NEW YORK, July 28. .sThe Washington correspondea ot the Herald sends the follcsving That peace is in sight is thg con fdent belief of President NEKin- ley and most of his official ad- visers as the result of information which came to them to-day through official and newspaper channels. A long cipher cable message was received by Secre- tary Day this morning from Elm bassador Porter at Paris on the subject of peace negotiations. The contents of this dispatch were carefully guarded from the r&bli-, but l am assured that 1t has had the effect of convincing the authorities here that Spain is really sincere in the peace negoti- ations which she has inaugurated and wants and will have peace upon the best terms she can ob- teir.
 The Herald has accurately outlined the general terms which the President will submit to Spain and which must be ac- cepted by Spain before the ad- ministration will consent to an armistice for the purpose of per fecting the details of the final agreement for ending the war. Information received to-day has led the authorities to believe that Spain will accept these condi- tions.
 With these principles accepted by Spain as conditions prelini- nary to the appointment of peace commissioners for the purpose oi concluding all details incident to a complete agreement for ending the war, peace will be assured notwithstanding the many ugly and complex questions to be set tied with regard to the future government of the Philippines
 President Mckinley now ex- poets to be able to send for Elm bassador Cambon on Saturday and give him his reply to Spain Secretary Day has made a rough draft of the note embodylng these terms, and he and the Pres ident went over it at the White House to-day. This note will

Meat Inspector Hughes Finds Some
Undsniabls Evidence Of . VII
lainous Trade

For long time Meat Inspector Hughes
has been almost certain that horse meat
was being sold as beef by some Of the
butchers in this city. but It was not until
yesterday that he was able to secure posi-
tive evidence that certain butchers were
making practice Of such sales. With the
assistance Of the detectives. he discovered
the body Of = colt that had been killed for
sale at meat stores and which would have
bean sold to private consumers had the
discovery not been made.
At the meat store of p. Caterer at
Buena Vista and Ord streets the body Of a
colt was discovered which had been
Slaughtered but few hours before and
which was about to be dressed and Of
fered for sale a. beef.
Caterer keeps what is known as the
Arizona market. His place has been under
surveillance for months, the meat inspector
being of the opinion that diseased meat
was sold there, although he had no idea
that horsedesh was disposed Of.
Shortly after midnight yesterday PATROL
man Lennon stopped the meat dealers
wagon not far from his place of business
and asked him what he was doing out at
that hour Of the night. He replied that he
had been to Eagle Rock canyon and had
purchased a calf and a COW which he was
taking to his store. The oflcer at once re-
ported the matter to headquarters, and
Detective Flammer was sent to the place

they were founded in the passion Of
love after the manner In which 1t had been
SO ably discussed in the earlier scenes.
Miss Waldorf's voice is musical and
strong, her enunciation sometimes clouded,
but mostly clear and correct, while her
rendering of blank verse is good enough
to entitle her to place among the best ac-
tresses upon the stage today. Her facial
expression is mobile and attractive, the
more so because, although she Is pretty and
has large. lustrous eyes, she does not use
the baby stare so common among women
who are pretty and nothing else. -
When Miss Waldorf has been seen In the
character Of Julia, in 1.-The Hunchback,"
which is the bill for tonight. 1t win be pos
sible to arrive at a closer estimate Of her
powers than can be made after seeing her
but once in such part as that OF Parthe-
mia. In the, meantime. however. 1t Is safe
to assert that an actress has arrived upon
the stage who will in due time be heard
from.
The cast was greatly helped by VIM.
McVay, whose statuesque, on might al
most say colossal, proportions made him
an ideal Ingomar, particularly when, In
addition, he was found to be the possessor
of a fine, sonorous voice of the Louis James
order and an ability to use 1t effectively.
His acting was highly intelligent, forcible
and effective.
Miss Waldorf will appear as Julia. in

BURBANK THEATER.-The bill at this
house was changed last night to 1.-THE Fire
Patrol" melodrama, In which the class of
plays the Elleford company are at home.
This particular piece has an unusual
amount of dangers and hairbreadth es-
capes, in which the stamp mill of gold
mine and a fire patrol wagon with two real
horses play no small part. Richard Scott
played the part of the hero with success
and easily won the sympathies of his au-
dience. He was ably supported by e. j.
Blunkall. Francis Yale was again seen in
the role of the polished villain who, after
committing some dreadful deed, smokes a
cigarette to show you that he is calm.
James Corrigan made very funny part
out of the lieutenant, and w. ]. Elleford
made his usual hit as Lushington Stagger-
act, an actor gone wrong. Jessie Norton
had part which appeared to suit her, but
her songs were missed. Lillian Elliott was
the prosecuted heroine and looked quite
captivating when she appeared In
dress suit. The balance of the
cast was we'll filled and the piece went
with the necessary amount of snap. 1.-THE
Fire PATROL will be continued the balance
of the week with a matinee Saturday.

