spANIsH.AMERICAN NOTES.

A presidential election for the social.
ed republic of Cuba will be held next
month.
Aguinaldo is said to have liberated
all the Spanish prisoners, whom he has
been holding.
1t is stated at the War Department
that no more volunteers will be muster
ed out of service other than those al
ready designated.
Brigades of the Cuban army are dis
banding, as the insurgents have lost
hope that the United States governmeL
will give them back pay.
1t is stated in Madrid that General
Merritt goes to Paris empowered to ask
in the name of the insurgents an Amer
lean protectorate over the Philippines
There has been an uprising OF natives
of the Caroline Islands, and it is con-
sidered likely that by this time they
may have overcome the Spanish garri
son there.
In army circles in Washington it is
said that an investigation by COM
mission composed of civilians would
probably be failure, as army officers
will not testify unless it is compulsory,
and the commission cannot compel tes-
timony.
Instructions have been sent to AID.
miral Dewey and Major General Otis,
commanding the American naval and
military forces at Manila, to compel
the Philippine insurgents TO respect the
armistice between the United States
and Spain.
An unverifed report is in circula'
ton at Santiago that Gen. Maxine Co.
mez has resigned as COMMANDMENTS
chief of the Cuban army. Gomez, it
appears, has been protesting against
the Cuban government yielding con-
troll of the islands affairs to the Amer
leans.
The Spanish Senate again discussed
war subjects yesterday and had an up
roarous session. The Chamber of Dep
uties adopted the peace protocol, which
had been previously adopted by the
Senate. The vote on the bill sanction
ing the signing of the peace protocol
was 151 to As The government has de-
cided to suspend the session of the
Cortes to prevent repetition of the vi
olent scenes that have occurred in the
senate.
A meeting of the cabinet was held in
Washington yesterday to formulate the
letter of instructions to the peace COM
missioners and 10 set forth the demands
of this government in regard to the
Philippines No decision was reached,
though majority of the cabinet is in
favor of retaining the entire group.
The President does not, it is said, want
to retain the islands. The limit to
which he is willing to go, it is under.
stood, is the retention of the city and
harbor of Manila. The letter of in.
structions for peace commissioners is
being prepared.

ly to promote men who have
helped to defeat the democra-
cy. The effect of this course is
to consign the party in Maryland to a
long exclusion from power. Our friends
cannot regain power from them by
pandering to the followers of Cleveland
If the managers aud leaders of the
Maryland democracy have hope OF
carving the rank and file of the party
into the policy of abandoning demo-
cratic principles and antagonizing the
democracy of the South and West and
the middle States, they will be signally
disappointed. They will discover their
mistake when it is too late. The path
of courage and honesty is the only
road that will conduct them 10 victory.
In this hour, the people must speak
out and they should suffer no machine
TO put them in false position. Be-
tween victory even by avowed repub-
licans and one by machine that sup
presses aud houts the democratic plat
form, there is very little choice.

sat in the case in the Circuit Court and
five different judges of the Supreme
Court have rendered opinions in the

times affirming the lower court. The
fees OF officers of the court from start to

Deafness Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion Of the ear. There is only
one way TO cure deafness, ard that is By con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused By
an infamed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tuoe. When this tube Is
inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammatioR can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Cstarrh, which is nothing but
an inhamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.

As THE government anticipates the
necessity for the use OF one hundred
and fifty thousand men in its newly
conquered provinces, it has determined
tnat no more of the quarter of million
it engaged for the Spanish war shall be
mustered out at present. The fact that
hundred and fifty thousand soldiers
will be required to make the oppressed
patriots" behave themselves, when the
alleged oppression to which they have
been subjected by the "tyrannous''
Spaniards has been removed, is sug-
gestive of the other fact, that the patri-
OTIS referred to are not exactly what
they would have other people believe
thew are.

LOUDOUN COUNTY.

The September term of the Loudoun
County Court began in Leesburg on
Monday and there was quite good
crowd in attendance. More land was
sold at public auction than at any
court for several years and the prices
brought were in almost every instance
considered fair. No less than five
pieces of property, some being farms OF
several hundred acres, were sold, and
the top price was for tract of 81
acres, situated about two miles south
of Leesburg, which went for $3.50 per
acre aud was purchased by Mr.. Will
liam Hawking. The contract for the
erection Of two new bridges to be erect
ed by the county were let Monday
The Virginia Bridge and Iron Company OF
Roanoke vas the successful bidder in both
cases, its bid being $767S so for one and
$S47 for the other. These bids were for the
superstructure only. The masonry contract
was awarded to Mr.. j. T. Moran, Of Loudoun
county, for so much rod. The total cost OF
the two bridges will be about $1,000, ami
they are to be finished by January 1.

COTTON.
New York, Dec. 2S.-The market for
cotton futures was firmer, but not ac-
tive today: Liverpool cables were par
ticularly inactive. The spot sales in
the English market reached only 1000
bales, which was a disappointment, but
the Liverpool future list at least held
its own and consequent covering here
caused better average of prices at the
opening. The first call started at un-
changed prices and finished to
points higher Prices promptly improved
several several points further, but specu-
lation failed to come into the market as
looked for and realizing turned the mar
ket easier. Later the market turned
steadier on indications of small receipts
tomorrow Shorts covered and prices
advanced to n level showing an inn
provement of ) to 6 points. 1t was
scarcely more than a local market at
any time during the session. The bears
had the advantage of favorable weather
for field work and marketing cotton; but
this feature was more than offset by
fears of decrease in the movement.
The near approach of the holidays was
another drawback to business. Very
few traders We're disposed 10 open new
accounts with the markets in this coun-
try to be closed Sunday and Monday.
In the afternoon trading was quite
slack, with the tone finally firm at a
net gain of 3 90 points, having made
n sharp rise at the close on squirt
of covering.
