SAGASTA
General Polavieja's New Party As
suming Great Importance.
THE DELAYED PEACE COMMISSION

Sngasta Gives Very Pertinent Reason
For the Dclay-Points OF the Bill
Introduced in the Cortes For the
Conclusion of Peace.
Madrid, Sept. General Polavieja's
new party is assuming the greatest i'm
portance. His program has met with
the warm approval of the great news
papers, particularly FL Imparcial El
Heraldo and El Naclonal. The latter,
until lately, had supported General
Weyler, but it will rally now to Cen
eral Polavieja, who proposes a reor-
ganization of Spain from the financial
and political view points.
1t is understood that General Pola-
vleja decided to organize a new party
after several conferences with "a high
parsonage" who, however, has not in
terfered directly in the formation Of the
party. His manifesto is now under
consideration. If the military censor
refuses to grant an exequature the
manifesto will be read in the chamber
of deputies.
The general conviction is that as soon
as the treaty of peace is signed the
Sagasta cabinet will resign and be re-
placed by either a Silvera or a Pola-
vieja ministry.
The speech of Count D'Almenas in
the senate on Wednesday has greatly
excited the military party, whose hot
espousals of the cause of their Cuban
comrades threatens to make trouble.
Senior Sagasta said last evening:

Shenandoah Boys Have Good Time at

EDITOR HERALD After hearing all the
complaints made by some of the boys who

FrOm MahanOy CITY Record.
We commend to the attention of our
readers letter from Camp Middleton, from
Private" We are sorry we cannot pub
lish the name of the writer as it would give
additional weight to the statements contained
therein. We have not placed great deal of
confidence in many of the statements con-
cernng hunger and ill-treatment among our
own boys, although there has doubtless been
something more of this than the country
cares fer among the soldiers who went to
Cuba and Porto Rico, and we are glad to have
and publish the plain statement from a
Private" As for Quartermaster Rausch,
we do not believe anyone here supposed fol
an instant that any failure to supply the
boys with food, either in quality or quantity
was due to neglect upon his part

one solid Week of Repertoire.

The doors of FerguAOn's theatre will be
thrown open to our theatre going public next
Monday to the best travelling repertoire com
pany that has ever produced high-priced
plays at popular prices. The originator and
author of the plays Elmer E. Vance, will be
here in person, which is a guarantee that no
spectator will be duped in witnessing the
productions. The engagement will be in
augurated with the production of Mr.. Nance's
famous railroad play THE Limited Mail"
1t is triumph of realism and mechanism.
The fight of the limited mall railroad
train 200 feet in length and 12 feet in height,
is marvel of ingenuity. The predictions
are that large audience will greet the
opening performance. Reserved seats can be
secured at Kirlin's drug store. Popular
prices, 10, 20 and 30 cents will prevail.

missioners ought to have the full con-
fidence Of the government, but who can
say who will be in power a month
hence?"
The bill authorizing the government
to conclude peace is as follows:
"The reVerses suffered by our arms In
the unequal struggle to which we were
driven in order to defend the honor Of
the nation and maintain its rights de-
prived us at an early stage of the ele-
ments required for continuing the war.
"The bravery of our soldiers and sail
ors proved insufficient, as did the calm
attitude of the nation, ever ready to
shed it's blood and sacrifice its re-
sources for the honor of the Spanish
flag.
Separated by wide seas from the
| territories II was our object to pro-
| tect, and these territories being closely
| blockaded so that our few remaining
| ships could not reach them, her ma
| jesty's government has been compelled
| to admit the bitter truth, which is that
| an end must be put to the war.
"The sense of responsibility entailed
| by the preliminary peace negotiations
| has weighed most heavily on the gov
! ernment. Notwithstanding 1t fully ap-
preciated it's duty toward the country,
the government had to consent to these
preliminary negotiations and to bow
to the cruel sacrifices imposed by sheer
! necessity. For this reason, and be-
cause peace must be purchased at the
cost of a cession of territory and the
abandonment of sovereign rights the
government has thought ii eXpedient tO
sound the cortes before concluding the
treaty, the ratification Of which will be

cordance with constitutional law,

AN ELECTROLYsIs CLAUSE.
Virginia Electrical CO.'S Franchise
to Contain One.


The Council Committee on Streets did
not take action last night, as was ex-
pected on the application Of the Virginia
Electrical Railway and Development Com
pany for an amendment in the franchise
Of the Virginia Electric Company, which
the first-named company has recently ac-
ouired.
Only five Of the members were present
Messrs. Allen. Pollock, Ebel, Burton. and
Woody--and as these did not constitute a
quorum the matter could not be taken
up. Every effort was made to get the
members of the committee together, and
those present waited for an hour after
the designated time. In the mean time
there was an informal discussion, which
developed the fact that the City Attorney
will recommend that the ordinance be
amended as desired, and that a clause
will be inserted protecting the city
against electrolysis. Mr.. Randolph VIII
nams. of counsel for the company, said
the bond for $4,000 would be given within
ten days OF the passage of the ordinance,
and that the request that the 5000 bond
posted by the old company should be
transferred would not be pressed.
An urgent call has been sent out for a
meeting TO be held at o'clock this after
noon 10 consider the matter.
A special and urgent call has been is
sued for the Board of Public Interests TO
