OVERIURES Of PEACE.
CONTINUED from First Page.>

Cuba, with the provision that the island
shall be absolved from responsibility for
any debt heretofore charged against it by
Spain. The last clause, it was expected,
would cause some friction, inasmuch as
it was certain TO rouse to desperate re-
sistance certain European holders Of
bonds issued by Spain based ON the rev.
enues of Cuba
The second proposition was the absolute
cesson of Porto Rico TO the United States
likewise unencumbered by any liability
for any bonded Indebtedness. Il was be-
neved that Spain had practically made
up her mind TO this condition before In
shutting the overtures for peace.
Another point upon which the United
States. it was believed. would insist. was
the cession OF certain coaling stations
in the Ladrones and CarolineS, probably
Guam island IN the former and zap
island in the latter. and perhaps one
other in q different part Of the world not
yet designated These territorial conces-
sions, IT was expected, would be regarded
as sufficient by our government as COM
pensation for the expenditures made by
bAlS NOhI4Clyb Na(4louI q SpCCEaAC 0tAIdAAN
for money indemnity. The last consider
alton was the one which promised to give
more trouble than any other, namely the
settlement of the Philippines. There was
reason to believe that the president him
self had not determined how this subject
should be treated A coaling station was.
wanted there, but beyond that 1t might
be that we would not care to go. An en-
urely different attitude might have been
assumed by our government but for the
course adopted by the insurgents under
Agunaldo, which, 1t was asserted, left
the United States under no moral obli-
cation TO care for his people. The revo-
luton in the Philippines began some time
prior to the outbreak Of the war between
the United States and Spain Since the
war the insurgents have assumed a very
imperious attitude; had concluded their
military operations without rpaticular
reference to the wishes of the American
commander, Admiral Dewey; had been
generally tntractible in their relations
with our troops and sailors, and, finally
had set up an independent government
of their own, absolutely without reference
to the United States. These things, it
was held here we're quite sufficient to alb
solve our government from any RESPONSE
bility for what might happen to Aguin-
aldo in the future. though of course it
was not meant by this to assert that it
had definitely made up its mind to relin-
quish all claims to the islands beyond the
coaling stations already referred to.
Touching the question of indemnity, 1t
was stated that our government would
not be in the mood to abandon any claim
on this score if Spain. by further resist
ance, obliged it to go 10 heavy expense
in sending naval expedition to Spain
and of continuing on large scale the
military movements now under way.

SOMETHING LIKE GEORGE
Eagle First In War; First In Peace |:
First in It's Readers Hearts,

Ell Reno. o. T., July 27.--(SpeciaL Just
as the troops at Fort Reno were going
out to camp and the people had made up
their minds that the war was going to
last until next spring. along comes the
Eagle, this morning, with the first news
of Spain negotiating for peace. The St.
Louis and Kansas City papers told about
General Miles going to Porto Rico, but
the Eagle contained the news of the peace
proposals and the landing Of the generals
troops. thus knocking out the hopes of the
volunteers at Fort Reno. and the war-lke
aspirations Of thousands of FL Renoites
The Eagle, to the people of FL Reno, is
first with war news, first with peace
news. and first to let the people Of the
world know there is such beautiful city
as FL Reno.

BROOKE STARTS ON AHEAD

Washington, July 27.-As a result of the
Geographic correspondence between Cen
eral Brooge, commanding the First army
corps. at Newport News, and the officials
of the war department, General Brooke
today was authorized by Secretary Alger
to push forward with his fast ships at
once to Porto Rico. leaving the slower
transports to follow when ready. This ac-
ton was based on General Brooke's report
that the movement of his troops was be-
ing delayed by the difficulty of getting the
troop equipment aboard some Of the trans
ports. He suggested that he be allowed to
start at once with such Of the trans
ports as Were ready and Adjutant Geriear7
Corbln telegraphed him today that the
secretary OF war had approved his propo-
stion and authorized him 10 act accord

INDIAN TERRITORY MEN
Arrive at Reno and Drilling Is the
Daily Work.

FL Reno, O. T., July T.-(Special)-The
company OF volunteers from the Indian
Territory arrived at Fort Reno Monday
night. The battalion now numbers SIS
men and will go into camp east of the
post hospital before the week is out.
When 1t goes into camp it will be furnish
ed with more clothing, arms and arnmuni-
ton. Major John Stone is keeping the
men steady al drilling, and when the time
comes for them to leave Fort Reno they
will be as proficient as any body Of troops

self to the summary change in It's plans
made by General Miles when he landed at
Guanica, instead of on the onrtheast
coast of Porto Rico, as previously agreed
upon. 1t Is surmised that he was led to
make this change by reason Of the de-
tention of his lighters. and foresaw
weeks delay in effecting landing unless
he went in where he did and ran MS
troops and artillery directly achOre.
He thus has avoided exposing his troops

general has scored an important diplo-
matte advantage in setting foot upon
Porto Rican soil before the first over
lures had ben received from Spain looking
towards peace.
The departure of General Brooke and
General Hafnes from Hampton Roads,
which is expected tomorrow, to reinforce
General Miles in Porto Rico, is a very
substantial evidence of the purpose Of the
government not 10 abate the prosecution
of military operations at this stage Of the
peace negotiations The two generals
are embarked on rapid liners and should
reach General Miles by next Monday,
putting him in possession of a sufficient
force to begin the movement upon San
Juan at once.

A Philippine Heroine.

One of the Philippine insurgent leaders
is beautiful woman whose life seems to
be charmed. She has often rushed bravely
into the very teeth of death from guns
and cannon, but has never been wounded.
Frequently we see people in this country
who live so long that their lives seem
charmed also. but the only charm about it
is that they keep up their strength and
vitalize their blood with that celebrated
remedy, Hostetters Stomach Bitters.

Tn. Atlantic Zach. Club May Hold 1t. Cruise

That the Atlantic Yacht Club will hold its an
nual cruise to the eastward is almost certain.
This decision OF the amateur tars in the vicinity
Of Sea Gate is the direct result Of the increased
interest in the sport Of yachting as the season
progresses and the belief among yachtsmen
that the war with Spain will be Of short dura-
ton. Commodore Frederick T. Adams has sent
out. through Fleet Captain Watson, notices to
yacht owners asking for opinions on the ad-
visibility OF holding q cruise.
Thus far" said the Commodore TO q re-
porter Of THT I yesterday. i have received
quite q numb er Of replies. and the opinions are
unanimous in favor Of holding the cruise. For
myself. ! am thoroughly in favor OF it should
the war end soon. as We have every reason 10
expect II will. Will not order the cruise, how
ever. unless it appears 10 be the wish Of the
majority OF Yacht owners. rs II would be highly
improper and unwise for US to start without b
fairly representative feet Should We conclude
to hold il. the date will be fixed for some time
during August. which would give TO US ample
time 10 arranGe the preliminRries,"
The final decision by Commodore Adams is
awaited with considerable interest. not only by
