TO SUE FOR PEACE.
President Mckinley Anticipating nm
Early Cessation Of HOstilities.

Madrid. JulylT-The Official Gazette
this morning publishes a royal decree,
temporarily suspending throughout the
Spanish Peninsula the rights of indlvld-
ualS as guaranteed by the constitution.
The decree adds that the government
will render an account to parliament
of the use it may make of this meas
ure.
The publication of the decree is gen.
orally accepted as being convincing
proof that Spain is now ready TO sue
for peace, and that negotiations TO that
end are now virtually in progress. The
government wishes to have full power
to suppress any evidence Of discomfort
or rebellion which might appear The
CarlstS are furious. and are sure 10

One minister expressed the opinion
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday, and there is rea-
son to believe France has offered her
services to Spain, and that Spain has
drawn up conditions for peace when
offers a basis for negotiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying
that Spain wants peace, but that lit
must be an honorable peace as Spain
deserves" The army, the premier Is
said to have added, lis anxious to re-
sist to the last: but the government
cannot consent to such a useless sac

In special from Washington says:
Independence for Cuba.
The transfer of Puerto Rico to the
United States in exchange for the
Philippines.
A coaling station in the latter islands
for the United States.
Spain is willing TO make these con-
cessions to obtain peace, according to
dispatch received by President Mckin-
ley from a semi-official sources. Ad-
ministration officials with whom |
talked after they had learned of the
contents of the dispatch. Informed me
that an official proposition embracing
these terms would be accepted by the
United States. Thus. if President Nc
Kinley's informant is correct, peace In
the near future is an absolute GER
tainty. His dispatch stated that the
ministry at meeting to-day had de-
finitely determined to abandon the
struggle and had decided to sue for
peace on the terms set forth.
In some circles ! find a disposition 70
accept the information as entirely
trustworthy, while in others there is
some doubt. There seems to be a gem
eral impression among administration
officials, however, that the prospect Of
the commencement of negotiations for
the cessation of war is extremely
bright. This impression is primarily
based upon the action of Gen. oral, aft
er consultation with Madrid, in sur
| rendering the city of Santiago de Cuba
and the troops under his command.
Secondarily. il is based upon the re-
ports received from Madrid showing
| that the people are becoming convinced
of the uScleSSneSs of continuing the
struggle, and that pressure is being
| eXerted in the interest of pace by the
Vatican and by at least one European
power.
1t can't he stated on authority that
| no representation has yet been made
| TO this government, either from its
agents abroad or from foreign repre-
sentatives in Washington, respecting
| its attitude upon the question or the

cept. There is no doubt of the inten-
ton Of the president to push the cam
paign against Puerto Rico and to dis
patch the Eastern squadron to operate
against Spain. provided the Madrid
| government should not be satisfied
| with the mauling ii has been given.
Mr.. Mckinley would. however, much

Fearful Condition of Things on
hoard the Cruiser Harvard.

Portsmouth, \. H., July II. - The
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, having on
board 1,OOS Spnish prisoners, arrived
in Portsmouth harbor. The port ply
stefan boarded the vessel and, in COM
pany with the Spanish doctor, made an
investigation.
The investigation disclosed the fact
that nearly half on board are i'll. Sin
Spaniards died on the passage from
Santiago to Portsmouth, another
death occurred this forenoon and three
patients were not expected to live
until night There were forty serious
cases in the sick bay and forty equally
rs bad in other portions Of the ship.
All these patients are said to be vic
tins of malarial fever, with which dis
ease those who died were effected.
Physicians will make further inspec-
ton of the vessel and determine
whether or not she shall be sent to
quarantine. Owing to these conditions
nothing has been done in the line or
preparation for landing the prisoners.

