the dispatefies from the front, after
Kpecifyine; that this different^ has aris?
en, added that It was believed a settle?
ment would bp reaehed before today
closed.
General Shafter himself summed up
the situation by saying: "It cannot
be possible that there will be a fail?
ure in completing arrangements." No
question whatever has been raised as
to the surrender itself. Not only bus
General Total agreed to it. "hut this
agreement had been ratified by General
Blanco, at Havana, and by the Span?
ish authorities at Madrid.
General Greely received another dis?
patch at G P. M.. containing the infor?
mation that Colonel Allen had landed
the shore end of the slsnnl corps cable
nt Playa fr.rtn the cable steamer Adrla.
Colonel Allen was not allowed to land
at Playa on account of the Adria com?
ing from an infected district. All were
well on board, but no one was allowed
ashore. Colonel Allen returns this
? . evening to Baiquiri to repair the
French cable at that point and estab?
lish regular communication between
Playa nnd Santiago de Cuba, so that
the army will be In telegraphic com?
munication with Washington as soon
as the city is surrendered.
The perplexing problem now to be
solved is how to carry out 'the pledge
made by General Shafter to remove
the Spanish soldiers who surrendered
to Spain. It would have been no easy
undertaking to remove the 20.two
men across the Atlantic under
the best r.ondltons. but the re?
ports that indicated the exist?
ence of yTtellow fever among the Span?
iards threatened all kinds of difficul?
ties. After all. It was decided to be
only a matter of money, and if the
price offered is large enough steamship
lines could doubtless be found to un?
dertake the transportation. At the
best several weeks nrobably will hp r?
rtuired to remove the Spaniards, so
that it will be npcessary to maintain
a considerable proportion of the Amer?
ican army in the neighborhood for some
time. Still, being under no care to pro?
tect themselves from the foe. the Amer?
ican troops can be so disposed as to
make themselves very comfortable in
comparison with what they have un?
dergone.
The surgeons' reports describe the
disease of a mild type, and it is said
this will readily yield to a change of
location Into higher and cooler ground.
At 1:15 o'clock this (Saturday) morn?
ing when Adjutant General Corbln left
the War Department for his home, he
was yet without definite information
from General Shafter concerning the
surrender of Santiago.
In accordance with the decision
reached at the conference with the
President he sent instructions to Gen?
eral Shafter that nothing but aii un
- conditional surrender by General 1 oral
would be satisfactory to this govern^
ment. * . 4 . ,
In view of Shaffer's last dispatch no
fear is felt that the negotiations for
the surrender of the forces in Santiago
city will not be prosecuted to a success?
ful conclusion. General Tora!, U is
known, at first insisted that his men
lie permitted to carrv their arms with
them to Spain. This concession Gene?
ral Shafter declined to grant. Toral
has modified his demand regarding the
arms and has presented a petition that
the arms taken from bis men tip re?
turned to Spain with the troops. In the
statement of Secretary Alger given
above, it has been denied by the gov?
ernment.
General Shafter estimates that there
are from 12,000 to 1H.000 men in San?
tiago and nearly as many more in the
' province outside''Of the ctty. It Is be?
lieved that the delay in the negotia?
tions is made necessary in order to se?
cure the surrender of the outlying gar?
risons, some of which may question
Toral's authority to surrender them
without definite instructions to that ef?
fect from Madrid.
NO MORE CONCESSIONS.
Spain Must Surrender According to
Our Terms,
iRv Telegraph.)
WASHINGTON. July m.?After an
extended conference with the lJresid. nt
tonight, at which three other members
?f the cabinet were present, Secretary
Alger eaid: _ ?
"The situation Is Just this. The Span
lards at Santiago are pr.-pared to sur?
render but thr-y want to carry their
arms. We have determined to grant
no such concession nor any concession
except the generosity of Ibis govern*
' ment to transport them to Spain."
Secretarv Alger was asked If it was
? no* the expectation that when It was
known that no other terms would be
granted the surrender would take place, !
and he replied that such was the case.
In any event no other concession would
be afforded by this government.
It was nearly 1 o'clock when the con?
ference at the White House adjourned.
Beside Secretary Alger there were pres?
ent Secretaries Biiss and Wilson and
Postmaster General Emory Smith. Ad?
jutant General Corbin was present dur?
ing the last hour of the conference.
Secretary Alger did not say how
much time would be allowed the enemy
to reach a conclusion, but it is known
that the administration will make It
very short and submit to no further
parley with General Toral. The next
move is surrender upon the terms
which the United States government
proposes or Immediate attack upon the
Spanish forces by the army and navy.
BEGINNING OF THK END.
Grave Things in Store for tin- Spanish |
Monarchy.
MADRID. July 15.?The government
has published a decree suspending
throughout Spain the rights of individ?
uals as guaranteed bv the constitu?
tion.
This is believed to be a blow aimed
at the Carllsts. but It has made a'very
had Impression, creating much dissat?
isfaction, especially among the Liberals
and Republicans, who are disposed to
regard askance any Turther encroach?
ments of the crown upon the rights of
the people.
Even conservative men are beginning
to think that the beginning of the end
has been reached and that the imme?
diate future has grave things In store
for the Spanish monarchy.
This suspension of individual rights
is tantamount to a declaration of mar?
tial law.
The decree ndds that the frovernment
will render an account to parliament
of the use It may make of this meas?
ure. This is n proof that Spain Is now
ready to sue for peace, ftnd also that
negotiations to that end are actually
in progress. The government wishes
to have full power to suppress all evi?
dences of discontent or rebellion.
The Carllsts are furious and .are sure
to attempt trouble.
(me official expressed the conviction
that'official overtures will be drawn
before Sunday. Therp Is everv reason
to believe that France has offered Its
service to Spain.
Senor Sagasta says that Spain wants
pence, but it must be an honorable
neace. as Spain deserves. The army Is
anxious to resist to the last, hut the
frovernment cannot consent to a use?
less sacrifice. "Had we our fleet," said
he. "It would be different."

