o WAR IS ENDED. 9

WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-The
war with Spain has come to it's
end. After over three months of
hOstiliues, during which American
arms have won glory and renOwn,
with corresponding humiliation and
defeat for the Spanish foe, the rep
reSentatiVeS of each country today
affixed their signatures to the pro-
tocOl, putting an end to the con-
test at arms between the two ma
tiOnS. The document which term
mated the war was signed by Sec
retary of State Day, on behalf of
the United States, and by NJ. Cam
bon, French ambassador at Wash
ingtOn, on behalf of Spain.
AS a result of the war the Amer
lean flag floats over islands in both
the East and West Indies. The rule
of Spain in the Western Hemi-
sphere becomes a thing of the past.
Cuba is free, while Porto Rico and
all other West Indian islands come
under the dominion or protectorate
of the United States. The victor in
the fight has the choice of an
island in the LadrOneS, and retains
possession of the city and bay of
Manila. The war undoubtedly
hastened the annexation of Hawaii,
completing an island chain from
the Pacific Coast to the Orient,
which it is believed Will result in
mutual benefit to American COM
merce.

to write as essay on 'The Mouth. -
He wrote:
"Your mouth is the front door to

cold storage of your anatomy. Some
mouths look like peaches and cream |;
some look like hole in a brick wall
to admit a new door or window.
The mouth is the hot-bed for tooth
ache and. bung hole of oratory. The
mouth is the crimson aisle to our

Whole Family Drowned.

J. j. Chohand, of Rof, I. T., was
in Eufala recently looking for in
formation as to his lost child. On
May Z, of this year, Mr.. Chohand's
wife and little daughter were cross
ing the South Canadian river in q
wagon at a point in the Chickasaw
nation, and as the river was high,
the team and wagon were washed
away and all were drowned except
the little girl who managed to get on
a log that was floating near by and
when she was last seen was still
clinging to the log. Mr.. Chohand,
the heart-broken father, heard ru-
mors of the rescue of his child at
several places along the river, but
can get nothing definite. He is a
poor man and has offered S25 90, all
he can pay, for information that will
lead to the return of his little girl.
This is q pitiful case indeed, as the
chances are that the little girl was
also drowned, but the grief stricken
father fondly cIings to the hope
that his child was saved and is still
prosecuting the search for his lost
darling. Journal.

Do Not Depend on Divers Alone.

Havana, via Key West, Fla, March
A naval officer here to-day, in re-
ply to a suggestion that it was a pity
such an important decision as the YER
dict of the court of inquiry into the
Maine explosion should rest solely up
on the testimony of divers, who seem
ed men Of only average intelligence,
replied:
1.-The court of inquiry has not had to
depend upon divers testimony alone" !"
then realizing that he had said more
than he intended, the officer resumed
his habitual reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony of Lieutenant Command
er Wainwright was highly important,
as bearing on the question of the ex-
istence of submarine mines. The gov
ernment has employed an expert pho
tographer. now in Havana, who will
send to the Navy Department in Wash
ington photographs of armor plates
and different portions of the wreck
Immediately upon recovery from the

AN UNIDENTIFIED BODY FOUND.
Brought to Key West and Laid Away with
Military Honors.

Key West, Fla, March 3.-An un-
identified body from the Maine wreck
was brought here this morning on
board the coast survey steamer Bache.
One gun division from the United
States cruiser Marblehead, under the
command of Lieutenant Anderson, re
ceived the remains. Only a small
number of people gathered at the dock.
A hearse was in waiting, but it proved
to be too small for the coffin, which
was then taken to the city cemetery,
covered with the stars and stripes, in
a plain wagon. The body was buried
in the cemetery with the honors usu-
ally accorded dead sailor.
Lupkins, Waters, Shea and Hoffron
wounded men of the Maine, were
brought here from the Tortugas on the
Bache and We're taken to the bar
racks. They were all doing well. The
five additional survivors who were
left at the Tortugas by the Bache are
still making progress toward recov-
cry.
Judge Advocate Mark was the only
officer Of the court of inquiry on shore
to-day. Captain Sampson remained
on board the Iowa and Captain Chad
wick and Lieutenant Commander Pot
ter on the New York. Even the stem
ographers took holiday.
Some hitch has occurred in the plans
of the court, though 1t had been un-
derstood that the members are await

NEWS FROM SKAGUAY
DISPUTE OVER THE BOUNDARY.
Canadians Encroaching on American Ter
ritory-soldiers Present Bayonets to

