A Gruesome Find.

Levi Richardson, colored
man of Spartanburg, had two
sons in the Tenth regiment. He
was notified that his son Robert
dad died in a hospital at Lexlng-
ton and was asked what he de-
sired to be done with the body.
He tslegraphed for it to be sent
to Spsrtanburg for burial. On
it's arrival, when the coffin was
opened a strange face appeared
within. No one in Spartsnburg
had ever seen the body before.
The hospital authorities in Lex
ington had either mixed the names
or else two colored soldiers had
died the same day and the wrong
body was shipped to Spsrtsnburg.

Accept the American COndi,
tionS Without Exception.

Paris, Nov. 2S.-The Joint
peace commissions met promptly
at 2 O'Clock this afternoon and
the Spanish commissioners i'm
mediately announced their ac-
ceptance of the American de-
mands. The Spanish acceptance
was made verbally.
The commissioners announced
that they were authorized by their
government to reply that though
the American propositions are in
admissible on legal principles and
are not a proper compromise on
legal principles, that on the Span.
ish part all diplomatic resources
are exhausted and that Spain,
inspired by reasons of patriotism
and humanity and to avoid the
horrors of war, resigns herself to
the power of the victor.
She accepts the offer of cons
ditions unconditionalIy in order
to conclude treaty of peace.
The American demands include
the acquisition of the whole of the
Philippine and Sulu groups for
$50, 100000 and it also under.
stands that the United States will

LANCASTER. s. g. NOV 30 1898

describes the city now as pest
hole, filed with unmentionable
filth. squalor and destitution. The
Spanish authorities have, how
ever, agreed to inaGgurate the
work ofputting the city in sani-
:Ary coalition with the aid of the
American authorities and work to
this end is to begin at once. Gen.
Butler paints II dark picture
of destitution among the poorer
classes and says it will probab-
ly be necessary for us to furn-
ish some aid to the starving
and wretched.
Gen. Butler paid a high tribute
to the discipline and uncomplain-
ing suffering of the Spanish troops.
They endured hardshlps, he says,
which would have caused Ameri-
can soldiers to revolt. As an
illustration of the admirable dis
cipline of the Spanish soldiery,
he said that at one time there
were 43, 900 Spanish soldiers IN
Habana; yet he never saw or
heard of an act of violence nor
did be hear of or see a single
Spanish soldier intoxicated.
Gen. Butler will remain here
several days and probably have
another interview with the presi :
dent. He will then go to his
home in South Carolina whence
he will return in about 10 days
to Habana. His wife and daught-
er will accompany him on his re-
turn. This fact leads to the be-
lief that he may be destined for
military service in Cuba as his
present mission expires with the
completion of the evacuation.

A Little Child Taken From Its
Bed in the Night.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Camden, Nov 26. MIR j A Hall,
who lives about five miles from
Camden had a queer experience
last night. Mr. Hall and his wife
went to bed early after having
shut up the house. A baby girl
of Mr. and Mrs Hall Was sleeping
in a bed beside Its parents. About
9 O'Clock Mrs Hall awoke, and
glancing towards the child's bed
made the alarming discovery that
the child was missing. She arous-
ed Mr. Hall and a search was made
about the house, but the child
could not be found They then
discovered that window IN the
bedroom which they had closed on
retiring, was open. Mr. Hall got
on his horse, and, calling his
hounds, began to search for the
child, with the result that in about
half an hour he came across the
child sitting in cotton field about
100 yards from the horse. The
child when found was not injured
in any way, and appeared to he
just waking up. 1t was inpossi-
BILE for the child to have gotten
out of the window by itself, as tho
window was high from tn. floor,
and some one must undoubtedly
have broken into the window and
took the chlld out.

DESTITUTION OF POORER
CLASSES.
The General Pays High Com,
pliment to the Discipline and
Cunduct of Spanish Soldiers
-Habana's Sanitary Con-
dition.

Washington, Nov. 26.-Gen.
Nj. &. Butler of South Carolina.
member of the Cuban evacua-
ton commission arrived here to-
day direct from Habana in re-
sponse to a telegraphic summons
from President Mckinley, and
this afternoon he had two hours
consultation with the president at
the White House. He made an
extended report of the negotia-
tons for the evacuation and of
the terms upon which the Span
lards had agreed to complete it
by January /. Gen. Butler
gave it as his opinion that all the
Spaniards have met the American
com nissioners with reasonable
fairness and that there has been
little friction. Some of the claims
they have made for compensation
tor the Spanish property have
been ridiculous and they will, of
course, be abandon, d in the end.
Gen. Butler denies all tho reports
OF dissension among tho mombers
OF the American commission.
In addition to his report upon
the actual work of the Joint COM
mission, Gen. Butler gave the
president much valuable infor
nation as to the general situation
IN Cuba. the ability of Cubans
for self~gove. nment, the sanitary
conditions of Habana and general
ly the results of his observations
during his stay there. Gen.
Butler is of the opinion that the
military government of the island
must be continued for some time.
but that it should only be as
rigorous as may be necessary to
preserve order. He thinks the
Cubans are ambitious for self
government and anxious to AVOID
friction with the American
authorities. If military control
is exercised with discretion he be-
lieves there will be little trouble.
One of the most troublesome
features of the situation i. the
criminal class and the difficulty of
determining in the case of prison
ers who ore incarcerated for DO
litlcal otfenses and who for crime.
There has existed in Habans in
the past an oath bound organiza.
tlon on the order of the Italian
malta known as the nanigo, which
was source of terror to tho in
habitants. One of the few com.
mendsble acts of Weyler was the
deportation of about 700 of the
members of this organization to
the penial colony of Ceuta. But
fears are expressed that these
criminals may return or that the
order may be revived by some OF
those who were not deported.
One of the features of the stu.
alton in which the authorities
here are especially interested Just
now is the sanitary condition of
Habana. The shipment of troops
which has already begun and the
existence of yellow fever in Ha-
bana all the year round makes it
absolutely necessary that tho city
should be placed in thorough
sanitary condition. Gen. Butler
