General Correa Names Terms ON
Which 1t Might Be Arranged.
MADRID, July 15.-The Minister for
War, General Correa, is quoted as
saying that he thought peace might
be arranged on the following terms:
The United States and Spain to agree
to let the Cubans decide by plebis-
cite whether they desire independence
or autonomy under the suzerainty Of
Spain; the two governments to agree
to abide by the result of the plebiscite.
In the event OF the Cubans voting for
independence, the United States to
allow Spain nine months ia which to
withdraw her army gradually and
dignifledly from Cuba, las soldiers
should, after fighting like heroes"
Continuing the Minister of War
said: "We ought to retain Porto Rico
at all costs, in order to be always near
Cuba, OF which the Americans will be
able to despoil Us in course OF time
and in order to more easily communi
! cate with the South American repub
lies, which daily display the greatest
enthusiasm for Spain.

Southern Kentucky. The company
will employ about 4 ZOO miners and
produce about 10, 900 tons of coal a

purchased by this syndicate was

Linney was not such bowling
favorite for the Republican Congress
sional nomination after all and with
all the hurrahing of his Federal
official pie munchers. His friend, y.
Wiley Shook, comes to the rescue OF
the ssBull of the Brushes" and at
tempts to disprove the charge that
gag rule prevailed in the Convention
that nominated Mr.. Linney. Shook
admits that with full Convention,
and we take it that he means Con-
yention as thoroughly Linneyized as
if was possible co make it, the vote
would have been: Linney, Is; Will
cox. Z; Marshall, 2; Bailey, 2; or a
majority of only 4 for Linney. So
leaving out the question of contests
and protests, it will be seen by Mr..
Shocks own admission that Llnney
had a close call to being invited 10
| step down and out of the race-and
this despite the vigorous wire-puil-
ing of those upon whom the Con

let the public decide If ne does no

own attempt to deny it. He says
"When the smoke of the first battl
