GREAT RELIEF Felt at Madrid Over Establish ment of Peace, Cortes Will Not Meet Till Fall Makeup of Commissions. S:nor Sagasta Says He Has No Fear ol a Car list Rising. Madrid, Aug. 12.—Midnight.—The protocol will he published simultane ously in the official gazettes here and in Washington. The papers discuss the situation quietly and great relief is felt in the government and court cir cles that 1'resident McKinley has not demanded a convocation of the Cortes to approve the peace preliminaries. The Cortes will not now be summoned until autumn, which time it is expec ted that agitation of the Extremists will have cooled down and the coun try hive become more inclined to ac cept accomplished facts. The commission to meet in the West Indies will be composed, it is under stood, of military officers; and it is believed here that this commission will pave the way for commercial treaties and for r» cognition by the Unite 1 Stales or Cuba of a portion of the Cu ban debt. The suggestion that Senor Moret, former minister for the colonies, may preside over the Paris commission, is not very popular. Various names are mentioned in connection with the com missioners person* 1, but nothing as yet has been setitled as to this. Senor Sagasta has again assured the Queen Urgent that he does not fear Carlist trouble; and the Carlists them selves appear to recognize that the country is not in the temper that would support a Carlist rising. They are now speculating on the return of the discontented repatrioted army, hoping for mischief there. The government has decided to with draw its prohibition of wheat export from and after next Monday. THEY’RE ALL PLEASED. London Papers Gratified at End of Mfar and America’s Success. London.

PRIZE SCHOONER WRECKED. TIm Salve Maria a Total Lott to the South of Key West. Key West. Auk. 12.—ti P. M.—The two masted Spanish schooner Salve Maria of about 30 tons was wrecked, last night, on the shoals of the western dry docks, nine miles southwest of Key West. She is a total loss. The 10 men on hoard were taken ofT, today, by the government tug Accomac and brought here. They are 'Boatswain’s Mate McManus and Seamen MeKeown and Foley of the gunboat Hor net, who were the prize crew selected to bring her to this port, and Captain Pal lohante, who owned the boat, her crew of four, and two of the captain’s friends who were designated as passengers. The Salve Maria was raptured by the Hornet off Francis Key. near the Is! of Pines, last Saturday night. She w n ballast, carrying only the personal effects of the Spaniards aboard her. The Hornet took the schooner in tow until last Wednesday morning, when a stiff breeze came up and it was decided to send her in under her own sail. The prize crew consisting of McManus. MeKeown and Foley, was put aboard and the Hornet left her and proceeded to Key West, arriving here, the same night. The schooner was then about SO miles south west of here. All went well until 11 o’clock last night, •when the Salve Maria, under full sail, went bow upon the shoals without a mo ment’s warning. Several holes were stove in her hull and she filled with water up to the deck line. The vessel and her company were help less all last night, but fortunately tin wind and weatlur were favorable, and being well supplied with food, the men suffered no great hardship. During the night, however, one of the Spanish passengers grew fractious and insisted that something bo done to relieve the situation. To cheek any possibility of trouble, Seaman MeKeown promptly thrust a revolver into the Spaniard’s face and warned him that if he did not keep quiet he would ldow off his head. The threat proved effectual anil the prisoner was thenceforth mute. Karly in the morning, the pilot boat Glance, L’apt. Samuel Weltus, came upon the wrecked marines and offered to bring them to Key West, but in spite of the perils and discomforts of the situation. McManus answered that his orders won* to take the ship in and he would not leave her. The pilot boat returned and reported to Commodore >K« rncy, who s.-nt the tug Ac eommac, (’apt. Angus, to the rescue. The tug attempted to pull the schooner off. bu ('amp Long. There the quarters of hi former comrades in arms will be inspeetei and the sick sailors visited, and it is ex ported that the admiral will n iv visit the Spat ish prisoners at Portsmouth, X. If.

