OPENS AN ARGUMENT.
The Reply Spain Makes to the
Presidents Terms of
Peace.
CAMBoN PRESENTS THE DOCUMENT.
And He and the United States Ex-
ecutive Discuss II at Some
Length.

Washington. Aug. 10.-More than
twenty-four hours after it had begun to
reach Washington the Spanish note in
answer to the presidents peace condi-
lions was presented at the White House
by the French ambassador. What the
nature OF the answer was can only be
conjectured at this stage, the secretary
Of state, at the conclusion of the confer
ence, making the formal statement that
nothing whatever could be said on the
subject. The conference lasted an hour
and twenty-five minutes. This pro-
longed discussion was believed to indi-
cate that the Spanish answer was not
satisfactory in all respects, though in
just what points it fell short Of meeting
the expectations of the president it is
impossible to say. 1t was felt by the
observers that had the answer been a
complete acceptance Of our terms the
result would have been made public.
How the Situation Is Figured.
On the other hand 1t would be a strained
inference to conclude that the answer
was unsatisfactory entirely, for in that
case-according to the presidents state
ment heretofore made-his offer would
have been definitely withdrawn and the
war resumed with greater energy than
before. 1t would seem that there could
scarcely be a good reason In this case
for Withholding the result of the confer
ence. On the whole 1t Is rather to be
concluded that a mludle result was OBJ
tanned; that Spain was found to have
attached certain conditions to her ac-
ceptance Of the presidents terms, but
that the latter was not disposed to re-
gard the injection Of the new matter as
sufficient in itself to warrant an imme-
date termination of the peace negotia-
lions.
Another Guess at the Document
According to this view the president
has taken exception to some of the
Spanish conditions, but has allowed a
last opportunity for them to be with
drawn or modified. The reply of the
Spanish government is understood to be
a document embracing about 1,200words.
1t bears the signature of the Spanish
minister Of foreign affairs and is said to
be divided into five points or heads:
namely-Cuba, Porto Rico, Ladrone ISL
ands, occupation of Manila, and ap-
pointment of a commission, which are
treated in the order named. So far as
could be learned no mention is made Of
the Cuban debt The retention Of arms
and ammunition by the Spanish troops
comes in for indirect reference under
the head Of Cuba.

a very weake n ng malarial fever lasting
from four to six days, and which leaves
every man too much broken down to be

Withstand an epidemic of yellow fever.
For strong and healthy regiments

plenty Of tentage to cover them, and

Joy. Every woman Is not so situated that
she can be an interesting invalid, or rather,
an uninteresting invalid, for there never
was an interesting one.
The woman who suffers from weakness
and disease of the distinctly feminine or
gans is certain to become an invalid. No
woman can suffer in this way and be a
healthy. happy, amiable wife and compe-
tent mother Troubles of this nature sap
the strength, rack the nerves, paint lines
of suffering upon the face, destroy the tenn
per, make the once bright eyes dull and
the once active brain sluggish, and trans
form a vivacious woman into weak, sickly
invalid.
The one sure, speedy, permanent cure
for all disorders Of the distinctly feminine
nature is DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription.
1t acts directly on the delicate and import
ant organs concerned, and makes them
strong, healthy, vigorous and elastic. It
cures the internal liberation and infamma-
ton that give rise to facilitating drain on
the system. It is the best medicine for
overworked, rundown F" women.

Teak Tree. 1000 Year. Old.

The teak wood of Hlndoostan is al.
most indestructible. The tree reaches
a girth of from 10 to 10 feet and has O
clear trunk of 20 to so feet to the first
limb. The timber retains it's fragrance
to great age. 1t is wonderfully hard
wood. durable and strong. and once
seasoned does not split. crack, warp
shrink. or alter in shape. In certain
portions OF Burmah there is teak 1000
years old. 1t weighs 40 pounds per
cubic foot. Teak is used in India for
construction. bridge-making. sleepers
and furniture. II Is exported to Europe
chiefly for building railway carriages,
shipbuilding or making decks and
lower mosts and for the backing Of
armor-plates on ironclads. 1t is Pc
culiarly useful for the latter purpose,
owing to the resinous matter which II
contains and which acts as a preven.
tive Of rust. the wood neither affecting
the iron nor being affected by 1t.

THE MAN WHO COOKS THE GRUB

We have read In song and story
Of 1.-The man behind the gum"
He Is given all the glory
or the battles that are won;
They are filling up the papers
With his apotheosis,
And they tell about his capers
While the shells above him hiss,
But behind the grimy gunner,
Steadfast through the wild hubbub,
Stands greatt< god of battles
lis the man who cooks the grub.
When the sky ia rent with thunder
And the shell screams through the air,
When some fort Is rent asunder
And Destruction revels there,
When the men In line 20 rushing
On to glory or to woe
With the maddened charges crushing
Heroes who are lying low,
There is one but for whose labors
There could be no wild hubbub,
And the greatest god of battles
Is the man who cooks the grub.
What OF ships with armor plating2
What OF castles on the heights2
What of anxious captains waiting
While the careful gunner sights?
What OF all the long-range rifles?
What OF men with valiant hearts?
These were but impotent trifes.
But inconsequential parts
Ot the whole, without the fellow
Who must scour. scrape and scrub
For the greatest god OF battles
Is the man who cooks the grub.

The practice of cleaning machinery
by means Of blotting paper has been
established in German workshops. The
German workman formerly received on
an average 250 grams of cotton waste.
one new sponge cloth and one or two
renovated ones per week; now he is
supplied with $50 grams OF cotton
waste and eight to ten sheets OF blot
ting paper, at cost Of 2k cents, in
stead Of as formerly. 6A cents. The
paper is not only cheaper but 1t can
not soil the machine with fibers and
dust, like sponge cloth and wooden ref
use, and It is far preferable to cotton
waste. Beyond this. It is not so COM
bustible as other cleaning materials.
