PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
* ‘ SUNDAY’S CALL.
Once more the parting mystery of tears—
The symboled weeping of the past red
years—
From Nature’s eyes, when once again she
hears,
“Fallin!” “Closeup!”
Once more the symboled flood of grief
distilled
From tortured eyes that sconned the list
of killed,
Till, drop by drop, that ho’y rain that
filled,
O’erflowed grief’s cup.
What mystery this I Each time old heroes
meet
To work for love and memory; to greet
Their brothers few in trials bitter, sweet
With Valors dole, > *
-' Fair Nature smiles, until the parting day;
Sends from her sun its tenderest gilding
xay-
Then sudden clouds her brow, as weak to
stay
Tears in her soul!
Unllke x the pictured Huns, who rose on
high
O’er gory fields to battle in the sky,
The shades of mighty sohthrons hovering
nigh—
Their work well done.
Have seen those brothers true they left
below,
Tho* sad from loss, their golden natures
show
In bravest deeds of peace that glow and
glint
In God’s foir sun!
Armed on with love—brow-bound with
martyr-wreath—
The glorious dead smile down on kin be
neath,
Till mem’ry-burthened pride its praise
must breathe
In tears again,
And love o’ermastering that makes them
one—
Parted or quick—whose devoir grand is
done.
God of the south ! late smiling in the sun,
Smile in the rain !

;l SPAIN ACCEPTS TERMS.
THE AMEBIC AIBPANIBH
18 PRACTICALLY OVXB.
? w-
1 An Armistiee Will Ba Declared as
1 Soon as the Acceptance of Terms
r is Received by the President.
3 ———
1 Washington, Aug. 6.—The answer
’ of Spain to the American terms on
which peace may he restored has been
completed, although President Mc-
Kinley has not been advised of the
r fact officially.
r The following praes dispatch from
f Madrid was received today:
’ “Spain’s reply to the United States
> has been completed. It accepts the >
1 American peace conditions. The
1 reply will be submitted to the Queen
f Regent and Sagasta’s ministry will
ratify it this afternoon, whereupon it
will be sent immediately te the United
i States government through the
> French ambassador at Washington.”
1 If the Madrid dispatches are fully
- realized by scceptanee of the Atneri
-1 can terms, then the authorities say
that nothing remains but the routine
of concluding the formalities of peace.
’ In some quarters apprehension is ex
presse<Las to the word “acceptance.”
It is pointed out that if the accep
. lance is simply an affirmative on, all
I the American peace terms etery
J chance for delay or negotiations at
r an end. But if the acceptance is
L qualified in any way by a condition
8 that certain privileges be' granted, or
3 rights conceded, then these is still the
i possibility as further discussion.
The Madrid advices are so unquali
fied in stating that the American
e terms are accepted that there seems to
be little chance that Spain will attach
any conditions to her acceptance, and
t yet only the answer itself, final, un
r conditional and conclusive can make
3 it clear that the last chance of con
-1 troversy is removed.
’ The president did not modify the
I original peace terms iu the knst, and
L the acceptance by Spain must be on
I the following basis, the synopsis of the
; terms being officially stated by Presi*
, dent McKinley.
, “The president does not now put
1 forward any claim for pecuniary in
demnity, but requires the relinquish
ment of all claim of sovereignty over
3 or title to the island of Cuba, as well
j as the immediate evacuation of Porto
Rico and other islands under Spanish
3 sovereignty in the West Indies; >nd
s the like cession of an island in the
• Lad rones. The United States will
occupy and hold the city, bay ard
harbor of Manila, pending the conclu
sion of a treaty of peace which shall
. determine the control, disposition and
• government of the Philippines ” ,
r An armistice will be declared, in all
- probability, by Tuesday and the pro-
J olamation promulgated. The officials
t of the war department say. that it will
‘ in no way interfere with the plans to
3 garrison and occupy Cuba, but that
r those troops ordered to Porto Rico
I which are not actually on their way
. when the proclamation is issued will
; not be permitted to proceed, as there
- are sufficient troops there now to gar-
■ risen the island. Those regiments
' which are partially embarked will be
allowed to proceed.
As soon as the armistice is declared
the blockade at Havana will be par*
tially lifted, sufficient to allow food
3 supplies to reach the island. In all
1 other respects it will be maintained.
The question as to using the Span*
ish soldiers to police the island is I
f causing some trouble, as it is feared
. that they could not be trusted, but
■ will pillage the people, feeling no sense
3 of responsibility in their work.
1 Tbe president is determined if pos»
1 sible to keep onr troops out of Havana
until fall, and will employ almost any
j means to do so
I This is a detail, however, which will
r ■ s 1 . I —3*
1 Sow to Look Good.
I Good looks are really more than
‘ akin deep, depending entirely on a
healthy condition of all lha vital or
b gans. If the liver is inactive, yon
e have a bilions look ;if your stomach
s is disordered, yon have a dispeptic
> 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 good
* Alterative and Tonic. Acts-directly

have to be settled when the final terms
are agreed to. It will take several 1
weeks to arrange all tbe plans and 1
details of the surrender, but the arm
istice will be declared so soon. 4s Spain
consents to terms of peace and gives
assurance of her sincerity.
In spite of the protests which are '
being made from the southern states,
the will be sent to
do garrison work at Santiago de Cuba
and take the p’ace of tbe troops being
brought back to this country.
Not only have protests come from <
Georgia through Senator Bacon and
Governor Atkinson and others of that
state, but similar protests have been
received from all states where immune
regiments have been raised. General
Corbin said this morning that tbe
program of the war department could
not and would not be changed on ac
count of those protests.

Tbe opiate intended for a pain in a
tooth need not be put into the mouth.
If injected into the leg or arm it will
do its work. Tbe blows delivered at
Manila, at Santiago, and Porto Rico
have been felt at Madrid, and that was
the real objective point. In blocked*
ing Havana and letting it otherwise
alone, we have done just tbe opposite
to what tbe enemy desired and hoped.
In resisting tbe clamor for a move*
meat by sea and land on tbe Cuban
capital the President displayed that
wise forethought and that solid firm*
ness which are tbe chief requisites in
such emergencies as war presents.
“Never did a war end in completer
success.” This will be the verdict of
tbe people, and they will not forget to
place the credit where it belongs.—
