FOR1KER ON PEACE.
Says Treaty When Concluded Will be
 Submitted to the Senate.

Submitted to the Senate.
 Washington, July 26-Senator Fora ker of Ohio, the only republican mem Der of the committee on foreign rela- tions in the city, said tonight that the treaty of peace, when concluded, would be submitted to the senate. It was his opinion that whatever terms were made the reasons for them would be such as to commend them to the judgment of the senate and they would be added to, especially as hostilities would have been ended Senator Foraker further said: q do not think we should give up any territory of which we have talk en possession. We should retain Porto Rico and the Philippines, give to Cuba an independent government and main- tain such relations with the people os will ultimately bring about the annex ation of the islands to the United States by the desire of the people themselves"
 Senator Morgan of Alabama, senior democratic member of the senate for- eign relations committee, said he re-
 
 submission by Spain. Concerning the terms of peace he said: My first prop osition would be the complete uncondi- tional surrender by Spain of all terri tory over which the flag floats. This would include Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, the Carolinas and the La drones. I would make this surrender the subject of separate and exclusive treaty. I would also demand as one of the first conditions of peace the opening of jail doors to all prisoners confined for political offenses. This proposition should free all who have been impris- oned because of participation in the in surrection After this treaty had been concluded I would take up the matter of war indemnity. Individually, I should want to consider the matter of a coaling station in the Canary Islands. Further, I would require guarantees from Spain that she will assume all re- sponsibility for any debts that might prove lien upon Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines"

TROOPS TO BE YAcCIN4TED.
Order Issued for Inocu1atiOn of Those
 at Niantic.

Camp Haven, United States Military Post, Mantle, Conn, July 26.-There is great jubilation in camp tonight. not, however, over the fact that Spain has sued for peace, which was not known here until after the demonstration was over, but on account of an order that Lieutenant Colonel Rogers issued this afternoon at parade that all the men must be vaccinated. This was looked upon as presaging an early movement of the troops to the country where &C., tive service might be a possibility and there was consequently considerable elation among the soldiers. The Yale battery went so far as to have a torch light procession to manifest their grat- ifcation. The work of vaccination will commence tomorrow at 7:30 a, m., and the field staff and band will be the first to be inoculated.

HE COULD SPEAK ENGLISH.
When Denied an Interpreter Manuel Olevedo Testified in His Wife's
 Divorce Shit

OAKLAND Nov 29.-Further hearing was had before Judge Ogden this after noon in the divorce suit of Maria R. Ole vedo against Manuel A. Olevedo, brought on the ground of cruelty. Mrs. Olevedo again testified as to being struck by her husband on her return from a visit to friends one evening year ago.
 It developed that the defendant has re- sided in California the past forty-two years, but he had never expressed his de- sire to become citizen. He claimed, moreover, when called to the witness stand to-day, that he could not speak or understand English. When, however, the interpreter was denied him, he made a very successful effort to get along with out such aid, and answered the court s questions quite readily.
 Judge Ogden continued the matter of a final decision for two weeks His Honor intimated that if the decree is granted there shall also be a division of property and children, but that in the event of denying divorce an order would be made The attorneys were unable to agree on many points relating to alimony, hence the continuance.

CATASTROPHE WAS INVERTED
FLYING SPARKS SET FIRE TO A
 RAILROAD TRESTLE.
Wind Helps the Workmen to Hold the Fire in Check Till the Danger Was
 Past.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call,

