leefield Advertiser TITOS. J. ADA2V.S,.EDITOR WEDNESDAY, AUG. 3. The Spanish troops in Porto* Rico are being withdrawn from the outlying town.- and are con centrating upon San Juan. The defences of tho capital are being' strengthened. Discussing the Philippine ques tion, the Japanese press, generally favors the retention of the islands by the United States. There would bo no objectior to their transfer to Great Britain. The Madrid correspondent of The London Daily Telegraph says : ''However unpalatable the terms of peace may be, they will not provoke the slightest disturbance in Spain, where listless indifference is predominant." Gen. Sharters detailed report of the American casualties in \he battle of Santiago has been re ceived at the war department and is being prepared for publication. The total number cf American, casualties was 1,595. Recapitula ten, the American losses were: Killed, 23 officers and 208 enlist ed men ; wounded, So officers and 1,203 men ; missing, 81 men. The missing are supposed to be dead, as so far as known the Spanish forces took no prisoners. The result of this war is sure to be injurious to the couse of Roman ism. Cuba is io be freed from the Spanish yoke, and is to have religions liberty. Spain is tobe greatly weakened. It is likely chat religious freedom will also prevail in the Philippine Islands. The developments of the war will be likely fo open the eyes of some American Catholics to the general nature of Romanism. Surely Spain is a fair sample of what Romanism can do for a country, for it ha3 had practically undisput ed sway there for centuries, and the people have been remarkably submissive to the priests, Yet their bull fights and their brutalities brand the Spanish people as be longing to alow grade of civiliza tion.-Western Recorder. GOOD STOJRY ON WHEELER. Bill Arp Says Old Joe Forgot Himself and Thought He Was Still Fighting for the Lost Cause. They say that Joe Wheeler for got himself at Santiago when the Spaniards fired their deadly volleys from the brush, and he spurred his steed forward shouting, ,:Charge 'em, boys ! Charge tho damn Yankees; run 'em out of the brush!-the damn Spanards, I j mean 1" And now they tell it on Generai Leo that when hi3 hand some blue uniform came and his wife look it out of the case, he look ed at it with solemn countenance and said: "Put it.back, wife; let it stay there a while till I can get reconciled. I'm afraid I might shoot at it ell of a sudden." The boys in camp get up many a joke, and they go the grand rounds, and that reminds me of Pat Doolan, a fresh Irishman, who was put on picket and ordered to let no man pass without the password. When the officer came round to change the guard Pat challenged him with, "Halt, be Jasus, and give the password." "Officer on the grand rounds:" said the lieutenant. "Grand rounds and be damned to ye," said Pat, "an' if ye don't come forward and say 'Bull Run,, I'll be afther shootin' into ye, Mr. Grand Rounds." The boys say that down at Camp Griffin, when a new recruit comes in, the devilish fellows take him off to drill him. "Young man, you must remember the Maine, and also remember that you are a private. When you meet an officer you must salute him and say, 'I am your dog, sir,' and the officer will wave his Land fmile and say, I, know it,' and pass on.?' . They haze the green ones as bad as col lege boys haze a verdant freshman. There is many a wag around the camr Ires and they spice the weary houri? with wit and wisdom. The average soldier bears no malice, not even toward the foe he has . been sent to fight. Cervera and Hobson are the best of friends and if it is possible Lr us to like Cervera, it is possible that the people who placed him in high command have some redeeming virtues. In our civil war the privates of both armies exchanged civilities on the picket lines. Stonewall Jackson rebuked them and once when a picket brought him a New York paper he refused it and said : "Take nothing from them, sir, and give them nothing but lead. They are our enemies" But the common soldier has not considered tho cashs belli, the aggravation from a national standpoint nor can he, like Crom well or Stonewall Jackson, worship God by killing nis country's foes."

