Thought n policeman Was a Burglar

Thought n Policeman Was a Burglar.
 About Il o'clock last night residents of Trumbull street, near the corner of Lincoln street, saw someone in the rear of @ vacant house near that corner and thinking that it was burglar tele- phoned to police headquarters The red light at the corner of Whitney ave- nue and Grove street was put up and Patrolman Dorgan seeing it called in by the police telephone to headquarters. He was told of the fears of the resi- dents of that locality concerning burglar and tightly grasping his club he hurried down Grove street fully re- solved to distinguish himself in the capture of a burglar. Stealthily tip toeing around the vacant house on Grove street as he rounded the corner of the house he ran plump into Patrol man Hollinger. Explanations followed and it developed that Hollinger, who is one of the patrolmen appointed a few days ago, while patrolling his beat night goes through the back yards to see that no marauders are about and was looking to see that no one had broken into the vacant house when the neighbors seeing him and it being too dark to distinguish his helmet and uniform thought he was burglar.

THE SPANISH CABINET.
Peace Proposals Discussed-Apparently
 No Decision Was Reached.

Madrid, Aug. 4, 3 p. m.-The Spanish cabinet met this afternoon, the queen regent presiding, and the peace proposals were discussed. Apparently no definite decision was arrived at. Se- nor Sagasta conferred to-day with the presidents of both chambers of the cor tes and is now conferrlng with Mar shal Martinez Campos and the Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign affairs in the last cabinet of the late Senor Ca novas. Until the official account of the peace negotiations is published the ut most secrecy will be observed.
 The consultations between the pre- nier, the presidents of the chambers and other prominent persons are de- scribed as being really of national character with & view of aseertaining

NO ANSWER FROM SPAIN.
Meanwhile Preparations Go on at War
 and Navy Departments

and Navy Departments.
 Washington, Aug. 4.-There was an expectation at the state department to- day that perhaps towards the close of the afternoon some word might be re- ceived from Spain through the French ambassador in reply to the presidents deliverance yesterday on the subject of peace conditions. This expectation was based upon the fact that the terms themselves had not been modified in any point so that there was little occa- sion for prolonged discussion by the Spanish cabinet which was presumed to have thoroughly considered this mat ter before rendering the first reply. However, 1t was perceived from the news dispatches that the Madrid cab inet meeting had been inconclusive, so it was then presumed that nothing def mite could be expected before to-nor- row noor at the earliest.
 Meanwhile preparations for the Wade expedition go on steadily, a number of general officers being to-day ordered to attach themselves thereto, among them eneral Randall, who was assigned only yesterday to command the new military camp at Montauk Point. Navy depart ment officials also insist that no change has been made in the orders to the Watson squadron. Indeed, there seems to be now an evident purpose to dis patch this fine squadron to European waters, regardless of the termination of the war, the idea being that the splen- did display which will be made by the American ships will have a beneficial effect in inspiring respect for our naval strength.

PEACE TALK FROM ABROAD
MADRID ADVICES TO LONDON
 TIMES AND DAILY MAIL.

Former Paper's Correspondent Says;
 "Though Peace Is Regarded as As-
 sured 1t May Not be Attained so Quick
 ly as Generally -Expected"- Daily
 Mails Correspondent Says Spanish
 American Note.
 London, Aug. 1.-The Madrid corre- spondent of the Times says: Though peace is regarded as assured, it may not be attained so quickly as is gener- ally expected. Senor Sagasta insists upon everything being done in a quiet, orderly and dignified manner. He con- siders it necessary to have full and sat isfactory explanations as to all doubt ful points in order to enable him best to protect the national interests against the aggressive tendencies of the Wash ington cabinet. He has also to examine very minutely the exigencies of the in terna1 situation so as to avoid popular dissatisfaction and popular unrest. The Spanish people, though sincerely desir- ous of peace, are disposed to admire this hesitancy and tenacious holding out till the last although aware that it inn plies greater sacrifices. AS an illustra- tion of this feeling, while General Toral is blamed for capitu1ating at Santiago, Captain General Augustin, continuing hopeless resistance at Manila, bids fair to be a popular hero. It would be pre- mature to suppose that the political consultations now proceeding foreshad- ow the resignation of the liberal cabinet when peace is concluded. The conserv- atives have so constantly and Loyalty supported Sagasta throughout the war that no factious opposition need be feared for them."
 The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail says: '"The government has not yet answered the American note nor received President McKinley's re- ply to the explanations asked for by Senor Sagasta. The premier said to- day that the government would reply to the American demands early next week. In consulting the party leaders Sagasta is following the precedent of Castilla. It is not probable that he will resign. The premier is inclined to rush the treaty without convoking the cortes. trusting to get bill of indem- nifty next month, but the party leaders are not likely to consent to this course."

senator Morgan Prophecies Great achievements for America-Not Only Will the Nicaraguan Canal be Con- structed but Also a Canal Connecrtny Lake Michigan, the Mississippi ana Gulf of Mexico and One Between New York and AIbermarIe Sound.

