The battle ragged for three hours and

Our Volunteers made glorious de-
fence against upwards of 5000 Spanards
who were in the attacking force.
Various reports give the American

Reply Being Delivered.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Spanish
answer to the American peace condi-
tions will be presented to the govern
ment probably this afternoon, although
no time has yet been fixed.
If possible NJ. Cambon will deliver ii
today and there may be no occasion for
a conference with the President.
The manner in which this matter has
been attended to by Spain is very
strange in that instead of sending the
reply when it had been fully prepared a
summary of the whole preceded the
formal reply.
There is no doubt this morning i'll Of
fetal circles but that the terms are
practically all accepted and that they
will be agreeable to our government.
Although no one in Washington except
NJ. Cambon and his staff can say what
the exact contents Of the whole message
are it is an assured fact that there are
no serious complications except that the
transactions will not be valid until the
Spanish Cortes shall ratify them.
This is due to the fact that the span
ish Cabinet, under the constitution o.
tha, country, has no right to ccde terri
tory. This is only sub ject to the ruling
of the Cortes.
The next stop to be taken after the
reply has been considered will be the
work of the peace commissioners. u

these newspapers, from causing

SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM

tlunces upon the general morale is
sensational Journalism. And in
| that category we include that class
which goes into exciting details ov-
cry crime that is committed. Re-
spectacle papers which, in "giv-
ing the news dilate upon the Incl
dents connected with every occur
renee wherein there can be en-
plOyed the exciting talents Of the
writer.
1t seems to be the aim of these
reporters to clOthe every act or in
cident with cerain kind OF charm
which, in some instances, but
feeds the lowest instincts of the
human !aaeSires: arousing a certain
kind of sOrdid amition whose friend
is evil. And this is true whether
detailing the events of dog fight,
fire, murder or the terrible crime
against our womanho0d.

feast OF the prize ring, that there is
neither inclination nor room for the
strengthening food provided by
the editorial.
And now to a practical lesson.
That horrid fiend Streeke, who
was burned in Webster parish last
Saturday. An awful ordeal it
was; revolving to the senses and
sentiment of enlightened people.
But it was deemed necessary. We
are told thot some Of the best peo-
pie in that parish took part in or
Witnessed the terrible holocaust.
They appreciated the crucial or
deal, the dangerous object lesson
they were laying down, the uncer-
tain precedent they were establish
ing. Not a heart throbbed with
the unholy lust for the sensational.
A nobler fire burned on the sa-
cred altar, Love of home, pro-
lection of our women furnished
the fuel for this sacred fire.
With cool determination they
passed Judgment. There must be
terrible, a horrible punishment
for such an aweful deed. And the
fiend was burned at the stake.
But will the lesson prove the ex-
ample it was designed to be?
Will it bear the fruit that it sowed
to reap, a most stupendous warn
ing to all others who may have
like inclinations? We fear not;

THE OHIO CONTEST.
rom the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The clouds which have overhung the
Ohio senatorial election seem to be break
ing up, and there appears now to be a
fair prospect of Senator Hanna's cleo
tion. The actual recapture of two of the
boilers who have come over to his col
umn will have a moral weight greater
even than mere number. 1t shows the
effect of the awakened public sentiment
and will displrit and discourage the OPP
position. The same influences are quite
likely to reach others, and it would not be
surprising If the movement against Mr..
Hanna should now crumble to pieces.
The storm of indignation which has
swept over the state and indeed over the
country against the treachery which was
uncovered at the organization of the leg
islature, is far greater than the conspir-
ators expected to face. They did not
realize how deeply their perfidious act
would revolt and outrage the sense OF
fairness which belongs TO most men. Mr..
Hanna has made his enemies. No man
could perform the great work he has
done during the last three years with
out making them. But his personality is
only secondary matter. He Is the rep
resentative Of the party and the embod-
iment of its will and its unity. He was
made its candidate and was accepted as
such. The fight against him was not
open and frank. but stealthy and insid-
ious. 1t involved a violation of every
code of personal and political honor, and
this attempt to betray and defeat the
party and to jeopardiZe every high pub
lie interest for mere personal revenge
and malevolence has aroused u tempest
OF indignation before which the conspir-
ators will find 1t hard to stand.
