London, Sept. 10.—According to the Madrid correspondent of the Times, tbe following is the text of the negotiations of the government to conclude peace: “The reverses suffered by our army in the unequal struggle to which we were driven in order to defend the honor of tire nation and maintain its rights, deprived us, at an early stage, of the elements required for continuing the war. The bravery of our soldiers and sailors proved insufficient, as did the calm attitude of the nation, ever ready to sbed its blood and sacrifice resources for the honor of the Spanish tiag. "Separated by wide seas from the territories it was our object to protect, and these territories being closely block aded, so that our few remaining ships could not reach them, her majesty’s government has been compelled to ad mit the bitter truth, that an end must be put to the waj “The sense of responsibility entailed by tbe preliminary ;>eaee negotiations had weighed heavily on tbe govern- i ment Notwitstanding it fully appre ciated its duty towards the country, the government has had to consent to these preliminary negotiations and to bow to the cruel sacrifices imposed by sheer necessity. “For this reason, and because peace , rrsti’t b- purchased atthecoet of cession of territory and the abandonment of sovereign rights, the government has thought it expedient to sound tbe cortes before concluding the treaty, tbe ratifi ! cation of which will be duly notified to both chambers in accordance with constitutional law.” The government, whose moderate language will not be found fault with by the representatives of the nations, limits itself to submitting to the cortes the following bill, whose only article is: “The government is authorized to renounce rights of sovereignty and to cede territory in the Spanish colonies in accordance with the peace prelimin aries agreed upon with the government of tbe United States of America.” The Times correspondent says the bill is signed by all the ministers. GAVE THE PRESIDENT A FLAG. Spanish Colors Captured by tbe Amer icana in Porto Rico. Washington, Sept. 10.—By direction of General Miles, President McKinley has been presented with a Spanish flag which was captured by American troops at Coamo, Porto Rico. It was taken from the barracks at Coamo by the Six teenth Pennsylvania volunteers, to gether with 200 Spanish prisoners, who were endeavoring to retreat. Colonel Biddle, who was accom^- nied by Captain Harry Alvin Hall, of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania infantry, made the presentation speech. The president, in reply, oomplimented the American troops on their courage and soldierly conduct throughout the cam paign. When the committee left the White House the flag was sent to the adjutant general’s office, where it will remain until it is put on exhibition, probably at the national museum. DUTIES Spain'« ON RELIEF SUPPLIES. Exorbitant Demand May Not Be Complied With. Washington, Sept. 10.—The order directing the payment of tbe Spanish duty on rations carried by the Comal to Havana for tbe starving inhabitants of Cuba has been held up, pending fur ther information on the subject. In answer to a cable message as to what the duty would be, a reply’ stated that it would be, according to the Spanish rates, «60,000 in gold. No agent of the United States government has any money on hand at Havana, and it may be that tbe United States government will take a different course than that decided upon last evening. By the terms of the protocol, Spain relinquishes her right to Cuba, and the United States government may decide that it will not pay duties on such car goes as are sent in the Comal. Government I. Isolated. Government One-Half the Volunteers to Remain in Servioo. NEW POSSESSIONS DEMAND IT The PreR I dent* 9 Reply to Several of the Governor«—One Hundred Thounaud Men to Be Mustered Out. Washington. Sept. 9.—Late in the day the following was given out at the war department: “In response to the request of the governors of some of the states for the mustei-out of their entire volunteer force, the president replied in sub- stance, as follows- “ ‘Answering your telegraphic re quest for the muster-out of your regi ments, I have already determined that 100,000 of the volunteers shall be mus tered out of the service. This is be cause, in my judgment, that number can be spared. About 100,000 will remain, as the government now re quires in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines a larger army than the regular military establishment affords. The muster-out, like tbe muster-in, will be as nearly as poesible according to the population of the several states. The suggestion to muster-out all of the volunteers from your state cannot, therefore, be entertained. The secre tary of war has already inquired of the governors of the several states what reigments in their judgment can, with the least inconvenience, remain in the service. Their advices will, so far as 1 am concerned, if consistent with the public interest, be complied with.” Mast Give Up Arms. Washington, Sept- 9.—The muster ing out of tbe volunteers will be fol lowed fey vexations and troubles for officers of the regular army and for many of the volunteers themselves. This is due to a misapprehension on the part of eome 'of thq officers of the volunteer organizations respecting the property of tbe government which they have in their possession. The govern ment will require that every article be accounted for. Every offioer or man in the volunteer service who has charge of division property will have to ac count for it before he can be mustered out and paid. It is the intention of the war depart ment again to supply the states when the guns and aims are accounted for, but in order to keep a straight account in the department’s records, it is neces sary to have them first returned to the department. The same is true of other government property. TWO Storm KILLED, FIVE HURT. In New York Blew Down Bridge Superstructure. New York, Sept. 9.—The first gust of wind that preceded tbe thunderstorm at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon blew down the heavy iron superstructure ol the new pier No. 50 at tbe foot of West Twelfth street, killing two men and in juring nine others. There were 90 men at work on the superstructure when it fell in on them. Those killed are: John Leonard, iron worker, died at New York hos pital; Samuel Patterson, died on tbe dock. Of the 130 men who were at work on the structure at the time of the acci dent, all have been accounted tor. The new pier is 800 feet long, and is being erected by tbe Wilson Steamship Company. The heavy iron beams and girders were up and the iron loot was on. When the storm loomed up from the southwest, a tremendous blast of wind rushed in under tbe superstruc ture and fairly lifting it from the pier allowed it to drop again in a mass of twisted and gnarled debris, burying tbe men under it. During the lull that intervened be tween the first roar of the wind and tbe sharp metallic creakinge of the twisted and riven iron could be heard the piti ful cries and moans of tbe wounded. The uninjured made a rush for tbe shore end of the pier and buddled to gether, trembling with fear in the large shod of the time-keeper there, leaving their fellow-workmen crying piteously for help, lying under the mass of twist ed iron, all of them too badly frightened to assist in rescuing tbe injured men. An alarm of fire was sent in, and soon brought out two companies of fire men, who went to work to rescue those under the debris. Madrid, Sept. 10.—Newspapers as sert that the government is surprised I and chagrined at the attitude of the conservatives of tbe chamber, which ' indicates that tbe government is iso lated on questions ofjsuch magnitude as ! the conclusion of tbe peace treaty. Continuing, the papers express the opinion that this foreshadows the down fall of the ministry. The chamber did not meet today. The cabinet this morning decided to take the most strin gent measures to prevent the publica tion of the proceedings ot the cortes, and to provide for a censorship of tele Board of Inquiry.

