Another very sad drowning accident
occurred this morning when Charles,
the young son of Constable and Mrs.
William II. Buchanan was drowned in
Stephens branch. This is the second
Barre boy who has been drowned this
season.
The story, as told n reporter this
morning, was that Charles buchanan
left his home on Third Street this morn
inc at about $50. He played while
with Willie Milne, Raymond Poulam,
Willie and Sydney Gibson, after which
the boys proposed that they 90 to the
river and 90 in wadcin@. This they
agreed to do and all five went to Steph-
ems branch Just below the dam OF
Smith, Whitcomb q Cook.
They had been there but a short
time when young Buchanan proposed
that the crowd 90 in swimming, but the
others refused. Young Buchanan there
upon removed his clothing and went in
to the water.
After being in the water a few min
utes, he stepped out on the roots OF
tree near the shore and gave a leap in
to the water He could not swim. AS
he did not come to the surface, his COM
panions became alarmed and cried for
help. Their cries attracted the atten-
ton of w. $. Brink and W. II. Sulham,
who happened to be a short distance
away. They leapcd into the water
which was about SIX and half feet deep
and Immediately found the body. tie

the water too long a period, he was be-

to acccde to our demands in the end.
In regard to Porto Rico the Madrid
correspondent of the London Mail says
that the Spanish government will COM
bat to the last against cession of
Porto Rico to the United States, contend
ing that the island has always been loyal
and should have no part in war for
the ostensible purpose Of Cuban indie
pendence.
The feeling is that Spain will consid-
er our terms harsh and unjust and even
amongst the strongest advocates of
peace measures at Madrid the sentiment
is strong against submitting to anything
more than the cession of Cuba and the
possible granting Of one or two coaling
stations.
These expressions, however, may be
calculated to lend an influence to the
stringency of the terms laid down by
Iuc OnlIcu ClhtcS.
1t is plainly evident that Spain is quite
willing and indeed eager to bring hos.
tiiities to an end and all the diplomatic
ability of both nations will be brought
into play to effect settlement.
The news of the victory at Porto Rico
yesterday may have some bearing upon
the result, and the progress of the Am
erican army in that quarter may at any
moment turn the tide and Spain may be
forced to consider it advisable to accept
any terms, no matter how harsh
On the other hand it is almost certain
that the ultimatum of the United States
will be stringent and no detraction<
will be made from the demand.
