a new trial but failed TO prosecute the
same, was brought into court this
morning and sentenced. by Chief Jus

prisoner jumped his bail after the fall
ure to prosecute the petition and the
states officers had good deal of trou-
bic in locating him.
He was one Of number Of Italians
who after returning from a job at Wes-
terly, were going along Dean street on
June 10, 1897. when a crowd OF fellows
who seemed to have little to do began
calling them names. While assistant
attorney general Stearns told the court
that the police captain Of the district
where the assault took place told him
the assault was without provocation.
Frank Raia said that an Italian tailor
who saw the trouble told him chat Tul-

ourselves entirely out of range. This

steaming rapidly westward. The In
diana was now signalled 11:26 a. m.)
to return to her blockading position to
look after anything which might be
there. Very shortly the Vizcaya turned
shoreward, smoke began TO issue from
her after part, and by the time that
she was ashore on the reef at Acorra-
deros Q5 miles west of Santiago) she
was ablaze. The Iowa had signalled a
little before that, she had surrendered
and stopped off this place. where she
gave much assistance i'm the rescue OF
the Vizcaya's people.

gunshot. We were rapidly increasing
our speed.

Colon would give us long chase, and
at noon the crew left quarters and went
to dinner.

fire and some Of her shells were oh
served to strike the Colon this made
her capture a foregone conclusion. and
shortly after she turned in toward in

OUTLINE OF
OUR DEMANDS

1t cannot be tolerated for an instant
it is announced that through the in
diligence of the United States by grant
ing an armistice or otherwise in the
early stages of the peace negotiations.
the Spanish government shall covertly
secure a breathing speu to recuperate
and rally for further resistance to the
American arms.
As far as can be gathered, our gov
ernment i'm general way has already
prepared itself to announce the outlines
OF the conditions IL will seek to i'm
pose in the contamination OF peace.
Generally stated. two propositions seem
inclined i'm all lists on demands: First,
the absolute independence of Cuba,
with the provision that the island shall
be absolved from responsibility for any
debt heretofore charged against IL by
Spain.
The last clause IL is expected will
cause some friction, inasmuch as IL Is
certain to arouse to desperate resist
ance certain European holders Of bonds
issued by Spain on the revenues OF
Cuba

BINDING PLEDGE
WILL BE EXACTED

1T can be stated positively that the
President is determined to lose no
ground through Spanish diplomacy.
Armistice, IL granted, will be condition
al upon the most binding pledges that
IL is to be followed by treaty of peace.
Moreover. the preliminary agreement
that provides for an armistlce must
constitute in itself an undertaking on
the part OF Spain to submit to certain
broad conditions imposed by the United
States as the basis of peace.
Military operations are to go steadi-
ly forward so far as the United States
is concerned, until the negotiations
have advanced much further than they
are at present. They are subject TO in
terruption at any moment by an armis-
tice, but 1t must be said that this is
scarcely expected Immediately. 1t Is
realized that when the Spanish gov
ernme1t learns the extent of the de-
mands to be made by the United States
the first effect will be to induce n reflex
movement, which in turn will result in
the continuation of active hostilities for
a time.

NO MONEY TO
DO BUSINESS

Washington, July 27.--Thc War De-
partment today made public tha. fol-
lowing dispatch received from Gen.
Shnfter in rcsponse 10 query by tho
Department as TO ships boirg turned
away from Santiago:
Santiago via Hayti, July rs. LII q. m.
Adjutant General, e. s. A.. Washington
Press reports not true. l only know
of three ships having arrived, one from
Kingston, the others from the United
States. The Bratton has sold its cargo
the other, a ship from New Orleans
has Sold only part of 1T. and tells me
he is going away tonight. think he
will sell before he leaves.
The trouble is they did not expect to
pay any duty and arrived here without
money. The Spanish Customs Vs ap-
piled to Spanish subjects has only been
collected and the twenty cents per tom
as ordered by the Secretary. I digcov-
cred this morning an attempt on the
part of the municipal authorities to col
lect n local tax of forty cents per one
hundred kilos, I'm this instance amount
ing to twenty-five hundred dollars. I
had already settled this matter by or
dering Its collection.
The fact is there is no money here to
do business and merchants are very
t!mid about making purchases, fearing
the effect of tN Red Cicss supplies,wno
really are feeAng the town. The New
Orleans man, for instance. brought
twenty-nine Essd OF cattle Which he
sold at eishty-flve dollars per head the
persons buying kills one day. selling
the meat at seventy per pound. OF
course only few people buy. The frat
week we were here, people were star
wing to death and think few now ar
from the effects of starvation. arr
positive however that the customs have
been honestly administered.

