PEACE.


When Congress declared that state
Of war existed with Spain, there were
many doubts and gloomy forebodings.
The wisest statesmen predicted long
and bloody contest, marked by disas-
ter on land and sea. There had been
peace in the land so long that many
supposed we had forgotten the art of
war. There was an abundance ofraw
material, but it required skilled hands
to mold it into death-dealing machines
of war
The Navy was mere shell. There
werethe vessels but they had few guns
and less ammunition. The Army,
composed Of millions of soldiers-on
paper, was unframed and unarmed.
Threatened with danger, the Giant of
the West reused himself. With one
hand he touched the button that
started uumberless factories to max
ing arms and collecting ammunition.
With the other he gathered the ships
of the world and established camps
and built Notifications and soon, as if
by magic, the Army and Navy were
advancing against the foe.
May Day witnessed the end of Span
ish power in the Pacific. Memorial
Day found Cervera bottled up in Santi-
ago haroor, and Independence Day
was devoted to celebrating the destruc-
ton of the Western Armada. Another
short month and Spain sues for peace.
The terms are
I. That Spain will relinquish all
claim of sovereignty over and title to
Cuba.
2. That Porto Rico and other Span
ish islands in the West Indies and an
island in the Ladrones, to be selected
by the United States, shall be coded
to the latter.
3. That the United States will oc-
cupy and hold the city, bay and har-
Dor of Manila, pending a conclusion
of treaty of peace, which shall de-
termine the control, disposition and
government of the Philippines.
Thus ends a war without precedent
in the annals of history. The cause,
the conduct of the war and its glor-
ious termination are most honorable.
The central figure in the stirring
events of the past six months, is that
quiet, self-possessed, far-seeing states
man, William Mckinley. The man
of the hour Ranking with Washing
ton and Lincoln. Possessing the
leading traits of both: TIE firm te-
nacity of the former, and the large
hearted, ever-abiding patriotism OF
the latter. When the history of this
war, now so happily ended, is written,
then the people will realize more full
lv than now that an All-Wise and
Overriding Providence ordained that
Spanish tyranny should cease and
that President Mckinley was the in
strument in His hands by which His
will should be manifested. To Him
let praise belong.

ference of West Indian representa-
tives ut the Island of Barbados
passed a resolution formally demand
ing aid from the British home govern
ment as Il matter of right as being the
only remedy for the industrial crisis,
and also demanded the adoption OF
measures either for the exclusion OF
bounty sugar from the English
market or the enforcement of counter
vailing duties. No ultimatum looking
to American annexation was adopted,
although the question was indirectly
discussed as Il possible future con-
tingency to Cuban and Porto Rican
competition in the American market
should Great Britain conclude to rem
der the relief demanded. Annexation
to America was not mentioned and the
Jamaican delegate. in an interview,
declared that while annexation to the

for this reason. perhaps, the expected

rule in almost every instance was to
adopt reports as presented and in this
way the pension report went through
without objection, although it was
modified later to take away any i'm
preston that might have arisen that
President Mckinley was under cell

Washington, Sept. 10. - Secretary
Alger has requested the president to
order a thorough and searching investi-
CATION Of the war department. In this
request the secretary has been joined
by Adjt. Gen. Corbin. No decision has
been reached yet by the president as to
what course he will pursue. He has
the request of Secretary Alger under
discussion, but has not yet determined
whether he will grant it or not. Secre-
tary -Alger had a long conference with
the president before leaving the city,
and impressed upon him his earnest
desire that an investigation such us he
had requested should be ordered. The
question was very thoroughly discussed
in all it's branches. Gen. Corbin was
present during great part Of the con-
ference. 1t seems now that an investi-
cation will be ordered, but it is the de-
sire of the president to consider the
| matter and map out definite policy
Should the investigation be ordered it
will include, probably, all matters re-
lating to
The Conduct of the War,
| so far as tnev concern the war depart
ment. Secretary Alger expresses him.
self as confident that such an investi-
cation, if conducted promptly and thor
oughly will result in much good.
Such an investigation as has been re-
quested is, it is pointedout, beset with
some di culties. No charges of a def
mite character have been filed by any
responsible person or official. Sensa-
tional stories and rumors for which the
administration has present knowledge
there is no foundation, have been cir
culated, and objection is made to dig
nifying them by the ordering of an in
vestigation. BY those who desire and
advocate an investigation it is main-
tanned it can do no possible harm, and
may be of positive benefit in clearing
away manifest error from the minds
Of many people and in placing the
blame. if any is to be placed, where it
rightfully belongs.
