tinued to cannonade the blazing gun
boats. One gunboat, which seemed to
have nothing more venturesome to un-
dertake, detached itself from the squad
ron and set 10 work to riddle the mail
steamer Isla de Minanao. Now that the
ships were in flames, the Admiral Senor
Montojo, who had shown his flag as long
as there was a vessel af1oat. landed, and
hostilities ceased. The only Spanish ship
which had not been destroyed by fire or
by the enemies projectiles sunk herself
SO she could in no wise be taken. Such in
broad outlines, which we cannot correct
at this moment, was the naval battle of
Cavite. in which the last glimpse of our
squadron showed the Spanish flag. A
thousand sensational details have reached
us, which We would reproduce gladly, af-

would serve for anything except to sing
the glory of these martyrs of the ma

to sketch of the grand picture which

COULDN'T REACH THE BODIES
Rescuing Party Able to Go Only Part
Way Into the Water Tunnel
at Cleveland.

Cleveland, o., July 15.-While work
is being pushed forward as rapidly as
possible toward reaching the scene of
Monday nights explosion, there seems
to be little, If any, prospect that any
Of the II workmen who were In the
tunnel when the accident occurred,
will be found alive.
Repeated attempts We're made
throughout the day by rescuing par
ties to reach the scene of the explo-
sion in the tunnel, but in every case
they We're driven back almost over
come by the suffocating smoke and
gas. Fully 5000 people have surround
ed the mouth of the tunnel all day,
among whom are many relatives of the
victims of the disaster. It is now be.
lieved that the spot where the accident
occurred cannot be reached for many
hours, perhaps days, and there is not
one chance in :, thousand that any OF
the men will be found alive. Assuming
that all the men are dead, 20 lives have
been lost since the tunnel was started

PEACE NOT SOUGHT.
Denial from Washington That Over
lures Have Been Made.
SPAIN MUST MAKE FIRST MOVE.
1t Is Said She VIII Only Agree to the
Loss of Cuba, Preferring to Fight
to the Bitter End to Yielding
Further Concessions.

Washington, July 1s.-Although the
statement has been repeated day after
day that no overtures have yet been
made to our government for peace 1t
may bear repetition once more in view
of the express denial given at the
state department to SO much of the
stories emanating from European
sources as seek to create the impress
sion that the United States govern
ment or any of its representatives. SO
far has made any move in this direc-
ton. The fact is to-day as 1t has been:
the first overtures in the direction OF
peace must come from Spain, directly
or Indirectly.
snain's Terms of Peace.
Madrid, July 10. = The possibility of
peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the newspapers
and by the public. The conservative
papers declare Spain is prepared to
accept peace, provided 1T implies only
the loss OF Cuba. But, they assert,
Spain would prefer war routrance

Mr.. B. S. Wilder who is seeking

Mr.. B. S. Wilder who Is seeking
from our people franchise for an
electric light plant IS in the city labor
ing with our people in its behalf This
is but natural. He is at work for Mr..
Wilder, and while doing so,would like
toiappear as philanthropist, working
for this community, instead OF self.
In conversation with him Thursday
noon he casually remarked that the
$3.50 that the city is to pay each year
for light would not buy the fuel to
make it. And yet we have men who
tell us the difference between the
present system and the expense under
under electric lighting system will be
but $500, or Whereabouts. If this is
true, then Mr.. Wilder is here for his
health, and lot for what he can get
out OF CreSco.
But it Is not true, The cost to the
city to obtain even as good lights as
1t now has, would be at least $500,
if the the estimate for fuel is within
the mark. The taxing power of the
city would be exhausted before this
sum could be realized, and the sur
plus of debt created would have to be
provided for in the issue of bonds.
The question for the people is, will
they incur this extraordinary taxation,
and debt. Elm Street might perhaps
be better lighted than now but the
outside districts will be no better
while they will be taxed heavily to
light a street apart from their own.
1t is but justice to say that Mr..
Wilder denies an intention to bring
the discarded Cedar Falls plant to
Cresco.

Army Nurses.

