only other ship that kept us company in the ordeal, and as soon as a heavy shot penetrated her bow at the water line and filled the front bunkers with water, Commodore Schley turned fur ther out to sea to avoid repetition of that mishap. Her bows lowered and her speed was much less, so that she was not in the race near the finish when the Cristobal Colon was beached. Commodore Schley signaled the Or egon to go in closer to shore and en- gage the enemy, knowing that our armor could not be penetrated. We went in and did the fighting for the fleet. The truth must sooner or later be known, and history will credit Captain Clark and his crew with an- initiating the Spanish armada.

THE TROUBLESOME TYPHOID.
An Epidemic Giving the War Depart
 ment Great Concern.

Washington. Aug. S.-An epidemic of typhoid fever which prevails in so many of the army camps is giving the war department great deal of con cern and steps are being taken to check the fever and prevent further spread Of the disease. Surgeon-Gen eral Sternberg today issued d circular calling attention to former circular issued by the medical department on April 25. The former circular was devoted to recommendations for the health of the troops, and minutely pointed out what to avoid and how the camps should be conducted from a sanitary point of view, together with suggestions as to the food and cloth ing of the soldiers. It is the opinion of the surgeon n-general that these con- ditions have not been carried out, and if the medical officers have failed to make proper arran gements, the re- sponsibility rests with them.

Spain's Almost Pitiful Presentation of Her Situation in the Philippines If in the Final Adjustment She
 Should Be Deprived of of Luzon Island.

Washington, Aug. 8.-It is the belief of prominent members of the admin istration that, although hostilities will cease between the United States and Spain within the next week or ten days, the treaty between the two coun- tries cannot be drafted and agreed to for sixty or ninety days to come. Now that Spain's reply is at hand com missioners on both sides will prob ably be appointed soon. The place of meeting, whether in the Unit ed States or in neutral territory, is yet to be definitely decided, although if Spain is as desirous as she is said to be that Paris shall be the place, Paris will be named. When this is deter mined, it will be several weeks before the commissioners can convene and the questions involved be laid before the commission. These questions are so important that it is not expected la decision can be immediately arrived at Diplomatic red tape unwinds slowly, and at every stage in the pro- ceedings beth governments must be consulted. The policy of the United States in the orient is primarily in- volved in the decision whether a naval station, a single island or the entire group of the Philippines are to be re- tained by this country in lieu of a monetary indemnity for the cost Of war, which Spain announces in advance she is unable to pay The loss of her most important l Asiatic colonial possessions, either in whola or in part, is at stake on the 1 side of Spain
 1 It is not thought that the peace
 commissioners will be able to reach
 an early conclusion of the question
 and, should they meet by the end oi the present month, it is not at all i'm
 probable that their deliberations will
 be in progress up to within a few
 weeks of the time set by law for the
 converting of congress. Senators who
 have been telegraphing for informa- l tion regarding the time when an extra
 session of the senate will be called
 have been informed by friends that il
 is not at all certain that there will be
 an extra session of the senate, and
 leaders of the house are confident that under any circumstances probable, nc
 session of congress will be held until December. Meantime, as soon as Spain announces her approval of our preliminary terms and her intention
 to evacuate Cuba and Porto Rico, mil itary operations in both islands will
 cease Until that time there will be
 no cessation in the preparations fol
 carrying on the war both on land ant
 sea.
 So certain is the president that peace
 is at hand that consideration has al
 ready been given to the necessity O.
 providing a large garrison for tne island of Cuba when the Spanish
 troops shall have evacuated. As {

Spains Answer at the French En-
 bassy.

Washington, Aug. S.-A dispatch received at the French embassy at 2:40 was the Spanish answer to the United States terms of peace. It was in cipher and is quite long. The en- bassy staff began it's translation at once, but it will take some time to complete the work.
 An impression is growing in official quarters that Spain's answer, while in the nature of a concession of the American demands, is not brief and simple acceptance, without. reservation or condition. The reply will be in the hands of the government in time for consideration at the regular cabinet meeting tomorrow morning when the sufficiency of the response can be de- termined

If Mckinley objects the cortes will be convoked this month. A fresh note from President Mckinley replying to Spain's reply is expected during the course of this week.

dered at Stanton, ILL.,, by
Otto Matthias.

Staunton, ILL.,, Aug. 17.-State Sem
ator w. II. Wall was shot and Instant
]y killed here Tuesday evening by Otto
Matthias, who escaped after the murder.
Senator Wall discovered a horse be-
longing to August Schadlich in his
field and went out to capture it and
take it home. While he was running
after the animal Mrs. Schadlich came
out into the field and a. quarrel started
between the two. The quarrel was OF
only few minutes duration, when the
woman returned hurriedly to the
house, where Matthias, who boards
with the Schadlichs, was standing.
The woman came out of the house with
shotgun, which she handed to Mat
tias. What she said to him is not
known, but he raised the gun to his
shoulder and fired, the charge of shot
entering the back Of Wallis head, pro-
ducing instant death. Matthias at once
left the house, and has not yet been
captured. The sheriff is on his track
with bloodhounds, and it is believed
that he will be captured. Mrs. Schad-
Itch was arrested.
Senator Wall had served several
terms in the state senate, and was one
OF the leading democrats of the state.
He is we'll known among politicians all
over Illinois. He was senior member of
the banking firm of Wall & Panhorst,
of this city.

The war has cost a round billion

valuable lessons.
We must build a navy Of the best

We must continue our attention

We must make our flag respected
