The Herald--Review. By E. Kiley. ‘MINNESOTA. GRAND RAPIDS - The most popular bicycle saddle is oftenest sat upon. A poker-playing docior expects $2 every time he is called. The gas-meter has more feet than any other animate thing. Many a poor man finds it harder to get drunk than to stay sober. Kissing may be unhealthy, but every girl considers herself an immune. The ‘98 model hammock is large enough for one and strong enough for two. An old bachelor declares that even the sweet girl graduate will ferment in time. The most unnatural thing in this world is a woman laughing through a telephone. When some people ask for time to think we wonder what they are going to think with. When it comes to getting something for nothing the nickel-in-the-slot ma- chine isn’t so slow. Everybody is talking war now; even deaf and dumb people have the latest awe at their fingers’ ends, Last words of the last Spaniard— “Spanish honor must be vindicated. We were never in better condition to fight than now.” We trust that no purchaser of beer under the new tax will consider it necessary to make his stomach a gov- ernment bond-holder. The prudence which induced Joseph Leiter to provide himself with a rich father, for use in case of emergency, cannot be too highly praised. To include all the heroes of the Mer- rimac in the Senate’s vote of thanks to Lieut. Hobson was a deed worthy of 3 republic. It detracts nothing from our recognition of intelligent leadership, to reassert that the strength of a na- tion is in the manhood that never hes- itates to follow. The question, asked these many years and in tones more or less mu- sicel, “What are the wild waves say- ing?” may be near a satisfactory re- ply. The manufacture of paper from seaweed is said to be a growing indus- try in France. The seaweed will doubt- less reveal the whisperings and thun- derings of the ocean it has heard to writers who use the paper. Two boys, aged nine and ten years, nearly succeeded the other day in throwing a train off the rails near London. Subsequently the police caught the boys, who confessed that they found the idea and all the details of operation in:a penny magazine cir- culated surreptitiously among boys of their age. “We knew some hero like Lord Hildegarde would spring forth to the rescue,” exclaimed the smaller boy, “and we wanted to see him.” Deecided- ly the vicious story paper is a power in the land. Reciprocity seems to be the order of the day, in language as well as in commerce. For years there has been an incursion, or adoption, of French words and phrases into English speech. Now there is a similar incorporation of English expressions into the cur- rent speech and literature of France. While we speak of “the beau monde,” Parisians speak of “le high life;” as often as we mention a “soiree” or a “matinee,” they tell of “ufte five o’clock tea;” and when we pronounce a thing “very chic,” they respond that it is indeed “tres smart.” Is this an indi- cation that the universal language of the future is to be polyglot? Unimaginative exactness, as a dic- tionary defines liberalism, may not al- ways be the highest form of truth, but its practice would be a mental tonic to many vagrant minds. In a well- known family where the wife recently lay dying, an inquiry came by tele- phone concerning her condition. Knowing that the husband would hear the reply, and wishing to save him pain, the young girl answering the call said that the patient was about the same. A little later the speaker felt a gentle arm about her shoulder. “‘Your aunt is not nearly so well,” came the slow words. “You had better call that person up and say so. Try always to tell the exact truth.” A more emphatic instance comes from an old pupil of the eccentric President Finney of Oberlin. The girl was in distinctly bad health, but meeting the president one day, responded to his ‘How are you?” with, “Pretty well, I thank you.” “Tut, tut,” came his prompt reply, “isn’t that a lie?” The relations between England Ireland are becoming more amicable every year. There is no longer any prejudice in England against the sons of the Emerald Isle. Irishmen in Eng- Jand are everywhere respected, and a: like their brethren in all other coun- tries, are crowding to the front in all avenues of public life. The British ar- my and navy is thickly officered by Erinites, and nearly one-half of the members of the British house of com- mons are of the “ruling race.” This, of course, includes the members from Ireland. SPAIN ACCEPTS OUR TERMS AT LAST THE CABINET COUNCIL REACHES AN AGREEMENT. | TROOPS: MUST BE MOVED AT ONCE ARMY THREATENED WITH DAN- GERS WORSE THAN WAR. Mining of the Military Road by Spaniards Necessitates it. Ponce, Porto Rico, Aug. 6—Maj. Gen. Miles, having “received information that the fine military road from Ponce tg San Juan has been mined by the Spaniards, has formed practically a new plan for the Porto Rican cam- paign. In accordance with this new plan, Gen. Stone, with some Wisconsin troops, is pressing rapidly toward Are- cibo, on the northern coast of the island, and Gen. Brooke, who has ar- rived with Gen. Harris and 1,200 men, will advance toward San Juan from Arroyo. By this plan Gen. Miles will avoid risking the lives of the Ameri- can troops through the explosion of mines along the military road and the use of explosives which the Spaniards have hidden in the bushes along the way. At the same time he will foil a considerable body of Spanish troops in the town of Aibonito, where the enemy was understood to be ready to make a strong resistance. The unsafe portion of the military road, by the reports brought to Gen. Miles, lics between Juan Diaz and Aibonito. Gen. Stone, after occupying Adjun- tas, to the north of Ponce, has taken Company C, Second Wisconsin, as far north as Utuado, fifteen miles beyond Adjuntas. This road is not adapted to Col.

