THANKSGIVING DAY.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The Presi-
dent, after the cabinet meeting yester-
day, issued the following Thankcgiv-
ing proclamation:
BY the President of the United
States-A proclamation:
The approaching November brings
to mind the customs of our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted in our
most sacred traditions of giving
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings He has vouchsafed to us dur
ing the past year.
Few years in our history have af-
forded such cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce have
been wonderfully increased, our public
credit has been improved and
strengthened, all sections of our COM
mon country have been brought to-
gether and knitted into closer bonds
of national purpose and unity.
The skies have been for time dark
ened by cloud Of war, but as we were
compelled to take up the sword in the
cause of humanity, we are permitted
to rejoice that the conflict has been
of brief duration and the
losses we have had to mourn,
though grievous and important, have
been so few, considering the great re-
suits accomplished, as to inspire us
with gratitude and praise to the Lord
of Hosts. We may laud and magnify
His holy name that the cessation OF
hostilities came so soon as to spare
both sides the countless sorrows and
disasters that attend protracted war.
do, therefore, invite all my fellow
citizens, as well those at home as those
who may be at sea or sojourning in
foreign lands, to set apart and OBJ
serve Thursday, the Gath day OF
November, as day of national
thanksgiving, to come together in
their several places of worship for
service of praise and thanks to AL.
mighty God for all the blessings of the
year; for the mildness of the seasons
and the fruitfulness of the SOIL for the
continued pr osperity of the people,
for the devotion and valor Of
our countrymen, for the glory
of our victory and the hope of a
righteous peace, and to pray that the
Divine guidance which has brought us
heretofore to safety and honor may be
graciously continued in the years tc
come.-William Mckinley. In wit
ness whereof, etc., by the President.
John Hay, Secretary of State.

I We WILL KEEP THE ISLANDS.
Little or No Doubt That Spain Must
Give Up the Philippines.
TO DEMAND ENTIRE GROUP.
Spain Agrees to the American Demand
Not to Accept Any of Cuba's General
Debt and RelinquIshes Sovereignty I'm
conditionally as Specified in Protocol.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Secretary of
State Hay said yesterday that the Gu
ban question had not yet, as he under
stood it, been finally decided by the
Paris commission, but complete set
Element, it was expected would be
reached by the end of the present week.
The Philippine question, he thought,
would be taken up by the joint COM
mission early in the coming week.
Although the members of the cabi-
net are extremely reticent on the sub
iect of the acquision of the Philippines,
there is now little or no doubt that
nothing less than the cession Of the
entire group of islands will be accept
ed by the American commissioners.
The recent action of the United
States government in intimating that
the negotiations were proceeding much
too slowly has had it's effect upon the
Spanish commissioners, and they are
not likely to debate remaining propo-
sitions to the length they did the set
Element of the Cuban debt.
The United States has not assured
nor guaranteed the so-called municipal
debt of Cuba or Cuban municipalities,
but it is expected that such debts will
be paid by the municipalities incur
ring them, for by no reasoning could
they be charged upon Spain. Our
government, it is said in official cir
cles, would look upon any attempt at
evading the payment of such debts as
Reputation, and whatever government
is established in Cuba will be expected
to see that these obligations are car
ried out in good faith. Moreover,
some of the bonds of Cuban municip-
alities are held by citizens of the
United States and the United States
might insist that the investments OF
her citizens in such securities are made
good. The state department has nc
information as to the amount of their
municipal liabilities.
PARIS, Oct. 2S.-The Spanish peace
commissioners have accepted the neg
alive view of the United States com
missioners toward the proposed as
sumption by the United States of the
Cuban debt.
The American commissioners have
firmly but courteously declined to as
sumo for the United States the entire
or joint responsibility for the Spanish
financial conditions, and the Spanish
commissioners have finally abandoned
the effort and have agreed that the
Cuban article of the protocol shall
without conditions, have place in the
ultimate treaty of peace.
Thus Spain agrees to relinquish SOW
eighty over and claim to Cuba without
either terms or conditions.
All differences, if any existed, re-
garding Porto Rico and the selection
of the island of Guam were also ar
ranged by mutual understanding
and the commissioners found them
selves we'll nigh touching the Philip
pine question, which will be taken VI

AFTERMATH OF THE RAID.
Jamesons Men Can Collect Damages
from the Government.

Jameson's Men Can Collect Damages
from the Government.
The Jameson case came into the law
courts on the civil side in the form
of an action for damages by one OF
DR.. Jamesons' troopers, says the Lon
don News. The trooper sought COM
pensation for the loss and inconvenl-
ence to which he had been subjected
by the false representations of the de-
PENDANTS, "the British South African
company, DR.. Jameson and the Right
Hon. Cecil Rhodes" All these powers
or persons had assured him that they
were engaged in perfectly Lawful
purpose when they marched him 10
Pitsani. They were not. They aggra-
waited their ofRense by inducing MIN
to push on toward Johannesburg on
the plea that his services were urgent
ly required there for the protection OIL
certain women and children. There
was no possible defense and the de-
PENDANTS came into court with the
white flag of verdict by consent Tor
$500. This will indemnify the trooper
for his loss of kit, loss of health, loss
of liberty-he was imprisoned-and
loss of pay. On the whole he mas
done pretty well by the raid. His sue
cess will probably serve to encourage
the OIL rs who were victims of the
same misrepresentation. The laureate
for instance might have ground LOT
action in the false pretenses under
which he wrote his ode. In it's dry
technicalities of legal phrasing the
statement of claim offers a wholesome
corrective Of that impassioned out
burst. Thus the deceived trooper:
"On or about the 31st December, 1898,
the said forces Of the defendant COM
pany in which the plaintiff was serv-
ing were assembled at Pitsani, under
the control of the defendant Jameson,
acting on behalf of the defendants, and
at the time and place last mentioned,
the defendants, for the purpose Of the
said invasion, and in order to induce
the plaintiff to take part therein and
to enter the territory Of the said re-
public as a member Of the defendant
company's said forces, fraudulently
represented to the plaintiff that light
ing was about to commence in or near
johannesburg and that protection was
needed for the women and children
there"
Compare with the still more grossly
deceived poet:
There are girls in the gold-reef city,
There are mothers and children, too!
And they cry, Hurry up! for pity!'
So what can brave man do?"
But the poet has, perhaps, to some
extent, put himself out of court, by
this:
Let lawyers and statesmen addls
Their pates over points of law"
On the whole, the honors are with
the solicitor, both as to the results and
as to the adequacy Of his literary
treatment of the theme. The raid has
never cut such poor figure as it does

Microbes for Toothache.

A German dentist named DR.. Herr
has made a most valuable discovery,
which is likely to prove beneficial to
vast numbers of persons. 1t consists In
an inoculant prepared from microbes
he cultivates for the purpose. When
applied in the case Of decayed tooth
it stops the pain. but does not destroy
the nerve; further, it again fixes the
tooth and makes it possible to put in
a lasting stopping. He has already
treated a number of cases with it, and
they have proved most successful.