GREAT DAY FOR OLYMPIA.
WTiwo the First Train Started Over ?
Railway Built by the Kattcsa.
Prubnbly the cheapest railroad In tho
world was built Id Oregon in 1872. Dur?
ing the preceding year the Northern Pa?
eilic Railroad company surveyed the line
between Portland and Olympia, terminat?
ing at the latter place, but only for u short
time. Then it was moved away to T?
coma, 35 miles farther north.
At that the people of Olympia arose In
indignation, called a meeting, and after
vigorously discussing ways and means re?
solved that, although the railroad had been
both given ami t.-tken away, they wero not
hound to submit: as unto the Lord, but
wotdd build one for themselves and build
it with voluntary subscriptions of labor
and in iterial.
One bright morning in April the Olym?
pia brass band halted at the corner of Main
and Fourth streets. ("barley Granger's
bay tnulo Hetty fell In behind. Then came
the officials of both city and county, led
by the governor and followed by the citi?
zens, until the whole procession was hall
a mlio. In length. They marched to a high
hlulT above the cnpitol building, and there
the mayor of the city and the governor
both made speeches, and a prayer was of?
fered. The first, sod was turned, and the
grading of the road began in earnest. One
day in every week was set apart ns field
day, when the city and county ofnciuls
came out as at first, the merchants olosed
their stores, and mechanics shut their
shops, and young men and old men, \x>yt
and Indians plied the spado with hearty
will, while tho womon spread the tables
with all things needed for a midday feast.
Week after week thu work went on, ami
the roiul stretched out- past tho timber
skirting the upper end of Puget sound,
past the falls of Tumwater, between the
Indian mounds of Mound Prairie, through
half a mile of timber to Rush Prairie,
more timbor, moro prairio, across wide
and shallow Scatter creek, 10 miles to
Tenlno.
Then tho ties were made and laid and
not u dollar had yet been asked for. Rut
the time hod couio to buy the rolling stock,
and subscriptions cumu pouring in until
everything was bought und ready.
.What a day it was in the history of
Olympia when the first train was sturu*!
ovor tho hard carucd little railroad 1 Open
cars were hung with evergreen, and again
tlie people all came out, with music und
rejoicing, this time to rido und not to
work.
Many of tho old soldiers who labored
faithfully to build that little road, among
them Genural Milroy, who was known all
through tho civil war us Gray Kugle, have
crossed the silent river, but tho road they
built Is still in use, and old settlers point
to It with prido, the- roud the hardy pio?
neers made with their own hands, the
cheapest railroad in tho world.?San Fran

Wolfieley Iti Canada.
"It is Interesting to recall tho circum?
stance," says tlie London Chronicle, "that
there was some thought of making Colo
nel Wolseley, as ho then was, lieutenant
governor of Manitoba, the new Canadian
province, in which he suppressed the Red
River rebellion more than u quarter of a
century ago. Rut the ideu was not carried
into effect.
"Fort Gurry, from which tho rebels lied
on the approach of Colonel Wolseley, has
now developed Into the nourishing city of
Winnipeg, the metropolis of Manitoba.
Various relics of Wolseley's march from
Fort William to Fort Gurry arc still shown
to tourists In that quarter of Canada."

