Washington, July 9S,-It can be stated
on the authority of tho state department
and foreign embassies here that there
were no ovorturcs In behalf Of Spain Tor
peace, or cessation of hostiliues until
tho French ambassador last Tuesday at
ternoon presented his note to the presi-
dent. This statement is made with the
fun knowledge OF European denials, and
must be accepted as that of the govern
ment OF the United States. Therefore,
all the talk about bad faith shown by our
government, In pressing the Porto Rican
campaign, Is absolutely without founda-
tlon.
Tho alleged charges of bad faith against
the United States attributed to Premier

methods OF the company. and suit was
brought both against the author In the
Iowa courts. and the publishers OF the
pamphlet. In Minneapolis. The company
alleged in their action that the writing OF
the pamphlet was inspired by business
rivals who purchased and circulated the
publication 10 the injury OF the complain
ants business The verdict OF the jury
confirms this contention of the complain
ants. and awards substantial damages
against the publisher OF the .ibelous doc
ument II would seem certain that The
same verdict would be reached when the
suit against the author. President Gates
comes TO trial.
Special interest attaches to this verde,
because during the late session or the
Virginia Legislature the Gates panIph,et
In question was circulated hy some parties
unknown among the members OF the
House OF Delegates and Sc ate. The CO.
clsion OF the Minneapolis jury is com
pete answer. In legal form. TO the charge

III the more Significant when II Is con-
sidered that II is jury trial In the home
OF the accused publishers OF the pamphlet
and the complainant Was large eastern
corporation. TIE use OF the pamphlet In
VIRGINIA wss Of course intended 10 in
nuence the adoption OF textbooks. which
Is now pending before the State Board Of
