Black, So Red, White and Blue
Will Be the Colors.

Patriotic patriotism and plenty of it
is what the KarnivaI Knights intend to
cover their carnival with in Topeka.
At the meeting last night it was
unanimously decided to rescind the ac-
ton taken a week ago which resulted
in the selection of black and orange as
the carnival colors, and substitute red,
white and blue instead.
Besides patriotic people tbere will be
patriotic caps and patriotic umbrellas
and patriotic buttons on carnival night.
Everything will be in red, white and
blue. The Knights will wear red, white
and blue trousers and red white and
blue shirts and red, white and blue
and red, white and blue vests. will be
adorned with red, white and blue but
tons. Incidentally the buttons will be
adorned with a likeness of the Karnival
Queen dressed in a navy costume with
this inscription on the band about her
cap:
"U. S. S. Topeka"
In this way the Karnival knights will
honor the victories of Dewey and Sanp-
son and Schley and recognize the
cruiser named in honor of this city at
the same time.
The caps and umbrellas will cost so
cents each, and will be supplied by Abe

them, but guaranteed the cost of 200
caps and 200 umbrellas.
It was proposed last night that mar

divisions of the parade. This will prob
ably be done, and each marshal will
work up special features for his divis-
ion.
The next meeting will be held next
week

SPAIN'S HOPES
As Officially Promulgated to
Allay Public Feeling.

Madrid, Aug. 12-The question of the
acceptance of the protocol having been
finally settled and its signature ex-
pIicitly and definitely authorized, the
government is now considering the do
mestic situation for the best means of
alIaying the excitement and propagat-
ing the idea that Spain's surrender is
not so complete as indicated by the bold
terms of the protocol. AS the first step
in this direction, a semi official note
has been issued. It is as follows:
THE government is of opinion that
the most critical period of the peace
negotiations has now arrived, as it de-
pends upon the arrangement of details
as to whether the peace will be more or
less advantageous. Spain wishes to
preserve her sovereignty over the whole
of the Philippines, to which she pro-
poses to accord all political and admin
istrative reforms consistent with the
maintenance of her sovereignty.
In regard to the evacuation Of Cuba
and Porto Rico, it will be asked that
the army be allowed to depart honor
ably and that assurances be given
guaranteeing that Spanish and foreign
interests will not suffer. The army,
which has not been conquered, will re-
turn to Spain with it's guns, arms and
munitions.
In regard to the Cuban debt, as the
United States refuses to assume 1t
Spain will endeavor to arrange with the
Cuban treasury to pay it when the is
land is able.
THE question of a treaty of commerce
will lead to considerable discussion and
the matter will be submitted to COM
mission of diplomatists, under the
presidency of Senior Castillo"

COFFlNS GET MIXED
And a MOurner is Separated
From Her Dead Fiance.

Cfncinnti, Aug ia shocking scene
occurred here when the remains of Mrs.
Elizabeth Winkleman were about to be
lowered into the grave. She died In
New York and her remains were taken
from the train to Spring Grove ceIne-
terry. On the same train were the re-
mains of Captain w. D. Sherman,
Kansas volunteer. wounded at Santiago.
It was not intended to open the Win
kleman casket here but sister of the
deceased made the request at the
grave.
When the undertaken discovered that
he had the remains of a captain in un-
form and not that of the aged lady, he
did all he could to appease the dOubly
distressed relatives The baggageman
put off the wrong casket. The remains
of Mrs Winkleman were on the St.
Louis express car from Cincinnati The
railway officials telegraphed for the re-
turn of the Winkleman casket and that
of Captain Sherman was sent on the
next train. The remains of Captain
Sherman were accompanied by Miss
Wyer. When Captain Sherman was
wounded and brought to the hospital al
Washington, his case was not CONSIDER
ed serious Miss Wyer came to Wash
ingtOn for their marriage on the date
previously fixed. While she was en-
route east the captain became worse
and died a few hours before she reached
him at Washington. Efforts are being
made to prevent her from being dOubly
distressed by knowing of the accident
although she will find on arrival in St.
Louis that the casket has been de-
layed.
St Louis, Aug 12.-The error of a
railroad bagga geman has caused
gruesome mix up of corpSes. Four
bodies figure in this strange sJOry-per-
haps a f1fth-and it is also a story Of
four cities.
Yesterday the sister of Mrs. Eliza
beth Wink1eman of Cincinnati, came
near burying the body of Captain W.
D. Sherman, instead of that of Mrs.
Winkleman, and the error was only dis
covered at the last moment.
Miss Wyer a young woman of Kan
sas is on her way home, believing that
a corpse in the baggage car of the train
that carries her is that of her dead
fiance, Captain w. D. Sherman, vol
unteer, who died in Washington from
bullet wounds received in Santiago.
Mrs J. o. James, of Parsons, Kansas,
arrived in ST Louis last night and dis
covered that the body of her husband,
shipped from Boston. had not arrived
Word was sent out along the line. and
a telegram came to the effect that the
body of Mr. James would at once be
forwarded. A corpse did come, but it
was not that of Mr. James. The box
bore the inscription. ''W. P. Leahy, 2021
Madison street, New York City This
was returned.
Today a sealed casket, bearing no in
scription was received. The railroad
officials assured Mrs. James that it con-
tained the body of her husband but
she is not certain that such is the case.
and It is thought the casket may pos
sfbIv contain the remains of Captain
w d Sherman.

Day, Allison and German.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The Associated
Press bulletin from Madrid announcing
that the Spanish cabinet had approved
the peace protocol and that the French
ambassador would receive instructions
to sign it was very gratifying to the ad-
ministration but it was expected that
such would be the course of the Spanish
government. It is confidently expected
that the signatures will be affixed to
the protocol today and Immediately
both governments will begin carrying
out it's provisions. The first will be the
cessation of hOstilities Immediately by
General Merritt and the troops under
his command, the occupation of San
Juan by Gen. Miles and the evacuation
of that island by the Spanish forces.
1t is believed there will be delay in the
evacuation of Havana, Matanzas and
other strongholds in Cuba as some diff
ficulties are anticipated in arranging
for permanent form of government
and because there is no desire to hurry
American troops into the island at the
present time. The near approach of
the signing of the protocol has required
the discussion of personnel There is
good ground for the statement that
Secretary Day will head the commits
sion for peace and that two United
States senators will be member. of it
Senator Allison of Iowa and Senator
German of Maryland, have been prom
inently mentioned for places on the
commission, and it is known that they
have been under consideration by the
president
1t is not believed by members OF the
administration that the commission will
complete its work in time to call an ex-
ira session of congress to consider leg
asIation which the treaty of peace win
necessitate, although, there is a pros
pect that an extra session of the sen
ate might be called in November to
consider the treaty of peace.
