MILITARY CHIVALRY.
Spaniards Appreciate the Ameri-
cans Conduct Toward Prisoners

Spaniards Appreciate the Ameri-
cans Conduct Toward Prisoners.
Madrid, July 1O.-The feature of to-
day was the departure of Duchess Isa-
bel, mother of the queen regent. With
her eyes swelling With tears she
turned to the generals assembled On
the platform and confded her daughter
to their care. It was a touching sight.
Inc incomprehensible mercurial Span
lsh temperament was again wildly
demonstrated. Yesterday every one
was talking of the war. To-day, after
a nights reflection, peace is the word
upon almost every lip. g: riIs e.: g. 'ss5'
It Is curious III this respect that the
IMPRESS ion Made by the conduct of the
Americans toward their prisoners has
produced a feeling highly appreciated
here, proving that Americans have the
innate spirit Of military chiva1ry which
up to now it has been denied they pos
sessed. In fact as a Spaniard sitting
next to me justly said, lit shows them
to be race of men who have the true
military instinct Much joy is ex-
pressed at the renewal Of cable COM
munications with Havana, all the more
so as the first news it brings is that
reinforcements have reached Santiago.

SURRENDER TO THE REBELS.
Eight Hundred spaninrds Give Up
Their Arms 23

: .. /
Manila, July 8, via Hongkong, July
1O.-The water supply Of the city 10
nearly exhausted. The pumps have
not been working for three days. Gen.
Monet's troops, numbering some 800,
have surrendered, giving up their arms
to the rebels. The captiyes were taken
to Cavite. Gen. Monet escaped with
Augustus family, who had a passport
from Gen. Aguinaldo. He was dis
guised as a woman, leaving his troops
starving. An indignation meeting
was held by the Spaniards, who went
to the governor general to obtain an
explanation as to why Gen. Monet
came here without his troops, and de-
handing that he should be sent back.
Owing to the fact that the Spaniards
are excitable Monet's position is
dangerous. Gen. Aguinaldo to-day is
sued a proclamation in Spanish and
Tagal (the native language announc-
ing the birth Of the Philippine repub-
lie, of which he assumes to be presi-
dent. Gen. Aguinaldo claims that he
will take Manila tomorrow or next
day. This is not probable, however.
Reports Of the coming of the Spanish
feet through the Suez canal, coupled
with the encouragement given the
Spaniards by the Germans, has great
~ stiffened Spanish courage and it is
expected the city will not surrender
without hard fight. ..:#sz%

Off Santiago de Cuba, July 1O.-The
return of Assistant Naval Constructor
Richmond P. Hobson, of Merrimac
fame, to his ship, the flagship New
York, was marked by wild enthusiasm.
1t was dark when a shout was passed
along the ship that Hobson was COM
ing. On the superstructure clambored
the crew, ten deep, and on the quar-
terdeck the officers clustered around
the sea ladder and a hundred hands
were stretched out to clasp Hobson's.
It was not until he was safe once more
on deck that the crew Of the New York
cheered. Then they broke out into a
yell that went up again and again I'M
til the men were hoarse. Hundreds Of
the crew reached the forward deck
and the men struggled around the tall

scourge of suffering and disease while they

Spain Said to Be Willing to Suspend
Hosti1ities
London, July S.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail says: There
are persistent rumors here that Duke
Almodovar de Rio, foreign minister,
and Senior Gamazo, the minister Of
public instruction and public works,
have received full powers to propose
a suspension of hostilities as a prelim-
mary to peace negotiations.
The ministers neither affirm nor deny
the rumor. Spain, it is alleged, is pre-
pared for peace on the basis of the in
dependence Of Cuba and the Philip
pines, the United States occupying
Puerto Rico until the war indemnity
is paid. Lieut.. Gen. Correa, minister
Of war, says everything depends upon
tn ecOurse of events at SANTIAGO.

The repu olican party is and always
has been the advocate of education
and the best citizenship. Many of our
best citizens, it is true, have been men
and women who could neither read
nor write, but it is also true that at
the present time the great majority
of illiterate immigrants reaching our
shores constitutes the riff raff of Eu-
rope and are highly undesirable. The
recent discussion in the Senate on the
immigration bill now pending before
Congress, and the unanimous republi-
can vote in that body favoring the
passage of the bill, show where the
republicans stand on this subject. 1t
will be remembered that a similar bill
was passed by Congress last year and
presented to President Cleveland for
his signature, but received instead his
veto. With President Mckinley in
hearty accord with the republicans in
Congress, there is no danger of the
measure again meeting such fate.

LAW COURT DECISION.
In the Hancock County Case of Wood
VS.. Ffnson n Brown.

The case Of w. A. Wood & Co., OF Bos-
ton, VS.. Finson Il Brown, OF Bncksport,
after twice going to the law court, has
finally been decided in favor OF plaintiffs.
This action was brought to recover bill
for oil lost in transit between Boston and
Bucksport, by shipwreck. Defendants
admitted bill but claimed they had a
standing agreement with the agent who
sold them the oil that all goods shipped
to them should be insured. Plaintiff
claimed that in this particular case the
matter of insurance was mentioned, with
the result that defendants said they
would notify Mr.. Wood or his agent later
No word was received, and the oil was
shipped without insurance.
This case was first tried at the January
term, 1896, in Hancock county, piaintin
securing verdict for sSa.51, full amount
of bill with interest The case was APP
pealed, and the law court set aside verdict
and ordered new trial The second trial
resulted as did the first, plaintiff securing
verdict for $3.50. which included in
terest since previous trial. The case was
dkdiu dHpthitu, inns tihiS thS 'SANaN'
OF the lower court has been sustained
Following is the rescript from the law
court, which is by Judge Foster:
Oftentimes W hen the issue is whether a
particular contract has been made be-
tween the parties, and the evidence is
conflicting as to W hat the contract was, 1t
is competent for defendant to show the
value or character of the property when
he WAS to receive rs compared with that
in the contract claimed by the opposing
party, as tending to show the improbable
lty OF the contract as alleged by such
party.
In tins case, while the fact OF whet her
there has been insurance effected on pre-
vious sales or not, might not be conclusive
as to what was done in this particular
instance, 1t was admissible on the
question of probability or improbability
OF the contract being as claimed by
the plaintiff.
Testimony should not I've excluded as tr-
relevant which has II tendency, however
remote, to esta biish the probability or
improba hiiity of the fact in controversy.
Exceptions and motion overruled.

The statistics of the iron trade give
the lie to those citizens wearing
smoked glasses who asserted that the
prosperity incident to the election of
President Mckinley was only a tenn
porary affair and would soon subside,
leaving the country in worse condi-
ton than previously. The iron trade,
as barometer, is sure indication of
the general business condition of the
country. Manufactures of iron and
steel enter into all lines and branches
of industry the country over, from the
Office of the Wall street broker to the
kitchen Of the small farmer. The
Pennsylvania railroad alone has or
dered 100, 900 tons of steel rail, and the
Washington county railroad in this
State has ordered u, 900 tons. Orders
for cars, railroad supplies, plates, bars,
and structural material are reported
unusually large for the season.
