the city and produced considerable sur
prise But the Spaniards say the fact
of the Consuls leaving has not pro-
duced the effect which the friends of the

matte quarters over this result and the
expression of belief that it was an au-
curry of peace.
The exact terms of the armistice ale
felt to be the most essential feature of
Spains concession. At the outset ii
was supposed to be an unconditional
grant of armistice. Later, however, the
press adyices from Madrid and London
stated conditions of a very material
character. If these conditions prove ~
be accurate, they will doubtless compl;-
cate the situation here and leave the
crisis quite as acute as it has been at
any time heretofore. A Cabinet officer
said recently that the administration had
never considered the proposition of with
drawing the American fleet from Key
West, and while this was some days ago,
it is not believed that such proposition
would meet with any serious considera-
ton.
The fact that Spain has granted this
armistice as the result of inuehnce ex-
erted by the great powers of Europe and
the Pope, leads to much conjecture as to
how far the material Influences of the
powers will be given in support of
Spain now that she has yielded to their
earnest solicitation. 1t has been under
stood thus far that tie movement of the
powers was purely disinterested and neu-
trail. but the press dispatches from
abroad Indicate that Spain's yielding to
these continental influences had estab-
lshed Il closed bond than had hitherto
existed.
Assistant Secretary Day was non
committal tonight on the armistice
tod i.v-S
il or the bearing it would have OH the
situation in any way.
With the conditions suggested by
Spain, it is felt here that u new and
even grayer crisis may arise. Coming
late at night there is no opportunity to
judge how the Spanish conditions will be
received by Congress, but in view of the
sentiments Of the Senate and House, it
is felt that the conditions proposed by
Spain may accentuate the feeling already
existing there.
The military and naval preparations
continued with undated activity,a land the
strategic experts are formulating pros
pectiye plans of campaign. 1t seems to
be the accepted view among these eX-
perts that it will not be necessary to ex-
tend the campaign beyond the island of
Cuba, unless Spain assumes an aggres-
sive attitude i'm which case the opera
tons of the United States military and
naval forces will be extended to the
Spanish possessions of Porto Rico, the
Philippines, the Canaries and possibly
Spain itself. 1t is the opinion, however.
that the fighting will not extend far be-
yond Cuba and Cuban waters, and that
after the United States controls Cuba
hostilities would not be prolonged. This
view, however, leaves out the fact that
after fighting once begins, it cannot be
foretold how far it will go, and this
government is preparing for any emer-
gency.

SAVE YOUR EYES.

The people of Phoenix. and in fact of the entire valley, have good reason for congratulating themselves in the fact that George H. Cook has succeed ed in connecting with his business very valuable acquisition, in the per- son of MT. Paul Ramser. This gentle man is not only an optician, but an oculist. He comes here from Rock Island, H., and is a graduate of the Chicago Ophthalmic college. which is the only institution of the kind recog- nized by the medical fraternity. He is a thorough master of optics and every thing pertaining to the eyes, and MT. Cook has equipped an optical room with all of the modern improvements and appliances for diagnoses and fit ting. Not many towns of this size in the United States can boast of such an establishment with such a master in charge of it.
