A Short War With Big Results-
The war with Spain has come to an
eud much sooner than it was general
ly expected it would". There was never
any doubt iu the minds c! well inform
ed people in this country, or in Eu*
rope, outside of Spain, that our
demand in regard to Cuba would have
to ba complied with, but it was not
expected that Spain would be forced to
sue for peace in so abort a time.
Our superiority io wealth and pop
ulation is of course immense, but
when the war began Spain, as far as
her actual fighting force was concern
ed, was superior to us In the number
and class of warships her navy was
pretty nearly equal to ours, and she
bad a well drilled army, equipped with
Mauser rifles, of more than 400,000
men, while we had an army of only
about 27,500 men It was expected
that it would take us six months, at
least, to put a force in the field capa
ble of making headway against the
trained and superbly armed soldiers of
Spain. We bad no doubt that our
navy would render a good account of
itself whenever and wherever it should
meet the squadrons of Spain.
Only a little more than three
months have elapsed since the war
was begun, and yet our terms of peace
have been accepted. Spain has lost
Cuba and Poito Rico, and if we bad
insisted upon the possession of all of
the Philippines she would have been
compelled to yield. Her navy, which
was her pride, has been practically de
stroyed. The warships which she has
left are not of great value. Nearly 25,-
000 of her best soldiers in Cuba are
our prisoners
The naval victories which we won
at Manila and Santiago were so great
as to entitle them to a place among
the greatest in the naval history of
the world. Indeed, there was never
before a naval victoiy so complete, so
fruitful of results and with so little
loss to the victor, as those which we
won in our war with Spain.
And'the victory of our army al San
tiago was scarcely lees notable. It was
the final blow that caused Spain to sue
for peace. There was never greater
valor shown by any troops than that
shown by ours, both regulars and vol
unteers, on the hills around Santiago.
It is a source of satisfaction that the
war is ended. The glory we have won
on sea and land is sufficient to satisfy
our national pride. We have gained
immensely in territory—territory
which will contribute to our wealth
and greatness —and we have convinced
Europe that we are the greatest power
in the world We are not going to
adopt a foreign policy offensive to
other nations, and we teel quite sure
that no nation will adopt a foreign
policy offensive to us. In future,: no
steps will be taken by Europe towards
changing the map of the world with
out first finding out what our wishes
in the matter are.—Savannah News.

CABINET APPROVES ABIWIB
Spain’s Reply to United States Ac
cepts All Conditions.
Washihotox, Aug. B—Dispatches
received from Madrid yesterday say:
The cabinet council terminated al
ter having completely approved the
reply to the United States, which, it is
said, accents the American conditions.
The reply will b« telegraphed to
Senor Leon y Castillo, the Spanish
ambassador to France, tonight so that
M. Gambon, the French ambassador
at Washington, will receive it tomor
row.
The government is fully convinced
that the note will be satisfactory to
the Washington government, and that
a suspension of hostilities will be its
immediate coneeqaenoM.
From a well-informed source it is
learned that while the answer to the
United States terms does not discuss
the four.bases which the United States
makes an essential preliminary to
peace, and which Spain accepts with*
out reservation, it points out that in
order to avoid the definitive negotiaa
tions being io any way complicated by
incidents of the war, it is expedient to
agree beforehand to a suspension of
hostilities.
It is reported that Duke Almodovar
de Rio, the minister of foreign affaire,
and Monsignor Merry del Vai,' Span
ish ambassador to the Vatican, will be
selected to represent Spain in the ne
gotiations.
The ntwepipers make no comments
on the situation owing to the strict
ness of the censorship.
Senor Sagasta has submitted the
answer to the queen regent and her
majesty approves the general lines,
which the premier fully explained to
her.
The government believes that the
United States will accept Spain’s an
swer, which will certainly reach tho
white house by Tuesday. As a conse
quence of the United States accepting
the reply hostilities will immediately
aflewards oe suspended.
As the reply to the American terms
was only submitted to the queen re
gent today all reports of her approval
yesterday of the American demands
are necessarily without foundation.
According to the most reliable
sources of information the Spanish
note is couched in dignified language.
It asserts that Spain bows to the force
of circumstances, having done nothing
to provoke the war, into which she
bae been unwillingly led in the de
fense of her right and territory.
It expresses a willingness to appoint
delegates to meet the American com
missioners to discuss a regime for the
Philippines.
It is understood that both Senor
Sagasta and Dake Almodovar de Bio,
the foreign minister, told the queen
regent that they felt deeply the pain
ful duty circumstances imposed upon
them.

Now a National Favorite-
’ Five years ago a Georgia peach re*
sembled a gaily painted marble and its
flavor was more forbidding than its
shape. Today it is one of the most
sought after fruits in the market,
showing what cultivation will do. The
size of the crop this year can be esti
mated from the fact that about 2,000
carloadshave been sent away and
enough more to fill hundreds of cars
have been left on the fields from the
lack of facilities for shipping them.
The return to the state in money will
be nearly 12,000,000.
Anneal crops like this cannot be ex
pected, but it is calculated that a good
crop once in three years pays the
grower. There is another side to the
growing of peaches than the material
one. There is no article offered more
accessary to health than sound, chaap,
aburdant fruit, and there is no more
healthful fruit than the peach. The
extension of the fruit producing area
then is a matter leas of local than of
national importance.—Philadelphia

