Nothing to Arbitrate.


The American commissioners hold that
the meaning of the peace protocol is plain
and contains nothing calling for arbitra-
ton. An arbitration would also be a
virtual surrender of the functions of the
peace commission, and is, therefore, abso-
lutely rejected.
The American commissioners call atten-
ton to the fact that no cash indemnity for
the expenses of the war has been asked
by the United States. The Spaniards
having neglected the former proposal of
the United States for the cession of the
Philippines, the Americans now present
proposals embodying all concessions
which, for the sake of peace, the United
States is willing to Offer deeming it essen
tiai that the negotiations, already greatly
protracted, should be brought to an early
and definite conclusion.
The Government of the United States
refuses to modify the proposal heretofore
made for the cession of the entire archi.
pelago of the Philippines; but the Ameri
can commissioners are authorized TO offer
to Spain, in case the cession should be
amicably agreed to, the sum of $4,000
O0O, to be paid in accordance with the
terms to be fixed in the treaty of peace.

WORK OF OUR NAVY.
SECRETARY LONGS ANNUAL RE-
PORT MADE PUBLIC.
Work of the Department Is Reviewed
from the Beginniug of Hostilities-
Correspondence Between schley and
Sampson.

The annual report Of the Secretary of
the Navy is much longer than the usual
annual report. The first sentence explains
this as follows:
For the first time STAGE It's rehabilitation
the navy has been put TO the supreme test
OF war. Years of patieat. persistent train
Ing and Development had brought it to n
point of high etti .iency which resulted in
the unparG leled victories at Manila and
Santiago-yic, cries which have given the
names of our naval commanders world wide
fame and adaet. an additional page to the
glorious naval history Of our country.
The report describes in rapid order the
steps that were taken to consolidate the
squadrons and put the navy in readiness
for hostlities. Sigcbees famous telegram
asking Il suspension Of public opinion in
come ,tion with the blowing up of the
Maine is quoted and the Secretary says:
This judicious telegram did much to Sc
cure in the public mind dispassionate
view of the disaster"
The story of Dewey's victory at Manila
is told, and of it the Secretary says:
Aside from the mere Tact Of having won
without the loss of single life such bril-
liant and eieetrifying victory at the very
outset of the war with all the confidence
which II infused throughout he country and
into the personnel of every branch of the
service, II removed at once all apprehension
for the Pacific coast. The Indirect pecunary
advantage to the United States in the way
of saving an increase of insurance rates md
In assuring the country of freedom from
attack on that coast is lucalculable.

lowed for two hours and half, but as
there was no land force to hold 1t in case of

The
Cruel Knife!

1t is absolutely useless to expect a
surgical operation to cure cancer, or
any other blood disease. The cruelty
of such treatment is illustrated in the
alarming number of deaths which re-

blood, and hence can not be cut out.

High Heels and rirh. Shoes.

Many reasons have been given for
the preference shown by women gener-
ally for high heels. One is that the
practice adds height to the body; an
other that II adds gracefulness to the
carriage. To the latter We take ex-
ception, for Il may do so as long as the
wearers stand still, but when they
move about II imparts what can best
be described as q wabbling motion.

Of making the feet look small, but, a
q matter Of fsct, the better shape Q
foot Is the smaller 1t win look, but In
the disproportionately small foot there
Is always involved an awkward gait.
The foot Of q tall woman should be
larger than the foot Of q small wom-
an. The foot In length should be
the length of the ulna, q bone b the
forearm, which extends from a pro-
tuberance In the outer portion Of the
wrist to the elbow. OF course, the
ulna is longer In tall people, and to be
graceful the foot should be also. Many
people may be surprised that the foot
should be as long as the forearm, and
might be inclined to dispute the fact
unless proved by demonstration. Big
women sometimes pinch their feet In
tight shoes because they are ashamed
to have them in proportion to their
bodies, and thus In time they deform
them until they are out Of all proper
ton to the body. and sometimes in the
direction they do not intend.
