day night dispatch to the French
embassy made it known to the EN-
bassy that the ambassador would be
charged with the important mission
OF opening peace negotiations in be-
half of Spain. The complete instruc-
tions, including an official letter from
Duke Almadover Rio. Spanish minister
of foreign affairs, were received Tues
doy morning. Thereupon NJ. THE
beaut, first secretary of the embassy,
called at the state department and
asked that an hour be appointed for a
call by Ambassador Cambon on the
president. The purpose of the call
was not stated. 1t was arranged at the
white house that the call should be
made at three o'clock. NJ Cambon
first went to the state department,
where he was joined by Secretary Day.
and the two then proceeded together
to the white house. The call lasted
about half an hour, and after the first
formalities had been executed by NJ.
Cambon, the talk became general and
quite formal, the president, the am
ibassador and the secretary of state
discussing the outlook for conclu-
sion of hostilities.
Suggests No Terms
Z The proposition submitted by the
ambassador acting for the Spanish
government was quite general in
terms and was confined to the one es-
sential point of an earnest plea that
negotiations be opened for the pur-
pose of terminating the war and ar
irving at terms of peace. The com
munication of the Spanish government
did not suggest any specific terms of
peace, nor was any reference made to
Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico or
other Spanish possessions. The evil
dent purpose of the Madrid authorities
was to first learn whether the United
States would treat on the subject OF
peace, and after that to take up such
terms as the two parties might sug-
gest. Neither was there any sugges-
ton from the Spanish government
that an armistice be established pend
ing the peace negotiations. 1t seemed
natural, however, from the PROPOSE
tion that formal peace negotiations be
entered upon and that pending their
conclusion cessation of hostilities
would occur.
Owing to the Importance of the
communication the ambassador
adopted the usual diplomatic proce.
,dure of reading the communication
from the original, in French, the
translation being submitted by NJ,
Thiebeaut. In the conversation which
followed the reading of their propo'
sition neither the president nor the
ambassador entered upon the question
OF the terms of peace The instruc-
lions of the ambassador had confined
him to the one essential point of
opening peace negotiations, and it was
evident that the president desired to
consider the proposition at this mo-
ment before giving any definite reply.
Il was finally determined that the
president would consult the members
Ct his cabinet concerning the PROPOSE
tion, and after. decision had been ar

the matter in charge. Secretary Alger
| again stated when he left the white
house that there would be no change
In the plans of campaign and the war
would go forward with yigor.
EXcitcs iscep Interest.
SPANS peace proposal excited the
deepest interest throughout Washing
ton, and for the time being, war news
gave way to animated discussion of the
prospects for peace. This was par
ticularly true in diplomatic circles.
The move of the French Ambassador
took the other members of the corps
completely by surprise, as they had
well known among themselves that all
peace talk UP to this time had been
fanciful, and they had no reason to
expect that move would take definite
shape so quickly. Several of the for
eign representatives made inquiries of
the state department. as to the meaning
| of the French ambassadors call, and
| learning that he had presented Spain's
proposition for peace, full reports
were cabled to the foreign offices. The
| matter was considered of such moment
that the cable report to one of the for
eign offices cost several hundred dol
lars.
British Press Comment.
London, July 27-The Times, in an
editorial applauding Spain for accept
ing the inevitable, advises her to face
the facts of the political situation with
the same frank courage which secured
the respect of the Americans OH the
battlefield" Discussing the probable
terms of peace, the Times says:
1.-THE United States will probably take
Puerto Rico in lieu of money indemnity
and 1t would be best for the world at large
II America boldly undertook the burden
of giving Cuba and the Philippines n
strong, honest government through Amer
lean officials Ii Spain is permitted to re-
assume sovereignty over the Philippines
she Will have to engage in a war of con-
quest, which might be attended with Sc
rious consequences to America and other
international interests in the Pacific"
Can't Pay an Indemnity.
The London morning papers agree
that it will be impossible for Spain to
pay indemnity and that it is improb=
able that the United States will de-
mand money compensation. They all
concede that the Spanish flag has gone
forever from Cuba and Puerto Rico.
The question of the future of the Phil
ippine islands is universally admitted
as presenting grave difficulties, owing
to the impossibility of granting indie
pendence. The general opinion is that
the United States will retain a coaling
station and have a reversion in the is
lands.
Hopes We Will Be Moderate.
The Daily Mail says: 1--WE hope Pres
ident Mckinley will be moderate. Gu
ba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines
should be ample compensation with
out indemnity"
The Daily Chronicle thinks that some
kind of international protectorate
over the Philippines should be ar
ranged.
Want Arbitration.
Madrid, July 2T.-The city is flooded
with dodgers advocating that the
peace negotiations be submitted to
arbitration, seeing that neither Spain
nor the United States is willing to
take the initiative" and adding that
Cuba unjust belong either to Spain or
to America, as it's independence would
be tantamount TO anarchy"

Pana, III, July 27.-There has been
a decided change in the mining situa-
ton which points to victory for the
union miners. Monday night the Pana
and Penwell companies surrendered
all hope of operating their mines with
nonunion labor, and Tuesday their
whistles were silent. The Pana COM
pany removed it's mules from the mine
Monday night and says it will shut
down. If it does not soon begin opera
tons it will stand no chance for win

Washington, July 27.-The Spanish
government has sued for peace, not
indirectly through the great powers OF
Europe, but by Ii direct appeal to Presi
dent Mckinley. The proposition was
formally submitted to the president
Mt three o'clock Tuesday afternoon
by the French ambassador, NJ. Jules
Cambon, who had received instruc-
tions from the foreign Office at Paris
to deliver. to the government the ten
der of peace formulated by the Span
ish ministry. AT the conclusion of the
conference between the president and
the French ambassador, the following
official statement was issued from the
white house:
THE French ambassador on behalf of
the government of Spain and by direction
of the Spanish minister of foreign af-
fairs. presented to the president this at
ternoon at the white house message from
the Spanish government looking TO the
termination of the war, and the settlement
of terms of peace"
The First Overture.
4 This was the only official statement
made public, but it sufficed to put at
rest all conjecture, and to make clear
and definite that at last Spain had
taken the initiative toward peace. AL
though peace rumors have been cur
rent almost daily heretofore since
the war began not one of them had the
shadow of foundation, and until the
French ambassador received instruc-
lions from Paris. last Monday night,
no overtures of any kind had been re.
Ieived. Shortly before midnight Mon.
