To call a man a phrasemakérT is in most cases a strong intimation that he is nothing else, and also that the characterization is usually resented by its subject.

- SPAIN’S POSITION. ; Capitulation of Manila Must Have No Effect in the Peace N:gotiations Unfavorable to Her, . Madrid, Aug. 20.—The 'government has resolved to insist that the capitulation of Manila after the signing of the protocol should have no effect in the peace mnegotiations unfavorable to Spain. In any event the government holds that the capitulation, having ‘been signed by the commander of the town, does not entail the surrender of the whole of the Philippines. . Madrid, Aug. 20.—The cabinet is discussing the instructions to be given the Spanish peace commissioners. Premier Sagasta said Friday: “The question is extremely complicated. Spain renounces sovereignty over Cuba and Puerto Rico, but will claim her property there, such as national buildings, barracks, prisons, lands belonging to the state; ports, machinery in the arsenals and all similar property. It is also a question what to do with the present inmates of prisons and criminals and civil proceedings now pending in the courts, but these may befsettled by the Cuban military commission;- Another great problem is the Cuban debt.‘““Regarding Manila, I consider its surrender null and void, since it was made after signing the protocol. - The Paris conference will settle this, and also arrange commercial treaties by which Spanish goods may obtain tariff advantages in Cuba and Puerto Rico in exchange for similar advantages being given the Americans in the Philippines.” g i It .is hinted that Spain may ask indemnity for the cession of property and railroads in Cuba and Puerto Rico. : A: Murder Myntefy. o Detroit, Mich., Aug. 20.—The body of Valmore C.

An Ambitious Young Soldier Who . Thought He Was Born - ‘to. Command.

Elmer Campbell was the greenest and most ambitious-raw recruit in Col. Hartigan’s reg- ! iment -of Tigers. The young man was the best type of the “hay-foot, straw-foot” soldier in the ranks, and yet he was more anxious than anyone to become an officer. He pleaded with the .colonel so long that the latter finally told him if he would secure a book on tactics and master it he should ‘ have the first chance to show what he could do when there was a vacaney among the officers. Campbell bought a book on tactics ' and stayed up late at night to learn its contents. ; .

_“Forward, column right (or left, as the case may be), march.” ) ‘ That was the form of the orders in the book. - Campbell learned these by heart, parentheses and all. He even committed the explanatory notes to memory. He was master of that book of tactics and military life began»to take on a roseate hue in his eyes. One day the colonel called the men out for drill and told Cam%)bell he could try‘his hand at giving orders if he wished. "Campbell “wished,” and immediately took the position opposite the head of his co]umn,ew%ich the book had told him was the proper thin to do. Then he swelled his chest a trifle, ang with a blush of pride called out: . “Forward, column, right or left, as the case may be, march.” o The column prepared to turn right asthat word “was utttered, but when “left as the case may be’’ reached the ears of the men they stood stock still. Then, as the situation explained -itself, a hearty laugh went all along ‘the line. The colonel quieted -the ‘commotion; walked ‘over to the recruit, and made a few earnest remarks in Campbell’s €ars. ! £ .
