Naval Commanders An Impressive
Ceremony at the White House Two
Commissions Provided For.
Washington, Aug. 15. With aim
plicity In keeping with repuolioan in
stitutions, the war which has raged be
tween Spain and the United States lor
a period ot three months and 22 days,
was quietly terminated at 28 minutes
past 4 o'clock this afternoon, when Sec
retary Day, for the. United States, and
M. Cam boo, for Spain, in the presence
of President McKinley, signed a proto
col which will form the basis of a
definite treaty of peace. ,
The closinsf chapter of events that
led np to the signature of the protocol
and the cessation of hostilities was full
of interest. Theie was rumors in the
early morning that over night the
Frenoh embassy had received the long
expected final an6wer from Madrid, but
these, upon inquiry, proved groundless,
as it was no", until 12:30 tnat the note
began to come from Madrid in small
lots. . .. .
The state department was soon ad
"vised of the fact that the message was
under transmission, but, as it was evi
dent that it would be long and that its
reception would occupy much time, the
secretary of etate left the state depart
ment for his luncheon.
At 2:45 o'clock Secretary Thiebaut,
of the French embassy, appeared at the
state department to inform Seoretary
' Day that the ambassador was in full
possession of the note, and was fully
empowered to sign the protcol for
Spain, and only awaited the pleasure
of the state department. He intimated
that the ambassador would be pleased
to have the final ceremony conducted
in the presence of President MoKinley,
where the negotiations were begun.
Ambassador Cambon reached the
White House at just 8:55 o'clock, five
minutes in advance ol the appointed
hour.
After an exchange of diplomatic
courtesies, unnecessary loss of time did
not occur, and Assistant Secretary ol
State Oridlor, on the part of the United
States, and First Secretary Thiebaut, on
the part of Spain, retired to a window,
where there was a critical formal exam
ination of the protocol.
This instrument had all the out
ward formalities due a document of
this importance. It was printed in
duplicate at the state department, one
copy to be retained by the United
States government and the other to be
come the property of Spain. The two
copies are alike, except that the one
held' by this government has the Eng
lish text in the first column, and the
signature of Secretary Day ahead of
that of M. Cambon, while the copy
transmitted to Spain has French in the
first column and the signature of M.
Cambon ahead of that of Secretary Day.
The protocol sent to Spain was ac
companied by the credentials issued by
President McKinley, speoiaMy empow
ering the secretary of state to affix hia
signature to the document The an.
thonzation wan brief and in typewrit
ing, save for the president's character
istio bold signature. Later the Ameii
can copy of the protocol will be acoom,'
canied by "the written credentials of
he Spanish government sent to M.
Cambon, and bearing the signature of
Queen Christina.
j The examination of the protocol was
satisfactory, and the document was
handed to Cambon first and then to
Secretary Day, who affixed signatures
in that order to each side of the two
copies. Then the last detail in making
the protocol binding was administered
'by Assistant Secretary Cridler, who at
tached the seal of the United States.
No credentials were produced during
the meeting at the White House, the
president accepting Secretary. Day's as'
euranoe that this had been settled to
bis satisfaction at the etate department.
It waa 4:23 o'clock when the final
signatures were attached to the proto
col, and, within the knowledge of all
officials present, this was the firBt time
that a treaty or protocol had been signed
at the White House.
Aa this ceremony concluded, the
president requested the hand of the
ambassador and through him returned
thanks to the sister republio of France
for the exercise of her good offices in
bringing about peace. He also thanked
the ambasssador personally for. the im
portant part be has played in this mat
ter, and the latter replied in suitable
terms.
Aa a further mark of bis disposi
tion, President MoKinley leal led for
the proclamation, which he caused to
be drawn up, suspending hostilities,
and signed it in the presence ot M,
Cambon, who expressed hia apprecia
tion of the action.

Orden to American Military ami Naval
Commander.
Washington, Aug. 15. The orders to
General Merritt to suspend hostilities
were as follows: : - , " V
' 'Washington Merritt, Manila: The
president directs all military opera
tions against the enemy suspended.
Pence negotiations are n earing comple
tion, the protocol having Just, been
signed by the two countries. You will

forces in the Philippines of these in
structions. Further orders will follow.
Acknowledge receipt 1 .
"Bv order of the secretary of war.
"CORBIN, Adjutant-General."
The orders sent to Miles and Shafter
were identical with the above. As the
order states further instructions will be
sent each general. General Merritt
will be directed to confer with the
Spanish commandant at Manila to carry
out the terras of the protocol and to oc
cunv Manila immediately.
General Mi'.e-t will put himself in com
munication with the chief authority in
Porto Rico for the purpose of having
the Spanish forces turn over San Juan
and other points to Iiun, preparatory
to evacuation.
Owing to the conditona in Cuba, the
orders to Shafter will be different from
those to the other generals. Orders
wore issued this evening to the naval
commanders at the several stations on
duty in Cuba and the Philippines, oar
rying into effect the directions of the
proclamation. The navy department
not only transmitted the president's
proclamation in full to the several com
manders-in-chief, but also directions as
to the dispositions of their vessels.
The following orders are in that sense
self-explanatory:
"Navy Department, Washington,
Aug. 15. Sampson, Santiago: Sus
pend all hostilities. Blockade of Cuba
and Porto Rico is raised. Howell is
ordered to assemble his vessels at Key

