AS VIEWED AT MADRID.

An Armistice Likely to Soon Be Agreed
MADRID, July ,9.-Referring to the
prospects of peace, Correspondence,
semi-offcial newspaper, says today:
"While the government has asked
for peace. without stipulation prelim-
mary to the suspension of hostilities,
it is supposed an armistice will be de.
clared as soon as the basis is agreed
upon, and pending definite settle
ment. None of these bases have yet
been submitted, but among the condi-
tions mentioned is one relative to an
international conference in London to
arrange the future of the Philippines.
We do not believe the Americans will
propose such a conference, because
they have no interest in doing so, and
could not derive any benefit therefrom.
Neither is the Spanish government
favorable tn such a conference, con-
sideriDg that the negotiations which
it has opened dir ctlv with the United
States are better calculated to secure
good understanding between the two
countries"

men and firemen formally known as
the Pennoyer push, have organized
society of ks. AS tO'what their aims
or objects are is a question that the
general public ''knoweth not" They
hold weekly meetings, and SO far no
one outside of the push can be found
who has ever had the pleasure of en-
tering into the secret cham Der. But
il has been surimsed at their last
nights meeting the chief subject
of discussion was what Napoleon Davis
did with the sack. II need not be
stated that MIR. Davis is not member
of the organization. The members
still claim that there was S42,0 900 in
the sack that was in the personal
keeping of Mr.. Davis, and that they
can only fnd where seven. thousand
was used, leaving balance of S35, 900
nnaccounted for, which sum has un-
dOubtedly been donated to some
chOritable organization ere this.
