Spain Accepts Our Terms

The announcement of Span's acceptance
of the terms Of peace formulated by our
government will be received with u feel
ing of profound relief by the American
people. Two weeks ago the intelligence
that hostilties were to cease would have
been hailed with general demonstrations
of joy. The American public has so long
taken It for granted, however that peace
was assured, that tdings of peace como
to us as tale that has been told. Spain
direct appeal to this country for terms
of peace showed that point had been
reached where the Sagasta ministry be-
lieved it could negotiate for II cessation
of hostilities without endangering its own
existence or that of the dynasty. and the
moderation of our demands assured their
acceptance after the usual amount Of
spectacular fencing on the part of the
spanish government
on the other hand, events in connec-
ton with the war have crowded upon
already in the ovcrshadowing of the issue
of peace. Knowing that peace was prac-
tcally assured, the American people have
passed on to the consideration of the is
sues growing out of the war. Some of our
number arc already facing the problems
of Cuban paoiflcation, the restoration Of
order in all the territory surrendered by
Spain, the form of government to be in
sttuted in the possessions to be cedcd
directly to the United States, the posi-
bilitics resting with the joint peace COM
mission regarding the Philippines. and the
Strengthening of our national defenccs.
The great mass of the American people
however, have been waiting during these
last few days for the announcement of
certain peace as the signal for the re-
sumption of business and Industrial
activity which was interrupted by the
war. They will dispose of SPANS accept
ance with That's what we expect ed, -
and promptly direct their efforts to the
securing of their share of that Astounding
prosperity which the restoration of peace
assures.

Jamaica Now Seeks Annexation.

A quarter of a century has wrought a
radical revolution in the attitude of Eu-
rope as a whole toward the West In
dies question. Previous to the Virginius
affair England and France had for years
endeavored to induce the United States
to enter into an agreement by which all
of the parties should rcnounce all inten-
ton of acquiring Cuba and should agree
to discountenance all endeavors to that
effect on the part of others. Our govern
ment declined to subscribe to this agree
ment, whereupon it was notified by Eng
land that the British government would
not for Il moment admit the claim that
the United States alone had u right to
have voice in the matter. In 1875 both
England and France refused to counten-
ancc our Intervention in behalf of the
Cuban Insurgents. projected as Il result
of our Indignation over the Nirginius out
rage, and it is believed that they would
have attempted to restrain us by force.
Now after the lapse of only twenty
three years. indications are not wanting
that the entire West Indies are ready to
fall into Uncle Sans lap. It is now def
nitely determined that Porto Rico shall
be ours, and in all human probability the
ultimate solution of the Cuban problem
is to be found in the annexation of the
island to the United states. According to
Il British correspondent recently returned
from the West Indies there is talk in
jamaica about some arrangement for the
annexation of that island to this country.

growing poorer in recent years under the
influence Of unfavorable trade conditions,
and its people see i'm the establishment OF
new tariff conditions in Cuba and Porto
Rico the source of still further handicap
for themselve in the future. Some of
them are said to believe that if the United
States could find way to transfer an in
terest in the Philippines to Great Britain
in exchange for jamaica, both nations
would be benefited. 1t is also stated that
the people of Jamaica would not he pre-
JUDGED against annexation to the United
States.
1t Is not improbable that similar consid-
erations would induce Ilayti in the near
future to seek annexation to this country,
but be this as it may, the United States is
now in position to gain possession of the
principal portion of the West Indies for
the mere asking. Another significant fact
is that not a single voice of protest has
been raised against this territorial cXpan-
sion on our part from former DIRECTORS.
England looks with marked favor upon
our annexation of SPANS possessions in
American waters, and France is main

it is wise. We may not want any more

M'DONOUGH'S VICTORY.
The Pivot on Which tho Famous battle
of Lake Champaign Turned.

I 10 the Eultor or the Free PRESS
| At late hour of evening in the sum
mer of 1914, four young men, Ira Ham
mond, George HoXie, Abram Schutt, jr.,
and Peter Mills, going homeward along
| the west shore of Aburgh which was
frinscd with bushes, heard II noise In the
! lake that attracted their attention and on
going down to the shore two men leapcd
shorcward from something which they
were policing along shore northward. On
| examination the young men found that II
was two full length pine trees dashed to-
gcther They took possession of them
and set them back around Mud Point
and moved them to the shore. The next
morning they went out to McDonough's
| fleet which was anchored near Point Au
! Fer, and Informed the Commodore, who
at once sent boat ashore with men and
axes to disable the trees for spars. The
Commodore conjectured that a vessel was
building at the north and Immediately
took measures to build one to counter
match 1t judging the size from the size
and length of the spars. The result was
that in thirty days the Ticonderoga was
built from the stump, up Otter Creek and
! brought into action to checkmate the
Contiance then building at Isle Aux Noix.
After the war Henry Sheldon told
Thomas Mott that he was one of the two
mer who were policing the spars. that
they got them up Pike River, which emp
ties into the lower end of Missesso Bay;
that they got them all the way around
the point of Alburgh and should have got
them by McDonough's fleet and over the
line before morning had they not been
discovered, ana that they lost $500 as the
result. TO supply the loss two spars were
procured up Missisco river and foated in
to Nichols Bay north Of Alburgh Springs
and they attempted to haul them across
to South River but falling TO do so, men
were sent on and dressed them down,
when they succeeded In moving them
across. McDonough gave the condemned
spars to Benjamin Mott and they Law
ashore till 1929 when Joseph NJ Mott got
out from them the sides to ferry scow
to run at Wind Mil Point. Thus we see
that but for this accidental discovery, in
all probability McDonough's tonnage
would have been so much inferior that
victory would have perched upon the ban

DEMONSTRATED BY THE WAR,
(Army and Navy Journal)

That George Washington's head was
level when he said "In peace prepare
for war"
That talking peace and refusing TO pre-
pare for war is not the best way to avoid
war.
That the size OF country's population
or the extent of its wealth is not the
measure of strength; but It's capacity Tor
prompt action in war.
That the combination of gun man
and uniform does not necessarily make
a soldier.
That no country has better raw material
for soldiers, or more of II. but that the
time spent for training and discipline is
an essential factor in the formation OF an
army.
That man for man, the American Is not
outclassed as fighter by any foreigner
The pluck and energy and cool, calculat-
ing disregard of danger is not merely an
individual, but a national characteristic
That judged by their product, our ma
tional educational establishments for the
navy and army have no supcriors, and the
scope of their education should be widened
so as to prepare for the necessary Increase
of our minitary and naval establishments
That in proportion to its size the Amer
lean navy has no superior in ships and
guns.
That the American navy retains the SUI

in the revolution and in the war of 1872;
indeed. wherever II has been brought into
contrast with foreign navies.
That American shipyards, American ord

factories. can be depended upon for hon.
est and thorough work, and our ordnance
officers for efficient inspection.
That the collisions. accidents and misun-
derstandinss SO common In foreign naval
maneouvers are not the necessary accom-
paniments or joint action by vessels Of
war properly handled.
That the sweet little cherub who sits
