LONDON, July 29.-The Madrid cores
pondent of the Daily Mail, remarking the
feeling of satisfaction and relief the peace
overtures have produced says:
There is little probability of popular
discomfort and pcne at all if Spain is al
lowed to retain the Philippines and is not
compelled to pay indemnity. The attitude
of the people makes the chances of Don
Carlos small. Moreover the Carlists are
said to disagree about the advisability of
rising, the Marquis de Cerralbo and other
leaders opposing the step. Nevertheless, it
is feared that Den Carlos will insist upon
it."
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
Telegraph. says:
However unpalatable the terms of peace
may be, they will not provoke the slightest
disturbance in Slain, where listless indif
ference is predominant"

Spain Hesit0te1.

LONDON, July ga special dispatch
from Madrid says: THE government does
not conceal that it hesitated for some days
to go beyond an unofficial exploration at
Washington, because the diplomatic agents
employed to make the soundings gave
conflicting accounts of President McKin-
ley's disposition. One represented him as
eager to terminate the war on moderate
conditions; the other, that the most oner-
Gus conditions would be imposed, so much
so that the Madrid government thought it
useless to sue officially
when, however. it was seen that the
American war preparations continued,
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of for,
eign affairs. was instructed to send the
note. The cabinet met Wednesday even
ing to deliberate as to the best means and
channel of negotiation. Paris and London
were both discussed. No decision was ar
rived at. but a majority favored sending
Senior Moret. former minister of the col
onies, on a special mission to London to
negotiate the treaty of peace with Am
bassador Hay.
Official feeling favors direct negotia-
tions, without interference from outsiders,
even with regard to the Philippines.
Desires Speedy Settlement.
IneFe Is nttle DOUBT that II President
Mckinley's reply proves an acceptable
basis, the negotiations will not be pro-
tracted, since Spain, for many reasons, is
desirous of a speedy settlement, and not
less SO because at the present moment
public opinion is calm.
After today's cabinet council Senior Sa-
gasta, the premier, said he had grounds for
hoping that an understanding might be ar
rived at, but he could say nothing definite
Duke Almodovar de Rio said the European
cabinets had been informed of the step
Spain had taken, but not as to the text of
the note sent to President Mckinley The
cabinet council Will not meet again until
Friday evening, by which time President
Mckinley's reply is expected.
The ministerial Ell Correo says the gov
ernment communicated to the queen regent
in council a dispatch intimating that Presi-
dent Mckinley, in principle, assented to the
opening of negotiations"
Ell impartial says that the Carlist agita-
ton, which at first appeared to be trampled
out, has recommended in the province of
Cuenca and in parts of Navarro. A Carlist
bricklayer has been arrested for trying to
enlist adherents. He fought on the Carlist
side in the last civil war. Probably he will
be court-martialed.

CAMP ALGER. Va, July 20, 1895
A parade and review of the entire I'd
Army Corps has been ordered to take place
the afternoon of Saturday, August 6. The
ceremony is intended as compliment to
the Secretary of War, who will be the re-
viewing officer. 1t is understood that Gen.
Graham particularly desires a second par
ade for his command, in order that it may
be made manifest that the weeks spent in
drill and the routine of camp duty had not
been wasted. Unless all signs fail, there
will be the greatest possible contrast be-
tween the ceremony of August and the
presidential review of June 80. Since the
latter event all the regiments in camp have
not only been thoroughly equipped, but
have become well drilled and well disci-
plined. The difference between the two
parades will, accordingly, be almost the
same as that between a procession of raw
recruits without uniforms and the review
of regulars

the history of the Fair Association, the

Zelno, the famous high diver and
balloonist, will make one of his high
dives on Thursday afternoon at the

drops 100 feet head first into a canvass
tank containing but 36 inches of water

a lifetime to see this wonderful high

as it is the greatest ever attempted.

The congested condition Of our pub.
lie schools calls loudly for expansion Of
the school quarters.
Nearly everv room is overcrowded
and the condition of affairs is such tina,
there must be something done, to in
sure safety. to say nothing of the com
fort of the pupils.
In the High School, for instance
there are 15s seats, and studying and
reciting in that place are but very
few short Of 200 pupils.
While the congestion in the other
buildings is not so intense as this, still
they are badly overcrowded.
The day of more buildings is at hand
right now; and the people must not
simple think and talk about the condi
tions, but must act !
