Through her messenger Spain said she was weary of fighting and begged the president to listen to propositions for pesco. There was only one answer possible for the executive for 2S.OQ9.OM lovers of peace. Präsident McKinley gracious! consented to listen to the plea of the vanquished enemy. M. Cambon did not sugfiest any terms and the president did not offer any. The next move must come from Spain. She must ask either for the terms of the United States or for the appointment of commissioners to discuss terms. M. Cambon doubtless notified Spam immediately of President M.Kinley's willingness to make peace, but it was night in Madrid when his message reached the Spanish capital. If Spain is sincere in her desire to end the disasters to her arms she will act promptly and may be heard from again tomorrow.

SHOOT ER, PORTO RICO. THE CAROLINE ISLANDS. Tin island possessions of Spain in the Pacific include the Philippines, the Lad nne or Marianne, and the Caroline groups. i The Caroline group lies east of the Philippines, and stretches from east i to west a distance of about two thousand miles. The largest Islands ara Kusaie. Ponape. Rug and Yap. Religious people In America have COL ROBERT P. RALSTON. lima felt an Interest In these Islands, ; because a large part of the Mieronesian work of UiH American Board of Commissioners for Poreifn Missions for nearly fifty years has been done there; and the missionary ship, th Morning 1 . .-.tar, which was built largely by the contributions of American hoys and girts, ha sailed i:i and out among these islands, carrying the missionaries their supplies and thei- long-de-hiycd tiinils. The story of the Christian ization ot the people of these islands resembles that of Hawaii, and Dative Hawaiian Christians have from the ftrst co-op-erated with American missionaries in It When tii'- work began in 1852, the Caroline islander.-- were savages, and many of them cannibals; but in lSs, more than thirty of the islands vara occupied by native Christian teachers, and there were nearly fifty churches, with about 4,309 nsembera. Spain had long :v.;:in a gem ral clafha to ownership of these Islands by right of discovery, but it was not until 1SS7, aftor the pope aetin? as arbitrator, had assignea tne Mieronesian groups to different powers, thai she sent a man-of-war to assert rights of sovereignty. Here as elsewhere in their COtoniaJ administration the Spaniards were oppressive and cruel. The natives twice rose in rebellion against them and have never been wholly submitted. Commerically, these islands are not of great importance; but if the war were to free them from Spain, it would probably be a benefit to the people. who have distinctly deteriorated .since the Spaniards established themselves there.
