Losses From Bad Roads.

From Sistersyille, w. Va, comes
the report that oil operations are par
alyzed by the bad condition OF the
roads.
"There are holes three feet deep. F"
says the telegram, ssand it is danger
Gus to ride over them on horseback
without thinking of hauling a loaded
wagon. Just such roads are found
all over the country where there is
any attempt to conduct heavy traf-
fic over them. The bottomless high
way was a similar feature Of oil de-
velopment in Western Pennsylvania.
though escape was not infrequently
had to the adjacent fields a resort
that is forbidden by the topography
of West Virginia.
The loss sustained from such inn
passable roads is beyond computation.
The oil producers are losing hundreds
of dollars day down in Tyler coun-
ty by reason of the mud, told Of in
The report quoted, and they are losing
that State and this. Their losses are
the more noticeable, because more
concentrated, but the like losses are
falling upon every farmer and person
who needs the service of team,
wherever the unimproved mud road
exists. 1t is costing Allegheny coun-
ty something for better roads, but
their use may easily save their cost
in few years.

to the White House and had a half an
hours conference with the president
He stated that no further word had been
received from Ambassador Cambon, but
admitted that he expected call from
that gentleman today. Certain mem
bers of the cabinet expressed the opin.
ion that the president would have some
news for that body when it met today.
The naval war board, led by Acting
SECRETARY Allen, called ON Judge Day
Yesterday. 1t is believed their purpose
was to impress upon the secretary the
Importance of making the surrender OF
important strategic points at the en-
trance of harbors, such as MORO castle
at Havana harbor, a condition for the
cessation of hostilities. 1t is question
able, however, whether it is not now
- late to amend the protocol in its
distance as proposed by the war
BOARD.
A rumor was put aloat yesterday
afternoon to the effect that Secretary
Alger. in anticipation of the begin
ming of the formal peace nego-
tiations. had .cabled General Miles
and General Merritt, in Porto Rico and
looked like Il cessation of hos.ihties.
When his attention was direc6ed TO
this rumor, Secretary Alger promptly
pronounced it to be without foundation
and as absurd, and his words were
Adjutant General Corbin, through
whose hands any such messages must
pass
AS matter of fact General Miles
seems to be pressing forward with the
greatest energy and cablegram re-
ceived from him late yesterday after
noon reported the forward movement Of
General Schwan, in charge of one OF
the divisions of the American army
and the ensuing skirmish. Ernst 5
brigade is also advancing rapidly along
the road to Aibonite and made what
Miles described as a very important
capture at Coamo Wednesday.
Merritt undoubtedly is pursuing his
campaign in Luzon. 1t is stated posi-
lively that he is under no restraining
order from the war department, bu,
that it is left entirely to his own discre
ton, when and how to attack Manila.
Inasmuch as it has been reported from
Cavlte that he was simply awaiting the
arrival there of the double turreted
monitor Monadnock, the vessel may
have arrived and he may have made
the attack. While not quite clear as &c
General Merritt's purpose in defering
is attack until the vessel arrived it was
the opinion of the military officials that
his plan was to plant the two monitors,
Monterey and Monadock, directly
within range of the Manila batteries
and if demand for surrender was re.
fused, to batter down those defenses.
OF course, when he is informed of the
signing of the protocol, hostilities viii
cease.

Attacked the Lighthouse at Cape San
Juan, Porto ico-Warships' Work.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA cablegram
from Porto Rico, printed yesterday
states that ON Tuesday, before day
break, 800 Spaniards marched through
Luquillo and pulled down the American
flag at Fajardo and replaced the Span
ish flag. They then opened fire on the
lighthouse with machine gun at dis
lance of 800 yards.
The Leyden, Ensign Crossley COM
manding, rushed within 100 yards Of
the shore and poured one Founders into
the Spaniards. The Amphitrite used
six-pounders and the Cincinnati 5-inch
guns, driving the Spaniards back.
The ships landed $50 men during the
fight and reinforced the lighthouse A
machine gun, rifles and ammunition
were left by the retreating Spaniards
Our dag is still on the lighthouse, buJ
the forces have been withdrawn The
Amphitrite's guns cover the lighthouse
however
The lighthouse was guarded by 10 OF
our sailors, commanded by Lieutenana
Atwater, Assistant Engineer Jenkin
Ensign Bronson and Gunner Campbell
Refugees report that about 100 Span
iards were killed. William H. Board
man of the Amphitrite, of Lawrence,
Mass, a second class man IN the naval
academy, was seriously wounded He
was IN the lighthouse.

such would be the course OF the span
ish government. 1t is confidently eX.
pected that the signatures will be al.
fixed to this document today, anu I'M.
mediately thereafter both governments
will begin carrying out its provisions.
The first will be the cessation OF hostlh,
ties, followed Immediately by the occu-
patton of Manila by General Merritt
and the United States troops under his
command, the occupation OF San Juan,
in Porto Rico, by General Miles and the
evacuation of that island by the Span
ish forces. 1t is believed that there
will be delay in the evacuation OF Ha-
vana, Matanzas and other Spanish
strongholds in Cuba, as some Difficult
ties are anticipated in arranging for .
proper form of government OF Cuba,
and because there is no desire to hurry
American troops into the island at the
present time, the preference being to
wait for cooler weather.
There is good authority for the state
ment that Secretary Day will be at the
head Of the peace commission and that
two United States senators will he
members of it, Senator Allison OF
Iowa and Senator German of Mary
land have been prominently mention
for places on the commission and II Is
known that they have been under con-
sideration by the president.
1t is not believed by members of the
administration that the commission
can complete its work in time to cause
an extra session of congress to consider
legislation which the treaty of peace
will necessitate, although there is u
prospect that an extra session of the
senate might be called in November TO
consider the treaty Of peace.
The interest in government circles
centered yesterday in the newspaper
dispatches from Madrid as TIE
first news of the decision of the
Spanish government would be made
public there and there was no likelihood
of anything being known officially in
Washington during the day as to
Spain's decision respecting signatures

The present outlook is for an
early settlement of our difficulties
with Spain in dignified and patri-
otto manner, which has character
lied all the important moves of this
administration, and too much praise
cannot be given President McKin-
ley for his wise, patriotic and able
settlement of the many perplexing
questions which have arisen during
the progress of the war.

New York Times calls attention to
the fact that we have credit bal
ance of $600000,000 in our trade
with foreign nations for the fiscal
year just closed. We owe far less
abroad than we have owed at any
other time in the last fifteen years,
because we have been huying back
our securities, and buying them
cheap. Accordingly we have less
