CONSIDERED PRACTICALLY ENDED

Hostile E1ot.

Hostile Shot.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE Tribune's
Washington special: The army and
navy officers consider the war practi-
cally ended SO far us actual HOSTILE
ties are concerned, and there will be
no occasion hereafter to fire a hostile
shot, except in the slight resistance
that may be offered by the Spaniards
TO the progress of the American forces
in Miles brilliant Puerto Rican cam
paign. At any rate it is considered
inconceiyablc that any new or extern
sivc operations will need be under
taken, and even il peace negotiations
are conducted in a dilatory manner,
which course will be inseparable from
the %Spaniards, IN armistice can hardly
be delayed beyond II week or ten days,
and by that time the Spanish garri-
sons at San Juan and Manila will haVe
laid down their arms Is they die at
Santiago. Under the circumstances it
is not surprising TO find that in the
war department, as well as in the navy
department, preparations for the new
conditions of peace are rapidly going
forward, and some of them, at least,
will be carried into effect immediate
ly. With the future of the Philippines
still in doubt the directors of the naval
and military services are deyoting
their attention chiefly to the West In
dies and the forces ashore and afloat
in the Atlantic and east of the Missis-
sippi.
The necessity for the maintenance
of n large army of occupation for Cuba
and Puerto Rico will initiate to pre-
vent any reduction in the military es-
adjustment for some time to come,
although most of the volunteers who
have not up to this time left American
soil will probably be mustered out of
service within a month after the
treaty of peace is concluded.

to shout "Hurrah!" till the windows rat

On the evening of the election she
arranged to have the bird hung in the

was going to receive his friends and
also the returns. With fond expectancy
her husband had been elected by a
stunning majority and the parrot shout

glee: "Hurrah for. Jones!"
Alas. hat the best laid plans OF men
and mice gang aft aglee!
When the fateful moment came n dis
tressed messenger, with flushed face
and diskeveled hair, burst into the sit

you're beaten, JONES'
1t was the parrots cue and he hadn't
forgotten his careful training.
"Hurrah for jones'" shouted the green
imp on his perch and everybody in the
room stood aghast at the audacity OF
the biped.

The Walters Mistake.

The waiter is the one imperturbable

can move him. He would probably

| right to be considered the one impassive
individual on earth.
They had eaten a leisurely dinner OF
several courses, and had finally come to
the coffee. They ordered it and then
she lisped that she thought she'd ike
some Delaware grapes. The waiter
bowed and withdrew. In the course OF
time he returned with the coffee, but
grapes did not appear. After abo ut
twenty minutes, however, he entered
the dining-room, bearing large platter,
which he laid before them. They look
