MILES AND SKATER MEET
After Dodging Each Other for a
Week.

Chicago, Oct 17.-For week a game
of hide and SEEK has been going on
between the president and General
Miles and General Miles and General
Shafter.
General Miles reached Omaha Tues
day night, his train having been de-
layed by & wreck. The president got
there considerably ahead of him. How
ever, General Miles viewed the exposi-
ton with the president Wednesday and
Thursday he was the chief speaker upon
the occasion of the observance of Army
and Navy Day. His staff were also en-
tertained at a reception, but General
Shafter and his staff were not there al
though they were expected.
General Shafter was due in Omaha
Friday and General Miles endeavored
to get away from Omaha that night. He
could not connect with the ST. Paul
train, however, and was compelled to
remain over.
Friday General Miles and General
Shafter met face to face in the corridor
of the hotel at Omaha.
Miles looked at Shafter and Shafter

MANS SKELETON FOUND.
Discovered Among Brush in a Ravine
Near Decatur, Ill

Decatur, Ill, Oct. 17.-This forenoon,
while three young men were out hunt
ing on the Capt. Allen farm, two miles
south of this city, among a lot of brush
in ravine, they discovered the skeIe-
ton of a man, devoid of all flesh, but
still clothed in a fairly good suit. The
mans hat had been thrown aside, a
foot distant from the head. In the gar
ments were found silver watch pock-
etbook and a knife. There was no mon
ey or letters by which the man could
be identified, and no marks of violence.
Coroner Bendure took charge of the
skeleton, and is trying to unravel the
mystery. The man had been dead at
least three months. Nobody is missing
in this section.

to assume not only the Philippine and
Cuban debts, but the Porto Rican debt
as well, on the ground that the debts
go with the transfer of sovereignty.
The American commissioners have re-
Jected these propositions without dis
cussiOn, and will continue to do so, their
instructions not permitting them to ac-
cept or guarantee in any way any col
Onial debt contracted by Spain.
The session of the peace commission
today is expected to be one of the most
important yet held, for the American
representatives are under instructions
to make the Spanish representatives
plainly aware that Spain has sued for
peace and must pay the price of defeat
and such suit. It is admitted by the
administration people that for the sake
of public opinion and to give the Span
ish people and the world the impression
that they are acting under duress, the
Spanish commissioners may resist the
demands of the United States and COM
pei this nation to make a naval demon
stration on the coast of Spain. In su h
an event all of the armOr-clads will be
available. The wisdom of the navy de-
partment in delaying the departure #
the battleships Oregon and Iowa and of
directing them to call at Rio de JaneIru
and participate in the anniversary CT
the establishment of the republic of
Brazil is beginning to be appreciated.
These vessels, under the plan of the de-
partment, will not leave Rio de Janeiro
before November 20, and possibly not
then. BY that time it will have been
pretty clearly demonstrated whether
Spain purposes to comply with the de-
mands of this government or will I'M
dergO the humiliation of a naval demon
stration before accepting the terms i'm
posed by the United States. In the
latter event the Oregon and Iowa, being
well supplied with Golfers, can proceed
to the Canary Islands or any other
point near the coast of Spain and ar
rive at their destination a few days af-
ter the arrival of the -clads leav-
ing New York at the same time.
But the bankrupt condition of the
Spanish treasury and the folly of ex-
pecting Interference from any European
power, will, administration officials are
constrained to believe, finally prevent
Sagasta from going to such lengths.
There is a possibility, I even say
there is a probability, of hostilities be-
ing renewed if the newspapers reflect
accurately the attitude of the Spanish
commissioners toward our commission
ers in Paris
This is part of an interview given with
a close, perhaps the closest, friend Of
the president now in the city.
But If there be war it will be a much
shorter struggle than the one which we
tnought we had just finished" he said
Inc dispatches indicate that Spain is
purposely mlsconstruing the protocol If
she thinks that the United States have
1ot reserved the right in the protocol to
dispose of the Philippines, Spain being
a party to the disposal, then She is mis-
taken. and the United States cannot
yield that point. If Spain will not
yield there is no other way out of it
than that diplomatic relations such as
they are, be broken off and that this
government resume and finish the war

THE BABCOCK TRIAL.

The suit of a Mrs. Potter against
the Neccdah Lumber Company, in
which it was alleged that the com
pany had defrauded the plaintiff to
the ,eXtent of $4,000, terminated in
the circuit court at Mauston, Janu-
airy 22d, mi a verdict for the defend
ent company. Congressman Bah
cock being a prominent member Of
the company, the suit attracted
more public attention than it other
wise would. II was mentioned in the
press of the state very generally at
the time of its beginning, and friends
of Mr.. Babcock seemed to feel ag-
grieved thereby, claiming that the
publicity given to the case was de-
signed or calculated to adversely af-
feet him politically. There is no
reason why they should have 50 felt
any more than there is reason now
for others to feel that the unusual
publicity being given, especially by
the democratic press Of this congress
sional district, to the decision of the
case, is designed or calculated to in
fate Mr.. Babcock's boom for IA fourth
term as NJ. G. or for seat in the