Seattle, Wash, March Alive
steamers arrived from Alaska to-day
the Utopia, Hueneme, Del Norte, Pro-
lection and Queen. The Queen brought
the latest news, having left Skaguay
last Sunday. The most important news
brought down was a confirmation OF
previous reports that the Canadian Of
fcials had raised the British flag on
what is regarded as American soil,
and of trouble at Skaguay with long
shoremen, who objected to Indians un-
loading freight from steamers. The
presence of United States troops alone
prevented serious trouble. A compro-
mise was made with the white men,
to perform the work at so cents per
hour. 1t is feared that serious trouble
will grow out of the Canadians at
tempt to collect duty on the summit of
the White and Chilkoot passes, and
the Americans will resist payment on
what they consider American ground.
Another complication will result from
the various tramways which are be-
ing constructed to carry freight over
the passes. The officials of these tram
ways are reported to have declared
that any interruption with their con-
struction work or any attempt to ex-
ercise any right of ownership will be
resisted. 1t is thought at Dyea and
Skaguay that the movements Of the
American authorities will be to claim
sovereignty over those two places. Last
summer the boundary line was at
Lake Bennett. then at Lindermann,
and now at the summit of the noun
tains, which is only about twenty
miles from salt water.
Two days before the Queen left
Skaguay the wind, which had blown
from the north continuously for seven
weeks shifted and began to blow from
the southwest, causing a general thaw
to set in. The change in the weather
caused hundreds of people who had
been detained by the severe cold to
start over the trails from both Skag-
uay and Dyea. and when the steamer
left a general exodus from both towns
was taking place. Both trails are re-
ported in excellent condition.

IDcrease In Custona

Washington, March 3.-Secretary
Gage was the subject of congratula-
tion at the Cabinet meeting this morn
ing because of the encouraging appear
ance of the treasury statement for
February. which shows surplus of
Sl,973,1O2. For the first time in six
years the receipts of the government
have exceeded its expenses for that
month";, and prospects are that the
same showing may be made for March.
Inc increase in receipts is interpreted
as evidence OF the general revival of
prosperity, exceeding any that has
been enjoyed since 1892. as well as a
sign that the customs revenues are an
preaching normal condition.

do what we may, we cannot avoid
the possibility of war over Cuba. And,

people, while wishing and praying for
peace, must make every preparation
for war.
Let President Mckinley hesitate to

ty will be the crown Of thorns' the free

"And who can doubt, that. held aloft
by such orators as William Jennings
Bryan, it will sweep this country like
a cyclone?
"In such a campaign, organized un-
der such a leadership, the war spirit
will be inflamed to such a degree that
all other issues would be ignored, and
Congress, in both branches, would fall
into the hands of the free silver Dem
ocracy.

NINE PERSONS DROWNED.
DeplOrable Accident to q Schooner in

Key West, Fla, March 4.-The
schooner Speedwell, Captain Collier.
from Marco, Florida, for Key West,
was struck by squall to-day Off Mar
uuesas, eighteen miles from here, and
capsized.
Nine persons We're drowned out of
thirteen on board.
Among the victims were three chill
dren of Captain Collier, George, Tom
and Wilbur, aged respectively 4, . and
8, and the entire Nichols family, Brad
ley Nichols and his wife, their son and
the latter's wife, and two grand-chil-
dren. The family was from Bridge
port, Connecticut.
Those saved were Captain Collier:
Samuel Gates. deck hand; Jesse Green,
deck hand; r. w. Bates Of Myers,
Florida, a passenger.
The Nichols family is said to have
been well-to-do. All had been staying
for a month at a small hotel kept by
Captain Collier at Marco, and they
were on their way home.
The survivors say the Speedwell was
making slow headway this morning
against head wind. About o'clock
Captain Collier was at the wheel and
the Nichols family and the Collier chill
dren were in the cabin asleep.
Suddenly the squall came bowling
up abeam. Gates and Green rushed to
take in sail. AS the jfb tapped loose.
the squall caught the schooner and
blew her over on the port side. Collier,
the deck hands and Mr.. Bates were
swept into the sea, but caught the
rigging just in time to save them
selves. The wind, rain and waves
drowned the dying cries Of the impris-
oned Nichols family and the Collier
children.
They were penned in down below
like rats. The wife of the young Mich
OILS rose to the skylight. She waved
her hand to the men in the rigging.
