SPANS REPLY.

II is said to be a voluminous affair
and will take much time to transla e
it. 1t is thought that it will be
full of argumentatiye matter and
when translated will mean nothing
tangible. A Spanish officer who
seemed to know said:
"The information that has come
from Madrid about the action ofthe
Spanish cabinet indicates the Span
ish have accepted our terms in a
general way, but leaves several
questions open that we did not in
clude in the terms submitted. The
communication offering those terms
was explicit, specifically stating
such points as would be left open to
further negotiations. We will
stand by those terms"
There is but one way to get
quick and pointed reply from Spain,
and that is to start Sampson and
a good strong fleet to SPAN and al
so keep up our lick in Cuba and
Porto Rico, with rapid firing guns.
This we think this will haYe a sooth-
ing effect on the wounded honor
of the Dons.

GOT ENOUGH OF IT.

1t is said the answer that Spain
will make to our demand for peace
will be satisfactory, but this will
not end the war by any means, for
the cortes of Spain must be called
together and ratify the treaty,
thereby giving our country a clean
title to the territory already cap.
tured and that not taken by con-
quest but demanded by our govern
ment as a price of the expense of
war. This will take time and cause
much trouble and changing of
peace terms, unless our President
shows plainly that he will take no
foolishness or will he call eff the dogs
of war until the last minute. We
must be firm, or all the work we
have accomplished thus far will be
to do over again. That Spain has
received evidence of our superiority
on sea and on land there is no doubt
and unless she can get help the
battle is won by us and we should
demand that the peace terms be
closed immediately.

Spain Will Prosper.

Paris, August 8.-The Temps says
it is to be hoped the noble resigna-
ton of Spain will touch the heart
of President Mckinley and that he
will consider it honorable to show
that if the United States is strong,
it is great and magnanimous enoug b
to spare the vanquished enemy, not
to abuse its victory and to desire by
the generosity Of its acts to make
the treaty with the people they
have learned to respect on the bat
tie field a Yeritable compact Of
friends. 1t is certain, the Temps
adds, that Spain will be rewarded
for her wisdom. Freed from the
Cuban incubus, she will regain en-
ergy and vitality and march with
joyful steps toward a calm and
prosperous future.

General Shafter is kept in hot
water, even after his arduous cam
paign before the breastworks at
Santiago. The administration has
found fault with him in the ship
ping arrangement of the troops
back to the United States and ac-
cuse him of overlooking transports
and not providing the necessary
supplies, water and clothing for the
sick and wounded. The general
writes a letter generating him
self from blame, and putting a diff

charged to him. He pleads not
guilty. There is net much honor
after all in wearing shoulder straps

Editor Fatally Cut.

Stephenville, Texas, August s.
Last weeks issue of the Erath APP
peal, edited and published by John
Hibdon and Austin King, had re-
ference to Harry Williams.
This morning about $3.50 Williams
and his wife entered the Appeal Of
fee. Austin King was there alone.
The first witness who entered the
room found King with blood spurt-
ing from his bowels. King is still
breathing, but doctors declare
there is no hope for his recovery.
Austin King Is a son of County
Judge King. Williams came here
several months ago and welded
Mrs. Skipper.
Williams and wife are in Jail. The
excitement is intense.
A letter from one of our soldier
boys at Chickamauga, says that it
is a settled fact that they will be

that the company from Texarkana
want to 90 to the front aud have a

they will miss their bacon and

have had in camps.

M O Wing THE MEN
Major Sylvester Makes Some Changes in the
Force.
To Make the Service More Efficient
Where the Men

Major sylvester, superintendent of police,
announced several transfers of sergeants
and privates today. The transfers were
made in the interest Of the service, 1t being
thu intention of the superintendent to
strengthen the weak precincts. In the
second precinct there has not been the full
quota of sergeants for a long time, nor has
there been as many prfvatss was needed.
For this reason, it Is explained, the ueuten-
ant has been handicapped and has not been
able to have his men make the record they
should ordinarily have made. In order that
the precinct shah have a chance to build
up, several additional privates have already
been sent thsre. as heretofore published In
The Star Today Major Sylvester directed
that Sergeant Daley be sent there from the
fourth prscinct. This is only a temporary
transfer. and Sergeant Daley was selected
for the reason that his acquaintance with
the lawbreakers and the people generally
in the precinct will best fit him for the
work. His place in the fourth precinct
will be filled by Sergeant Dunnigan from
the second precinct. The assignment of Ser
geant Sullivan to the second precinct will
give the precinct the benefit of three active
sereeahts
Policeman Seibert, recently appointed in
pace OF Policeman Sweet, promoted, was
also az signed to the second precinct. The
changes mentioned affect only the second
and fourth precincts. Major Sylvester says
that the fourth precinct is in good shape
and he has every reason to believe that the
changes will be beneficial to the force.
Policeman Cowne goes from the third to
the fourth precinct, while Marshall and
Bruce leave the fourth precinct, the former
going to the fifth and the latter to the third
precinct Officer Mcnamara is transferred
from the fifth to the fourth precinct Officer
Patrick Madigan, who has been detailed ct
the Police Court in charge of the prisoners
for number of years, is to be relieved and
sent back to precinct duty. He will be de-
tailed on one of the patrol wagons.
Since Major Sylvester took charge of the
police department he has succeeded In get
ting the benefit of the services Of fourteen
m en- for street duty. This he accomplished
by the appointment of the special officers
at the railroad crossings and by changing
some of the details. While the major is
m aking the changes slowly. 1t is thought
that in a few months he will have the force
completely reorganized. 1t is his intention
to have old men fill the detail positions in
order that the young and active men may
be used where they are most needed.

Justice to the CoIored Troe

Justice to the CoIOred Troops.
To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Let me thank you for your editorial in
your issue of August 6, 1898, under the
heading, THE Colored Troops at Santiago"
Any acknowledgment made of the services
to their country of my people by the white
newspapers can but be welcome to those
who. in the main. have had only their poor
est side portrayed in public prints.
I have, on more than one occasion. been
gratified by the attitude of your paper in
touching upon our brave and devoted col
ored troops Up here, in my native state Of
Massachusetts,, 1 find on all sides commen-
dalton and appreciation of the gallantry of
colored soldiers. This however, excites no
wonder. But in a city like Washington.
when one of it's leading morning papers de-
lights to say that negroes disgrace the
United States uniform, It is comforting to
find so influential paper as yours manfully
and nobly giving honor where honor has
been earned. Your remark, after reciting
the facts of performances of colored SOL
diers at Santiago. that these facts are, of
course. highly gratifying to the colored
citizens Of the country, and should be as
well to all Others" Is far away in advance
OF heretofore ideas published in Washing
ton papers respecting our colored soldiers.
I thank you for It.

and had settled himself down for the morn
ing, when the judge called him to the rail.
I'm afraid you didn't understand what
l said,' the judge told him. II said for
you to CO."
Excuse me, judge" the boy said. 81