The money taken was divided among the companies in the regiment and w* nt to buy grub for us. Since wi haw i hanped our camp they have not op. tied it. They sold beer, which by i he way was not 2 per cent., and i; would be impossible for a man to pet int-.\ieatid «n it. the very few drunks wife got in Chattanooga, lemonade cigars and tobacco. The Maine repi ne nt was not the only one that patron i/.er th»* ante, n. Regiments from al. parts of the park want to it. Of fours, i lie receipts were unite large, but I fail to recollect the time when the re ceipts were anywhere near $f»00 or $tino Our rations consist of boot leg c«».f b*'*. the cheapest of tea, sour meat which they ill bacon, beef, which i: of the Chicago kind and is kept in cob siorage so long that when we reeeiv. ii. it is full of maggots and is most o? the time condemned by the doctors and bread and it is never half cooked.

Why, the water we drink is condemned! 1 do not believe the government is aware of the way we are used. I have given you only an outline of the way we are treat*d. It is something terri ble.

It has certainly 1 11 short, sha’p ami decisive. Another day of prayer and thanks giving is due. There has to he about so nnjjrti protocol locjuy. America’s “colonial policy” must Boon he formulated. The signing of the protocol means the cessation of hostilities. r. The war for humanity and liberty has been a glorious and unqualified success. Uncle Sam’s rapid lire guns are all right, hut his rapid fire diplomacy also astonishes the world. Profanity or no profanity, there is conclusive evidence that Captain Evans is a hi tter Christian than some of those divines who have been heap ing abuse upon him. Some of those statesmen who are against “imperialism” base their ob jection upon the theory that if there is any expanding t.» he done they can best do it themselve«. Hy (his t iin*' events (nay have hap pened at Manila which will make th Spanish diplomatists wish they ha• 1 put mi more steam. Dewey ami Mer ritt are Yankee hustlers. The colei* of yellow will soon he un known in the flags over the New Worhl, ami the yellow fever in the army ib; h, and went down in crushing defeat amid the ruins of the great silver conspiracy. The party learns nothing from the lesson of events. It persists in Minding itself to the light of truth. Its great ambition is now. as in the past, to be an obstacle in the path of progress and prosperity. The Democratic state conventions which have been held this year give no encouragement that that party has seen the foily of adopting free silver coinage as the vital part of its creed. Im every instance there has been shown a readiness, if not an eagerness, to reaffirm the Chicago platform of 1S-.I6 and to proclaim adherence to Bryan ism. Fusions with I’opulists have been sought and have in no case been de clined on account of an unwillingness on the part of the Democrats to ad vocate Populistic currency doctrines. This is true of every section of the country, Maine and Vermont, as well as of Arkansas, Georgia, Oregon, Iowa, Michigan, Maryland, Wisconsin anil every other state where Democratic conventions have been held. It is still the parly of fiat money and of repudia tion, the party which assails the funda mental principles of our government, which asks for support this year under the name of Democracy. Tlie party is as unsafe today on the money question as it was two years ago when it startled the world by surrendering to tiie Populists at Chicago. This does not mean that the cause of free silver is increasing in strength, but rather that the cause of Democ racy has b st its strength. There is every Indication that the cause of free silver is declining. The first test made of its strength this year was in Oregon in the June election for governor and congressmen. The Republican plat form was the most outspoken for gold ever adopted in the state, while the Democratic-Fusion platform was as pronounced for silvi r. The over whelming election of the Republican ticket by greatly increased majorities uus a significant indication of extreme Western opinion on the money ques tion. The Republicans of the West as well as of the Fast are stronger today than in 1SH6 in their opposition to free silver. The party is mure united in the matter, and the complete success of tile Republican administration has given, it greater harmony and power ttya^ A has known for many years. Jijjl with Democracy, it is a case of free silver or nothing. It must dine to that for an issue or take in its sign and close Up business. The fidelity with which l he Republican party lias kept its pledges, the good work of Congress, and the popularity and suc cess of the war with Spain, compel the baffled Democracy to go into the past for an issue In this fall's campaign. It can wage no battle on tile living issues of the day, because the nation is solidly with the Republicanism of the administration, so it is forced to tie desperate resort of galvanizing the buried issues of 1S116 in tlie vain at tempt to draw tie* attention and the votes of the country. Free silver is dead, but its carcass, putrid and noisome, still endangers the national health. Democracy was defeated in 1S86: this year its cause will lie buried beyond all hope of future resurrection. I he opinions of lor.-ign statesmen mi llii- Philippine question arc of little value to the United States, because such critics naturally view the matter from their own standpoint, which is one common to all foreign nations, and which looks upon the retention of cap tured territory as a matter of course. If England or France or Germany stood in the same relation to the I hilippints that the United States now docs, the question of tile future owner ship of the islands would not have 1- ai raised, or even suggested; it would lie universally conceded that they belonged to the conqueror. It is the Flirted States itself that raises the question, nobody else, and the Fnited Slates must decide it for itself, and from its own standpoint, not from ttuu of other nations. The officers of the steamer Farallon, which left Skuguay when the town was in llames, with every prospect of tie explosion of -its dynamite magazines, y t t must be sadly deficient in curiosity, if not in humanity. The average man Would wait a little while for such a dramatic event, if In- did not consider it his duty to render what assistance lie could to the people Of the stricken town. Possibly, however, the secret o,f the 1-arallon’s haste to get away may be that her officers feared their hu manity would be overtaxed if they stayed. In that desolate region there is liittle chance to call on ncigi|ils>ring communities for assistance, and this steamer may have held the only relief in sight. Get us hope, if only for their own sake, that their report is greatly exaggerated. Sulz. a Swiss town in the Canton i ■A irgaii. is suffering from a peculiar hie eon. The town recently dismissed i' school teacher, after M years' servio without giving him a pension, and adv, tis.-d lor a new teacher.

