A AMBASSADOR CambOn Leaves.

Mr.. Cambon, the French ambassador
left here yesterday afternoon for New
York. He probably will go to Newport and
Bar Harbor before he returns. His call on
the President yesterday naturally excited
much comment. and led to reports that
Spain had asked for peace through French
channels. The subject discussed by the
ambassador will be made known IN the
course of few days, in connection with an
interesting occasion, the details of which
cannot now be made public but which.
when disclosed, will show that The con-
