:s 2 ifron. 33Our Boys'' < < 'S-sssssssssssssssssssssssS
 CAMP GEO. II. THOMAS, CHIcAA- M.uGA PARK, GA, July p, 1898. Jno. P. Stafford, Esq, Springdale, Ark, ESTEEMED FRIEND: Camp life with most of the boys IS stlll al pleasure. In fact nearly all of the boys who came at first are well pleased. and the longer they stay the better they like 1t. am sorry to say, however, that our list ot sick is very large. We have two men. John Lotherldge and Frank Granger, who 1 ns'der to be ln critical condition. have very little hopes for the recovery of Lothrldge. Then we have sick n the hospital Roy Wilson, Tom Moore, H F. Cottrell, Don Crib ble, James Gideon, Robert Boyd ston and Jasper Watson. The last two only have measels. Our SICK in quarters are J. R Phillips, + P. Holcomb, Frank Wood, c. A. Demming and Bas Poisal.
 I think several of the boys are going to be re-examlned and dis charged. Several of them should never have been passed by the ex- amining board of surgeons. For, while the work IS not hard tor a healthy, stout man, it is too much for weak, delicate one. We us nally have about five or SIX hours of work every day, abou, two hours of winch is violent exercise.
 The boys have been fed rather scant for the last hve or six cays on account of the meat being con demned. But our greatest ground for kicking IS the poor provisions we have for taking care of the sick. The Government, in my opinion, dces not furnish such food as the s.ck require, nor as far as 1 can see money to get them with, conse quently as a rule the company of ticers will have to get 1t for them or they do without, unless they happen to have 1t of thelr own. think there is considerable room for work here by the charity as sociations of the U. $. l was told by surgeon yesteI day that large portion of the medicine which they had been using for ten or twelve days had been furnished by the Red Cross soclety. They had made requisition fer the proper sup ply, but owing to some mistake in making out papers it was delayed. Winch to me seems like there IS q little too much red tape about 1t.
 The new recruits are with us in all their glory, and many amusing things have occurred, the most Imaginable of any to us cannot be fully appreciated by yon. It was mistake of 0. F. Mills, and oc- cured this way: The second morning after they got ln Colonel Chandler walked up my company street, and as usual in such cases some one yelled "attention." All obeyed the call at once except Mills, who had not been instruct ed, and consequently did not under stand. Mills with one leg hung over the corner of box, was eat ing with piece of bread in his hand. When the Colonel said to him, "young man haven't you made mistaken Mills looked up little surprised and said, "yes ST." The Colonel said, ''well, sir, what is it' and Mills after a moments hesitation said Fl joined the ariny". That knocked the Colonel off the Xmas tree. He simply turned and lief. the street, qulte likely thinking that he had made mistake.
 We'll, It is getting late and will close, with best wishes for you and all NEWS readers.
 Your friend.

Washington, July P Per haps to day and certainly not later than tomorrow President Mckinley will reply 70 Spain's $ peace propdsal.
 There will be no evasion. The Presidents proposition will be direct. Spain will be informed that a cessation of hostilities can come only after a distinct promise on her part that an armistice will be fol lowed quickly by her accept ance of terms proposed by the United States to end the war.
 In the meantime, Gen. Miles is under orders 10 push his troops forward as rapidly as possible, and conquer Porto Rico. Dewey or Merritt may be in possession of Manila to day, and the war in the Philip pines, Porto Rico and Cuba will go on, until Spain yields.
 When peace proposals have reached a definite shape di- plomatlc precedent provides for the appointment of com mis- sioners by each side. The commissioners on the part of the United States may consist of as many men as the Presi- dent desires. One of the peace commissioners on the part of the United States will undoubt edly be George F. Edmunds.
 1n the event that a prelimin- ary treaty is agreed upon by the commissioners providing for the withdrawal of the Span ish troops from Cuba and an exchange of prisoners. the lat ter will be exchanged man tor man and rank for rank. Ii Spain mas not prisoners of the same rank, as IS the case with all of her officers, and particu fafly with Admiral Cervera. she will be compelled to put up financial consideration.
 It is probable that the United States will exchange Spanish

ef4n4.Fs ltf9 1EBI#l fNti i- hans. This. II is asserted. will i+ the only mart played ia the ,sace negotiations ny the Cubans. At least one of the commissioners appointed will he chosen for his known friend shl D for the Cnbans and he will be expected to look out for their interests.
 President Mckinley has an nounc-d that negotiations for peace must be brief. He will not permit delay. The de mands of the United States will be strictly adhered to.
 The terms are the independ- ence of Cuba, the withdrawal of the soldiers from Porto Rico and its cession 10 the United States; the lelinquishment of all Spain's power in the Philip pines, the United States 90 dis pose of them as It sees fiji; cer- tain coaling stations yet to be decided upon.
 The President will, 1t is as serted in administration cir cles, insist upon the payment of a nominal indemnity.
 From what can be learned, Spain's offer of peace will be the granting of independence to the Cubans, the ceding of Porto Rico to the United States and the return of the Ladrones, the Philippines and other pos sessions captured by the Amer ican forces. Spain will also protest, it is believed, against the payment of an indemnity.
 It is intimated that direct negotiations may be opened between Spain and this country, Spain being represent ed by Stnor Leon Castillo, the Spanish Am bassador at Paris, and the United States by Gen. Horace Porter, our Ambassa dor to France.
 Any treaty for peace must be ratified by the Senate before it is operative. Senator Forakei of Ohio, the only Republican member of the Committee on Foreign Relations in the city, said to day:
 "I do not think we could give up any territory of which We have taken possession. We should retain Porto Rico and the Philippines and give to Cuba independence and main tain such relations with the people as will ultimately bring about tbe annexation of the islands 10 the United States by the desire of the people them selves, as in the case of Ha vail"
 If Premier Sagasta's desire to end the war is deep seated and sincere, his return proposi- tions are counted on by the au- thorities here to make clear the fact. If, on thes-other hand, he submits conditions of peace which the United States will be compelled to dismiss as trivial and unwarranted, the failure of the Madrid Govern ment to appreciate the straits to which 1t has already been driven will be taken as q warn ing that 10 secure peace on a rational basis the war must be prosecuted by this country to a bitter and relentless end.
 The reception given the over lures i'll Spain itself will per haps demonstrate shortly whether the Spanish people are weary of the present strug- gle and on the temper disclos ed will depend greatly the con ditions offered in Senor Sagas- ta's expected noto.
