SHORT, SHARP AND DECISIVE.
War Terminates Ragecl Between Spain
and the United States. Only Three Big
Battles Fought.
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.

The Array Reduction.
Washington, Aug.. It;. The mus
tering out of the volunteer army
raised in defence of the union against
tin" army of Spain practically began
at the War Department today, and
will be continued until the army
lias been placed 011 a basis consistent
with our present relations to the
nations of the earth. Orders were
prepared today for the mustering
out of about volunteers, in
cluding twenty-five regiments of
infantry and about eight troops of
cavalry and live or six bitteries of
artilery. The proposed reduction of
the army to the extent of IOO,IMHI
men will still leave a military force
of about llttjMMi men, regulars and
volunteers available for all military
purposes. It is believed to be the
purpose of the administration to
maintain an army of loo,(ton until
all the pending complications with
Spain are finally disposed of.
