To a correspondent of the Associated
Press he said:
'sThe enemy surrendered all the terri
tory and troops east OF Santiago. The
terms were dictated from Washington.
The negotiations which eliminated IN the
surrender of General TOrul had been
dragging along for ten days, with an IN
tcrmission of Sunday and Monday, when

ENGLAND's SERVICE TO AMERICA
How She Prevented Coalition Of Euro
pean Powers Against Us.

New York. July i5.-The London cor
respondent of the Tribune under date OF
July says:
There Is a solid basis OF self-interest
underneath the good feeling existing be-
tween England and America. Each coun-
try while Indirectly helping the other.
promotes directly its own interests and
policies. This is the elementary fact
which explains the rapid development OF
frieno.y relations between the two coun-
tries since the settling OF the war cloud
over Cuba.
They have been acting together In an
amlcable spirit and at every turn Of af-
fairs experience has proved that close
association was mutually advantageous.
Good feeling steadily increases when on
each side the practical benefits Of mu-
tual good will are everywhere apparent.
The first great service which England
rendered 70 America was that Of thwart-
ing a European combination for friendly
mediation between Spain and the United
States. The real object of the continental
powers was TO establish a European con-
cert respecting Cuba, by which the Mon
roe doctrine would have been upset. Aus
tria- Hungary initiated the intrigue, and
France supported it. carrying Russia with
her: Germany assented to ii, with the
proviso that the cooperation Of England
should be secured. and Italy would not
have remained outside the concert II 1t
had been formed.
The plot failed because Great Britain,
owing largely to the good Judgment OF
Mr.. Arthur Balfour and Sir Julian
lPauncefote, declined to take part In a
coalition which might be embarrassing to
the washington government.

Washington, July l5,-After an extend

ards at Santiago are prepared to surreh-

Secretary Alger was asked If 1t was
not the expectation that when
1t was known that no other terms
would be granted the surrender
would take place and replied that
such was the case In any event no
other concession would be afforded by
this government. II was nearly l O'CLOCK
when the conference at the White House
adjourned.
Secretary Alger did not say how mu'i
time would be allowed the enemy 10

Americans will make it very short anu

A NEW HEREDITARY TRAIT
Divorce Defense Runs in Fam
 iIy.

A coincidence occupies the last two entered pages of the register of civil actions in the office of the district clerk On the first there is an action for divorce by Andrew Kozik against Rosie Kozik on the ground of adultery. The next page is filled with an applica- tion by Charles J. Beauvais for a di- force from his wife, Mary J. Beauvais, -eH the ground Of incompatibility. The coincidence lies in the fact that the last named defendant is the mother of Ms. Kozik, the first defendant. Mrs. Beauvais was divorced from her hus- band once before, all of which proves what nobody ever suspected before, that defense of a divorce suit is as hereditary as any other mental or physical peculiarity, like red hair or a Roman nose. The term, 'inco mpat- ibility" in MT. Beauvais' petition means that his wife thinks she can tell fortunes by msans of cards and that she is continuously experimenting on him. She makes him represent the knave in the pack, which she shuf1es around so that he is brought in juxta- position with either a black CT a red queen. This forms basis for an ac- cusation of infidelity and the ether party to the Jason disclosed by the cards is naturally either a brunette or a blonde The plaintiff has grown weary of these occult discoveries and has sought the relief of the court The fortune telling peculiarity is not men toned in the complaint. That much is known ex-cathedra.

DlSGRACEFUL EPISODE
A Shameless noiher Takes Her Baby
 on Q Drunk.

There was proceeding in police court yesterday aftetnoon calculated d to reveal the depths to which woman may go.
 A woman whom the police merci- fully called Jane Doe, but who said her name was Annie Lehigh, and it was neither, had slept in the jail the night before with her 4-year-old baby girl She is the proprietress or care taker of a we'll known and respectable lodging house She used to be respect able and is yet hard working and hon. est when she is sober. She was led astray from her husband by a man whose residence is the most of the time in the block, and where the po- lice say he is trying to drag her. The man is Fayette Morrell. Everybody knows him. The police have been watching this pair for some time. They would have arrested them but for the shame it would bring on the little girl. On Wednesday night the man and woman were out again and had the little girl with them. They were sloppy" The police decided that it would be less shameful to the baby to arrest her unnatural mother than to let her go cn. They first decided to take Morrell, who had gone into sa- loon. He resisted and while the police were dragging him out the woman nearly kicked the dcor down trying to break into his assistance. She fought furiously On the sidewalk and struck an officer in the face. The pair was at las. bundled into cab and taken to the station. The little girl, a bright litrle thing, talked with one cf the officers there. She said: Mamma and Fayette drunk beer an whisky and got drunk They wanted me to drink some, but didn't drink ncthin' but soda pop" She told about hay ing been with the pair in the back room of a saloon
 The woman was tried yesterday morning and fined s10. Morrell was brought out late yesterday afternoon. He made To defense and was fined s20 Recorder Jobs talked to him with se- verity and strong feeling. He told him that the heaviest part of the fine was imposed because he had taken the little girl with him on the drunk, and threa ened that a recurrence of ths offense would be visited with the g. verest penalty possible.
 All the time the woman, now pre- sumat1y sober. but as shameless as ths night before, was sitting on bench

 nances.

Uri Mayer, who is Swiss, but was mistaken for a German, and had never before in his life made a bad break, was before the recorder yesterday af- ternoon on a double charge of drunken ness and peace disturbarce. The latter onense consisted in yelling and riding Horse faster than the statutory, gait of Bfx miles an hour. Officer Galpin, who made the arrest, said he thought the horse was geared up to about twenty miles. MT. Mayer pleaded guilty on behalf of the horse to the latter charge and said that the animal was always "quvick on der shtart off. D Ofdcer Galpln's testimony relieved the horse- He said: '1 was sitting in a bootblaek chair in front of the Palace when Mayer got on the horse. He dug his heels in the horses sides and gave a cowboy war whoop. I didn't know Dutchman could make so much noise. I started to take him in, but he was splitting the wind going down street. He went so fast his hat blew of and when he came back after it I 'sloughed' him. He was boiling drunk"
 Mayer denied that he was what one could call drunk, but admitted that he had had plenty. Officer Mo,loy said he did not know what drunkenness meant, in Switzerland, but in Amer ica the condition in which he saw Mir Maye1 was variously de- scribed by "as full as goat" drunk as a boiled owl" loaded for bear" etc. Mir. Mayer was fined $5 for each offense. He paid it and went ou. with the evident impression that the police courts of America were not calculated to encourage immigration. Next to the ccws MT.

success, when Officer Fox happened