T1 town decided to sue the tea,-Iters, liut t lawyer in the canton could be found take U|> the ease, other professional mi -;1 declJvd to have nothing to i with Sulz. Heroes Below the Decks. Advices from Washington state that not only the army forces In Cuba arc to he brought North at once, but also many of the American ships. Admiral Sampson reports that about three pel cent of his men are incapacitated for duty, owing to debility rather than to disease. This, he points out, is largely due to the sudden relaxation after tin enormous physical and mental strain to which they have been constantly subjected while on active duty. Jfe adds that not a man in three of his warships has set foot on shore fin the last seven months. The glorious achievements of the American navy during the war with Spain have won the admiration and respect of the entire world. The Ameri can nation is proud of its blue jackets and points with genuine* pride to them as the highest type of naval fighters. Hut as a rule tin* average stay-at home citizen, while sharing in the general praise for the* work of tin* hoys who have done the fighting at sea,has no adequate appreciation of the hardships endured by our sailors. While wo give just praise to the “men behind the guns” let us not forget the heroes below the decks who did so important part and get so small a share of the glory. According to an official report the* heat figures from the monitors that have been doing blockade duty off the Cuban coast showed upon a recent test that the Amphitrite’s engine-room bore an average temperature of 120 de grees. The engine-room of the Mian lonomoh registered l.'IN degrees and its flreroom 141* degrees. The Terror showed 140 degrees in its eft gin -room and ir*5 degrees in its fire room. These figures, which are offi cial, tell their own story. A naval otfieer on hoard one of the monitors which took part in Samp son’s bombardment of San Juan writes as follows: “The scene in the flreroom that morning was not of this earth. The heat was almost destruc tive of life; tools, ladders, doors and all fittings were too hot to touch, and the place was dense with smok*- es caping from furnace doors, for there was absolutely no draft. The men col let t»*d to build up tin* fires were the best of those remaining tit for duty, but they were worn out physically, were nervous, apprehensive and dispirited. Hough Irish firemen, who would stand in unfair fight until killed in their tracks, were crying like chil dien and begging to be allowed to go deck, so completely were they un nerved and unmanned by the cruel or deal they had endured so long. “Hell afloat” is a nautical figure of speech often idly used, but then we saw jt." Without detracting in the slightest degree from the full credit due to the officers who have made our recent naval victories possible, it is merely justice to say that the hardest work has been done by the unknown heroes in humble stations below decks. Cr-slit for the magnificent work of the Ore gon at Santiago, for instance, is due not alone to Captain Clark and his olfi- eers, nor to the gunners whose deadly j work did so much toward wiping out j C*u cannot afford to postpone that vacation any longer. Alderman Hounds certainly keeps his friends and enemies guessing. The hydrangeas are appearing and will soon be the blossoms of the hour. At the regimental reunions they don’t fail to boast flow well the tdi would have done it at Santiago.

Some of the Chiekamauga regiments are going to Kentucky, but the Main boys seem destined to remain at Camp Thomas.

