SANTIAGO.

General Shafter yesterday cabled to
Washington that at least %, 0G0 Spanish
troops would be included in the sur
render by General Toral of Santiago
and an outlying district. OF these about
one-half are in the city of Santiago and
the rest distributed among other garrl.
sons. 1t was also stated by General
Shafter that the formal terms of surren-
der had not been agreed upon, as the
Spanish commissioners insisted that the
Spanish troops should be allowed to
take their arms back with them to
Spain. Over this point the commits
sioners discussed for several hours On
Thursday and again yesterday morn
ing. At the time OF Skaters cablegram
no decision had been reached. General
SKATER has no doubt of the ultimate
settlement of this point.
1t was stated by General Toral that
permission to surrender had been grant
ed him by General Blanco and by the
Madrid government. The British vice
consul, who was one of the Spanish
commissioners, stated that the Ameri-
cans had tapped all the water mains
and that water famine was imminent
in Santiago.
In Washington members of the Cab-
net express the opinion that Spain will
soon institute movement for the ces-
sation of hostilities. President McKin-
ley said yesterday that he hopes for
early peace. A member of the Cabinet
stated that no overtures for peace have
been received by any United States
embassy or legation abroad or by the
State Department at Washington. The
outlook for peace is regarded as much
more encouraging since the collapse OF
the Spanish resistance at Santiago.
4 dispatch from Havana gives sn in
terview with General Blanco, in which
he is quoted as saying that he is not in
favor of any effort for peace and only
wished be were young enough to give
his entire life and all his faculties TO
fighting necessarily against the United
States, whose only idea has been to
damage and calumniate my country,
which love devotedly."
Premier Sagasta IL quoted las saying
in Madrid yesterday that Spain wants
peace, but that "it must be an honor
able peace, as Spain deserves. The
army" the Premier is said to have
added, lis anxious to resist to the last,
but the government cannot consent to
such q useless sacrifice. Had we our
feet the situation would be very differ
snt."
The War Department is informed
that General Lineres, the wounded
Spanish commander, escaped from
Santiago before the surrender.

prejudiced people, familiar with the

over the action of a Jerseyman who

sued, but was soon quoted.

EVEN ACCORDING to the censored
dispatch from Santiago, there are four
hundred cases of yellow fever among
the American troops near chat town.
OF course, that means q great many
more; but that number of infectious
centers in an army is ample cause OF
serious alarm, and should suffice to
brush away at once any bubbles about
the terms of surrender, so that the
Americans can be removed from that
pestilential locality as soon as possible.
Death on battle field, by bullet or shell,
in an aggressive war, Is not desirable;
in hospital, and by black vomit, it is
even less so.

ments against trap.fshermen in the
district of NJ. ". Hudson, oyster in
spector, for trap-fishing without license
in waters within the jurisdiction of that
county. A great many of the fisher.
men believed the tax to be illegal on
traps located in the Potomac and Chesa-
peake, and refused outright to paw.
Others were willing to pay if all would
The result has been that very few have
ever paid, and the delinquents will now
probably be put to no little inconve-
nience and expense.

MASONIC

The Obligation Must Be Sacredly Kept.
 Chips From the Temple.
 When a s'profane'" is admitted to the sacred circle of the fraternity, he enters voluntarily and of his own accord. He en- tors into a solemn compact with his mas ter, with his lodge and with the entire fraternity It ia a compact, an agreement, a Covenant, ;" by which the practices of Masonry are governed. It is promise to walk uprightly by the plumb of roctitude, to do and to forbear doing This binds each member of the craft, and 1t is cord which holds them together.
 Tho art works of the lato John Sartain are now on exhibition in tho library of the Masonic temple, Philadelphia.
 The increasing practice of lodges and brethren iL publishing the doings of Ma sonic bodies is an evil says Grand Master Scott of Illinois.
 The grand lodge of England says Ma sorry Is a system of morality yelled in all legory and illustrated by symbols
 The grand lodge of Freemasons has re- elected the Prince of Wales for the twenty fourth year oonseoutively to be grand mas ter of the order in England
 The grand lodge of Minnesota voted that the use in any Masonic hall or lodge- room by any brother of any book purport- ing to give tho secret or unwritten work of the three degrees, if permitted by the worshipful master, shall on presentation of such fact to the grand master, be suffi- eient cause for the arrest of the charter of the lodge in which the offense occurs.
 Masonry's teachings gre imperishable truths and the system of morality which constitutes it's foundation embraces every thing that is calculated to attract the su- perior mind.
 The grand lodge of Masons in Virginia has made arrangements to celebrate the centennial of the death of Washington Dec. II, 1899.
 Decisions made by tho grand master of Pennsylvania cannot be reviewed or chang cd by the grand lodge. There is no appeal.
 The name "Freolnason' appears for the first time in statute 25 of Edward l of England, in 1850. It signitied one who worked in freestone as distinguished from the mason who built walls of rough stones.
 In Delaware a warden cannot confer 0 degree unless he be past master. In the absence of the master the senior warden, and succeeding him the junior warden, may open the lodge and transact tho busi- ness, but if there is q degree to confer he must invite past master to do it.

 After each meal dissolve one or two of them in the mouth and. mingling with the food, they con stitute perfect digestive, absolutely safe for the most sensitive stomach.

 One disease. one remedy, the successful physician of today is the specialist, the successful medicine is the medicine prepared especially for one disease.
