CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 18, 1898. DARING DEEDS. I'rew of the (lUiibnat lliineroft Keu(l«n a Mullanl Account of Ititelf in Fights with the Enemy. Key West, Aug. 12.— One more name has been added to the small list of the navy's war victims. Emanuel Kour louris, a coal passer on the gunboat Bancroft. was shot and killed (luring a sharp engagement with Spanish riflemen at a point of land jutting in Cortis bay, on the south coast of the province of I'inar Del Kio, on August 2. It is not known how many Span iards' lives paid for his, but their loss was undoubtedly severe. The Han croft was cruising about Cortis bay on blockade duty when a sail was seen close to land, about ten miles to the northward. The gunboat's steam launch was armed with a one-pounder ind Lieut. Henry B. Wilson with 14 men carrying ritles was sent into in tercept tlie stranger. She turned out to be a Spanish schooner. When first observed the Spaniard lay near the wreck of the Santo Do mingo, recently sunk by the Eagle. By the time the steam launch reached that point the schooner had worked into a port and a party of Spaniards, including a body of soldiers, was at tempting' to haul her ashore. The launch stood boldly in and a brisk fire from her one-pounder scattered the crowd. .lames M tin roe, an apprentice, swam to the schooner and made a line fast to her, in order to pull her out. At the same time Valdemir llohengreen, in ordinary seaman, dropped over the side of the launch and made for a pier where a small sloop-rigged boat was moored. The launch then commenced to haul off the schooner, but the line parted and while another was being run to her the Spaniards who had sought shelter in the woods poured in a murderous rifle fire. Koulonris, who was leaning over the side of the launch, was shot through the breast and fell dead. No one else was in jured. Instantly the men in the launch be gan a rapid return fire with their rifles, while Lieut. Wilson maneuvered the launch so as to take a line thrown by llohengreen from the small boat, which he had shoved off from the pier. Her bow was pulled out and the one pounder was opened on the ambuscade with such well-directed aim that the Spaniards were routed without a chance to return the American lire. The next morning the Bancroft started for Sigunea bay, where the gunboat Maple had gone to blockade ind sound out a passage. On August ( Commander Clover, who was senior officer there, transferred his flag to the Maple while the Bancroft's boilers were undergoing repairs. He took the launch with him, under Knsign Vogel sang, still armed with her one-pound jr. They proceeded to the northwest extremity of the Isle of Pines and there saw a sloop and a large schooner inchored in shore. The launch went in after them, but as soon as she was jbserved approaching the crews of the Spanish vessels took to their small boats. The sloop was aground and toward this vessel Knsign Vogelsang headed the launch. As the latter drew near to the sloop, a party of Spaniards on ■shore opened tire on the Americans, l'hen the launch's gun again opened on the enemy. But before she had fired many shells the Maple opened fire with her 6-pounder and swept the brush-lined beach. While the dense foliage ashore gave the enemy a de cided advantage, no Americans were hit. But it is safe to say that a large number of Spaniards were killed or wounded. WAR CLOUD IN T 'E EAST.

London, Aug. 12. —The I'ekin corre spondent or the Times says: "Baron Vinck, the Belgian minister, on Wed nesday sent a dispatch to the Chinese foreign office, asserting that Pavlox, Ihe ltussian charge d'affaires, and Ger ard, the French minister, had joined him in urging the foreign office to disregard the attempt of the British minister. Sir Claude Macdonald, to prevent the ratification of the. Pekin- Hankow contract. It is confidently asserted that despite the British en deavor to obtain a revision of the con tract. an imperial decree will be is sued forthwith for its ratification. The unfriendly role of the Belgian minister throughout. merits the strongest condemnation." In the house of cdmmons yesterday Balfour, the first lord of the treasury ind government leader, admitted that the statements in the I'ekin dispatch to the London Times were substantial ly correct and said that the matter was engaging the serious attention of the government. This statement was received with cheers. All the morning papers, including the supporters of the government, at tack Lord Salisbury for weakness in dealing with the Chinese question. The Daily Chronicle says: "What is to be the result nobody can say. There is room for the gloomiest fore bodings. Does the country realize that for want of a little foresight and firmness Great Britain may ere long be plunged into a colossal war? Such, without the least doubt, is the appali-i ing possibility." Paris, August 12. —The papers here are full of the significance of the Chinese question. The Matin says: "In China the greatest game in the world is being played and Frwnch in tervention should be decisive." Itefuxcd to to A rbitratlon. Pittsburg, Aug. 12.

