MADRID, Aug 2S.-Senor Sagasta, the
premier, is quoted as having, in the course
of an interview, made some important state
ments, declaring that it was the govern
ments intention to repress the discussion
of war topics in the Cortes. He said that
as soon as the Cortes met the government
would submit a bill authorizing peace ne
gotiations and next measure relating to
the suspension of the constitutional guaran-
tees. Although Senior Sagasta did not state
the nature of this measure it is supposed
that it will provide for the continuation OF
the suspension.
1.-The government said the premier, will
not discuss in any form the questions OF
peace and war. Indeed, the deputies would
be entirely lacking in the material neces-
sary for a discussion. The debate could not
be based on concrete, positive facts, found
ed on indisputable documents, since the
necessary information has not yet arrived.
/ believe that no discussion of the surrender
of Santiago and Manila will occur, nor OF
the destruction of the Spanish fleet unless
trustworthy data and exact proofs are to
hand. Moreover, no discussion is perlnis-
sbe of matters at present under considera-
ton of the supreme councils of war and
marine Mistakes or bunders may have
Deen committed, out lnuS lar We nave HOl
sufficient material to judge.
Another reason why questions of peace
and war should not be discussed is that
diplomatic negotiations are now being car
red on, and a debate on these subjects
might be provocative of undesirable COM
plications 1t must not be said that peace
is signed and. discussion is now allowable.
Peace is not signed. Spain is still at war
with the United States. The two nations
have merely concluded a suspension of hos
tilities in order to negotiate peace. These
neotiations may be brought to a successful
issue, but it might happen that hostilities
will be recommended.
''That is why think the Cortes will only
be able to discuss strictly necessary ques-
tions-that is, to make itself acquainted
with the situation of the interests now at
stake which are so important for the Ma
tion but not to engage in debate which
would assume such proportions as to In
fringe on the discretion which the gravity
of the circumstances requires of the Cortes
Should they ask to have presented the docu-
ments concerning the surrender of Santiago
and Manila and the destruction of the fleet,
now in the governments possession, the
government would not accede to the re-
quest. These papers are in the hands of the
supreme councils, which alone. before the
proclamation of peace can conduct inquiries
and establish responsibilities. The inquiries
may result in acquittals or severe sentences,
even the capital penalty

CLINTON, Ind, Aug. 2s.-The remains of
Ex-Governor Matthews will arrive in Clin-
ton at 1:43 o'clock tomorrow afternoon and
will be taken direct to his home, at Hazel
Bluff farm which he left so hale and hearty
last Thursday 1t is understood that the
funeral will be held in the beautiful grove
adjoining Hazel Bluff mansion, there being
no church or hall large enough to accommo-
date the large crowd which will be in at
tendance The exact time of the funeral
has not yet been learned here, but it is
said It will be Wednesday. The Rev. E. w.
6ouders of the Presbyterian Church of this
city, 1t is thought, will be assisted by the
Rev. Joseph Z. Milburn, of Indianapolis
The funeral will, no doubt, be the largest
ever held in western Indiana, and the peo-
pie of Clinton are preparing to entertain
the hundreds who come from distance to
pay tribute to the distinguished dead
The mayor will issue a proclamation to-
morrow urging that, out OF respect for the
Ex-Governor and lovable neighbor, business
OF all kinds be suspended during the time of
the funeral. The burial will be at the Clin-
ton Cemetery, where the ex-Governor's son
was buried three years ago. There is a
general expression of sorrow from the citi-
gems of Clinton. and political differences are
forgotten. All unite in extending sympathy
to the bereaved family.

PARIS, Aug. 29.-The Figaro believes that
the conference will assemble, because the
Gar would not have risked a refusal. 1t
believes. however. that the aspiration is
chimerical.
The Garlois thinks the proposal a natural
one from Russia, because the immense ar
mament imposed on her is the principal
obstacle to her deveiopment. The Gaulois
says: France would not gain what Rus
sia and the other powers would by Gisarma-
ment. Universal peace has been often pro-
posed but never realized"
LIE Journal thinks the conference, instead
Of realizing the Cars hopes, will rather
accentuate national antagonism if it does
not lead to demands totally inirnical to the
worlds peace.
La Radical wishes all success to the move
ment, but says: "The readjustmcnt of a
certain patriotic question in which France
cannot and never will cease to interest her
self is, however an essential preliminary
to general peace"

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Aug. 2S. - Former
Governor Claude Matthews died at $50
o'clock this morning at the residence Ct
Isaac Meharry Shawnee Mound, to which
place he had been tenderly carried after be-
ing stricken with paralysis last Thursday
afternoon. About the deatabed at the time
were Mrs. Matthews, Mr.. and Mrs. Cartez
Ewing, son-in-laW and daughte-, Miss Helen
Matthews, daughter. Miss Callie McMeech-
EN-, a niece Walter Matthews, cousin
from this city. and Drs. Stone and Allhans,
who have been giving constant attention as
physicians The signal of death became
pronounced twelve hours before the passing
away and for some time prior to his death
IL was apparent that the pasient was suffer-
ing intensely. About twelve hours before
death there was a perceptlble rally, after
which the patient sank slowly into his last
sleep. The last hour was marked by peace
ful repose. The passing away was almost
imperceptible. When DR.. Stone announced
that life was extinct the unhappy family
gave way to the pent-uo grief of days
Others in the house at once busted them
selves in comforting the living, leading
them from the bedside and subsequently
arranging the funeral details.
The body was embalmed by an under
taker from this city. Late to-nigh. it was
coffined in a Spanish cedar state casket,
full copper lined with black cloth covering,
ebony handles and bearing O plate in

