FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1898.

THE more of a good thing a man gets the more he wants. Here is Governor-elect Sayres, of Texas, grumbling in Washington because his measly majority of 200,000 wasn't 300,000.

DECEMBER 25 of this year Rear Admiral Bunce will be retired and George Dewey will become the ranking officer of the United States Navy. Then congress could not do a more graceful thing than to put into the hero's stocking, Christmas morning, a commission of a- full admiral.

THE Cuban soldiers gave very little help to the American troops at Santiago. A London correspondent, writing of the campaign, grasps the situation very accurately when he speaks of visiting a camp "filled with members of the Red Cross Society, Cuban insurgents and other noncombatants."

FIVE railroads having their chief offices in Chicago have just placed orders with the Illinois Steel Company for thousands of tons of steel railB. This indicates prosperity for the roads, and the railroads of America have never been, and can not be, prosperous unless the industrial classes are prosperous.

THE city of New York has just sold 81,725,000 gold bonds, bearing 3% per cent, interest, at from 6 to 8 per cent, above par, and the amount was subscribed fifteen times over. This shows that the banks are groaning with money seeking investment. Measured by the rate of interest, money was never so cheap as it is at present, and it is sure enough money at that. Nobody in this country who has credit will have the least difficulty in securing at a low rate of interest all the money his credit will bear.

A PUBLIC INSTITUTION.

The Y. M. C. A. lecture course is in the nature of a public institution and therefore deserves hearty support on that ground. If entertainments of such merit fail to pay their way in Crawfordsville it is serious reflection on the boasted enterprise and culture of the town. The Y. M. C. A. does not try to make money out of the course but aims only to make enough to pay the necessary expenses and to give Crawfordsville just as high a grade as the people will pay for. The whole matter rests with the public. The man agement last year cleared exactly $27 and confess to some mistakes which are having their effect on the patronage this year. But so far we have heard of no complaints of this year's plan of seat distribution. But the prospects are that the course will lose money unless the attendance at the next four entertainments is increased. We therefore feel justified in urging a heartier support of this public enterprise for the remainder of this season to the end 'that the management may feel encouraged to give us a still better course next year.

Accident to Christopher Dice. Tuesday Christopher Dice, who resides east of the city near the Shiloh church, met with a very painful accident. He fell from a load of fodder nine feet to the ground and waB rendered unconscious for awhile.

It

was

thought at first that he was seriously if

not

fatally injured, but it later developed that not even any boneB were broken. He will be laid up for a season, however.

What a Doctor Biyi,

PANA, 111., Jan. 11, 1898.—Gents:—I have used many medicines but think I got the best results from your Syrup Pepsin. One other member of my family also used it with the same happy effect. The complaint for which we used the Syrup was a stomach trouble called in the books GaBtralgia, a great deal of acid eructations (belchings) with flatulence of the stomach.

ARTICLES OF PEACE

Secretaries Moore and Ojeda Present Their Work to the Commissioners

ODTLINES OF THE TREATY

First Three Articles Mutually Agreed. Upon— Political Prisoners to Be Released by Spain Now In Exile—Both.

Commissions Adjourn to Consult Their Home Governments.

Paris, Dec. 1.—When the Spanish and American peace commissioners met in joint session yesterday afternoon, Secretaries Moore and Ojeda laid before the commissioners the outlines of the treaty, of which there are 18 articles, covering the following subjects: 1. The relinquishment of sovereignty over and claim of title to Cuba. 2. The cession of Porto liico and other Spanish possessions In the \W,st Indies, together with Guam in the Ladrones. 8. The cession of the Philippines. 4. The terms of the evacuation of the Philippines. 5. The pledge of the United States to preserve order in the Philippines pending the ratification of the treaty. 6. The release of military prisoners mutually. 7. The cession by Spain to the Island of Kusae, or Strong island, in the Carolines. 8. The mutual relinquishment of indemnity claims. 9. The religious freedom of the Carolines, assuring the rights of American missionaries there. 10. Cable landing rights at points within the Spanish jurisdiction. 11. The release by Spain of political prisoners for offenses in Cubn and the Philippines. 12. The pledgo of the United States to i*uugurate in the Philippines an "open door" policy and to guarantee the same to Spain for at least 12 years. 13. A revival of the treaties broken by the win*.

The first three articles were mutually fyjjfeed upon, as was also the article emrodying the terms of the evacuation of the Philippines, which will be practically the same as in the evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico. The mutual release of military prisoners was agreed upon, Spain liberating the rebel prisoners and the United States liberating the Manila garrison and the Spaniards held by Aguinaldo. he political prisoners to be released by Spain are such as are now in exile at Ceuta, in Morocco, or at other Spanish penal settlements.

