At the conference between President Mc-Kinley and Ambassador Cambon last week, the President submitted the following as the terms of peace 'The President does not now put forward any claim for pecuniary indemnity, but requires the relinquish ment, of all claim of sovereignty over or title to the island of Cuba as the immediate evacuation by Spain of the island the- session to the United States and evacuation of Porto Rico immediately and other islands under Spanish sovereignty in the West Indies and the cession of an island in the Ladrones. The United States will occupy and hold the city, bay and harbor of Manila, pending the conclusion of a treaty of peace which shall determine the control, disposition and government of the This ultimatum was forwarded by Ambassador Cambon toths Spanish government. It is believed that the Spanish government has accepted these terms, but no official notice has been received.

Unofficially, the President has been informed that the Spanish ministry has acceded to the terms of this country for acessa of the war. The unofficial ad vices have reached the President in the form not only of press dispatches, but of private dispatches from confidential agents of the United States government. It is now thought that active hostilities have ceased and that a treaty of peace will soon be concluded between the two countries. By the terms of the peace Spain will lose much, if not alip of her colonial empire and our country will in all probability, acquire do minion over many and ports. Let us hope that she 1 1 win not, suner more in acquiring them than Spain will in losing them E.

D. Sanford, of Yadkin, one of the anti-Linney insurgents in the Eighth district, has been district, has been ap pointed a land agent by the govern ment. His work will be in the far West. We will gamble on it that he is now a "pacihco," and that the juuebug statesman had something to do with granting him "auton omy." Bismarck Dead. Prince Bismarck, the great Ger man ex-Chancellor, died at his home at Friednchsruhe, Prussia, Saturday night at 11 o'clock.

He had been unwell, but his death was in the nature of a surprise. He was born April 1, 1815, and died July 30, 1898 being over 83 ye'ars old. He became prominent in political and diplomatic circles inl846. In 1862 he became First Minister of the Prussian Crown. Within the next ten years he humbled the Austrian empire, destroyed the French empire and created the new German empire.

He remodelled the map of Europe, dismembering Denmark and France. He enlarged the frontiers of Prussia by the annexation of various provinces, including the dominions of three dethroned German Princes, and succeeded in plac ing Germany, which had previously been the weakest and least respected of all the great powers, at the head of all the States of Europe. The North German Confederation, with Prussia at its head, was established in place of the old Bund, while with the South German an offensive and defensive alliance was concluded, giving the King of Prussia supreme command of all their troops in time of war. Of the North German Bund, Count Bismarck was created Chancellor and President of the Federal Council. He resigned office in 1890, on account of disagreements with the present young Emperor.

He was the greatest man of modern Germany and was the creator of the present German Empire. t. Our Regiment to wo to ronu Special Telegram to the Mascot. Raleigh, August 4, 9 o'clock. Public in the dark as to progress 01 peace negotiations, but peace is certain.

Th Soldlsrs' Benefit I The concert last Thursday night in the college chapel under the man agement of the Ladies' Aid Society was ouite a musical treat.

One who could not enjoy such an evening harmony surely is not moved by concord of sweet sounds. Ouite a large crowd was present, more than the hall could hold. The was beautifully and artisti cally decorated with Cuban and American flags, among me nags could be seen the pictures of Hobson, Dewey and others of our naval and military heroes. The program was happily cnosen, blending harmoniously patriotic and classic selections. The orchestra, composed of Dr.

Chas. Turner and Messrs. John liar- bin, Chas. Stevenson, Hal Cowles and Will Lowenstein gave three selections solos were sung by Misses Mary Gage Walton, Luda Morrisou, Ray Whitlock, and Gertrude Kob-bius an instrumental solo was given by Miss Whitlock and an in strumental duet by Miss Whitlock a- 1TTMI' 11 and 33rs. William nanace.

Every number was greatly enjoyed by the large andience, whose appro: v-al was expressed in no uncertain manner. The members or tne or chestra deserve especial praise their playing was beyond criticism despite the fact that they have had slight chance for practice lately and were seriously crippled by the ab-. ii -1-41 sence ot sme 01 tneir most sKiueu and talented musicians on account cf ickness. Jiss Walton is well known to Statesville audiences, being one of our favorite vocalists. She did not disanpoint us, to those who have heard her sing we can say no more.

To most of the audience Miss Morri son's singing was a novel pleasure, this being the first time that she has gratified her music-loving towns folk in a public concert, tier selection 1 1 A was a most difficult one, but she sang it with rare sweetness and grace. Both Miss Morrison and Miss Walton were encored but did not respond. Miss Kay Wnftlock has a position the New. York schools of music and was instructor in music in tne i University summer school. All had seen so many flattering notices of her skill that we were expecting much, our hopes were more than re alized.

The technic displayed in the execution of her instrumental selec tions was only surpassed by the charm ot her vocal solos, we are not surprised that she has won such laurels in her art. Her repeatedly encored: she responded twice, the last time giving the most fetching coon song we haveevev heard. For the past vear Miss Robbins has been perfecting herself in her art in the schools of New York. Her singing reflected great credit on her training Her selection embraced four parts, each difficult of its kind. and exhibiting all the -varied emo tions that can be expressed in song, Miss Robbins showed marked excel lence in all.

Her voice is one of such rare 'sweetness, its tones of such liquid purity, that her songs are never forgotten but ever linger among memory treasures, ivlis. Robbins was most enthusiastically encored and responded with charming selection. Mrs. Wm. Wallace and Miss Ella Harwell played the accompaniment with especial grace and skill.

The receipts, which amounted to fifty dollars, have been forwarded the soldier boys of the Statesvillo com pany at Jacksonville Whenever the Ladies Aid Society give an entertainment we are sure it will be well patronized AMONO THE POLITICIANS.

Bailey, editor of the Biblical Recorder, Raleigh, the Baptist organ of the State, who was appointed a member of the Board of Agriculture by Governor Russell, has resigned that position. He gives his reasons and they show thai the Agricultural Department is full of rottenness and corruption under the present administration.

Chairman Simmons, of the Democratic State committee, recentlv addressed several respectful letters to J. M. Mewborne, superintendent of the penitentiary, asking for information in regard to penitentiary affairs. Mewborne replied in a coarse letter in which he attacked the Democratic party and Chairman Simmons personally, iut failed to give the information. Chairman Simmons then wrote him a letter in wmea te completely roasted him.
