The San Francisco call., 1898-07-27

NEW YORK, July 26.-The Herald's Washington core spondent sends the following: Spain has sued for peace. Ap- preciating the futility of indirect methods of inducing the Ameri- cans to consent to terms of peace, the Madrid authorities have come out openly, frankly admitting their defeat and direct ly asking the United States for statement of terms upon which 1t would be willing to end the war. This important and deli cate mission was intrusted to M. Gambony tllez French En1bassa- dor, the official representative of Spain in Washington since the beginning of the war. Embassa- dor Cambon, accompanied by M. l Ihlebaut, first secretary of the French Embassy, called at the White House shortly after 3 o'clock and formally presented President Mckinley a message from the Spanish Government, the purport of which was subse- quently officially announced by the Ambassador in these words: e The French Embassa- q n dor,on behalfoF the Gov 1 q ernment Of Spain, and . 2 by direction or fthe Span 2 . ish Minister Of Foreign o q Affairs, presented to the . 1 President this afternoon x x . a message from the . = SpaniS h Government 9 . looking to the termina- . 2 ton Of the war and the 2 H settlement of the terms 0 q Of peace.

A Cabinet officer who learned all the details of what passed between President Mckinley, Secretary Day and his distinguished callers described them to me tonight The message which he presented to the President had been sent In cipher by the Madrid Government to the French embassy via Paris. AS soon as the message reached the Ambassador 1t was translated and a note was drawn up in English.

GERMANY TO RAISE
 A CLAIM AT MANILA

LONDON, July 26.-The Berlin corre- spondent of the Times says: The Cologne Gazette, in an article evidently inspired, says it would be difficult to claim com pensation for the loss of German firms at Manila, because, though Spain is off, cially mistress of the Philippines, she has no voice there, but when a settled Government has been provided for the islands, then Germany will raise a claim. The Gazette says, also, that Germany has a: fleet at Manila for no other purpose than to protect German interests while anarchy reigns.

Foes of Shins

In the old days of wooden ships the BORING
insects which live in wood were their ohie<
foes. Teakwood acquired it's reputation as 4
shipbuilding material because of its supposed
immunity from these vermin. Steel ships
suffer from barnacles, which foul their bot
toms much more rapidly than they do woodea

Inquiry has frequently been made as
to whether the late war would not pre-
vent q naval officer from being sta
toned at the Linsly Institute. Prin-
cipal John N. Birch has been assured
BY the authorities at Washington that
such an Officer will shortly be assigned
to his school. so this departm ent will
continue to be one Of the most desir-
able features OF the Institute course.
The appearance of the cadets, COM
manded by United States officers, has
always been favorabiy commented up
on by the public as well as by the press
Former Linsly cadets who enlisted dur
ing the late war, relate with pride that
the drilling of regular troops is In no
way superior TO that of the Lsnsly
boys But the advantages resulting
from military training are beyond
mere display and consist not alone IN
proficiency in the manual and precision
in executing difficult manoeuvres. The
upright bearing of the cadet, prompt
obedience to commands issued by SUI
periors, and neatness OF person are OF
inestinfable value TO the American
youth. The Linsly occupies sphere
CT its own and the people of Wheeling
recognize this fact, as their liberal pat
ronage has proven.

TouRNAnfENT NOTES.

The prize for the best dressed team
IN the street demonstration OF THUS
day (S10), was awarded to the J. T.
Jones hose company, Of Sisterssille.
AS previously mentioned. they were
attired In buff cciored inceNyAlbert
coats, gold braided buff colored trous-
ers and wore blue regulation caps.
There were o great many people from
Martins Ferry in the city yesterday.
having been attracted by the assocla-
ton race, in which the Martins Ferry
department contested.
Six extra policemen, sworn IN by
Mayor Freese, served during the tour
nament. Their duties We're discharged
to the perfect satisfaction OF all,
though. there was but little need Tor
their services, owing to the orderly
way in which citizens and visitors gen.
orally conducted themselves.
The Chemical company No. l, of the
First ward, which was barred from the
hub-and-hub race yesterday afternoon,
issues a challenge to run any team In
the city at any time for $50 side A..
F. Marx, captain OF the team, IN an
interview yesterday N regard TO the
accusation against them as TO eX-
members of his company performing
in Fridays races, made denial CT the
charge and stated that he furnished ex-
ceilent proof in substantiation thereon.
The Chemical boys are composed Oh
good running material and are per-
fectly capable Of hustling any team IN
the contest for speed.
The participants in yesterday races
suffered equally as much as on the
previous day from the excessive heat.
However, no prCstrations occurred on
either day, which is saying a good deal
in commentator of tue carefulness CT
the sprinters in their preparations Tor
the contest.
There was considerable wrangllng
among the firemen when the fact be-
came known that Sistersvilie had been
barred from the association lace. The
wisest plan was finally adopted, the
abiding by the decision Of tn" officials,
who acted perfectly in accordance with
the association rules.
The Martins Ferry boys take short
and speedy steps, while the Toronto
lads depend upon the swiftness or
long and con5e quently slower strides.
Both teams won general admiration by
their ways CT sprinting. Each team
moved with ease and agility.
The police force were kept constant
ly busy keeping the course of the
racers clear. The sidewalks along
Union street during the association
race, and Belmont street during the
hub- and-hub race were literally packed
with people.
The bicycle race which was schedul-
ed to be run yesterday afternoon, was

NEW BICYCLE BAGGAGE CAR.

holders along each side of the car, while
regular rows of hooks attached to the
ceiling of the car hold an equal num-
ber of wheels in suspension there as are
held in upright position along the sides.
In this manner 144 bicycles are con-
veniently and safely slowed in the car,
which is a short one, being but 40 feet
in length. No part of the wheels touch
es wall or ceiling but the tires, and each
wheel is held so firmly that sudden
stops or starts cannot dislodge or bump
il against another. A passageway is left
in the center of the car for use of the
baggage men.
The new car was put into Use for the
first time the other day. Six more cars
are being similarly equipped for use on
