THE MAIL.

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

A. C. DUDDLESTON, Editor and Proprietor.

Publication Office, No. 501*4 Ohio Street. Telephone 460.

The Mail is sold in the city by newsboys and all newsdealers, or will be delivered to any address, by mail, at the rate of |2 a year, $1 for six months, or 50 cents for three months.

Entered at the Postofflce at Terre Haute, Ind., as second-class matter.

Spain wants peace at any price—providing she can name the price.

IT was demonstrated this week that the King of Spain can take something. He has the measles.

Isr his official report on the destruction of the Spanish fleet Admiral Sampson admits, without the least reserve, that Commodore Schley was there.

If the tone of Admiral Sampson's report on the Cervera fight is any indication of his temperament, there is no need of the government going to the expense of a refrigerating plant oh Sampson's flag ship.

SOME of our soldiers who are seeing service are going to have a good time after the war is over. "Teddy" Roosevelt is going to take his Rough Riders to the Paris exposition in 1900, and John Jacob Astor has promised the members of the Astor battery, now in the Phillipines, the same treat.

The outlook for a further revival of business seems promising. It is the general belief in administration circles that the war will not last more than two or three months. In that case no more soldiers will be called out and no more bonds will be issued. Tho general financial and industrial prospect is hopeful. Business in all branches is in a healthy state of activity, and probably in some branches the activity will increase after the war ends. The crop indications are good, the wheat yield being likely to exceed that of any other year, and that of corn promising to .equal the highest previous figures. With big crops and fair prices for the products, the farmers will prosper, and prosperity for them means general prosperity.

Spain has finally come to a realization of the hopelessness of her cause, and through the French ambassador at Washington has sued for peace. The president and his cabinet spent the day yesterday in agreeing upon the terms that should be offered Spain, and have decided on the following propositions: Independence to be demauded for Cuba Porto Rico to be ceded to the United States coaling stations to be acquired at Guam, in the Ladrone islands, and one iu the Caroline islands. Tho question of the disposal of the Philippines is the point upon which it seems difficult to agree. They will discuss the matter again to-day, and it is understood that an answer to Spain's proposal will be delivered to the French ambassador to-day. Ont) thing is decided finally, and that is that the powers will not be consulted in the settlement of the Philippine question, and that neither of them will bo permitted to dictate to the United States what shall or shall not be done in the settlement of this question. There will be no armistice or cessation of hostilities during the continuance of the peace negotiations, and while they are in progress General Miles and his Porto Iiican army of occupation continue to advance towards the capital of tho island, San Juan, which is expected to make a stubborn resistance. The city and port of Ponce ou the southern coast have surrendered without a fight, and the people of the city, which is larger than Terre Haute, received the

position

Advance

of the

American troops with wild enthusiasm.

THE result of the war thus far, and the possible outcome of the peace negotiations now in progress, opeus up a wide field for discussion as to the best future foreign policy of the United States. It promises to become the burning question in future political movements and may possibly make new alignments between the leading parties. To that end the call of the Civic Federation of Chicago for a convention at Saratoga next month to discuss our foreign policy will doubtless result in much good, and the opinions presented at that convention, which will be composed of the leading men of the country in a business and commercial way, will receive the earnest attention of the president and his advisers. The call for the meeting says, among other things "The war with Spain gives promise of the overthrow of Spanish power in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and other of that country's colonial possessions. The question of what disposition the United States should make of these possessions when peace is reached is none too soon in engaging the thought of our people. The question impresses us as beiug one of the most serious the American people have had to consider. It is a new question, and one upon which hereto' fore very little thought has been bestowed by the great majority of our people. Whether the foreign policy of the •fathers' should be adhered to or departed from is enough to challenge the most serious consideration of onr ablest and most thought ful men. In our opinion, this conference should, be composed of men from all parts of the country, without regard to party affiliations md irrespective of whether they are for or against a policy of territorial expansion, and men whose ability,

and character entitle their opin­

ions to the respectful consideration of the people.*'

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages and that is catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials. Address, F. J.

aayou are well posted in all

the adulterations practiced' In food products, liquors and beers, can you tell us anything about beer adulterations

Yep. I can. If the^ public would have access to some of the brewery plants, and see the amount of Inferior articles used to make the stuff they are drinking in place of good, wholesome beer, such as can be made at a fair profit. Instead of good barley malt, pure hops, etc., there is used such stuff as iiomlny grits, glucose, and aloes.
