oVertures on behalf of Spain for peace or
cessation of hostlities until the French
ambassador last Tuesday AFTERNOON pre-

statmcnt Is made with a full knowledge

last few days Is absolutely without foun-
dalton, and our government has done no.
thing that can subject 1t to the criticism
or this score, Persons qualified to speak
for Spain in this country make the same
statement, The alleged charges of bad
faith against the United States attributed
to Premier Sagasta are discredited as in
ventons designed to prejudice the success
full progress of the present peace move
ment.
1t could not be contemplated for n mo-
ment that any mere personal exchange of
views between persons in Europe could be
construed AS overtures for peace, and IL
can be affirmed that the United States
government has not been party to It.
Moreover, so far as Amba ssador Cambon
Is concerned. 1t can be stated positively
that he made no overture, direct or in
direct, official or unofficial, relating To
peace or any phase of peace, prior 10
three o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Military
authorities regard Premier Sagasta's al.
legged statement that peace oYertures oper.
ate to stay the course of military opera
tons as little short of amazing, and di.
rectly contrary to the military law of the
United States. but to the whole recognized
principles of international law. In general

or armistice is actually concluded and
that this truce or armistice must he In writ.

not regarded as any warrant for stopping

of hostilities prior to an agreement to sus.

agreement Is binding on military com.

samples Of the soaps and long list Of
premiums which are offered in exchange for
soap wrappers. These premiums consist
of different articles of linen, silverware,
jewellery and 81 different pictures, some Of
them very pretty indeed and prettily
framed. These premiums are offered for
wrappers varying in number from six to

ha ndled by all grocers and Mrs. Allen ex-
ten DIS cordial invitation to all to visit her
and examine the many pretty and costly
premiums on exhibition.