~AAu hAbcEHurlb sound.
 Chicago, Aug. 1.-The Hawaiian com- mission, composed of Senator Cullom of Illinois, Senator Morgan of Alabama and Representative Hit of Illinois. met here to-day and had informal talks with number of business men.

William Harper and Dr. Harry Rog- CTS.
 After the coffee the members of the commission and others made brief speeches. Senator Morgan said the an- nexation of Hawaii would result in the construction of the Nicaragua canal. Cuba was free, Porto Rico belonged to the United States, Hawaii was annexed and the canal was unavoidable. Our flag had been raised in the Philippines and no man in America would permit it to be hauled down. Not only would the Nicaragua canal be constructed, but there would be ship canal connecting Lake Michigan, the Mississippi and the Gulf of Mexico and one between New York and Albermarle Sound.
 Referring to the war, Senator Cullom remarked that the good people did not want a war. In conducting the war President Mckinley had shown ability, quietness, a degree of wisdom and prudence that had won the esteem and admiration of every patriotic citizen. Mason and Dixon's line had been blot ted out, and we were one people. All were in favor of one flag and one Union
 Representative Hit also spoke re- garding the present war and the annex ation of Hawaii. Referring to the civil war, he said the result was accepted in good faith and honor and the south had stood by it.
 The following resolution, offered by George R. Peck, was unanimously Y1
 Resolved. That we rejoice in the as- sured prospect of an early and honorable peace, and i'll the unparalleled triumph of our brave sailors and soldiers in the ex- isting war. We hereby express our hearty admiration for and confidence in the wise, patriotic and able administration of Presi- dent Mckinley. He has been equal to every need and has shown the entire world how worthy he Is to lead great people in a great cause.
 The commission left for San Fran cisco tonight. Congressman Hit was accompanied by his wife, two sons and his congressional clerk, Henry l.. Hance, secretary of the commission; Senator Cullom was accompanied by Mrs. Cullom, William B. Ridgely of Springfield, his daughter and his stem ographer, J. c. Ridgeway; Senator Morgan by his son, George K, and private secretary.

Cause of 1t. Washington, Aug. 4.-The following. correspondence has passed between Colonel Roosevelt and Secretary Alger: Santiago, July 23.
 My Dear Sir: I am writing with the knowledge and approval of General Wheel CT. We earnestly hope that you will send us with most of the regulars, and at any rate the cavalry division, including the Rough Riders. who are as good as any regulars, and three times as good as any state troops, to Porto Rico. There are L. 500 men in this division if those who were left behind were joined to them. we could land at Porto Rlco In this cavalry divi- sno close to 4,000 men who would be worth, easily, any 10000 national guards armed with black powder Springfelds or other arcaic weapons.
 Very respectfully,
 Theodore Roosevelt
 The following reply was cabled to Colonel Roosevelt to-day:
 Your letter of 23d is received The regu- lar army the volunteer army and the Rough Riders have done we'll but I suggest that unless you want to spoil the effects and glory of your victory, you make no in sidious comparisons. The Rough Riders are no better than other volunteers. They had an advantage in their arms. for which they ought to be very grateful.

II RGE GEI7tINS-IYLANI7C STEIlH E1t. Dubious Report of the Loss of One With
 All Hands.

St. Johns, N. F., Aug. 1.-The tele- graph operator at Tilt Cove, the most northern office of Newfoundland, wires that report has just reached there of the loss of a large trans Atlantic steamer in the vinicity of Belle Isle, with all hands. The particulars ob- tainable are very meagre, but the oper- ator says it seems likely there is truth in the report, because the Labrador steamer Virginia Lake has been de- layed two days, which might be ac- counted for by her being at the scene of the wreck.
 The steamer referred to in the ac- cident in the above dispatch may be the British steamer Ipsden, bound from Quebec for Plymouth, which was yes- terday reported as ashore on Belle Amour Point, Straits of Belle Isle. The report received yesterday stated that the cargo was being saved.

A great crowd had gathered to see
and to bid on the greatest curiosity in
the world. The auctioneer's catalogue
described 1t truly as the only thing Of
its kind in existence" " and collectors
who had come from all parts Of the
country acknowledged that it was
unique. When the auctioneer ascended
the rostrum, there was breathless si-
lence.
"1t is unnecessary for me to prove
that this curiosity has no double in the
world he began. "You all know that
another like it does not exist; that this
is the only low grade bicycle on earth.
Has any one here ever heard Of low
grade bicycle before?''
''No, mol" the shout went up.

It isn't the thing to wear an evening
fan on gold chain any more. 1t should
be worn on string Of imitation pearls,
if you cannot afford the real thing, and
few can, since the correct length for the
string is seven feet. If a wealthy woman
wears one Of these ornaments, it is i'm
possible to tell that the jewels are bogus,
or at least that's what the shopkeepers
say. The mock pearls are certainly per-
feet enough and pretty enough to make
the worst wounded oyster in the waters

mends his she'll It is also the style to
wear these strings wound round and