We have received SO many letters OF
inquiry from women who are willing to
go to the southern army hospitals that
we answer all of them through the col
umns of the Times, as it is impossible for
us to answer individually. The women
of Des Moines and the western portion
of Iowa raised money to secure nurses to
accompany our troops to Manila, and
applied to the government for an order
for their transportation, but it was de-
MED, and the women felt very much
grieved that their generous offer had
been refused, for they had engaged two
professional lady nurses of excellent re.
pute, and the mothers whose boys were
going half way across the world to fight
our enemies felt comforted somewhat by
the thought that two good home women
nurses would care for them in time Of
sickness. Il was some time before it
came to light that the reason ourgovern.
ment refused the request was this: The
transports that carried our boys to Ma
nilla were packed five in bunk, and
only two feet between the hunks, one
above the other. The voyage was
thought to extend three weeks. It has
consumed five weeks. Officials believed
that women could not endure trip at.
tended with SO much discomfort as this
one in such crowded ship. The reason
given was a reasonable one, but really
our Gov. does not favor women nurses
for the army, as proven by the fact that
for the army hospitals recently establish
ed not woman nurse has been provided
tho scores of mon are detailed for that
purpose The Womans Relief Corps OF
Iowa has undertaken to secure nurses,
and asks all women who wish to volun-
teer as nurses to send their name, age
and references to department secretary,
Helen r. Griffith, Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
Nurses must be between the ages of 35
and 55 years of age. The accounts of
our wounded men lying in trenches for
days near Santiago, Cuba, makes women
with motherly instincts feel that no gov
eminent has any right to proclaim war
until an army of women nurses are train
ed and conveyed to the points where
probable fighting is to follow. The suf-
fering that follows battle from heat,
thirst, fever and weakness, resulting
| from exposure and neglect after being
wounded, far exceeds that experienced
during the heat of the battle. This is
the testimony of veterans of the civil
war. and it is suffering that might be OBJ
waited if corps Of nurses were in re-
serve at every battle field, and this ma
ton should make this provision for it's
army. IRENE q. ADAMS.

The convention opened in the Exposi-

terrupted session until 5:o7 p. m. VIII
liam Prentiss, OF Chicago, was both
temporary and permanent chairman,
and A. G. Bentley, Of Pittsfeld, was
secretary. The chief incident of the
convention proceedings was a bitter
fight over the appointment of the state
central committee Of two men promi-
nent as gold democrats in 1s96-Ben T.
Cable, of Rock Island, and Roger G..
Sullivan, of the Fifth congressional dis
trict After bitter fight the choice of
both Cable and Sullivan as committee
men was ratified.
Ex-Gov. Altgeld addressed the con-
vention at length. Mayor Carter h.
Harrison, of Chicago. was present, and
had expected to talk, but was not given
the opportunity until after four o'clock,
when, tired of waiting, he had gone
downtown. Then committee was APP
pointed to invite him to speak, but he
sent back word that he could not again
go to the fair grounds.

Paris, July lathe officials Of the

to the press dispatch from Madrid,

that although Spain was "only fight

an honorable peace, whatever sacri-
Aces may be necessary to attain this
end"

Madrid, July 13.-Atter the cabinet
council the ministers asserted that San
tiago de Cuba had again refused the
American demand forsurrender. Duke

eign affairs, said there was nothing to
Justify reports regarding conclusion

July 13.-All the Spanish ministers
have handed their designations to the
pramier, Senior Sagasta, who has ex-
planned the situation to the queen re-
gent. But the difficulty ts that no.
body is willing to accept the premier
ship. Marshal Martinez de Campos
would accept 1t, but he does not com
mand majority in the chamber Of
deputies.
While the military party urges war,
a large proportion Of the civil popula-
ton Is DESTROYS of peace.
It Is pointed out, however, that If
the United States insists upon the ees-
sion of Puerto Rico and the Philip
pine islands, the general feeling will
be in favor of a continuation of hos
tilities, many spaniards believing that
the situation in Cuba will enable Spain
| to prolong the struggle.
