From time to time since then she has
been treated for stomach troubles by DR..

she could not live long without relief.
Or. Blalock therefore prepared to re-

Contrary to the diagnosis, after the in

This was the only official statement
made public. but 1t aufIices to put at
rest all conjecture aud TO make il clear
and definite that st last Spain had taken
the Initiative toward peace. Although
peace rumors have heen current almost
4 daily since the war began, not one OF
them had the shadow Of foundation, and
until the French ambassador received in-
structions from Paris, late Last night,
no overtures Of any kind had been re-
ceived.
/ Shortly before midnight last night q
dispatch TO the French embassy made it
known to the embassy that the ambassa-

mission Of opening peace negotiations in
behalf Of Spain,
The complete instructions, including
an official letter from Duke Almodovar
de Rio, were received this morning.
Thereupon NJ. Thibeaut, fret secretary
Of the embassy, called at the state de-

was confined to the one essential point Of
an earnest plea that negotiations be
opened for the purpose Of terminating
the war aud arriving at terms Of peace,
nor was any reference made to Cuba, the
Philippines, Porto Rico or other Span

Madrid authorities was to first learn
whether the United States would treat on
the subject OF peace, and aiterward to
take up the terms as the two parties
might suggest.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
A Barn Badly Burned for
Joe Rainville.
4 SERIOUS OPERATION
Remarkable Growth Taken
From the Stomach.

I Shortly after dinner Monday, the barn
on the city property of Joe 1ainvills was
discovered to be on fire.
| The members Of the fire department
were quick to respond. and soon bad a
stream OF water playing on the flames,
which were making rapid headway
through the roof at the south end OF
the building.
How the fire originated remains a
mystery, there being several theories as
to its origin. A team was put in the barn
shortly before dinner, but was taken out
before the fire started.
Some little boys, who were playing in
the alley on which the barn lie situated,
told of seeing man enter the barn,
light match, drop it into the manger
and then make his escape through a
window. They gave description Of the
man in detail. They say he went out
the alley and turned toward the depot
The manner In which the description
was given impressed the officers and a
thorough search of the town was made,
but without success.
The fire is supposed 10 have started in
the manger, and rapidly communicated
with the loft, which was partially filed
with hay. This lends considerable
color to the supposition that the barn
was set on fire by some one by accident
or otherwise.
Then there are those who contend
that the fire started from heat Of the
sun againet the window pane on the
south side Of the barn. About one,third
of the window extends above lhe loft
floor, on which was a small amount oil
wheat hay in bundles. Argument is ad
vanced that some of these hay bundles
perhaps contained weeds that were dry
and resinous and the excessive heat
penetrating from the window glass could
easily have ignited the weeds, setting the
loft on fire, and burning particles drop
ped to the manger below, setting the hay
in 1t on fire.
Various are the theories advanced and
while as yet none of them have been
proven correct, the fact remains that
Rainville's barn was on fire, and that
the upper portion of it was considerably
damaged by the flames. The loss is
total for Mr.. Rainville had no insurance
whatever on the building. Joe Is re-
marksbly unlucky % regards fire. II
was not so very long ago that fire de.
stroyed his residence and buildings on
bis farm south of town.
