RUSSIA INTRIGUING WITH SPAIN.
She Wants Combination Against Our
Retention OF Philippines.

New York, July GA World dispatch
from Madrid says:
1t is authorltatlvely stated that Russia
Is even more active than even Germany
or Austria In automatically prompting
spain and in moving for combination Of
the continental powers to do something
TO check the United States.
At different stages OF the war the Rus
sian government has assured the Spanish
foreign ministry that 1t does not want any
European power nor America to be estab-
lished in Spanish archipeleagoes in ocan-
ica.l But for reasons OF Its own for not
wishing to appear too openly to help
Spain, fearing 1t might promote an under
standing between Great Britain and the
United States. Russia has encouraged
Germany to exert pressure at Madrid and
has urged France to take the lead in DEM
onstrations Of sympathy which the
French foreign ministry only reluctantly
consented to do.
Ever since then Russia and the vatican
with the aid of the Austrian court,
though contrary to the Judgment of the
Austrian chancellor, Count Goluchowshk,
have been arranging for concerted action
by the continental powers to interfere
both when an American squadron comes
to Europe, and when, in the peace nego
tiations the question Of the Philippines
comes up, then Russia and France will
dead in behalf of Spanish interests to
prevent the United States, Germany or
Japan interfering.

ment at 1850 posted the following notice.;

tary Of War, washlngton-The circum-

sistance, All the transports are now in
the harbor and the infantry and artillery
are rapidly going ashore, This is a well
protected harbor. The water Is sufllci-

spAIN ASKS FoR PEACE.
French Ambassador Submits the Proposal
to President Mckinley.


Washington, July 8.-The Spanish gov
eminent has sued for peace-not indirect-
ly through the great powers Of Europe.
but by direct appeal to President McKin-
ley. The proposition was formally sub
mitted 10 the president at 3 O'Clock this
afternoon by the French Ambassador. NJ.
Jules Cambon. who has received lnstruc-
tons from the foreign office at Paris TO
deliver 10 the United States govern
ment tender OF peace formulated By the
Spanish cabinet. At the conclusion OF the
conference between the president and
the French ambassador the following Of
fetal statement was issued from the
White House:
The French Ambassador, on behalf or
the government OF Spain and by direction
Of the Spanish minister for foreign at
fairs, presented to the president this at
ternoon at the White House a message
from the Spanish government looking to
termination oethe war and settlement
OF the terms OF peace"
This was the only official statement
made public, but It suffices to put at
rest all conjecture, and to make It clear
and definite that at last Spain has taken
the Initiative toward peace. Although
peace rumore have been current almost
daily since the war began, not one OF
them had a shadow Of foundation, and,
unit the French ambassador received in
structions from Paris late last night no
overtures of any kind had been received.
NJ. Cambon first went to the State de-
partment, where he was joined by Sec
rotary Day, and they then proceeded to-
gether TO the White House. The call last
ed about half an hour and after the first
formallties had been executed by NJ. Cam
bon the talk became general and quite
informal.
In the conversatlo n which followed the
reading Of the proposition, neither the
president nor the ambassador entered IN
to the question OF the terms of peace.
The instruction OF the ambassador had
been confined to one essential point Of
opening peace negotiations, and 1t was
evident that the president desired to
consider the proposition before giving
any deflnite reply.
1t was finally determined that President
Mckinley should consult the memebers
of his cabinet concerning the proposal.
Thus far there is no otflcial warrant
for saying what terms Spain win pro-
pose, or what terms the United States
viii offer to accept. SO far as this coun-
try is concerned It is the general impress
sion that the complete Spanish evacua-
tfon of Cuba and Porto Rico win be in-
sisted upon as sine qua non. There Is not
the same certainty as to the Philippines.

There are many people who insist that

resulted In the destruction Of ceryera's

Admiral sampson says: The New York

from the bridge OF the New York that

SHE WAS HURT IN THE WRECK
Mrs. Curn of Minneapolis Tells of the
Accident on the Omaha & Sc.
Louis Road.

Mrs. John Curn, one of those injured in
the Omaha & st. Louis wreck near Mary
vile, Mo-, "Wednesday morning, is the sis
ter Of Mrs. c.. Wait, 3131a North Fifteenth
street, where she is at present slowly re-
covering. Mrs. Curn's home is in Mime
apolis, Mimi, and she came south to visit
her sister here and other relatives in Mis-
souri,. She was in the forward coach when
the shock came and her car was thrown
completely over. Mrs. Curn says she had
Just finished her lunch and was collecting
the dishes when the car left Il" track and
rolled upon it's side. Mrs. Curn was thrown
from her chair and fell against an iron
brace on, the opposite side of the car. She
made an effort to regain her feet when
a second plunge occurred and she received
another hard fall, which bruised her badly
about the body and arm. She became un-
conscious and was only aroused some time
later to find herself in a Pullman coach
with several surgeons working over her.
Mrs. Curn was unable to form any opinion
as to the cause Of the accident except on
the supposition Of an insecure roadbed. The
rails seemed to spread apart, she said, and
the train was thrown from the track. The
occurrence took place just outside of Mary
Vile and the train had not attained a high
rate of speed.

noon on Chief Gallagher of the police de-
partment and Chief Redell of the fire de-
partment to appear before a meeting of the
Board of Fire and Police Commissioners at

o'clock. Chief Redell reported, stating that
he recognized the board as the legal body
under the decision Of the supreme court, and
declaring his willingness to be governed by
it's orders. Chief Gallagher did not respond
directly, but told the sergeant-at-arms that
he had nothing to communicate to the mem

Chief Gallagher has not been announced.
City Attorney Cornell expresses himself In
favor of giving Gallagher time in which to
make up his mind as to what course he in
tends to pursue.
The Herdman board sought to hold a
meeting last night, but met with two serious
obstacles and had to give it up. One OBJ
stacle was the crash and din occasioned by
the band in attendance on the reception
given to the delegates to the educational
convention. The chief obstacle, however,
was the want of light in their rooms.
Grouped about the table when the lights
went out was the entire personnel of the
board and G.. M. Hitchcock, Captain Sig
wart and Chief Gallagher, the latter in full
uniform and with a diamond studded star
on his breast. In the ante-room Officers
Vanous and Donovan were stationed as
guards to prevent the entrance of any one
hostile to the board. These two officers
have been detailed to duty in the rooms Of
the fire and police board. They were given
