PEACE STILL HANGS FIRE.

Washington, Aug. Spain has 'c-
cepted the peace terms OF the United
States. and Cambon so notified rresl-
dent Mckinley and Secretary Day at
the white House just before SIX this
afternoon. The acceptance has not yet
been formally made and will not be
announced until the ambassador ha'
had an opportunity to further consult
the Spanish government
No statement will be made by the
President yet, but it is probable that
soon after Spain has been informed OF
what took place at today's conference
the president will be prepared to an
nounce to the world peaceis assured
Although no statement has been
made, there is eason to believe that
the confer, nee to night the terms OF
the protocol TO be signed by both
governmsnts were discussed, and the
dissemination of the president with
regard 10 them communicated to Cam
hon. An outline ofthe protocol was
drawn up this evening and it is not
unlikely that by tomorrow night or
Thursday Cambon will have received
consent from Madrid enabling him to
consent 10 the terms outlined.

FRIDAY, AUGUST y. 1898.

The peace negotiations are proceed
ing as rapidly as could be expected
The protocol has been agreed upon
anil the French minister Cambon has
called to Madrid for authority to
sign it. 1t is expected that the Presl'
dent will declare the war over and
will order hostilites 10 cease at once
IfSpain should refuse to sign the
protocob thetyar would be waged
energeticalIy and the next terms OF
(ered would be more severe.
The general opinion, however, Is
that the war is virtually over and
that there is no necessity of more
fighting. Whatever our opinions may
have been as to the inauguration OF
the war, we will all rejoice over the
restoration of peace, and viii con
fdently expect prosperous times ]"

FOUGHT IN A RAGING Tf-
PHOON.

New York, Aug. GA cablegram
rom Manila Bay, August 4, via Hong
Kong, August 0, to an evening paper,
gives the following particulars OF the
lighting near Manila on the night Of
July 81:
General Greene's force, numbering
four thousand men, had been advan-
cling and entrenching. The arrival OF
the third expedition filled the Span
iards with rage and determined to
give battle before Camp Dewey could
be reinforced. The American trenches
extended from the beach, three hun
bred yards to the left flank of the
insurgents
Sunday, July 81, was the msur-
gents feast day and their left flank
withdrew, leaving the American right
flank exposed. Companies A and K
ofthe Tenth Pennsylvania, and the
! Utah Battery were ordered to rein
force the right flank.
In the MIDST ola raging typhoon
with tremendous downpOur of rain
the enemy's force, estimated at 3,OOC
men, attempted to surprise the camp
The American pickets were driven IL
and the trenches assaulted.
The brave Phnnsylvanians never
finch, but stood their ground undel
whitening fire. The alarm spread anC
and the First California Regiment
with two companies of the ThirC
Artillery, who fight with rifles, were
sent up to reinforce the Pennsylvan
ians. The enemy were almost OH tot
ofthe trenches when these reinforce
ments arrived.
Never was the discipline of th'
| American regiments better shown
than by the work of the Third Artil
lery, under Ceptain O'Hara. Nothing
could be seen but flashes of Mausel
rifles. Men ran right upto the attack
ing Spaliards and moved them down
with regular volleys.
The Utah Battery, under Captain
Young, a descendant of Brigham
Young, covered selfwith glory. The
men pulled their guns through mud
axle deep. Two guns were sent arounC
inAank and poured in a destructive
fire.
The enemy was repulscd and re.
treated in disorder. The American in
famtry had exhausted its ammunition
and did not follow theSpaniards.
Not an inch of ground was lost 10y
the Americans.

