ought not to be compelled to suffer
either in money or territory.
Though the king, according to the
constitution, has the power to make
war or peace, any cession of national
territory has to have the sanction of
the cortes, and any minister consenting
to such concession without this sane
tlon Is liable, according to the penal
code, to imprisonment for life 1t will
be necessary, therefore, to convoke the
cortes some time before the treaty of
peace is ratified, but the government
has not yet decided at what stage cf
the proceedings this necessary formal
lty will be observed. In some well in
formed quarters doubts are expressed
as to whether the Spanish note will be
dispatched to Washington quite so
soon as is generally expected

CAPTURE OF GUAYAMO.
The First Real Fight on the Soil of
Porto Rico.

Porto Rico.
PONCE, Porto Rico. Aug. 5 (via St.
Thomas, Aug. 6).-The Americans had
their first real fight on Porto Rican soil
today, when they captured the city Of
Guayamo.
Guayamo Is a city of $4,000 inhabi-
tants, and next to Ponce is the most
important town on the south side Of
the island. Arroyo is the seaport Of
the city, which is five miles inland.
Gen. Brooke's troops landed at Arroyo,
and he wanted Guayamo as base Of
operations, 1t being the first town on
the main road leading to the military
road from Ponce to San Juan.
Gen. Brooke ordered Gen. Haines to
occupy the town, and at o'clock this
morning the Fourth Ohio and Third
Illinois regiments were ordered out, the
Ohio regiment being in the van. 1t
was known that there were some Span
ish cavalry about, and the troops pro-
ceeded cautiously along the road to
within a mile of the town. The road
is level to that point, and there was
no sign Of Spaniards anywhere along
the route.
The last mile Of the road runs
through a cut in the mountain and up
q steep hill Before this point was
reached the Third Illinois stopped, and
Col. Bennitt was ordered to guard the
cross roads leading to the rear Of the
city. The advance guard of the Ohio
regiment entered the cut and had pro-
ceeded less than 100 yards when a hail
Of Spanish bullets on both sides from
the mountain whistled over their heads.
ROAD BARRICADED.
The advance guard fell back, firing
as they 'retreated, and the main body
hurried forward, also firing, up the hill
sides. A hundred yards further on,
around a turn in the road, they came
suddenly upon a barricade thrown
across the road. 1t was made Of struc-
tural iron work and filled in with sand
Gen. Haines ordered deploying partel
sent up the hills to flank the enemy.
The road was lined on each side with
barbed wire, the same as the Spaniards
used in Cuba. Many Of the troops car
ried machetes with which they attacked
the fences, disregarding the bullets,
and in few moments cut their way

In the meantime the deployers reach
ed the hilltops and began pouring a

of their position. Our men then ell
advanced, firing as they went For
half an hour there was very little re-
turn. Then the Spaniards rallied and
made a stand, but they were still un-

All the men looked At, but worn out.
Some wore new uniforms while others
were attired in the heavy blue flannel

companions behind, but were wild with
joy at the prospect of so SOON return
ing home. They took no tents or bag

The work Of enlbarkation was very
easy and was quickly performed. The

With the Progress Made.
WASHINGTON, Aug. THE war
department officials are entirely salts
fed with the progress SO far made to-
ward the shipment to Spain Of Gen.
Toral's army, surrendered at Santi-
ago. The vessels which are to be
used for this purpose are now on the
way to Santiago, and, barring acci-
dents, they are expected to arrive
there about Aug. 13, when the troops
will be embarked as rapidly as possi-
BILE and proceed at once to Spain.
It Is recalled that most of the other
competitors for the transportation con-
tract required until Sept. to accom-
plish the en1barkation, which, under
the present arrangement, It is expect
ed will be completed by Aug Is or very
soon thereafter.

