man. It was through his influence
that the Central block was erected.
He also took an active part in plac
ing water works in our city. lie
has served several terms on the city
council and was, at the time of his
death, an influential member of that
body. At first he successfully con-

and the Ministry regard the war as over.
The ministers held a session today and il \ decided
that nothing remained for them but to accept the conditions im

When the minor del ils have been •>«•>( r the 1 lli-

in the mood to grant everything, and hopes to save herseil

arrange the [leace be appointed before the week is over.
The news of the Sagasta Cabinet's determination to ae
cede to the American demands was permitted to b known wi.li
the intention of testing the temper of the people. 1 he popu-

1 hings still to be discussed are the methods ol evacua-

West Indies and the extent of the American demands regard-