SUo bIOduNdy, INON %S
 Another disastrous explosion was mar rowly averted at the California Powder Works al 2:20 o'clock this morning. The guncotton department was discovered to be on fire, and only after vigorous efforts on the part of employees were the flames subdued before they reached the adjoin- ing acid department
 It is peculiarity in the manufacture of guncotton that it will not at certain stages ignite even by the application of fire. It is always kept within these stages at Pinole, being taken to Santa Cruz for de- velOpment. One part of the department consists of a huge room, in which the cotton is dried after being washed and before it is mixed with acid. This drying room frequently contains tons of loose cotton, much of it fluffy and dusty, which is very infiammable. It was In this room that the fire originated. The flames were discovered at half-past ? o'clock, and at once the frebell was tolled and several hundred employees were called to the scene.
 The work of fighting the fire was helped by the wind, which remained in a faVOra- ble quarter until all danger was past The employees Iabored with what might De called true bravery and indifference to their own safety, for close to the gunCot- ton works are several stOrehouSes con- taining explosives, and a single spark from the burning cotton-house might have produced an explosion. That there was great danger of flying sparks reaching the gIycerine-house and other buildings was proved by the fact that some of the sparks reached a railroad trestle on the overland track and set it on fire. It was necessary to delay all travel until the fire was put out and all possible danger from a prospective explosion or burned treStle was passed. The loss is estimated at S20 ,000
 The buildings are all of very light con- struction, for obvious reasons. This after noon the wreck had been cleared away, and workmen were busy with the recon struction. No one was injured, but the accident will keep many men out of work for a few weeks. The company has been working on heavy shifts at double pres sure for several months fulfilling an order for half a million pounds of guncotton and smokeless powder for the United States Government.

BRANDEs PROTESTED.
Lillian Brandes' Alleged Slayer Ob- iected to His Photo Being Taken.

OAKLAND, Nov. 29. = William A. Brandes, who, with his wife, is charged with the murder of his 13-year-old daugh- ter, Lillian, protested most stoutly to-day when Photographer c. W. Logan called on him to take his picture for Sheriff Whites rogues' gallery. He said his at torneys, Bennett & Sawyer, did not wish him to be photographed but Deputy Sher- if Lane insisted that his photo was very essential. Brandes, however, when he finally faced the camera, dropped his jaw and in other ways changed his facial ex- pression, hoping thereby to succeed in giving an unrecognizable picture. Two views were secured.
 Mrs. Brandes was also photographed at the County Jail to-day, but she submitted without a murmur. Her general appear ance indicates that she is slowly wasting away under the great strain.

 anQ RrnadwaU Nov 2Q

 A case of extremest cruelty with a savor of the Brandes case was investt- gated by Sergeant Peterson to-day by or der of Chief of Police Fletcher. It is that of Mrs Edward Rockhill, residing with her family at the corner of .Forty-third and Linden streets, and the story or her suffering and injuries at the hands Of her husband as told by her is most scan dalous.
 When Sergeant Peterson called at the Rockhfn residence he found the woman confined to her bed. She stated that she had been severely beaten by her husband last Sunday because she had not arranged turkey dinner on Thanksgiving day. Rockhil had struck his wife across the face with the wooden handle Of large knife or piece of wood-she did not know which, for as result of the first blow her face and eyes were covered with blood and her face was badly bruised, while other portions Of her body also showed marks.
 According to Mrs. Rockhilrs statement, her little niece, aged F years, interfered at the time, and the woman had thus been enabled to escape with her life. The in furiated husband then attempted to strike the girl with a club, which he finally threw at her, but it missed its mark and crashed through a window pane. It is said, moreover, that the husband, after knocking his wife down, kicked her.
 The unfortunate woman ran to neigh bors after the terrible beating and they summoned Dr, Legault, who dressed her wounds.
 Dr. Legault states that when he visited Mrs. Rockhill she was bleeding freely from a cut on the bridge of the nose, which had been inflicted, he thought, by a blunt instrument.
 Edward Rockhill is employed from time to time at the Judson Iron Works. He is a powerful man. The injured woman is his second wife.
 Mrs. Rockhir stated to Sergeant Peter son that she did not wish to have her as- sailant arrested. She intimated that he is sometimes out of his right mind because their home. During these spells, she said he is very violent and she admitted that she was afraid he would kill her sooner or later; yet on account of his miSfOr- tunes she sympathiZed with him and sim ply asked for protection.
