SPANISH VICTORIES.
Blanco's Typewriters Are Grinding

lASn OuL.
Madrid. June 25-The Spanish YER
sion of the American operations in
Cuba, received from official sources at
Havana. says Rear Admiral Sampson
conferred during the week with the
insurgent leaders. Calixto Garcia. Rabi
and Sebreco, with the object of con-
centrating a large force of insurgents
at landing place. Sebreco met an
American vessel at Bayamo, received
1000 rifles and a quantity of ammuni-
ton and safely conveyed them TO Gar
cia's posts, accompanied by a small
force of Americans from the steam
ers. They then attempted to join Cas-
tillo at Bayurnao, but the Spaniards
prevented them. having organized
such a perfect defense between Man
zanillo and Santiago that the rebels
did not dare to risk a serious engage
ment with the Spaniards."
Continuing. the official report says
the insurgents expected the point of
Decentralization of the Americans would
be devoid of defenses." Then a singu-
lar explanation is made by the re-
treating Spaniards, who assert that
they have checked the American adj
vance on Santiago"

A FEELER FROM SPAIN
Basis of Peace Negotiations Sug-
gested at Madrid.
INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA
ALSO SURRENDER OF ISLAND OF
PORTO RICO.
Naval Station In the Philippines and
Coal Depot In the Canaries-Re-
garded at Washington AS a Pre-
liminary to Overtures-"Popular
Desire For Territorial Acquisition.

Madrid, June 25.-The Correspondent
cia of this city today publishes report
to the effect that the peace conditions
suggested by the government of the
United States include the possession by
the United States of the island of Por-
to Rico, the independence of the island
of Cuba and a protectorate OF the
United States and the establishment
of a naval station for United States
warships in the Philippine islands, and
the establishment of coal depot for
United States warships in the Canary
islands.
Washington, June 25.-The announce
ment from Madrid that the United
States had suggested peace conditions
with Spain was received here with
great interest, for the reason that the
report was regarded as a feeler. There
is no basis of fact for the report, for
at the departments it met a prompt
denial. No overtures would have come
to the department from any RESPONSE
BILE diplomat as yet looking to the con-
summation of peace. Still it is known
that some of the representatives of the
european powers, realizing the serious
inroads that are making upon Euro
pean commerce by the continuance of
hostilities, stand ready at any aus
ment as to what conditions might
serve as a basis of negotia tons for a
brief period.
These diplomats would naturally
closely watch the effect upon the peo-
pie of the United States of such a ru-
NOR as this, coming from Madrid. and
if the general sentiment seems to in
cline to the acceptance of some such
conditions, they would be quick to adj
wise their governments, in the expecta-
ton OF receiving instructions TO ap-
proach the government of the United
States on the subject.
The terms suggested from Madrid
seem calculated to tempt that element
in the United States which, realizing
the impotence of attempting to re-
strain altogether the popular desire for
territorial acquisition, seeks to confine
it within the lowest reasonable limits.
The conditions are such as naturally
might suggest themselves to the Span
ish elements most inclined for peace as a
proper basis for negotiation, although it
cannot be expected that they would in
italy completely meet the demands of
the United States

Denver, Colo, June 25.-The compli-
mentary trip around The Loop" given
today by the Denver women to the
club women of the general federation
was success. Fully 1900 excursion
lists were taken in seven special trains
to Idaho Springs, where a luncheon
was served by The $50 club women in
this mountain village. After luncheon
speeches were made by Mrs. Alice Ives
Breed of Boston, Mrs. Edward Long
streth of Philadelphia and Mrs. Charles
Henrotin of Chicago. This was fol-
lowed by free rides in mountain wag-
ons around the town. The trains pro-
ceeded TO Silver Plume returning in
the evening with the happy crowd.
AS a part of this so-called Colorado
day" Of the federation, the stay-at-
homes held meeting, under the
auspices of the George Washington
Memorial association, the objects of
which were presented by Mrs. Ellen
Richardson of Boston. The evening
programme in the Broadway theatre
proved popular under the direction of
Mrs. Philip Moore of st. Louis. with
Miss Isabel Hill as local assistant
chairman. 1t was distinctively musical,
with talks on Melodies Of the North
by Misses Muldoon and Dillingham; of
Louisville, which were illustrated by
Miss Villa Whitney White of Chicago.

The seaffolding had been erected for

pairing to erect a derrick TO hoist some
beams and posts, and the bricklayerS
had left the scaffolding and were
standing on the wall, which no doubt
saved their lives. Suddenly the scat

down through the intervening floors,
striking on one of the arched floor
beams on the way and bending it, They
landed in heap in the cellar. Albert's
neck was broken. Cunninghams skull
was fractured, and he lived but a few

MILLIONS OF IDLE CAPITAL
CASH STILL ACCUMULATING AT
NEW YORK.
Payments For War Bonds Will Re
duce the Enormous Surplus-New
York Exchange Higher.

New York, June 25.-The weekly bank
statement shows the following changes:
Surplus reserve, increase $685. 50;
loans, increase, S2.2s2600; specie, in
crease, 81 POP, 400; legal tender, increase,
So, 274 800; deposits, inceraSe, $S,I1,4OO;
circulation, decrease. $4,000.
The banks now hold S62, ,250 in ex-
cess of the requirements of the 70 per
cent rule.
The F'inancier says: With surplus
leserve exceeding $50. 100000, and with
deposits increasing three times as rap
IDLY as loans, it cannot be said that the
New York market is in position TO
favor the moderate advance which was
looked for after definite arra2gemeats
had been made for the new government
lean. The banks. according to their
statements Saturday, gained S4,o16,S0O
in cash, while their loans eXparded only
81, 262, geo.
The increase in deposits of s6,571, 400,
in view of these two changes, is about
normal. AS payments of small sub
scriptions of bonds are contaminated,
the domestic exchange situation may
be expected to show material advances.
Banks at important middle and western
cer-ters in their correspondence already
reported that the loan subscriptions
seem to BE- creating a scarcity of New
York exchange, and rates are going
higher in consequence. The policy OF
the treasury in collecting as fast as
Lossible remittances for cash SubScrip-
lions is reflected in smaller debtor bal
arces, but the amounts gathered Into
the treasury are not yet large enough
tc offset extraordinary payments due
to war expenses. The result is that the
banks are gaining, not only from the
interior movement, bat from the treas
ury as we'll This accounts in large
part for the continued accumulation of
idle capital at this center. 1t is not
probable, however, that this will con-
tinue much longer. AS the date for the
closing of the loan approaches, the
banks are bound to lose an appreciate
proportion of their excess reserve. but
indications point to merely temper
airy disturbance of small consequence in
the situation. The July dividend pay
ments, aggregating between eighty
and one hundred millions in this city.
doubtless have caused some of the
changes for the week, but these will be
reflected to a greater extent during the
next ten days. The low rates prevail
ing in the money markets are tempting
mercantile borrowers to supply their
needs, and great deal of expansion in
loans can be traced TO this source.
