WASHINGTON. July 14.-That the ad.
ministration Is anxious to secure the
fall of Santiago without bloodshed is
made apparent by the offer made to
General Toral to send the Spanish
forces to Spain il they surrender i'm.
mediately. A few days ago it was
stated that the president would insist
upon unconditional surrender. but it
appears that conditions have been mod.
ified. This was done mainly from q
desire to avoid useless bl0odshsd, for
General Toral's army removed to Spain
would be harmless to prevent our fur
ther operations in Cuba and would
serve as good purpose as would the
destruction OF the Spanish army. To
allow the Spanish general to withdraw
to the interior and fall back on Havana
would put us under the obligation OF
overcoming that additional force when
it comes to the siege Of Havana. Our
government is also moved to make this
proposal to
Remove the Spanish Forces to Spain
through strong desire to close up the
operations at Santiago at the earliest
possible moment. This desire has been
materially strengthened by the appear.
ance of yellow fever within the Amer.
lean lines. It was at first supposed
that the men were falling i'll with
malaria and climatic fever, 60 the cases
were reported as simply suspicious.
Now, however, comes the final admis-
sion that they are genuine yellow fever
cases. Their appearance has deter
mined the authorities upon q more
active prosecution of the campaign.
Reluctant as the war department is to
sacrifice the many lives that might be
lost in assault. tits deemed to be bette:
policy to make it than to allow the

diseases during the long period that
would be required to perfect tho reduc.

Burglar Killed.

Boston, Dec. % "A dead body, prob
ably that of q burglar, murdered by his
pal, was found in the fron5 parlor of the
house of Eon. John Shaw, in Quincy,
this morning. The man had been shot in
the breast. In his pockets were gold
watch, 1921 in cash, and two pairs of eye
glasses. A part of the property was
identified by Shaw as belonging to him.
The affair is shrouded in mystery. but
the supposition is that the man and 0
companion entered the house bent on
robbery and after securing the spoils
quarrelled over their division and the
fatal shooting was the result. The
pistol shot was not heard by the mem
bers of the Shaw family, but neighbors
say they heard the shot early this
morning.

THURSDAY EVENING, DEC %, 1898

THE article in yesterdays Gazette,
taken from the San Francisco Call, q
republican newspaper, should be read
by every U. S. Senator before he votes
upon the Spanish treaty. The people
on the Pacific coast know great deal
more about.the Filipinos than those OF
the East do, and it is always we'll to
look before you leap. It is understood
that both the Senators from California
are opposed to the treaty, and if those
of all the other States were, it would be
better for the whole country. But, be-
sides this, the treaty referred to pro-
vides that the civil rights and political
status of the native inhabitants of the
territory ceded to the United States
shall be determined by Congress,
which, of course, confers imperialistic
powers upon Congress, to which no
Senator, has as yet at least, publicly
agreed.

What is the use of making better
article than your competitor if you can
get q better price for il?
Ans.--As there is no difference in the
price the public will buy only the bet
ter. so that while our profits may be
smaller on q single sale they will be
much greater in the aggregate.
How can you get the public to know
your make is the best?
If both articles are brought promln-
emily before the public both are certain
to be tried and the public will very
quickly pass judgment on them ana
use only the better one.

regiment, arrived at the Southern de-
pot from the South yesterday, Miss

companions to meet him. One OF

superhuman effort, extricated himself
from the arms of his admirers, and
caught the train as the last car was
pulling out of the station.
