sagasta Says American Actions Arc Des-
titute OF Good Faith.
LONDON, July 2s.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
"Spain will probably protest against
an attack upon Porto Rico after the
Washington cabinet has officially re-
ceived Spanish overtures for peace
Should circular note on this subject
be sent to the powers, it will contain
the exact dates of the Spanish COM
munlcations, making it clear that the
United States deferred its answer in
order to be able to date this after the
American forces had gained footing
in Porto Rico. Senior Sagasta says:
we resolved on peace many days ago
and made known our resolutions to
the United States government. l re-
gard as null and void and as destitute
of good faith everything that the
Americans have done since and am
ready to protest against it formally"
BERLIN, July 2s.-The National Ga
zette says: "Although Americas haste
to obtain a footing in Porto Rico is
rather contrary to the strict rules of
military usage, it is perhaps justified
by the assumption that its conquest
will place America in a better position
to dictate terms of peace. If Spain is
unable to pay indemnity, America has
a right to demand an enforced compen-
satiou."

SAN FRANCISCO, July 29.-The steam
err Mariposa arrived from Australia
and Honolulu, bringing the following
correspondence to the Associated Press:
Honolulu, July 20.-The steamship
Coptic arrived from San Francisco on
the evening of the 10 inst, with the
important news that the United States
senate had ratified the Newlands law,
making Hawaii part of the United
States. When the vessel reached the
harbor pandemonium reigned. The
whistles of the foundries, mills and
steamers were turned loose, fireworks
were exploded and one hundred guns
were fred on the grounds of the eX-
ecutive building. The Hawaiian band
started out and marched through the
streets playing American patriotic airs.
An immense procession was formed
and march was made to the executive
building. Captain Sealby, Of the Cop
tic, was presented with a silver cup by
the citizens of Honolulu for bringing
the news. The leading men of Homo
lulu met and recommended Harold
Sewall, United States minister to
Hawaii, for governor of the islands.
1t had been generally thought that
President Dole W ould be their choice.

s'There is still an endeavor to keep
alive the impression that something is
going on behind the scenes in the d.

is that the war will continue until the
fall of Manila and the invasion of Porto
Rico. Peace is impossible until there
is more unanimity in Spain with regard
to the necessary sacrifices of territory.

understanding, will await the march
of events. A cabinet crisis has been
averted for the time being"

The Animals Rescued by tho Heroic
Efforts Of Two Women.
WATERLOO, July 27.-The large horse
barns and track stables of the Red
Cross farm, owned by NJ. N. Hender-
son, of Waterloo, burned to the ground,
entailing loss of $50 One young
PAGER, valued at $500, the property of
B. Striegel, was burned. The origin
of the fire was undoubtedly incendiary.
The flames started at a time when
none of the employees were about.
Two women, Mrs. George Dunsford
and Mrs. Charles Welsted, who reside
near the track, first noted the fire, and
as no help was available, themselves
loosed the horses from their box stalls
and drove them from the burning
building, though at great danger to
themselves. The track harnesses.
speed stables and all other buildings,
seven in number, were totally des-
troyed, the ampitheatre alone being
saved. A number of cattle and hogs
contained in one of the farm buildings
were also burned.

National Firemcn's Tournament.

Fred A. Wood, president and man
ager of the National Firemen's Asso-
citation, in conjunction with the man
agers of the Trans-Mississippi EXPOSE
ton. is arranging for a national
fremen's tournament to be held on the
opposition grounds from September
5th to 10th Prizes amounting to
$4,000 in value are offered by the
National Firemen's Association, and
similar amount of money will be ex-
pended by the exposition directors in
the erection of buildings and prepare
ton of the ground for the tournament.
A building will be put up for the daily
contests in coupling, hitching, ETC.,
and other buildings in which fire ex-
tinguishing apparatus will be dis
PLAYED. Several cheap structures will
also be erected for the express pur-
pose of being set on fire. But little
pressed brick or iron will enter into
their construction, but it is promised
that the competing fire companies will
not allow any of them to burn to the
ground The railroads have agreed to
make very low rates for the tourna-
ment, and it is expected that $4,000
firemen and their friends will be in
dGICHIldlCC.
The last national firemen's tourna-
ment was held at Chicago twenty
years ago. At that time there were
but two state firemens associations in
the country, whereas there is now one
in nearly every state, twenty-seven
state associations being represented in
the national association. The tourna-
| 1nent to be held at Omaha in the fall
| will be very much more elaborate than
was attempted at Chicago in 1878.
| There will be three times as many
contests and very much larger num-
Der of competing companies Already
over fifty have signitied their intention
of taking part, and it is probable that
nearly every state in the union will be
represented. Several of the crack paid
companies, including those of Kansas
City, St. Paul, indianapolis and Mil
waul1ee, will send their most speedy
hitchers and couplers. and some very
fast work is promised in the several
| competitions.

