THE END OF THE WAR.

There can now be no doubt that the Span
peace offered by the President. This means
the end Of the war so far as the sending of
troops to Porto Rico or other points to drive
on. the Spaniards is concerned. Soldiers
will be required in Cuba in considerable
numbers to give the island tranquility un-
less the insurgent leaders shall show them
selves equal TO the task. 1t may be neces-
sary TO send more troops to Manila if it is
proposed to hold the islands. 1t is not prob
able that many state volunteers will be held
for these purposes. When the regular army
shall be increased to over 10000 men, as
the present law provides, and the United
States volunteers are retained, there is not
likely TO be need for other troops. The regi-
ments which were about to be sent to Porto
Rico as a matter of consolation will not
go forward, but will probably be mustered
out as rapidly possible.
The men who have enlisted and withstood
the hardship and submitted to the discipline
of the camps of instruction will be entitled
to just as much credit as if they had been
in battle. 1t was because Spain knew that
600 men are in camp, waiting for Octo-
ber that it's Ministry accepted the Presi-
dents terms of peace. The victory belongs
to these regiments just much as if it had
not been bloodless. The regiments will be
given credit for what was accomplished
just the same as if they had been under
fire

have passed between the Spanish govern
mem and the French ambassador. resulting
in few immaterial alterations in the origi-
nal terms, their final acceptance by the
Spanish Cabinet on the 5th, and notifica-
ton of the fact to the French ambassador
on the 9Th. This practically ends the war,
and there may not be another shot fired.
1t is said the Spanish commander at San
Juan has been instructed to surrender on
demand, and probably General Miles will
be notified to-day, If he has not been al
ready, that Spain has agreed to evacuate
Porto Rico. These results have been ac-
compIished in twelve days of direct cable
communication between Washington and
Madrid. The details are yet to be ar
ranged, but the main fact is accomplished.
Without submarine cable communication it
would have required some months to have
reached the same result. All the corre-
spondence would necessarily have been car
ried on in writing, the movements of steam
ers would have had to be consulted, and
there would have been misunderstanding
at every point Meanwhile, the United
States would probably have continued it's
military operations, and another battle or
two might have occurred, with considerable
loss of life. If there had been an electric
telegraph in 1914 the battle of New Orleans
would not have been fought. The treaty of
peace was signed in Client, Dec. "a, 1914,
and the battle of New Orleans was fought
two weeks later, on. Jan. 8. 1915. In the
present case the commander of our forces
in Cuba will know the result of the peace
negotiation almost as soon as it is known
in Washington. Thus science becomes the
of war. la III

To-day two great powers in the world are
