The imports into Porto Rico have
generally been somewhat in excess of
the exports from the islands, but in
1896, for the first time in more than q
decade, the value of the merchandise
shipped to foreign markets was slight
ly greater than that of the imported
wares. The exports for 1896 had a
value of SIS, ,34l ,43O and were decidedly
the largest on record. while the iln-
ports for the same year, valued at $1s-,

Washington. Aug. I'M. Cambon, French

him to act for Spain In the matter of peace
negotiations. In consequence the terms as
proposed by President Mckinley were dis

the white house terms had practically been

Withdrawal by Spain Of her forces and
sovereignty from Cuba, the United States
to exercise control until stable govern

ONE. lesson of the Santiago engage.
ment seems to be that the battleship
must not carry torpedoes Another is
that, particularly in a sea engagement,
torpedo boats and their normal de-
stroyers count for little, and that the
rapid-fire batteries of the ships are of
supreme Importance. To these may
be added the crowning lesson that we
want no slow battleships. Every one

any in its class in any navy in the

Did Not Commit Himself.
President Mckinley did not commit him
self in regard to the American policy except
He did explain. however. that II Spain
agreed to the proposition to give up the
West Indies before entering upon general
peace negotiations it would be treated fair
ly in regard to its possessions in the orient.
The president explained to the French am
that there was difference Of opinion
not only in the cabinet but throughout the

tanning the Philippines and the other Pa
cific groups. The president did not say he
was opposed to their retention. but he went
would be something to strive for. and that
the concession In regard to Cuba and
Puerto Rico would not be met immedia lely
by harsh ultimatum on the part Of the

quiet but firm manner that II Spain re-
jected the present offer and forced the
United States to continue its vast expendi-
ture Of men and money 1t would result
only In adding to the items properly charge
able against the defeated nation. and con-
ditions which the United States would con-
slider reasonable now would be out Of the
question OelOre Christmas. Tne president
explained that in view Of the division of
opinion in this country there was at least
q chance that Spain might retain some Of
her possessions in the Pacific. but II the
war were continued that chance would dts
appear entirely. and after Watson's arrival
OH the other side Of the Atlantic the Phil
ippines and adjacent islands would nec-
essarily occupy the position now held by
Cuba and Puerto Rico as territory entirely
outside the pale Of negotiations. while the
Canaries and the Balearic islands would
become debatable ground. as the Philip
pines are to-day.
After the note had been cabled to Madrid
almost all OF the members Of the cabinet
expressed the. opinion in private converse
ton shat the Spanish government would
probably reject the offer made by the
United States. This is expected by all OF
them for some reason which they find 1t
difficult to explain beyond the constitutional
inability Of Spaniards to recognize facts as
facts.

THE South McAlester Capital
has this pleasing and important
news to give out: Hon. A. S..
McKennon of the Dawes commits
sion is assiduously working on the
school question. He placed the
condition before Cleveland person
ally. Cleveland told him that too
much money was being spent on
the Territory as it was. A few
days ago Mr.. McKennon laid the
matter personally before President
Mckinley. Mr.. Mckinley remark
ed that as so much money was be-
ing expended ON bad people it
would be a good thing to spend
money on the good people, and
that he would sanction a bill look
ing to the providing of schools for
the white children of the Territory.
With the Dawes commission rec
ommending a bill of this kind, the
Secretary Of the Interior urging its
passage and the President willing
to sanction it, there remains for
the educational forces of the Terri
tory a complete organization and
understanding and a method de-
vised which will bring the needs of
the Territory children before Con-
gress. All educational interests
that have an existence here should
take this matter up and treat it as
a live and burning issue. Colleges
and churches, bar and medical as
sOciatiOns, secret societies, COM
mercial clubs and leagues, all
should go to work and at once,
while the signs are so favorable.
and bring this matter to a focus.
Any action taken by the people
will be heartily endorsed by the
Dawes commission, and that COM
mission viii give every possible as
sistance in its power to further the
cause of education in this Terri
tory"

PUBLIC sentiment IN the Unit
ed States has justification for
taking umbrage at the attitude of
of the French press. Since
the opening OF the peace confer
ence in Paris it has been conspi-
ciously partial to Spain and in
majority of instances decided hos
tile to the American side of the
agotiations. When the war be-
gan. and even during the period
Immediately preceding its begin
ming. the Paris newspapers were
filed with comments of the most
unfriepdly nature. These took on
such tone of rancor that a move
ment was set on foot in some of
our principal cities to taboo French
goods in patriotic reproof of Gallo
animosiry So marked and prompt
became this movement that French
merchants and manufacturers took
alarm. Pressure was brought to
bear on the offending newspapers,
and the representative officials of
the French republic on number
of public occasions and III inter-
views disclaimed any i'll feeling on
the part of the government and
citizens Of France towards the
United States. These protestations
of ami:y were taken at their sur
face worth by the. people of this
country, and a return to good ma
tured regard for the French was
increased by the friendly part tax
en- by Ambassador Cambon in ar
ranging peace preliminaries. This
had much to do in influencing the
administration to accept the invi-
tation of President Faure to hold
the treaty conference in Paris.
Since the peace commission began
their session the French newspa-
pers. with scant exception, have
renewed and increased their con-
demnatory criticisms of American
methods and motives. The French
government is excessively ly-and
perhaps sincerely-rolite to our
treaty representatives, but it is
difficult on this side to believe that
French sentiment is otherwise than
what is reflected by the Partisan
journals. The officious and mex
cusable attitude of these papers is
violative of the laws of hospitality
and good breeding. Moreover,
their course is a piece of mischiev-
Gus intermeddling in a matter in
which France has no right or pro-
vocation 10 interfere. Republic.
