FIVE HUNDRED SICK.
Fearful Condition of Things o
Board the Cruiser Harvard.

Portsmouth. N. H., July II. - The
auxiliary cruiser Harvard, HAVING on
board zoos Spnish prisoners, arrived
in Portsmouth harbor. The port ply
sician boarded the vessel and, in COM
pany with the Spanish doctor, made an
investigation.
The investigation disclosed the fact
that nearly half on board are i'll. Six
Spaniards died on the passage from
Santiago to Portsmouth, another
death occurred this forenoon and three
patients We're not expected to live
until night. There were forty serious
cases in the sick bay and forty equally
as bad in other portions Of the ship.
All these patients are said to be vic
Tins of malarial fever. with which dis
case those who died were effected.
Physicians will make further inspec-
ton of the vessel and determine
whether or not she shall be sent to
quarantine. Owing to these conditions
nothing has been done in the line of
preparation for landing the prisoners.

TO SUE FOR PEACE.
President Mckinley Anticipating an
Early Cessation of Hostilities.

Madrid, July17-The Official Gazette
this morning publishes royal decree,
temporarily suspending throughout the
Spanish Peninsula the rights of individ-
uals as guaranteed by the constitution.
The decree adds that the government
will render an account to parliament
of the use it may make Of this meas
ure.
The publication Of the decree is gen.
orally accepted as being convincing
proof that Spain is now ready to sue
for peace, and that negotiations to that
end are now virtually in progress. The
government wishes to have full power
to suppress any evidence of discomfort
or rebellion which might appear. The
Carlists are furious. and are sure to
attempt to create trouble.
One minister expressed the opinion
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday, and there is rea-
son to believe France has offered her
services to Spain. and that Spain has
drawn up conditions for peace which
offers a basis for negotiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying
that Spain wants peace. but that lit
must be an honorable peace as Spain
deserves" The army, the premier is
said to have added, "is anxious to re-
sist to the last; but the government
cannot consent to such a useless sac
rifice. Had we our feet, the situation
would be very different

Girls are apt to resent the opinion
held by many of their friends. and
even some of their admirers, that they
do not know how to think; and that
they generally refuse to concentrate
their attention long enough to reason
upon any subject. In resenting it, the
ordinary young woman will exclaim
with assurance that the criticism isn't
true; that many a girl has thought
herself into headache, which no one
will deny; but even this, one torment
ing young skeptic saucily declares, is
quite frequently done after the man
ner Of the girl in the story of How
One Girl Studies" She places her box
OF chocolates on the table, and while
eating them and polishing her finger
nails, says aloud and indistinctly, of
course, THE three angles of triangle

that picnic! The three angles of a tri-
angle are equal to two right angles

Should one Judge from the so-called
comic page, all men are liars and dis
honorable, all women frivolous and I'M
faithful, all children imps, all mothers
in-law monsters, all homes unhappy,
all husbands and wives quarrelsome,
all dealers cheats, all ministers whited
sepulchres, all charitable organizations
frauds, all mankind thoroughly cor
rupt." Thus the editor Of the Elmira
Gazette laments what he calls the mis-
chief of the comic. The extract has its
modicum of truth; but let the dear man
think! Shall we eliminate satire?
Shall we abolish the exaggeration Of
poetry? Shall we omit that part of
history which is not susceptible of alb
solute proof? Shall We overlook hy-
pocrisy and pretension? Shall POM
posity and -gloriousness 90 I'M
pricked of their ridiculous wind? Give
the world credit for some little intelli-
gence.

"Germnny Still Preserves Her Mem

PRESERVES Her NCu.
trnlity Toward SPAIN"
Berlin, July 1G. - The Cologne lei
tung denounces the story of the Ger
man warship Irene interfering at Su-
big bay. Philippines, as fabrication.
The Lokal Anzieger says the Ameri-
cans are unreasonably excited about
the Irene incident, adding:
Even if it occurred as Admiral
Dewey says, the Irene did not inter-
fere, but retired upon the arrival of
the Americans. Therefore, every
courtesy was shown that the Ameri-
cans demand of a neutral country.
But if the Irene did hinder Aguinaldo's
landing it is no business of Dewey's.
If the American admiral sees fit to
make common cause with insurgent
chiefs it is none of our affair. Ger
many still preserves her neutrality to-
ward Spain, and does not recognize,
nor intend to recognize. Aguinaldo and
his horde as belligerents. The matter
is SO plain that we do not believe any
diplomatic step will be taken, and do
not doubt for a moment that the
American officials will admit the cor
rcctness Of the German proceedings"
The foregoing is believed to be in
spirel.

Toral-His Demand That the span-

satisfactory to This Government.