ference, being apparently as unmoved as
anybody in the room.
All day impassioned addresses were made
to the jury. Mr.. Shinn spoke several hours
during which the defendant was as white
as the driven snow and as innocent Of get
ting away with the money Of the Electric
Lighting company as the babe unborn,
while the bones of Captain Bolton turned
uneasily In their coffin as the lawyer laid
on the blame thick and heavy to him.
When Mr.. McComas began the closing
argument for the people the tune changed.
The deputy district attorneys withering
arraignment of Blackman was scorching
to the. poor man, who seemed to decrease
in size while, seated beside his faithful
wife, whose brow was overcast with a
deep furrow of apprehension and dread,
he listened to the raking over provided for
him in the McComasian pyrotechnics Of
forensic oratory. Once again the disturbed
bones of the suicided captain resumed their
easy position in the grave as the dulcet
tones Of the district attorney gave him q
clean bill Of health.
However, all things come to an end, and
at 400 Mr.. McComas had spoken himself
dry. 1t took Judge Smith nearly l5 min
utes to read his voluminous instructions,
but at SIS the case went finally to the
jury. They went to dinner, after taking
one ballot, and at 7:10 again returned to
work.
At $50 the jury filed into the court room
and asked Judge Smith for further instruc-
tions on a matter of fact. The judge asked
whether or not the question had anything
to do with the amount Of the defalcation,
but without answering this the jury were
returned to their room. At 11:35 they an
nounced that a verdict had been reached
After hearing the foreman's verdict and
polling the jury, Judge Smith discharged
them. fixing Monday next at 10 a. M as
the hour for sentence.
1t was later learned that on the first
ballot the jury stood to for conviction.
and the three doubtful ones were soon
convinced. Blackman's attorneys. 1t is un-
derstood. will make motion for new
trial on technical grounds when their cli-
ent comes up for sentence.

TO GAIN THEIR LIBERTY
Two More Prisoners in the City Jail
Try Habeas Corpus Proceedings

Herman Stump, charged with petty lar
ceny, and Wingate Lindsey with embezzle-
ment, are trying to secure their release
from the city jail by means of writ of
habeas corpus. The writ was applied for
yesterday in the superior court, but the
nearing was postponed until Saturday.
Stump was arrested on warrant charg-
ing him with the theft of a bicycle from
r. w. Anderson. He has been in Jail for
some time and claims that as the war
rant was issued by Justice Morrison, sit
ting as police judge, his arrest was illegal

animation Of the place. The two carcasses
were examined and Talamantes at once
pronounced the carcass Of what was said
to be- . calf to be that Of a colt. This Cat
terrer denied and stated that he had pur-
chased both animals from a dairyman
named Handorf in Eagle Rock canyon. Not
satisfied with this explanation Detective
Flammer and Patrolman Talamantes took
the dealer to that place, where they learned
that he had purchased both colt and a
COW which had been slaughtered. They re-
turned to this city with the intention of
placing Caterer under arrest, but as
he had not offered the horse meat for sale
they could not do SO. With the dead colt
which he had intended to sell as beef was
a live colt, terribly diseased, which he had
tied in the rear of his butcher shop. This,
it Is supposed. he intended to kill later.
He had cut on the dead colts head and
hoofs and had secreted them In a barrel In
the rear Of his place. where they were
found by the oncers.
The beef that he purchased at Eagle
Rock canyon he had intended to dispose
Of elsewhere, and this meat Inspector
Hughes started to look for. He found it
in slaughter house In the southern part of
the city. where 1t had been hung up and
was being dressed. The meat was SO rot
ten that 1t was with difficulty that it was
retained on the hooks. He condemned it
as dangerous to health, and poured coal
oil over It to prevent its sale. Then he sent
for the dead animal contractor" to re-
move the carcass of the dead colt in the
rear Of Gatterrrer's place.
Earlier In the day Hughes and Detec-
tive Auble had found in house on SJew
High street. q place where another horse
had been slaughtered, but which they were
unable to find. The floor was covered with
blood and pieces Of hoofs and name but the
carcass was missing. The place was COW
cred with blood and was about as filthy as
one could imagine, but there was nothing
to connect the meat dealer with the place
except the statement that he had roomed
there. II he does room there, the colt was
slaughtered in his sleeping apartments.
In the yard were two other horses, which
had been purchased by him presumably for
slaughter. They were old, worn-out ami
mails, both of which were suffering from
numerous sores. AS Caterer had offered
none of the horse meat for sale as beef,
there was nothing for the officers to do but
to release him. but his place will hereafter
be closely watched.
The attention of the detectives was
called to the place by case which was
reported several weeks ago. A resident of
Pico Heights reported at the detectives Of
hce that his cow had been stolen while
grazing on vacant lot. The hide Of the
stolen animal had been offered for sale
at local soap factory, and the detectives
were notified. They traced the hide to Cat
terrer's shop. but he escaped arrest by
saying that he had bought the hide from,
Mexican whom he did not know. Since
then the police and detectives have had or
ders to watch him, and his being accdsted
by Patrolman Lennon was the result of
this order.
