a MOTORMAN's SERIOUS NiIsHAp.
Trolley Wire of Lakeside Line
Breaks and Shocks vi. j.. Noorc

Nj. J. Moore, a motorman on the Lake
side electric car line, came near having
serious, perhaps fatal, mishap yester-
day evening about o'clock, having been
struck by a falling trolley wire and
knocked from the car platform.
The motorman was on his usual run.
and had reached Barton Heights when
the trolley wire broke and one of the
ends struck him in falling. He was
shocked so severely as to be thrown from
his position to the ground. Two fingers
the middle and ring-were broken by the
fall.
The ambulance, with DIR. Brown In
charge, was called, and Mr.. Moore treated
for his injury and taken to his home, in
Manchester. He soon recovered from the
electric shock.

Spain Sues For Peace

The humiliation of Admiral Cervera' s
fleet. followed by the capitulation of
Santiago. having brought to the Spanish
Government Il realizing sense of the
hopelessness of continuing a struggle
now become wholly UNEQUAL, it made
overtures of peace through the French
Ambassador, who. with the assent of
his Government had acted as the friend
~ representative of Spanish interests
during the war. On the 10Th of July. NJ
Cambon presented n communication
signed by the Duke of Almodovar. the
Spanish Minister of State, inviting the
United States TO state the terms upon
which it would be willing to make peace.
On the Both Of July. by a communica-
ton addressed to the Duke of Almodo-
var and handed to NJ. Cambon, the terms
of this Government were announced,
substantially as in the protocol after
wards signed. On the 10th Of August
the Spanish reply, dated August 9Th,
was handed by NJ. Cambon to the Sec
rotary of State. 1t accepted uncondi-
tionally the terms imposed as to Cuba,
Porto Rico and an island in the Ladrones
group, but appeared TO seek to introduce
inadmissible reservations in regard to
our demand as to the Philippine Islands.
Conceiving that discussion on this point
could neither be practical nor profitable,
| directed that in order to avoid mis-
understanding the matter should be
forthwith closed by proposing the en-
bodiment in q formal protocol of the
terms upon which the negotiations for
peace were to Ne undertaken The
vague and inexplicit suggestions of the
Spanish note could not be accepted. the
only reply being to present as virtual
ultimatrim draft or protocol embodying
the precise terms rendered to Spain in
orr note of July 30th. with added stipn-
lations of detail as to tho appointment
of commissioners to arrange for the
evacuation of the Spanish Antilles. On
August 18th. NJ. Cambon. as the Pleni-
notentiary of Spain. and the Secretary of
State. as the Plenipotentiary of the
United States, signed a protocol provid-
ing:

Reference is made TO the United
Stairs of Central America, and the
collapse of that federation is noted. No
complications are anticipated as the
United States held each country separ-

This Government was not officially
advised of the installation of the fedora

friendly expectancy, while in no wise

NO TROUBLE WITH THE POWERS
With the one exception OF the repture
