I through M. Cambon, French ambassa-
dor at Washington, for peace with the
United States.
AMERICAN EXPECTATION.
WASHINGTON, July 27-Secretary of
State Day is in conference with the
President, relative to the answer to be
given Spain's peace message. Asked
when the reply to Spain would be made,
he said it would depend on circum-
stances, but it would be delivered with.
in day or two. Military operations
are to 90 steadily forward so far as the
United States is concerned until neg0-
tiations are advanced much further than
they are at present. They are subject
to interruption, and in a moment, by
armistice, but it must be said this is
scarcely expected Immediately. 1t is
realized that when the Spanish govern
ment learns the extent of the demands
of the United States, the first effect will
be reflex movement, which, In turn
will result in continuation Of active
hostilities for time. This time, it ia
expected, however. will be only perhaps
so long as is necessary for Genl. Miles
to completely invest San Juan. That
stroke, it is thought, will bring the
Spanish Government to realizing
sense of the hopelessness of further
resistance.
SPANS EXPECTATION.
MADRID, July 27-Big rise in prices
ON the bourse here today is looked upon
as denoting great confidence that peace
will be concluded.
A BAD OUTLINE.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-As far as can
be gathered, our government has al
ready prepared itself to announce the
outlines of the conditions it will seek to
impose in the consummati0n of peace.
Generally stated, two propositions seem
included-in all the demands, namely:
First, absolute independence of Cuba,
with provision that the island shall be
absolyed from any responsibility for
debt heretofore charged against il by
| Spain; second, absolute cession of
Puerto Rico to the United States like
wise unincumbered by liability for
bonded Indebtedness. Another point
it is believed, will insist. is
the cession of coaling stations
in the Ladrones and Carolines. These
territorial concessions, 1t is expected,
will be regarded as sufficient compen-
sation for the expenditures made by
this country, without specific demand
fer money indemnity. The consid-
GRAFTON which promises to give more
trouble than any other, is the Philippine
question. A coaling station is wanted
there, but beyond that it may be that
we will not care to go. An entirely
different attitude might have been as
sumed by our Government, but for the
course adopted by the Insurgents un-
der Aguinaldo. which it is asserted
leaves the United States under no
moral obligations to care for his peo-
| pie.

THoU SHALT NOT LIE.
MADRID, July 27-The government
denies it has been occupied with the
question of peace. Premier Sagasta
contradicts the statement that official
negotiations are in progress; but the
foreign Office announces that negotia-
tions, due to private initiative. are pro-
ceeding.
TIE PRESIDENTS POSITION.
NEW YORK, July 27.--A special to
the Tribune from Washington, says !:
To Nj. Cambon's representations, yes
terday, President Mckinley is under
stood to have replied that the United
States would be glad to enter upon
peace negotiations, on the understand
ing that Spain shall abandon sover-
eighty over Cuba and Puerto Rico, and
acknowledge this country's right to
shape the future destiny of the Philip
pine group. On the o terms peace
could promptly be restored. If Sagasta's
desire to end the war is sincere, his re-
turn propositions are counted on by
the authorities here to make clear the
fact; ii, on the other hand, he submits
conditions of peace which the United
States will be compelled to dis.
miss as trivial and unwarranted, the
failure of the Madrid government to
appreciate the straits to which 1t has
already been driven. will be taken as a
warning that to secure peace on a
rational basis, the war must be prose-
cuted by this country to the bitter and
relentless end.
FRANCE CONFIRMS IT.
PARIS, July 81 The following official
note was issued here today: At the re-
quest of the Spanish government the
French Ambassador at Washington
has been authorized by the French
Government to present note from the
cabinet at Madrid the President OF
the United States. 1t is IN the name
of Spain that d. Cambon, who is
charged to watch to the interests OF the
United States, made this communica-
tion to President Mckinley, yesterday
an the presence OF Secretary Day.
A LAME EXCUSE.
LONDON, July 27.-The equivocal de-
niais from Madrid on the subject Of
peace negotiations were seemingly giveI
out prior TO spain's formal application
for peace. Many similar communica
tions, intended for home consumption
may be expected during the negotia
tions; but the only purpose is to ALA,
Castilian susceptibilities, and they vii
not affect the real point at issue. TIL
liyeliest satisfaction is expressed in a.
quarters throughout Europe at the fac
that Spain at last has done the righ
thing. for the first time during the war
Peaeeis looked upon as being within
measurable distance.

