near enough to assault their fortitica'
tions.
Gen. Shafter has officially confirmed
the press statement Of the worthlessness
of Garcia aad his Cubans in the Santi'
ago campaign.
The fears of the administration that
the Philippine insurgents were likely
to make trouble for us at Manila, have
been increased by dispatches from Ad'
miral Dewey, and General Merritt, who
reached there last week. Aguinaldo,
the insugent chief is nursing bad case
of the big head, and has had little
enough sense to try to give himself airs
in his dealings with Admiral Dewey.
One consolation in the situation is that
Apuinsldo's relations with the Spanish
are such that there Is no possibility OF
his making combination with them
against us. After Manila is taken and
the Spanish disposed of, General Mer.
rift and Admiral Dewey will be in a
position to administer a thrashing to
the insurgents, if their actions show
them to be hankering after it. The
taking Of Manila is not likely to be
much longer deferred. unless peace
puts a stop to the campaign.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.
WASHINGTON, AUGUST l, 1898.

WASHINGTON. AUGUST l, 1898.
Spain is an up.to-date exemplifca-
tion of the adage about the evils atten-
dant upon a bad name. Although
President Mckinley has acted upon
SPANS request for our terms of peace
as though he believed in its honor and
Observation-Disclosures, there is no reason
to believe that his faith in Spanish honor
is any greater than that of the average
Narrowing to his experience, it is
probably not so great. Not one man in
ten in Washington, believes that Spain
made those ove1tures with any serious
intention Of accepting our terms Of peace
although in the end it may do so. 1t
has very nearly reached case Of must
with Spain, and if it does not accept
the present terms, which, under the
circumstances are liberal in the extreme
80 liberal that theFrench Ambassador
who is now also accredited as Spanish
minister, accepted them on the spot
more severe ones will have to be aocep.
ted later. The terms condensed are the
evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico. and
leaving the Philippine question to be
settled afterwards.
In the general discussion which has
followed SPANS plea for peace, some
very interesting points have been raised
For instance, as an evidence Of Spain's
insincerity, one man calls attention to q
clause in the Spanish constitution which
prohibits the crown even entering upon
negotiations having in view the cession
or exchange Of any portion Of Spanish
territory, until authority therefore has
been granted by majority vote of both
branches of the National Legislature.
This is met by another man with the
claim that the recent declaration of
martial law throughout Spain operates
as suspension Of the constitution, and
that the Spanish Government can, if it
60 desires negotiate treaty on the
lines laid down by the terms of this
government without danger of having
its legality questioned.
General Miles is having an expert.
ence in Porto Rico that is unique in
war. Instead of finding himself and
army in the enemies country, he finds
that they are among the warmest sort
Of friends. The Porto Ricans cheer
our flag and our soldiers whenever a
town is taken possession Of and declare
themselves to be loyal Americans,
many of them carrying the declaration
TO the extent Of asking to be allowed
to enlist in our army and fight for the
flag which they already consider their
own. Owing to the retreat Of heSpan'
ish garrisons of the captured territory,
Gen. Miles ia now in possession Of al

The guests at the Miller House were out
on "bell ride" on Tuesday evening and
made merry with music and laughter.
A house belonging to Joseph shroy at
Licksville, tenanted by Edward Balenger
was entirely consumed by fire recently. Mrs
Balenger had made the fire and gone to
milking. Returning she found the house on
fire, and the smoke 80 dense that it was with
difficulty she found her way to the bedside
of her only child. She ran serious risk to
save her only child still she did SO with but
little harm to either. Mr. Balengers father,
who had been confined to the bed for several
months, ewing to being somewhat crippled,
Jumped out of the bed and ran out when he
discovered the fire and he is now doing very
well.
The officials ut the Navy Department are
much encouraged at the endurance of Off.
GERS and men on the ships in West Indian
waters. Thus far there have been few col.
lapses, although there was every expectation
that there would he many. Added to the
torrid temperature of that climate is the dis
comfort of being confined by the walls OF
iron, that retain the heat, even after 1t has
grown cool outside. The temperature In
the frer0oms of the warshirs, produced by
the roaring furnaces. is itself, apparently,
almost beyond a mans power to endure. A
naval officer wrote letter home some time
ago in which he described the scene IN the
freroom of one of the monitors. Tools, lad.
ders, doors and all fittings, he said were too
hot 10 touch. He wrote of hardy lrishmen,

A COLOSSAL COMPACT.

