SPAIN SEEKING PEACE
By ANY ROUTE CONSISTENT
WITH HONOR
A CABINET CRISIS AvERTED
By Minister Aunon's Promise to Try
to Carry Out the Peace With
Honor Program

Associated Press Special Wire
LONDON. May N.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times says:
The dominant public opinion here IL a
desire to find some way to an honorable
peace. as Spain has nothing to gain by an
indefinite prolongation of hostilities.
All idea that France will intervene, how
ever, is now abandoned and hopes are
fixed upon the possibility that the Duke
Almovidar de Rio, the new minister Of
foreign affairs, will find some fitting occa-
sion on which to take the initiative.
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Mail says:
The present outlook Is brighter and the
ministerialists believe that a cabinet crisis
can be averted. Captain Aunon, minister
of marine, declared in the cortes teeAy
that when an opportunity presented itself
the cabinet would not fail to do its best to
bring about an honorable peace.

Bowling Brook Does Not Object to Wet
Weather
NEW YORK, May 26.-It was frightful
day at Morns Park to-day. The rain
poured in torrents and the track was like
a quagmire.
The Belmont stakes, in which Hamburg
was down to appear for the first time in
his three-year-old form, was the feature.
There were four starters, with Hamburg
as the favorite. The start was prompt
and good, with Bowling Brook and Ham
burg out in front. They set a rafting pace
at the outset and SOON opened gap Of 10
lengths on Previous, while Gala Day was
furlong behind, in short order. Up the
hill they rushed like a team, but before
they had reached the summit Hamburg
was done to turn. Then Previous set
sail for the flying Bowling Brook, and for
a few seconds it looked as If he might
overhaul the leader. 1t was q useless
chase, for Littlefeld let out a length, and
It was all over. Bowling Brook crossed
the line half dozen lengths In front and
pulled in to an absolute walk, while Pre-
vious got the second place by ten lengths.
Results:
| Six furlongs-Hanwell won, lambert
second, Storm King third: time, 1:14A.
| Five and half furlongs-Kirkwood won
Extreme second, Kings Pride third; time

the sense used by army officials here. In
lieu of these, the companies not fully
armed are organized as preios. The duty
of the "preios" is to bring meat, ample
supplies being secured from Puerto Prin-
cipe. and vegetables, which are grown In
the woods. The system works perfectly,
Colonel Heranndez says, and the troops
are kept well fed and in good spirits. There
are no dress parades and none of the regu-
larity of daily drill used in the United
States army. The main occupation is in
making the long daily marches to keep the
men hardened.
1t is understood that the purpose of the
present visit of Garcia's officers is to give
that generals assurance to the authori-
ties here of his desire to give every posi-
BILE cooperation to the American move
ments. Similar assurances have come from
General Gomez and have been presented by
Senior Quesada. The Cuban officers have
made q good impression here and the au-
thorities were agreeably surprised to find
them men of ability, and soldierly bearing,
speaking English we'll. They will remain
some days longer and then return to Gen.
eral Garcia's camp.

TUESDAY, MAY 10, 1898.

In selecting Senator Sewell to be a Ma
jor General in the army, President Nc
Kinley did not get figure head or play
soldier, but one who has seen active work,
has smelled gunpowder and carries evil
dence Of having been in more than one
conflict. In August, 1861, he was mus
tered into the service of the United States
as captain of New Jersey regiment,
participating in several sharp engage
ments. At Charlottesville Gen. Mott
was compelled to retire owing to severe
wound, and Gen. Sewell took charge of
the brigade, and achieved one of the most
brilliant successes of the war, capturing
several stands of confederate colors and
regaining those which had been lost by a
New York regiment. He was twice
wounded. AT the close of the war Gen.
Sewell was made Major General for meri-
torious services but that was not his only
promotion, as he had been advanced sever
al times during the war. This appoint
ment will not necessitate the withdrawal
of Senator Sewell from the U. S. Senate
He will ask for leave of absence, which
will undoubtedly be granted.

Ninety Thousand Dollars

They have it. Shoes are no more
prosaic than is millinery-for there
are at least seventy-five entirely

is low cut.
This is more than a usual shoe
store, for our foot care starts with
designing right shoes, gathering
proper leather and watching the
making at every STAGE.
The shoe business hasn't centered
here by chance. We sold upwards
of a million pairs last year because
we deserved to sell them. Judged
by ruling shoe values-and we have
submitted the more promising shoes
from the other stores to the analysis
of the knife to know their structure

A Dress Goods Argument
AND SOME PRICES.

AND SOME PRlCES.
Plain fabrics-coverts, Venetians,
poplins, whipcords, and the like,
are in great demand this year by
women of fine taste. But plain
goods call for a care in the buying.
Be sure, first of all, of the quality
therein lies the beauty. Very
low priced dress goods have their
uses, but avoid them in plain
weaves. This group will give safe
and good selection
Plain color Poplins, ST to SITS
Mixed color Poplins, ST Is to S1.50
Covert Cloths, 81 to Sl.75
Whipcord Coverts, rs to SITS
There will be need for dresses of
rather rougher weave. for outing at
least; many will choose them for
all wear. So here are the Cheviots
and Serges. 75c to $1.75, and
fancy weaves from 371ac.
BLACK G00DS-High in favor,
fair in price, and a good black dress
is useful till the last of it is gone.
Fashion and popular favor center
on blacks this year.
All-silk Grenadines start at 371Sc.
Atwood ChalIis, 31c to SIPS.
Atwood Examines, 25c to SIPS
Plain Mohairs, 28c to 81.

There is more catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be incurable For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be a consti-
tutional disease and therefore requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in
ternally in doses from 10 drops to tea