This was accomplished on the part of Spain when Ambassador Cambon presented to the president credentiiiis he had received from the Spanish government, appoin ting him envoy extraordinary and plenipotentiary, with complete instructions as tc the manner of acting upon every one of the peace conditions presented by the United Slates, including tbe disposition of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Ladrones, indemnity, armistice, and all other questions likely to arise in thc course of the negotiations.. With these credentials authoriz iug him to speak, as plenipoten tiary, for the government of Spain, and with full instructions on every point at issue, Ambassador Cam bon, in behalf of Spain, not only received the peace conditions laid down by the American cabinet earlier in the day, but thereupon entered upon their full discussion with a view to reaching a final and complete agreement. After strong argument, tho pres ident and Secretary Day consent ed to a modification of the Ameri can terms in one particular. What that modification relates to is not disclosed, but, it is be lieved, not to apply to the condi tion for the absolute independence of Cuba, the cession of Porto Rico, or the granting of adequate coaling stations to the United States in the Pacific, or to diminish in any vita? particular the terms on which peace will be restored. . This modification brought about practical unanimity between tho president and Ambassador Can: bon, as plenipotentiary for Spain, and the latter has now transmit ted the results of the conference to Madrid for approval, which, if given, will end the wai. The profoundly important re sults developed today came about mosi unexpectedly. Ambassador Cambon's call was set for 2 o'clock, and it was ex pected to last but a few minutes while the answer of the United States was being handed to him. But since the original proposi tion of Spain was presented last Tuesday, M. Cambon had prepar ed himself to speak with authority on the questions which were to arise. The president himself, had pre ferred this course, although out side of himself and the ambassa dor, few were aware that tho latter would come ready to treat as thc envoy of Spain. The first instructions made to M. Cambon made him merely a medium of communicating Spain's first note, but now he appeared with all the attributes of thu di rect diplomatic officer of Spain, empowered to act for tho govern ment within his very complote in structions. The meeting was held in the president's library, and in the sub jects discussed and the impressive manner in which thc argument proceeded it was a conference des tined to become memorable. After M. Cambon had presented his credentials as plenipotentiary and they had been examined and his status recognized as the envoy ow Left With binet for Its sion. ARE L Cai?bon Who Had >wer to Act. IS If EXPECTED. c Such as to Secure Prompt Ap r's Act in Accepting Them in Iteration Made in Articles of M. Cambon^Othcr e Acceptable to Him. ! ot Spain, the first business was the presentation of the terms laid down by ihe United States gov ernment. Secretary Day read the terms, pausing at the end of each sen tence to allow M. Thiebaut, first secretary of the French embassy to interpret into French, as the ambassador's knowledge of En glish is limited. This reading by Secretary Day and interpreting by M. Thiebaut. took but 15 minutes. Thon began the discussion, point by point. The president and the ambassa dor addressed each other directly, with the greatest freedom aud frankness, each "stoutly maintain ing tho justice of his position on the several points involved. When, at last, after an eloquent plea by the ambassador, it was agreed to modify the conditions in one particular. Secretary Day withdrew for half an hour and attended to drafting the modifica tion. Thi6 accomplished, the ambas sador addressed himself, to the president, not so much as the.ad vocate of Spain,'_but^ personally, having with the: president, man fer man a like interest in humani ty. M.Cambon is a mau of fen-id eloquence, and he spoke with an intensity of feoiing which made a doep impression on tho president and the others present. He spoke in French, each sen tence being caught np and inter preted by M. Thiebaut with rapidi ty, so that the earnestness of the ambassador's expression lost little by this indirect method of com munication. The president spoke with equal frankness, and in the lengthy dis cussion there was scarcely a point in the whole range of war which was not met and freely con sidered. What the modification is that has been agreed upon, can be only conjectured, but there is reason to believe that it relates, either to the time when actual hostilities will be suspended or else to the ext?ut of our interest in the Phillipp!.. leaving unchanged the condition that Spain shall withdraw from Cuba and Porto Rico, grant the United Stute3 coaling stations in the Pacific, and make important; concessions in the Phillippines. It is now foi the Madrid gov ernment to give final adproval to iras There ls no ?fj ? word so full S of meaning H ? ? ^t?f m m m -o m T ? ? and about which such tender and holy recollections cluster as that of " MOTHAR "-she who watched over our helpless infancy and guid ed our first tottering step.

