WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7th, IS9B.
Spain was very careful that tin'
string attached to its declination of
our demand for possession of all the
Philippine islands should be in
plain sight. Its claim that the
wording of the prochtol prohibits
our demanding the Philippines is
nothing more than a diplomatic
dodge, intended to extend the ne
gotiations, and its claim that our
capture of Manila, forty-eight hours
after the protocol was signed was
illegal, is much like that of the
lawyer, who told his client that it
was impossible to put him in jail
on the evidence presented against
hiin, the interview taking place
through the bars of a jail cell, in
which the client was confined.
President McKinley and Secretary
Hay know exactly what the Span
ish Commissioners are after—an
offer of a large specified sum of
money, as a recompense for the
cession of the Philippines, in place
of the offer to repay Spain an
amount equal to what it has spent
for public improvements on (lie is
lands. Tliey know also that Spain
really has no claim for a dollar,
because it is not in possession of
the Philippines, and could not ever
again be in possession of them,
even if we should withdraw our
army and navy from them. Agui
naldo now has a force that could
easily whip any force that Spain
could send against liini, and would
do it, if tne Americans were not in
the way. Knowing this, any sum
that President McKinley may agree
to pay Spain will be the result of
liberality on the part of this gov
ernment, and not of any actual
right that Spain has to ask to be
paid. No new instructions have
been sent to our Commissioners,
because none are needed. They
know exactly what to do, and it
will all end in the Spanish Com
missioners giving in and agreeing
to the treaty of peace upon our
terms, and the matter will be set
tled probably inside of ten days.
Since Gen. Lawton, who was in
command of the second division of
the Fifth Corps in the movement
against Santiago, gave his testi
mony, 110 more was heard about
anybody being afraid to put Gen.
Lawton 011 the stand because of the
fearful things he would tell. It
has been the same in den. Law
ton's case as in that of all the other
officers of prominence who have
testified. Before they were heard,
things were put into their months
by writers for yellow journals, that
they had never dreamed of; after
they have testified in favor of the
general efficiency of the manage
ment of the war, as every one of
them has done, their names are
dropped by the yellow journals.
(Jen. Lawton closed his testimony
with these words: "Taking in con
sideration the conditions that we
were obliged to face, the character
of the country, its climate and
other things being considered, I
can say there were 110 serious or
gross mistakes made. I can say
there was no lack of care on the
part of anj' of those in authority,
wh'!«o diity '» \vf <-• t<> b)ok softer the
interests of the camp. We had
with us as line stall officers us there
are 111 the world: no better could
be found. These men worked
night and day, and no human l>e
ing could do iiiuee iliau lii -y did."
This government isn't looking
for trouble the Mast, but if
trouble should come, it is fully de-
termined that it shall not catch lis
unprepared. The cruiser Buffalo
iind the gun boat Helena, are on
the way. via the Suez canal, to
Manila, to join Admiral Dowry's
squadron, and the battleships lowa
and Oregon are on the way, via
Honolulu, to the same place. With
these four vessels added to liis pre
sent force, Dewey will have a Naval
force second to that of no count ry
except Knglami in Eastern waters.
The Department of State lias just
been officially informed that the
wheat crop of France this year is
the largest and the best quality
since IN7-L the total product being
.'{71,751). 179.5U bushels, which
uiakos if certain that France will
buy none of this year's American
wheat crop, in this connection, it
may be well to call attention to the
fact that France is a little bit jeal
ous because the F. S. makes the
best Hour in the world. The
French Minister of Agriculture now
has two expert Commissioners in
this country, studying American
machinery and tools used in mak
ing Hour, with a view to ascertain
ing their cost and the feasibility of
introducing them in French Hour
mills.
There is real grief in Washington
on account, of the sinking *of the
of the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa,
raised by Lieut. Hobson, while 011
to New York, to be putin good
condition, it was estimated that
the vessel, even in its damaged
condition, was worth about two
million dollars to the government,
but it isn't the inonay value that
has caused the grief. It is the
sentiment. Everybody had been
anticipat ing that for years to come,
the Maria Teresa would figure in
our Navy as an object lesson of the
prowess ot our sailors.
President McKinley held a
special reception in honor of the
Fourth Ohio Volunteer Regiment,
which passed through Washington
on its way from Porto Kico home,
in order that he might have the
pleasure of shaking the band of
every member of the regiment.
This regiment has the |honor of
having been the only one ever re
ceived by a President inside the
White House.
INTERESTING NEWS.
Tiie season of the year lias arrived
when ttie farmer can sit with his feet
cocked upon the stove hearth and on
an average of three times a day revel
in the delicious environement of fresh
pork, buckwheat cakes and applejack.
When this program gets monetonus
the old musket is taken down from its
pegs 011 the wal, tlu; dogs called up
and a little sport enjoyed in the nearby
woods. Truly the farmer leads an
enviable life during the winter months.
A preacher in a town in a neighbor
ing county is said to have announced
that he would denounce a family scand
al from the pulpit, and as a result every
seat in the church was tilled iong be
fore the time of service, many standing
in the aisles, and a look of satisfaction
in the faces of the entire congregation.
The shrewd master of the flock then
proceeded to discuss Adam and Eve.
The following is clipped from an
exchange: His name was Finnegin.
He was a section boss and had been
censured by the superintendent for
making his reports too voluminous; so
when he had another small incident to
report, when the car was replaced on
the track he sent in this master-piece
of brevity: "Off agin, on agin, Gone
agin, Finnegin."
A student recently asked the presi
dent of Dickinson college if he could
not take a shorter course than that
preseribad by the institution. "Oh,
yes," was the reply, "but that depends
upon what you want to make of your
self. When God wants to make an oak
ho takes six hundred years, but when
he wants to make a squash he takes six
months."

How to Loolt Good.
Good Looks are really more than
skin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all the vital or
gans. If the liver is inactive, you have
a bilious look; if your stomach is dis
ordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if
your kidneys are affected, you have a
pinched look. Secure good health, and
you will surely have good looks.
"Electric Bitters" is a koocl Alterative
and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
p.ch, liver and kidneys, purifies the
bloods, cures pimples, blotches and
boils, and gives a good complexion.
Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at L.
Taggart's Drug Store. 50 cents per bot
tle.

If you are, enquire of your nearest
ticket agent about rates via the Nickel
Plate Road, the short line between
Buffalo and Chicago. Many improve
ments have been made in the past
few years. Now the elegantly up
holstered coaches, vestibule sleeping
cars and powerful locomotives have
been added to the equipment and
substantial structures of steel and stone
have replaced the old bridges, heavier
rails and ties have been laid, and the
road now stands at the front of the
best roads in the country. The rates,
however, still remains lower than via
other lines
If your ticket agent cannot give you
all the information desired, address F.
J. Moore, Gen'l Agent, Nickel Plate
Road, 291 Main Street, Buffalo, N. Y.

Anxious Mother:
If one child has Diphtheria the rest
may have it. To prevent, check and
cure it, the best known remedy is Arm.

diseases is Armstrong's Diphtheria

A Sure Sign of Croup.
Hoarseness in a child that is subject
to croup is a sure indication of the ap
proach of the disease. If Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy is given as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough has appeared, it will pre
vent the attack. Many mothers who
have croupy children always keep this
remedy at hand and find that it saves
them much trouble and worry. It can
always be depended upon and is pleas
ant to take. For sale by L. Taggart.
