READY TO
SUE FOR PEACE.
Indications Are That
Spain Wants To
Stop Fighting.

Madrid, July Is. The official
Gazette to day published a royal
decree suspending throughout
Spain, the rights OF individuals
as guaranteed by the constitu-
ton. The decree adds that the
government will reuder account
to parliament of the use it may
make OF this measure.
The public action taken in is
sueirg the decree is generally
accepted as being convincing
proof that Spain is now ready
to sue for peace, and also that
negotiations to that efle-t are
already III progress. The Cows
eminent wishes to have tull
power to suspend all evidences
Of discomfort or rebellion.
The Carlists are furious ard
are sure to attempt. to make
trouble. One official expressed
the conviction that official over.
lures for peace would be drawn
up before Sunday.
There is every reason to be.
lieve that France has offered herI
service to Spain in the matter.
Signor Sagasta says that
Spain wants peace, but it must
be honorable peace as Spain dc
serves. The army is anxious to
resist to the last but the governs
ment cannot consent to a useless
sacrifice. Had we our fleet the
would be different.

| his Morn:no's Fire

At tWo o'clock this rornira
fire broke out in the Isaac Lee
building Oh Road street, near
Canal bridge. The alarm was
promptly responded to by the
Albemarle Fire Company, and
in short while the engine was
at the scene of the conAagration
but the fire being so close to the
canal the frenen were forced to
romove the engine to Martin
street and lay hose across a
swamp. In moving the engine
some part of the pulling gear
gave way. All this, Of course,
caused delay and many thought
the FIRE would spread r3ridly :;
b'st soon the water was turned
on and the FIRE gotten undel
control the result being that
several buildings near the old
burning shauties We're saved
all due to the work of the FIRE
men. Tie buildings destroyed
save the coach shop of Carter
& Son, were old aud del apida>
ted and of little value; however,
there was enough insurance On
them to cover the loss. The
coach shop of Carter & Son was
uninsured and the loss to them
is quite heavy. The origin of
the fire is unknown.
The Hook and Ladder CO.
also responded promptly and did
valuable service as they always
do.
