With simplicity in keeping with republican institutions, the war which has raged between Spain and the Cnited States for a period of three months and twenty-two days wits quietly terminated Friday after noon, when Secretary Day, for the Cnited States, and M. Canibon, for Spain, in the presence of President McKinley, signed a protocol which will form the basis of a definite trea ty of peace. Within half an hour after the sign ing of the protocol the President pre pared and promulgated a proclama tion declaring a cessation of hostili ties. Immediately thereafter cable grams were sent to General Sluifter, at Santiago; General Miles, at Ponce; am) General Merritt, at Manila, sign ed by the Secretary of War. The Acting Secretary of the Navy at once cabled Admiral Dewey, at .Manila, and Admiral Sampson tit Santiago. During the progress of the war the administration at Washington lists Iteen confident of success, there by reflecting the confidence of the people of this Republic. Theadmin istration has received constant com mendation from the people. There were no days of gloom; save one. On July :> grave doubts were enter tained concerning the condition of Shaffer's army. But by midnight till doubts were dispelled, and the Fourth of July gave us assurance of the success of Shafter and of the suc cess of Schley. Admiral Dewey Captured Manila. Before the protocol could reach j Manila Admiral Dewey gave Gen. j Augusti an hour iu which to surren- J der at the time'of the last demand made on Saturday. The General re fused to comply. The bombardment which began at !>::sti a. in., was con tinued for two hours, and then the Americans stormed the trenches, sweeping all before tlieni. Those within the walls attempted no resis tance and was driven into the inner Ibrtitications, where the Spanish commander, seeing thai resistance Wiis useless, hoisted the white flag and surrendered. The foreign fleets watched the fight with acute interest. List of Grand Jurors. September Term. Jacob Huffman, Frank W. Sick, Benj. Tripp, Charles Whitebread, N. A. Moulthrop, Jits. K.
