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Rico are being withdrawn from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."

EABLY RATIFICATION
Believed That Terms Oifcreel Ar

Behalf of Spain-Slight AI
of Peace at Suggestion
wisc Conditions Wer
Washington, July 30.-Events
of the most momentous character
occurred at the conference at the
white house this afternoon between
the president, Ambassador Cam
bon, of France, and Secretary Day,
carrying the peace negotiations
far beyond the mere submission of
terms of peace by the United
States, and reaching the point of
preliminary basis of peace between
the goverment of Spain and the
government of the United States,
needing only, the ratification of the
Madrid cabinet in what was done
today to bring the war to an
end.
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

! 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.

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*

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."

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.
