 Observers thought the lads would be drowned and the police were noti- fed. They seized the boys. The lads made desperate kicking and scratch ing resistance for minute, then, real. izing the futility of giving battle to superior forces, capitulated.
 After their surrender they were talk. en to the Aurora jail, carrying with them their provisions-si loaves of bread and two cans of tomatoes.
 The police seized their munitions of war. The boat was tied up and the former owner sent for it.
 Fenced in by iron bars, the boys be came lamblike. They declared for peace and the calm of home life again.
 The boys are said to have stolen the revolvers from the elder brother of Martz.

THE historic old ship Santee, which | recently sank at her dock at the Annapolis Naval Academy, has been abandoned by the naval authorities and will be sold to the highest bidder with the understanding that he re- move her at his own expense. An in spection of the vessel shows that she is waterlogged and beyond repair for naval purposes. She rests on the muddy bottom of the Severn with the water about twelve feet above her water line and probably never will float again.
 Naval officers have an affection for the cid Santee, based on recollections of their student days at the academy. For many years she was used as a practice ship by the midshipmen, and when no longer able to navigate, was transformed into a prison ship for the

 REACH AGREEMENT
Regularly Constituted Peace Conference Needed to
 Terminate War

Geneva, Switzerland, August 3o.-The l vie wthat the Turko-Italian WAT can
 only be terminated by regularly eonsti-
 tuted peace conference of an interna-
 tional character is rapidly spreading in diplomatic circles here
 "Conversations.e between unofficial
 Italian and Turkish delegates have been
 slowly dragging on for weeks. They have
 met at zeurich, Lausanne, Caux and
 Evian without reaching anything like a solution of the main points separating
 the two belligerents.
 The delegates themselves lack all au-
 thorty or power of initiative and are simply irving to find out the demands of the other side.
 In the indehniteness of the situation Is
 found the reason why the Turkish heir
 presumptive interrupts his Journey to
 Lausanne and remained in the vicinity of Vienna.
 IL Is thought in influential quarters
 here, that, unless more rapid progress
 is made the signatories of the treaty of
 Berlin will feel compelled to call a Eu- ropean congress and bring the com
 batants together
 There appears also to be a possibility that the arrangement of the Balkan sit
 nation will be simultaneously brought up
 for discussion.
 Paris France, August 3O.--Vrtually a
 deadlock has been reached In the unof- | icial peace conversations between Italian and Turkish delegates in Switzerland, according to a dispatch to the Matin | today. Italy will not admit any discuss
 sion of her seizure of Libya, in 1ripoli-
 tanla, and has refused all propositions to l leave part of the interior, or of the coast of Cyrenaica to Turkey She asks as a
 condition of signing d treaty Cf peace 1 that Turkey withdraw her forces from | I4ibya. Italy agrees not to require recog-
 nition by Turkey of the Italian oceupa-
 tion of Tripolitania. She also will accept 1 the religious authority of the Sultan of Turkey She is prepared to pay a large | indemnity to Turkey, and is ready to evacuate the islands in the Aegan sea. I and make other concessions. Turkel, on the other hand, declares that these pro- posals are insufficient Turkish public | opinion would not accept the cession of | I.ibya against sums of money, it was argued while the acceptance by Italy of
 the religious authority of the Sultan in 1 Tripolitania is no concession since the | Mussulman of that country, in spite of 1 the Italians, always recognize him as head of the faith Nor is the evacuation of the islands in the Aegan sea regarded as a concession because the powers will not allow Italy to keep them For these reasons Turkey is waiting for Italy to find some other scheme.
