of thus insuring real and lasting peace
and terminating the progressive in
crease of armament.
The text of the note follows: 1.-THE
maintenance of general peace and the
possible reduction of the excessive ar
maments which weigh upon all ma
tions present themselves in existing
conditions to the whole world as an
ideal toward which the endeavors of
all governments should be directed.
The humanitarian and magnanimous
ideas of his majesty, the emperor, my
august master, have been won over to
this view in the conviction that this
lofty aim is in conformity with the
most essential interests and legitimate
views of all the powers; and the impe-
rial government thinks the present
moment would be very favorable to
seeking the means.
"The financial charges following the
upward march strike at the very root
of public prosperity. The intellectual
and physical strength Of the nations,
labor and capital, are mostly diverted
from their natural application and are
unproductively consumed. Hundreds
of millions are devoted to acquiring
terrible engines of destruction, which,
though to-day regarded as the last
work of science, are destined to-mor-
row to lose all their value in conse-
quence of some fresh discovery in the
same field. National culture, economic
progress and the production of wealth
are either paralyzed or checked in de-
velopment. Moreover, in proportion
as the ornaments of each power in
crease, they less and less fulfill the OBJ
iect the governments have set before
themselves.
"The economic crisis, due in great
part to the system of ornaments,
loutrance, and the continual danger
which lies in this massing Of war ma
terial are transforming the armed
peace of our days into a crushing bur-
den which the peoples have more and
more difficulty in bearing.
sit appears evident that, if this
state of things were to be prolonged,
it would inevitably lead to the very
cataclysm it is desired to avert, and
the horrors thereof make every think
ing being shudder in advance.
"To put an end to these increasing
ornaments and to seek the means of
warding off the calamities which are
threatening the whole world-such is
the supreme duty to-day imposed upon
all states.
"Filled with this idea, his majesty
has been pleased to command me to
propose to all the governments whose
representatives are accredited to the
imperial court the assembling of a
conference which shall occupy itself
with this grave problem

MUZZLE PUT ON THE CORTES
Premier Sagasta Will Not Permit a
Debate of the War.
THE DEPUTIES GIVEN ORDERS.
Holds That a Discussion OF the Disasters
ut Manila, Santiago and Porto Rico
VIII BE ul-Advlsed and Calculated to
Complicate Peace Work.

MADRID, Aug. 29.-Senor Sagasta,
the premier, is quoted as having in the
course of an interview, made state
ments declaring that 1t was the gov
ernment's intention to repress the dis
cussion of war topics in the cortes.
He said that as soon as the cortes met
the government would submit bill
authorizing peace negotiations and
next measure relating to the sup
preston of the constitutional guar
antees. Although Senior Sagasta did
not state the nature of this measure,
it is supposed that it will provide for
the continuation of suspension.
"The government, said the premier,
'will not discuss in any form the qhes-
tions of peace and war. Indeed, the
deputies would be entirely lacking in
the material necessary for decision
The debate could not be issued on con-
crete, positive facts, founded on indis-
putable documents, since the necessary
information has not yet arrived. be-
lieve that no discussion of the surren-
der of Santiago and Manila will occur,
nor of the destruction of the Spanish
feet, unless trustworthy data and ex-
act proofs are at hand; moreover, no
discussion is permissible of matters at
present under consideration of the SUI
preme councils of war and marines.
Mistakes or plumbers may have been
committed, but thus far we have not
sufficient material to judge.
Another reason why peace and
war should not be discussed is that
diplomatic relations are now being
carried on and debate on these sub
jects might be provocative of undesir-
able complications. 1t must not be
said that peace is signed and discus
sion is now allowable. Peace is not
signed. Spain is still at war with the
United States. The two nations have
merely concluded suspension of hos
tilities in order to negotiate peace.
These negotiations might be brought
to a successful issue, but it might hap
pen that hostilities will be recon-
menced.
"Should they ask to have the docu-
ments concerning the surrender of
Santiago and Manila and the destruc-
ton of the fleet now in the govern
ment's possession, the government
would not accede to the request.
These papers are in the hands of SUI
preme councils, which alone, before
the proclamation of peace, can conduct
inquiries and establish responsible
ties. The inquiries may result in ac-
quittals or severe sentences, even the
capital penalty"
Senior Romero Robledo, the Weyler-
tie leader, declares he will strongly
oppose Senior Sagasta's plan of sup
pressing debates in the cortes. If the
government refuses to divulge official
documents on the war, Senior Robledo
says he will utilize reliable press re-
ports.
Other opposition leaders are of the
same mind. The debates are likely to
be stormy. Cuban bonds are buoyant,
owing to the belief that powerful
European pressure, both diplomatic
and financial, will be brought to COM
pei America to oblige Cuba herself to
recognize some of the Cuban issues.

TRAVEL VEST THIS YEAR.

The Tourist ,Jek5 the MOUNTAINS rsashoE
Than the Soashor and Lake.
The periods of Western migration OF
people vary with the years. some
times the attractions of the East over
come the distaste to long travel, and
the food of excurslonists Is in that d.
rection. but, latterly, the beauties and
benefits of Colorado scenery and air
have tipped the scales OF doubling
minds in favor of the great central
summer resort OF the continent. The
present summer has been western
resort epoch, largely because the rail
roads have established and maintained
unsurpassed facilities for comfortable
travel. and the desirability of the To-
cation has become widely known
throw n judicious advertising.
: TIL, great game preserves and the
rivers stocked with finest specimens OF
the finny tribe the vigorous mountain
air. the gathering of pleasant people
at first class hotels, and the proximity
10 home and business If required, have
nrOved stronger attractions than the
sea coast and the Northern lake re-
gions. The vast mineral resources OF
Colorado have tempted the watchful
business man to combine something OF
business with his outing, too, and as
consequence of all these reasons travel
to the West has been unsurpassed this
wear and the state has found new
friends and gained new tongues to tell
Its praise.
It is a matter of such great import
ance that comfort shall be a striking
feature of travel that the tourist as
we'll as the daily traveller in pursuit OF
business should select his route with
care and Judgment. The Missouri Pa
cific, with Its many branches affords
opportunity for all the people to use its
magnificent trains as far as Pueblo,
and there the Denver & Rio Grande
road. with It's justly bestowed celebri-
ty for piercing the most beautiful seen
ery of the mountain wilds, continues the
care and watchfulness which has been
so readily observed on the route to
Pueblo, and with every comfort at hand
and inspiring scenery round about, the
traveller finds himself at his destina-
ton unwearied. satisfied and ready for
what Fate has In store for the future.
It Is a mental treat and rest as well
as a physical relief from heat and la
Dor. and should be provided Cor in the
yearly itinerary as much as the pro-
vision for the habilaments which Gus
tom prescribes. f. P. Baker.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 29.-Because
Lieutenant Colonel Little wrote to
Governor Leedy recommending certain

known in the camp there was ill feel

Lieutenant Colonel Little. Its growth
has been watched with increasing in
terest from day to day and lately there
have been many predictions Of an open
rupture. 1t came last night. Colonel
Funston then made discovery that
made his blood boil. He has laid the
matter before General Miller and there
is every prospect that Colonel Little
will have to answer to serious charges
before court martial.
