PEACE CLOSE AT HAND.
What Spain Is willing to DO to Bring
1t About.


washington. July 16.-President Nc
Kinley is reported to have received a
semi -official dispatch which indicates
that peace with Spain Is nearer than
most people imagine. The dispatch in
Inmates that Spain is willing to con-
cede the independence of Cuba, to
transfer Porto Rico to the United States
in exchange for the Philippine islands
and to allow the United States coa.-
ing station in the Philippines. 1t Is
believed that If these prcposit'o 'ons come
officially rom SPAN, they viii be ac-
cepted promptly by the United States
and the war ended.
London. July 16-The Berlin corre-
spondent of The Daily News says pri-
yate advices from Madrid are to the
effect that the cabinet has decided up
on peace, and the foreign minister and
minister Of public works are formulat-
ing the conditions to which Spain Will
agree. A dispatch to The Times from
Madrid says that the peace prospects
are improving. The symptoms of
change are especially marked in COM
mercial circles The Madrid Chamber
of Commerce has received kilograms
in favor of peace from Cadfz, Vigo and
elsewhere. but nobody favors peace at
any price. The movement may be de-
scribed as a desire for peace with
honor, without great territorial sacri-
fees. Inordinate demands, the dis
patch says, might easily arouse a war
like spirit. compelling the government
to swim with the popular current, re-
oardless Of consequences.

List Already So Long.

washington, July 16.-Although the
pension appropriation is by all odds
the largest sum demanded of the Unit

of life has been trifling as compared
with that of the civil war, the 300 dead

Washington, July 16.-Porto Rico Will
be the next Spanish territory invaded
by the American army. When-the news
of the surrender of Santiago reached
the war department final preparations
were at once begun for sending our
troops to Porto Rico. General Brooke,
who has been selected to take an active
part in the Porto Rican invasion, has
been summoned from Chickamauga to
Washington for consultation. About
10000 men will be included In this ex-
pedition. Most of these will be sent
from Santiago. These men are now
thoroughly acclimated to tropical war
fare, and will do much better service
than raw recruits. 1t Is learned at the
war department that we have twenty
five transports at Santiago. These VIII
be enough to convey our troops ana
supplies to Porto Rico.

illustrations show alongside of each
other the first known specimen of a
watch, constructed by the young MUIR
emburg locksmith, Peter Henlein, called
for short Hele, and the smallest watch
ever made, recently completed in a
Swiss factory. Hele was the first to
employ a spring in a watch, all the
parts of which he made of steel or iron.
His watch weighed a couple of pounds.
The little watch is here illustrated, full
size. Its face is six mi1limeters, or

these watches to weigh a pound. Yet
its price is in no proportion with the
amount of material employed in its
construction, for it costs $1,000. This