Washington, July 17.-After an ex-
tended conference with the president.
at which three other members of the
cabinet We're present, Secretary Alger
said:
1.-THE situation is just, this: The
Spaniards at Santiago are prepared to
surrender, but they want to carry their
arms. We have determined to grant
no such corcession nor any concession
except the generosity of this govern
ment to transport them to SPAIN"
Secretary Alger was asked If it was
not the expectation when it was known
that other terms would be granted the
surrender would take place, and re-
Piled that such was the case. In any
event no further concessions would be
offered by this government. 1t was
late when the conference at the White.
House adjourned. Secretary Alger did
not say how much time would be al
lowed the enemy to reach conclusion,
but it was said the administration,
would make it very short and submit
to no further parley with Gen. Toral.
The next thing after the refusal to-
surrender the United States govern
ment proposes

president he sent instructions to Gen.

tional surrender by Gen. Toral would
be satisfactory to this government. In
view of Skaters last dispatch no fear.
is felt that the negotiations for the sur
render Of the forces in Santiago city
will not be prosecuted to successful
conclusion. Gen. Toral, it is known,
at first insisted that his men should be,
permitted to carry their arms with
them to Spain. This concession Gen.
Shafter declined to grant. Gen. ToraI
has modified his demand respecting
the arms, and has presented PROPOSE
ton that the arms be. taken from his
men be taken to Spain with the
troops. This petition has been denied
by the government.

Several Well Loaded Vessels Are
Captured.

Key West, July II. - Three prizes
were brought here, but none Of any
great consequence and the captures
were effected with only ordinary Incl
dents. The English-built steamer
Grenow Castle. which for several
years piled on the Cuban coast under
the Spanish flag, but on June last re-
turned to her British registry, was TAX

Sunday. She was bound from King

of food supplies. Her crew consisted
Of six Spaniards and four Jamaican ne
groes. The day before this capture the
Dixie took two schooners, the Three
Bells and the Pilgrim, both flying the
British flag and both bound for Man
Zanillo from Kingston, with food sup
plies. The Three Bells was originally

from the Hist were put on board as
the prize crew. Two so-called Dassen-
gers were among those on board. They
are A. Won Gothard and Frank Berger,
and they protested vigorously against
the capture, declaring that as British
subjects they could claim indemnity
from the United States. The vessels
cargo was food, including deck load
of pigs, goats, chickens, flour, pork,
potatoes and the like. She was bound
for Manzanillo. The auxiliary gunboat

She had no cargo. The Uncas brough

The transfer of Puerto Rico to the

A coaling station in the latter islands

Spain is willing to make these con-
cessions to obtain peace, according to q
dispatch received by President McEin-
ley from q semi-otficial sources. Ad-
ministration officials with whom I
talked after they had learned Of the
contents Of the dispatch. informed me
that an official proposition embracing
these terms would be accepted by the
United States. Thus, if President Nc
Kinley's informant is correct, peace in
the near future is an absolute GER
tainty. His dispatch stated that the
ministry at a meeting to-day had de-
finitely determined to abandon the
struggle and had decided to sue for
peace on the terms set forth.
In some circles find a disposition to
accept the information us entirely
lIuSlNOItAys Willie Ill OlueiS there Is
some doubt. There seems to be gen.
eral impression among administration
officials, however, that the prospect of
the commencement of negotiations for
the cessation of war is extremely
bright. This impression is primarily
based upon the action of Gen. oral, aft
er consultation with Madrid, in sur
rendering the city of Santiago de Cuba
and the troops under his command
Secondarily, it is based upon the re-
ports received from Madrid showing
that the people are becoming convinced
of the useleSsneSs of continuing the
struggle, and that pressure is being
eXerted in the interest of pace by the
Vatican and by at least one European
power.
1t can't be stated on authority that
no representation has vet been made
to this government, either from it's
agents abroad or from foreign repre-
sentatives in Washington. respecting
its attitude upon the question or the
terms which it will be willing to ac-
cept. There is no doubt Of the inten-
ton of the president to push the cam
paign against Puerto Rico and to dis
patch the Eastern squadron to operate
against Spain. provided the Madrid
government should not be satisfied
with the mauling it has been given.
Mr.. Mckinley would. however, much
prefer that the war should end. and is.
therefore willing to be as lenient with
the Spanish government as possible.

Playa del Este, July 16.-A French
gunboat attempted to come into the

and met with a surprise party. The

as the gunboat came into the entrance

This, too, was disregardod. the gum

For few minutes it looked as if a

the Marblehead rang out a call to
quarters and another shot was sent
across the French boats bows, this
time in uncomfortable proximity. That
warning was sufficient, however, and
the Frenchman stopped with extreme
suddenness.
