ascent, and they divided into two par
ties, one for each peak, taking hello
graphs with them for the purpose of
signaling to each other across the val
ley. The ascent was made, and one OF
the party on the north mountain was
surprised TO hear voices, which appsr-
emily came out Of the air. He moved
his position, and the sound was no
longer heard. By changing his posi-
ton several times he discovered that
the voices were those Of his friends on
the other mountain. When the atten-
ton Of the opposite party had been at
trncted it was found that an ordinary
conversation in an ordinary tone of
voice was plainly heard from one
mountain top to the other, over dis
tance of more than twelve miles. Scien-
lists say that the cause Is to be found
in the form Of the mountains, which

INTERIOR AFFAIRS.
Secretary Bliss Makes an Interest
Ing Report Of His Department.


Washington, Nov. % The annual
report of Secretary of the Interior
Bliss, made public last night, reviews
In detail the progress Of the pension,
Indian, land. patent, educational and
territorial affairs. Reviewing the grad
ual diminution OF public land area,
Secretary Bliss says: rhs
OF 800 and odd million acres Of desert lands
requiring irrigation 10 render them valuable
farming lands. the available water supply Is
suniclent for only II, 800 900 acres, leaving soo-
$4,000 acres suitable only for grazing purposes
There are 20 forest reservations, embracing an
estimated area Of io,7i9, ai4 acres
The Indians are declared to have
made substantial progress, and the
Chippewa outbreak was the only seri.
GUS disturbance OF the year. The
workings OF the Curtis Indian terri
tory act are praised and the more pro-
pressiye element OF the Indians In the
territory are reported as inclined to
accept the situation in good faith.
Reviewing pension matters, Secre'
tary Bliss reports 637. 900 claims Of all
classes pending and says q separate
division has been organized for the
adjudication Of claims growing out OF
the war with Spain. These soldiers
will receive their pensions under the
general law for permanent disabilities
contracted In the service. He also
concurs in the recommendation for the
creation OF commission to revise the
pension laws and regulations la the
interest Of future reliable, intelligent
and uniform practice.
The advancement along educational
lines Is outlined by an increase of over
$4,000 Of school pupils In the United
States for the fiscal year OF 1s9e-97 over
the previous one, but yet the total
average amount OF schooling per indi-
yidual for the whole United States
measured by the present standard,
does not quite equal Ave years Of 900
days for each inhabitant The total
number Of school pupils in the country
in elementary, public and private
. schools, universities, high schools and
academies, is put at 10, a5s,o9S.
Assistant Secretary Of the interior
Webster Davis, in his annual report
says the ls2,6sl appeals from the pen
sion bureau and 626 motions for recon
sideration filed during the year make
up a number unprecedented In any
one year or two years In the history o
the board Of appeals. The proportion
ate increase still contindes and on DC
tober 1 last there were 1880 such ap
peals and motions pending and Secre

Paris, Nov. 90. Spain has accepted the
United States offer OF SO, 900, 900, and
at a joint session of the peace commits
sions yesterday afternoon consented
without condition to relinquish Cuba
and to cede Porto Rico. Guam and the
Philippine islands The document
presenting this acceptance contained
only 800 words. 1t opened with re-
ference to the fiual terms Of the United
States and that the Spanish commits
sioners, after having taken cognizance
of the terms proposed by the Ameri-
cans, replied that their government
had tried to give as equitable an an
swer as possible, but that they
were not prepared to commit
their government to the acceptance
OF the principles embodied In the
American argument Spain rejects
these principles, the note continues,
''as she always has rejected them. v
Basing her attitude upon the justice
of her cause, the note then says, she

(which she has heretofore invariably
formulated" However, the note adds
In her desire for peace she has gone

Santiago, Sept. 11.-Sunday was observed
to-day for the first time since the war ter
minated as a day of rest and worship.
All the military and civil offices were
closed as were also the shops and the
oity's appearance was unusually quiet.
Religious services were held at the palace
and Gen. Lawe2n, Gen. Wood and other
American officers attended.
This afternoon the correspondent of the
Associated Press visited the wrecks of the
Spanish cruisers The work of floating
the Infanta Maria Teresa is nearly com
pleted, but the Almirante Oquendo is not
worth the cost of the saving.
Col Ray who returned from Guantana-
mo yesterday, reports the embarkaton of
all the spaniards save about eighty, un-
der Gen. Pareja
The American authorities are awaiting
the arrival of the San Juan, with about
1000 Spanish troops from Sagua de Tana-
mo and Baracoa. The spaniards win be-
re-embarked here on the San Augustin
and the San Francisco for Spain.
Tomorrow the Bessie and two other ves-
sells win leave for Baracoa and sagua de-
Tanamo, carrying supplies for the Ameri-
cans, Cubans and spanards there The
condition of the Spanish at Guantanamo,
prior 10 their departure for Spain. was.
Col. Ray says, most distressing. The
death rate was over eighty per day, and

Seventy died on the wharf the day tho
San lgnacio was loaded, and there is yell
low fever among those who remain be-
hind.
Col Ray had two mules killed for fresh
meat supplies to the spaniards No fresh
beef was to be had and the Spaniards were
glad to get the mule meat
The First battalion of Col. Rays regi-
ment has contracted yellow fever from a
spaniard. Sixty cases have broken out.
-Four hundred Cubans have laid down
their arms at Guantanamo and gone TO
work on the plantations near the town.
Santiago Is now filled with Cuban soldiers
from Gen. Castillo's command.
