that SPANS advances are made for the
purpose of showing the position of the
United States. She hoped in this way
to interest the European powers. 1t is
not expected here that Spain will agree
to the terms proposed for it is thought
that when they are known in Spain a
wave of popular Indignation will sweep
over the peninsula and that the Spanish
government will drop all negotiations.
Madrid-With the understandings that
no indemnity will be demanded. and
that Spanish sovereignty in the Phil

peace attributed to President Mckinley
as acceptable.

gray at the bar! These men have af their
command the reading of twoscore years.
They are armed with the humur of ex-
perience and the cool sight Of age. Their
intellects, never having beer wasted in
idleness, are as fresh as d Young girls

ment on an important affair, it is not to
make a few palsied remarks. They go
deep, plunging into the very core Of
things. If need be they begin to eluci-

hottest confines of ancient civilizations,
and they drift easily and gracefully

An Arctic Hotel,

The most northern hotel in the world
is on the inhospitable shore of Advent
bay, where it washes the west coast of
Spitzbergen. Tourist hythen (Tourist
hotel) is the name Of the remote estab-
lishment. Its season is necessarily short,
extending from July 10 to Aug. IS, but
it gives a hearty welcome to the few
venturesome travellers who have the to-
merity to seek its shelter. 1t has accom-
modations for 30 guests. 1t is announc-
ed that the increase of travel to the gate
OF the arctic regions has made the es.
tablishment of a postoffice III the hotel
a necessary feature. The hotel is in an
approximate latitude of rs degrees Is
minutes, or 500 miles farther north than
Hammerfest. Probably a better idea of
it's situation may be gained from the
statement that the late quarters of the
ackson-Harmsworth expedition in
Franz-Josef Land were hardly more
than $50 miles nearer the pole. The
building naturally is unpretentious in
appearance, being only ~ stories high,
with a diminutive porch at the front.
AS a matter of course it is built Of

1t is believed that Spain has prac.

Some time ago Sir Frank received an
invitation to stay at a friends country
house in "a remote district. But he
thought of taking a short holiday, and
as the invitation mentioned no length of
stay he t~elegraphed, MAY l stay six
days!' The message was duly delivered
to his friend, who had to pay 6 shillings
to the messenger, and his reply was,
Yes, OF course, but don't telegraph"
Here was an excellent opportunity for a
joke, and Sir Frank was not slow to
seize it. AS evening was falling another

that part plain" And the carver an

Important Addition to the War De-
pnrtment's List of Transports.
Washington. June 26.-An important
addition to hte war Departmental list
of vessels available for transport duty,
and freight service was announced
yesterday. This was the purchase Of
eight large ships Of over 5000 tons
burden each for use on the. Atlantic
coast. Heretofore the practice of the
war department has been to charter
all the vessels which it has used, and
the announcement of the acquisition of
ships by purchase is distinctly a new
departure in the policy Of the govern
mcnt, due it is believed to the fact that
the owners and agents of the various
companies heretofore have asked such
high prices. 1t was authoritatively
stated that impressment Of ships on
the Atlantic coast would not be resort
ed to but that such as were desired
would be obtained in some other way.
1t is understood that the purchase
price Of the ships was approximately
$4,OOOOOO.

Commerce.

Washington, June 26.-The war is to
be carried into Africa, metaphorically
speaking, if Spain is foolhardy enough
to send the CadiZ fleet through the
Snez Canal to attack Dewey in the
Philippines. 1t is announced on good
authority, that before the last Spanish
vessel has passed through the canal an
American squadron will be steaming
at full speed across the Atlantic.
straight for the coast of Spain to bring
the war home to the Spanish people.
There is no doubt that Dewey can
take care of himself against the Cadiz
fleet since his own squadron will he
reinforced by ironclads long before
Camaras ships sight the bay of Ma
Mia, and he will have the shore batter
les with him instead of against him in
the struggle. But it has been conclud-
ed by the administration that nothing
but the most severe measures will
suffice to bring the Spanish people to
a realization of the hopeiassness Of the
Continuance of the War,
and even kindness, it is said. COM
mands such a blow as it is proposed to
administer if the Spanish persist in
this project. After the fall of Santiago
and the capture or destruction Of Ger
vera's squadron Sampson will have an
abundance of vessels to spare for the
task set for him. Promptly he will
constitute the attacking fleet in two
sluaGrons, the first a flying squadron
tt .,e composed Of the swiftest vessels
of the fleet, such as the Columbia, Min
neapolis, Harvard Yale, st. Louis, St.
Paul, New Orleans and such craft.
This will be followed, under another
command, either Sampson or Schley,
by the battleships, which Capt. Clark's
experience with the Oregon has shown
can easily be counted on for the voy-
age across the Atlantic. With the
Iowa, Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts
and Texas, all battleships, supplement-
ing the New York and the Brooklyn,
cruisers, and the less powerfus but
speedy vessels of the flying squadron,
the Spanish coast will be speedily
Swept Clear of All Commerce,
all Spanish shipping will be destroyed
and some of the best ports blockaded
or bombarded. No official news came
to the war department during office
hours from our army hear Santiago.
This was the cause for mild surprise
at the department as Ge,i. Shafter has
a cable at his command, and it was eX-
pected he would report the measure of
success he has attained in the debarka-
ton Of his army on Cuban soil and the
beginning Of operations against Ssnt-
ago. However, the general has the
reputation here of being a man of
deeds rather than words, and of aot
being given to over many official re-
ports. Not hearing from him the Of

ton entirely upon the press reports.

other Cuban officers gave Gen. Shafter
and Admiral Sampson hearty well
come at Acerraderos when the Ameri-
can officers, on board the steamer Sc
guranca, went to his headquarters for
a consultation. The Cubans showered
upon their distinguished visitors all
the blessings of Cuba Libre for the as
sistance Of the United States in the
Cuban struggle for freedom, and they
expressed the conviction that victory
was at hand and that the power Of
Spain would soon be driven from the
