day. The acceptance by Spain Of tho
terms OF the United States was accom-.
plished by a memorandum setting forth
that Spain yields only to superior force.
This decision was reached a. the result Of
pressure upon the Spanish commission
not so much from Madrid a. from the
powers. Tie Americana demands includ.
ed the acquisitions Of. the whole OF the
Philippine and sSulu groups for $20,000,-
900, and it is also. understood the United
States will purchase the Caroline group.
The question OF tile debt of Cuba Is left
unsettled. The answer of the S%paniards
was so short that. less than ten minutes
was consumed in rendering it into English
for the Americans. -. $50, -.
The Spanish Government utilized the
last six days, during which Senior Montero
Rios was conducting correspondence with
Judge Day regarding details Of the Amer
lean offer, to sound once more the Euro
lpean chancellories upon the point whether
she could rely on any aid toward a limita-
tion of American aggression in case she
rejected the American terms. 1--WE re-
'ceived," said a Spanish delegate, with
bitterness, mot only a refusal of any sup
port, but also a plain intimation that no
power would interfere IL we lost the Car
dimes, and even the Canaries."
The American commission declined to
accede to either Of the three alternative
propositions made by the Spaniards. Pres-
ident Day Of the American commission
notified President Rios Of the Spanish
body, in reply to a request for more time;
that the American commission could not
modify the demand it had made, for a final
reply. ~.
The technical work Of preparing the
treaty and negotiating about other mat
tiers named in the American ultimatum
will probably occupy about a fortnight.

GALEsBURG has been having an OBJ
ject lesson. A Santa Fe train came
in with a hugh tank of sulphuric acid
aboard. The tank sprung leak and
the fluid ran on the ground. Some
pedestrians, unaware of the nature of
the escaping contents, walked through
it and were astonished to see that
shortly afterward their shoe soles
came off and left them literally walk
ing on their uppers. Bicyclists who
ran through it found that they had
struck something that took the
rubber off their wheels without
asking leave. At last the acid was
led to the creek, where it sizzled and
burned at a great rate to the astonish
ment and wOnderment of all the small
boys in the neighborhood.

tElSURElY LANE.

Is there no road now to Leisurely lanef We
travelled it long ago,
A place for the tagging Of leisurely steps. sweet
and shady and slow.
There were rims of restful hills beyond and
fields of dreamful wheat,
With shadows of clouds across them blown and
peoples asleep at our feet.
There lads and maids on Sunday met and
strolled them, two and two
The leaves they laced in a roof o'erhead. and
only the sun peercd through,
And there was time to Hlther rose and time
for the woodbird's Sall
and plenty Of time TO sit by stream and
hearken its ripple and fall.

There was once a lamp through the broOding
dusk and over the tree a star.
There was once a breath of the clover bloom
sweet heaven, we have hurried so long!-
And there was gate by white rose clasptd.
ard out of the dusk a song.
That song-the echo is strange and sweet; the
voice-it is weak and old.
1t hath no part with this fierce, wild rush and
this hard, mad fight for gold!
1t hath no part with the clamor and din and
the Earring of wheel and stone!
Oh. listen. my heart, and forget-forget that
we reap the bread we have sown!
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane, where,
lingering, one by one,
The summoning bells of twilight time ever the
meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward way, glad
of the evening starr
Is there no road now to Ieisurely lanef God
knows we have hurried afar!

Opening Up the Philippines,

When the new order of things is established

great rush to Uncle Sans latest possessions.
There will be a scramble for wealth similar to
that which occurred when the Klondike

business man is engaged in, he thinks more
OF his purse than Of his health, but wealth is
worthless without good health to enjoy it.

Bradley continuing his speech, said;
"A republic founded on the bedrock
of liberty, with the declaration that
all men are born free and equal, and
that governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the gov.
erned, cannot engage in the conquest
of other lands. The acquisition Of
foreign territory means the formation

They Were After Schley.

Capt. Eulate. of the Spanish cruiser
Vizcaya, in an interview said that prior
to the coming out of the harbor at San
tiago on that fatal Sunday morning,
the orders to the fleet were to concen-
trate the fire on the United States
cruiser Brooklyn. He followed in
structions and at once made for Com
modore Schley's flagship. Says the
Spanish captain: ''She was good
mark with her big broadside. and a.
l started l thought surely l would
get her, but she had evidently seen
us and very quickly she turned about
and, making short circle, came at
our port side so that thought she
would ram us. l moved in toward
the shore SO that l could avoid her.
The maneuver of the Brooklyn was
beautiful. We opened rapid fire at
her with all our big guns, but she re-
turned it with terrible effect. The
Oregon also hit us several times,
but the Brooklyn's broadside
crashing into our superstructure
simply terrorized the men. We
worked all our guns at her at one
time and l don't see how she escaped
us. She simply drove us in to shore
at one time, fighting us at LOO
yards. One shell went along the en-
tire gun deck, killing half the men on
it and wounding nearly all the rest.
A shell from the Oregon hit the su-
perstructure and it was then that,
wounded and knowing we could not
get away, ST. TX the flag and started
for the beach. The Brooklyn had
prevented me from getting away, as
l had 2-mile lead of her Nv or
ders were to try and sink the
Brooklyn, and i tried to carry
them out. did not think her
battery could be so terrible as
it was The Spanish commanders
evidently were after Schley for tive
reasons. the first. because they knew
he had bottled them up, and the sec.
ond. because with him out of the way
their chances for escape would have
been improved. But Schley-well h,
was too Schley for the Spaniards
that's all.