vessel, will come north with ber.
Washington, Aug. 15. President
McKinley has been the recipient to
night of warm congratulations form all
parts of the country on the successful
termination of the war.
Gratification In England.
London, Aug. 15. The morning pap
ers are unanimous in expressing grati
fication that the war is ended. The
Domment mainly turns on the fact that
the protocol leavea untouched the hard
est problems now facing America. The
limes believes it will be a real peace,
idding:
"We trust it is no violation of neu
trality to express the satisfaction of
the great majoirty of Englishmen in
America'! success."
SPAIN . IN MOURNING
Fublio Stunned by the Lost of the
Colonies.
London, Aug. 16. The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
The oomments of the press on the pro
tocol are a veritable funeral hymn on
the destruction of the Spanish colonial
emprie. Some days ago, tho desire
for peace made the people close their
eves to the prioe. but now. upon read
ing the protocol, they realize that the
cost is the loss of that empiie which
Snain had conouered with so much
glory, and that Spain now falls to the
second tank among nations. The pub
lic mind is stunned and there is general
mourning.
Generl Blanco telegraphs that Hav
ana is greatly agitated by the news of
the signing of the protocol, and that
much anxiety is manifested to learn the
conditions, which have not yet been
published. Some uneasiness is felt
retarding the effect that the text ol
the protocol may have on the Spanish
volunteers in Havana.
Many newspapers express grief and
despair that the men who brought dis
aster to Spain by lack of foresight, or
ganization and ability, should continue
to govern the country.
The Madrid Press.
Madrid, Aug. 16. The El Pais to
day prints the text of the protoool sign
ed by the United States and Spain
with mourning borders, and says:
"Spain, without colonies, is reduced
to the role of a third-rate power."
El Imparcial savs: "Peace will not
bring to Spain even the rest she so
much needs after three years and a
half of war."
El Nacional says, bitterly:
"If Spain had at least been van
quished only after a furious and heroic
struggle, she could resign nerseit.
Peace with the United States will only
be a momentary respite from our mis'
fortunes."
El Epooa saysi
"The peace is the saddest imposed
since the treaty of Utrecht," and ex
pressed the doubt if a government
which allowed itself to be dragged into
war will acquit itself well by nego
tiating peace.
El Liberal savs the article tn the
protoool relating to the Philippines
does not indicate that anything good
for Spain will be fixed upon, and the
question will not be settled favorably
for her.
El Globo (ministerial) prays for
peace between the United States and
Spain, and says the communications on
Eastern questions, which Day and Cam
bon have signed, begin the first chapter
in a new history ot Europe.
El Tiemp (conservative) says.
"Peace is an accomplished fact. The
bitterness of defeat does not prevent
us from seeing with satisfction the end
of the war."
DEATH IN A CLOUDBURST.
Twenty Person Met a Sadden End In
Tennessee.
Knoxville, Tenn., Aug. 16. A terri
ble cloudburst, in which at least 20
lives are known to have been sacrificed,
was last night visited upon the com
munity of Beach Creek, about 15 miles
north of Rogersville, Tenn., which
place is 80 miles distant from Knox
ville. The torrent of water fell in the
vicinity of the home of William Figan,
a well-to-do farmer, and bis entire
family, wife and five children, were
drowned, and washed away with the
flood. Figan, however, escaped. The

dition to the Figan family, are John
Arnold and Samuel Henry and wife
These people resided within a quarter
of a mile of the Figan home. This in
formation was received in this city by
friends of the deceased.
Searching parties have been formed
and are tonight looking for the bodies
of the unfortunates who perished in
the flood. It is, however, feared that
they have been carried to graves from
which they may never be recovered.
The oloud burst destroyed several
thousand dollars worth of property.
Whole crops were washed away and
palatial homes suffered the same fate
as the humblest hut in the path of the
flood.
It has been Impossible to communi
cate with the stricken community from
thin city on account of the fact that all
wire communication has been inter
rupted. The complete details of the
catastrophe are, however, expected by
tomorrow night, coming by mail. The
reports received up to a late hour to
night make it the most terrible affair
of ita kind experienced in this section
for many years.

Seattle, Wash., Aug. 16. Japanese

TALK OF INTERVENTION.
Prance's Siioe of China Already Marked
Out.
Paris, Aug. 18. The papers are full
of significance of the Chinese question.
The Matin says: "In China the great
est game in the world is being played,
and French intervention Bhould be
efficacious and decisive."
The Soir has a sensational article
headed: "War between England and
Russia is imminent."
The Journal des Debats saw: "Eng
land is now seeking an arrangement with
Russia. That understanding is impos
sible, unless Russia remains mistress of
the north and England is insured her
influence in the Yang-Tse river. In
short, the lines of the section are be
ginning "to be marked along which the
disruption would occur whenever China
falls to pieces. Clearly neither France,
Germany nor Japan could hold aloof
from such an agreement."
The article hints that France would
support Russia in event of war, and
eays in conclusion: "France will be
content with the southern provinces
bordering on Tonquin."

