Spain's Proposals.

Spa1n s proposals.
According to the New York Worlds
advices from Paris Spain has consented
to do any one of these three things.
1. Spain will 1ehnquish sovereignty
over Cuba and cede Puerto Rico and the
other islands of the Spanish West Indies,
the whole OF the Ladrones and the whole
of the Philippine archipelago for $780,
OO0,000~
2. Spain will cede a strong island in
the Carolines, give the United States the
right to lay cables on any of these islands
or any of the Ladrones, also cede the
Philippine archipelago-excepting the
southernmost lslands--for $50, 100000.
8. Spain to relinquish sovereignty
over Cuba, cede the Philippines, Puerto
Rico and other West India islands and
Guam as indemnity for war expenses and
losses of American citizens, and the two
countries agree to submit to arbitration
what debts and obligations of a colonial
character are right to he assumed by the
receiving country.
The total cor,lage required 70: {. first
rate man of-war weighs about eighty
tons, and exceeds $4,000 in value.
Severe injuries to the body are seldom
very painful Il, first. The severity of the
nervous shock appears to paralizc the
nerve centre where consciousness of pain
is situated.
An experiment was recently made to
see how fast bee could fly. Its hive
was attached to the roof of train,
which attained speed of thirty miles
an hour before the bee was left behind.
1t should be Ole of the first duties of
the mother to train her children in court
eous manners. Too often this is consld-
cred quite secondary matter. Even
the rough diamond must oe polished be-
fore it becomes of practical value, and
Just in proportion as it takes polish does
1t increase in value. It is the manner of
people by which we are impressed even
more than by the face.
The decrease in the French pepula-
ton is a reasonable subject for alarm in
that country. From ITO to 1880 the
births per ten thousand of population
amounted to $50. That proportion has
steadily decreased IN each successful de-
cade until. in 1896 it stood at only 900.
The deaths on the other hand, continued
to increase. England doubles her popu-
lation in 63 years, France IN 3S4.
It is plain that the boy in the follow
ing story never had much acquaintance
with street car etiquette. A little girl
was standing one very cold morning in
one OF the poorer districts of Edinburg,
waiting amongst crowd Of other poor
to gain ad.nittance to poor
cllildren's feast, and she was quite Elue
with cold, when little ragged urchin,
but with the grace of q true gentleman,
took off his cap, and laying it at her tiny
feet, said, "Here lassie, stand on my cap
till the door opens"

ed celebrating the victory with bands and
a noisy demonstration, but Gen. Shafter
vetoed the proposition He said there was
no occasion TO humiliate the enemy who
had fought brayefy. Not even cheering
was permitted. Before Col Astor and
Capt. McKittick could warn the soldiers,
the latter broke out into wild hurrahs.

The British schooner f. p. Nickerson
was also among the arrivals. She WAS be-
Gained off Cape Cruz on June 30. when the
Hornet came alongside and informed her
commander that the vessel was prisoner.
There was no attempt at resistance

If the precedent of Manila is followed. in

appreciated that the conditions are quite

far to making Cuba free and placing the
Cubans in control. This condition may
lead to consideration of the expectancy
of allowing the Cubans themselves to es-
tablish an administration OF Santiago, thus
giving them an opportunity TO try ability
at directing civil affairs and also giving
them a foothold on the island. In that

ed. The authorities here are not disposed

question of general policy hinges on the
