Argo was going down was on the

she blew when she was attemp-

were misleading as to her inten-

1t was these errors, and these
errors alone, of the Dumois, which
caused the terrible accident In

that the Dumois should be made

damages for the calamity caused

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Surrender of DIanilato United States
Would BE Resented By Insurgents.

Washington, August 3.-An interesting
question and one of vital Importance to
the administration is the attitude to be
assumed by the United States towards the
Philippine insurgents in the event that
we reach an agreement for the suspension
of hostilities with Spain. 1t is stipulated
in our peace terms that the United States
military form of government prevail over
the city of Manila and bay with the sur
rounding territory. This involves an i'm :
mediate surrender of the Spanish forces,
not to Aguinaldo, but to Gen. Merritt.
and there isl some apprehensi sion that the
insurgents will resent this very bitterly
and that it will be necessary to expel
them from the territory described. Be-
yond this, it is said in some quarters that
pending the decision Of the peace COM
missioners as to the future of the Philip
pines, the United States will be morally
bound to maintain the status quo in the
islands at large.
Hostilities will terminate within very
few days after Spain has notified the U.
S. government of her acceptance of the
terms laid down in the Presidents note
of last Saturday. 1t is expected here that
the Spanish. piled to accept the broad
|conditions laid down by the United
States will take the form of written
agreement, something in the nature of q
protocol. The protocol would not take
the place in any manner of the treaty of
peace which would be drawn later by
commissioners to be appointed for this
purpose.
Under the terms Of the Presidents
note the Spanish government is bound to
evacuate Cuba and Porto Rico immedi-
ately.
! On the whole it is rather fortunate
circum stance that this evacuation cam
not take place en- masse and Immediate
ly, for it has been determined that the
Spanish troops withdrawal must be re-
placed by United States troops. This Is
deemed to be absolutely necessary to guard
against anarchy and to secure the estab-
lishment of stable form of government
in CubSa under proper constitutional guar
antees, but in all probability not many
of them will have to go there before the
present rainy season has nearly ended.
In other words, having deprived Spain
Of the means of resisting the onslaughts

MORE TROOPS EMBARK.

Newport News, Va, August 3.-The
first detachment Of the third brigade, first
General Fred d. Grant, embarked late
tonight on the transport Hudson for
Porto Rico, and at i've O'Clock in the
morning the Hudson will steam out OF
Hampton Roads. The troops on board
are six companies of the first Kentucky
regiment. Before they went aboard the
vessel, the soldiers were paid off. 1t is
not probable that any other transports
will leave here Friday. General Grant
and his staff will en- bark upon the aux
Hilary cruiser Yale Saturday if the pres
emit programme is carried out.

proper place in the line of progress IL
they couldsonly have opportunity to make
such energy effective. What was needed
was easier communication with the out
side world And so this corporation was
organized and, In the early part of 1858,
the road was constructed from Hiram
Junction to Bridgtpn. The building of
such roads was at that time largely d
matter OF experiment. 1t was new work
for the men engaged in it; and so, under
the circumstances then existing, it is not
surprising that the construction of the
road was hot in all its details what it
should have been or what was expected.
But the managers, locking more to the
permanency of the enterprise and the
public welfare than to their own imme-
diatc profit, adopted the wise policy of
using the surplus earnings of the road,
not for dividends on their stock, but in
generous and permanent improvements,
and so for a number of years this surplus
went into the road ltself; bne road bed
was made sol11 and substantial tresules
were supplanted by solid hll1ng until the
entire remaining bridges OF the road only
aggregate a little over 200 feet IN length.
And sthus the road attained complete
ness and permanency which merlteo inc
nigh praise which it received from Ire
ooaro OF railroad commissioners IN the
last report, where this road is referred TO
as "one OF the model narrow gauge rail-
roads of the state" u
All this simply serves to emphasize the
difference, to which have before called
your attention, between prudent and
business-l1ke management of u road by
people who are interested to make it an
actual and permanent benefit to d COM
munity and the management of such
road by persons who are interested
simply in the building of the road as q
speculation and out of which they want
to get for themselves the greatest amount
in the shortest time possible. The
former apply surplus earnings to i'm
provements at the expense of immediate
dividends on their stock: the latter would
have applied such earnings to dividends
to enhance their stock at the expense of
the road and the community.
And SO the road progressed from the be-
ginning, and last year the corporation
owned we'll built and well equipped
road, carried about 14,O00 passengers and
over l4,00n tons Of freight, paid all Of its
current expenses, the interest on its
bonds, per vent upon its stock and had
good surplus in the treasury towards
rainy day.
Now, truly, this is record of success
such success as could follow only
the right administration of the affairs of
the corporation, and as such it stands as
tribute to the business ability and the
foresight and the honest purpose of the
officers of the corporation. They may
we'll be proud of it; and yoa and and
every one who is interested in the adj
vancement and prosperity of the towns
of Bridgton and Harrison may well be
proud of it also.

SORE ON PORTO RICO.

London, August 4-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Standard says:
The Madrid press strongly blanes the
want of loyalty the volunteers in Porto
Rico have displayed in. allowing the
American invaders SO easy walk-oyer.
Indeed this behavior tends to diminish
the regret felt here at losing the island.
Santos Gazman, Calvo and other chiefs

despondently of the condition of the isl
and and declare that America will be
compelled to keep an army of 100, o00
