RUSSIA WANTS PEACE.
Ready to Join Any Other Power
in Bringing 1t About.

st. Petersburg, July 8.-The Russian
officials and the general public here
are strongly in favor of speedy peace,
as the only salvation for Spain, and the
newspapers recommend the interven-
ton of Europe to compel a cessation Of
hostilities. 1t is asserted that if any
power directly interested in the fate of
Spain or the United States proposed
mediation, or initiated intervention,
she would certainly have Russia's ap-
prova1.
Washington, July st can be stated
authoritatively that no overtures toward
peace have been received up to the time
of the cabinet meeting today. AT the
same time cabinet members look upon
the situation as having more FACTORS
conducive to peace than at any time
heretofore. 1t would be no surprise If
peace OVertureS came to the govern
ment any moment, either directly from
Spain, or through some intermediary.
This is felt to be SO imminent that it
leads to numerous rumOrs that the ac-
tual OvertureS have been made, but the
reports are premature and are based on
expectations, rather than anything tan
gible.
This is not only the official statement
of government authorities, but the same
is taken at the British, French, German
and other foreign embassies and lega-
tions, where it is stated that a peace
movement has not assumed a definite
form, but that all circumstances tend
in the direction of desire by Spain to
terminate the conflict. None of the for
eign representatives have yet received
instructions to act.
At the British embassy specific in
quiry was made concerning a. published
report that Sir Julian Pancefote had
made indirect Overtures to the presi-
dent, looking to peace and that the
president, while declining intermedia-
ton, had said he would agree to peace
if Spain applied direct on certain stated
terms. The embassy authorized a full
explicit and complete denial of the re-
port. The ambassador, it was stated.
had not seen the president of late and
no overtures of any kind had been made
by him to the United States.

PEACE DISCUSSED.
Spanish Cabinet is Reported to Have
Considered the Matter.

Paris, July 8-The Temps publishes a
dispatch from Madrid which says that
its correspondent in spite of official de-
malls published in the newspapers, per-
sists in the belief that the Spanish cab
met yesterday not only deliberated up
on the question of negotiating for
peace, but charged the minister for for
eign affairs, Duke Almodovar de Rio,
and the minister of public instruction,
Senor Gamazo, to study the matter and
report upon it.
not believe the pope will again inter-
vene, although he has charged the pa
pal nuncio at Madrid to renew his ex-
pressionS of sympathy with Spain and
the dynasty and has also ordered the
Spanish prelates to restrain the Car
lists.
According to a dispatch from Rome
to the impartial, of Madrid, Emperor
Francis Joseph of Austria, in response
to the pope's intercessiOn, has declared
he will exert his influence, with the CO.
operation of his two allies, to bring
about an honored peace.

ON TO PORTO RICO.
War Department Decides to
Hasten San Juan Expedi-
tiOn.

Washington, July s.-The situation at
Santiago is not a matter of very seri-
Gus concern to the government, except
that there is a desire to have the work
completed as soon as possible in order
that the expedition to Porto Rico may
move right on.
The subject of the cooperation of the
army and navy for the reduction of San
Juan de Porto Rico was gone over thor
oughly by the representatives of the
war and navy at a conference before
Gen. Miles departure. Gen. Miles goes
to Santiago, where the expedition viii
be made up as soon as Santiago has
surrendered. That result is believed to
be impending. It is quite likely to take
place before Gen. Miles arrives.

REFUSED BYJUDGE FOSTER
Application of Otto B. English is De-
MED.

New York for the appointment of a re-
ceiver of the Kansas Cement and Plaster
company of Hope, Dickinson county, has
been refused by Judge Foster of the Unit
ed States circuit court. In his. appHca-
ton English stated that he was the owner
of A shares of stock in the company. and
that since his purchase Of the stock 220
shares, constituting controlling interest,
had been sold to the Wymore Cement
company Of Nebraska and contract
made by which the latter company was to
take the entire product of the former at
less than the cost of production.
The other stockholders admitted that
a contract had been made with the Wy
more company, but denied that the terms
were less than the cost of production. It
was also shown that English had acquir-
ed his A shares through a mortgage of
$500
