NO MOVE YET.
President Mckinley Hopes For an Early
Peace Now, but No Overtures
Have Been Made.

Washington, July 16. There have
been no overtures for peace received
by any United States embassy or Legal
ton abroad or by the department Of
state at Washington" That was the
statement made by member Of the
cabinet who is thoroughly familiar
with the situation. This statement was
called forth by various reports that
ranged all the way from an announce
ment that the basis for a treaty Of
peace already had been reached to the
more guarded declaration that the
Spanish government had conveyed in
an unofficial manner to the United
States government an intimation of
some Of the concessions it was prepared
to make to secure peace.
The prospects for the speedy institu.
ton of peace negotiations have bright
ened decidedly since the collapse Of the
Spanish resistance at Santiago. The
moral effect of that victory for the
American arms is beginning to be felt
in the direction of peace.
President Mckinley gave expression
today to strong hope for an early
peace. Responding to congratulations
on the success, Of the Santiago CAM
paign, he said, II hope for early peace
now" In the course Of other interviews
he gave voice to the same sentiment,
not expressing his entire belief, but
strong hope, that peace would come.

peace, UP to this moment the fact has
not been diyuigsd BY any responsible

Up to the present time there seems to
be no opposition to the candidacy of
Thomas Cheney of Morrisville for clerk
of the House at the coming session. He
is bright young lawyer, led his class
when admitted to the supreme court
three years ago, and in spite OF the
slurs made by the dumping jack who
makes faint bluff at running an al
legged newspaper at Burlington, will
be the winner of the position, unless
present indications fail. The members
of the State Legislature do not take their
opinions as TO the ability of candidates
from the saloon councils but from the
wishes of the people and the ability OF
the applicants.

Washington VIII Not Make Any Protest
to Berlin. "a
Washington, July 1.-THE fact that
our government has been engaged in a
vigorous correspondence with the Ger
man government through the medium
of ambassador White has given rise to
the assumption that the state depart
ment has been making representations
to Germany on the subject OF the con-
duct of the German naval commanders
In the Philippines This, however, Is err
roneous, the correspondence IN question
relating to that old and troublesome H.
sue, the exclusion DEGREES OF the Ger
man government directed against Unit
ed States hog products.
1t appears that acting upon very scant
evidence, as 1t was regarded by our offi-
cials, the German customs officers have
denied the admission into Germany to
a very large and valuable consignment
of boned ham from a Chicago packing
establishment Of the highest reputation.
The matter has been placed In the hands
of ambassador White to deal WITH he
being thoroughly familiar with all of
the aspects Of the meat exclusion de-
crees.
The attitude assumed by the German
naval commanders In the Philippines Is
without doubt source Of annoyance
and apprehension to our government.
The spirit of quibbling. as between the
insurgents and the American forces In
the Philippines, attributed to the Ger
man government by its own papers is
far from satisfactory to a government
like ours accustomed to dea fairly
frankly and openly in international Is
sues instead of adopting underhand
courses.
Still our government IS satisfied that
its interests are safe in the hands OF
Admiral Dewey and Is adhering to its
original intention of allowing him free
hand to deal with the situation. Unit!
he himself asks for action on the part
of the government it is not the purpose
to make any representations on the
subject of the Philippines to the Ger.

MORE PRISONERS ARRIVE.
Tho Harvard at Portsmouth With Over a
Thousand spaniartss.

The Harvard at Portsmouth with Over q
Thousand sbaniards.
Portsmouth, N. H., July 1.-THE Unit
ed States auxiliary cruiser Harvard, in
command of Captain Charles F. Cotton,
from Santiago de Cuba. having on board
1908 Spanish prisoners, has arrived
here. The port physician boarded the
vessel and in company with the Spanish
doctor made an inspection. His visit
disclosed the fact that nearly half of
those on board are Ill. Six Spaniards
died on the passage from Santiago to
Portsmouth, another death occurred
this forenoon after the cruiser reached
this port and three patients were not
expected to live until night. There were
40 serious cases in the sick bay and 40
equally as bad in other portions Of the
ship.
All these patients are said to be VIC
Tins of malapal fever with which dis
ease also those who died were affected.
These facts have been reported to the
authorities at the navy yard, and the
four physicians there will make fur
Their inspection Of the vessel and de-
termine whether or not she shall be
sent to quarantine. Owing to these
conditions nothing has been done in the
line Of preparations for landing the
troops.
The Harvard left Santiago Sunday at 1
p. m. and made fair progress. For
some time before that she had been re-
ceiving the prisoners as they were sent
to the rear by the land forces Of the
United States. There was an impress
IL not ha Ia ov.S h.l,.
ing more Of the Spaniards captured in
the battle in which the fleet Of Admiral
Cervera was destroyed. some 100 of
whom are now prisoners on Seavey's
island, having been landed there from
the cruiser st. Louis.
It was learned soon after the Harvard
reached here that this was not the case,
but that nearly all on board were CAPS
lured in skirmishes which occurred soon
after the American troops landed in
Cuba and continued as they advanced
toward Santiago. Some Of them were
the remnant Of the force upon which the
rough riders charged with such terrible
destruction to both sides on their march
from Siboney, but the majority were
laborers and other attaches of the Span
lsh troops who were ragged In the con-
| struction Of the trenches and other
works Of defense before Santiago.
The details Of the mutiny on the
Harvard during the trip have been
learned. The prisoners were at mess
under the usual guard. The officers of
the ship were all forward at the time.
The cause Of the trouble did not appear,
but without warning the Spaniards
madesa rush upon the guard The off,
rer in command without hesitating an
instant gave the command to fire.
Nearly score Of the rioters fell. six of
them having been killed. Twelve were
wounded, but none of them 80 seriously
that death Is likely to follow. The vol
ley was effective, and the prisoners were
soon subdued. They made no further
trouble.

Washington, July 1.-the cabinet ao-
journed without knowledge OF the oe-
tails OF the terms of surrender wnich
were to be made at Santiago Dy the
commissioners referred to by deherai
Shafter in his dispatch Of yesterday
Nothing further has been received from
the general on this subject, ana the as
sumption Is that the commissioners are
still at work endeavoring to arrange
the details of the surrender.
These are likely to be more complex
than are generally supposed for ASIDE
from matters Of actual moment, such as
the methods Of transportation, the car
riage OF arms by troops. and the trans
portation of the surrendered spanish
officers. there are many smaller matters
to be attended to, some Of them grow
ing out of the fantastic Spanish notions
of honor which are quite as troublesome
to deal with as matters Of vital impor-
lance.
All that Is known 30 far is that 10000
Spaniards are prisoners by the surren-
der
Many inquiries are coming to the war
department as to the condition OF the
sick and wounded American soldiers
near Santiago. The appearance OF yell
low fever among the troops was an ad-
ditional cause Of apprehension and
doubled the number Of queries The
war department does not deem 1t pru-
dent Just now to make any detailed
statement relative to the conditions in
the camp, but Adjutant General Corbin
stated that he could say that 30 far az
the yellow fever was concerned the con-
ditions at last report were certainly
better than they were two days ago.
The war department during the day
posted dispatch from Assistant Ad-
jutant General Greenleaf OF General
Miles staff. as follows:
"Siboney, July 15.-Only 70 new cases

ported within the past "a hours. Type
