SPANIARDS AND DEWEY.
Prisoners Crush Each Other to
Get Sight of Their Conqueror.
Baltimore Sun:

Baltimore Sun:
San Francisco, Cal, Aug 3 -
According to the Manila CORES
pondent of the Hong Kong Press,
Admiral Dewey is becoming the
idol of the Spanish prisoners at
Cavite, rs well as of his own men.
In letter dated June 2Sth the
correspondent says:
Just outside of the Cavite en-
trance to the navy yard is n large
open space Of ground. On one
side of this place are barracks
used by the insurgents as prisons
and filled with nearly 900 Spanish
regulars. Recently Admiral
Dewey and Consul Williams cross
ed the place. In some way the
prisoners learned that the admiral
was passing and could be seen.
1t took but a minute for word
to be passed along. There was a
grand rush and scramble to win
dows. Men piled on top of men
and pulled each other awav in a
mighty effort to get a glimpse of
the men who had SO completely
defeated their admiral, previously
deemed absolutely invincible.
AT first this rough and tumble
contest was thought by guards to
be a wild attempt to escape, and
a signal was given to call help,
but in moment the manner and
comment of the prisoners changed
this. The Spanish prisoners are
all admirers of Dewey.

AGUINALDO FRIENDLY.
Makes Suggestions Which May
Restore Good Feeling.

BY Telegraph to The Greenville
News:
New York, Aug 5.-A dispatch
to The World from Manila Bay,
by way of Hong Kong, says:
Aguinaldo the insurgent chief,
is becoming more friendly 10 the
Americans.
He has made two propositions
to- General Merritt which NAV
solve the lnsurgent problem in
manner highly advantageous to
the United States.
In the first place he asks the
commander-ln- chief of the Amerl-
can land forces to permit the rebel
troops to narch through the
streets of manila when the city
surrenders. General Merritt an.
pears inclined to consent to this.
1t would crafty the vanity of the
natives to let them indulge in
what will seem to them triumph
al march as victors through the
capital of the enemy they have
been successfully combating and
besieging since the wiping out of
Montejo's feet. At the same
time the native troops being thus
arraysd in line and under direct
orders may be more easily con-
trolled and prevented from ex-
cesses.
In the second place, Aguinaldo
suggested the formation of Philip
pine regiments with American
officers. This is considered a
highly important proposition, a
possible key to the whole situation
throughout the islands. The
native troops would thus be con-
stantly under the eyes and direct
orders of our men. 1t is believed
that they would be obedient and
easily controlled under tactful
commanders.
The American troops now oc.
cupy the trenches in front of
Malate, a suburb of Manila,
which were constructed by Aguin- |

ROBBED THE GRAVE.

A startling incident, of which
Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia,
was the subject, is narrated by
him as follows: "I was in q most
dreadful condition. NV skin was
almost yellow, eyes sunken, ton
que coated, pain continually in
back and sides, no appetite
gradually growing weaker day by
day. Three physicians had given
me up. Fortunately, a friend
advised trying Electric Bitters;'
and to my great JOY and surprise,
the first bottle made decided i'm.
provement. / continued their
use for three weeks, and am now
a well man. I know they saved
my life, and robbed the grave of
another victim" No one should
fail to try them. Only so cts

WAR Is OVER.
Spain has Formally Accepted
Our Terms Of Peace.
Hostilities May End This Week
But it Will be Some Time
Before the War is
Wound Up.

Washington, ID {, August =
Official notice has been received
that Spain accepts our conditions
of peace.
The President did not modify
the original peace terms in the
least, and the acceptance by Spain
is on the following basis, this syn
opsis of the terms being officially
stated by President Mckinley
"The president does not now
put forward any claim for pccun-
larry indemnity, and requires the
REIMBURSEMENT of all claim of SOW
erelgnty over or title to the island
of Cuba, as well as the immediate
evacuation by Spain of the Island;
the Cession to the United States
and immediate evacuation of Por-
to Rico and other islands under
Spanish sovereignty in the West
Indies; and the like cession of an
island in the Ladrones. The u.
S. will occupy and hold the city,
bay and harbor of Manila, pend
ing the conclusion of treaty of
peace which shall determine the
control, disposition aud govern
ment of the Philippines.
eff these terms are accepted by
Spain in their entirety it is stated
that the commissioners will be
named by'the United States to
meet commissioners on the part
OF Spain for the purpose of con-
cluding a treaty of peace on the
basis above Indicated"
An armistice will he declared
in all probability by Tuesday and
the proclamation promulgated
Officials of the war department
say that it will in no way inter
fere with the plans to garrison
and occupy Cuba, but that those
troops ordered to Porto Rico
which are not actually on their
way when the proclamation is is
sned will not be permitted to pro-
ceed as there are sufficient troops
there now to garrison the island.
Those regiments which are par
TALLY EN- barked will be allowed
to proceed.
The administration is hourly ex
pecting visit from the French
ambassador. 1t is known that he
has been informed of Spain's re-
ply and that it contains full ac-
ceptence of the Presidents terms
of peace.

We are very much grieved to
learn by the recent correspond

that the jackson silverware is
lost, or its place of deposit, anG
its possession, unknown and un-

his possession and we do so ask.
As far as we know, Col. Bland

without the permission of the sur.

positions both to Atlanta and
Nashville. Later he wrote us
each a postal card asking us to
vote to have the vase donated to
the Hermitage association, and
placed among the relics of Jack

against such a donation. We,
standing upon our rights, demand
that the will of Andrew Jackson

THE BRITISH LION AND

Extreme Diplomatic Tension Be
tween Great Powers-En-
glands Warlike Actively

London, Aug 6.-That extreme
diplomatic tension exists between
st Petersburg and London is
generally admitted today, though
the officials deprecate the alarmist
reports which were current YES
terday. 1t is hoped that the firm
er stand adopted by the Marquis
of Salisbury during the last few
days, which seemed to have al
ready created some misgiving at
st Petersburg, will have the de.
sired effect of arresting h .ss.an
aggressiveness, 1t is felt both
here and on the continent that the
outcome of the dispute in regard
to the new Chwang railroad ex
tension, is the crucial point of the
success or failure of Great Bri-
tian's policy of the "open door,
AS evidence of the fact that
Great Britain appreciates the
gravity of the situation, the AS
sociated Press learns that the
admiralty Is preparing for all
emergencies; that it will soon be
ready to mobilize tho entire feet
at the shortest notice. Every
officer and mar on furlough or ON
haIf pay has been assigned to a
ship and instructed to be in leadi,
ness to join at the earliest mo-
ment. Therefore, practically
every ship in the British navy,
whether in or ont of commission
at the present moment, has it's
full compliment of officers and
men ready to take her out to sea
when the time arrives.
According to Paris advices.
Admiral BedolIiere, commanding
the French China squadron, has
cabled a demand for reinforce
ments and for Il large credit to be
applied in erecting Notifications.
The reason given for these de-
mands is that the natives of
Kwang Chou Wang region are
showing signs of hostility. But
there is some suspicion here that
the action of the French admiral
may be connected with a desire to
back up Russian designs.