It is unnecessary to ask whether the members of the camp are glad that the war is ended or not. Furthermore it is not well to ask them for they are so sorry that their chances of seeing a great cannon are almost blasted, that they are not in a mood to answer the question. i no ending of the war, now puts the possibilities of being moved in a much more doubtful condition than ever, and they will have to keep guessing for a time longer. Some think they will be discharged, others think they will lie retained for service in ease the Philip pine question should bo too large a one to handle, and still others (possibly the wisest of all) have no opinion that they care to express. The only thing to do is to wait and see, and ns all old soldiers say that waiting is the greater part of a sol diers life, they can content themselves with the thought that they are seeing the greater part of a soldier's life. They can keep drilling and learning so that when in some future year, possibly next year, when they are again common members of the Na tional Guard, they will he proud to be pointed out as the well drilled mem bers of the batteries who volunteered for the active service, but did not have a chance to go to the front. Then won't the men who are now here have Stories of the good "old days when we were in the volunteer service? The greater part of the sick men. Friday night, were from Battery B. there being ten of them in the hospital, while but few were there from the other batteries. Now that the shooting is over or practically so, those interested in the practice hardly know what they are to do to amuse themselves. The last shooting was conducted, Friday, and a large number were on the range to put in their last shot at the target. Seventy-live men from each battery at the bring line on the 300-150 v;tfd range, and each man did skirmish shooting, having five shots apiece, at and two retreating. The result was fully up to that of the previous shoot ing. Battery B had 292 hits to its credit, Willi a total of 909 points, out of a pos sible 1875. Battery C had 259 hits with a score of 7S6. Battery D had 253 hits, with a score of 732. There now remains only one man to shoot and he is Sergeant McLolland who is next in line after Corporal Nel son in the championship of the bat talion. Whether he came make up the points that he lacks in his trial re mains to lie seen, hut he has a hard task before him. Sergeant Sawyer of Battery C, is oft on n two days’ furlough. During his absence Sergeant Purnell is acting 1st sergeant. The entire field was ponceu '>£u tery I*». Friday afternoon, and it was as clean as a house floor after they were through with it.

A report was circulated by a member of the 1st Maine Regiment at Ohlcka mauga. who was in the city the first of the week, that two of the sergeants had been reduced to the ranks. Of course this greatly worried the friends of the boys, and they telegraphed to see if the report contained any truth. The reply was that there was no truth in it. R is not known what the man’s idea was for circulating such a report, for he might well have known such a report, though hard to believe, would make the boys’ relatives and friends feel very much alarmed.

