Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1898-11-22

One Of the sex" newspapers which
comes TO this Office every day made the
startling announcement last evening that
twelve families in Barre preferred city
water to spring water. Is this state
ment meant for an argument, or is it the
mere piiiful babbling OF one who after
having wandered aimlessly for many
days through dense labyrinth OF bene-
ficiary myths 10 search Of a promised
bag OF gold at the end OF rainbow, I'M

Be that as it may, he omitted to state
how many more there are in Barre who
would like to change the other way were
they not forced to keep the water they
are now using. Does he think for mo-
mcnt tina, this city is made up of mon
opolists and upholders ofsyndicates, who
will vote to force any man to make
his purchases at place against which
he would rebel? II it to be "drink city

sense of the voters Of Barre can be left
to decide between the river and the

PAST WORK USELESS.
State Departments Opinion on the
News From Paris.

state Departments Opinion on the
News From Paris.
Washington, Nov %. - II President
Rios did express the determination OF
the Spaniards under their instruc-
lions, the American commissioners will
promptly pack up and leave Paris for
the United States at once. 1t Is said at
the state department that nearly all Of
their work in such case will go for
nothing The proceedings before the
commission were so conducted that no
one point agreed upon was to be re-
garded as binding unless a complete
treaty should be made. In other words.
the agreement on each point as 1t was
passed over was tentative and final nc
ceptance was conditioned upon a com
plete agreement on all ro!nts.
This does not necessarily wipe out
what has been accomplished under the
terms of the protocol. Each article of
tho protocol must stand, for it was in
no respect dependent on what would
follow at Paris, saving the one clause
touching the Philippines. For instance.
Spain agreed positively to relinauish
her sovereignty over Cuba and Porto
Rico and svacuate those islands and to
cede to US one Of the I.adrone islands
for a naval station. Those agreements
are beyond recall. and all that was left
to be settled at Paris related to the
Philippines. That is the ultimate posi-.
ton of the United States government az
announced at the state department
AS to what shall follow-peace or war
the officials are not clear. and earnest
considerat' on will be given to this sub
feet before any decision Is announced
1t is believed that the Spanish forces
in Cuba Will continue the evacua ton OF
the island which is now in progress. II
IL not thought probable that they will
attack the United States forces, and
the latter will not attack them SO long
as they continue to carry out the terms
Of the protocol. There is no problem
connected with Porto Rico. which Is
now completely In our possession.
Guam, one of the Ladrones can he easily
garrisoned at any time. the Spa nish
force there having surrendered.
This leaves about the only questions
to be determined those connected with
the Philippines 1t is not believed that
Spain will make any effort to surrender
those islands. Meanwhile the United
States naval commanders probably will
be & -ected to extend their occupation
at once to the whole group Of islands.
though it Is not clear that this can be
accomplished without much trouble and
perhaps a hostile clash with the insur-
gents. For some reasons a speedy de-
cision to undertake this work would be
acceptable to the state department.
There are foreign interests and lives
and property at stake there for which
the United States has assumed a moral
II not technical responsibility.
