though, in view of the Presidents desire
to curtail war expenditures wherever pos
sible, it Is expected that they, too, will be
surrendered by the navy department in
the course of few days. In this case four
of the naval captains would be left with
out commands, namely, Sigsbee of the
St. Paul; Wise of the Yale, Goodrich of
the ST. Louis, and Cotton of the Har-
yard, for even If the vessels were used
as army transports the law would not
permit naval officers to command them.
Fire proof wood is again in full favor
In the navy, Secretary Long having today
issued an order requiring its use for decks
of battleships and monitors. the only
place from which it had been excluded
by preceding orders, ON account of some
commanders reports of dam pness. The
Secretary has decided that the battle of
July 8 has removed any doubt as to the
importance of protecting warships from
fire by the best means within reach. So
he will appoint board to consist OF
line officer, a naval constructor and a
chemist, to examine reports coming from
officers commanding ships fitted with
fire proof wood, especially those who We're
present in the battle where the Spanish
ships were burned . and he has instructed
the construction bureau to gather all the
information possible of this kind for sub

Secretary Long stated this afternoon
that no change had been made in the or

the Brooklyn is to be attached thereto,

Estrada Palma of the Cuban Junta,
when questioned today about the estrange-
ment between Gen. Garcia and Gen.
Shafter, said:
"There no danger that the Cubans
will permit a slight misunderstanding of
one OF their oountrymen-even OF
successful issue of the campaign. l know
that General Garcia as well as all the
Cubans, has too deep a sense of gratitude
towards the United States to harbor
slight or fanciful wrongs against their

The NEWS True.
Unofficial Report Reaches the
White House.

| Washington, August 2.-Shortly before
midnight. Secretary Alger, as he left the
White House after conference with the
President said the administration has res
ceived official information that the
Madrid government had accepted the
terms of the peace proposition of the
United States. Unoff1cially the Presi-
dent has been informed that the Spanish
ministry has acceded to the terms of this
country for a cessation of the war. The
unofficial advices have reached the Presi-
dent in the form not only of press des-
patches, hut also of private dispatches
from confidential agents of the United
States government.
While this government has strong
reasons for believing that its terms of
peace have been agreed to by the Madrid
government, the President !: is taking
nothing for granted. Arrangements for
pressing the war to successful conclusion
are going forward precisely as il no ne
gotiations for peace were in progress
At a conference participated in by the,
President, Secretary Alger and Adutjant
General Corbin at the executive mansion
tonight, final decision was reached as
to the constitution of provincial corps for
Porto Rico to be co mmanded by General
Wade The regiments which are to COM
prise the corps were decided upon and
will be designated in general order to
be issued probably tomorrow. Secretary
Alger said that ths corps might be en-
route to Porto Rico in week. Notwith-
standing those warlike preparations, the
belief in official circles tonight amounts
to almost conviction that active hostil-
tiles practically have been concluded.
A prominent official said ton light:
"The end is near in my opinion. The
information thus far received is unofficial
and meagrs, but that it is accurate, in
the main, we have no reason to doubt.
In fact we have reason to believe it is cor
rect"
1t is understood that the reason re-
ferred to is contained in the private ad-
vices received by the President and the
private dispatches received by representa-
tiyes ofSforeign governments.
Ambassador Cambon. who is conduct
ing the negotiations for the Spanish gov
ernment has not communicated so far as
could be ascertained with the President
tonight, and it is not probable that the
officials response to the terms proposed
by the United States has yet reached the
French ambassador.

THE WHEELING & ELM GROVE.
Council Committees Called to Meet This
Afternoon

This afternoon at four o'clock the Coun-
ell Committees on Railroads, Ordinances,
and Streets, Alleys and Grades, are called
to meet TO consider the new ordinance
of the Wheeling & Elm Grove Railway,
providing for a line from the present end
of the track at Fourteenth and Main
streets east on Fourteenth to the inter
section of Chapine, where a connection
will be made with the present line on that
street. 1t is the idea, between main and
market, to lay the north rail of the Elm
Grove track fifteen inches south of the
north rail of the existing Wheeling rail-
way track, and the south rail the same
distance south of the south rail of the ex-
listing track, the net result being that but
fifteen inches more of the street will be
taken up than is at present occupied with
the Wheeling company's line.

verbal petition by Lawyer Viii
f. Nix, on behalf of V. S. Simon
to permit Hassler Bros. to con
struct frame and corrugated iror
buileling in the rear of the store
they occupy was refused.
The scavanger ordinance wa
read and referred back to the
town attorney for final revision
An ordinance regulating grades in
certain west end streets was adopt.
ed with an amendment changing
the name of Union street, west, to
Dewey street, as suggested by
Mayor Mcclure at the last meet
ing.
The town attorney was instruct
ed to draw an ordinance covering
the construction of sidewalks.
1t having been demonstrated
that the town ordinances are in a
hopelessly muddled condition,
from amendments, repeals and
conflicting provisions, the clerk
and attorney were instructed to
re-compile them.
Mayor Mcclure brought up the
peddler licence question. He
said that people have been selling
groceries here, taking orders and
delivering the goods on the fol-
lowing day, to such an extent that
a car load was recently disposed of
here by these itinerant vendors.
Vegetable men, too, bought guam
titles of stuff to sell here, although
they were supposed to sell only
what they raised. He thought
that all lines of business were af-
fected by these practices and that
sufficiently high licenses should
be paid to afford protection tp r1aj |
,axes. The attorney was directed
TO draw as strict an ordinance as
possible to cover the matter COM
planned of.

by the board for Baleria g. Boggio,
