ONLY A PERSONAL OPINION
London. July 22.-The statement made
by Senior Gamazo, Spanish minister OF
public instruction, to the effect. that
peace, honorable to the Spanish army, will
shortly be concluded, is regarded in Lon
don more as an indication of personal
opinion of hope than rejecting any gem
eral decision of the cabinet. Nothing
showing any move in the direction of
peace has been received here from any
quarter likely to be well informed on the
subject, The Spanish ambassador, Count
Rascon, who was questioned said: 1--WE
have no news from Madrid and we have
no reason TO believe any such decided step
has been taken as Senior Gamazo's state

London, July 23.-The Madrid special
dispatches this morning to the Times,
Daily News and Standard agree that no
real step has been taken toward peace
and, moreover that the idea that the ca
p'tulation Of Santiago was a preliminary
to peace must be abandoned.
The ministerial organ, El Correo, says:
"'rhe government is satisfied that the
nation desires peace, but If the Washing
ton government raises difficulties Spain
will cease to seek pacific solution"

Willing-The Exchange May
Be Accomplished.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, March 1l.-Attorney General
Nolan to-day decided that there is no
legal impeachment in the way of an ex-
change Of lands already selected by the
state for lands unsolicited. providing the
interior department is willing. This Is
the essence OF an opinion he prepared
for Donald Bradford, one of the mem
bers of the state arid land grant COM
mission, who. as announced in yester-
days Standard, asked the attorney gen
eral whether the state board of land
commissioners could legally quit claim
or return title to the United States to
lands already selected on condition that
other lands Of equal area were selected
in lieu thereof.
The same issue of the Standard con-
tanned a copy of letter received from
the interior department giving 1t as the
opinion Of Commissioner Hermann that
the constitution and the laws of Mon
tana would not permit of such an ex-
change, and consequently the depart
ment must decline any propositions to
tina, end. Regardless of the opinion of
the honorable commissioner, Mr.. Nolan
after a careful study Of the law bearing
up the point concludes that the eX-
change can be legally effected. His de-
cision is Of vital interest TO the residents
of the Bitter Root just at this time, for
1t Will result in course of time in the

some state lands in that section in order
that the arid land commission can
create them into an irrigation district

construct an irrigating canal and thus
reclaim lot of land that if owned by
the state might lie idle for years Al
though substantially deciding against
The proposed exchange. Commissioner
Hermann intimated that If valid
transfer could be made by the board of
land commissioners the United States
would not be averse to making the ex-
change This. in connection with the
attorney generals decision. apparently
removes any obstacles that heretofore
stood in the way of the reclamation of
the land in question in the Bitter Root
valley, more fully described in MIR.

tonomy on the broadcast and most lib

Cuban people the complete direction of

of Spain. Already much has been ae-

confidence that the plan will be carried
into full execution. The naming of
Cuban delegates 10 come To Washing

own affairs.
The minister was then asked IL he

between the United States and Spain