another myth exploded.
von Moltketa Conqw.t of Fraooe Old No*
Me la • Barnau Drawer.
That fine old lie about Von Moltke hav
ing the defeat of France all arranged on
pa-rer tn hl. desk so completely worked
out that the German commanders had only
to be supplied with copies and Sedan and
Metz were the consequences ia going the
rounds of the press with brilliant varia
tion.. The latest variation ia that Von
Moltke was awakened from a sound sleep
to be told that Fn.ice had declared war,
that, he instructed the aid to go to cabinet
A and take from drawer 28 a paper mark
ed schedule Z and resumed his plumber.
Inasmuch aa the Prussian embassador left
Paris several days before the declaration
of war by France and aa the order for
mobilizing went out from Berlin while
public peace was yet maintained, there was
no need to break Von Moltke’. slumber
to tell him what he knew In daylight.
France decided on war July 15, but the
formal notification to that effect was not
sent to tho nearest Prussian outposts un
til four days later. Neither Bismarck,
Von Roon nor Von Moltke was caught
napping either literally or metaphorically.
On the contrary, they wore arranging
even before France voted its fateful decla
ration to make war inevitable. France de
clared war, but it was Bismarok who
forced her to do it, and both Von Moltke
and Von Roon were in the game from
which the king of Prussia was excluded,
for he was not let into it until it Was too
late for him to undo what they had done.
Nor did VA» Moltke issue orders at the
outset which made Sedan inevitable. The
most he did, as he tells us himself, was to
make plans In advance against ev&t con
ceivable hypothesis of French invasion of
Germany. The first position he took up
was that of observation in order that
France might not by a sudden rush sepa
rate north and south Germany.
When he found the French were unequal
to invading Germany, he turned the tables
on them. He could not foresee Sedan at
the outset of the war, for the simple reason
that he could not foresee that MacMahon
would let go his hold on the road to Paris
and start off on that atteippt to relieve
Meta which ended at Sedan. Von Moltke
candidly admits In his books on the war
that he was puzzled W the French move
ments because they were so obviously
wrong as to awaken his suspicion, and
that he was at fault in not pushing
straight through the Vosges, whose passes
the French did not even attempt to de
fend. He did not anticipate that these
gateways would be left unguarded and
lost time in working around the moun
tains in consequence.
Von Moltke’s books are those of a frank
man who tells what he di A Possibly if
they were read more tomb of these who
are forever eongiparinrfeurbpera,tona with
those of Germany ip fMO would know
better than to set up the.great strategist
as performing Impossibilities. Von Moltke
himself found it hard to stamp out all the
absurd variations of his achievements that
became current In Germany. He was
once, as he has told us, invited to a private
view of a picture representing the council
of war Btfore Sadowa, in whieh he was
grouped with other historical personages.
He complimented the painter on his skill
and dryly added that the picture was ef
fective despite the fact that no such coun
cil was held.—Boston Transcript.
Wouldn’t Take Advice.
A west side youth called the other even
ing on a young woman who resides not
far from his home, and when he rang the
bell her little brother came to the door.
"Good evening,” said the little brother.
"Good evening,” said the youth. “Is
your sister at home, Georgle?”
• ‘Yes, sir, ” replied the boy, "she’s home.
Do you want to see her?*
"Yes,” said the youth. “Please tell her
I am here.”
"Won’t you come in?” inquired the boy.
"No, thank you,” said the youth. “I’ll
wait here on the porch.”
"Better come in,” said the boy.
“No,” said the youth.
“Better,” said the boy.
“No,” said the youth.
"Well, maybe you know best,” said the
boy.
“Yes,” smiled the youth.
So the boy went in, and the youth sat
down on the porch and propped himself
against a post.
Pretty soon with much rustling of skirts
Miss Alice appeared in the doorway.
“Mercy I Mr. Skimpie, is that you?
Didn’t you notice the porch had just been
painted?”
And then poor Skimpie remembered
with a sickly smile how urgent her little
brother had been.
But that wouldn’t remove the paint.—
New York Journal.
Jasper’s “Sun Do Move” Sermon.
The Rev. John Jasper, colored, of Rich
mond, Va., preached his celebrated "sun
do move” sermon for the twentieth time
recently. After quoting the passage from
Malachi, "From the rising of the sun,”
etc., he said: "Anybody ten me that God
told a lie? You can call me a liar, but you
had better not call him a liar too often.
Some say that we are living on a round
earth. Did anyone ever teach you that
four corners mean round? If they did, you
had better get rid of those teachers as soon
as you can and get an old suck and broom
and sweep them aay. Revelation vli,
1, ‘And after these things I < saw four an
gsts standing on the four corners of the
earth, holding the four winds of the earth. *
Philosophers say that at midday there is a
nation that have their feet right against
our feet. When did God ever make a na
tion of people to walk on their heads? If
there is a nation with their feet to ours,
who made them? Does this book aay about
them? God don’t know them. The
prophets didn’t know them, and I’ve been
preaching going on 59 years, having
preached 27,000 sermons, and I don’t
know them. I don’t know how to get to
them.”—New York Tribune.
Varied Check Rfamy
There are stamps and stamps, and the
banks are wrathfully aware that there are.
The report of one Boston bank for stamps
received on checks is this:
Internal revenue stamps of 1880.
Regular postage stamps.
Omaha postage stamps.
’proprietary stamps.
Documentary stamps of 1898.
Postage due stamps.
The receipt of two 1 cent "postage due”
on a check broke the record. How any
body outaido of the postoffice department
could have had them in possession to put
on is now the mystery.—Boston Tran