It was rather a question of ways of means than lack of intention to remove this force that caused delay. As far as removing the troops back into the mountains was concerned (the question which seems to have precipitated the indination meeting among the American com- manders at Santiago) it was learned that the medical departmert here made no such recommendation. All that it had to say on this subject was that if the troops must remain near Santiaga, an effort should be made to remove them at once to some healthier camp- ing ground. Surgeon General Stern- berg agrees thoroughly with the opin- ion expressed by the signers of the “round robin’” at Santiago, that men who have suffered from the severe malarial fevers of the South Cuban coast, so far from being immune against attacks of yellow fever as has been asserted in some quarters, are actually In Much Greater Danger suspension of hostilities will be its immediate consequence. From a well informed source it is learned that while the answer does not discuss the conditions which the United States make as an essential prelimin: to peace, and which Spain accepts with- out reservation, it points out that in order to avoid the definite negotiations being in compiented by the transports to Arecibo, and it will be a simple matter to take them with the army to San Juan. While the Spanish capital is being threatened from the west by the advance of Gen. Stone's troops, the troops under Gen. Brooke and Gen. Harris will be moving from Arroyo to Cayey, where theyw will seize the military road beyen dthe dan- ger points and from which place the Americans can advance rapidly upon San Juan. ‘The Spanish troops who are preparing to resist the Americans at Albinto, unless they make a forced march from that place toward San Juan, are likely to find themselves be- set by the American troops on both ‘sides. ‘The Americans who landed at Ponce are steadily pushing forws and their outposts now are twenty miles beyond this city.. No large forces of Spaniards have been encountered and the Stars and Stripes are waving over all of the neighboring towns.

Maérid, Aug. 8.—Senor Sagasta has pust concluded a conference with the queen regent. Her majesty approv the general lines of the reply of § to America’s peace terms, which Sen- or Sagasta explained to her.

The appeal is couched in the strongest terms, and says if the army is not moved at once it will per- Merriam has decided to send no more troops to Alaska this season.

The American reply to Spain’s request for explana- ticns reached Madrid Friday evening. The text is not divulged, but it is known that it brought little consola- tion. President McKinley turned a deaf ear to the suggestion that Porto Rico might be left to Spain and com- pensation sought elsewhere. Regard- ing the Philippines the reply was not altogether satisfactory, but it was of -such a nature that there was no long- er any necessity for postponing a de- cision On the main question. incident directed against the fact that troops cannot be withdrawn as a whole until the Spanish prisoners are disposed of. Otherwise there is no certainty that. finding themselves able to do so, the Spaniards would not over- power their captors, repossess them- selves of Santiago and thus lose to the American army the small foothold in Cuba which it has cost so much blood and money to secure. It is, however, the expectation that all of the Amert- can troops will have been removed from Sentiago to the United States by the end of this month, and this is prob- ably the very best that can be done under the circumstances. WHAT IS BEING DONE. This Is the Pope’s Orders to the Spanish Clergy. London, Aug. 6. — The Rome corre- spondent of the Daily Mail sais: The pope is preparing an encyclical ozder- ing the Spanish clergy to avoid all po- litical strifes and praising the virtues and religious fervor of the queen re- gent. His holiness also sent a letter to the Spanish people to be read in all the churches, praising the present dy- nasty and cgunselling the preservation of internal peace. Both documents are intended to be anti-Carlist in their infivence. STRICT CENSORSHIP. THE SPANISH NOTE. Asserts That Spain Bows to the Force of Circumstances. Madrid, Aug. 8. = According to the most reliable sources of information the Spanish note is couched in digni- fied language. It asserts that Spain bows to the force of circums having done nething to provok war into which she has been uz lirgly led in the defense of her rights and territory. It expresses a willing- to appoint delegates to meet the American commissioners to discuss a Arrangements Being Made by the Government to Transport Troops. Washington, Aug. 6.—Upon being in- formed of the request of the command- ing officers at Santiago to have them moved immediately, the officials of the war department said this request had been anticipated, and they had been preparing for the removal of Gen. Shafter’s force to the United States, They had arranged for an ideal camp at Montauk Point, L. I., and orders were sent forward to begin the home- Spanish Papers Not Allowed to Men- tion Peace Negotiations. Madrid, Aug. 6.—The censors ot the papers is now conducted wi bh the utmost severity.

