SPANS MESSAGE WAS DELAYED.

London. July 30.-The Madrid correspondent
Of THE Times" in dispatch dated Thursday
and delayed in transmission, explains that the
function of NJ Cambon. the French Ambassador
at Washington, in Spain's approach to the
United States merely that Of a transmit
ting agency" The correspondent proceeds:
THE message was dispatched from Madrid
Thursday night. July 81. The delay In its de-
livery at Washington arose from the fact that
when Sehor Polo de Bernabe. the Spanish Min
lister to the United States, retired on the break
ing off of diplomatic relations and confded the
interests OF Spain TO France and Austria, he
left only single copy Of the diplomatic cipher.
when NJ. Cambon received the peace mes
sage this cipher happened to be In the posses
sion Of his Austrian colleague. who was out
of town.
The idea Is current here that but for this
delay the Porto Rico expedition might have
been indefinitely deferred This will not, how
ever. stand the test Of careful examination"

COMMENT OF LONDON PAPERS.

London, July 30.-Except upon the unsettled
point Of the Philippines tho main lines OF the
peace terms were already discounted here. The
editorials in the morning Japers to-day gen
orally regard them evidence Of a desire on the
part Of the United States to meet Spain gener
ously, and to limit 80 far as possible the ex-
tension of Americas administrative response
biues beyond seas.
The papers agree that there is no limited
liability in warfare Spain is naturally sore
but they point out she must put up with the
loss Of Porto Rico. and If she is well advised
she will close with the American terms.
THE Morning Post" however. says: Since
the United States have decided TO take Porto
Rico there is need 10 be fastidious about
Cuba. 1t must be seen now that the resolution
OF Congress was unnecessary tying or hands
If It is consistent with justice and morality to
annex Porto Rico 1t cannot De WICKED or uh-
just TO annex Cuba.
"The spectacle OF a Government. after sue
cession Of victories, spending days in discussing
q reply TO a request for terms of peace Is a
novelty by no means agreeable. The art OF see
ing how the wind blows is Of very little use FOR
directing ship in a storm"
"The Daily Chronicle is for the annexation
OF the Philippines. and thinks ut Will not be an
easy task TO bring General Merritt and his
army back with nothing TO show but coalins
station" The newspaper says
1--WE are impatient with American modesty in
believing the task of governing the philippines
TOO much for the United States. II must De ad-
mitted that grave danger looms IN Serihuh

WAR NEWS OF TODAY.

Seilnor Gamazo, the Spanisl. Minister Of Pub
lie Instruction. says in an interview that
Spain has not asked for an armistice or even
suspension OF hostilites. but has merely
asked whether the United States Is disposed
to make peace
The work Of strengthening the defences at
Cadiz continues The arrival Of Admiral
Camaras squadron caused no enthusiasm
among the inhabitants who are anxious for
peace at any price.
There Is great uneasness in business circles In
Santiago de Cuba for fear that the govern
ment Of the city will be turned over to the
Cubans. Spanish and Cuban merchants
have countermanded orders for goods and
are awaiting some expression Of the Wash
ington Governments intention as to the
policy in Cuba.
Manila advces Of July q. brought to Hong
Kong by British gunboat, say that the
situation was unchanged up to that date,
and that the Americans had made no attack
on the city.
The American flag has been raised over the city
and port Of Ponce both Of which were sur
rendered to General Miles without resls-
tance.
President Mckinley discussed with his Cabinet
advisers the reply to be made to Spain s
overtures for peace. II Is believed that an
agreement was reached TO demand the sur
render of Porto Rico. the independence Of
Cuba. and coallng stations in the Ladrone
and Caroline islands The disposition Of the
Philippines will be taken up again to-day

the peace negotiations will not be very smooth

A Fatal Mishap.

Charles NJ. Marstella, son Of Mr..
John A. Marstella, of East Burke
street, met death about eleven o clock,
Wednesday morning, while working
in the bridge department OF the B. &
o. shops. The unfortunate young
man has been running a slotting
machine, and, it is supposed, that he
was sitting on the machine with his
back to the bit and the iron which he
was cutting, and leaning back his
head was caught Just back OF the ears,
between the iron and bit, and his life
was crushed out almost instantly. He
fell to the floor and his brother work
men fastened to summon medical aid
and render assistance but he lived on
ly a few moments, never regaining
consciousness. Mr.. Marstella was
about 70 years of age and a very
pleasant and highly respected young
man, and the community was greatly
shocked to learn of his untimely death.
His father. tour sisters and brother,
whosurvive him have the sympathy of
the community. The funeral services
were held at 4 p. m. Friday afternoon,
attended by the K. OF p, Of which he
was member.

ness, if you want to get we'll and stay
we'll. Most likely it's indigestion.
The irritating poisons of fermenting,
putrid food, left in the stomach by in
digestion, cause headache, neuralgia,
nervousness, dizziness, stomach ache,
nausea, irritability, and all the other
well-known symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to other
causes and hence are not easily cured.
But as soon as the poisons are re-
moved, all these symptoms and dis
orders disappear, because there is
nothing left to cause them. Nothing
succeeds in this like Shaker Digestive

gested food from fermenting in the
