WaahinRtOn and Great Falls H. II.
All during this hot Summer workmen have
been busy on the line of the Washington and
Great Falls Railway, with the result that at
present the road is double-tracked for more than
three -fourtns of its entire length. This facilitates
travel in small degree, and absolutely assures
the safety of those who wend their way Glen
Echoward. The mile or so which but
single track extends is fitted out with one of the
most thorough systems of block signals ever usei
in this country. BY means OF colored slides in
the daytime and electric lights at night. the
gripmen Of oncoming trains notified of almost
the exact position of which they are to meet.
The weight Of the vehicles on the special rails
used for that purpcs, makes a connection that
changes the signal ahead and keeps the crew OF
the first train informed. This automatic arrange
ment makes accident on the road extremely i'm
probable and has the effect OF adding greatly
to the pleasure of the journey for timid people.

ACCOUNTING OF sAGAsTA.
1t Will BE Demanded by the People
of Spain.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-The Times Ma
drid correspondent, telegraphing Sum-
day, says: The publication of the
protocol has not made much impress
sion, because the contents were al
ready known. The only doubtful point
referred to the time of the conyocation
of the cortes. Although there is a
strong cabinet dissension on this
point, and some apprehension of a cris-
Is, little Importance need be attached
to 1T, because it is unlikely that, even
in the event of one or two ministers
resigndng, the course of the peace ne
gotiations will be seriously affected.
In the long run Sagasta is certain to
have his own way. Meanwhile he al
lows his colleagues to discuss the sub
ject freely, and wisely keeps his own
counsel. There is no conceivable doubt
that the cortes will approve Of peace,
and the date of the convocation of the
cortes can only affect personal party
interest
1t is too soon to speak confidently of
the impression the preliminary condi-
tions of peace, when examined closely,
VIII ildhe Oh the spanish people gem
orally, but there is no doubt but what
the termination Of hostilities will be
received by the great majority with
satisfaction.
During the past few weeks there has
been great change in public opinion.
Though 1t was universally recognized
from the beginning that in the long
run America would prove herself
stronger than Spain, it was generally
expected that the bravery, dash and
tenacity Of the Spanish army and navy
the superiority of the United States in
population and resources, and that,
consequently, the conditions of peace
would not be very onerous. This illu-
sion was dispelled by the destruction of
Cervera's squadron, the capitulation of
Santiago and other well known Incl
dents Of the campaign, and gradually
the conviction spread THAT, ais Spain
was evidently incapable of defending
herself, the sooner she made peace the
better.
1t may be asserted, therefore, that
the decision of the government will be
generally approved, and that the gov
eminent will be subsequently called
to account for it's negligence in pre-
pairing for war, and for the manner in
which the campaign was conducted.

PATROLLED BY POLICE.
Steps Taken at Madrid to Prevent
Popular Disorder.

MADRID, Aug. 15.-The city was
patrolled by police last night, but per-
feet tranquility prevails. The publioa-
ton of the protocol produced keen dis
appointment where il refers to the
Philippines, where it was hoped that
Spain would preserve her sovereignty
intact. Clause III. of the protocol dis
pels every Illusion.
All the adversaries of the present
cabinet find fault with the protocol,
because the fifth clause allows until
October for the meeting of the peace
commissioners and stipulates when a
definite treaty Is concluded it shall be
ratified according to the constitutional
rules of each country, thus furnishing
Sagasta with a plausible preteXt for
a6journing the convocation of the cor
ties until he has treaty of peace to
put before them.
Public opinion attaches great i'm
portance to the Spanish commission in
Paris making resolute stand in de-
Tense of Spain's territorial rights in
the Philippines. The government there
fore wants to send a strong, competent
body of delegates.
A decree mas Deen issued granting
the repatriated troops three months
furlough. The minister of war, Gen.
Correa, has issued circulars fixing rules
for the disarmament of the forces re-
turning from the West Indies, who viii
hand over their arms and munitions
on their arrival at Vego, Corunna and
other ports.
A meeting on Saturday of the cab
met council was devoted chiefly to the
consideration of means for restoring
commercial, postal and telegraph COM
munication with the colonies. French
diplomats are requested to sound the
disposition of the United States gov
eminent on these matters, and also to
ascertain whether the United States,
until the evacuation of the West In
dies is completed, will allow the Span
ish authorities and Spanish admiuis-
trative tribunals to continue to act.
The French conduct OF the negotia-
lions for peace Is regarded as a clev-
err stroke of French diplomacy con-
sidering the immense French interests
in Spanish financial and commercial
undertakings. It is understood that
high Spanish decorations will be con-
ferred upon those concerned
The press advocates dividing the ma
tional war subscriptions among the re-
patriated trOops.
