sons squadron. the exodus, however
shows no sign of diminishing. A pamph-
let has been distributed among the
workingmen urging them to demand
peace at all cost. owing to the terrible
distress and the lack Of work and food.
A special dispatch from Madrid says:
Everything is done to keep the where
abouts Of Admiral Camara's squadron
a secret. but there is no doubt he is at
Carthagena, which is the safest and
strongest port Of Spain in the Mediter-
ranean The inhabitants, however.
have strong republican tendency. All
the Spa nish vessels are hurrylug away

that most of the guns on the forts are
useless in consequence of the corrup-
ton of the government departments. 1t

exists at many other ports. The south

protected. but the north side is prac-
tically undefended. as are several Of the
northern ports of Spain.

prisoners has made a profound impress
sion in Spain and is materially assist
ing the prospect of peace"

When an incident like the following
occurs, right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers.
When so many strange occurrences
90 the rounds Of the press; are pub
lished as facts; when the intelligent
readers knows they cannot be true,
there is no reason that people become
skeptical. On one subject skepticism
is rapidly disappearing. This is due to
the actual personal experience of our
citizens and their public utterances
regarding them. The doubter must
doubt no more in the face of such ev-
idence as this. The public statement
of a reputable citizen living right
here at home, one whom YOU can see
every day, leaves no ground for the
skeptic to stand on.

accomplished.
Spanish Loss 100. Ours Not Man.
No casualties occurred on board any
Of our vessels. Great care was taken
in directing the fire that as little dam
age as possible should be done to the
city itself. and so far as could be OBJ
servd little if any was done. All of our
vessels were handled with sound dis
creticn and excellent judgment by the
several command ng officers. which was
to have been expected from the men
commanding them. the Spanish lSss
is believed to have been in the neigh

destroyed or driven ashore were the

Sampson to examine the wreck of the

can probably be raised and added to ths

SOME TINE NEXT NINTER.
Is Al Early as Col. Foster Looks for Peace
Washington Views.

Washington. July 22.-No progress has
been made in the direction Of peace.
John W. Foster, ex-secretary Of state
and an expert in Spanish diplomacy
and politics, is of opinion that the out
look for peace is still pretty remote.
Il look for peace some time next win
ter" he said. The men who are now
at the head ef the government of Spain
are not disposed to sue for peace or
take the initiative in any way under
existing conditions. The cabinet situa-
ton is such that some decided changes
must take place in local affairs before
the first real steps will be taken toward
the conclusion of hostilities"
Without any very tangible reason
there has been q notable diminution of
the optimistic expressions among Of
fieials to the effect that an early peace
might be looked for. Possibly this
temporary depression is explainable by
the fact that private advices, entirely
unofficial in character, from sources
of information in Europe, indicate that
the situation in ST. an is such that there
is no present hope of Overtures from
EHdiu II Is apparent 10 the
that the peace party in Spain still feels
itself too weak to insist upon demand
ing peace. 1t is probably working in a
quiet way to educate the Spanish people
up To the point where they can con-
template with resignation the acceptance
of the minimum peace conditions that
might be expected to form the basis of
the United States demands
The warning notes from Euorpe, con-
veyed through reputable newspapers,
that the United States is not to be left
free to conduct a campaign in Europe
are interpreted in some quarters as
really the only hopeful signs visible
looking toward the beginning Of peace
negotiations. Bearing in mind the we'll
recognized reluctance of the European
nations to allow any interference with
the balance Of power in Europe it Is
assumed that the neutral nations may
now be spurred on by knowledge of the
approach Of Watson's eastern squadron
to make the strongest representations
to Spain in the direction of peace.

Of this city, who left Paris yesterday
for Madrid to interview the queen re-
gent of Spain and Premier Sagasta in
an endeavor to bring about peace be-
tween the United States and Spain, has
been told to come home Immediately by
her father Charles Schley, who is a
cousin Of Commodore Schley In a letter
written to his daughter Mr.. Schley told
her that her plan was not only imprac-
ticable, but SO absurd as to be farcial.
Il wrote her." continued Mr.. Schley.
that her action would enbarrass the
commodore. bring about no coed re-
suits. and give her a notoriety whieh
would not only be unpleasant to her
but to us all
Il am very sorry that her unwar-
ranted action has created SO much pub
licity for her. and no good can come
from 1t. My daughter is of a
warm, sympathetic nature. and while
abroad she got in with one of the peace
societies. Of which there are several.
She has always been enthusiastic for
any philanthropic movement. but / do
not indorse her course in regard TO this.
She will come home Immediately"
