USE OF LONDON FOG5-Untll now people hava
been at loss to discover the use o. those terrible
fogs which so frequently enveop the British me-
tropolis as with pail. From the annual reports
just furnished by the London gas companies Il
would appear that each foggy day In London rep
resents TO the gas companies extra receipts 70 the
extent OF 100000. In View OF this revelation
people are asking themselves In England
whether the Parliamentary opposition TO legislation
IN favor Of compelling all Industrial concerns in
the metropolis to devices for consuming their
own smoke does not originate with the gas com.
panies. since London fogs are largely composed Of
the smoke from coal.

An Armistice. for What ?

The unofficial intimation from
Washington that Spain has concluded
at the last moment to grant an ar
mistice to the Cubans in the final en-
deavor to avert war with the United
States is probably unwarranted by
the facts Advices from Madrid all
indicate that the Spanish Government
is ready to fight rather than make
any further concessions in the inter
est Of peace, and a retreat from her
present attitude would expose Spain
to the danger of revolution at home.
That ehe has decided upon an elev-
enth hour change of front is altogetb-
er unlikely
But suppose she has agreed to an
armistice-what does it amount to
1t takes two parties TO make such an
arrangement. The Cubane haven't
asked for an armistice. They don't
want one, and have repeatedly an
nounced that they would never con-
sent to it How is Spain going to
effect suspension of hostilities with
out the Co operation of the insur
gents 1t is too late for any such
proceeding unless it is based upon
the primary understanding chat Spain
shall absolutely withdraw from Cuba
On that condition it might be posi-
bic even at this final hour to bring
about peaceable solution of the i'm
pending crisis, but no other arrange
rnent has the slightest chance of &C
ceptance.
The attitude of the United States
canrot be changed by any new
temporizing at Madrid. Tue purpose
of this government is irrevocably
fixed There is to be no halt
ing, no delay, no compromise !;
nothing but the complete and perma-
nent withdrawal of Spanish misrule
from Cuba. Whether this shall be
done peaceably or under the compui-
sion of military force, Spain alone
must decide, and her time is short.
If she can arrange terms with the
Cubans whereby she shall retire from
the island. we'll and good But no
further delay will be tolerated. The
hour for action is about to strike, and
when it does the power Of the United
States will interpose to remove for
ever the conditions in Cuba which in
the Presidents own words have be-
come "insufferable." " Peace or war.
the ultimate result as to the island
will be exactly the same. Spain her
self must name the means by which
it shall be accomplished.-N. Y.

This document was the official noti
6ca.ion of the Spanish government to
she Uoited States, OF the granting Of
an armistice and its essential terms.
Minister'S Woodfo:d's dispatches last
nighs had briefly stated the fact that
an armistice had been agreed upon,
bat it was not communicated as com
iog from the Spanish government. To.
days communication cleared up mir
apprehension on the most vital point Of
Spaia's concessions. namely, that the
armistice was without conditions. The
note was received by the state depart-
meat after the 6fst cabinet meeting,

the department out. The blaze was
ouickly extingushed without loss. The
fire originated in small wooden box
which was filled with WOODEN rags used
for cleaning lamps. AS the rags were
saturated with oil and number of
matches we're found at the bottom of
