THE TERMS ARE GENEROUS.
Such is the Opinion of the English
Press.

Press.
London, July 30.-Except upon the UNI
settled point of the Philippines the main
lines OF the peace terms were already
discounted here The editorials in the
morning papers today generally regard
them as evidence of desire OH the part
of the United States to treat Spain gen
erously and to limit, SO far as possible,
the extension of Americas administra-
tive responsibilities beyond seas. The
papers agree that there is no limit in
warfare. Spain is naturally sore, but
they point out she must put up with the
loss of Porto Rico and, if she is well adj
vised, she will close with the American
terms.
The Morning Post. however. says:
Since the United States have decided
to take Porto Rico there is no need to be
fastidiOus about Cuba. 1t must be seen
now that the resolution of Congress was
an unnecessary tying of hands. If it is
consistent with justice and morality to
annex Porto Rico it cannot be wicked
or unjust to annex Cuba.
"Thc spectacle of ii Government, after
a succession of victories, spending days
in discussing reply to request for
terms Of peace is a novelty by no means
agreeable. The art of seeing how the
wind blows is of very little use for di-
recting II ship in II storm
The Daily Chronicle is for the aDneXa-
ton of the Philippines and thinks ''it
will not be an easy task to bring Gen
eraI Merritt and his army back with
nothing to show but coaling station.
The paper says:
I'VE are impatient with American
modesty in believing the task of govern
ing the Philippines too much for the
United States. 1t must be admitted that
a grave danger looms in German am.

There was large number Of peO~ pie present at the Congregational church Tuesday night, the attraction being Rev J. II. Ieald's lecture "Our Country in War" The lecture was Illustrated by fifty stereopticon views. Rev Heald is an eloquent speaker and his stereopticon views are we'll selected, many of them being scenes of our late war with Spain. The battle of Manila, the attempted escape Of Cervera's fleet from the har- Dor of Santiago de Cuba. Hobson blowing up the Merrimac and nu- merous other views were thrown upon the canvass. All who attended voted the entertainment as good and well worth the small price of admission.

Idol Worship in Mexico.

The Two Republics of the City of Mexico, recently published the follow ing:
 As is well known to many who have looked into the matter, idolratry and witchcraft have not yet altogether died out among the Indians of Mexi- co. 1 have in my possession two witch dolls lately presented me by former captain of rurales In the district of Patzcuaro. They are hideous little figures made out Of rags and all stuck full of rusty pins and thorns of the maguey plant. They bear striking resem mblance to the witch dolls of the cotton mother period of New England witchcraft celebrity. The same old idea prevails that when one wishes to hurt an enemy he buys one of these witch dolls and has the "bruja" or witch to stick it full of 'hOrns or pins, and thus the absent enemy will be tormented. Any one acquainted with the inner life of the Mexican Indian of today knows that the witch doctor has far more influence than "the padre" This is fact that cannot be disproved though it may be denied. l have the facts from several Mexican priests themselves Some time ago, Francisco Estrada, the best guide there is for the ascent Of Popocate- petl, with whom 1 have twice entered the crater, he lives in Amecameca, told me the following: He and 8 friend had been hunting deer on the slopes of Ixtaccihuatl. They noticed procession of Indians moving among the mountains to the sound of the music of the teDonaxtle and the chirl- muja. They followed the procession to large cave, where the worshipers halted. There they brought forth a large number of guajnlotes or turkeys with mole sauce. pulque and other toothsome things, according to the Mexican culinary standard. Estrada and his competitions watched the wOr- shipers for several hours. They saw and heard sacred (?l dances and songs, and afterwards the Indians retired leaving the food and drink at the en- trance of the cave, for their gods, but as no gods appeared, and as Estrada and the rest were very hungry, they drew near and appropriated those edi- bles and drinkables tO their Own com fort. Is this not very much as the Chinese do? They say that the odors are for the gods, but the substance for mOrtals.
