WHAT PROTOCOL is.

Another word in connection with
the SpanishAmerican war with
which the average reader was not
much familiar and Of which we read
and hear Il great deal recently, Is
protocol. An exchange gives the
following:
Webster defines protocol a follows:
..1) The original copy of any writing,
as a deed, treaty. dispatch or other
instrument. (2) The minutes. or
rough draught. of an instrument or
transaction. G5) a preliminary
document upon the basis Of which
NEGOTIATIONS are carried on. A con-
vention not formally ratified. An
agreement Of diplomatists indicating
the results reached by them at Il
particular stage of negotiation.
The Standard Dictionary defines
the word as follows: "U The pre-
Gminarv sketch or draft of a treaty,
dispatch or other official document,
(2) A diplomatic document, minute
or agreement containing tn" Official
TccOTu, clllpoh y ms INV i'"'' ~ -
negotiation; declaration or memo
randum Of agreement less solemn or
formal than treaty; also sup
Elementary clause or declaration eN-
planning a treaty or extending ITS
scope or duration.
These definitions give an exact
idea of the process Of reaching
settlement between the United
States and Spain The protocol,
which the Spanish cabinet accepted
cmbodies statement of terms OF
peace proposed by the United States
and accepted by Spain. The two
Governments will now appoint com

not rest day or night, but had to lie
with my foot propped up to get any re-
lief from it. For twelve months life was

sons Remedy. bought one-half dozen
bottles OF the Bitters and three of the
Wash packages, and without any faith
in anything [ commenced its use, and
soon found it was doing me good, and
did not suffer so much pain. The leg
felt as if hot embers had been poured
upon it, but the application of the Wash
was so soothing and healing to the sore,
and my general health became so much
better that felt as if would be cured.
After using the one-half dozen bottles of
the Bitters and three packages of the
Wash, was nearly well, and again
bought the same quantity. and by the
time took the dozen bottles my leg was
entirely we'll. 1t has been nine years ago

The Southern Soldiers.
(CharlOtte ObServer.)

A few day ago the papers were 1uil
of talk about the cowardice OF New
York REGIMENT Now comes news
that Captain Biddlc, of the Fourth
Ohio Volunteers. is under arrest
upon the charge of cOwardice III the
face of the enemy. He was III charge
of skirmish line at Arroyo, in
Porto Rico, and when the Spanlards
opened fire, he gave an order to his
men to run for their lives, setting
the example by boiling to the rear
without delay. He was afterwards
found in a culvert. Biddlc tried to
fasten the responsibility for the
order upon newspaper correspond
ent but utterly failed.
Massachusetts appears to have
sent a bad lot of officers to the front,
according to report sent to NoE-
ernor Wolcott by General Miles. In
this report General Miles is severe
upon the officers. He says that at
the first fight at Guanice some OF the
officers ..lunked' and allowed their
troops to 90 into action without
them. one remaining on the tran
sport, saying that hc was I'm ''
others remaining in tents. 1t is SAID
that the document states that two
SURGEONS failed to discover anything
the matter with the officer on the
transport.
1t is pleasure to point to the fact
that no such charges have been or
can be brought against Southern
officers and men. Throughout the
entire war. their conduct was above
reproach and in every instance 1t was
marked by such conspicuous gal
lantry and bravery as to make them
safe and secure from any adverse
criticism. The splendid behavior OF
the Southcrners is something to be
proud of. They have cast no dis
credit upon the section which sent
them. but on the contrary have
added luster to the SouthS record
for valor.

Sampson and Sc;1ley.
philadelphia Ledgcr.)

President Mckinley has acted upon
the rewards to be be given the officers
Of the navy who participated in the
operations on the coast of Cuba, and
more particularly in the destruction
of Cervera's fleet. Both Sampson and
Schlev have been promoted to pe
Rear Admirals. but Sampson has been
promoted eight numbers and Schley
only six, so that whereas Schlev
ranked Sampson in the navy list be-
fore the war, Sampson is now adj
vanced ahead of Schley. In other
words, Schlev compared with Samp-
son has been degraded. The public,
fully informed as it is Of all the cir
cumstances of the case. will not APP
prove this action of the President.
Sampson was given every opportunity
by the Navy Department to dis
tingish himself and thus earn pro-
motion, but the fortunes of war were
against him. He was made an act
ing Rear Admiral, so that Schley, his
superior in rank, was made his subor-
dinate. We may assume that he did
his duty and did it we'll, but that can
be said of every officer OF the navy
including Schley. From the begin
ming fortune favored Schley, while
the Navy Department favored Samp-
son. 1t was Schley, not Sampson,
who caught Cervera in Santiago har-
Dor. and it was Schley. not Sampson,
who was in actual command of the
squadron when Cervcra undertook to
run the blockade and had his ships
destroyed. 1t also happened that
the Brooklyn. Commodore Schley
flagship, was in the best position fo1
engaging the Colon. and, in company
with the Oregon. ran her ashore and
| forced her to surrender.
