THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1897.
The end of the Cuban war is ap
parently tlrawing near. It is reported
that Secretary Olney has notified
Spain that unless she promptly proffers
full local self government to Cuba she
will face the immediate danger of a
recognition of Cuban independence.
Spain has at last concluded that all
her efforts to suppress the insurrection
are useless. Appreciating this fact
which has been apparent to all nations
for the past six months, Prime Minis
ter Canovas has definitely accepted
Secretary Olney's proffer of American
intervention, as well as the terms
which President Cleveland and Mr.
Olney prescribed as the price for
their interference and the use of their
prerogatives in attempting to bring
about a state of peace in Cuba. Mr.
Olney submitted in full to Senor
Canovas the terms for peace with
Cuba, upon which the Administration
was prepared to intervene and use its
efforts to bring about a settlement be
tween Spain and its colony. They
provide for home rule in Cuba, by
which Cuba is to govern herself ( col
lect all taxes ; disburse all public
money 5 Spain to be debarred from
all share in the revenues of the island,
and from all interference in elections.
A money remuneration to Spain for
this practical loss of the island is talk
ed of. What will come of these
negotiations remains to be seen.

Ho Ate Crow.
Probably the most unique banquet
that ever took place in Williamsport
occurred at the City Hotel at that
place on Monday niht, when Walter
Shooter, proprietor hostelry, devoured
the largest portion of a big crow in
payment of an election bet, says the
Gazette & in Net hi.
After the banquet a reporter called
on Mr. Shooter and asked him how it
lasted, lie replied that it was like
all other wild meat and did not taste
so baa as one would suppose, it
was the first time he had ever dined
on Crow.

Miners Made Destitute.
A sad state of affairs exists at
Girardville and Centraha by reason of
the abandonment and suspension of
the different mines in the neighbor
hood, and many of the families de
pending on coal mining have scarcely
enough to eat.
To keep them alive, the storekeep
ers had been supplying them up to a
short time ago, but the time arrived
when they were obliged to turn their
attention in their own direction, and
they found it impossible to keep up
their benevolent work any further and
thus distress falls upon hundreds.

TJNULE SAM AND JOHN BULL AT
PEACE.
President Cleveland sent the follow
ing message to the Senate Monday
afternoon transmitting the Anglo
American general arbitration treaty :
To the Senate I transmit here
with a treaty fot the arbitration of all
matters in difference between the
United States and Great Britain.
The provisions of the treaty are the
result of long and patient deliberation
and represent concessions made by
each party for the sake of agreement
upon the general scheme.
Though the result reached may
not meet the views of the advocates
of immediate, unlimited and irrevo
cable arbitration of all international
controversies, it is nevertheless, con
fidently believed that the treaty can
not fail to be everywhere recognized
as making a long step in the right
direction and as embodying a practi
cal, working plan by which disputes
between the two countries will reach
a peaceiul adjustment as matter of
course and in ordinary routine.
In the initiation of such an impor
tant movement it must be expected
that some of its features will assume a
tentative character looking to a
further advance and yet it is apparent
that the treaty which has t een formu
lated not only makes war between
the parties to it a remote possibility
but precludes those fears and rumors
of war which of themselves too often
assume the proportions of n national
disaster.
It is eminently fitting as well as
fortunate that the attempt to accom
plish results so beneficial should be
initiated by the kindred peoples
speaking the same tongue and joined
together by all the ties of common
traditions, common institutions and
common aspirations. The experi
ment of substituting civilized methods
for brute force as the means of settling
international questions of right will
thus be tried under the happiest au
spices. Its success ought not to be
doubtful and the fact that its ultimate
ensuing benefits are not likely to be
limited to two countries immediately
concerned should cause it to be pro
moted all the more eagerly.
The example set and the lesson
furnished by the successful operation
of this treaty are sure to be felt and
taken to heart sooner or later by
other nations and will thus mark the
beginning of a new epoch in civiliza
tion. Profoundly impressed as I am,
thc.efoie, by the promise of trans
cendent good which this treaty affords,
I do not hesitate to accompany its
transmission with an expression of
my earnest hope that it may commend
itself to the favorable consideration of
the Senate.