It was not deemed possiblé nor desirable to bring them all here at one time, not only from the lack of transports, but for medical reasons, physicians representing that a sudden nge in climate would probably kill many of the soldiers who have not passed the convalescent stage. So it was the pur- pese to remove to the mountains back of Santiago such of the commands as could not be embarked immediately and to place them amidst the best hygienie surroundings while they were waiting for their turn to embark and ships could be sumplied more rapidly. So far Gen. Shafter has made no form- al report of the meeting which took place at Santiago, resulting in the pre- sentation to him of the request of the commanding generals. . Story of an Engagement Near Matanzas. Madrid, Aug. 6—An official dispatch says: The Raboia battalion has de- feated a large band of insurgents near Monte Verde, Province of Matanzas. The enemy abandoned their positions and were pursued at the point of the bayonet. They lest heavily, including their commander, Jovel. The Span- iards had two killed and fourteen wounded. Spanish WITH LEE’S MEN. Some of His Troops Detached for Service in Porto Rico. Jacksonville, Fla., Aug. 8. — Lieut. Col. Maxfield, of the regular army sig- nal ccrps, is now here and has taken command of the signal men attached to the Seventh army ‘corps. Orders have been issued detaching the First North Carolina, Second Texas and First Alabama regiments from the Sevents corps, and the regiments will hold themselves in readiness for de- parture for Porto Rico. The First Texas regiment arrived yesterday and went into camp in the eastern section of the city. The regiment is much pleased with its location, which is on the bank of the St. John’s river in a shady grove, with good water running through the camp. RODE’S BODY FOUND. Mystery of a Disappearance at St. Boniface Is Cleared Up. La Porte, Ind., Aug. 6.—The body of an unknown man found at Elkhart has been identified as that of William Rode of St. Boniface, Minn., who dis- appeared, and for whom a yigorous search has been prosecuted.

Wrecked Through Whent Losses. Elysian, Minn., Aug. 6. — The Good Milling company is embarrassed. it got caught with 380,000 bushels of wheat on hand and carried it at a loss of 60 cents a bushel. The plant has been turned over to the Bank of Wa- tefville, which has bought up all the claims. It is not known when the mill will start up. Col. Broadhead Dead. St. Louis, Aug. 8. — Col. James O. Broadhead, minister to Switzerland under Cleveland, is dead as the result of a disease from which he has been wasting away for some time. He leaves a widow and three children. Husband's Vengeance.

Macais has been instructed to obtain terms like those obtained by Gen. Toral, or better, so as to savev Spanish honor as much as possible. One of the greatest preoccupations of the govern- ment is regarding the return of the garrisons in Cuba and Porto Rico. The caleulations made so far show that it would have to contract with the Compania Transatlantica for 200,- 000 passages of different categories, which would cost about 50,000,060 pesetas. The gravev problem is that here we have 100,000 men returning vanquished, and, therefore, in any- thing but a pleasant mood. With not less than 2,000 officers, they are con- sidered to form a serious danger to social order. Speaking half-sarcastic- ally, a well known military authority said it would be much cheaper for the United States to pay the army in Cuba to fight for them against the rebels than to send American soldiers there. An important personage of the Carlist party says the Carlists Will Not Rise until peace is declared, and if Spain loses her colonies the Carli will rise.

It is a fact, however, that the Carlists have found money, and the worst feature of the affair to those who wish well to Spain is that, well armed, equipped, financed and with promises such as they are pledged to, it will be little short of a acle if trouble is avoided, u:, to speak plainly, if a Carlist rising is mv fod. WHAT ALGER R&- 10 SAY. a A Statement Regarding the Troops at Santiago. Waskington, Aug. 7.—In proof of the allegation that the war department had bestirred itself to succor the un- fortunate army in Santiago before the united protest w made the following statement was given out by the secre- tary of war regarding the shipment of ops north fron: Santiago: “Until quite recently it was sup- posed that yellow fever was epidemic in Santiago, and it was net believed that it would be safe to send ship loads north of men largely infected with yellow fever. The di it was believed, would rapidly spread on shipboard and result in the death snd burial of many at sea. On the 28th ult. the se y of war telegraphed to Gen. Shafter that as soon the fever subsided the men of his com- mand would be moved north to a camp that had been selected for them on Montauk Point. On the 30th of July Gen. Shatter telegraphed the sec- retary of war that he had informed the troops they would be moved north as soon as the fever had subsided, and it had a very good effect on them. When the true condition was made known an order was issued to Gen. Shafter to move his command as rap- idly as possible, and all ships in the quartermaster’s service possible to get there would be sent, including the Yale and Harvard. Over 150 surgeons and a number of immune nurses have been sent to Santiago in addition to the usual hospital corps that attends such a brigade. There were less deaths by yellow fever at Santiago than by typhoid fever in any camp of the same size in the United States. Bustle at Santiago. Santiago, Aug. 7—From the moment Secretary Alg cable message was received ordering the instant removal of the army north, everything has been bustle and activity at headquar- ters.

