Of matters requiring such course be-

The representative of tha Associated

highly important, and that the Ameri-

character tat the Spaniards found it
necessary to ask for an adjournment
in order to consult with the govern

that the whole situation does not war

Spaniards are quite ready to give

The treaty to be drawn by them, If
accepted by their respective govern
ments, will doubtless be known as the
treaty of Paris. Several~agreements
in settlement of international difficult
ties have borne the same title. One
of the most important of the treaties
was that of 1868, between Great Brit
ain on the n side, and France, Spain
and Portugal on the other. 1t involved
she cession of Havana to Spain. by
Great Britain, which had taken it in
the previous year. Thus, after the
lapse of a century and a third, Havana
is again at the disposal of a Paris
gathering of peacemakers.

There is no word more frequently in
the mouths of men than that of COLI
science. The word conscience properly
signifies that knowledge which a man
hath within himself of his own
thought and actions, by comparing
them with the law of God, his mind
will either approve Or condemn him,
according as he hath done good or evil;l
therefore this knowledge or conscience
may properly be called both an accus-
er and a judge. So that whenever u
conscience accuseth us, we are GER
tainly guilty; but we are not always
innocent when it doth not accuse US:
for very often through the hardness
of u hearts, or the fondness and IA
vor we bear ourselves, or through ig-
norance or neglect, we do not suffer
our conscience to take any cognizance
Of several sins we commit.

Ponce, Porto Rico, Oct. Sit is
the well grounded and almost unani-
nous opinion of the medical staff of
the American arnly in Porto Rico that
the condition Of the volunteer forces
here necessitates their removal north.
SickI css is increasing and has been in
creas:n.S Curing The past three weeks
at an alarming rate. Today the sick
report shows crer@1.G;sJ in hospitals or
in quarters out =: = t:tal command Of
10000 men; th:i !" ose.c rs per cent of
the troops are en- tic Sick list. This,
however does not mem that there is
an effective Strength. Of $500 men.
The soldiers discharged from the hos
pitfalls as fit for duty ace, in nine cases
out Of ten, incapable Of service and if
ordered On duty r almost invariably
back in the hospital within a few days.
The medical officers have found that
the convalescents do not and seem
ingly cannot recover their strength in
this climate, and for this reason they
are being sent North as rapidly as pos
sible. several hundred leaving every
week. Tomorrow over 500 will go on
the OLDHAM and the Relief.
1t is a significant fact that there is
a wide disparity between the sickness
in the volunteer and regular COM
mands. In the two regular infantry
regiments, the Nineteenth and the
Eleventh, the sickness averages only
about 10 per cent, white in the volun-
teer regiments. the Si.th Massachu-
sets, First New York engineers,
Fourth Ohio. Third Illinois. First Ken
lucky, Third Wisconsin and Sixteenth
Pennsylvania. it averages "a per cent.
In the last named two. where the con-
ditions are the west, the sick report
to-day shows a percentage of 46 in the
Sixteenth Pennsylvania and ~ in the
Third Wisconsin. Over half of these
two regiments. which, With the First
Kentucky, comprise Cen. Ernest's
brigade, are unfit for duty, and yester-
day when Gen. Ernest moved his head
quarters up to Abcnite. upon thu sa.il-
NIT of the mountain range. it was
found that it would be impossible for
the brigade to follow. The command
is PROSTATE where it is.
