Third. the tvanspottation of the troops to Spain at the earliest possihie moment each force to he embarked at the near. est port. Fourth, that the Spanish otficee, shall retain their side arms and the enlisted men their personal property. The terms of the capitulatinn of Santiago. (softened Into Agreement) are as follows '. The agreement consists of ninearticles The first declares that all hostilities shall cease pending the agreement to final capitulntion. In addition to the city a large par of Santiago province has also been ced ed, and the Americans have now i firm foothold in Cuba. When will they leave it ? either side that such persons had be- come disqualified. " The memorandum sets forth the law, and the reasons in support of the belief that there was no intention to disqualify constables from voting. Except in the case of the re- turning: of1ieer, who has a casting vote the evident intention of the law is to disqualify persons who, being employ- ed tor money by one candidate or the other, have a direct interest in his elec- tion. Deputy returning oftieers and poll clerks are expressly allowed to vote, and it is fair to suppose that the reason is that they are not interested parties, but are in duty bound to act impartially for all. The constables are in precisely the same position, from the point ot view of justice and common sense, whatever the strict interpreta- tion of the law may be. The fact that they have been exercising the right to vote unchallenged for 30 years is a very strong point in their favor. Now that the question has been raised, the point is whether they shall be left in peril of being disfranchised by a pos- sible interpretation ot the strict letter ofthe law, or whether the Legislature shall declare plainly its intention that they are and always have been entit- led to vote. -Globe. Camam is back to Spain again and must have rueful forebodings of what may happen to him after the experience of Montejo and Cervera. The Santiago troops are. suffering greatly from fever and heat and the refugees are suffering hardly less. Santiago has been surrendered, and the Stars and Stripes float from the Municipal buildings ofthe city. This is the great fact of the week and it was done without bloodshed. Gen. Toral saw no hope and strove to make the be,t bargain he could and he has done well. The_Spanish troops over 20000 are to be taken to Spain at the States' expense, oftieers are to re- tain their side arms, ard so Spanish honor is gratified. The Americans are now straining every nerve to take Porto Rico, bit. fore Spain spoils the game by yielding Cuba, and Watson's tieet is about ready to start across the Atlantic, where their expected presence is causing conster- nation in coast towns. WITH GREAT POM}> 65 ARCHIVES TORONTO THE WAR Meteors travel in coniluiny, as at Certain periodslhe 0:111 h FI-sis through V“'/mnes" (it them, as in August and November when more are seen than usual. Besidesonce eVl-ry 33 years a dense ring of them is crossed or enter- ed when the effect is spoken of as a "shower" of shooting stars. This bril- liant display, when hundreds are seen at once for several hours, often caused consternation in ignorant times, and even yet there are found men and books which talk of the last display in 1866 as a warning of the end of the end of the world! Their appearance; has been recorded several times in history, and always agrees with the 83 year period. The next display is looked for in 1899, possibly in'Novem- her. 1 Meteors or "shooting stars" are small bodies, sometimes of tons in weight, pursuing their way probably with more or less regularity round some central body, and as, occasionally, one comes within the attraction of the earth, it is drawn towards it, and on striking the atmosphere, the friction caused by its speed at once makes it “take tire". It its speed is great en- ough'it will pass through the atmos- phere with a trash and resume its dark way through space, till again it reaches some atmospheric, or solid hotly. If its speed is entirely ovurcmne by the earth's attraction, it “falls" with great lirilliancy owing toitsrcrl hot condition and the weight of our planet is by so much added to. It was not without fatal effects in this neighborhood. Mr. John G. Campbell, who lives near Garryowen, had a cow killed at the very time. When found immediately afterwards she was powerless and almost dead, dying in a short time. On her shoulders and back was noticed a singed appearance, and when the hide was taken off the flesh underneath showed the effects of electric burning. As the sky was clear at the time, this makes the phen omenon more remarkable. " The brilliant and unusual meteor of Tuesday week has been seen over most of Ontario. Despatches saw it fell near Collingwood and the Owen Sound Adve1 tiser relates a case where apparently fatal results followed. We quote: As the chimes of the old cathedral rnngunt the hour of 12. ths. infantry mu] tawdry presented arms. and Capt, Mckttteick hoisted the Stars & Stripes. As tho brilliant, fold,; unfurled in a gentle hreeze against a fleekless sky, the cavalry band broke into the strains of "The Slur Spangled Banner," making the Anwrimn puke leap and tho Amen- can heart thrill with joy.
