Particulars of Maine Sportsmen's
Excursion to kineo.
Horace Atwood Reappointed Steamboat In.
Military Matters.

The Maine Srortsmen's Fish and
Game Association have made all the
arrangements for their excursion to
kineo, which occurs the 11th to 18th
or July. Tickets will be good to go
either the 1lth or 18th, and return on OF
before the 18th. The season will be at
its best at kineo, and Mr. Dennen, the
manager of that magnificent hotel, has
reduced his rates nearly one-half for
this occasion. The railroad and steam
boat fares will be about one-thrd the
regular rates, SO that there can be no
doubt but that a large party will avail
themselves of the opportunity to so.
Detailed information will soon be sent
out by the secretary. Governor Pow
ers has already signified his intention
TO he present. This is the third annua,
excursion of the association, and the
governor has been present at each

Tie rep, =entatives Of Spain have pre-
g-ted a long argument denying that

claim To the Philippines now made by
TIL Americans and pleading for the
submission of the question To aTbitTa-

already and fully belonged to this
country. and that therefore the appeal
for arbitration cannot be considered
or amy further discussion Of the ques-
ton of title allowed; that the matter of
comp nsation for Spain's outlay for the
benefit Of The islands may be taken up
later as a matter of equity, but apart
from all questions as To the force and
meaning Of the protocol.
This would leave no room for further
discussion except on the subject of in
demnity Ii leaves no reasonable
ground for further postponement. If
the American attitude is correctly rep
resented the Spaniards must say, at the
next meeting, whether they intend TO
concede the American title. If not, the
conference must end and America must
proceed to enforce her claims and also
prosecute the interrupted war to fin
ish. However, if the Spaniards do not
positively reject the American conten-
tion. there viii probably be another de-
lay in order To allow the Spanish Com
missioners to consider the demand and
communicate with Madrid. AS long as
there is a pretense that they are think
ing about the matter in good faith and
not for delay, they will be allowed to
postpone a decision. We do not think
the American Commissioners appre-
ciata the gravity of the situation in the

consent TO a single days postponement.

One of the most astounding and hor-
rible of all the criminal defects of the
army in Cuba was the neglect of all
provisions for the wounded. There were
no litters and no litter-bearers: there
was no one to pick up the wounded as
they fell, stanch the flow of blood, ad-
