The people of Athens will be glad to

The work done by this enterprise
during the last year lias been such as to
place it upon a very firm financial foot

A. H. Hodgson and Agent J. H. Doot-
son for this state of affairs.

The Sons of Veterans will aid in this

undertake to help the movement to erect

Washingtou, July 28.—The note presented by the French ambassador
relative to peace was a statement from the minister of foreign affairs,
Duke Alodivar de Rio, endorsed by the queen regent, asking if the Uni
ted States was willing to begin negotiations looking to the termination of
the war. It comes direct and, despite the dispatches from Spain today
saying that the request was not official, it can be stated authoritatively
that this is only another Spanish ruse to quiet the Spanish people, and
that the note presented by the French ambassador was signed by the
Spanish queen regent and her minister of foreign affairs. The note is
looked upon as characteristic of Spain, and while most assuredly it is the
beginning of what will lead to peace, it is, nevertheless, a diplomatic and
ingenious method of trying to force the president’s hand and make the
administration declare its policy in regard to the territory already taken.
The president gave no indication to the French ambassador what his
intentions were and today there seems to he as much speculation as to his
reply as there was Tuesday. An answer will be sent, and while it will
show that the United States has no desire to deal harshly with Spain it
will be' firm and positive on one point, and that is that Spain has got to
declare openly and without reservation that she desires peace before the
United States will listen to any cessation of hostilities.
The president is not going to listen to any parleying on Spam’s account.
He will follow the course he has pursued from the beginning, and that is
to get a declaration in plain language before the discussion of any terms
is considered. It will be similar to the negotiations at Santiago when a
surrender was demanded before any terms of capitulation were discussed.
There is a general feeling in Washington that there may be yet a con
siderable distance between the advance made by Spain SGcl the actual
establishment of peace.
The president is keeping his secret as to what terms he will demand of
Spain when the time comes as closely as he is guarding his answer to the
note delivered to the French ambassador. The evacuation of Cuba by the
Spanish army and the ultimate independence of Cuba naturally form the
basis of all terms. The authoritiative statement made some time ago
that the United States is Jo permanently hold Porto Rico settles the fu
ture of that island. But what the exact policy in regard to the Philip
pines, the Ludroues and the Caroline islands is to he is speculation.
One thing is certain, and that is that the Philippines will not be given
back to Spanish rule.
We will have a coaling station at the Ladrones and possibly at the
Carolines. Over the settlement of the future of the Philippines is going
to be the subject of much discussion, and it is thought will be the cause
of the delay of the final peace settlement.

The resolution was adopted by a rising

PRESIDENT WILL ISSUE
AN ULTIMATUM.
He Is a Man of Tender Heart According to
Le Roy.
Clerk W. H. Le Roy, of Fort McHen
ry, a son of a valiant'Confederate soldier
who was wounded in charge against the
company of which Nelson A. Miles was
captain, has the following interesting
story to tell:
“I had often heard of Gen. Miles, but
had never saw him until the winter of
1890 in the Dakotas. We were out fight
ing Indians in the middle of winter, and
the boys of the Eighth Cavalry, to which
I then belonged, were suffering consid
erably from the weather, having no
proper winter clothing to protect them
from the extreme cold. One day I was
doing guard duty near Maj. Wells’ tent
when a general officer whom I had never
seen before rode up. It was bitterly
cold and I had nothing on but the ordi
nary blue medium-weight uniform like
you see on me now. We ought to have
had furs, but they were not supplied in
time and we had scarcely any blankets
equal to the climate. I saluted the gen
eral and he returned it, asking, as he
eyed me, ‘Have you men no heavier
winter clothing ? You fellows must be
freezing out here at this rate ?’ I replied
that wo had nothing more than what he
saw on me, and he at once rode to the
tent of the officer commanding.
“After he passed I learned that he
was Gen. Miles. On meeting the com
manding officer, the general asked him
why the men had no heavy clothing o$
proper bedding. ‘We had to leave most
of the available stuff back at the last
post, 130 miles to the rear,’ responded
the officer. ‘We have about all the bag
gage we can carry with us.’
“‘What officers’baggage have you?’
asked Gen. Miles.
“The officer answered that each officer
had the regular amount of baggage al
lowed by the regulations and about 400
pounds each extra, which consisted of
mess chests.
“ ‘The officei'S can do without mess
chests better than the men can do with
out heavy clothing and warm bedding,'
replied Gen. Miles, and he ordered the
officers’ mess chests to be sent back to
the other post and substituted for them
plenty heavy horse blankets and all the
heavy uniforms and clotlnug and warm
German boots that could be secured at
the post. The result was that in a few
days we were all comfortably clad and
prepared to meet the worst weather.”

Washington, July 28.—It is unofficially given out today by members of
the administration that when the president gives an answer to Spain’s
note tomorrow it will be iu the slupe of an ultimatum. It will state,
however, that the cabinet is not yet a unit on the final terms of peace.
The advisability of putting the reply iu the form of an ultimatum is
that it would prevent any lengthy diplomatic quibbling on the part of the
Spanish government by offering to Spain delhiite terms upon which peace
could be negotiated. This government thus throws upon Spain all the
responsibility of a refusal or a denial.
The ultimatum will include, it is positively stated, the cession of Porto
Rico, the independence of Cuba, a coaling station iu the Ladrones and
Philippines, and a port of free entry iu the Philippines. This last will be
left sufficiently open to permit Spain to open negotiation.
