DEWEY AND MILES
REPORTED BUSY
1t Is Confidently Believed that Both
Commanders Are Actively En-
gaged---No Official Reports Re-
ceived as Yet.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-Department
officials have been greatly stirred up by
the receipt of the news from Dewey and
Miles telling of great activity in both
Manila and Porto Rico, and further ad-
vices are being anxiously awaited.
Brief dispatches received contained
no particulars, but it is confidently be-
lieved that operations against the Span
iards at the capital of the Philippines
has commenced.
While little is known of the condition
of affairs at Port Guanica, where Miles
forces have landed, there is little denbt
that the reported activity refers to the
capture of the railroad ten miles from
the point of Decentralization, which
Miles set out to take on landing, and
the dispatch would indicate that some
opposition had been encountered.

notice that that government had been
licked by Uncle Sam and would be
glad to hear of terms that would be ac-
ceptable to this government. 1t is un-
derstood Spain is only willing to ac-
knowledge the independence of Cuba
and possibly the cession of Porto REQ
as the price of indemnity for the war.
1t is said by one close to the president
that McKinley's terms are the cession
of Porto Rico, the Caroline and La
drone islands to the United States; the
independence of Cuba under American
suzerainty, and a coaling station in the
Philippines, together with extensive re-
forms for those islands.

just what terms the United States is
willing to make to bring about peace.
In view of the persistent Inquiries of
the powers within the past few days re-
garding the disposition We may make of
the Philippines it is believed Spain's
latest effort may have been inspired.
At any rate the president is said to have
intimated to the French ambassador
that he would not consider any propo-
sition that would not give direct evil

the commission of tn g crime, and is now
in Jail.
The deed was committed on Mill
street, near Front avenue, the men
having been standing near one of the
cribs on the south side of the street for
some time and apparently engaged in a
quarrel. Few people noticed the drunk
en- dispute. Suddenly there was re-
port of a shot. The larger of the two
men staggered and fell to the ground,
while the other started to run, but was
soon captured.

MADISON, Wis, July 26.-E. Benjamin
Andrews, recently elected superintend-
ent of the schools of Chicago in his ad-
dress before the Monona lake ssembly,
spoke on the subject of European Poll
tics" He predicted great European
war in the near future into which the
United States would be dragged if it did
not go in of it's own accord. He de-
scribed the great strengthening of FORTH
6cations and preparations for war in
every country in Europe.
"You may ask what forces in Europe
preserve peace IN Europe" he said.
This peace force is the moEey power,
the great financiers whose interests are
entirely opposed to war. There are large
mum bers of people, intelligent, thought
full people, who believe that a general
war would kill off enough of the labor
ing population to temporarily solve the
la Dor question. Those who were left
could be paid higher wages and live on
higher plane.
1T is interesting to consider which
nation of Europe would benefit most by
general European war. That nation
undoubtedly would be Great Britain.
She has the navy and the men and the
money. England is far better situated
in a financial way for a war than any
other European power. The present
friendliness of England toward the Unit
ed States believe to be sincere and not
expressed for the purpose of making
capital out of US. We should respond
to the sentiment. Besides ties OF blood,
we would be wise to have a powerful
ally in case of friction with any other
European power.
''We shall probably be compelled to
take a place in the settlement of the
Eastern question. There are many
people who insist that we shall keep up
the role of the hermit nation. In my
judgment there is no choice before the
American nation. Whether we wish to
or not, we must take our place among
the powers of the world. The United
States may be dragged into the company
of the powers by the heels, or take it's
place voluntarily and call to the world,
Here Is Jonathan; he is six feet two;
he has come to stay; he waits to be
counted; you must reckon with him. "

Hendricks commanded with quite a

This time, as the detective took the

rested on the "Notes of the Horse
