End of the War - Nothing Settled
from the Columbia Patriot, May 22, 1894:
The peace conference at Ottawa in Canada got underway today, with representatives of both sides expressing confidence that a status-quo-ante agreement will be reached, returning both nations to a peaceful co-existence wtihout any land changing hands.
from the Richmond Courier, June 3, 1894:
WAR ENDS - President Northen appeared on the steps of Grey House this morning to announce to the waiting throng that the state of war with the United States officially ends at midnight, June 4.
"It is unfortunate that this conflict took place. Thankfully the duration of the war was short, and we hope to get back to a normal way of life as soon as possible," Northen said.
from the personal diary of Jesse Tannehill, June 10, 1894:
It's back to Kentucky for me - with the war over, I've been released from the Army and will go back home. I hope to resume my normal routine, I'm not sure if any of the boys from the Louisville club were lost in the fighting - I hope not, but the Yankees did cross the river and there was fighting near Louisville, so anything is possible.
from the Steubenville Observer, June 12, 1894:
The town welcomed home its hero, Lt. Denton Young, yesterday. Lt. Young, who served as aide to commanding General Shafter, was released from his military duties last week. Asked what his plans were, Young said, "I plan on going to Chicago and looking up Mr. Spalding. We've got some business to discuss."
