SPAIN accepted President
McKinley's terms and then pro-
ceededto give an elaborate presen-
tation of views. 1t was feared
that these openions ACCOMPANYING
the acceptance might lead to mis-
understandings and in order to
overcome this the administration
had a protocol drawn up on the
lines of terms offered, STIMULATING
with more preciseness some of
the terms. Spain was given until
Thursday night in which to sign
the protocol, and while the
official signing had not been an
nounced at this writing there is
every reason to believe that it

is given to gayety rather than to business
and such is the fact. The army of clerks
bent on recreation after Office hours here
find opportunities to be met with nowhere
else. The crowded with gay
equipages and dainty bicycles and the
sidewalks with throngs of pleasure seek
ers, present a spectacle worth a long
journey to witness. After dark the scene
is dazzling.
Official life is difficult to describe. The
President and his family rarely emerge
from the seclusion of the White House.
Cabinet Officials, while reserved, are to
be seen on the streets occasionally.
There are different grades of representa-
tives and senators varying from those
who patronize cheap boarding places to
those who live in style at the pretentious
hotels or in costly private dwellings.
Strange as it may seem a congressman's
influence is sometimes gagged by the
character of his boarding place. These
Legislators are petted by lobbyists and by
those seeking appointments. AS we
studied these solons from the visitors
galleries, we wondered how some of them
ever reached their high stations. Surely
the ways of Providence are sometimes
inscrutable. In all legislative bodies, a
few transact the business, but visit the
U. S. Congress to realize the full mean
ing of the remark. "They also serve who
only stand and wait" We were present
when the Senate voted or the admission
of Hawaii and noted the "cut and dried
manner in which the affair was managed
There are many other interesting phas'
es of life in Washington and numerou:
other points of interest, but time will moi
permit a description. In conclusion we
would advise all to visit the capital

WHEN it was learned Wednes-
day that the American forces had
attacked Malate on the 31st of
July there was great anxiety in
town about members of Co. K.
Malate is a point on Manila bay
a few miles south of Manila city.
The North Dakota troops do not
seem to have been engaged in this
first attack but it is believed that
they were engaged in a battle
which took place at Manila the
first days of this month. Our fore
es. as usual, won a glorious vic
tory at Malate.

DISCOVERED BY A WOMAN.


Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country: Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital or
gans were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed necessarily, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was SO much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz." Thus writes w. c. Ham

LATE Manila dispatches report
that Aguinaldo, leader of the in

tive regiments be formed under
American officers. He wants the
privilege of marching the native
troops through the streets of Ma

the Americans, all of which indi-
Gates that there are not the strained
relations between General Merritt
and Gen. Aguinaldo which have
been represented. The insurgents

IT is with regret that the coun-
try learns of the ill health of Capt.
Charles E. Clark, compelling his
retirement from the command of
the Oregon. Capt. Clark was sick
at the time he took so prominent
a part in the destruction of Ceve-
ra's fleet. 1t will be remembered
that Capt. Gridley of the Olym-
pia was i'll at the time of the Ma
Mia naval battle and died soon
after; but it is not believed that
Capt. Clark's condition is SO bad.
Both men acquitted themselves
with great honor in their respec-
tive battles, but at great cost to

The Literary Mystery Of the Century.

~
After eighty-one years evidence has
been discovered which throws entirely
new light on the mystery Of Napoleon's
autobiography. Apparently there have
been resting in America all these years
links which would have connected the
entire chain; but no one thought of cross
ing the Atlantic for them.
Never has text of document borne
mor indisputable proof of authenticity
upon its face than the memoirs Of Ma.
poleon now appearing in The Cosmopol-
itan. They carry the stamp of a mind
so large that no person of the period was
great enough to be seriously suspected
of having written them, although Madame
de Stael and others of the brightest wits
Of the day were in turn accused until,
when style and fitness were taken into
consideration, the absurdity of the charge
became evident.

Peace and Its Accomplishments.

Spain's acceptance of the peace
terms outlined by the President
ends the war and brings a large
accession to the territory, popula-
ton and resources of the United
States. This accession is immedi-
ate in the case of Porto Rico, of
all the other Spanish islands in
the West Indies except Cuba. of
one island in the Ladrones, and
of the City and Bay of Manila.
The accession is ultimate in the
case of Cuba and of all the. Philip
pines which are not placed direct.
ly in our hands. Spain at once
relinquishes authority over all the
territory here mentioned except
the Philippines outside of Manila
Bay and City. The fate of the
Philippines is to be determined
by a commission composed of an
equal number OF American and
Spanish members, but in which
American influence will be domi-
nant. In the language of the
terms sent by the President to
Spain, and which Spain has &C
copied, this commission shall,
with the exception of the City and
Bay of Manila. which IRE coded
to us definitely and permanently,
determine the control, DISPOSE
ton and government of the Phil
ippines." But wherever that com.
mission meets and whomso'
ever may constitute its member
ship, American desires will be
paramount in it..
Thus the grand outcome of the
war, so far as regards its territori.
al %accessions, is now known to the
country. The Philippines will b.
awarded to US by the joint com
mission of Americans and Span
iards. Cuba will come to u!
sooner or later, and probably
within a year, by the free voice o
its inhabitants. All the rest o
the territory which has been men
toned is to be coded to us direct
ly and Immediately by Spain
The case of Cuba will be simple
As soon as the Spanish troop
evacuate the island a pol
of all its male inhabitants-Span
iards. Americans, Englishmen
Germans, native Cubans and al
others who are entitled to vote
will be ordered by the America
Military Governor, and unde

voters will decide as to whethe
