ule or an inventory of the same ON

naturally raises an inquiry as to he
kind and quantity OF Spain's Pacific
expenditures" in the Philippine, and
scme light may now be given on lat
matter.
There is considerable traffic Bowed
the islands. and some time ago a sys-
tenn Of light houses became necessary.
Spain set out to supply this and pro-
jected 4S light stations. OF these she
has already constructed II of the frs
class and Is OF the second-class. What
they cost is not yet known here, but
in American waters those OF the first
class cost from $25 900 to $3.50, 900, SO
that on an average basis Of the min
imum cost In the United States Spain
80 light houses may represent an out
lay CT $S25.OOO.
Spain has constructed breakwaters
at Manila at an expense lot yet known
here, and wharves OF small value along
The Pasig river. She has recently
built barracks fer 1900 men, now oc-
cupied by American troops. the cost
OF which is not yet ascertainable.
At Cavite Spain has built a naval
station which, before lit was sacked by
the natives, was said to be equal to
the Mare Island station and may be
worth $2,5Oo, 900.
Whether the last two items can be
strictly designated Pacific expendi-
lures" must be determined in confer
ence, but the light house, water i'm
provements, barracks and naval sta
tion are necessary to the United States
as the me OF the Philippines and are
deemed worth a fair price.
Spain has also built some school
houses which the Americans are will
ing to take over at cost.
The Spanish commissioners listened
.attentively, though no without some
evidences CT impatience and surprise
at the final suggestions in the Ameri-
can presentment, and finally asked In
til Friday to consult the Madrid gov
eminent and make reply.
Adjournment was then taken to that
day. After the conference was dis
solved the Spanish commissioners ex-

Town Council Proceedings.

The newly elected officers of the in
corporated town of Vinita met last Sat
urday, the goth, and entered upon theil
duties, Deputy Clerk Anderson admin
istering the oath.
Agreeable to motion, committee con-
sisting of Oliver Bagby, ]. R. Sheehar
and L. w Burlington was appointed for
purpose of securing a domicile for the
new city court room, etc.
An ordinance was adoped providing for
the election of a marshal and the appoint
ment by him of deputy, each to receive
$40 month and fees. E. n. William
son, for several years Office deputy
United States marshal, was elected, and
appointed Joe Knight his deputy. Both
officers at once entered upon their duties,
and as will be noted in the ordinance
published elsewhere, will be required to
police the town day and night. They
will divide the time and the field as the
service and their convenience prompt.
AT special meeting held Monday night
Mr.. Williamson's bond was approved,
the sum being 1000.
In addition, ordinances have also been
adopted organizing the council for work
and also providing for city attorney,
Mr.. d. H. Wilson being chosen for this
responsible position.
The subject of street work, sanitary
condition of the town, and of public
schools have received consideration, and
definite action will early be taken along
these lines. By applying "pole tax"
law it is likely that work on the streets
can begin at once; and there seems moth
ing in the way of insisting with PEN
alty) on every citizen of the town clean
ing his premises and keeping them and
the streets clean. Without unnecessary
delay il is iikSly tax will be collected
for maintaining a white and colored
school
The new officers of tie new town have
gone to work with will and should have
the assistance and cousel of every good
citizen of the town.

A Fine Company.

The Ruble-Kreyer Theatre Co., play
ing all this week at the opera house, is a
theatrical organization worthy of patron
age. In fact, agreeable surprise has
been expressed by all who have wit
messed any of their performances. Prob
ably the presentation of no drama on the
American stage is essayed by so few
organizations as Monte Cristo, made
famous by James O'Neil. Without pre-
sunling to say the Ruble-Kreyers rivaled
O'Neil, it may be said to their credit
that those in the audience who had wit
messed the production of the piece by
his famous company went away with a
feeling of pleasure as though an old
acquaintance had been renewed. But
their good work has not been confined
to ''the Count" each evening has been a
pleasant one TO our theatre-goers, while
the music is far superior to the ordinary,
both the band and orchestra being made
up of thorough musicians.

Public Schools.

The question of public schools in
Vinita is one that is agitating some
of the thinking ones, and how to de-
wise ways and means TO start and
keep going educational facilities for
the children of the town is one of the
problems confronting the town. The
building which has been useo for the
Cherokee national school is not the
property of the Cherokee nation but
of the town, having been built by
popular subscription and occupying a
lot purchased in the same way. If
the school funds of the Cherokee ma
tion that are to be paid the teachers
appointed to teach here could be
made nucleus for city school fund,
under the direction of the city board,
matters would be very much simpll-
fed. 1t is the intention Of the city
administration to perfect plans at an
early date for complete system of
public schools in which the children
of the town may be educated, both
white and black: and a school tax
may be levied and collected for such
purpose soon, it not being necessary
or obligatory to await the regular
time for levying and collecting tax
under the Arkansas statute.

Honor to the Rough Riders.

A banquet was rendered the re-
turned rough riders at the Western
hotel Friday night by the citizens. of
Vinita, at which about sixty or sew
enty persons sat down. The dining
room and tables were tastefully deco
rated, the menu excellent and the
speeches extremely apt in vein. The
occasion served TO impress the sad
thought shat not all of the brave
boys would ever come home, and some
of those who have and are TO come
will carry through life the tokens of
their bravery. No command per-
formed the service or received the
ovation accorded to the rough riders
and the idea which developed into the
formation Of such a soldiery origi-
mated right here in Vinita.
