TIRED OF THE WAR.
Many Indications That Spain Is Anx-
ious for a Return OF Peace
Powers 10th to Act.

Washington, June 6.-The belief is
growing in the best informed govern
ment circles that Spain is sincerely
anxious to make peace, and that even
now she is seeking a favorable oppor-
tunity to make overtures in that direc-
ton. Numerous evidences of this have
come to the attention of the authorities
here, but up to this time no actual move
has been made toward ascertaining on
what basis the United States would con-
slider peace. 1t is said that the first step
would be toward having some disinter-
ested power make inquiry of this gov
ernmend as to what terms would be ac-
cepted, after which the terms being
stated, it would be for Spain 20 form a
commission and make n formal tender
of peace. The authorities here feel that
Spain is feeling her way toward move
ment of this kind.
One evidence of IL is the utterance of
the Spanish ambassador at London urg-
ing that peace movement is opportune
at this time. 1t is thought to be highly
improbable that a Spanish official of his
rank would make a statement of this
kind unless it voiced the view enter
tanned by. The authorities at Madrid.
Another evidence is the sending OF
Senior Castillo to Paris, his principal
mission being to enlist sympathy there
and to encourage a movement towards
securing peace on basis honorable to
Spain. With this comes the report of
the serious embarrassment of the Bank
ofSpain, on which the government relies
for funds to carry on the war. The des-
perate condition of the Spanish forces
at Manila, Santiago and Havana are
looked upon as added reasons why
Spain should be solicitous at this time
for peace.
But while Spain is thought to be de
sirous to secure peace, she appears t.

be unable to secure the services of dis
interested power TO take the initiative
in peace movement. This was the
view expressed by leading member of
the diplomatic corps. He said that
much surprise mad been caused at for
eign capitals by the resentment in the
United States against the kindly rep
reservations of the great powers, made
to President Mckinley some weeks ago,
which had been treated by the Ameri-
can press and by public opinion
throughout this country as an intrusion
on the part of the great powers. For
that reason the efforts since made by
Spain to induce the European powers
to intervene had met with fiat failure
because none of the powers wish to
arouse the enmity of the United States.
For the same reason, this diplomatic
official pointed out, the European pow
ers were 10th to befriend Spain at the
present time even to the extent of max
ing inquiry as to what basis of peace
would be acceptable to the United
States. No one power would undertake
such inquiries, he said, as 1t would sub
ject that power to the possibility of be-
ing snubbed. He thought such snub
quite likely in view of the manner in
which the kindly representation of the
powers had been received some weeks
ago. And, while no power was willing
to act alone, neither could the powers
be brought together for united action
along that line.

NAVAL HERO DEAD.
Capt. Gridley, Commander ofDewey's
Flagship at the Battle of Ma
Mia, Passes Away.

Washington, June Capt. Charles
V. Gridley, commander of the cruiser
Olympia and one of the heroes of the
brilliant victory at Manila. is dead. The
announcement of his death was received
by the navy department late Sunday
afternoon in a cablegram from Pay
master Gelt, of the navy, dated at Kobe,
japan, June 4, and directed to Secretary
Long. The dispatch contained this
simple statement: Capt. Gridley died
to-day. Remains accompany me on
Coptio."
Capt. Vernon Gridley is the first
American officer of great prominence
whose death is direct result of the ex-
listing war with Spain. AS commander
of Admiral Dewey's splendid flagship
and one of the admiral's chief advisers
Capt. Gridley achieved distinction at
the battle of Manila bay and added to
his previous laurels by winning high
praise from his superiors in the service
for distinguished gallantry and ability.
He fought his ship from the coming
tower, while Admiral Dewey directed
the movements of his squadron from
the bridge of the vessel.
1t was not known for several weeks
after the engagement that Capt. Grid
ley suffered from it; and even now the
precise nature of his trouble is not dis
closed. Upon the arrival of the Zafiro
at Hong Kong on the Goth of May the
navy department was notified that Capt.
Gridley had been condemned by a board
of medical survey and ''invalided"
home. Subsequent advices received by
the department indicated that Capt.
Gridley was suffering from the effects
of rupture supposed to have been re-
ceived during the battle at Manila, but
no details were given. 1t was not sup
posed that his illness was very serious
as the department was informed tina.

cookery, and | can't stop in place where
my efforts to please are wasted; so I'd