I 1 I SAVED BY A DREAM A Curious Incidence That Occurrec in the Civil War. Becoming a Fisherman--* Cigar Trick--Un appreciated Music. “I had a dream once that I died front pneumonia," said a well known man who made a very creditable record as an officer in the Union army to a Jmu nal reporter. "It was one of those per sistent dreams that I could not shake off. While under its influence I think I suffered as intense pain as I after ward did when I had a real cast* of pneumonia. The dream so controlled me that I spoke about it to the mem bers of the family, to the exclusion of almost everythin;; else, for several days. In a few weeks the war broke out, and with the young men of my section of the country I entered the Union army as a private, though I held a commission when the war ended. When the day came for me to leave my home my mother, who had packed uj) about everything I thought I should need, much of which I had to drop by the wayside soon after, asked me if there was anything else that I could think of that I would need. In an apologizing kind of way I said yes, that I would like a box of mustard for use in case I ever got the pneumonia, such as I dreamed of, for I forgot to say I dreamed that after I was dead a mustard plaster on my side cured my pain. When I looked into my knap sack I found it so full of stuff that I could not find a place for the box of mustard, and 1 thought 1 would have to leave it. My mother, however, said she would manage it. That night I started out to conquer the whole Con federate army, and just as I was about leaving the door of my house a pain struck me in my side, exactly the place affected in the attack of pneumonia from which I had my dream death, it passed off in an instant, not, how ever, until 1 had asked my mother ir she had found a place for the mustard. She told me she could not tlnd space in my knapsack, but that she had sewed up a bundle of mustard in a parchment hag in the lining of my overcoat. I carried that overcoat four years and had felt the mustard sewed up in the breast lining hundreds of times, hut never supposed I would have to use it. 'It was four years to the day from tile date of my enlistment when I was taken siek, and with me a man in my company, for by that time I was an officer. We were bundled off to a field hospital, neither one of us having any idea what was the matter with us. That night the doctor, the surgeon of a Maine regiment, visited ns. lie told us blandly that we were suffering from pneumonia and that the chances were all against us. ‘If I could put a mus tard plaster on you 1 could save you both.’ tie said, 'but, as you know, mus tard is a rare possession in this part of the South now, a grain of it equal ing in value a grain of gold, and scarce at that.’ All of a sudden the lining of my overcoat came to my mind, and I asked if my coat was handy. I was told it was, and in a few minutes the doctor had it ripped open. Mixing it up with some had bran, lie divided it up at my request into two plasters, and my comrade and myself have been able to eat three square meals every day since, barring the remainder of the war, when we were rather high toned and only indulged in one regular meal a day and ate the rest in our minds. Though pneumonia killed me in my dream, the same dream furnished me with ammunition which balllod death when he attacked us. My mother went to heaven without knowing that the bag of mustard she sewed in my coat ■saved my life and that of my com rade.” "How did I become a fisherman?'' said till disciple of Izaalt Walton. "It was in this way. Once upon a time I had friend whose strange perform ances excited my scoffs and jeers. In the midst of winter, when every creek and river north of the Tropic of Can cer was locked in crystal ice. he would bring fortji from some hidden recess of his room a collection of rods of lancewood, ash and split bamboo. These would he caress and join to gether and swish from wall to wall to the imminent danger of his bric-a brac, all the while a smile as of triumph lighting up his bronzed and healthy countenance. “Also, though there was naught of liquid anywhere around save a pitcher of foaming beer, would he produce long lines, such as men are wont wherewith to angle, and would discourse with much apparent knowledge of the vir tues of braided silk and waterproof enamel. Finally, when his enthusiasm had reached the highest pitch, he would display a curious store of gaudy flies, with cruel hook deftly concealed i by feathers of many hues, and then the divine frenzy seemed to possess him. His language became unintel ligible. He talked to me as in an un known tongue, and I, being ignorant 1 and uninitiated, would mock him and r laugh him to scorn. "I cannot remember, so long ago was 1 it, how many months or years he stood my unfeeling jests. At last, however, j he luted me to a pleasant place by thi I river, where the mountains touched the slsy and where the rippling waters made music to my ears. Then he placed in my hands a long and slender rod. which seemed no heavier than a wisp of straw, and having fastened a minnow to a lint*, bade me cast tho halt into the clear running water. Still scoffing, I obeyed. I had not long to wait. •'Presently the reel merrily choked, in the distance the water began to churn, the supple rod bended like Diana’s bow, a thrill ran through me. Instinctively I felt that the future of all things earthly and eternal depended upon my safely landing the struggling, fighting ilsh. Minutes, which seemed to he hours, flew by more swiftly than the dead leaves upon the current. My heart beat faster and faster, and when there Anally dropped into ,my friend’s landing net a splendid bass, I felt my self a greater conqueror than Alexan der. River and mountain and sky were wreathed in new glories. The blood rushed through my veins as though I had imbibed the ichor of the gods. “From that day to this I have been a fisherman.” A good game was worked recently on a clerk in a drug store, who was the victim of his good nature. A youth, ac companied by his best girl, entered the store. They were evidently on good terms with the clerk. After a few moments’ conversation the latter ten dered the young man a cigar from the show case, over which they had been talking. The recipient accepted it with gratitude but suggested that the young woman be offered a cigar also, in order that she should not feel offended at being left out while the eigars were being passed around. So the clerk offered a cigar to the young woman, who accepted it with a matter-of-fact air, sniffed of the wrapper in a casual way, but still approving, and placed the weed in the front of tier dress, not having that which a man carries al ways when dressed, to the number of from 10 to 14. When they got outside of the store the cigar was transferred to the youth, both enjoying the easy manner in which it bad been obtained. The clerk didn’t see the game. A resident in a small town, not a long distance from Augusta, had a visit from a German friend who knew very little English, but played the violin well. One of this resident’s neighbors gave a “musical evening.” and, of course, lie and his visitor were invited. The German took his violin, and wh- n lns turn came he played one of his best pieces, from one of the great masters. When he had finished there was an awkward silence, and no applause. The people were still looking expect antly at the German, who looked dis appointed and Mustered. The silence fcrew painful. Finally the hostess, quite rid iri the face, edged over to the side of the German's friend. “Can’t you get him too?” she whis pered. “What «lo you mean?” “Why. now that he’s got tuned up isn't he going to play something?” A Letter from Mrs. Mary Dame Hall. President of the Sorosis Club of New York, to A. E. Little Co. of Lynn, Mass., the makers of the now famous shoe. 'My Dear Sirs—I am wearing the Sorosis shoes you so kindly sent me.

