Al the Harvey Machine Shops.

The H. II. Harvey machine shop at
Prttingill's Corner. is growing busicf
and buster. as the season advances, aud
the genial superintendent. Frank IIar-
Wy. says that the outlook for ii larE2
summers work is good.
They are now at work on the goods
that they make their specially, granite
quarry supplies. and IS men are at
present employed, more being added
as the orders increase.
II was rumored about the streets,
Saturday, that they had secured a gov
eminent contract for the manufacture
of some derricks. but it proved to be
one Of the war scare stories. The
foundation upon which the rumor was
started is tie fact that about two
wceks ago two 20 ton derricks Wcro
shipped from the factory to the Water
town arsenal, but this is nothing un-
usual, as they have often before manu-
featured derricks for the United
States government.

Is Finally Made
For Spain.
FRENCH AMBASSADOR ACTS
Comes Direct From Senior Sa.
gasta-President Is Ready
and Willing to Consider
the Matter.

A Washington special says: The
Spanish government, acting through
the medium OF the French ambassador.
sued for peace formally and directly
to President Mckinley through NJ.
Cambon, the French ambassador.
The following official statement was
given out the white house:
1.-THE French Ambassador on behalf
Of the government OF Spain and by
direction Of the Spanish minister OF
foreign affairs, presented to the presi'
dent this afternoon at the white house
message from the Spanish govern.
ment looking to the termination Of the
war and the settlement Of terms Of
peace"
Though nothing else official was
given out concerning this conference
between the French ambassador and
the president, several other important
facts are known. Two questions were
asked the president First, was this
government willing 10 entertain the
suggestion Of peace; and second, II
so, would the president indicate upon
what terms peace would be considered.
To both Of these questions the presi-
dent replied in the affirmative--this
government would entertain o peace
proposition and he would within O few
days indicate upon what terms.
There was nothing more to the mes
sage to the pretident than is covered
by those two questions. There were
no suggestion OF terms by Spain.
Nothing of that kind was expected.
Spain has taken the logical natural
means OF securing the end she desires.
She has cried enough" and asks her
conqueror upon what terms she will
quit. This step on the part Of the
enemy means the beginning OF the
end. The suggestion Of peace comes