Washington, Aug. 13.- With sim plicity in keeping with republican in stitutions, the war which has raged between Spain and the I uited States for three months and 22 days was quietly terminated at 4:23 o'clock Friday afternoon, when Secretary Day for the . I'nited States and M. Cambon for Spain, in the presence of President Mckinley, signed a protocol which will form the basis of ti definite treaty of peace. There were rumors in the morning that over night the French embassy had received the long expected final instructions from Madrid, but these proved groundless, as it was not until 12:30 that the note began to come from Madrid in small lots. The state department was soon advised of the fact that the message was under transmission. At 2:45 o'clock Secre tary Thiebaut. of the French embassy, appeared at the state department to inform Secretary Day that the am bassador was in full possession of the note, was fully empowered to sign the protocol for Spain, and only awaited the pleasure of the state department. He intimated that the ambassador would be pleased to have the final ceremony conducted in the presence of President McKinley, where the ne gotiations were begun. Leaving the secretary of the em bassy in his own office. Secretary Day visited the White House to learn the president's wishes in the matter. The latter .accepted tin* suggestion and M. Thiebaut hastened to inform his prin cipal that the president would receive him at the White House at 4 o'clock. At the appointed hour a rain storm prevailed, obliging all the parties to resort to carriages for transportation to the White House. Secretary Day came first with a large portfolio under his arm enclosing copies of the proto col and of the proclamation to be is sued by the president stopping hostili ties. He was accompanied by Assist ant Secretary Moore, Second Assistant Secretary Adee and Third Assistant Secretary Cridler. They went into the cabinet room, where the president sat in waiting. He had invited to be pres ent the assistant secretaries, Pruden and Cortelyou, and Lieut. Col. Mont gomery. When Ambassador Cambon reached the White House it was 3:55 o'clock. He and Secretary Thiebaut went di rect to the library, adoining the cabi net room on the upper floor. At 4:05 they were announced to the party in the cabinet room and were ushered into their presence. After an ex change of courtesies. Assistant Secre tary of State Cridler, on the part of the I'nited States and First Secretary Thiebaut. on the part of Spain, retired to a window where there was a criti cal examination of the protocol. It was prepared in duplicate at the state department, one copy to be re tained by the I'nited States govern ment and the other to become the property of Spain. Each copy of the protocol is ar ranged in double column, French and English, standing alongside for easy comparison as to the exactness of translation. The two copies are alike except that the one held by this gov ernment has the English text in the first column and the signature of Sec retary Day ahead of that of M. Cam bon. while the copy transmitted to Spain has French in the first column and the signature of M. Cambon ahead of that of Secretary Day. The protocol sent to Spain was ac companied by the credentials issued by President McKinley, specially em powering the secretary of state to affix his signature to this document. The authorization was brief and in typewriting, save for the president's bold signature. Later the American copy of the protocol will be accom panied by the written credentials of M. Cambon. The examination of the protocol was satisfactory and the document was handed to M. Cambon first and then to Secretary Day. who affixed signatures in that order to each side of the copies. Then the last detail in mak ing the protocol binding was adminis tered by Mr. Cridler. who attached the seal of the I'nited States. It was 4:23 when the final signa tures were attached to the protocol. This was the first time a protocol or treaty had been signed at the White House. Acting Secretary Allen, of the navy department; Secretary Alger and Ailjt. (ien. Corbin then appeared, hav ing been summoned by the president and they were just in time to witness one of the most impressive features of the ceremony, when the president requested the hand of the ambassador and through him returned thanks to the republic of France for her good offices in bringing about peace. He also thanked the ambassador person ally for the important part he has played in this matter and the latter replied in suitable terms. President McKinley then called for the procla mation which he had caused to be drawn up suspending hostilities and signed it. I'arliaiiicnt U I'ro ■oijiicd. London, Aug. 13.—1n fne house of commons Friday questions on the subject of China elicited little infor mation. ihe govcYnment leader, Mr. Balfour, declined to pledge the government to prevent the ratifica tion of the Franco-Belgian Pekin- Hankow concessions, but promised that in the event of British capital ists purchasing railroa'd concessions obtained by French or Belgian syndi cates i*i the Yang-Tse-Kiung valley, her majesty's government will sup port them.
