ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
Spain Seeking a Favorable Oppor-
tunity to Make Overtures.

WASHINGTON. June 5.-The belief
is growing in the best-informed Gov
ernment circles that Spain is sincerely
anxious to make peace, and that even
now she is seeking a favorable oppor-
tunity to make overtures in that di-
rection. Numerous evidences of this
have come to the attention of the au-
thorities here, but up to this time no
actual move has been made toward as
certaining on what basis the United
States would consider peace.
1t is said that the first step would
be toward having some disinterested
power make inquiry of this Govern
ment as to what terms would be ac-
cepted after which, the terms being
stated, it would be for Spain to form
q commission and make a formal ten
der Of peace. The authorities here feel
that Spain is feeling her way toward
a movement of this kind. One evidence
of it is the utterance of the Spanish
Embassador at London, urging that
peace movement is opportune at this
time 1t is thought to be highly inn
probable that a Spanish official of his
rank would make a statement of this
kind unless it voiced the view enter
tained by the authorities at Madrid.
Another evidence is the sending OF
Senior Castillo to Paris, his principal
mission being to enlist sympathy there
and to encourage a movement toward
securing peace on basis honorable to
Spain With this comes the report of
the serious embarrassment of the Bank
of Spain on which the Government re-
lies for funds to carry on the war.
The desperate condition of the Spanish
forces at Manila, Santiago and Havana
are looked upon as added reasons why
Spain should be solicitous at this time
for peace.
But while Spain is thought to be anx-
ious to secure peace, she appears to be
unable to secure the services of dis
interested power to take the initiative
in a peace movement. This was the
view expressed to-day by a leading
member of the diplomatic corps. He
said that much surprise had been
caused at foreign capitals by the re-
sentiment in the United States against
the kindly representations of, the great
Powers, made to President Mckinley
some weeks ago, which had been treat
ed by the American press and by pubic
opinion throughout this country as an
intrusion on the part Of the great POW
ers. For that reason the efforts since
made by Spain to induce the European
Powers to intervene had met With nat
failure, because none of the powers
wish to arouse the enmity of the United
States. For the same reason, TINS
diplomatic official pointed out, the Eu-
ropean Powers were loath to befriend
Spain at the present time, even to the
extent of making inquiry as to what
basis of peace would be acceptable to
the United States. No one Power
would undertake such inquiries, he
said, as it would subject that Power
to the. possibility of being snubbed. He
thought such a snub quite likely, in
view of the manner in which the kind
ly representation of the Powers had
been received some weeks ago. And,
while no Power was willing to act
alone, neither could the Powers be
brought together for united action
along that line. For this reason it is
pointed out that Spain's isolation at the

Disastrous Collision Near Freeport
Yesterday.

Among those who went from the city
yesterday to attend the Portuguese eel
ebration near Freeport were several
who travelled on their bicycles, but
some Of them did not return awheel
1t seems that when within about q
mile of Freeport, on the down trip, two
or three Wheelmen were run down by
a couple of buggies, one of the latter be-
ing occupied by two women. Two wheels
were smashed and the riders injured.
The horse hauling the buggy occupied
by the women ran away, overturned
and broke the vehicle, and one of the
women was pretty badly hurt

GARDEN CITyS LAID OUT.
BEATEN BY GILT EDGES SIX
TEEN TO NOTHING.
A Large Crowd Witnessed the Pro-
ceeding at Snowflake
Park

The patrons of baseball in Sacramen-
to are wondering how much the reputa-
tion of the San Jose team Of alleged
Eastern 'phenomenons" and Western
cracks" cost when it was new 1t
had the glitter and ring of the genuine
article yesterday morning, but long be-
fore the shades of evening settled down
on it, like two or three pals, the gid
ing had been rubbed off, the ring
sounded brassy, and its tires were
punctured. That reputation had that
tired feeling when the Gilt Edges I'm
ished with it.
From the very beginning there was
no doubt about the issue of the game.
The burly locals took a diamond hitch
on it in the first inning, and drew the
cinch so tight that the Garden City
boys had no room to take breath.
About two years ago 16 to was con-
sidered a pretty good game by a great
many people, but 16 to O-the score
chalked up after the cessation of hos
tilities was not very inviting. Only one
thing could have been worse-the score
reversed.
1t was a case Of modern rifles and
Harveyized skill against ancient
smoothbores and obsolete Notifications.
1t was craftsmanship and ironclads
pitted against blind luck and wooden
hulks, and there could be only one end
ing to the affair.
STILL excuses should always be made
for visitors, and the fact that the san
Joses played a hard game with the
Fresnos Saturday, and were still some
what jaded, may have had something
to do with the 16 to 0 proposition, and
the further fact that Arrick, who threw
hot shot into the Fresno ranks in the
game mentioned, was called on to pltch
against the hard hitting Gilts, may
also have had something to do with 1T.
AS matter of fact, Arrick was tired,
and during the first inning was as
wild as a Texas long-horn. He had
considerable speed and some good
curves, but he was weary and the sun
beat down and Strengthened them out,
and the Gilt Edges sent them into the
outfields for all kinds of hits.
The Gilt Edges rolled up two runs in
the first inning, one in the fourth,
eight in the sixth and five in the sew
enth, and then slackened fire for fear
the boys from San Jose might be over
come while chasing the leather. In the
seventh inning the visitors took Arrick
out of the box and put in Brockhoff,
and the locals broke off, five runs
from his delivery without so much as
straining a button.
Iberg was expected to pitch for the
visitors, but he failed to put in an ap
pearance; but even with Iberg, or two
eye burg, the San Joses have no busi-
ness in the same lot with the Gilt
Edges. They play streaked ball, and
most of the streaks were yellow.
A number Of grandstand plays were
made by the locals, and 'Silent" Har-
vey covered himself with glory by sail
ing the ball over the south fence for
home run.
Iberg, the San Jose pitcher, who, for
some unknown reason failed to show
up, was promptly fined $50 by Umpire
Sweeney.
The result in detail will be found in
the amended chart:

Portuguese Festival Yesterday
Decorations Burned.

The Trinity Sunday celebration
held by the Portuguese of Free
port and vicinity yesterday on the
Yolo side of the river was largely at
tended by people from far and near.
The features of the celebration are said
to have been very picturesque and in
teresting, and passed off according to
programme.
There was one feature, however,
that was not on the programme, and
it was a very unfortunate one. The
large Soto building, in which portion
of the exercises were to take place,
caught fire at noon and was burned to
the ground. 1t contained all the dec
orations used at this annual festival,
and the loss to the people amounts to
several hundred dollars.
By hard work of those in attendance
the fire was kept from spreading to
other buildings. With this exception
everything passed off pleasantly.

had the unpleasant experience of hav-

the watch until he got the thief. He
at once turned him over to Officer
Logue, who deposited him in the City
Prison, retaining the watch to be used
as evidence.
1t transpired that the man arrested
was William Parker, hanger on about