He found the great room up stairs half

Japanese dinner. All tho strangest prod?

ble before the guest and little by little
overflow its bounds and are planed on the
floor around him?a growing nebula of
tiny plates, many of which he will not
touch if ho fee wise.
What strikes him first perhaps is the
uncanny familiarity of somo of them. If
this Is really his first visit to little Japan,
where could he possibly have seen three
pink shells lying on golden straw in a
scarlet plate or a largo white fish, with bo- ,
seeching countenance, comfortably put to
bod among sprouting rushes, all apparent?
ly growing out of tho meshes of that fairy
basket work? Where, in the name of san?
ity, hus he had sugar peonies and chrysan?
themums done to tho life double thoir nat?
ural sizo or oc.topl and red crabs artisticel
ly chasing each other on plates of corru?
gated glass? Is this the stuff that dreams
aro made off
Then ho remembers. Of course they
have all come out of tho em broideries and
off tho lacquered tables of his childhood.
Tho dinner is an object lesson in exquisite
arrangements of form und color and
should bo rogarded as such. Viewed as
food it is distinctly unsatisfactory and
fur, far too satisfying. Tho impression
on rising stiff und dizzy from the floor is
that of having watched a kaleidoscope and
swallowed Mont Blanc.
Ancient Hludoo Guilds.
Till tho time of Vishnu's lawbook,
third century A. D., no one of these guilds
appears as pre-eminent, but in this work
"metalworkers and smiths of silver and
gold" uro mentioned particularly, though
this pre-eminence may be due to accident.
But tho circumstance is interesting, be?
cause exactly these guilds became the
chief guilds of ordinary towns und bo
cause they were very likely the first to
bund together in self defense all the guilds
originating in this way, but tho gold?
smiths perhaps llrfet of all, since the old
luw in regard to smiths was so extremely
severe us to call for some union on their
part..
The old law in regard to a goldsmith
found guilty of defrauding was bused on
thu principle that a goldsmith can most
easily deceive, anil that when bo does so ho
is "tho vilest,;bf sinners." Tho king is
thereforu directed to see to it that u guld
sinitli found-- t;uilty of cheating shall be
chopped up iuto very small pieces with
sharp knives.'^whereits ordinary thieves or
cheats uro merely beheaded. By uniting
together und ostracizing a guilty member
tho guild could indict a punishment
which, if it was not so severe, probably
hud a still more deterrent effect.-?Yale

NO TAX ON BUNKER COAL.
The officials of the Internal revenue
department have decided to cellect no
tax on bunker coal.
Collector Bowden, of Norfolk, in his
official capacity, called at the Treas?
ury Department in regard to the pay?
ment of the $5 stamp tax on all cargoes
of 200 tons and In excess thereof. iMs
tax is now being collected on bunker
coal and Collector Bowden thought
this was excessive and unreasonable.
He took the ground that 'bunker' coal
was not properly a cargo, and soon
brought the treasury officials to his
way of thinking. He secured a de?
cision to the effect that the tax should
not be collected on bunker coal, which
will be a great relief to the Newport
News shippers.
CONDITIONS OF PEACE.
NEW YOKE, July 15.?The Herald's
Washington correspondent says:
Independence for Cuba. .
The transfer of Porto Rico to the Uni?
ted States in exchange tor the Philip?
pines.
A coaling station In the Islands for
the United States.
Spain is wililng to make these con?
cessions to obtain peace, according to
dispatch received by Prfesident McKin?
ley from a semi-official source.
Administration officials with whom 1
talked after they had learned ot the
contents of the dispatch Informed me
that an official proposition embracing
i these terms would be accepted by the
United States. Thus, if President Mc
Kinley's informant is correct, peace in
the near future Is an absolute certain
'^His dispatch stated that the Spanish
ministry at a meeting yesterday had
definitely determined to abandon the
struggle and had decided to sue for
peace on the terms set forth.
In some circles I find a disposition to
accept the information as entirely
trustworthy, while In others there Is
some doubt. There seems to be a gen?
eral impression among administration
officials, however, that the prospect of
the commencement of the negotiations
for the cessation of the war is extreme?
ly bright. _