Wood Is Compeiled Them Himeelf. Santiago, Aug. 7. — Gen. Wood will fix the price at retail of provisions in the market. Complaints in every quarter cf enormous charges for stuffs by retailers forced him to take the matter in hand, though he had hoped the large cargoes recently landed and the reduction in duties would soon bring values down to normal figures. Dealers _ still, however, force up the prices, causing additional misery and much complaint. Beef is retailed at 80 cents a pound, 400 per cent over the true value, and prices of other goods are in proportion. Gen. Wood will hold a conference with the merchants and fix prices, with a fair margin of profit, and promulgate an order. en. to Fix Killed in a Mine.

Governor Recognizes the Futility of Further Defense—He Will Sur- y render if the American Fleet WilE Make a Demonstration Before the rc City of Such Force as to Save Him From Being Courtmartialed for Surrendering—Negotiation to This End Already Been Started— Terrible Effect of Bombardment. Sartiago, Cuba, Aug. 7.—Manzanillo, blockaded by the Hist and Hornet, with the wrecks of six gunboats and three large merchant vessels strung along the beach, and with the insur- gents under Salvador Rios pressing the city closely from the east, is anxious to surrender to the American * troops. Negotiations to this end have already been started and Commander Lucien Young, of the Hist, sent a communication to Admiral Sampson suggesting that another demonstration be made before Manzanillo by a part of the American fleet, to pavey the way to the city’s surrender. Col. San- chez Pirron, the Spanish governor of Manzanillo, is cut off from all com- munication, he has only 2,000 troops, many of whom are sick, and he recog- nizes the futility of further defense. He is ready to surrender Manzanillo unconditionally, provided the Ameri- can fleet will make a demonstration before the city of such force as to save him from being court martialed for surrendering. This information was obtained by a New York Herald correspondent who was aboard the vessel sent under flag of truce to remove the families and baggage of Gen. Escano’s office. In both the town and harbor could ~ be seen the terrible effect of the bom- pardment by the American vessels. Against a wooden pier lay the steam- skip Jose Garcia, only her smokestack, boiler and a tangled, twisted iron post remaining visible. This vessel had been gutted by fire. The Purissima Concepcion is on the beach a hundred yards to the south, while a little fur- ~ ; ther out, with only the top of the fun- } nel and masts visible aboye the water, is the Gloria. This vessel had bec Filled With Explosives, set afire and allowed to drift out of the harbor, ivn the hope that an Ameri- can ship would take it alongside and be blown up when the Gloria was de- stroyed. ‘To the disappointment of the Spaniards no American vessel took the bait and the Gloria was sunk alone. The pontoon Maria and the most for- midable water battery in the harbor was burned and is now a charred mass. 'The gunboats Cuba, Espagnola, Guantanamo, Estrella, d’Legado, Pa- rego and Seatinella were all sunk or | beached in front of the town. Little damage was done in Manzanillo by the shots from the American vessels. AIR of the Spanish soldiers in Manzanillo . 1 envy their comrades in Santiago, who are destined to return to Spain. They hope to surrender to the Americans, and declare that they will not give up their arms to the Cubans, believing that a massacre and a sacking of the town would follow. Three hundred Spanish guerrillas, commanded by Orjan, with three small field pieces, are operating against the insurgents in the vicinity of Santa Cruz. RIOTING WOODWORKERS. Strikers at Oshkosh Resume Law- =~ less Proceedings. Oshkosh, Wis., Aug..7.—Rioting has been resumed by the siriking wood- workers here on account of the sash and door men trying to run their plants with non-union labor. At the Morgan plant last night a crowd of 1,000 strikers and sympathizers gath- ered to abuse and maltreat non-union ss workmen as they left the mill. Chief } Weisbrod, with a force of police, suc- { ceeded in preserving a semblance of | order until darkness. set in, when a serious onslaught on the police was made in which several officers received bruises and cuts, and the chief was brought to his knees by a stone strik- ing him above the heart. Several — i shots were fired in the air and the po- lice finally withdrew. At 6 o’clock in the morning the mob again congre- gated and clubbed and stoned work- men trying to reach the Morgan mill. Thirty policemen were dispatched to reinforce the small squad on duty ; there. but when the police arrived the crowd set on them with sticks anthasensca. stones in a vicious manner. The polic< used their clubs freely, and the street, was finally cleared at the expense of many broken heads and a score of ar- rests made, including nine of the wo- men ringleaders. The non-union crew finally reached the mill under police protection and the factory was started up with a strong force of police to keep the streets clear around the plant. The strikers are far from sub- dued, however, and more trouble is promised. Queen of Denmark's Health. London, Aug. 7.—-The health of the i queen of Denmark is fairly satisfac- j tory.
