WHAT SPAIN MUST DO.
Omcini Statement Of the Terms She
Must Accept IL She Would
Have Peace.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Thc following
is an official statement given out by
authority of the president Tuesday a
to the terms of peace offered by the
United States:
In order TO remote any misappre-
hension in regard to the negotiations
as to peace between the United States
and Spain, it is deemed proper to say
that the terms offered by the United
States to Spain in the note handed to
the French ambassador on Saturday
last are in substance as follows:
The president does not now put for
ward any claim for pecuniary indem-
nifty, but requires the REIMBURSEMENT
ofall claims of sovereignty over or title
10 the island of Cuba as well as the i'm
mediate evacuation by Spain of the is
land; the cession to the United States
and immediate evacuation of Puetto
Rico and other islands under Spanish
sovereignty in the West Indies; and
The like cession of an island in the
Ladrones. The United States will oe-
cupy and hold the city, bay and harbor
of Manila, pending the conclusion of
Il treaty of peace which shall deter
mine the control, disposition and gov
eminent of the Philippines. If these
terms are accepted by Spain in their
entirety, it is stated that commission
ers will be named by the United States

THE TRADE REVIEW.
The Situation ms Reported by Dun
Peace Prospects Stimulate Many
Lines-FaiIures for n Week.

New York. Aug. 6.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
weekly review of trade says: "Pros2oc.s
of peace stimulate many kinds of bust
ness. In spite of records, the impression
prevails that delay and hesitation have le-
ultimately resulted from war, and larger
contracts are in fact coming forward for
iron products, with better general de-
mand in most industries. The vclum of
payments through all clearing houses was
the largest ever known in July. being eight
per cent larger than in 1852 for the month
and for the past week Ill per cent larger.
Most industrial works have resumed after
a shorter vacation. with fewer participant
ing than usual A few labor troubles only
call attention to the fact that this season
has been remarkably free from such
hindrances.
In spite of promise of 700, OOO, 600 bush
els of wheat this year, the price is two and
one-half cents higher for the week. The
disposition of farmers to hold back their
wheat for prices more like those obtain
able recently accounts for receipts 36 per
cent smaller than last year. The visible
supply is extremely low, but exports at the
present rate throughout the year would
have little lifting power if the crop is about
300 600, coo bushels more than home needs
for seed and food. Corn exports for the
week have been only 1.734.347 bushels,
against 2,725,0 90 last year. though the price
has scarcely declined.
Failures for the week have been 1856
| liz the United States, against 237 last year,
and p in Canada, against 20 last year"

A direct telegraph line has been es-

There are 2,4S6 telephones in the

THE WHEAT BUSINESS.
Grain Men, Railroads and Elevators
Getting Ready for the Great
Fall Rush.

West Superior, Wis, Aug. 6.-Grain
men, railroads and elevators are all
ready for big rush in the wheat bust
ness this fall, and the first of the
rush is expected within a couple OF
weeks. Last year the movement com
menced about the first of Seple mber,
but the railroads are expecting to
begin hauling about two weeks earlier
this season. Harvesting in the south
ern districts is well along and the
northern farmers are busy getting
their crops ready for shipment. The
elevators at the head of the lake are
quite empty, as the grain has been
going out by boat rs fast as it came in
over the rails. The middle of August
may see the first of the new crop
arriving. The grain men already have
representatives in the wheat belt, ana
Superior firms anticipate very lively
season.

IT is not the opinion of the commits
sioner of pensions that we have ap
preached the maximum of amounts to
be paid pensioners. While informing
us that $4,000 900 was paid in pen
sions for the last fiscal year, he says
that he is inclined to the belief that
considerably larger appropriations
will yet be made before the height OF
the annual pension expenditures will
be attained, due to heavy arrearages
carried with many new claims, and we
may for two or three years witness the
apparently anomalous condition OF
steady reductions in pensioners and in.
creases in pension appropriations.