"Germnny StiII Preserves Her Neu-
trnIity Toward Spninv


Berlin, July 16. - The Cologne Zei-
tung denounces the story of the Ger
man warship Irene interfering at SUI
big bay, Philippines, as fabrication.
The Lokal AnZieger says the Ameri-
cans are professionally excited about
the Irene incident, adding:
Even If it occurred as Admiral
Dewey says, the Irene did not inter-
fere, but retired upon the arrival of
the Americans. Therefore, every
courtesy was shown that the Ameri-
cans demand of a neutral country
But if the Irene did hinder Aguinaldo's
landing it is no business Of Dewey's.
If the American admiral sees fit to
make common cause with insurgent
chiefs it is none of our affair. Ger
many still preserves her neutrality to-
ward Spain, and does not recognize,
nor intend to recognize, Aguinaldo and
his horde as belligerents. The matter
is so plain that we do not believe any
diplomatic step will be taken, and do
not doubt for n moment that the
American officials will admit the cor
rectness of the German proceedings"
The foregoing is believed 10 be in
Spired.

sion of the constitutional guarantees
is symptom of the distracted condi-
ton of Spain. The nation wants

Spain cannot continue to struggle, yet
peace will be the signal for revolution
and the European intervention form
erly desired is now dreaded.

Playa del Este, July 16.-A French

harbor about dusk without permission
and met with a surprise party. The
cruiser Marblehead fired blank shot

FOUNDER was sent across her bows.
This, too, was disregarded, the gun
boat coming along under full steam.
For a few minutes It looked as il Il
row was possible. The trumpets on
the Marblehead rang out a call to
quarters and another shot was sent
across the French boats bows, this
time in uncomfortable proximity. That
warning was sufficient, however, and
the Frenchman stopped with extreme
suddenneSs.

Washington, July 16.-The first chap
ter in the land campaign of the Unit
ell States against Spain closed yester-
day when the Spanish cOlors gave
place over Santiago TO the American
flag. Next will follow the transporta-
tion of the Spanish troops back to
their native land and the capture OF
the island of Puerto Rico unless peace
soon intervenes The siege of Santi-
ago had lasted two weeks and was re-
markable in many respects, and in
none more than the heavy percentage
of loss through death, wounds or sick
ness of the soldiers and sailors en-
gagged on both sides. Looking back
over the record of those two weeks 1T
is seen that n great ironclad squadron
has been destroyed, that nearly q
thousand Spanish sailors have been
drowned or killed by shell and flame.
ana that an untold number of Spanish
soldiers have died in the trenches OF
Santiago. On the other hand about
$50 American soldiers have been killed
and, in round numbers, 1000 more
have been sent to hospitals from
wounds, fevers and other ailments.
Our fleet had remarkable

Next Is Puerto Rico" said Secretary

ago's formal surrender, land then, If
need be. Havana" The secretary said
that the Puerto Rican expedition
would go forward Immediately. IL
Will comprise new men entirely. The
warriors in the trenches before Santi-
ago have distinguished themselves and
ii is not deemed prudent TO bring them
in unnecessary contact with new trops
in view of the danger Of spreading
contagion. The sick soldiers will be
nursed back To health and brought to
| the United States as soon as they can
! be safely removed. Immune regi-
! lnents will be ordered to Santiago to
| garrison the town. Two of these regi-
| ments are already under orders TO pro-
| coed.
The Puerto Rican Expedition.
The Puerto Rican expedition will be
commanded by Gen. Miles, though
Gen Brooke, now in command at
Camp Thomas, is expected to be his
main dependence. The size of the ex-
petition will depend upon Gen. Miles
wishes, although it is believed that
$4,000 men will be sufficient for the
purpose. At San Juan the navy will
be Of greater assistance than it was at
] Santiago, owing to the possibility OF
J approaching the town more closely
| without risking contact with mines.
Gen. Brooke is now on his way to
Washington by direction Of Secretary
Alger so that he will be in position
to make his views known to the de-
partment The experience gained in
d.spatching Skaters expedition will,
| it is expected, aid the officials in their
determination to make short work OF
the Puerto Rican affair. There will be
plenty of transports available for the
expedition, as the government has de-
| vised other means Of removing them
on these transports. The territory sur
| rendered to us by Gen. Toral makes
| about 5000 square miles. The Span
| ish soldiers TO be sent to Spain are
estimated mt 10000 men.