INDIES WEEKLY TRADE. Alter« Cuba Rico Tariff». »nd Purse Washington, Sept. 9.—Some changes n the Cuban and Porto Rican tariff ates have been approved by the preai- ient and cabled to the United States i itticeis in those islands. In the former ates on both islands the importation of rleomargarlne and such products was prohibited; under the new arrange ments it will be admitted at the same rate as butter. Another change was made in the ad ministrative features of the Cuban tar iff. There was a provision that when goods were brought in and not entered for duty within 90 days tbe officer in charge could seize and dispose of them it public sale. Under the new provis ions tbe 90 days may be extended to six mouths, in tbe discretion of the offioer in charge. Tbe government is doing what it can to facilitate tbe operations of trade in the Cuban and Porto Rican ports that come into the (toseeseKm of tbe United States. The department has been ad vised by representatives of large com mercial bouses in New York that bonded warehouses are badly needed r Santiago, and that the absence of these facilities is doing much to prevent com merce from resuming on American trade. Acting under the advices of the sec retary, Acting Secretary Meiklejohn tent the following telegrams under late of September 5: “Commanding General, Santiago: Y’ou are authorized to lease a building for thestorageof imported merchandise now entered at the custom-house upon which duties may be paid at any time within 90 days after importation, pro vided in paragraph 41 customs regula tions.

Coballie, Guillermo de Salde, M. P. Booth and II. G. Runkel. Henry D. MacDonna, secretary ol the company, said: “The company has been organized for the purpose of taking advantage of the extraordinary economic transforma tion now at work in Cuba and Porto Rico. It intends to renovate old en terprises and create new ones in these prodigouslv rich islands, and to that end lias secured tbo co-operation ot conservative men of wealth and enter prise.” To Encourage Manila Hemp Trade. Washington, Sept 9.—Tbe imposi tion of import and export duties on hemp brought into and exported from Manila und from and to other ports in the Philippines still under Spanish control has been found to work a great hardship to dealers and almost to ruin business. In view of this fact, tbe treasury officials have recommended to the war department, which exercises control over the collection of duties in the Philippines, that on exports of hemp the import duties be refunded, thus making but one duty charge. The suggestion also has been made te war department officials that tbe inter diction which prohibited the clearance of vessels from Manila toother ports in the Philippines be removed. Now that the war is over, it is felt there is no further necessity tor this prohibition. PECK’S NEW PLAN. School Superintendents to A anlnt In Se curing Lafayette Monument. Chicago, SepL 9.—By direction oi Commissioner-General Peck, Robert J. Thompson, secretary of the Lafayette monument commission, has appointed the superintendents of education of al) tbe states and territories upon an hon orary advisory committee of the monu ment association. His letter of ap pointment in part is as follows: “It is proposed that in raising tbe Lafayette monument fund, that ths schools of America be utilized as the agency for reaching tbe people and pro curing the contributions, and to this end 1 urgently request that you ask, at early as convenient, that the teachers and officers of your schools, colleges and universities (public and parochial!, recognize October 19, tbe date of the fall of Yorktown, to which Lafayett« Oontributed so largely, as Lafayette day, and that they devote a part of tbe day mentioned to a relation of tbe historic I events pertaining to Lafayette and tire early days of the republic.” In Boston Harbor.

' [Reported by Downing, Hopkins A Co., Inc.. I Board ot Trade Brokers, 711 to "14 Chamber or ' Commerce building, Portland, Oregon.] The wheat market was a very dull 1 iffair during the past week; foreigners will not buy and farmers will not sell. The principal item of news during the week was the September report of the i statistician department of agriculture i showing the following average oondi- i tion September 1: Corn, 84.1; wheat, ' 86.7; oats. 79.0; barley, 79.2; rye, 89.4; buckwheat, 88.8; potatoes, 77.7. The decline in the average condition i }f corn during August was 2.9 points, j and the condition on the 1st inst. was I 4.8 points higher than on September I, 1897; 6.9 pointB lower than on Septem- ber 1, 1896, and 0.8 of a point higher than the mean of the September aver ages for the past 10 years. There was marker.! decline during August in several of the principal corn- j producing stales, the decline amount- , ing to 10 pointe in Iowa, 9 points in Kansas and 23 points in Nebraska.