by instinct far below them in every
sense. If they are not such it is
the notion of the average "sinless"
that they should be to properly
conform to the definition of GRIM
inal.
A man may have borne an I'M
blemished reputation, and have
been known as an ordinarily good
citizen: but let him, in the heat of
passion or from excessive prov
ocation, commit an offense and he
is thenceforth a criminal for all
time-a chum of degenerates. He
is looked upon in the same light as
the man who made a business Of
crime, and such as the latter is
properly called a degenerate.
1t is a fact long ago admitted by
officials connected with prisons
that quite a percentage Of the men
serving sentence are far removed
from any real faint Of criminal
propensity. They committed
crime and must lawfully atone for
it. Usually there are strong ex-
tenuating circumstances connected
with their offense. This does not
make them a whit the less guilty;
but it should have an influence in
tightening the weight Of post
criminal censure and social degra-
dation. Being held up to public
obloquy is the most poignant pun
ishment that can be inflicted upon
one who prizes his manhood.
There should be some proper line
of demarcation drawn between the
ordinary offender and the depraved
degenerate. At present there is
no practical difference between
them as Judged by the masses.
Prison officials are aware of the
difference and are governed by it.
But, as it is by society in general
the discharged prisoner is Judged,
some public method should be
adopted to aid in assisting men to
regain their proper standing with
in reasonable time.

WE HAVE received marked
copy of a Lansing, Iowa, paper COM
plimenting The MIRROR upon hav-
ing come to life again" We are
always thankful for kindly mention
given The MIRROR: but, for the
information and edification of all
who were misled by the erroneous
report started last summer, we re-
iterate that The MIRROR never en-
tertained a thought of suspending,
has not missed a single issue since
it's inception in 1887, and did not
lose an old subscriber by the un-
called-for obituary at that time.
We may also add that no addi-
tional "brethren of the craft have
been received to resurrect the
paper" Ability in the art preserv-
ative and newspaper work in gen.
eral appear to be a certain proven
tive for crime. If the proportion
of editors and printers billed for
hades is as small as the percentage
imprisoned on earth, there need be
slight danger of the inhabitants of
the ultra-tropical village being
harassed with "yellow' journalism.

THE CRIMINAL CLASS.

Is THERE, properly speaking,
such a thing as distinctive Grim
inal class? 1t is known that ode
generates are practically the only
species that may properly be
termed confirmed criminals. This
statement is true regardless Of the
fact that most crimes committed
by degenerates are such that it is
next to impossible to convict them
of. A man who follows the nat
ural bent of the degenerate is
capable Of any crime. But, as a
class, they seldom commit the
ordinary Otfense of stealing in
such heinOus manner as would
lead to more than a short iai]
sentence 1t takes little brains
even to steal, and the innate de-
pravity Of the degenerates pre-
cludes the necessity Of charging
them with being brainy.
In the present acceptation OF
the term terminal Glass;" every
one convicted of felony must
thenceforth bear fellowship for all
time with "degenerates." Should
he be so fortunate as to achieve g
slight need of honest fame after
bearing lawful punishment for his
offense, that fact only conduces tc
perpetuate his former infamy

Otherwise the question resolves
itself from the abstract into the

timid female colliding with that

nothing of the dire effects it would
have if met face to face on a lonely
byway. It makes us shudder to
think of it: even Webster was
afraid to insert it in his latest

but the principal cause is due to
surroundings and example.
Take any one child of the most
careless, negligent parents and let
him be brought up alone in the
pure air of the country, away from
the communicating influences of
city companions and it is nine
chances out of ten he will grow up
a model man. Take this same boy
in the same surroundings with his
own brothers and sisters as COM
panions and the chances are in the
same ratio that the entire family
will bud into fit candidates for re-
form schools. That boy, regard
less Of parental negligence, if left
with naught but the inspiring ex-
ample of the beauties of nature
would be led intuitively to the
normal life of naturally developed
manhood: with his own brothers
and sisters as associates and the
bad example of depraved parents
as model, the inherent simian
qualities of mankind would in
stinctively lead the children to
discourse and act together on the
plane set by the parental ideal"
1t may be said that it is impos-
sible to restrict the rights of indi-
viduals in such an important
matter, but it is nonetheless true
that it is possible and practicable
to have uniform marriage law
that will at least command the
highest respect Of the contracting
parties entering that holy state.
In some of the states at the pres
ent day the laws governing this
most sacred of earthly unions are
but standing advertisements for
cheap prostitution. God help the
offspring of such unions in large
city: if He does not help them it
is a moral certainty that the par
ents will not worry their sadly
overburdened "brain'' in taking
care Of what most of them con-
slider as mere accidents in life
of pleasure.
