Washington, July 21.--Gen. Stewart

Spain, came over from New York,
Tuesday night. with his wife and
daughter. This morning he called upon
Secretary Day at the state department,
and later they went to the White
House and remained with President
Mckinley for about an hour. When
the two men left for luncheon they de-
clned to speak of the subject under
consideration, but their call and pro-
tracted stay gave rise to renewed re-
ports regarding the possibility Of peace
proposals.
Gen. Woodford said his presence in
the city was due to social matters en-
tircly, and that he called at the White
House merely to pay his respects to
President Mckinley.
Secretary Day renewed his assertions
made earlier in the day, that no init
had come from Spain Of her
purpose to seek peace. All that he
knew about the matter was what he
had seen in the newspaper reports.

SOME CONCEPTION.
Navy Department Will RcdoubIc Efforts TO
Protect Warshps from Fire.

Washington, July 2l.-The navy de-
partmCnt has obtained very striking
conception of the tremendous power of
a shell bursting within the enclosure o.
a battloship from a report just received
at the navy department from Cap.
Taylor of the Indiana.
Aside from the actual bursting cner-
gy of the shell described by Capt. Tay-
lor. It is perceived that the great dan
ger was experienced from fire owing to
the fact that the Indiana is not, like
some of the battleships of later con
struction. fitted with fre-proof wood
throughout.
1t is safe to assume that this report,
taken in connection with the destruc-
ton of the Spanish vessels in a large
part by FIRE of Santiago. will lead the
navy department to redoublc instead Of
relax its Efforts to protect the Amcri-
can WaIshipa FROM fire ~ all known
scientific means.
