NEW BRUNsWIOK's WHISTLE BROKE
Noiae of Eacapfng Steam Causes
nyueh Ss,scuIarjou


At intervals all yesterday afternoon and
this morning the lower part of the city
has been filed with the sound Of a low
monotonous steam whistle. At first those
who heard it thought that it drew at
tention to a fire along the river front or
in some railroad station, but as time went
on and the whistle went on with 1t with
out any sign of confiagration most
people gave up guessing about it.
The trouble all came from the New
Brunswick of the Twenty-third street
ferry. Some how or other its whistle got
out of order and allowed the steam 10
escape through it causing the noise.
Machinists tried to remedy it, but they
were unable to discover the cause. The
vent was finally discovered and the escape
of the steam stopped. With that the nolse
ceased.

London. Aug. 1O.-The Madrid correspon- dent of the Times says:
 There is no longer any doubt that the American proposals have only been &C., cepted ad referendum. There was differ ence of opinion, but majority of the caDl- net decided that the government would be exceeding its powers if it consented un- reservedly to a cession of territory and that therefore it would be better to state this fact clearly, and thus avoid any pos sible misunderstanding.
 ''The decision now rests with President Mckinley. If he is willing to negotiate on this condition, much available time will be saved, but if he insists upon the consent Of the cortes a considerable~ delay will re- suit.
 'The note to the United States it is said, suggests that in any case the non-consent of the cortes need not prevent suspen- sion of hostilities. It is to be hoped that Washington will take this view and thus avoid bloodshed, as there is no doubt that the garrison at San Juan de Porto Rico will resist as obstinately as did the garri- son at Santiago"
