gress of the peace negotiations. There

for the Cuban debt.

none had any feasible plan to propose

SPANS REPLY.
Nothing Definite Known as to Its
Context.

LONDON, Aug. THE Madrid cor
respondent Of the Times" telegraph
ing Sunday, says:
To-day all the best authorities agree
that the Government has decided to ac-
cept the American conditions. The
American reply to Spains request for
explanation reached Madrid Friday
evening. The text has not been given
out but it is known that it brought lit
tie consolation. President Mckinley
turned deaf ear to the suggestion that
Porto Rico might be left to Spain, and
compensation gotten elsewhere.
Regarding the Philippines, the reply
was not altogether satisfactory, but it
no longer any necessity for postponing
decision on the main question.
Meantime, Senior Sagasta's extensive
consultations seemed to leave no doubt
that the nation wants peace.
AS to the context of Spain's reply, the
oracles differ. Some say it contains no
contentious matter, accepting simply in
principle the four demands of President
McKinley's first communication, and
suggesting an immediate suspension of
hostilities. On the other hand, others
affirm that it is prefaced by an account
of the origin of the war, tending to
prove that, as Spain was in no sense the
aggressor, she ought not to be expected
to pay war indemnity, either in money
or territory.
Though the King, according to the
Constitution, has the right to declare
war and make peace, any cession of ma
tional territory requires the sanction of
the Cortes; and any Minister consent
ing to such cession without this sane
ton is liable, according to the Penal
Code, to Imprisonment for life 1t
would be necessary, therefore, to con-
woke the Cortes some time before the
treaty of peace is ratified, but the Gov
ernment has not yet decided at what
stage of the proceedings this necessary
formality will be observed In some
well-informed quarters doubts are ex-
pressed as TO whether the Spanish note
will be dispatched to Washington quite
SO soon as is generally expected.

SOME INFORMATION
which VIII Amply Repay the
Reader to Commit TO Memory.

Fifty years ago young man who had juss
attained his majority wandered into a sman
village in Northern Vermont. He had nog
much more stock in trade than indomitable
push, a few dollars, and a kit of stone~
cutter tools. AT that time the village OF
Barre, for that is the place referred to, did
not supply employment to three skilled
granite workers, and for some time the
young man found work at his trade rather
precarious means of earning a livelihood
Years went by and as Barre as a granite
center became known, sign was suspended
over an Office, which read, L. II. Hooker

stuck 10 the growing village, saw it
town, then a city, then double its populations
and importance in the last ten years, and
finally he retired from active life when

men and lsborers. Is this represent
