published q volume containing the re-
suits OF archaeological Investigations

upon the inquiry rs TO what was the

tions have inclined him to locate the

where In the Kansas valley, In the
region OF the Big Blue, Republican

Gus ancient aboriginal villages are
shown on O map. and one, which Mr..
Brewer has called the Elliot village

indicating the seat Of empire Of very
numerous inhabitants. The remains
are extensive and arc particularly dc.
scribed. The subject Of these explora-
tions was brought to the attention OF

LONDON, Aug. s.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail telegraph
ing Sunday says:
THE answer of the Spanish govern.
ment declares that Spain can not dis.
cuss the American proposals but only
accepts them, because they are i'm.
posed on her by force. Only few un-
essential changes in the American e.
mands were asked for and it is not ex-
pected that President Mckinley will
refuse them.
"A commission composed of Span.
iards and Americans will decide the
question of the Gu ban debt, the dates
and manner of evacua ting Cuba and
Porto Rico and the protection of Span.
iards and Spanish interests in these
places. The commissioners will also
decide whether Spain is to be allowed
to withdraw her artillery and the re.
mainder of her arms and ammunition
from the colonies, while the question
of the future Of the Philippines will
be settled by the same body.
Treaty will be signed subject to
approval by the cortes, which will be

John, sharply.
The sound of a bugle could be heard
in advance of them. The three prison
ers looked at one another in dismay, for
doubtless the approaching men were
redcoats, and their coming meant the
downfall of adj their hopes. Faust, too,
had heard the sound, and realized that
he was in no fit condition to be seen by
any of his superior officers.
