long distance telephone rates. This
reduction Is for subscribers alone. The
rates have been reduced from % cents TO

regular customers. This reduction Of 81
per cent will be greatly appreciated by
those who use the phone, and especially
so as 1t was made voluntarily by the

as perfect as 1t can be made, and the
wonder Is how we ever managed to get

A SEMI -0FFICIAL NOTE
WISHES TO PRESERVE SOVER-
EIGHTY OVER THE PHIL
IPpINES.
IF We REFUSE TO ASSUME CUBAN DEBT
Spain will EGdeavor to Arrange with The Cuban
Treasury to Pay it When The Island is
Able -Tready of Commerce.

Madrid, Aug 12.-The question of the
acceptance of the protocol having been
finally settled and its signature explicit
ly and definitely authorized, the govern
ment is now considering the domestic
situation for the best means of alaying
the excitement and propagating the idea
that Spain's surrender is not SO complete
as indicated by the bald terms of the
protocol. AS the first step in this direc
tion semi-official note has been issued.
1t is as follows:
THE government is of the opinion that
the most critical period of the peace NO.
gotiations has now arrived; us it depends
upon the arrangement of details as to
whether the peace will be more or less
advantageous. Spain wishes to preserve
her sovereignty over the whole of the
Philippines. to which she proposes to lc-
cord all political and administrative re-
forms consistent with the maintenance Of
her sovereignty.
"ln regard to the evacuation of Cuba
and Porto Rico, it will be asked that
the army be allowed to depart honorab bly,,
and that assurances be given, guaran-
teeing that Spanish and foreign interests
will not suffer. The army which has
not been conquered, will return to Spain
with its guns arms and munitions.
''in regard to the Cuban debt. as the
United States refuses to assume it, Spain
will endeavOr to arrange with the Cuban
Treasury to pay it when the island is
able.
THE question of treaty of commerce
will lead to considerable discussion. and
the matter will be submitted to a com
mission of diplomatists, under the presi-
dency of Scnor Castillo"

simple but Impressive FOrmalities that
Bring the War to n Close.
Washington, ID. c., Aug. 12-With
simplicity i'll keeping with republican IN
stitutions, the war which has ragged be-
tween Spain and the United States for
Il period of three months and twenty
two days was quietly terminated at %
minutes past four O'Clock this afternoon
when Secretary Day, for the United
States, and NJ Cambon, for Spain, in
the presence of President Mckinley,
signed protocol which will form IA basis
Of Il definite treaty of peace. 1t is but
simple justice to oupr sister
republic of France to re-
cord the fact that through her good
offices this speedy termination of Il war
that might have run on indefinitely was
brought about and the Pre- dent himself
deemed that action on the part of the
French government as worthy of his
special praise
The closing chapter Of events that led
up to the signature of the protocol and
The cessation of hostilitcs was full Of
interest. There were rumors in the early
morning that over night the French
Embassy had received the long-expected
final instructions from Madrid. but
these upon inquiry proved groundless.
and it was not until half past twelve
that the note began to come from Madrid
in small lots. The State Department
was soon advised of the fact that tho
message was under transmission. but as
it was evident that it would be lon.,
and that its reception would occunv
much time, the Secretary of State Icft
the State department for his luncheon.
At 2:4o O'Clock Secretary Theibudt of
The French EMBASSY, appeared at tbe.
State Department to inform Secretary
Day that the Ambassador was in fuli
possession of the note; was fully empow
cred to sign the protocol for Spain and
only awaited the pleasure Of the State
Department. He intimated that tho Am
hassador would be pleased to have thc

Important Step to Improve Sanitary

Chickamauga National Park, August
12.-The shifting of camp from the WrAod-
lands TO the open fields was still i'll pro-
gress to-day, Il number of regiments hav-
ing changed their location. This is
one of the most importanr steps in the
plan to better the sanitary conditions
of Camp Thomas and to promote the
health of the soldiers. While arrange
ments to move the Second and Third
divisions of the First corps from this
camp are in progress, no time will be
lost to make the conditions more favor
able for the divisions that are to re-
main. The work now being accom-

admission that the facilities for main
tanning high degree of health have

There is now an active movement on