FLOWING MADE EASY.
4 New 1nvention-A stone Dodcer"
piOW. ...

New Invention-A "Stono Dodger''
From the Farm Implement News.
The Fuller & Johnson Mfg. Co., of
Madison, Wisconsin, have brought out
a new implement, namely, riding
plow, that is attracting much atten-
ton wherever it is seen. Heretofore
there has been very serious objection
to the riding pillow where there is stone.
In striking a stone not only has there
been danger of breaking the pillow and
harness, but the blow on the shoulders
of the horses was very injurious, and
worse than all, the driver was in dan
ger Of being thrown Off and injured.
These objections are overcome in this
appropriately named "stone dodger
pillow. When it strikes stone the plow
part only is raised up and slides over
the stone and pulls itself into the
ground again without any action on the
part of the driver. The sulky part IS
not raised at all. A. boy or an old man
who can handle the team can thus
readily do the blowing.
So much interest has been taken N
this pillow wherever it has been shown
that the manufacturers have adopted
novel plan to aid in presenting its man
fest advantages to the farming COM
munity. They are having large num-
Der of models made and in any section
where there is no sample plow that
can readily be seen, any reputable
farm can, by writing to the company.
have model sent to him by express
for inspection, without expense to him.
the company Paying expressage both
ways. The farmer, after examination,
simply returns it to the express office.
The model is a nice piece of work. 1t
weighs only ten pounds. The plow is
made as a single plow for three horses
and as a double or gang for four horses.
A very effective potato planting attach
ment can be had with these ploWs a.
small extra cost.

SPAIN SUES FOR PEACE.
Proud Spirit Of the Naughty Dons II
/ Humbled.

l IT, 4AuAuUACNs .
! WASHINGTON, July 27.-The Spanish
government has sued for peace, not in
directly, through the great powers Of
Europe, but by direct appeal to Pres
iident Mckinley. The proposition was
formally submitted to the president
lat o'clock yesterday afternoon by
the French ambassador, M. Jules Cam
bon, who had received instructions
from the foreign Office at Paris to de-
liver to the government the tender of
peace formulated by the Spanish min
istry. At the conclusion of the con-
ference between the president and the
French ambassador, the following
official statement was issued from the
white house:
s'The French ambassador, on behalf
of the government of Spain, and by
direction of the Spanish minister OF
foreign affairs, presented to the presi-
dent this afternoon at the white house
q message from the Spanish govern
:ment looking to the termination of the
war and the settlement Of terms OF
peace"
! SPANS communication is general in
terms and does not make any distinct
propositions as to Cuba, the Philip
pines or any other possession. 1t is
simply request that peace negotia-
lions be opened. No armistice is pro-
posed. After Ambassador Cambon
submitted the proposal a general talk
followed between him, the president,
Secretary Day and NJ. Thiebaut. The
president reserved his answer. an
understanding being reached that he
would at once lay the subject before
the cabinet and then invite NJ. Cambon
to another conference at the white
house, when the final answer will be
given as to the willingness of this
government to open negotiations. The
proposal for peace was most thoroughly
canvassed last night by the president
and most of the members of the cab
met, the meeting being rather in
formal. At the conclusion of the
meeting it was the opinion of several
members of the cabinet that the offer
to begin negotiations would be accept
ed. Meanwhile, until the negotiations
have advanced much further, the plans
of the campaign and the war will go
forward with vigor.
: WASHINGTON, July est is said that
If Spain gives assurance that an arm
istice will be followed by a treaty of
peace on certain general lines it is
probable the president will agree to
an armistice
