New York, August 2—A special cable to the Evening Journal from Madrid, published in a late extra edition of that paper, says: “Spain accepts the principal conditions of peace as set forth by the American government and only the peace details are needed to cause all hos tilities to cease at once. “A peace delegation will be chosen at once to confer with the representatives of the United States. The peace conditions set forth by President McKenley were discussed at length to-day by Minister Sagasta, and at the con clusion it was given out officially that the terms of the United States would be accepted.

About one month ago my child, which is fifteen months old, had an attack of diarrhoea accompanied by vomiting. I gave it such rem edies as are usually given in such cases, but as nothing gave relief, we sent for a physician and it was under his care for a week. At this time the child had been sick for ten days and was having about twenty.five operations of the bowels every twelve hours, and we were convinced that unless it soon obtained relief it would not live. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy was recom mended, and I decided to try it. I soon noticed a change for the better; by its continued use a com plete cure was brought about and it is now perfectly healthy.—C. L. Boggs, Stumptown, Gilmer Co., W. Va.

At 2) o'clock Tuesday moruing a hunting party from this side of the river, in which were Messrs.

When he reached the Bardin branch at EKm his horse turned out but a few steps to drink, aud suddenly went down below his flanks iu a bed of quicksand, his head being sub merged in the water. Mr. Pooser had an attachment ou his buggy to release his horse from the shafts and he turned him out, when the horse extricated himself from his perhous position, after most violent aud exhaustive ef forts. Before the auimal had got ten out an alarm was given and several gentlemen came to Mr Pooser’s aid, but fortunately their services were not uteded Mrs. Pooser was iu the buggy with her husband, aud while the wheels of the vehicle were ou the brink of the quicksand, one foot further in would have engu Ifed. it aud the occupants. Aud had it not been for the relief apparatus, the horse certainly would have been engulfed. It is well for those driving along the public highway that the company had no right to exact the cost of the stamp from the shipper. The commission takes the position hat by requiring the 1 cent war ,ax to be paid by the shipper the express company is in principle as much guilty of an overcharge as if it exacted $100 in each case. In the case of the Western Juion, the commission held that the company was uot required to receive a message until it was stamped.