The Portland papers of Friday mum ins. announced that Alderman Hounds of that cily. who was nominated as a candidate to tile Legislature, had prob ably resigned, and one paper said lie bad resigned.

The movement which was started six weeks ago, with the purpose of do ing the greatest amount of work with the least possible restriction of or ganization and red tape, makes a fair showing of w..rk quietly accomplished, during the sultry summer days, two boxes having been all ready sent to the hospital at Chfickainauga. containing but night shirts. cotton drawers, hand kerchiefs, socks and fans. Over $t*0 in money has been contributed for ma terials besides one piece of cotton donated by Messrs. Fowler «.y- Hamleu. The coining of peace will not at once put an end to these labors, for while we hear id* the hospitals over flowing with sick and wounded, the needs of our brave soldiers must be great for a long time. Consequently the Unitarian parlois will continue to be up. n every Wednesday and Friday, from 9 A. M. (ill P. M.. and there will be ample opportunity for all those to lend a hand, whose Interest in the cause Is unquestioned, but who have been hitherto unable to show their willingness. Further contributions of money are solicited, and ^workers are urgently requested to come to th front. It seems needless to restate that sect and party are unrecognized in this work, blit the question has been many times asked, is this a Unitarian movement? Emphatically “no.” The Unitarian Society gladly gives the use of its pleasant and convenient par lors, but claims no precedence, in the work, which is the common interest of everybody at this time, as has been shown -by the united labor of individ uals from all the societies. Do not let the devoted few do it all. Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Getchell were in Portland. Thursday, attending the re union of the 1-10-29 Regimental re union.

Some Interesting Decisions on the Liability ot an Employer. An interesting inquiry frequently arises 'whether an art is within 01 outside of the scope of a servant’s em ployment, espec ially whore it is sub stantially to serve1 some purpose of his own rather than to promote his mas ter's interest. The most amusing ease of this kin,: that lias ever come to our notice i.* Winkler vs. Fisher, l»r* Wisconsin. 3."ia Mr. Fisher, the elder, told Ite- defend ant, his soil, aged Pi, to go into a cer tain field and shoot crows and lie would give him in cents apiece. Instead of tilts, young Fisher went squirrel hunting wi.h another hoy. ant having captured two they went to .1 neighboring house to get a string to ti, tile animals together, and in the course of the visit young Fisher carelessly and unintentionally discharged h is gun, and the shot dotted the plaintiff's eye. The jury found for the plaintiff, but the appellate court reversed the judg ment. holding that hunting squirrels for fun was not shooting crows for re ward. and therefore was not within the scope of the employment. Another ease, net so amusing, is Kai ser vs. McLean, 20 App. Div. 228. The defendant, a contractor to build an elevated railway, employed a man to light lamps at the works and keep boys away. Boys intruding on the work, tie threw a stone at them and chased them away beyond the structure, and one of them unnecessarily ran on a railroad and was killed by a train. It was held that tin* employer was not liable. “There was no evidence that he was employed or authorized by his employer to commit any assault upon anybody in keeping his lamps lighted and the boys away from them." i)ne judge dissented, and we think lie was right to a certain extent; the mas ter would have been liable if the stone had killed the boy. But there is some doubt on the point of proximate cause, and the court seems to imply this, for they say there was no need for the boy to run on the track, he might have run in another direction with the other boys. In striking contrast is the decision in Meade vs. Chicago etc., U. Co., 68 Mo., App. 921. holding the defendant liable for the act of its servant, employed to keep "bums" atvay from the station, in saturating plaintiff's clothes with ben zine and setting lire to them.—Green Lag.
