"A general who was conducting a war in q
distant island wrote to the agricultural de-
ton OF acorns. When asked what he in.
tended to do with them he replied:
There is no shade in our trenches, and
the troops suffer from heat. A growth of
large oaks will add much to the comfort
of the men in the firing line"
He would have said more, but his atten.
tion was arrested by burst of song from

ports-The SuItan's Mother Given
Credit for Having Brought Her
sOn to Terms.

Manila, Aug. 25.-Gen. John c. Bates
has returned from the Sulu islands
with a treaty signed with the sultan.
The sultan agrees to all the American
terms proposed, and recognizes the alb
solute sovereignty of the United
States, which, the authorities declare,
he never did for Spain.
Diplomatic Victory.
An important clause of the treaty
gives Americans the right to purchase
land. We retain all the ports which
the Spanish occupied, and reserve the
right TO open others at our discretion.
The sultan collects no revenues, but
will receive an annual salary, main
tanning law and order. Several of the
principal chiefs also are saiaried.
The sultan's mother is largely re-
sponsible for the happy termination
of affairs. Gen. Bates had diplomatic
ally gained :he friendship of all the
powerful chiefs in Mindanao, Basilan.
Sulu, Siassi and Tawitawi, and, had
the sultan rebelled, his overthrow
could have been easily accomplished.
For the present, at least, it is a
great diplomatic victory.
