ment in London of the two fine cruisers
built and building at Elswick for the
Brazilian government Possibly the
officials took more pleasure in closing
up the business in this manner because
of the knowledge that the Spanish
agents had been striving to secure
these very ships, to whom, it is said,
they would be of much greater value
in case of trouble than to the United
States. The next question is how to
get the ships home, and that has not
yet been settled, according to the secre.
tary of the navy. The United States
flag will be hoisted over the new ships
within week probably, and just as
soon as the crew can be put aboard the
Amazonas she will be
Started for the United States.
The other vessel will follow at the ear
Hest possible moment. The terms of
sale are secret.
The two new ships will be most de.
sirable acquisition to the American
navy as they are the latest and best
products of the famous Armstrong
yards. One of the ships is complete in
every respect, has her coal supply and
ammunition on board and steam can be
raised at any time. There will be no
trouble in bringing this ship across, as
an adequate force from the local yards
can be secured for the service. The
other ship has been launched, but it
will take some time to make her ready
for sea.

inclination to Treat the Maine
Disaster and Intervention
as One ISSUE.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-At the war
and navy departments there was the
usual stir during the day, but it is alb
solutely untrue to say that either the
president or the abinet has reached the
conclusion that war is inevitable. All
the leading public men in Washington,
how ever, appreciate the fact that af-
fairs are approaching crisis, and that
it would be mistake to put off prep
aration till the crisis is actually
upon us.
Although the president is believed
to lean very strongly toward the view
that the Maine disaster and interven.
ton shall be treated as one and dis.
posed of jointly, it is but just to say
that some very good friends of peace
object to such a combination on the
ground that it
Confuses Two Wholly Separate Issues;
questions of international law raised in
the Maine case, and the humanity and
charity which alone could impel our
government to intervene in the domes-
tic affairs of a friendly power.
These advisers argue that, if the ex-
plosion of the Maine had occurred in
any other than a Spanish or Cuban
port, no one would have thought of
combining this incident with the Gu
ban question.
But the other side answers that,
whether logical or not, the association
of the two subjects does exist in the
public mind, both in this country and
abroad, and that our acceptance of
"blood money" at the present juncture
would be liable to a damaging misin-
depreciation on all Sides

WILL SUE FOR PEACE.
A Report That Action VIII Be Taken by
the Spanish Government This
Week.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Unofficial adj
vices to the administration from sources
heretofore accurate say Spain will sue
for peace this week. At the same time
no such suggestion from Spain, direct
or indirect, has been received here. The
government will listen if approached in
proper spirit.
PARIS. July 9.-The Temps last even
ing publishes a dispatch from Madrid
which says that its correspondent, in
spite of the official denials published
in the newspapers, persists in the belief
that the Spanish cabinet yesterday not
only deliberated upon the question of
negotiating for peace, but charged the
minister for foreign affairs, Duke Alme-
dovar de Rio, and the minister of pub
lie instruction, Senior Gamaza, to study
the matter and report upon it.
According to a dispatch from Rome
to The impartial OF Madrid, Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, in response
to the pope's intercession, has declared
he will exert all his influence, with the
cooperation of his two allies, to bring
about an honorable peace.

manders since 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, when Assistant Naval Constructor
Hobson and his men were exchanged.

by the troops at Siboney. The troops

he may deem proper to consider the adj
visibility of captivating with his gar
rison.
Although General Toral is apparently
anxious to resist to the bitter end, the
utter hopelessness of holding out
against siege by land and sea must be
forcing itself upon him. His losses
have been heavy.

was counting have not arrived. Gen
