execution of the
vengeance Of the insurgents.

SURRENDER or SANTIAGO.
General Skaters O6cial Repor'
Received It Last.


The Secretary Of War has received
the following letter from General
Shafter, transmitting the commits
sioner's report Of the surrender Of
Spanish territory at Santiago.
Camp before Santiago, Cuba,
July 18.-I take the liberty of send
ing you, this morning, copy Of the
agreement between the commission
ers on my part and the commission
ers on the part of the Government
Of Spain for the surrender Of eastern
Cuba. The schedule just submitted
shows there to be little over q, 900
men and oficers-about 5000 more
than | have had myself, aud | am
very glad to say we have got all
these men with very little loss Of life
compared with what it would have
been had we had to fought them.
The city of Santiago is simply
net work of Notifications at every
street corner. / had no proper con-
ception of its strength until | went
into it, although / knew those old
Spanish towns were naturally very
strong.
I'VE have gotten a great deal
more than ! bad any idea Of getting
in the way OF munitions of war. In
everything but food, they were we'll
supplied. Have got about dozen
beautiful modern high power guns.
"My only fear is that we shall
have some sickness, and it is for
that reason that / have wired you
SO earnestly about getting these
prisoners away so that we can 60
up in the mountains with my COM
mand, fifteen or twenty miles. at
the end of the railroad Of San Luis,
which is said to be very healthy. i,
is at any rate, about 1900 feet above
the sea level and has communication
by rail with Santiago.
$50 far there is no fever in San
tiago, suppose because there is no
one there except immunes. Three
cases only so far this year, and the
English Consul tells me there was
very little last year.
"Ofthose here who served through
out the Civil war, all declare they
never had anything that could COM
pare with it for hardship. With
only one set of clothes, officers have
been until now rained on nearly
every day, carrying three days ra-
tions, like The men, on their person
and suffering every privation that
any man can; added to all these
privations in addition all the hor-
rors Of disease in an unknown land
and very limited Accommodations
should they be wounded. The spirit
shown by them and by the whole
army was simply grand. can re-
call no instance where greater
had been made than this.
The final surrender of Gen.
Teral and his Generals to myself
and Generals, was highly dramatic,
also the raising of the flag over the
city Of Santiago, one of the oldest
cities on this continent. l want to
thank you and the President for the
words of cheer that have come TO
US, and say that none of US have
ever doubted that every possible
effort was made TO make our lives
as secure and our situation as COM
Portable as possible would be done. !"

A horrible condition OF affairs is
reported to exist in Havana. An
average of twelve persons are found
dead on the streets daily who have
starved to death. Scores die Of
hunger in their homes, while among
the reconcentrados the death rate
is appalling. Prices are so exorb-
liant that scarcely anything can be

pound in overcoming female Ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. J. c. Orms, of eco

earnest and straight to the point:
!" DEAR Mrs. PISKHAM.-I feel IL nv

for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department Of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailin0

whether vessel destroyed is superior OF
inferior to her antagonist. If the latter
the American ship will be entitled to 5000
for each person on board the enemy. OF
course this will swell the amount of prize
money due the admiral.
1t is estimated that, including the Mer-
cedes, sunk at the mouth of the harbor
OF Santiago, there were 2492 persons on
board the Spanish fleet destroyed by
Simpsons command, which was superior
to the enemy and the amount of head
money due the fleet will consequently ag-
gregate $249,200. Besides these ships
Spanish men-of-war were sunk at Manza-
milo, Nipe and other points along the
Cuban coast, the destruction of which
each means prize for the officers and
men participating in the work.
Many Questions to Settle.
Legal officers of the department will
be requested to determine whether mer-
chant vessels carrying guns in their hold
like the Santo Domingo, which was sunk
by the Eagle, come within the meaning OF
the section providing for the payment
of bounties for persons on board. These
question may delay the adjudication of
amounts due officers and men interested.
The department was notified few days
ago by Judge Locke of Florida that lie
would turn into the treasury the net
amount resulting from the sale of the
cargo of coal on board the British tramp

AUGEsSUM Of PRIZE MONEY
SEVENTEEN MILLIONS IN ALL.
The Navy Is the Safest and Best Paid
Work In the Time OF War, With
Its Chances for Prizes, as Few
Are Killed in Battle.

New York, Sept. GA dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says:
At least $l7.00O,O00 in prize money will
be distributed among sailors as result
of the war with Spain. More than half
of this award will be in accordance with
that section Of the law providing for the
payment of bounty to persons aboard the
vessels that sunk the Spanish fleet.
L Although not penny of prize money
has yet been turned into the treasury
Judge Advocate Lemley and his chief
clerk, MIR. Hanna, are engaged in consid-
ering the various claims for prize money
that have been filed by the officers and
men, and in passing upon the various
questions which have arisen.
From the official report of Admiral
Montojo, commanding the Spanish fleet
at Manila, there were 1875 persons aboard
his ships. The bounty amounts to 1885,
500, which congress will be asked to ap-
propriate during the coming session. One
twentieth of this sum belongs to Rear
Admiral Dewey, commander-in-chief, and
he will therefore be $9375 richer than he
was before the war!
SampsOn's Big Share.
Rear Admiral Sampson has realized a
snug little fortune as result of the war.
As commander in-chief of the North At
lantic fleet he will get one-twentieth of
every prize taken by the North Atlantic
fleet and one-twentieth of the head money
allowed for the vessels destroyed off San
tiago and in Cuban ports. 1t is estimated
that he will finally receive about $40, 1000
as his share of prize money.
In determining the amount of head
money due officers and men it will be
necessary for the department to decide

By local applications. as they can not reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-

the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out, and this tube restored to its normal
