PROSPECTS OF PEACE.

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A Sun cable
from London says: A message of
grave significance was received at the
New York Suns London office tonight
from the Suns Madrid correspondent.
The following dispatch was received by
the Suns representative here, two
hours after it was filed in Madrid
Result of conferences has not been
filed by the Government, and has en-
dangered negotiations. Sagasta's early
resignation is mooted.'
The conferences referred to in the
dispatch are consultations which have
been progressing for the past thirty
six hours between Sagasta and lead
ers of other parties and groups, includ-
ing RObledO who vehemently de-
nOunces the American terms. Inas-
much as the above message was sent
by consent, and probably at the desire
Of the Spanish Government, it may,
perhaps. be surmised that the under
lying motive of the Spanish Cabinet is
to induce the American Government
to modify some of its demands by in

Spain renders it impossible for Sa-
gasta to yield to the present terms.
NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A Sun cable

m.,. says: At a Cabinet meeting last
night the Ministers agreed upon a re
ply to the United States, accepting the
principal of the American terms with
out prejudice to the discussion of Ger
tain essential points regarding the
Philippines. They will communicate
their decision to the Queen Regent to-
day Her agreement is considered as

HAWAIIANDCANAL
One Thing Annexation
Means to United States.
Opinions of Senators Morgan and
Culom-R Representative Hit,
Commission on the Way.

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The Hawaiian
commission, composed Of Senator Col
lum of Illinois, Senator Morgan of Ala
bama and Representative Hit of Hi
nois, met here this morning and held
informal talks with a number of bust
ness men.
Senator Morgan said the annexation
of Hawaii would result in the con-
struction of the Nicaraguan canal
Cuba was free, Porto Rico belonged to
the United States, Hawaii was an
neXed and the canal was unavoidable
He was of the firm belief that in the
next century the United States would
be, by common consent, the leader of
the nations of the earth.
Senator Collum said the commission
would look at the harbOr at Hawaii
and see what ought to be done to make
it a great harbor. He said the Nicar-
aguan canal would be built.
representative Hit also spoke Of the
certainty of the Ncaraguan canal as
one of the results of the war as was a
cable to Hawaii.
The commission left this evening for
San Francisco, whence it Will sail on
August 10 for Hawaii.
Congressman Hit was accompanied
by his wife, his two sons and his Con-
gressiOnal clerk, Henry l.. Hayes, sec
retary of the commission; Senator Cul-
lOm by Mrs. Cullom, Mrs. William Bar
rett Ridgley Of Springfield, his daugh-
ter and his stenOgrapher, J. Castle
Ridgeway; Senator Morgan by his son,
George w, and a private secretary.
The remainder of the party are ID. a.
Ray, disbursing officer; Albert s. Ber-
ry of Newport, KY, sergeant-at-arms,
and NJ. w. Blumenberg, stenOgrapher.
1T is probable that as far as pOssi-
bic we will let the present laws gov
ernfng the Hawaiian Islands stand,
said Senator CuIlOm. New ones will
be needed and there may have to be
numerous changes III the old ones. One
subject that will need deep thought is
that of contract labor. Included in this
is the race and immigration questions.
4 have been in the Sandwich Islands
and am familiar with the country and
it's needs" said Senator Morgan. 4
expect that we shall be there until Oc-
tOber studying the situation. Besides
the population we will investigate the
trade relations and commerce of the
islands. but | can give no idea OF the
form of government we shall recon-
mend. The territorial organization has
been much talked of and 1T seems to
be the general opinion that the people
are not ready for statehood.

IorIty or the American.
NEW YORK, Aug. A cable to the
Sun, dated Cayite, July 80 (via Hong
kong, Aug. A., says It is believed
that the course that is being followed
by General Merritt, commander of the
American military forces here, will
avert the threatened trouble with the
insurgents.
Aguinaldo has asked the permission
Of Merritt to march his troops through
the city after the Americans have cap
tured it. He has also suggested to
Merritt the formation of native reg
iments to be commanded by American
officers.

PAID LESS THAN oNE-HALF.
Accident Company in which dr. BergoE
Held n Policy for $4,000 Gives MIA
Berger Only $4,000.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 8. - Mira
Emma Berger, widow of DIR. L. A. Ber-
ger, who was shot and killed by John
Schlegel, yesterday compromised her
suit against the Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company, to recover $4,000
on a policy written on the life Of Dr.
Berger. The company paid $4,000.
The suit was ono in which there was
much interest manifested by the law
yers and also by those who carry acct
dent insurance. The company refused
TO pay the policy on the ground that
DR.. Berger had knowledge of the
threats made against his life by John
Schlegel and should have taken steps
to protect himself, and in not doing so
had not complied with the provisions
OF the contract in the insurance. The
contention of the plaintiff was that
the murder was an accident so far as
the insured man was concerned and
came within the meaning of the word
in law

Wymore, Neb., Dec. 3.-The feeling

bitter, and should the idea be carried
out the merchants from all over the
state will boycott Omaha wholesale
and jobbing houses and transfer their
patronage to Sioux City, st. Joseph

throughout the state are proud of the
successful exposition held this year, it
has robbed the merchants of this

of thousands of dollars, and although
the country merchants are making no
complaint of the damage they sus-

To ENFORCE ths CurtIa Law.

Washington, Dec. 8.-Secretary Bliss
has directed Inspector Wright to put
in force the Curtis bill in the Creek
and Cherokee nations. All the rules
and regulations have been issued and
the matter has ouly been delayed up
to this time because it was thought
that the Creeks and Cherolees would
see the wisdom of making better terms
than the Curtis bill afforded. Under
the Curtis bill the secretary of the in
terror practically takes charge of the
property and governments of these
tribes. 1t appears to be the policy of
the government to allot the lands and
then confirm the allotments by vote
of the Indian people.
