PEACE TALK IN SPAIN.
Our Failure to Land I'm Cuba and
Porto Rico balances Manila.

MADRID, June 3.-Except among lingo
papers like the impartial, a sentiment in
favor of peace is growing. The corre-
spondent Of the Associated Press has
sounded several politicians and financiers
on the subject, and finds unanimity as to
the desirability Of a prompt and honor
able peace. The pluck of Admiral Ger
vera's fleet against odds, and the failure
of the Americans in their attempts TO
land in Cuba and Porto Rico. are regard
ed as balancing the Cavite disaster, while
evidence of the lack of sympathy for
America on the part of the natives of
Spanish Colonies, as the Spaniards argue
here, should convince the United States
that the motives for going TO war are
completely nullified.
These are the arguments heard in Ma
drid, and fostered by recent articles in
the Times, of Paris, which the Epoca
welcomes and endorses, believing them
sincere. Similar sentiments have ap-
peared in the Paris edition of the New
York Herald.
WE WILL LOSE NOTHING.
The Epoca says: "A nation grand and
powerful like the United States loses

favor of peace is predominant In Spain.
We are equally convinced that the war
has no foundation beyond a defence OF

for peace. They are convinced that the
Spanish position at Santiago is strong
enough TO repel the Americans. both by
land and by sea.

No Symptoms of Internationally

LONDON, June 4.-The Berlin CORE
spondent OF the Times says:
Manila advices to German CONNER
clal houses assert that there are no symp-
toms of instruction in Manila, which is
well supplied with water and provisions.
The presence Of the American squadron
hardly affects the native population. Only
foreigners are injured by the blockade

ernments ought to interfere to protect

ATLANTA's DEFUNCT FIRM.
Warrant Taken Out for the Abs
quatuIated Member.

ATLANTA, GA, June "a warrant
was taken out late tonight for John T.
Moody, senior member of the failed dry
goods firm of Moody & Brewster. The
accusation was sworn out by a member
of a big New York dry-goods' house.
which is a heavy loser by the failure. and
charges thai the firm OF Moody & Brew
ster went into the dry-goods business
with intent TO defraud.
Brewster, the missing member Of the
firm, is believed to be in Canada,
Claims against the defunct firm aggre-
eating $4,000 were filed during the day by
a New York bank.
MANY INTERVENTIONS.
Interventions poured in upon the Clerk
of the Superior Court to-day, to allow
creditors Of the failed firm TO get the
goods that are in the stores of the de-
funct concern. One law firm alone filed
interventions amounting to nearly $4,000.
The number Of creditors that have made
themselves known is overwhelming those
who hold debts against the concern in
notes and other claims not represented in
goods that are now in the house.
1t has been learned from the little in
yestigation that has been made that the
companys liabilities will greatly exceed
the amount first mentioned. 1t is said
that they now owe to banks $4,000, TO
guano and phosphate men, 100000, and
for merchandise, $4,000. These figures
would raise the debts OF the company
over $4,000.

He says that the the men are all

tingent is getting along as well as
they could be expected. The regi-
ment has been the healthiest of the
thirty in camp and has come out
rapidly under the drillidg through
which they have been put. The reg
iment has been trying hard to get
into condition to leave for the front.
They are now under orders and
will leave for Tampa in day or so
and will be rushed to Santiago as
the war department does not want
to take any chances. There will
probably not be any use for them
but they will be sent any way and
can be used elsewhere if they are
needed.
