SPAIN READY TO ACT
On Receipt of Definite Answer From
the United States-SaSasta Charged
with Making Overtures to the Con-
servatives.

Paris, August 3.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of The Temps telegraphs this
afternoon, saying hat if the definite
reply of the United States on the
peace proposals arrives today the
Spanish cabinet will meet his even
ing and officially accept the terms.
The cabinet minister's, the correspond
ent adds, believed that the agreement
would be accepted by the country with
out opposition and the government
will not summon the corteS before the
fall.
Newspapers are attacking Premier
Sagasta and his colleagues, the corre-
SpOndent of The Temps continues.
They assert that the premier opened
negotiations yesterday with Senior
Pidal, president of the Spanish cham
Der of deputies, with the view of re-
turning the conservatives to power as
soon as peace is arranged, believing
that the conservatives are more COM
petent to organize the country. Senior
Sagasta'S partisans deny this.
Madrid, August 3.-Premier Sagasta

servative leader and other absent pol

Ponce, Island of Porto Rico. August
2, Morning. via St. Thomas, D W. l.,
August 1.-The Porto Ricans of Ponce
lined the streets by the thousands and
filled he air with cheering on the ar
rival Of General GarretsOn's brigade
from Yauco. The arrival OF these
troops and those on the St. Louis
makes the fighting strength Of the
Americans now operating near Ponce
about 5000 men, equal TO the entire
force OF Spanish regular troops on the
island.
General GarretSon'S camp is temper
arily near the Second and Third Wis
consin regiments on the outskirts of
the town. The brigade marched sew
enteen miles from Yauco. They arriv-

sive. There was some fighting last
night between Captain AuStin'S pick
cts and the SpaniardS in the brush,
but no damage was done.
All the American troops are restless
due to false alarms of the approach OF
the S~paniards, and they are anxious
for an encounter with the enemy. II
is the general belief, however, thai
there will be no forward movement OF
the main body of our troop until the
other transports arrive. They are eX.

Attempt TO Murder Two Women and .
Little Girl

Baltimore, Md, August "A my
sterious assault, which may result in
a triple murder, was made upon a
family residing in the lower part OF
the city this morning. The victims
are Mrs. Hannah Lillis, widow, aged
thirty-three; Winnie Lillis, aged
seven, and Mrs. Bessie Whether, aged
twenty-nine.
Mrs. Whether, who is separated
from her husband, boarded with Mrs.
Lillis, who, with her three children.
lived at I'll south Lemers alley. a
small t~horoughfare near the wharves.
Shortly after daybreak the police in
that locality heard cries OF murder"
and fastening to the house, found the
women and the little girl bleeding and
unconscious from wounds about the
head, evidently inflicted with the blunt
end of an ak. No motive can be as
signed for the crime, as the victims
are very poor, and no attempt at Grim
inal assault had apparently been
made.

The school board at Des Moines put
in a cooking department in the public
schools and hired a cook at $1,000 q
year. 1t started off with flourish,
and finally tumbled down to six
scholars. The board then abolished
it, after it had cost the tax payers
$1,000. 1t would be better if a lot of
other school fads were abolished, in
all our public schools, and more au-
thentic reading, writing and common
branches taught, which would be of
benefit to those who have to fight the
battles of life for bread and butter

This brief article from one of our

meets our approval. Instead of
teaching language which is not
spoken by any people on earth and
the proper pronunciation of which
no man knows, it would be better to
introduce Norwegian or German into
our schools than any dead language.
In all that is material in the every
day affairs of life there cannot he too
great thoroughness. That which is
not spoken by any nation or people
can well be omitted from our school
course, with profit to the school and

Alternative phrase: 1T is better

How happy were the republicans

thought. How Mark Hanna seized it
and how quickly he placarded the

mills wide open and bearing the
magic legend: ut is better to open

Mckinley has been president for
nearly year, and the mills of New
England are closing with unanimity
that is startling, while $4,000 cotton

and phrase are both discredited. Nc
Kinley is failure. The mills are a
failure.

Dingley says much, and the more he
says the worse he is off. At first he
said competition in the south closed
