Washington, April 12.-The condi-
tion OF war which has existed between
the United States and Spain since
April 81, 1898, terminated yesterday,
Nhen the last formalites in the erestora-
tion OF peace were performed by the
exchange of ratifications of the peace
treaty. Coincident with this President
Mckinley issued his proclamation de-
claring that the war was at an end.
and the appointment of Belamy Storer
was determined upon as United States
minister to Spain.
Mr. Storer is now United States
minister to Belgium. His selection for
the Madrid mission is distinct pro-
moton in the diplomatic line. The
difference in compensation is not con-
siderable, but the new minister to
Madrid will have very important duties
TO perform, including the early nego-
tiaton Of a general treaty of trade and
COmmlty
Bellamy Storer, who Is a Catholic,
is 81 years of age, having been born
,in Cincinnati in 1s47. He was gradu-
hted from Harvard in 1867 and two
,years later from the law school of
Cincinnati college. He entered public
life as member of the Fifty-first con-
Srsss from the First Ohio district, was
Se-elccted to the Fifty-third con-
Grass and was member of the foreign
affairs committee. He is a man of
large private means.

The snperstructure connected the North

distance and tOppled into tho river When
1t went down tho upright crashed into the

The contract for tho erection of the

or by Our Troops.
Manila, April l2.--At about midnight
the rebels cut the telegraph line at
several places between here and Malo-
los and signal tlres were lighted and
rockets sent up along the foothills to
the right of the railroad. Later the
enemy attacked the outposts of the
Minnesota regiment between Bigaa
and Bocave, five miles south of Malo-
los, killing two men and wounding IA.
simultaneously the outposts of the
Oregon regiment at Marilao, the next
station on the way to Manila, were at
tackled. with the result that three
Americans were killed and two wound
ed. The loss OF the enemy was ten
men killed and six wounded. The
Americans also captured two prisoners
II is supposed that many of the
rebels who attacked General .MacAr-
thurs line Of communication and who
were repulsed By the troops command
ed by General Wheaton were natives
who entered that region in the guise
of frendlies. They had seemingly Sc
creted arms in several places, and
fired on the Americans from the
bushes at so close a range that they
could be heard talking One of the
Filipinos yelled In English: I'VE will
give you damned Americans enough
of this before we are through"
The rebels undermined the railroad
at Mariiao and unspikcd the rails in
an effort to wreck train, while the
railroad gang participated in the
fight. The work Of the rebels was dis
covered and repaired before the train
arrived.
General Wheaton is preparing to
punish the Filipinos.
The military gunboats Napidan and
Laguna de Bay captured small un-
armed Spanish gunboat and three
launches in the Santa Cruz river.
1t is now known that 90 insurgents
were killed during the capture of
Santa Cruz.

that this will be done. as a very ia
yorable opinion of him is held here.
The effect of yesterdays action is to
completely renew the peaceful rela-
tinns, trade, official, diplomatic, con-
Sular, and in all other ways, between
this country and Spain. Following the
appointment OF a United States min
ister to Madrid and a Spanish min

that consuls will lie sent to Barcelona

why he left Pana when he did to take

sheriff acknowledged that many of his
special deputies wore as anxious as
anybody to kill the prisoner. To this
the governor said:
you fell down when you left the
scene Of battle and left your deputies

One day young recruit was standing

Peter the Greats private chambers in the
Palace of St Petersburg He had received
orders to admit no one
As he was passing slowly up and down
before the door, Prince Menschikotf, the
favorite minister of the czar, approached
and attempted to enter. He was stopped by
the recruit
The prince who had the fullest liberty
OF calling upon his master at any time,
sought to push the guard and pass him.
Yet the young man would not move but
ordered his highncss to stand back
You idiot shouted the prince "Dont

this"
The recruit smiled and said:
Every well, your highncss, but my or.
ders are perrmptory to let nobody pass
The prince, exGspcrated at the fellows
impudcnce, struck him a blow in the face
with his riding whip.
"Strike away, your highness," said the
soldier, but l cannot let you go in. "
Peter in the room, hearing the noise
outside, opened the door, and inquired
what it meant, and the prince told him.
Tho car appeared amused, but said
nothing at the time.
In the evening, however, he sent for the
prince and the soldier. As they both ap.
pearcd Peter gave his own cane to the SOL
