WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 10, 1888

The Spanish peace commissioners pre-
sented a voluminous reply to the latest
American note, further denying the right
of the commission acting under the pro-
tocol, to determine the sovereignty of the
Philippines and proposing to submit to neu-
trail arbitration the meaning of that instru-
ment. The evacuation commission in Cuba
formally agreed that Spain should give
over the government of the island by Janu
airy l, whether all her troops should be
withdrawn by that date or not. Rioting
occurred in Havana and other cities in
Cuba, owing to the dissatisfaction of the
Spanish soldiers, regular and volunteer on
account of non-payment of salaries Gen
CaliXto Garcia arrived at Havana with
other members of the Cuban commission
headed for Washington for consultation
with President Mckinley. AS a result of
reports to the effect that the former Span
ish cruiser Maria Teresa grounded on Cat
Island, in the British West Indies was be-
yond repair, the government decided to
abandon the wreck; it was decided to hold
court of inquiry into the circumstances
or her abandonment at sea- The race
situation at Wilmington n C. was uuieter
than for weeks; radical expressions were
uttered at mass meeting of negroes and
their friends in New York city, favoring a

Foreign Affairs.
Emperor Williams projected stopping at
Spanish ports on his way to Germany was
abandoned. The tension in the Anglo
French troubles was again increased by a
speech by Joseph Chamberlain, who de-
clared that France had been perpetrating
a series of unfriendly acts. Major Mar
chand started from Cairo for Fashoia to
superintend the withdrawal of his force to
a French harbor on the Gulf of Alden.
Rumors af1oat in Paris that Captain Drew
fus had died on Devils Island were put at
rest by the action of the French govern
ment taking steps to secure his statement
of his case for presentation to the court of
cessation on the revision; it was reported
that owing to the expense of cabling Drew
fus would ultimately be removed to Paris
to be personally present on his trial. 1t
was reported from Pekin that Lii Hung
Chang had been ordered to an uninportant
post of the frontier thereby removing him

UNDER CONDITIONS.
Matter of Permits for Erection of
Bill Boards.

Replying to an inquiry Of the L. Moxley
Advertising Service as to whether II is nee
essary to obtain a permit to place bill
boards on buildings II the boards project
beyond the building; the District Commits
sioners state that permission will be grant
ed upon application to the building in
spector under certain conditions.
The inquiry was first referred to the in
spector of buildings, who reported to the
Commissioners that often managers and
advance agents, regardless of the city regu-
lations, have placed posters and signs on
all available places outside of the building
line. such as temporary sheds for building
materials, scaffolds, barricades, awning
frames and projections on buildings, there

streets in violation of the order of the
Commissioners, passed March II, 1895.
I'm many cases. stated the inspector
where builders are authorized to erect
sheds or barricades to protect materials or
prevent accident, the unlicensed agents Of
theatrical companies attach signs to such
structures. Section of the police regula-
with the limited number of inspectors it is
impossible to restrict or prevent the unlaw-
full placing of signs outside the building
line, unless assisted by the police. There
is another practice which is not I'm accord
ance with public safety, that has resulted
from the indiscriminate method of bill post
ing, such as boarding up the fronts of va
cant houses, thereby closing all means of
entrance or exit and Fastening the decay
and danger from fire. In a recent case a
house so boarded up nearly collapsed be-
fore the defects were discovered and the
house condemned and ordered to be torn
down.
In this connection the Commissioners
have approved a recommendation of the
building inspector that the police be direct
ed to cooperate in requiring permits for
all signs and advertising posters, so that
the business may be restricted and kept
within the charge of responsible parties.
who may be held accountable for unlawful
use of structures outside of .he building

Only One Death.

The adjutant general received a cable
message this morning from Gen. Otis, COM
manding at Manila, saying that the only
death since last report was that of Private
Jay A. Smith of Company G, 1st South Da-
kota Regiment, from apoplaxy. following
malarial fever.
The officials CT the department say that
this report showing such small death
rate among so many soldiers in a strange
land Is extremely gratifying and indicates
improved sanitary conditions in Manila 1t
is considered remarkable that there should
have been but one death among over 10000
troops within the past ten days.

GOOD WILL FOR GREAT BRITAIN.
A Member of Parliament Talks With
President Mckinley.


Among callers upon the President Fri
day night were Senator Proctor of Yer
mont and Harry Foster. who represents
the district Of North Suffolk in the paria-
ment Of Great Britain. Mr.. Foster, &C
companied by Senator Proctor arrived from
New York. He has been in this country
and Canada about month, and came to
this city to see the President, whom he de-
sired to meet before his return to England.
Speaking of his call upon President McKin-
ley, Mr.. Foster said:
1.-The American people must be. they
have ample reason to be, proud of their
President. He is one of the most delightful
men / ever met. Quite naturally what
impressed me most strongly was his cor
dial good will toward Great Britain. In the
course of the interview, alluding to the re-
suits of the Spanish war, he said to him
the most remarkable result was the won
derful expression of feeling among the peo-
pie Of the United States-feeling which was
quite as notable in the west as in the east.
When 1 asked him to what he referred, his
words were:
The deep affection for the mother
country
Fruitful for Good Causes.
Mr.. Mckinley then went on to say that
he thought the feelings of the two peoples
would be fruitful for the cause of humanity
and civilization, and that the cooperation
of the two countries did not depend upon
paper treaties or written obligations, but
upon much deeper and more lasting basis
He said that. of course, we had had our
family jars in the past, but that neither
country had believed in the proba biity OF
an armed contest between u.s. This, he
thought, was best evidenced by the fact
that We never were both angry at the same
time. If the American people showed signs
of irritation the English people were sober,
and If England seemed guided for the mo-
ment by a want Of reason the Americans
were calm and collected"
Mr.. Foster may remain in Washington for
a day or two, but he expects before the
close of the month to return home

The Presidents New Flag.

