MADRID, July 22.-The minister of
puoiic instruction, Senor Gamazo. is
authority for the statement that peace
honorable to the Spanish army will
shortly be concluded. In an Interview
IN the Correspondence Militaire. organ
OF the army, Senor Gamazo is quoted
as saying:
The suspension of constitutional lib
erty cannot be agreeable to the press
because 1t abridges freedom and pre-
vents the publication of news which
costs so much. But at this moment
what can the government do but check
the hostile campaigns waged against

my seat In parliament that / consider
we Old service to the country. At
the same time I can give you good
news. The suspension of the consti-
tuition will not last long. One of them

pie and the army It is not for me tn
discuss the objects of the government.
which is in the first place to secure an
honorable peace that will satisfy the
army. After that, if Senor Sagasta still
holds Office, he will ask the queen re-
gent If she still has confidence in her
ministers"
The directors of the leading newspa-
pers waited on Senior Sagasta, the
premier, late this afternoon and urged
him to abolish the existing state of
siege and censorship.
According to a dispatch from Hong

LONDON, July 23.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says
-"Senor Sagasta told a representative
of Ell Impartial today Friday) that the
government had already entered upon
the preliminary stage of peace negotia-
tions.
Gen. Polavieja has arrived and will
have an audience with the queen re-
gent tomorrow"
A SPANISH MOSES.
LONDON, July 23-A special dis
patch from Madrid says:
THE arrival of Gen. Polavieja has
increased the persistent .alk of a cabi-
net crisis. Opinions differ as to whether
semi-military cabiret would make for
peace or for a cont nuance of the war:
but all are agreed that it would at any
rate put an end to the present policy.
"The belief Is current in Madrid that
the delay in Commodore Watson's
starting is due to desire to give Gen.
Polavieja time to form a cabinet and
Sue for peace.'

Mayor Kdefer and a half dozen mem
bers of the board Of aldermen held a
conference last evening. The matter
under consideration WAS the proposed
changes in the police department. The
mayor has for the past month been
working out Reorganization of the
police force, and with the assistance
of Jake Stadtfield a plan of action was
decided on, using as a basis for the
removals the nationality question.
Stadtfield, who some years ago was
connected with the taking of the CEN
sus here and afterward the taking Of
the figures over to Minneapolis, has
devoted the best part of the past year
to making tables showing how many
voters there were In each ward Of the
several nationalities. His figures show
that there are about $4,000 voters, and
of this number about $4,000 are Ger
mans, about one-half that number
ScandinaYians, and the balance Amer
leans and other foreigners.
Mayor .Kiefer had the changes all
cooked up on the Stadtfield figures, but
he ran against a snag in the announce
ment that several of the councilmen
and especially Quaftette in the board
of aldermen would not stand for re-
movals on this basis.
Sinces;.this discovery was made the
mayor has been much worried, and
the session last evening was called for
the purpose of "squaring" those of the
aldermen that could be reached.
The lists of the policemen marked for
slaughter was spread before the mem
bers of the board who were present at
the caucus last night, and it was
shown that by voting to remove them
each Of the aldermen could have the
naming of a fair proportion of the men
to fill the vacancies.
The thing looked good. and it is un-
derstood that sufficient number of

HEARD IN WASHINGTON.
Unofficial Notification of Peace Ru-
mOrs.

WASHINGTON, July 22-(Special)-
1t is Unofficially announced here, to-
night, that there have been made to
the government overtures looking to-
wards peace with Spain. Just what the
conditions are could not be ascertained,
but the report that such negotiations
are on is widely believed. The result
depends almost wholly upon conditions
offered.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-23

there will follow complications such as
have not yet confronted the Americans
in the war with Spain. The Cubans
cannot be permitted to run a war in
Cuba Independently while the Amer,
leans are engaged in subduing the
Spaniards there. Friction is certain to
come, sooner or later, and 1t is being
whispered about In the national cap
ital tonight that steps will at once be
taken to check the Cubans in their
wild programme before they have had
time to carry it into effect. Some go
SO far as to say that Gen. Shafter has
notified the government of the serious
ness of the situation, and that the gov
ernment is wisely suppressing the fact
until it can decide what is the best
course to pursue.
AGUINALDO AGGRESSIVE.
After Garcia comes Aguinaldo, the
Filipino chief, whose aggressiveness
threatens to give the government
world of trouble. The Filipino chief
has declared dictatorship in the Phil
ippines, announced that martial law
is in force, and when the governor
general, Gen. Merritt, arrives, there is
every prospect that there will be a
certain amount of conflict as to author
ity. Gen. Merritt will assume control
of everything on the islands, including
Aguinaldo and there is where the dan
ger line is drawn. Aguinaldo Is known
to be shrewd politician. and it is
feared he may become troublesome be-
fore he Is convinced that the United
States is in full control of affairs in
the Philippines What to do with the
Spanish possessions after they are
taken is therefore the most serious
problem now confronting the govern
ment
TO ANNEX PORTO RICO.
1t is expected that within a fortnight
Porto Rico will have become a part Of
the territory of the United States. 1t
is said to be the intention of the gov
ernment to push the campaign against
Porto Rico with a view to subduing
the Spaniards there as quickly as pos
sible-and before peace negotiations
are inaugurated. The president will
Immediately annex the island as a
war measure. and when the discussion
of peace terms is on Porto Rico will be

but as territory of the United States

 MAY BE MATCHED
A Permit From the Supervisors the Only Obstacle in
 the Way.
National Club Men Sanquine of Se- curing the Battle-The Wires
 Kept Hot.

For some time the National Club has been making endeavors to match George Green with Tommy Ryan, the famous welter-weight. and affairs have now reached a pass where practically all that stands in the way of ultimate sue cess Is the reluctance of the Board of Su- pervisors in granting permits for boxing contests.
 Ryan has been wired several times in regard to the proposed match, and has signifed his willingness to meet Green, provided satisfactory articles of agree ment can be decided upon. Manager Groom telegraphed him Monday that the club would give 50 per cent of the gross receipts. the purse to be divided accord ing to the will of the fighters themselves
 Up to late hour last evening no an- swer had been received, but one Is eX- pected to-day. It Is believed that the Syracuse pugilist will accede to these terms and will start for this city as soon as he learns definitely that the club can secure permit.
 Messrs. Gibbs and Groom are confident that the board will grant them a permit for February. and if their hopes are realized the fight will take place other arrangements being settled, in the lat ter part of next month, presumably on the 24th. Green is perfectly willing to agree to the terms mentioned and pre- fers to fight at catch weights There can be no doubt that Ryan will prefer catch weights himself. and if the Supervisors recover from their attack of the marble heart in time lovers of the ring may eX- pect to see clever battle.

A VICTIM OF DESPONDENCY
Robert JohDson. Sailor, Com- mitted Suicide Early Last
 Evening on Ke0rny Street.

Robert Johnson. a sailor, fatally shot himself last evening at 6 o'clock in a room in the Fremont House on Kearny street. Immediately after the shooting he was taken to the Harbor Receiving Hospital and attended by Drs. Hill. Za- bala and Thompson, but the efforts of the physicians were without avail as he died soon after the arrival of the patrol wagon.
 It was discovered that three bullets had entered the abdomen and one the roof of the mouth. The cause is thought to be despondency, superinduced by al coholic stimulants. Il is known that the deceased had been with a well-known woman during the previous day and had spent his all buying liquor.
