TO THIDEMANDS OF THE AMER ICAN GOVERNMENT. >• Soldier* Crow the Pacific While a Terrible Fire is Raging in Their Ship’s Bunkers. Washington, Aog. 10—Secretary Day today made public the following statement: r "We have ageeed upon a protocol embodying the proposed terms for the negotiation of a treaty of peace, including tbe evacuation of Cuba and Porto Rico, and it is exf ected this protocol will be executed.” It can be stated that tbe terms are precisely those laid down by the pres* ident in his original note about a week ago. It is expected that nothing but a few formalities remain to be disposed of to secure the signature of tbe protocol As far as can be gathered, our govs ernment is not particularly concerned at the insistence of the Spanish gov ernment upon the deference of peace agreement in it* present stage to tbe cortes. Our government, io dealing with another, recognizes only the ex ecutive branch and holds that wholly responsible for all of its acts and promises, and it is probable that our government would not concern itself as to what further international steps would be necessary to satisfy the eticklers for constitutional observance in Spain. If it should appear later that tbe cortes should undertake to undo the work so far accomplished between tbe two governments, of course the government of Spain would be held responsible for tbe result, but as it is presumable that the United State military forces by that time would be in possession of Cuba, Porto Rico and Manila, it is not perceivable that international com munition in Spain need give us any further con cern. ~ A dispatch to the New York World I 'D® Manila Bay, August 4, via Hong The Philippine expedition is here 22 days <>“* from Honolulu.

Both Americans and Spaniard* Are Leaving the Cuban Town- Santiago de Cuba, Aug. 9.—The auxiliary cruiser St Louis arrived here this mornlug, but owing to her great length she unable to enter tbe harbor. The Ninth and Tenth infantry will be lightered out to her tomorrow morning and she will leave in tbe as ternoon with both regiments. The shipment of troops, American and Spanish, is pushed with the greatest activity. The embarkation of the sick Spaniards on the Alicante was a moat piteous sight. They were brought from the hospitals on stretch ers, in wagons and on the backs of their comrades, often scarcely stronger th in the sick men they bore. Tbe docks were lineo with officers aud so)-, diers, who supported or carried their wives and daughters. The American wagons and ambu lances brought cartloads of miserable, colorless skeletons. It was a hearts rending spectacle. Tbe steam lighters Bessie and Laura were literally covered with stretchers and litters and the sick and“dying presented a ghastly scene. Tbe em barkation was partly effected in tbe midst of a drenching rain,out absolute order was maintained under dignified, soldierly silence. No murmurs or complaints were beard, although the tale of suffering was told in the pale, wan faces of all.

With all its superiority in distances, tbe heliograph is too uncertain for sole reliance. A passing cloud is suffi cient to interrupt tbe clearest signals, perhaps in the critical moment of a battle; or a sun haze may render in visible the rays from the largest mir ror ; so that, at any time, without a clear atmosphere, the system is use less. It is not known that tbe helio graphic system has ever been in use on shipboard, and the sea service has nothing for daylight signaling that ap proaches its accomplishment in dry atmosphere.

I Chaplain of Battleship Oregon Gives the Admiral a Very Warm Roast. Denveb, Aug. 10.—At Trinity Meth odist church here, in the course of a lecture for tbe benefit of tbe Y. M. C. A., Chaplain J. P. Mclntyre, of the battleship Oregon, Tuesday night de* scribed tbe remarkable tripos Ua-Otre gon from San Francisco to join Samp sou’s fleet and tbe part this battleship took in the destruction of Cervera’s fleet. He spoke in most complimen tary terms of Capt. Clarke and his fighting seamen. Chaplain Mclntyre gives the Oregon the bulk of the cred it for the annihilation of the Spanish fleet on July 3. He said : “Sampson wrote a report of tbe bat tle and reported himself within four miles of the Cristobal Colon when sbe pulled down her flag. He did that to get his share of the prize money, for a ship must be within four miles to share in tbe prize money. So Sampson will get SIO,OOO of prize money, and Capt. Clarke, who fought the Oregon a* hfever had ship been fought before,will get only $500; and you, who have had just exactly as much to do With the battle as Sampson,will not get a cent.” Mclntyre said that when tbe Span ish ships ran out of the harbor the lowa was within two miles of them and the Oregon about three miles. The Oregon, he said, tore up to the front like a shot and met the lowa moving to tbe rear, where, he added, Capt. Evans kept her throughout tbe battle. The chaplain offered no explanation of this alleged maneuver of tbe lowa. He did not refer in any manner to tbe conduct of Commodore Schley during tbe engagement. Chaplain Mclntyre, who is very proud of the Oregon, boldly stated that the reason the eastern made ships did not come up to expectations was that the contractors who made them got tbe contracts through political pull*, and did not care how much they cheated tbe government. Tbe Oregon was the only one that wa* made hon estly. SlMh. “Ten years ago a southerner would fight a man who called him a Yankee. Call a southerner a Yankee now and tbe julep factory begins to work."— Galveston News. These kind of paragraphs make us extremely weary, and we see a great many of them. .We do not suppose that you can find a representative southerner anywhere who enjoys or appreciates being called a Yankee. In tbe first place we are not Yankees —which term is the proper designation of the inhabitants of New England and.the sloshy vicinity of Cape Cod. In the second place we are not by any means in love with the Yankee char- HCterisiics. We infinitely prefer our own, and the real representative son of the south will find no inducement to start "a julep factory” in honor of tbe man who call him a Yankee. We are not Yankees. We never will be Yankees; we never want to be Yankees We are Americans. American is broad enough to cover us all—southerner and westerner and Yankee. If one is gtftog into section al designation we bad a great deal rather be called a westerner than a Yankee* but infinitely above all we had rather be called just what we are —a southerner.—LaGrange Graphic.

Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consump tion ; she bought a bottle and to her delight found bertelf benefited from first dose.

MVM BAKIHQ FOWMM 00., HtW YORK. An Angel of Mercy. Here is an incident at Siboney de scribed by a writer: A corporal of bis company lay sick at”the Boalling Club bouse, which stands on tbe waterside near tbe quays and has been converted into a hospi tal. While tbe officer waa talking with bis soldiers, a woman nurse came by and bathed tbe sick man’s face and hands and fed him milk. "Do you know who that is, Corpo ral?” asked the lieutenant, when the nurse had gone. "No, I don’t,” was the answer £“but she’s a perfect lady, she isl She’s been awful good to us, and if ever I get a chance, I’ll show her how we appreciate it.” "That’* Miss Wheeler—Gen. Wheel er’* daughter.” “Wbat? Our Gen. Wheeler?” exa claimed the corporal, fairly startled into a sitting posture. “Yes; our General—‘Fighting Joe’ Wheeler.” "Well, well!” the soldier exclaimed, dropping back upon his couch. “She’s a brave and noble lady! And she’s good blood, sir. That’s a fine family, them Wheeler*. God bless the brave little nurse 1” m EKHim of snap w ms is due not only to the originality and simplicity of the combination, but also to the care and skill with which it is manufactured by scientific processes known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only, and we wish to impress upon all the Importance of purchasing the true and original remedy.
