IS SPAIN READY FOR PEACE !?
A Step Taken to Suppress Any Dis
order at Home.
CARLISTS ARE FURIOUS-A ROYAL
DECREE HAS BEEN GAZETTED
SUSPENDING THE RIGHTS OF IN
DIVIDUALS AS GUARANTEED BY
THE CONSTITUTIONAL BELIEF
THAT PEACE NEGOTIATIONS ARE
IN PROGRESS.

MADRID. July 1.-THE Official Gazette
to-day publishes a royal decree temporar-
lily suspending throughout the Spanish
peninsula the rights of individuals 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 measure.
The publication of the decree is gem
orally accepted as being convincing proof
that Spain is now ready to sue for peace
and that negotiations to that effect are
actually in progress. The government
wishes to have full power to suppress
any evidences of discomfort or rebellion
whenever they appear. The Carlists are
furious and are sure to attempt to create
trouble.
One minister expressed the conviction
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday, and there is reason
to believe France has offered her ser
vices to Spain and that Spain has drawn
up conditions of peace which offer basis
for negotiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying
that Spain wants peace, but that st
must be honorable peace, as Spain de-
serves. The Army" the premier is said
to have added, lis anxious to resist to
the last, but the government cannot con-
sent to such useless secrifice. Had we
our fleet the situation would be very diff
ferent.'
MADRID, July 15.-Noon.-The pacific
tendency is increasing. The general pub
lie take a favorable view of the sugges-
ton that the powers should attempt the
re-establishment of peace, but it is said,
contrary to the reports current, France
has not taken the initiative.
MADRID, July 15.-Noon.-The minister
for war; Gen. Correa, is quoted as saying
in an interview, that he thought peace
might be arranged on the following
terms: The United States and Spain 10
agree to let the Cubans decide by pie
biscite whether they desire independence
or autonomy under the suzerainty of
Spain The two governments TO agree TO
abide by the result of the plebiscite m
the event of the Cubans voting for indie
pendence, the United States to allow
Spain nine months in which to withdraw

BIG FIGURE
Enormous Quantities Of Stores and
Provisions Consumed and in Stock
at Chickamauga.

Chickamauga, July 15.-The Depart
ure of Gen Brooke for Washington,
there to make arrangements for the
expedition into Porto Rico, Is the
main subject of interest at Camp
Thomas The men OF the regiments
in the First corps are awaiting the
outcome of the generals trip with
especial interest on account of the fact
that they will accompany him on the
Porto Rican invasion. The First corps
is ready to move at any time. The
weather is again unfavorable for
steady work to-day. Frequent show
ers interfere with the drills and the
men are kept in camp the greater por-
ton OF the time.
Fifteen car loads of supplies-an en-
tire train-are being unloaded at the
camp to-day The amount of supplies
now on hand is enormous, but more
arrive daily.
Since the soldiers have been en-
camped here not less than $4,000, 900
worth Of quartermasters' supplies have
been issued the various commands by
Capt. Mccarthy. This does not in
clude the enormous amount of cloth
ing and equipage handled through the
Office OF Capt Zalinsh, in charge of
these supplies as a separate depart
ment of the quartermaster's depart
ment. The returns of Capt. McCar-
thys Office will be the largest to go to
the War Department since the civil
war.
From official figures furnished by
the Quartermaster 1t is seen that at
least $1,000, 900 worth Of stock has
been handled since the mobilization Of
Gen Brooke's vast army.
According to statistics in Capt Nc
Carthy's Office, there are now over TO-
600 head of stock scattered over the
great military camp. There are now
two regiments OF cavalry, two extra
troops of cavalry and about 80 batter
les of artillery and several thousand
horses are attached to the commands.
while the rem alder are used as wagon
and ambulance trains and officers

slowly down the bay, past the water

The soldiers on the transports crowd
ed into the rigging and answered the
cheering of the civilians with hearty
good will and responded to the dipping
flags of the merchant vessels by waving
their hats and handkerchiefs.
Long before dusk the last goodbye

Continuing, the minister for war said:
I'VE ought to retain Porto Rico at all
costs, in order to be always near Cuba,
of which the Americans will be able to
despoil us in the course of time, and in
order to more easily communicate with
the South American republics, which daily
display the greatest enthusiasm for
Spain.

tain we will retain them, even though
the Americans succeed in occupying Man

THE government has a scheme, which
will not only assure Spain the possession
of the Philippine islands, but will re-es-
'tablish tranquility.

It is also forbidden to publish without

by Secretary Day that there Is no truth
in the published report that peace nego-
cations have been opened at Washington
led by Sir Julian Pauncefote, assisted by
the Russion ambassador the japanese
minister and other foreign diplomats.
The subject of peace was not mentioned
at the cabinet meeting, and 1t can be au-
thoritatively stated that the President
has not received an intimation from any
official or even semi-off1cial source that
Spain desired peace upon any terms that
could be entertained by the United States
One prominent member of the cabinet
said that Spain was rapidly losing ground
by not seeking to make terms, and added
that "She seemed to have no ability to
make war, nor capacity to make peace.

he was yet without definite infor-
nation from Gen. Shafter con-
corning the surrender of San
tiago.
In accordance with the decision
reached at the conference with the
President, he sent instructions to
Gen. Shafter that nothing but I'M
conditional surrender by General
Toral would be satisfactory to this
government.
In view of Skaters last dispatch
no fear is felt that the negotiations
for the surrender of the forces in
Santiago city will not be prosecuted
to a 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. Shat
ter declined to grant. Toral has
modified his demand regarding the
arms. and has presented a petition
that the arms taken from his men
be returned TO Spain with the
troops. As indicated in Secretary
Ayers statement above given, the
petition has been denied by this
government.
The unusual delay, which has
puzzled the war officials, is ac-
counted for by the difficulty which
Gen. Toral is having in surrender
ing that part of the force under his
command which is not in the city
Of Santiago, General Shafter es-
Inmates that there are from 1900
to $1,000 men in Santiago and near
ly as many more in the province
outside the city. Il is believed that
the delay in the negotiations is
made necessary in order to secure
the surrender of the outlying gar
risons. some of which may ques-
ton Toral's authority TO surrender
them without definite instructions
to that effect from Madrid

Washington, July 16.-2 a. NJ
After an extended conference with
the President tonight, at which
three other members of the cab
met were present Secretary Alger
said:
"The situation is just this: the
Spaniards at Santiago are prepared
to surrender, but they want to car
nv their arms. We have deter
mined to grant no such concession
nor any concession except the gen.
erosity of this government to
transport them to Spain"
Secretary Alger was asked il it
was not the expectation that when
it was known no other terms would
he granted. the surrender would
take place, and replied that such
was the case. In any event, no
other concessions would be made
by this government.
1t was nearly 1 O'Clock when the
conference at the White House
adjourned. Besides Secretary AL
ger there were present Secretaries
Bliss and Wilson and Postmaster
General Charles Emory Smith.
Adjutant General Corbin was
present during the last hour Of the
conference. -is
Secretary Alger did not say how
much time would be allowed the
enemy to reach a conclusion, but
it is known that the administra-
ton will make it very short and
: submit to no further parley with
Gen. Toral. The next move is
surrender upon the terms which
the United States government
proposes, or immediate attack upon
the Spanish forces by the army
and navy.