Emperor Nicholas, says: s1t would be idle
to attempt to ignore the many and grave
difficulties standing in the way Of the at
tainment of the Cars wishes; but it can
not be possible TO doubt the sincerity of the
magnanimous proposal
The Standard says, speaking editorially
of the Cars proposal: ''In England at
least respect and sympathy will be felt for
the proposal. 1t is conception well worthy
of the young sovereign. 1t is painfully OBJ
vious that there are enormous difficulties
to be overcome which it is possible the
the Gar in his ardor and humane enthu-
siasm has rot maturely considered. 1t is
vision which has occurred to many minds;
but has always had to be dismissed as a
mere dream. The nations are not likely to
cast away the sword unless they have
better warrant than paper protocols and
conventions Moreover, the moment does
not seem altogether propitlous. New armed
nations are arising in Asia and America,
whom it might not be easy to convince of
the safety and desirability of abandoning
the enterprise on which they have embarked
with so much energy"
Enumerating the many obstacles to the
attainment of the object sought, the Stand
ard suggests that the Car has the matter
largely in his own hands. adding: IF Rus
sia would abandon her menacing and as-
gressve policy in China and elsewhere the
era Of universal peace would be perceptibly
nearer
The Times correspondent in st. Peters
burg says: Proposal for a conference.
which was made hy she Gar Wednesday
through the medium ef the foreign ambas-
sadors at st. Petersburg, had been kept
profoundly secret until to day, at the ex-
press wish of Count 4Iuravieff. the foreign
minister, so that it rHlght be first promul-
gated on the day of THE unveiling of the
monument in the Kremlin to Alexander II.
There is reason to believe that it formed
the object of communications between the
courts of st. Petersburg and Berlin some
time previously, and in all probability the
support of Germany, at least was secured
in advance. Russia, with her chronic
famines and her vast enterprises in the far
East to provide for out of budget which
is being drawn upon more and more every
year for materials of war in order to keep
pace with the other powers, must naturally
feel the want of International cooperation
in her present policy of peace and of eco
nomical development"

BERLIN. Aug. 2s.--The Cars note was
posted in the hotels and cafes this after
rscn and is generally discussed rather Gym
ically. A high official Of the War Office
observed that it would be "a good topic for
a dull season." If the conference met there
was no doubt that France would demand
the return of Alsace-Loraine. All politi-
clans are inclined to sneer at such a pro-
posal emanating from Russia. The general
belief is however, that all the powers are
willing to attend the conference in the be-
lief that it will prove resultless, looking to
the impossibility of agreement.

The body will be removed tomorrow
morning to the Matthews home, leaving the
Meharry residence in time to take the
Glover Leaf train at Wingate at $50 o'clock
a. m, and connecting with the Chicago &
Eastern Illinois at the junction of the two
roads, the family and friends accompany

The funeral will take place Wednesday
afternoon. probably from the residence. ard
services will be conducted by Rev. T. W.
Souders, of Clinton, and, if possible, by the
Rev. Joseph A. Milburn, of Indianapolis. as
sisted by Rev. Henry l.. Dickerson, a re-
tired Presbyterian minister who was the
former pastor Of the Governors family and
who now resides in Indianapolis.
There will be no attempt to make it a
state affair. A request was received to- day
for the family to remove the body to In
danapolis, there to lie in state in the Capt.
tol. but the family wish is to avoid all os-
tentation and the request was kindly de-
clined the family acknowledging at the
same time the great appreciation enter
tanned for the expressions of high regard
for the Ex-Governor, which accompanied
the petition. Mrs. Matthews has been almost
overcome by the vigil and grief over her
loss. She has received to-day many mes
sages from notable acquaintance, who ex-
tend sympathy. From all this part of the
State there have been calls at the Meharry
home to-day. hundreds calling to express
their sorrow and sympathy. A number of
prominent men who have been political as
sociates of deceased drove from here during
the day to pay a last tribute. and from all
surrounding cities and towns went many
such on similar missions.

The death of Governor Matthews yester-
day morning became quite generally known
around town, so great was his popularity.
and on every hand were expressions of keen
regret and many tender tributes to a man
who seemed to have won the love of the
entire people. Though a great many men
differed with the Ex-Governor in political
views. yet the difference in political views
was entirely submerged in the admiration
for the man himself and his conscientious
performance of duty. One man used an
expression. in speaking of the dead, which
echoed the thoughts of many people. This
man said: With all his affabIlity, Claude
