ALL OUR DEMANDS
GRANTED BY SPAIN.
All Military and Naval Forces to Mt Once
Cease Movements Against the Enemy.
Blockades Against Cuba, Porto Rico
and Manila Have Been Raised-Five
Commissioners to Be Appointed by Each
Government to Negotiate and Arrange
Treaty of Peace.

With the simplicity in keeping with
republican institutions, the war which
has ragged between Spain and the
United States for three months and
twenty two days was quietly termi-
mated at twenty-three minutes past
four o'clock Friday afternoon, when
Secretary Day, for the United States,
and M. Cambon, for Spain, in the
presence of President Mckinley,
signed the protocol which makes up
the base of a definite treaty of peace.
1t is but simple justice to our sister
republic of France to record the fact
that by her good offices this speedy
termina ion of war that might have
run on indefinitely was brought about,
and the president himself deemed that
action on the part of the French gov
ernment as worthy of his special praise.

To Inspect Books of the Harlem River
 and Portchester Railroad To-Day.
 The state board of equalization, with State Treasurer Grosvenor and Vice President Hall of the Consolidated road, will go to Harlem to-day, where they will examine the books of the Harlem River and Portchester railroad. Last winter MT. Goodwin of Hartford, a large holder of Consolidated railroad stock, appeared before the board of equalization and charged that improper entries as to the cost of running the road had been made in the books of the Harlem River and Portchester rail- road. Vice President Hall then offered to place at'the disposal of the board of equalization and MT. Goodwin special train to go to Harlem and examine the books. The offer was accepted, MT. Goodwin asking that the state treas urer and Colonel N. G. Osborn of this city be permitted to accompany the party.
 The trip to be taken to-day is in ac- cordance with this agreement.

Effort Being Made to Increase Member
 ship of the O. U. A. M.
 The state board of officers of the Order of United American Mechanics have decided to offer prizes to the sub ordinate councils in the state for the purpose of increasing the membership and at the same time to reduce the proportion of those who are not in good standing.
 In circular that has just been sent out, State Councillor Thompson says that for every member gained by sub ordinate council during the term end- ing June 30 prize of $1 will be given by the state council with the proviso that in order for any council to be elig- ible to receive prizes 90 per cent. of its membership must be in good standing on June 30.
 The last reports to the state council showed that in many of the councils in the state the percentage of members who were not in good standing was very large and the state board hopes that the new plan may assist in rem edying this fault
 The state board has worked very eff ficiently to increase the numerical strength of the organization and the circular calls upon the subordinate councils to assist in the work.
