THE STORY DENIED.

State Department Says No Peace Over
4, lures Were Made Before Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-1t can be
stated on the authority of the state
department and foreign embassies here
that there were no peace overtures in
behalf of Spain for peace or for ces-
sation of hostilities until the French
ambassador Tuesday afternoon pre-
scented note to the president. This
statement is made with the full knowl-
edge of European demands and must
be accepted as that of the government
of the United States. Therefore all
talk about bad faith in pressing the
Porto Rican campaign in the last few
days is absolutely without foundation
Our government has done nothing
which can subject it to criticism on
that score.