FIGHT IN CORTES BAY.
Bancroft in a Skirmish With Spaniards
One American Killed.
Key West, Aug. 13. One more name
has been added to the sninll list of
navv vitcims. News has reached here
that Emanuel T. Kourlourie, a coal I
passer on the gunboat Bancroft, was
shot and instantly killed during a sharp
engagement with Spanish riflemen in
Cortes bay, in south Pinar del Rio,
August 2. It is not known how many
Spaniards' lives paid for his, but the
Spanish loss was undoubtedly severe.
The Bancroft was oruising about
Cortes bay, on blockade duty, when a
sail was seen close to the land, about 10
miles to the northward.
The gunboat's steam launch was
armed with a one-pounder, and Lieu
tennt Henry B. Wilson, with 14 men,
all carrying lifles, was sent in to inter
cept the stranger. She turned out to be
a Spanisb schooner. When first ob
served, the Spaniard lay near thawreck
of the Santo Domingo, recently sunk
by the Eagle,
By the time the steam launch
reached that point, the schooner had
worked into a port, and a party of
Spaniards was attempting to haul ber
ashore. The launch stood boldly in,
and a brisk fire from ber one-pounder
scattered the crowd. The Spaniards
took refuge in high grass on the right
shore, but in spite of the fact that the
party in the launch waB Ignorant of the
enemy's strength the Americans went
ahead with their work with admirable
coolness. .
James Monroe, a first-class appren
tice, swam to the schooner and made
a line fast to her n order to pull her
out At the same time, Valdemar
Hohengren, an ordinary seaman
dropped over the side of tire launch
and made for a pier, where a small
sloop-rigged boat was moored. The
launch then commenced to haul off the
schooner, but the Hne parted, and
while another was being run to her, the
Spaniards, who had sought shelter in
the woods, poured in a murderous rifle
Are. Kourlourie, who was leaning
over the side of the launoh, was shot
through tle breast and fell dead. For
tunately no one else was even injured,
Instantly the men in the launch began
a rapid return of the fire with rifles.
while Lieutenant Wilson maneuvered
the launoh so as to take a line from the
steamboat, which had shoved off from
the pier. Ber bow was pulled out and
the one-pounder was opened on the am
buscade with such well-dlreoted aim
that the Spaniards were routed without
a ohance to return the American fire.
The schooner bad, in the meantime,
gone hard aground, and so damaged as
to be almost useless. Enough shells
were Bent into her to finish her destruc
tion. She was loadedwith green enrn,
grain and rum.
Commander Clover warmly praised
the gallantry of the launch 1 party,
which did not falter under heavy fire,
but directed all its energies to rescuing
Hohengren, who alone on the wharf
was in a perlious position.
Kourlourie was buried at sea the
same afternoon.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
(Reported by Downing, Hopkins & Co., Inc..
Board oi Trade Brokers, 711 to 714 Chamber of
Comjuirce building, Portland, Oregon.
The cash situation, which is srener
filly the main element in the market,
hows littlo change. The derrand in
some quarters failed to show as much
urgency, hut in others it was fully up
to previous weeks. The scarcity of
oash wheat, the result of farmers refus
ing to sell freely, is the underlying
strength. There were numerous bids
of 67o over September for No. 2 red,
and 8o over for No. 2 hard for export,
bu sales were slow. No. 2 red brought
72c and No. 2 hard 71o free on board.
In ordinary years this price would be
an attractive one to farmers, but this
season it is not. What the outcome
will be ia a puzzle. Farmers may be
able to carry their point and force spec
ulators to pay better prices. A great
deal depends upon the magnitude ot
the export demand. The rally at the
last was helped by reports that casn
wheat in Kansas City was up 2 4c,
and Minnesota 3 on cash wheat.
There was also a report about Russia
prohibiting exports, but it was denied
bv export houses in Paris. Receipt
everywhere were under last year's.
Tj3 Price Current waa rather bull
ish, and London reported the continent
buying cargoes off coast It is said
that praotically all the stock of the
oontraot wheat at Cbioago will be ship
ped out before the end of the week.
With no stock there and futures at a
discount there is not much, prospect ol
bears making large profits by selling on
the breaks. The government suggests
a Bprlng wheat orop for Minnesota ol
79,81,000 bushels; North Dakota, 46,
451,000 bushels; South Dakota, 41,-
898,000 bushels, a total for the three
states of 167,180,000 bushels. Last
year they had 109,686,000 bushels.
The general belief is that the depart
ment's acreage is too low.
Conflicting reports in regard to the
crop situation in Russia were circu
lated. The first received were unfavor
able. They started inquiries from
other sources. Dreyfus man at New
York said that the Russian situation
was favorable, though less in some sec
tions, and deliveries were rather light,
owing to rains having delayed thresh
ing. D. Bingham'a information wai
that the Russian crops were good.