Daily sessions will be held hereafter and it is now believed that the work may be possibly concluded this week, although so early a termination is not probable.

The foregoing list of subjects under consideration does not show the precise order in which the articles were laid before the Spanish commissioners yesterday, and, in fact, only eight of the 13 articles were discussed. Four points arose about which the Spaniards desired to consult Madrid, and two upon which the Americans will consult Washington.

After the session and the departure of the Spanish commissioners the Americans remained in the conference ehaniber,for an hour in executive session.

HANNIS TAYJJOR.

Scathing Criticism of the AVorK of American Peace Commissioners. New York, Dec. 1.— Hannis Taylor, late American minister to Spain, publishes a scathing criticism of the work of the American peace commission.

Mr. Taylor contends that in the negotiations with Spain respecting Cuba, Porto Eico and the Philippines, the members of the commission should have been guided by the precedent established by this country in its dealings with Mexico after the victorious issue of the Mexican war. Then, he says, we refused, as Mexico lay helpless at our feet, to take from lier a single square mile of territory by right of conquest. Our commissioners were instructed to offer her $15,000,000 in cash and the assumption upon our part of more than $3,000,000 due from her to American citizens, as compensation for the area out of which has been carved California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah and New Mexico. "And thus," says Mr. Taylor, "was established a new principle of moral law which stands alone, perhaps, In the annals of nations."

The arrangement which has been concluded by the American commission, Mr. Taylor characterizes as "A vast ravishment." "We have refused arbitration. We have summarily demanded the surrender of the entire Philippine archipelago and as a salve to Spain, we have tendered $20,000,000. "The war has cost us directly about $105,000,000, and as compensation for that outlay, we have appropriated Porto Rico, which can hardly be valued at much less than double that amount. It is difficult to understand, therefore, •why, in dealing with Cuba and the Philippines we should have been unwilling to recognize those reasonable and natural equities which follow acquired territory. "In the case of the Philippines we have admitted that, so far as the debts of these islands represent expenditures for the improvement of the country, they must 'run with the land' and constitute a charge upon it. Upon what grounds have we rejected the application of that elementary principle of law and common honesty to the case of Cuba

In the case of Cuba, as well as

in that of the Philippines, the amount of pacific expenditures made by Spain for the permanent improvement of the island should have been recognized as a legal charge upon it."

Weather.

Indiana—Generally fair.

BLANCO GONE

Tong-nee Are Loosened, and the Vormer Captain General Is Scored. Ilavan, Dec. 1.—Now that Captain General Blanco is gone tongues are loosened and he is openly accused of weakness and lack of character. He is made responsible for the reverses of the campaign and the final result of the war, as the corrupt instrument of the corrupt and unprincipled few who rule the destinies of Spain.

In support of such charges it is pointed out that, though, he had. 160,000 men at his disposal, he withheld reinforcements from Santiago, and that, while deceiving people by announcements that General Pando had left for eastern provinces at the head of a powerful army, no such movement was even contemplated, Pando, instead leaving secretly for a tour in Central America, ostensibly on a diplomatic mission, the exact import of which has never been actually explained. Finally, his countrymen make him answerable for the destruction of Oervera's squadron, laying at his door a command that Admiral Cervera should make a dash out of Santiago harbor.

BOYS ARE KICKING

Inmates of Soldiers' Home In Pennsylvania Appeal to the Governor. Philadelphia, Deo. 1.—State Senator Perry A. Gibson of the Erie county district yesterday met Governor Hastings at the Stratford hotel, this city, by appointment, and laid before him quit® a lengthy petition which the senator had received from inmates of the Soldiers' and Sailors' home at Erie, Pa. The petition prayed the senator to take steps to recover for them pension money which they had received from the national government and which they allege has been illegally taken from them by the trustees of the institution at Erie. They claim that since this rule was promulgated in 1885 nearly $100,000 has been taken from inmates on the plea that it is used for dependent relatives of pensioners. The signers say they have no dependent relatives and think the money should be repaid them.

FATHER'S CRIME0 Compels His Daughter to Write His Will and Kills Her.

Dubuque, la., Dec. 1.—John Gross yesterday shot and killed his daughter Tillie, and shot himself dead at his home near Decorah. The daughter was about to leave home against her father's wishes. At his request she wrote his will and signed over her share to her mother. Immediately afterward he attacked her with a club. Her brother answered her cries for help, but was driven off. The father then shot her through the head and stomach and broke the stock of the gun over her head. Securing another gun Gross Mew the top of his own head off. His -wife saved her life by running away. Before committing suicide he burned the will he had compelled his daughter to wrij^.

PROTESTING INDIANS Do Not Like the Way the Agent Compels Them to Obey Rules.

