ing SPANS communication. In
view, however, of the fact that the
United States government would
make speedy reply to the Span
ish proposition it was deemed de-
sirable that NJ. Cambon should be
clothed by the Spanish government
with a larger measure of authority
than that of merely conveying and
receiving communications passing
between the two governments.
Accordingly the desirability OF this
course was made known to the au-
thorities at Madrid. The latter
shared in the view and as a result
the Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs, Duke Afmadovar de Rio, ca
bled to the French embassy on last
Friday, entirely changing and en-
larging the scope of NJ Cambon's
authority from that given when the
original Spanish proposition was
presented. The dispatch from Duke
Almadovar was almost complete IN
it's dealing with the subjects of
controversy between the United
States and Spain which would be
involved in the discussion Of the
terms of peace.
Besides treating each subject
involved, it fully enabled the am
bassador to discuss from the Span
ish governments point of view the
propositions about to be made by
the United States on all questions
of peace. OF course between Tues
day and Friday there was no time
for mailing written credentials in
the usual sense employed in diplo-
matte intercourse. The matter be-
ing urgent, and about to eliminate
in meeting at the White House,
the instructions were necessarily
embraced in a cable dispatch bear
ing the signature of the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs. Even
the dispatch was in cipher so that
it lacked those usual formalities
Of written credentials by which the
right of a diplomatic official TO eX-
press the direct views of foreign
government are made known. The
essential point, however, free from
technicalities, was that M. Cam
bon received from the Spanish mill
lister of foreign affairs, these en-
larged instructions permitting him
to speak the views of Spain upon
various points at issue and thus
to bring the two governments,
United States and Spain, into d.
rect discussion.
1t was under such circumstances
that the French ambassador and
his secretary. M. Thiebaut, made
their notable call at the White
House last Saturday. NJ. Cambon
was IN possession of the enlarged
instructions and the conference
proceeded with the amba
expressing the views of the snan-
1sh government.
Tie official communication when
maze public, it is understood, will
make this authority of M. Cambon's
plain.
Madrid, August I, II p. m.-The
cabinet council sat this afternoon
and again for four hours this even

augurated by the wire drawers Of the
three large mills recently absorbed by
the wire trust in this city, unless a
compromise is effected in the mean
time between the employees and the
company. Six hundred men. who are
members of the Federated Wire Draw
ers' Union, claim their wages have
been cut 33 Is per cent since the
trust took hold of the mills. If the six
hundred men go out, as now seems
likely, two or three thousand other
employees will be affected.
