Washington, July 27.-The Spanish
government has sued for peace, not in
directly, through the great powers of
Europe, but by direct appeal to Presi-
dent Mckinley. The proposition was
formally submitted to the president at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon by the
French ambassador, Nj. Jules CambOn,
who had received instructions from
the foreign Office at Paris to deliver to
the United States government the ten
der of peace formulated by the Span
ish ministry. AT the conclusion of the
conference between the president and
the French ambassador the following
official statement was issued from the
White House:
half of the government of Spain, and
by direction Of the spanish Minister
of Foreign Affairs, presented to the
president this afternoon Mt the White
House, II message from the Spanish
government looking to the termina-
tion of the war and settlement of
terms of peace"
This was the only official statement
made public, but it sufTlced to put
at rest all conjectures, and to make
clear and definite that at last Spain
had taken the initiative toward peace.
Although peace rumors have been cur
rent almost daily heretofore since the
war began, not one of them had the
shadow of foundation, and until the
French ambassador received instruc-
tions from Paris late Monday night no
oVertures of any kind had been re-
ceived. Shortly before Monday mid
night a dispatch to the French en-
bassy made it known to the embassy
that the ambassador would be charged
with the important mission of opening
peace negotiations in behalf of Spain.
The complete instructions, including
an official letter from Duke Almadoyer
Rio, Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs, was received yesterday.
The proposition submitted by the
ambassador, acting for the Spanish

AMBASSADOR CAMBON.

government, was quite general in
terms, and was confined to the one and
essential point of an earnest plea that
negotiations be opened for the purpose
of terminating the war and arriving at
terms of peace. The communication of
the Spanish government did not sug-
gest any specific terms of peace, nor
was there any reference made to Cuba,
the Philippines, Porto Rico or oher
Spanish possessions. The evident pur
pose of the Madrid authorities was to
first learn whether the United States
would treat on the subject of peace,
and after that to take up such terms
as the two parties might suggest
Neither was there any suggestion from
the Spanish government that an arm
istice be established pending the peace
negotiations. 1t seemed natural, how
ever, from the proposition that formal
peace negotiations be entered upon,
that pending their conclusion acessa-
ton of hostilities would occur.
Owing to the Importance of the COM
munication the ambassador adopted
the usual diplomatic procedure of
reading the communication from the
original in French, the translation be-
ing submitted by M. Thiebaut, In the
conversation which followed the read
ing of the proposition neither the pres
ident nor the ambassador entered upon
the question of the terms of peace. The
instructions of the ambassador had
confined him to the one essential point
of opening peace negotiations, and it
was evident that the president desired
to consider the proposition before Civ
ing any definite reply, 1t was finally de-
termined that the president would con-
suit the members of the cabinet con-
cerning the proposition, and after a
decision had been arrived at M. Cam
bon would then be invited to the White
House for further conference and for

asked where he placed the blame for Spanish
disasters said "The government, the army

politicians have all sinned. The fatherland
has sinned mortally. Its patriotism and all
its actions have been passive. 1t has not

has achieved nothing, The only thing we

The Old Shenandoah City COlliery still

Doubling the Air Compressor Plant to
Work Engines That win Hoist Many
Thousand Tons Of Coal From a
New Underground Slope.

Not many years ago the Shenandoah CITY
colliery, operated by the Philadelphia 4
Reading Coal & Iron Company, was looked
upon by many as worked-out and RAPIDLY
dying holding. More than dozen times the
prediction was made that in few years the
breaker would be simply silent witness of
what the colliory had been and hundreds of
men and boys would be obliged to seek en-.
pIoyment elsewhere.
There were some experienced and far-see-
ing people, however, who saw future for
the colliery and following the cleaning of the
stripping5 there came the sinking of the new
shaft and later the reconstruction of the
breaker, whereby it was increased in size and
equipped with all the modern machinery for
preparing coal.
But even these advanced steps and large
expenditures Of money failed to restore faith
III some people as to the future of the
colliery and not few marveled that
50 much money should be spent on mine
which was apparently so near its end To-day
the collicry is in a condition that surprises

are now engaged in making excavations for
foundation walls to double the capacity of

west of the breaker. The developments be-
meath the surface have progressed to a stage
that the air compressors are unable to keep
pace with the requirements. The power
generated by the enlarged plant will be
carried about six hundred feet to the top of
the shaft which is located southeast of the
breaker, then down the shaft to the bottom,
and then half a mile in to the top of new
slope that is being sunk from the sixth level
and at the top Of which a pair of hosting |
engines are to be placed 1t is said by some
people who are in position to know what is .
going on that the openings this new slope
will create will make the old coliery a
Klondike for years to come. In the language
of one gentleman, "The slope is now down .
over one thousand feet, and there iq no tell |
ing where it will stop, I would not be sur
prlsed to see it reach out to Lanigans."

MANILA SURRENDERED.

Madrid, July 27.-It is rumored here that
Manila has surrendered to the Americans.
The situation at Manila is causing the
deepest anxiety. The Government believes
that the town has been bombarded by the
American warships and that it was con-
currently attacked on the land side by 12,-
600 Americans and 20, 900 rebels.
Captain-General Augustin has about 10000
European soldiers, sailors, and marines. He
is sorely embarrassed by the non -combatants,
but he is expected to make prolonged re-
sistance, unless lack of provisions and water
compels him to consider the sufTerings of the
inhabitants. In any case, it is supposed
that he will only surrender to Admiral
Dewey.

Of autonomy for Cuba has failed We
do not believe that Spain ever enter

Not only do the Cubans in arms re-

Spanish families likewise.
The suggestion made some time ago
that this autonomous scheme was in
tended only as a stop gap, a means for
gaining time for Spain, is now strength
ened by dispatches which hint that at
the bottom the Spanish Government is
convinced it cannot hold Cuba, and
would willingly relinquish the island, if
a way to that end, with honor, can be
pointed out, with the addition Of partial
compensation for her expenditure in at

Dispatches from Havana are to the
effect that the Spanish in Cuba who

Spanish dislike for the American States

there has been no manifestation in this