The new official flag of the Presi-
dent OF the United States is printed,
for the first time correctly, on the
cover OF the July Ladies' Home Jour-
nal. The flag was recently adopted as
the Presidents emblem, and hence
forth will be employed to proclaim his
official presence. When he is at the
White House the flag will be displayed
there, and wherever he may go as Pres
ldent of the United States it will be in
evidence. It's publication in accurate
color detail will be matter OF much
interest, inasmuoh as it will acquaint
the public with the Presidents en-
blem.

War Will be Carried to Spain.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The admin
istration today finally came to de
cisiOn to send an American squadron
to the Spanish coast and into the
Mediterranean. Several times since
the war broke out rumors to this effect
have been circulated, but the project
had not materialized it required the
Spanish movement toward the Philip
pines by Camara's squadron to deter
mine the navy department to adopt
this bold stroke.
This first announcement today
through bulletin posted at the war
department of the governments in
tention was received with incrCd ;.ity.
There was suspicion that the story
was foated to deceive the Spanish
government. However, when, later i'll
the day, the detail of the vessels select
ed to constitute Commodore John {.
Watson's Eastern squadron was an
nounced and official orders were given
to provision the fleet for four months,
it became apparent that the govern
ment was in earnest. The vessels de-
tailed to the Eastern squadron include
the Oregon, Iowa, Newark, Yankee
Dixie, Yosemite, and three Golfers.

Forest Reserves Continue.

A dispatch from Washington states
that in the partial a. reement on the
sundry civil bill in congress, the pro-
visions inserted by the senate for the
suspension Of the executive order OF
February 18th, 1897, creating immense
forest reservations in Washington and
other Northwestern states, was strick-
en- out by the conferees, thus continu-
ing the existence of the reserves, which
will greatly retard the development in
their neighborhood.
In discussing She matter the Taco
ma Ledger says: eff the enthusiasts
in the East who have taken such an
interest in this matter, without prop
er investigation, would use half the
effort to restrict the flow of water in
these streams which are fed from
mountain glaciers and are, therefore
no more affected by the cutting of
timber than the American people are
by the war bulletins from Madrid, they
would do much better service for the
people of Western Washington. They
should restrict the flow Of these rivers,
which are wont to exceed their banks,
rather than restrict the development
of millions of acres of this state-in
some cases almost entire counties be-
ing wiped off the map"
"Our people must submit for the
present, and try it again in the next
Congress.
Meantime every corporate body and
public spirited citizen in Western
Washington should work together in
putting before the president the facts
in the case, that radical modification
may be secured to lessen the evil eff
fects of the pernicious order until it
can be entirely rescinded."

The Spanish Apaches.

The initial fight Of Col. Woods
rough riders and the troopers Of the
First and Tenth regular cavalry will
be known in history as the battle OF
La Quaslna. That it did not end IN
the complete slaughter OF the Amerl-
cans was not due to any miscalcula-
ton in the plans of the Spanish, for
as perfect an ambuscade as was ever
formed in the brain of an Apache In
dian was prepared and Lieut.-Col.
Roosevelt and his men walked squarely
into it,
For an hour and half they held
their ground under perfect storm of
bullets from the front and sides and
then Col. Wood at the right and Col.
Roosevelt at the left, led charge
which turned the tide of the battle
and sent the enemy flying over the
hills toward Santiago.
1t is now definitely known that
fifteen men on the American side were
killed, while sixty were wounded or
reported to be missing. 1t is impossl-
BILE to calculate the Spanish losses but
it is known that they were far heavier
than those of the Americans, at least
as regards actual loss of life. Already
thirty-seven dead Spanish soldiers
have been found and buried, while
many others were undoubtedly lying
in the thick underbrush. The wound
ed were all removed.

Some Fusion ECONOMY.

The Aberdeen Herald published last
week communication from John A.
Gilkey, which makes some peculiar
statements. But he saws: owe ask
for the fullest investigation" and
"that the facts are easy to prove" We
hope they are, for they will have to be
proven.
In one paragraph he says: "The APP
preparation bill for state expenses and
state institutions was $14S, 338.S "a less
than the appropriation bill of 1895"
So the appropriations were $14S,0
81 less? Now the Fusion administra-
ton is entitled to credit Tor this. We
hope the people OF the state will give
it full credit. If there is any honor in
the methods of saving the Fusionists
should have it.
This is the way the money was
saved. They saved $4,000 by de-
strOying the National Guard of the
state; they saved $37 800 by destroy
ing the Whatcom Normal school; they
saved $4,000 by destroying the Che
ney Normal school; they saved So, 800
in appropriations for the state Uni
versity; which has been so discredited
that the attendance has fallen from
400 to ITO; and they saved $1,000 in
appropriations for the School for De-
fective youth. They appropriated Sill
100 less for the Western Insane Asv-
lum 81 100 less for the Eastern Insane
Asylum, and the management has
disgraced the state. These savings,
amount to $14O, 23O and if the Fusion
party wants to go before the people
and brag about it, they are welcome.
