of the war department to abandon Camp

Fourth and Thirteenth infantry left this
morning and the Seventh will go this
afternoon.
There are 721 patients in the general
hospital. There was but one death dur

JAMAICA NOT FOR
UNCLE SAM
Movement Inaugurated in Jamaica
Having for its Object the Annex
ation of the Island to the Domin
nation Change of Nationality
Would Thus be Avoided, and Ja
maica's Troubles Brought to an
End.
New York, Sept. 14 The fate of the
movement of the annexation of Jamaica
to the United States is eealed, says the
Kingston, Jamaica, correspondent of
the Times. For a week or two the mat
ter has been talked over; talked to
death and allowed to drop.
This has not been owing to the lack
of sympathy from the better-informed
colonists and those whose material in
terests are involved in the future of the
island. It may safely be said that these
to a man, favored the proposition.
Otherwise, indeed, it would never have
reached the importanco that it did at
the outset. But the color prejudice
proved too strong, and even those who
realized most clearly the magnitude of
the crisis and the completeness of the
solution that annexation would afford,
dreaded to face the personal antagonism
that their support of the movement
would invoke. Hence, when the full
strength of popular opposition was felt,
open sympathy promptly vanished.-
The gravity of the ciisis remains un
altered, however, and the darkness of
the Ehadow of industrial gloom cast over
the island by the prospective annexation
of Cuba and Porto Rico into the United
States is in no way relieved by this
concessicn to an unreasoning, popular
prejudice.
- In best-informed circles it is felt that,
facing a demand for annexation to the
United States as an alternative, no re
presentations that the Barbadoes con
ference may make to the imperial gov
ernment will produce the least effect
on the policy of the home authoritiep.
For this reason there is already on foot
an alternative annexation proposal
which, while not nearly so promising as
that for admission to the United States,
yet holds out some prospect for relief
from the crisis that surely threatens the
island.
The proposal now is to seek admission
into the Canadian Dominion. While
the sugar market there is not eo large
as that of the United States, it is better
than none at all. On the other hand,
there will be no change in nationality,
and the color question would not be
touched. There are two cardinal points
at issue, and it might be that Canadian
annexation would eo assimialte them
and reconcile all conflicting interests f s
to be the most practical solution obtain
able. On this there seems to be an
agreement of popular sentiment.
It is not proposed, however, to take
any definite steps in the matter until
the Barbadoes conference has proved
its unity or otherwise. And no idea of
the outlook can be formfd here until
mail adviees are received of the course
of the deliberations of the conference.
This will not be until the end of this
week, for, although there is a telegraph
line to Barbadoes, the toals are so pro
hibitive as to preclnde its us.e.
That the Dominion government and
the people of Canada are favorably dis
posed, not only to the annexation of
Jamacia, but of the British West Indies
as a whole, is a strong point in the
propaganda; and the Canadian agent
here, one of the brightest and most
popular business men of Kingston, is
just the sort of a man to work cp the
movement.
QUEEN SIGNED
PROTOCOL BILL
Wcyler's Agitation Resulted in Adjourn
ing of Cortes.
Madrid, Sept. 14 The queen-regent
signed the protocol bill this evening.
The government had intended thecortes
to Bit until an indemnity bill for the
suspension of the constitutional guaran
tees had been passed, but the threatened
agitation on the part of Genetal Weyler
and others, together w:th the evidence
of divisions in both the liberal and the
conservative parties, convinced Senor
Sagasta of the advisability of closing
down debates, which would have hin
dered the free progress of the peace ne
gotiations. The cortes will be next con
voked to ratify the final treaty of peace.
It is rumored that Senor Perio, Senor
Crespo and Senor Lara, members of the
chamber of deputies, started for the
French frontier late this evening.
Deafness Cannot be:Cnred
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
named you have a mmbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine caws out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deaf ness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

M'KINLEY HAS
REACHED A
CONCLUSION
Has Determined Upon Phil
ippine Policy.
INSTRUCTS COMMISSINERS
They May Find It Necessary for Our
Government to Hold all of the
Islands Which Have Thus Far
Been Taken.
Washington Sept. 14. The members
of the peace commission saw the presi
dent this morning; and later spent two
hours in conference at the state depart
ment. Much satisfaction was expressed today
over reports from Madrid that the lower
house of parliament had passed the gov
ernment bill accepting the terms of the
protocol. The upper house already has
passed this measure, so that the last
fear of legislative opposition to the trans
fer of Cuba, the Ladrones and Porto Rico
is over.
There is little doubt that a general
line of policy has been agreed upon be
tween the president and his cabinet at
their meeting late yesterday, but there
is good reason for believing that the as
sertion that the decision was definitely
in favor of not permitting Spain 'under
any conditions to retain sovereignty in
any part of the Philippine islands is
based on a misconception, as the mem
bers of the cabinet and those of the peace
commission refuse absolutely to discuss
the subject with newepaper men, and,
therefore, what is said is based on infer
ence or roundabout information.
It is doubted that the commission will
start the negotiations at Paris with the
assertion that we have conquered Spain
in the Philippines and that Spanish sov
ereignty has aliady been forfeited.
This will Jfot, however, necessarily
signify that It is the purpose of the ad
ministration teYetain possession of the
entire group Of islands, or permanently
to deprive spain of h er possession of the
Pacific. - -
It is not believed that the adminis
tration has gone beyond determination
to retain the whole of the island of
Luzon, bnt it is understood to be the in
tention of the president to establish, at
the outset, the right of this government
to determine the fate of the islands, and
to make the conditions which gov
ernment shall be established there.
