tlon OF Cuba, Porto Rico and one OF the
Ladrone islands, there is nothing more
for any peace commission to do in rela-
tion to those subjects, their fate u
sealed and the protocol In that respect
Is as binding as any definitiVe treaty OF
peace. It was such q protocol as this
that was signed by President ThierH
and Prince Bismarck, TO terminate the
Franco PTussiRn war, and the condt-
tlons therein laid down were not even
subject to revision ct che hands Of the
peace commission that followed.
ManY details remain to be agreed
upon, which are not even referred to in
the protocol. Such Of these as relate
to purely military and naval subjects
will be referred TO a military commits
sion.
This commission may encounter some
dificuitV in making a disposition OF
Spanish soldiers in Cuba and Porto
Rico, and the military and naval pTis-
oners now in the United States, The
Spanish government Is showing a re-
markable unwiliingness to provide for
the return OF these soldiers and anilors
to Spain. This has gone so far as 70
lay the Spanish government open TO
the charge OF indifference to the fate
OF the men who struggled for her cause.
European advlces received here from
private sources throw some Hight upon
this, saying that the Spanish govern
ment Is apprehensIve the returning

break out In open rebellion against the
present dynasty. It Is probable the
military commission viii be clothed
with adequate power to deal with this
question in the interest OF the United

MADRID, Midnight, August E.-The
protocol will be published sImultane-
ously In the oficIal gazettes here and
In Washington.
The papers discuss the situation
quietly and great relief Is felt In gov
ernment and court circles that Presi-
dent Mckinley has not demanded
conVocatlon of the cortes to approve the
peace prelIninaries. The cortes will
now not be summoned Until autumn,
By which time It is expected that the
agitation OF the extremists will have
cooled down, and the country have be-
come more inclined to accept accom-

The commission to meet IN the West

pave the way for commercial treaties
and for a recognition by the United
States or Cuba Of a portion Of the Gu

The suggestion that Senior Moret, for
mer minister for the colonies may pre-

VERY ponular.

Yesterday the sister Of Mrs. Elisabsth

covered at the last moment.

dead hancee, Captain ". D. Sherman,
a volunteer, who died in Washington
from bullet wounds received IN sAntis
ago.
Mrs. J. A. James, Of Parsons, KansaS,
arrived In 81. 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 70 the effect that the
body OF Mr.. James wouldn't once be for
warded. A corpse did come. but 4 was
not that Of Mr.. Janes. The box bore
