A press dispatch brings the informa-
ton that Spain will soon sue for, peace.
Numerous evidences of this have come
to the attention of the authorities, who
think that Spain is feeling her way
towards movement of this kind. One
evidence of it is the utterance of the
Spanish ambassador at London urging
that peace movement is opportune at
this time. 1t is thought to be highly
improbable that Spanish official of his
rank would make statement of this
kind unless it voiced the view enter
tanned by the authorities at Madrid.
With this comes the report of the seri-
Gus embarrassment of the Bank of Spain,
on which the government relies for funds
to carry on the war. The desperate con-
dition Of the Spanish forces at Manila,
Santiago and Havana is looked upon as
an added reason why SPAN should be
solicitous at this time for peace.

The Chickamauga correspondent of
the Pioneer Press pays this pleasant CON-
pliment to the quartermaster of the
Twelfth: If the regiment is sure of any
one thing, it is sure that among tho thir-
ty-six quartermasters of the thirty six
regiments now at Camp George H.Thom-
as, in Quartermaster John Lind it has
the best one. His labors to supply the
men of the regiment with everything
nesdful have been ircessant, and from
driving mules to drawing potatoes, he
has seen that we have had all we are
entitled to. Issuing all the tents, for
several nights he slept out under the