Sir-Q) have the honor TO make the
following report of the Iec. taken by
this ship in the action of yesterday dur
ing and following the sortie of Admiral
Cervera's squadron.
CD The ship had started at $3.50 for
the army landing at Siboney, the COM
mander-in-chief having an appointment
with the general commanding the army.
A few minutes after the crew had been
called to quarters for Sunday inspec-
ton, firng was heard. and ship was
seen leaving the harbor entrance. The
helm was at once put over, the crew
called to general quarters, signal "close
in towards the harbor entrance and at
tack vessels made, orders given TO
spread all fires, and the ship headed
back for the enemy, whose ships were
seen successfully coming out at high
speed. Their flagship, Infanta Maria
Teresa, was first, then another armored
cruiser of the same class (which turned
out to be the Vizcaya), followed by the
Cristobai Colon, an armored cruiser
(Oquendo) and the torpedo boat de-
stroyers Furor and Pluton.
(3) The nearer ships had immediate
ly engaged, and by the time we were OFF
the entrance, one, the flagship. was al
ready afire and was soon ashore; the
Indiana and Gloucester were actively
engaged with the torpedo boats. This
ship fired some four-inch shells at the
one nearer the port, towards which she
was already headed and seemed at
tempting TO return, but she was already
practically out of the fight.

our state department is again about to
give the diplomats of the old world a
lesson in straightforward dealing.
abandoning the devious paths of old
time diplomacy and striking forward
and without double dealing and hair
splitting toward the object In view.
In such negotiations, conducted on the
broad and high plane which has char
acterized the attitude Of the United
States government from the very be-
ginning of the controversy with Spain
which led up to the war, there will be
little chance for the successful exer-
else of what is termed Spanish diplo-
macy. There will not be any disposi-
ton shown to take undue advantage
OF the position OF a defeated and help
less nation. but to Justify and secure
the indulgent treatment that the United
States is now in q temper TO accord the
Spanish negotiations must be honestly
fairly openly and directly conducted.

A PEACE FESTIVAL.
Chicago Planning Ono on a Gigantic
Scale to Celebrate Close OF War.

Chicago, July 27.-The National Bus.
mess League is preparing for a grand
national peace festival to be held ir
this city soon after the close of the
war. The festivities will continue g
week or more.
The president, his cabinet, the diplo.
matte corps, eminent army and nav.
officers. with their commands as far as
possible, governors of states, mayors OF
cities, statesmen and prominent busi.
ness men of the country are expected
to be present and participate.
To each OF the great departments OF
the war and peace day of the festival
will be devoted. There will be naval
army, industrial, art and music days;
also. president, governor and mayor
days. the festival closing with a grand
international or peace day.

PORTO RICO
MUST BE OURS

The second proposition is the abso-
lutte cession of Porto Rico to the
United States, likewise unincumbered
by any liability for any bonded in
debtedness. 1t is believed that Spain
has practically made up her mind to
this condition before instituting the
overtures for peace.
Another point upon which the United
States, IL is believed. will insist Is the
cession OF certain coaling stations In
the Ladrones and Carolines. probably
Guam Island on the former and zap
Island I'm the after. and perhaps one
other in a different quarter in the world

MILES NEEDS
ONLY TWO WEEKS

Military experts allow two weeks as
the maximum period of time neces-
sary for Gen. Miles to secure this COM
manding position and therefore II IL
hoped that within that space of time
the Spanish government will have been
brought not exactly to the approval of
q treaty OF peace, but TO an applica-
tion for an armistice that i'm It's con-
ditions will amount to a concession Of
those things most desired by the United
States government.
Ii In pointed out that the conditions
promise oa a large scale to duplicate
those existing at Santiago when Gen.
Toral surrendered. The Spaniards sur
rendered with provision for "a commis4
sion TO adjust the details of a peace
treaty. but the effect OF the FIRST action
will be like that OF Torals surrender.