BRYAN PAYS } Interesting Chat From Ai Fbi ida-Hard to o Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 1.-In many? respects this is a splendid camping place. The soil here is light and sandy and water percolates through it, leaving the [atmosphere dry and pure. There has boen a good breeze today ex cept for ii few hours this morning. (The rains have ceased aud the boys are hard at work getting everything ship-shape. Panama station, a telegraph, railroad and postoffice, is just haifa mile away. William J. Bryan's regiment is just across the railroad. He paid his respects as soon as we arrived yesterday. I The St.'John's river-is about half a mile away. Numbers of the boys are there today catching fish, crabs and shrimps. . There is a hotel on the river bank,whero an excllc-nt meal may be obtained for 25 cents. There is plenty of drinking water here, each company having a hydrant which is supplied with sulphur water from an artesian well. The shade is not as nice as at Chickamauga, but in other respects our camp is an excellent one. The growth horn consists of pines, the ground being cohered with palmetto 3hoote. We will be paid off agaiii in a few days. Pay rolls are now being made up. We will drill two and a hali'hours daily instead of five. Our postoifico address is "Camp Cuba Libre." The sick we left behind at Chickamauga will be broughthej?r* ATso nurses who were previously trained. No sickness in the regiment here. If we can stand heat we have nothing to fear. Our camp is seven milos from Jacksonville. what was partially accomplished today. It is even possible that this ap. proval may como speedily, within a day or two. for there is no need of extended conferences or corres pondence. All that was accomplished to day when M. Cambon acted as plenipotentiary. From the fact that he acted un der instructions, tho prospect would seem to be hopeful for Spain's ratifying what has been done. But it is for Spain herself to de termine between the issue of peace or war, as now presented. FROM AN ENGLISHMAN. He Returns on thc Alamo-Says Taking ot* Santiago Was Grand. NEW YORK, July 31.-The Uni ted States transport Alamo arriv ed at quarantine today with.26 pas sengers from Santiago. The Ala mo stopped at Hampton Roads on tho way north, but waB ordered out to sea to burn one of her passen gers who had died. This man was George Pattersou, a stevedore, who went to Santiago from Gal veston and was employed in dis charging cargo from the trans ports. Among the passengets on the Alamo was Stoppings Wright, cor respondent of the London Illus trated News. Mr. Wright, in conversation, said : "It is not proper to speak of hardships, inefficient commiesory and hospital service, because this is war and all it implies. The op eration of taking Santiago itself was grand and brilliant. I never saw the like before. Nothing could stand the rushes of the American troops, so fnll of vim and eager desire to dislodge tho enemy. But these mea should be relieved, as the excitement is over and roac tion will set in. The mon will lose their stamina when tho malarial fevers spread." Sergt. E. W. Binkley of the sig nal corps said he vas stationed af ter tho surrender at the cable sta tion to see that no one damaged the wires. At tho time of the as sault of the Caney he was located ut tho front keeping the telephone [ in order. The mun on the firing lino wore suffering for rations, bul i (he refugees who flocked into El j Caney were supplied one day with ?8.000 rations, tho"uext. day with 150,000. "These were promptly sent to the front," said ho, "but our boys who were in tho trenches wero com pelled to go without. I do not see why the troops could not be sup plied as promptly."

We are gradually beginning to like this place more and more. There is an elegant breeze in the day time and it is pleasant at night. The most trying time is from 8 o'clock in the morning until noon. We miss the shade of Chickamauga, butin its place have water in abundance for drinking purposes and bathing. There is no serious sickness in camp. As yet no rations have been is sued, and we are subsisting on hard tack and bacon. The bill of fore was increased to-day by the addition of tomatoes and rice. Fresh meat will be issued to-mor row. We are expecting to be paid olf to-morrow. Jacksonville is a pretty lowu and has considerable bustle. Few, however, are permitted to go tb town, and woe unto him who has no pass. There is a provost guard at every street comer. There are five trains each way daily from Jacksonville to Banama. The people are kind to the soldiers.

Issues all Forms of Policies at Lowest Possible Rates Consistent with Safety. AND without making special medtion of each of its many popu lar plans of insurance, we desire to invite the careful examina tion of all concerned in Life Insurance to THE PROVTDENf'S TWENTY-YEAR RENEWABLE TERM POLICY-A SPECIAL POLICY FOR BUSINESS MEN. Twenty years is a long time. This is true in life insurance, as well as in other business transactions. Nearly all life insurance poli cies are contracts for a period of twenty years. They are made so by insurance companies to supply the the needs of the insuring public. When a man takes n whole-life, twonty payment lifo or twenty-year bond, he considers its cost to him during twenty years, and the settle ment which he can make at the end of twenty years. Experience and statistics prove that only a small percentage of policies are continued longer than the twenty-year period. Men take on large lines of insurance from age 30 to 40. The ?n suiug twenty years cover the period when their families are growing up and beingfeducated ; it also covers the period of their greatest busi ness activity. It covers the time when their families and business in leresta require]*the greatest amount of protection. A man's requirements are not the same at 60 years that they are at 40 years. His family has grown up, his business conditions have changed, or the necessity for insurance has disappeared. In view of these facts,.The Provident Savings issues a policy at a fixed rate for twenty years, which includes only the cost of protection for that time.' The premiums on this policy are loss than one-half tho premiums charged for a twonty-payment life. If arcan wants insur ance for protect ion only, this policy will snpply his wants admirably. He is not obliged to make a deposit with an insurance company for a future which he may never reach ; especially when he has need for this deposit, and more, too, in his business. To illustrate this Policy, we will give the figures. A man at 30 takes one of these Policies for $1,000 at the regular term rate? of %t? Qi - .per annwm for twenty years. This policy can be continued, after twenty years, without medical re-examination, afr rates for the age then attained. B. R. DURISOE, SPECIAL AGENT Jan. 24, '98. EJDGEFIE?JUD, S. C. Gr IC O. P.
