store They We're evidently on goo.l
terms with the clerk. After a few
moments conversation the latter ten
dered the young man a cigar from the
show case, over which they had been
talking. The recipient accepted it with
gratitude but suggested that the young
woman be offered cigar also. in
order that she should not feel offended
at being left out while the cigars were
being passed around. So the clerk
offered cigar to the young woman
who accepted it with a matter-of- fact

way, but still approving, and placed
the weed in the front of her dress, not
having that which man carries al
ways when dressed, to the number Of

of the store the cigar was transferred
to the youth. both enjoying the easy
manner in which it had been obtained.
The clerk didn't see the game.

yesterday afternoon Immediately after

of the discrimination of negotiations:

ers viii not affect the pU- pose Of the
American government. our govern
mcnt viii still assert precisely what it
has claimed. and it viii proceed to carry
these claims into execution. I do not
believe there will be any concessions on
the one hand-that is. from the Ameri-
can si6e-nor actual resistance on the
other-the Spanish. 1t Will simply re-
main for the American government TO
hold what it has proposed TO hold, for
il is now practically in possession, and
all that remains is 20 make this posses
sion an actual fact. While the Spanish
government declines to acquiesCe can
not irteryose an obstacle.
..One significant effect is that this ac-
ton now relieves this government of
the whole question of compensation for
the Philippines. This eTectuaIly wipes
out all obligation to make any payment
of moneys to the Spanish government
In some respects the rupture is OF dis
lilCI advantage 10 THIS government. 1t
relieves il OF the feeling OF obligation
TO take certain steps such as that OF
payment of the money contemplated,
and il is free to act now unhampered.
This government has al 70 gain: Spain
has all TO lose. Spain has signed the
protocol and is now bound by it to the
extent Of its provisions. We will pro-
coed to execute IL. Spain can offer no
material obstruction TO our plan of ex
ecution- Her troops already have eva
cuated Porto Rico and none are left on
