SINCE GEN. LAwToN, who was III
command of the second division of
the Fifth Corps in the movement "a
gainst Santiago, gave his testimony,
no more was heard about anybody be-
ing afraid to put Gen. Lawton on
the stand because of the fearful
things he would tell. 1t has been
the same in Gen. Lawton's case as in
that of all the other officers of promi-
hence who have testified. Before
they were heard, things were put into
their mouths by writer's for yellow
journals, that they never dreamed Of;
after they have testified ia favor of
the general efficiency of the manage
ment Of the war, as every one of them
has done, their names are dropped by
the yellow journals. Gen. Lawton
closed his testimony with these words !:
Taking in consideration the condi
tons that we were obliged to face,
the character of The country, it's CHM
ate and other things being considered,
| can say there was no gross or SER
ious mistake made. can say there
was no lack of care on the part of
any of those IN authority, whose duty
it was to look after the interests of
the camp. We had with US as fine
staff officers as there ere in the world;
no better could be found. These
men worked night and day, and no
human being could do more than
they did,"

the sinking of the Spanish cruiser
Maria Teresa, raised by Lieut.. Hob

be put in good condition 1t was esti-

damaged condition, was worth about
100000 to the government, but it

Washington, Nov. 7th, 1898.

Washington, Nov. 7th, 1898.
SPANS HELPLEssNEsS, Spain is
very careful that the string attached
to it's declination of our demand for
possession of all the Philippine is
lands should be in plain sight. Its
CLAIM that the wording of the proto-
col prohibits our demanding the
Philippines is nothing more than a
diplomatic dodge, intending to ex-
tend the negotiations, and its claim
that our capture of Manila forty eight
hours ftaer the protocol was signed
was illegal, is much like that of the
lawyer, who told his client that it was
impossible to put him in Jail ON the
evidence presented against him, the
interview taking place through the
bars of a Jail cell, in which the client
was confined. President Mckinley
and Secretary Hay know exactly what
the Spanish Commissioners are after
an offer of a large specified sum of
money, as recompense for cession OF
the Philippines, in place of the offer
to repay Spain an amount equal to
what it has spent for public improve
ments on the islands. They know al
SO that Spain really has no claim for
a dollar, because tits not in posses
sion of the Philippines, and could
not ever again be in possession OF
them, even if we should withdraw our
army and navy from them. Aguinal-
do now has a force that could easily |
whip any force that Spain could send
against him, and would do it, if the
Americans were not in the way.
Knowing this, any sum that President
may agree to pay Spain
will be the result of liberality of this
and not of any actual
right that Spain has to ask to be paid.
No new instructions have been sent
to our Commissioners, because none
are needed. They know exactly
what to do, and it will all end in the
Spanish Commissioners giving in and
to the treaty of peace upon
our terms, and the matter will be set
tied probably inside of ten days.

FRENCH WHEAT. The Department
of State has just been officially in
formed that the wheat crop OF France
this year is the largest and of the
best quality since 1874, the total pro-
duct being 37l,789,479,814 bushels.
which makes it certain that France
will buy none of this years American
crop. In this connection, it may be
we'll to call attention to the fact that
France is little bit jealous because
the United States makes the best
flour in the world. The French Min
lister of Agriculture now has two ex
