States by General Horace Porter, our

Spain's peace proposal excited tho
deepest Interest throughout Washington
and for the time being war news gave
way to animated discussion Of the pros-
pects for peace. This was particularly
true In diplomatic circles. The move OF
the French ambassador took the other
members Of the corps completely by
surprise as they mad well known among
themselves that all peace talk up TO this

WASHINGTON. July Ex-senator
Morgan, OF Alabama, senior Democratic
member Of the foreign relations COM
mittse of the senate, regards the peace
proposals sign of submission by
Spain.
'The power Of Spain Is broken" said
ne Tonight, "and II is pain that there
Is nothing to stop US now short OF the
spanish border.
Concerning peace, sen1tor Morgan has
clearly deifneIN ideas
any drSt proposition" he explained,
"WotiId be the complete surrender by
Spain Of all territory over which the
fiaF fioats. This would include Cuba,
Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Caro-
lines, and the Ladfones. would make
this surrender the subject OF a-separate
aud exclusive treaty. ! would demand
OF Spain O surrender unconditional In
every particular and without any ret-
erence to what we may wish to do with
the territory hereafter. would not al
row any '4f'S' nor 'ands' about II. This
treaty should be IN such terms that the
United stdteS can be free to act with
out any conditions, and It should be
the first proposition on which to base
peace"
'iAfter this treaty covering the sur
render Of domlnions and release Of po-
iltlcal prisoners has been concluded. l
would take up the matter OF war in-
demnltV. This covers several topics,
some Of which do not care to discuss
al this time. Individually, should
want to consider the matter of a coal
ing station In the Canary Islands on
the coast Of Africa. Further, l would
require guarantee from Spain that she
viii assume all responsibility for any
debts that might prove lien upon Gu
ba, or upon Porto Rico and the Philip
nlnea for that matter"

We have met the enemy and we

orado is concerned. Colorado still
clings to her idols and Thomas has
been elected governor by at least
so, 900 majority. In county affairs
the fusion ticket has been elected
by vote of two to one. The full
vote of each La Junta precinct on
county affairs is given below, and
the local republicans take conso-
lation from the fact that they have
succeeded in electing constable
and justice of the peace against
the combined opposition.
The result in the other states
throughout the union has been
overwhelmingly republican. Rose
welt is elected governor of New
York by at least 10000 majority,
and Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jer-
sey. Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa
and others are lined up in the re-
publican column.
The election passed off very
quietly in La Junta, not over two
thirds of the vote polled last year
being cast. The vote cast in the
five precincts of La Junta in 1897
was Io47, and yesterday but S53
persons exercised the great prerog-
alive of American citizenship.
