the Administration.

Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, July 2S-The terms which
the United States government will find ac-
ceptable as basis of peace are being re-
duced to form by Secretary Day. the Pres-
outlines. These terms were the formal SUBJ
ject of interest and discussion to-day in
official circles. If the Presidents purpose
was to secure a free expression of public
opinion on this subject he has been graft
fed with the response made through the
newspapers and in the exhibition of interest
by government officials in the complex prob
lem now presented. Although it was stated
yesterday that no announcement of the po-
sition assumed by the United States in this
matter would be forthcoming before it had
been formally discussed in the Cabinet to-
morrow. there is the best reason to be-
1eve that after the full conferences the
President has had individually with the
members of his Cabinet he has already
made up his own mind and that Secretary
Day has even now practically reduced to
Iorm the reply that the United States gov
ernment will make to the Spanish govern
nent's overture through Ambassador Cam
bon.
On the main points OF the terms of peace
the administrators position was so well
defined and stated by the Associated Press

This Country Has Not Acted in Bad
Faifh-The LAW as to Armistices.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-It can be stated
on the authority of the State Department
and the foreign embassies here that there
were no overtures in behalf of Spain for
peace or cessation of hostlities until the
French ambassador last Tuesday afternoon
presented his note to the President. This
statement is made with full knowledge of
European denials and must be accepted as
that of the government of the United States.
Therefore all of the talk about bad faith
shown by our government in pressing the

days is absolutely without foundation. and

subject it to criticism on this score. In

BABY's SMOOTH, FAIR SKIN

A Grateful Mother Writes this Letter
Tells all about Her Troubles when
Baby Broke out with Serofula Sores.
cat the age OF two months, my baby
began to have sores break out on his right
cheek. We used all the external ap-
plications that we could think or hear OF,
to no avail. The sores spread all over one
side OF his face. We consulted a physi-
clan and tried his medicine, and in week
the sore was gone. But to my surprise in
two weeks more another scrofulous look
ing sore appeared on baby's arm. 1t
grew worse and worse, and when he was
three months old, began giving him
Hoods Sarsaparilla. ! also took Hoods
Sarsaparilla, and before the first bottle
was finished, the sores were well and have
never returned. He is now four years old,
but he has never had any sign OF those
scrofulous sores since he was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla, for which feel very
grateful. My boy owes his good health
and smooth, fair skin to this great med
icine." MRS. s. 8. WRoTEN, Farming