 Some weeks since this paper had an account of 8 submarine mine invented 1 by a l6eal citizen whow as desig- ] rated as Mir. Fizzboom. The articIe iii question was numerous in char acter, but was not intended as re- fection upon MT. Fizzboom or his in vention.

As to the construction of this great railway, all authorities agree that it is to be a perfectly modern railway, equipped not only with sleeping and dining cars, but it is even to carry church-car on it's through trains. It is promised that it's permanent way will be ballaSted and heavily rail ed, and that its stations and equip | ment generally will be of the best and ] latest patterns. I am aware that in the valuable and important articles in Harper's Weekly describing a journey across Siberia the writer said the work on the road was finished as if for all time," but he was speaking of the small bit of the Pacific end from Via l divostok to Khabarovka, and he did not afterward comment on the work upon the main part west of Krasno- yarsk, except to state the fact that the rails were being laid on the snow, and ] the trains were crossing the rivers on the ice.
 | I am equally well aware that Lieu tenant Colonel Waters, British mili- tary attache at St. Petersburg, after a winters journey across Siberia, said to a Reuter- reporter that ''the work done has been remarkably good, and in point of quality the line, when completed, will be equal to the Ca nadian Pacific" Against this opin- | ion I have the word of another trav- eler, an ardent prO-Russian, that the construction is being pushed too rap idly, and is of so fiimsy a character that in his journey his car ran off the track three times. I have been told by an English sportsman and an English consul that where such a course is possible the ties are being merely laid down on the grass, and | from Americans in St. Petersburg l learned that, in pursuance of its new plan of relying solely on Russian re- sources, the rails used are made at home, and are very light and very short. The washing away of miles CT the road by freshets last spring seems to confirm my information. Never theless, having ridden some thousands of miles in Russia upon five great ra1l- ways. and having found them gener- ally up to the German standard, when
 is the highest in Europe, I conclude
 that though there is undue haste Ill
 completing the Siberian railway, the sections first finished are already very
 substantial, and in the end this Will
 be the character of the entire system.
 The Russians build railways well They
 do nothing better, and nothing else as well except in the lines of military
 and naval progress.-From "Awak-
 ened Russia" by Julian Ralph, In Harper,s Magazine for May.

CANINE CASTAWAYS,

A strange story is told by Captain Bennett of the British steamer Sweet Alice, which reached Philadelphia from London last week. Captain Ben nett says that when in midocean on the morning of March 29 an object resembling boat was sighted about two points off the starboard bow. The steamer bore down on it, and the captain was astonished to find that it was an ordinary dog house lashed to piece of ice. A boat was launch ed to investigate, and 1t was then found that the house contained an Irish terrier and a litter of six pups that were apparently not more than forty-eight hours old. In a corner of the house-which was half filled with fresh hay-there was found a wooden vessel containing a large quantity of canned meats, while in an- other corner was vessel of fresh wa ter. The piece of ice to which the house was lashed was a perfect cube, measuring about three feet each way. and on end of the sides was carved in large Elizabethan letters, which were still discernible, the Latin phrase, Esto Perpetua." On top of the house f1oated a tiny American flag, and nail ed to the roof was a card six inches by three, upon which was written in a woman's hand:
 The f1ttest place for man to die
 Is where he dies for man.
 There was nothing whatever to in dicate how the dog got there, nor was there anything to show, how long she had been adrift- Captain Bennett thinks, however, that the animal must have been at least three weeks on her iceboat. The dog and her pups are still alive and great pets of the Sweet Alice ships company.
