WASHINGTON T
WASHINGTON, D. @, Augu.

i'Ns ~ ~ h"Sh7A VI
So far as fighting i, concerned the
war is regarded in Washington as over.
True, the Spanish government is still
dilly.dallying about forwarding its Of.
fetal acceptance Of our terms of peace,
but IL has caused President Mckinley
to be informed that it is acting for self
preservation, and not from any desire
to delay the matter; that it must secul Q
popular support at home in order %
avoid a civil war. That the admins
tration has accepted this information
in good faith may be judged from the
fact that the transports which carried
the army OF General Miles to Porto
Rico, and which were to have been
used to carry requirements to Miles,
have been ordered to Santiago 10 assist
ir bringing the men IN Skaters army
home. Gen. Miles is still daily occu.
plying o territory in Porto Rico, but
he is doing no fighting and it is not tx.
pected that he will do any, unless the
dilly.dallying Of Spain shall be pro.
longed to such an extent as to provoke
the president into Withdrawing the
terms Of peace that have been offered.
There 10 also reason for stating that
Gen, Merritt and Admiral Dewey have
orders not to do any lighting at Manila
unless it Is forced upon them. AL
though President Mckinley is natur-
ally anxious that Spain should accept
the terms Of peace at once he would
be- perfectly willing to stretch the sim.
mediate" evacuation of Cuba, provided
for in the terms, considerably, as he
would prefer not having to $, nd an
army of occupation To Cuba until well
into September, after the Sickly season
is over.
-
To the strictly military mind, the
protest signed by ali Of the generals OF
Gen. Skaters army, against keeping
our men at Santiago, to die OF reach q
state of debilitated helplessness from
fever, which the latter forwarded Il
Washington, presented a case Of in
subordination that In any well regulat
ed European army would have result
ed inlthe:court martial of every signel

Oh, the Pain of

Rheumatism often causes the most in

vainly sought relief from this disabling
disease, and are to-day worse of than

and Swift's Specific is the only cure, be-
cause it is the only remedy which can
reach such d~eep-seated diseases.

The president Of the Cuban provis.
ional government has written President
Mckinley a long letter, expressing
thanks to and confidence in the United
States, but the most important para.
graph in the letter is that which out
lilies the intentions Of the insurgents.
" says: "Our first step, with the APP

mpnt, will he to call a new assembly,
which will represent, as far as possible
every section of territory and condition
Of people. Tn : assembly will elect a
new provisional government that will
possess more powers than the present
one, which is, Of necessity, a govern.
ment Of the revolution. But the result
Of the new assembly will be to form IA
government which will still be limited
in power and whose important duty
will be the establishment of a perma-
nent and complete government, found.
ed on the lines of that of the United
States, and one which, we hope, and
have every reason to believe, will be
satisfactory, both to the United States
and to Cuba" The prevailing impress
sion in Washington is hat Cuba will
remain under United States military
government for some time before the
Cubans are allowed to make any ex.
periments in the governing line.

oeived many kilograms from different
parts Of the United States and particu.
larry from Seattle asking about the
cession Of American territory to give
Canadians freer access to the Yukon

including the cities Of skaguay and
Dyea, thus extending the Canadian
boundary line to the Pacific ocean at
the points named, this cession being
given In return for the surrender Of all.
British rights to the seal fisheries in

way and that no proposition whatever
has been accepted.
