CAMBON'S CREDENTIALS.
So Sweeping Thai Peace Seems
 NuCa Nearer.

Washington, July 30.-Events of the most momentous character occurred at the conference at the White House this afternoon between the president, Ambassador Cambon of France, and Secretary Day, carrying the peace ne- gotiations far beyond the mere sub mission of terms of pe.-e by the United States and reaching the point of pre- liminary basis of peace between the government of Spain and the govern ment of the United States, needing only the ratification of the Madrid cab inet of what was done today to bring the war to an end.
 This was accomplished on the part Of Spain when Ambassador Cambon presented to the president the ere dentials he received from the Spanish government appointing him envoy ex- traordinary and minister plenipoten- tlary, with cOmplete instructions as to the manner Of acting upon every one Of the peace conditions presented by the United States, including the dis position of Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippine islands, the Ladrone is lands, the indemnity armistice and all ether questions likely to arise. Am bassador Cambon as plenipotentiary for Spain has now transmitted the re- suits to Madrid for approval. which, if given, will end the war. The pro- foundly important results developed today came about most unexpectedly.

I fully explained to him that those officers were contin- ued in power until it was convenient to change them for others.

SOMEBODY INTERFERE.
Neither inc SpaRiards Nor Insur-
 gents Can Gain inc Mastery.

Manila, July 25.-The Spaniards are gradually realizing that Spain has not been victorious, that the expected rs- Inducements are not coming and that the contest is utterly hopeless. The insurgents in overwhelming numbers and Spaniards can only obtain the bare necessities of life. Only a fort- night ago Spanish national pride was rampant, but is now merging into in- dignation at Spain's feebleness, and while they will never surrender with out fight, the Spanish officers will jump at the first honorable oppor- tunity to surrender. They fear na- tional disgrace too much to give up without a fight.
 Fighting in the suburbs is desultory and the Americans are idle. Although the insurgents have redoubled their ef- forts they have been unable to capture the citadel On the other hand, tha Spaniards are net able to re-establisb their suZerainty. Under the circum- stances it is evident that somebody must interfere in the name of human ity. Some insurgent shells have beer thrown into the citadel, but have no. done much damage. Natives are re- ported to be starving by thousands and Europeans are also hard pressed for food.

 Madrid. July 30.-There is still much talk about Carlist intrigues and preparations, but the government, though vigilant and ready to act enef- getically if necessary, seems to think that at present there is no serious dan- ger of untoward developments.
 The danger of republican move ments is still less. Senor Emilio Cas- telar has just rendered a service to the cause of order by publishing long letter. in which he impresses upon all good Spaniards the necessity of sink ing party differences and remaining firmly united at the present critical moment
 The efforts Of the government to- ward peace are meeting with almost insuperable difficulties Ministerialists say that the chief obstacle is President McKinley's 'impassionable character,' which is more influenced. they affect to believe, by his personal friends and the jingces in congress than by d;pln- matic counsels.

SPANISH TROOPS MUTINY.
Nearly 10000 Soldiers Ciamor for Back
Pay-They Refuse to Return to Spain
and Promise TO Cause Trouble.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-An interest
ing lot of news has reached the war
department from Havana. Arrange
ments have been made by the Spanish
authorities to send back to Spain the
Spanish troops, numbering $500 men,
upon the arrival of the American gar
rison. 1t was expected that they would
sail next Tuesday or Wednesday, but an
unexpected obstacle has arisen among
the men themselves. They are on
the verge of mutiny, openly declaring
they will not return to Spain until
they receive their pay, now far in ar
gears. for service in Cuba. The mutlny
extends not alone to the enlisted men,
but to their officers, and is directed
against the executive officials of the
Madrid government on the island.
Some of the men have not been paid
for nearly year, and to all OF them
several months pay is due.
