The fret ohiciai action of the govern
ment in reference to the ratification OIL
the peace treaty was to notify the
French Embassy in Washington OF that
fact. This was done by Secretary Hay
in diplomatic note. The French En-
bassy is the official representative Of
Spanish interests in the United States,
and as the State Department does not
maintain diplomatic intercourse with
Spain, the Communication served az
formal notification to the Spanish gov
ernment that the treaty had been rati-
fed Having complied with the require
ments of courtesy in the matter, the
State Department will not have any
further indirect communication with
Spain on the subject of the treaty, un"
til the Spanish Cortes follows tho ex-
emple of the United States Senate in
ratifying it. Shortly after they had
been advised by President Mckinley OF
the Senate's action Secretaries Alger
and Long sent brief cable messages to
General Oils and Admiral Dewey con-
tanning the news.
a dispatch from Washington says: "Imme'
date steps were taken yesterd. y evening to

THE SCHOOLS

Reports received at the Office of the
Superintendent of Public Instruction
indicate that his is to be q record
breaking year in the history ofthe pub
lie school sys en- of Virginia.
1.-The reports thus far received are
OF of character to show the average
attendance accurately" said DR.. ] W.
Southall, Superintendent of Public H.
struction, yesterday. 'iout it is believed
to be considerably larger than in pre-
ceding years. I have visited great
many counties of the State during the
fall and winter and have been in very
many schools. I find in many in
stances the attendance much increased
over last year.
"In many counties the length of the
term is increased" continued DR..
Southall. "Five months is the usual
length of the term of the average
country school, but in a number OF the
counties they are running six and
seven months, with fine attendance. 1t
used to be that it was a difficult mat
ter to run our schools five months,
and in many cases four months, or
even three months was the length OF
the school term. l hope 10 see the time
when every public school in Virginia
will be open nine mouths every year.
II am struck with the improvement
in Virginia teachers" DR.. Southall
went on. "Taken as whole they are
doing fine work. Recently [ have Wis
tied a great many CT the country
schools of the State and ia many in
stances have found highly educated
and we'll trained young men and
women instructiug the children of the
neighborhood in the rudiments of the
public school course.
II was at Hampton yesterday" con-
tinued Dr. Southall, "and made an ad.

tuition. l do not know when l have

about the grounds inspecting the build
ings and went through the buildings
