AS TO WHIPPLE.

With the prospects of peace now in plain sight, the war department should reconsider it's action in the matter of the abandonment of Whipple barracks as military post and should take into serious consideration it's rehabiliment. hNearly every department commander has recommended that permanent post be maintained there, and the ac- i ton of General Miles in ordering it abandoned was prompted by personal
 pique and spite or his part. The ad- vantages offered lave been fully de- tailed from time n time, both in Ari-
 zona newspapers snd in reports of mil itary officers, so that the department l is thoroughly faroiiiar with them. AS
 matter of justice and right the con

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

Editor Arizona Republican, Sir: In the matter of the erection of a
 monument to the memory of Captain O'Neill and the Rough Riders," let
 me suggest that it be made a terri torial effort, in which all interested
 will secure the very best possible re- suits for their money, and that the
 location be in front of the stone steps of the capitol building about to be erected. The present capitol grounds are the most beautiful in the territory and will always be kept up at the publici expense.
 The erection of this, the first monu-
 ment in Arizona, at the steps of our
 capitol, will inspire the youth of our territory to deeds of valor and fill them with the go-and-do-likewise' spirit Let the people of Prescott
 look this matter of location over with
 care, and note the habits and customs of the English speaking people in 1 such matters A RANCHER. l Phoenix, August 6.

SPAIN ACCEPTS.

We print elsewhere in Shis issue of
 fered by President Mckinley which>
 the Spanish government has accepted.
 Spain is to relinqnish Cuba, Porto
 Rico and her other West Indian hold
 ings, and cede an island in the La drones to this government. We are to hold Manila and the island on which it is situated pending the conclusion of treaty of peace. Nothing has been said yet about pecuniary indemnity
 That question and the future of the Philippines will properly come before the commission. At this distance it looks as if the presidents terms were
 sweeping enough to satisfy the most exacting enemy of Spain. The Dons are to leave the West Indies, bag and baggage It is not impossible that they will be forced to give up the Philippines also. Certainly our peace commissioners will be instructed to de-
 mand their retention by this country at least until Spain shall be able to make good some portion of our inn
 mense financial outlay in this war. We would like to see the Philippines
 come permanently under our control. It is gratifying that the Spaniards
 have recognized the folly of continu- ing the war. Not long ago they gave 1 signs of a determination to court de- struction. On our arms rests the glory of heroic achievements on land and
 on sea- The Maine has been avenged.
 The naughty Don has been sufficiently humbled. Best of all, our country has been united, troublesome questions have been thrust aside, and an era of prosperity has set in. This war has been of lasting value to this country.
 The blood of our heroes has not been
 shed in vain.