WAR ITEMS

The American troops at Porto klco
have begun a general advance on ean
Juan. The army is moving i'll four
columns. The troops have captured
Guayamo, an important town in Porto
Rico. 1t was occupied by the brigade
of Gen. Peter c. Hams. An official
dispxtch to Madrid states that seven
teen Spauiards were killed in defend
inc the rowA. General Miles reports
that three Americans were wounded
Roosevelt's Rough Riders, the
First Regular Cavalry and other
commands have sailed from Santiago
for the camp which is being prepared
for them Al Montauk, Point, l.. !.
General Garcia and his 1900 insur-
gents have left the province west OF
Santiago in high dudgeon because
the United States authorities refused
TO permit HIN to take up the relnS OF
the government Of the province. Inc
last heard of him he was west OF Hal
ouin proceeding toward NueTit"s'
in the province of Puerto Principe.
His purpose is probably to form a
junction with General Gomez, who IS
supposed to be in Santa Clara pre-
vince. A courier from Gomez is sup
posed to have reached Garcia last
Tuesday, near Holguin, commanding
Gen. Garcia to join forces with Inn
TO operate against the Spanish In
Santa Clara and Havana provinces,
independent of the United States
troops. Gomez proposes to continue
his guerrilla warfare regardless OF
any armistice between the United
States and Spain. Yet it is under
stood that Gomez and Garcia will
send to Washington JOINT protest
ON behalf of the so-called Cuban gov
eminent against General Skaters
ignoring the claims of the insurgents
70 administer the affairs Of the con
ouered territory. The American
officers at Santiago are carrying out
the orders from Washington in their
relations with both the Cubans and
the Spani.rdT
SPANS reply to the American aceep
terms were presented to President
Mckinley by Ambassador Cambon
last evening. 1t is not satisfactory.
A number of new questions are
raised in the reply. The Spanish min.
listers profess Willingness to the Tilted
States, but say they cannot do so with
out the authority of the Co ties 1t is
stated that a,mistice until the Cortes
can meet is suggested, the situation
in the meanime to remain as at pres
snt. According to reports the Spani h
ministry ask to retain Porto III ex-
cbange for ceding the PHILIPPINES
TO the United States.

VIRGINIA TEACHERS LEAGUE.

During the MI. jackson Norihal
an association of teachers was formed
for the purpose of inaugurating re-
forms in our school system and secui.
ing better advantages for teachers
The organization is called "Thc Nir-
ginia Teachers Cooperative League"
Following are the officers of the
League;
President, Prof. Dudley r. Cowles
Hampton; Vice President, Supt. f.
c. CLAIR, Lynchburg; Recording
Secretary, Prof. w. F. McIlwee, Re-
lance; Corresponding Secretaries,
Albert Will, Woodstock; Miss Vernon
Hotel, Pugh's Run.
Tbs president, the two secretaries
and the treasurer constitute the COM
mlttee on press. The constitution OF
the League provides for a committee
on ways and means, whose duty will
be to correspond with school boards
candidates for the Legislature and
the Legislature itself-with reference
to certain needed reforms that may
be recommended by the League.
Teachers may become active mem
bers and school officials and others
advisory members. Provision Is
made for county and district Leagues.
The membership fee is % cents an
nually, | 3 cents of which goes to the
State Treasury. The annual meet
ings of the League are to be held
during the term of the Virginia sum-
msr school of methods.
The cooperative League of Shen-
doah Teachers was also organized at
| Mt jackson last week, with the fol-
lowing officers; President, Prot. j.

stock next October. 1t is hoped that
by that time every teacher in Shenan-
doah will be enrolled as member,
and work earnestly to raise the stan
| dard of the teachers profession.
/ The League,at NJ. Jackson,adol ted
set of resolutions on the textbook
question, the last of which recon-
mended the appointment of a COM
mittee Of teachers by the School
Board of Shenandoah county TO re-
port on the matter of selecting new
books tor the schools of the county.
The board aiterward appointed the
?. following committee:
Lee-Prof. L. A. Luster.

Johnston-Prof J. II. Keller.
i Stonewall-Tchr. J. L. Kibler

1t is not yet known what change
will be recommended but it Is safe to
say that Holmes History will not be
left on the list. But whatever changes
are made will be for the best and no
objection need be made by patrons,
for the new list OF books adopted by
the state board are 90 per cent
cheaper than those now in use.
