SPAIN ACCEPTS
Sagasta Rgrees to the Terms
of JYlcKinleg
WAR BEING PUSHED
Hanna Says Extra Session of
iCongess *Vi 1 be Called.
Washington, August 3 —Shortly
before midnight Secretary Alger
as he left the white house after a
conference with the president,
said the administration had re
ceived no oflicial information that
the Madrid government had ac
cepted the terms of peace proposed
by the United States.
Unofficially, the president had
been informed that the Spanish
ministry had acceded to the terms
of this country fur a cession of
the war.
The unofficial advices have
reaohed the president in the form
not only of press dispatches, but
of private dispatches from confi
dential agents of the united States
government.
While this government has
strong reasons for believing that
its .terms of peace have been
agreed to by the Madrid govern'
ment, the president is taking noth
ing for granted,
Arrangements for pnssing th*
war to a successful conclusion ar
going forward precisely as if no
negotiations for peace were in
progress,
At a conference participated in
by the president, Secretary Alger
•nd Adjutant General Corbin at
the executive mansion a final de
cision was reached as to the con
•titutiou of the provisional corps
for Porto Rico ts be commanded
by General Wade . ,
The regiments winch are to
comprise the corps were decid
ed upon and will be designated
in a general order to be issued
at once. Secretary Alger said
that the corps might be en route
to Porto Rico within a week.
Notwithstanding these warlike
preparations, the belief in offi
cial circles now amounts al
most to a conviction that| active
hostilities practically have been
concluded. A prominent official
of the administration said to
night :
“rhetnd is near, in my opinion.
The information thus far received
is unofficial and meager, but that
it is accurate in the main we have
do reason to doubt. In fact, we
have reason to believe it is correct ”
It is understood that the
‘‘reason” referred to is contained
in the private advices received by
the president and from private
dispatches by representatives of
foreign governments at this capi
tal.

f Uhveland, 0., Aug 3.—Senator
Ha nna stated today that an extra
session of congress will undoubted
ly be called early in the au'umn .
“The beginning of the end of
the wans at hand.” said the sena
tor. “An extra session will be call

tion of terms of peace. I do not
know when President McKinley
will assemb’e congress. As far as I
know no call lias yet been issued
for au extra session, but it is sure

Senator Hanna is of the opinion
that the war will soon be over.
“I believu that the negotiations
for peace will be acceptable to
both this government and Spain,”

THE HERO OF SANTIAGO’
It is stated circumstantially
that the distinctive “hero of San
tiago” is Gen. Joseph Wheeler,
who was born in Augusta. But for
him, so the story goes, General
Shafter, who was aboard slip
during the critical period of the
fight, might have listened to im
portunities for ordering a retreat
Officers begged Wheeler to retire
the command, but he refused and
sent a dispatch to Shafter urging
him to turn a deaf ear to a: y ad
vice looking to abandonment of
the contest.
Had General Beauregard, who
was sick in the rear at the battle
of Shiloh, refused to order a re
treat from the river bank where
Bragg had the Federal army cor
nered, Grant and his entire force
would have been captured. The
late Colonel Schaller told the writ
er that General Bragg, when he
received Beauregard’s order, was
so indignant that he broke his
sword and sullenly obeyed a fatal
command.
All honor to Joe Wheeler, the
ex-Confederate, for his undaunted
firmness. Honor to Shafter for re
fusing to issue an order for r (treat
Some of those days the bronze
statue of General Wheeler, as he
stood firm and unflinching at San*
tiago, will adorn the city of Wash
ington.—Augusta Chronicle.

If every man could live an out door life,
passing his time with gun and fishing-rod
and canoe, there would be less illness in
the world. Unfortunately, the demands of
modern civilization will permit very few
men to live this ideal, healthful life.
Many men have to pass the day shut up
in offices and stores, and the nights in close
apartments in crowded cities. They get
little out-door exercise. One of the results
of this unhealthy, sedentary living is the
awful prevalence of that dread disease—
consumption. One-sixth of all the deaths
each year are due to this relentless enemy.
Formerly physicians pronounced this dis
ease incurable. It is now generally known
that there is a marvelous medicine that for
the past thirty years has been curing con
sumption almost without a failure. It is
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It
cures o 8 per cent, of all cases of consump
tion, bronchitis asthma, laryngitis and
other diseases of the air-passages. It is the
great re-builder. It tears down, carries off
and excretes old, inert tissues and replaces
them with the firm tissues of health. It
restores the lost appetite and makes the
digestion perfect.
“Four years ago I had an attack of grip that
left my throat and lungs ip a bad condition,''
writes Mrs. Mary Hartman, of 300 Harker St.,
Mansfield, Ohio. “The doctor said I had dis
ease of the throat and bronchial tubes I con
tinued to grow worse. I had pain in the upper
part of my chest and a severe cough, which
grew worse at night and in the morning, with
heavy expectoration 1 would cough up mat
tery scabs, aftei which I would experience a
burning and smarting sensation in my throat.
J took the doctor's prescriptions without num
ber, but they did me no good. I took sixteen
bottles of cod liver oil and was as bad as ever. I
then took five bottles of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, and three of the ' Pellets '
I began to improve in every way and now en
joy good health and have taken no medicine for
pver six months."
