Return in High Spirits.

Three of the Pennsylvania regiments and
Goblin returned to camp this morning from
Brookmount, on the Potomac. The men
were in high spirits, and came into camp
with colors flying and the bands playing Sc
lections from the vaudeville program at
Glen Echo. The secret of sill this is that, re-
alizing the dearth of such amusement in
camp, the brigade commander had permit
ted about every one who went on the

Probable Change of Camp.

The Sth 18th and 18th Regiments, Penn
sylvania Volunteer Infantry, and the Sd
Virginia, comprising the Sd Brigade of the
LIST Division, are to be moved tomorrow to
Cbittenden farm, about half mile from
Dunn Loring. 1t is POSSIBLE that the rest
of Gen. Buffers command will be given
new quarters near By.
This general movement in the 1st Diri-
sion is the outcome of the investige ton of
the sanitary condition prevailing in the
camp ordered by the War Department last
week. At that time there were many cases
OF typhoid fever in the various hospit ais,
and suspected cases were being reported in
stch numbers that general epidemic of
typhoid was regarde'I imminent. Thor
orgh examination had been made Of the
water and Inks several times previously,
and the inv iriable report was that Camp
Aiger was comfortably and wisely located.
AS the investigation conducted under the
direction of Gen. Sternberg progressed,
however, 1t became evident that the quar-
tiers assigned to some of the troops at
least, were unhealthy and undesirable. The
ID Brigade of the LIST Division, made up of
the regiments indicated, was in a particu-
larly uuhealthful situation.
PreventatIves Used.
In order to prevent further spread of the
ton of the camp Chief Surgeon Girard has
ordered the distribution of great quanti-
ties of chloride of lime, which, it is hoped,
may serve as an effectual disinfectant.
Meanwhile the Sd Brigade will have chang
ed its quarters, and Maj. Smart, the in
specting officer from the department, will
have had time to consult with the regi-
mental surgeon as to the advisability of
moving the whole division to Dunn Loring
Most of the medical officers on duty here
are inclined to think this latter course de-
sirable, because all the water consumed by
the LIST Division is now drawn from one
watershed, and so when one we'll is con-
taminated the water supply of the whole of
Gen. Buffers command will be affected So
far Gen. Butler has not prepared the order
directing the Sd Brigade to move, but have
Notified Gen. Corbin that such an order has
been prepared.

full hardware merchants in Baltimore and
his daughter is one of the most gracious
and beautiful young ladies' that has yet
visited the camp.
In consequence of many escapes from con-

built about the guard tent.

The Highest Proposals.

MADRID, July II, 9 a.m.-The possibility
of peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the newspapers and
by the public. The conservative papers de-
clare Spain is prepared to accept peace pro-
vided it implies only the loss of Cuba. But,
they assert, Spain would prefer war a
routrance if the United States should claim
Porto Rico, the Philippine Islands, or
an immense indemnity which would be I'M
possible for Spain to pay.
The Correspondence asserts that Gen.
Correa, the minister Of war. does not dis
agree with the other cabinet ministers SO
seriously as is generally supposed, and in
view of the gravity of the CUBAN situation,
il is possible he will no longer oppose
peace, provided the conditions arc not toe
onOrous.
The public connects the recent conference
between Duke Almodovar de Rio, the Span
ish minister for foreign affairs, and the
French ambassador here, NJ Patcnotre,
with the report that the French ambassa-
doI at Washington, NJ. Cambon, has been
Instructed to ascertain the lightest condi-
items upon which peace Is obtainatle.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-07-12

signed in consequence of irreconciliable
differences of opinion on the question Of
initiating peace negotiations
Conditions of Peace.
1t is asserted that the United States
makes the following demands as conditions
of peace:
First. The possession of Cuba and Porto
Rico, with port in the Canaries.
Second. An indemnity of f4S 900 900 about
$240, 600 ,OOO).
Third. The retention of the Philippines as
a guarantee of the payment of the indemni-
ty.
These terms are regarded as impossible.
Duke Almodovar de Rio, minister of for
eign affairs, had an audience with the
Queen Regent today, and subsequently, an
important conference with the French am
bassador.
1t is said that Captain General Blanco
has cabled to Madrid declaring that the
volunteer army in Cuba wishes the war to
continue, as the troops hope to secure vic
tories.

The above figures show difference in
my favor of .sO677, but this is not quite
half the true difference in my favor for
this reason: The special assessment
clerk and the driver were both on my pay
rolls during my entire term, and their
salaries were charged up to tho engineer
ing fund. But at the commencement Of
present term they were transferred to
other pay rolls, and their salar-
les charged to other funds, and they have
remained that way. Their salaries dur
ing the months Of my term given above
amount to s1,95O.O0. which amount
should be deducted from my pay rolls to
make just comparison. This shows a
total difference in my favor of 50 1856. II

1t will be remembered that Mr.. Pelton

city engineer. A vote for Mr.. Pelton will
be no mistake. he is thoroughly quail

FOR comfy RECORDER.

Mr., F. A, Tomlinson of Webster town.
ship announces himself as a Republican
candidate for county recorder to succeed
Mrs. Hepburn. Mr.. Tomlinson is
staunch Republican and is makeing can.
vass upon his merits to fill the position to
which hs aspires aoceptably to the people
of the coun9y. The Express makes the
formal announcement OF his candidacy
and asks that the Republicans Of Polk Co.
may give Mr.. Tomlinson's claim their
consideration At the primaries. The fact
that Mr.. Tomblinson has resided 20 years
in Polk county and 20 years in Webster
township and has been working Repub-
licau all this time, speaks much for him
being deserving candidate. He will
have the support Of his neighbors and the
Republicans of that section are assisting
in his canvass over the county. Mr..
Tomlinson has never been . candidate DO
fore and has every qualification to make
an sDemplary officer. While the most Of
his life has besu spent upon the farm hs
he is thorough business man and fully
capable of taking up the work in any of
our county Offices. His farm in Webster
township is under the direct charge of his
son who is successfully looking after his
own and his fathers interests at home
Mr.. Tomlinson desires to be known as q
country candidate and having been SO
long in the county and his every interest
being IN the country his candidacy will
appeal to the Republicans from the country
precints from whom he expects support.