Washington, Dec. 1.—The large delegation of Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians, who have been here some clays, had a long conference behind closed doors with Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jongs late yesterday afternoon. They made a protest against the Indian agent in charge of the reservation, protesting among other things against his making them live on their allotments, and his methods of issuing rations and other enforcements of the rules and policy of the agency. Though agreeing to consider the statements made, the officials are inclined to sustain the agent as acting in the best interests of the In dians.

SPANISH CIVIL WAR

Senor

Sagasta Admits Carlism Is Spain's Greatest Danger.

CARLIST PLANS DEYISED

Have Even Appointed a Governor of Madrid Pope Leo Tries to Head Off Hostilities by Proposing the

Marriage of Prince Jamie to a Bavarian Princess.

Madrid, Dec. 1.—The government lias received an important dispatch from th« Philippine islands in which it is stated that Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, demands $1,600,000 for the release of the imprisoned friars.

Senor Sagasta, who has hitherto been sceptical on the point, now admits that Caiiism is the greatest existing danger to Spain. The authorities are seriously

filarmed

at the indications of an immi­

nent rising. The Oarlist plans have been elaborately devised, even to the extent of appointing a governor of Madrid.

Lieutenant General Correa, minister of war, declares that the government has 140,000 troops in readiness to take the field in the event of a Carlist rising and will soon have 200,000 available. He says, however, he does not believe that the Carlists intend to move yet.

Four hundred guns, which were being smuggled, have been seized in a Basque village.

Don Carlos, in his forthcoming manifesto, will make a strong appeal to tho army. The Carlists disagree among themselves as to the advisability of an immediate movement. The military element is impatient, but the civilians urge the uselessness of an attempt to rise until the Carlists are assured of tb" help of the army.

Advices from Bilbao, Spain, refer to the rigorous anti-Carlist precautions taken in that district. The convents, it appears, are particularly watched. Portraits of Don Carlos and Don Jaime, his son, have been widely distributed. A small band of Carlists have appeared near Alcala, in the province of Castellon de La Plan, and is being pursued by gendarmes.

It is asserted here that a marriage has been arranged between Dou Jaime, son of the Spanish pretender, Don Carlos, and a Bavarian princess.

POPE ALARMED.

Over the Prospect of Civil War In Spain. Rome, Dec. 1.—The Pope has been so much impressed by the alarm expressed by the papal nuncio at Madrid at the possibility of civil war that, -with the consent of the queen regent and with a view of avoiding bloodshed, he has opened negotiations with Don Carlos, proposing that Don Jaime, the pretender's sou, should marry Princess Mary of Asturias.

SUNDAY CLOSING Santiago Merchants Petition General Wood to Abolish an Old I jaw.

Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 1.—General Wood has received numerous letters from residents of San Luis, where the recent outrages by negro soldiers were committed, claiming to have been eyewitnesses and offering to testify at the inquiry, which is to take place at an early date. General Wood has strong hopes that some of the guilty men concerned may be identified.

Several merchants have petitioned for permission to close their stores on Sunday. Under the Spanish law they are compelled to keep them open until noon. General Wood grants all such requests. He has also issued a special order directing that the liquor saloons be kept closed on that day.

The supreme court, recently organized by the addition of two jurists of high repute, opened today. At the request of Chief Justice Echeverria, General Wood was present.

S A LVADOR UPRISING United States of Central America Receives a Death-Blow.

Washington, Dec. 1.—The uprising in Salvador has reached the dimensions of a revolution in the judgment, of officials and diplomats familiar with affairs in that quarter. President Guttierrea has given way to General Regalado, who has formed a provisional government. The changes are construed by some of them aa a deathblow to the newly formed republic, known as the United States of Central America, composed of Salvador, Nicaragua and Honduras, one of whose main purposes was to provide a joint military force for common defence against uprisings, but other diplomats take just the reverse view.

Union a Failure.

Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 1.—The attempt to effect a coalition between the states of Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador, to be conducted under a common administration and known as the United States of Central America, has failed completely.

Rations For Cubans.

Washington, Dec. 1.—The Comal will sail today from New York to Savannah where she will complete the loading of 1,500,000 rations for the destitute people of Cuba. The Bratton is now unloading 100 tons of provisions in the province of Pinar del Rio.

Oregon and Iowa.

Washington, Dec. 1. The Oregon and Iowa have been ordered to proceed from Montevideo to Valparaiso, where further ordwa will await them. Their future destination will be determined by event*.

Window Fanes of Shells.

Most of the houses and offices in Manila have tiny panes of translucent shells for glass. An average window six feet long hy four wide contains about 260 of such panes, which temper the heat of the sun, the shells being very low conductors of heat. They also prevent the blindness which is induced by the fierce glare of the sun in that part of the world.
