SENATOR STEWART has Introduced

SENATOR STEWART has Introduced
the following resolutiop in Congress,
which is the iniatory step towards
abolishing the upsust system OF let
ting star mat routes to nonresident
contractors:
Reaolyed. That the Postmaster
General be directed to inform the
Senate what was the aggregate
amount of money expended during
the calendar year. for carrying the
mails by the use of horse or other
animals over what are commonly
known as star routes. how much OF
the money so expended was paid to
the sub-contractor. Also whether
any original contractors obtained
more than one contract which he
sub-contracted II so, give the name
and number of contracts which each
person received and sublet, and the
amount that he received from the de-
partment over aud above what was
paid to the sub contractor.
This is q step in the right direc-
tion, aud it is to be hoped that Sena-
tor Stewart will pursue his inquiry
until the pernicious practice OF sub.
letting our mail contracts to non'res-
idents Is abolished.

BLANCO IS ISOLATED.
He Can Send Messages TO Spain
Now Only by Way Of Key
West,

A dispatch from Washington
under date Of July 81, says:
Two days ago Gen raj \. w.
Greeley. chief signal officer,
cabled instructions to his officers
in Santiago to seal up and place
a guard over the three cables
connecting Santiago with Cien>
fuegos, whence by land line,
communication is established
with havana. Today General
Greeley was informed that his
orders had been carried into eff,
feet
The closing of the Cienfuegos
cables absolutely isoiates Hav~
ana and General Blaneo from
Madrid. Blanco's only means
of communication with the
Madrid governments now is by
the Key West cable, which is
under the strictest censorship OF
the United States.
As a result Of the sealing
of the Santiago CienfuegOs
cables, several ci pher dis
patches passing between
RIanco and the Spanish govern
ment drifted into this country
today. 1t is scarcely necessary
to say that they did not reach
their destination.

CARS FILL THE YARDS.
Six Thousand Troops Can Be
Handled at Once From Chick
amauga.

The Southern and the West
ern and Atlantic railroad officials
received orders today to provide
cars for removing as many as six
thousand troops at once, and to-
night the sidetracks just outside
the switchyards of both yards
are filed with Pullman passenger
coaches, ready to be rushed to
Ridgold and Rossville, points of
EN- bark alton, at a moments nos
tice. While this order indicates
a speedy movement no official
notification for any regiments to
proceed to Chasleston reached
the park tonight and, in fact,
none is expected until General
Brooke's arrival.

Ever since the war began Col.
FL: Perkins Ananias has been
giving out figures from the War

Carolina. This last is too much.
1t is not true. North Carolina
lacks less than eighty men of
making up its quota. If these

ernment has drawn up a mes-
sage addressed to the Governs
ment at Washington proposing
an Armistice for peace. The
purpose of discussing terms upon
which peace with the United
States can be arranged.
- Madrid, July Is. Prominent
officials stated todly that the
quarrel between the United
States and Spain is much easier
of adjustment than is generally
believed, and says the queen en~
deared to avoid war and desires
honorable peace also that the
present government will not
initiate peace but a modified
Cabinet headed by Gamazo will
conclude negotiations and then
retire. Will reorsanize the
country. Everybody here cons
siders that Spain should treat
directly with the United States.