Consolidation of the Adam Fore
DauGh and Sells Brothers Shows.
The magnitude and consequences Involv-
ed in the uniting of the two great former
arenic rivals above named are such as to
naturally excite incredulity, and some
badly frightened and interested parties
have not scrupled to attempt fomenting
the same by bald misrepresentation and
detraction. Against these may be inter
posed the crushing testimony of hundreds
of reliable newspapers in over a hundred
cities, but the following from the New
York Sun will more than suffice:
'Mr. ]. A. Bailey, who controls the Bar
mum & Bailey show, and is the sole owner
of the Adam Forepaugh show, has acquir-
ed an interest with the Sells Bros, and
hereafter the Forepaugh and Sells shows
will be under the same tents. The Sells
brothers, consisting of Ephraim, Lewis
and Peter Sells, are among the wealthiest
showmen in the country. The Barnum &
Bailey show will be an ally of the new
combination
The recognition accorded to the Sells
Bros show by the extraordinary compact
above outlined, gives it a worldwide pres
tige in addition to the unexcelled one it
has for a quarter of a century steadily
maintained and increased wherever 1t has
exhibited. Among the worlds three great
est shows it is recognized as an equal. and
what Is of greater moment to the public,
one of them is now combined with II,
The result being self-evidently such a
formidable exhibition of its kind as would
be impossible in any other country or to
any other partnership of arenic managers
and proprietors. OF the greater circuses
named it will be the only one to visit Sa-
vannah, its date being Wednesday, Nov.
16, and people are not likely to patronize
inferior shows with such double bill of
varied and colossal amusement in sight.
The wild beasts forthcoming include the
biggest and rarest combined geological col
lections ever exhibited. The hippodrome
and circus performances are proportion
ately superior and sensational, presenting
a hundred high class races and bareback
equestrian, aerial, acrobatic, comical and.
novel acts, introducing the very best am
phitheatrical and arenic talent in the
world, besides droves, families and
aauariums of amazingly and amusing
trained beasts and amphibia. The morn
ing parade is pronounced a wonder in mag
nitude and magnificence, and the entire
enterprise a gigantic, high class and ire
sstible success.

From the Philadelphia Press.
There's an easy-going citizen of this
town who swears by all that is holy that
will never cross his threshold as long as
he lives. The proprietor of the paper in
question and the aforesaid citizen were
bosom friends until a short two weeks ago,
when a certain something happened which
made them strangers. And 1t was all on
account of a would-be facetlous newspa-
per man.
Here's how the story runs: This easy
going citizen, whom for convenience sake
we will call Robinson, attended some sort
of an entertainment about fortnight ago,
at which a toy baby elephant was 10 be
ratified off and given to the most popular
man in the community. Robinson's
friends were a. the entertainment In force,
and toward 10 o'clock in the evening Il
became apparent that the baby elephant
would go either to Robinson or a promi-
nent uptown brewer, who at the hour
mentioned led Robinson by nine votes.
Just at this time, and when the voting
was going merrily on, Mr. Robinson was
handed q telegram. Quickly tearing open
the envelope, he scanned the contents, and

At II O'Clock the voting ceased. Robin
son had won the elephant by six votes
On account Of the lateness of the hour,
1t was determined not to send the elephant
to Robinsons mansion until some time the
next day. A newspaper man who was
present volunteered to take the toy
around and with the remark that he'd
facetiously mention in the morning paper
the fact OF Robinson winning the elephant,
he departed
Before Mr.. Robinson had reached home,
summoned by the telegram, Mrs Robin
son had given birth to a bouncing boy,
and Robinson, too delighted to sleep, siaid
up the entire night celebrating.
Going into the breakfast room the next
morning, he picked up his paper, as was
his won't, and scanned the columns. In
second his face became red, then white
and his lower jaw dropped. Among the
small items of news. Mr.. Robinson read
the following, put there by the facetious
reporter, who thought only OF the rattle
the night before.
