SPAIN Sl'ES FOR TEACE.
The Spanish government has cued
fur peace, not indirectly through
the great powers of Europe, but by a
direct appeal to President McKiuley.
The proposition was formally Submit
ted to the President at 3 o'clock yes
terday afternooD by the Freuch am
bassador, M Jules Cauibou, who had
received instructions from the foreigo
office at Paris to deliver to the Uni
ted States government the tender of
peace for and by the Spanish minis
try. At the conclusion of the con
ference between the President and
the French ambassador, the following
official statement was issued from the
While House :
"The French ambassador, on be
half of the government of Spain, and
by the direction of the Spnuish min
ister of foreign affairs, presented to
the President this afternoon at the
White House a message from the
Spanish government looking ' to the
termination of the war and the settle
ment of terms of peace."
THE WAR SEWS.
(Jen. Miles and His Army at Porto Rico.
Troops Landing and Either the Sur
render of tlio Spanish Forces or a
' Fierce Rattle Expected at Any Time.
The American forces under com
mand of Gen. Miles who left for
Porto Rico last week have arrived at
their destination and have landed
uear Ponce.
Affairs at Santiago are not termi
nating as smoothly as they should, as
the Cubans want to run things to
suit themselves and desire immedi
ate control of the surrendered terri
tory, but Uucle Sam will handle the
ribbon there for some time yet.
As to affairs in the Philippines,
and to the frequent rumors that for
eign powers may intrevene, the De
partment of Slate hai no official in
formation of any intention ou the
part of European powers to iuterfere
with this country in the prosecution
or the conclusion of the war. Dis
patches from foreign capitals to this
affect are without foundation.
Regarding the situation in Spain
late dispatches state that peace ru
mors come from every quarter, but
there is no solid opinion, especially
from official quarters, that, infatuated
though tbey may seem, Spain's own
internal necessities will probably
keep the war dragging on. Nothing
short of an attack upon Spain itself,
it is Brgued, will bring Spain to her
knees, and New York dispatches de
clare that this is the ooo thing that
resident McKinley never contem
plated, except as as an extreme re-
sort
And it's all been accomplished
without the O'Higgins.
The military geniuus most needed
in Santiago now is that of Ben Butler
for a rapid and thorough sanitary
overhauling.
Spain's one battle-ship, the Pelayo,
is reported to be in a damaged con
ditiou. If bottled up behind some
fortress she may survive the war.
Both at Santiago and Guantana
mo the Spanish army was larger
than had been reported. The sur
render grows upon close inspection.
The Test of a Policy.
Uuder the American policy of
eeping our money at home to pay
for articles which can he produced to
lvautago in our own factories and
mills the favorite trade balauce for
the past twelve months is, in rouud
umbers, SliOO.OOO.OOO. One effect of
this enormous credit entry in the
atiooal ledger has been to greatly
ncrease the stock of gold in the
United States, the imports of yellow
coin duriug the eleven months euding
with May having exceeded the im
ports by $102,020,085, and added
this large amouut of gold to the
money in circulation in this country.
Formerly, when low Tariff and uo
Tariff was the rule, this $102,026,085
would have come to us in manufac
tured goods and uot in coin. This
method of settling balanees has been
u great measure abolished by the
Dingley Tariff, and Europe is paying
her debts to the United States in
raouey. That is why our country is
full of gold, and why times are good,
and why the Government is able to
float a popular loan of $200,000,000
without any help from banks or for-
eigners. It is a good policy wmcn
brings about sueh results.
Thf scene now shifts to the Morro
and San Juan of Porto Rico. It will
be necessary for Americans to rename
some of these places to prevent con
fusion.
Morro's batteries at Santiago were
not as formidable as was supposed.
But they might have ruined a battle
ship, and that risk was happily
avoided.
Santiago is surprised to find the
American soldiers so well fed. It will
not be long before the citizens d is
cover that the American flag means
abundance.
Admiral Cervera savs he knows
from experience that the Oregon
an eighteen-knot ship, though she is
down on the naval register for fifteen
knots. The Oregon's crew found out
her strong points during her lung run
of 13,000 miles.
Much is said about the distribu
tion of laurels in the naval fight
Santiago. It is well tiot to forget lb
men below decks. The engineers an
firemen had something to do with the
speed of the Brooklyn and Oregon
and tbey took as much personal rib
as the Admirals.
The tremendous exports of manu
factures show that the Uoited States
will not have to depend in the future
upon its agricultural products fur its
balance of trade. In spite of war an
increased home demaod for products
America is the creditor of the world
by an enormous amount.
The Democratic Williamsport
Times becomes quite hysterical over
the fact that Attorney-General Mc
Uornnck bas announced his purpose
to support the Republican candidate
for Governor, and advised his friend
to do likewise. What did our con
temporary expect Mr. McCorroick t
do? It certainly could not bav
thought ho would support the De.nu
cralic candidate, who was nominated
to get only Democratic vote?, not Re

The meeting of the Republican
Statu Committee held in Philadel
phia on Tuesday, July 19th, was
argely attended by leading Republi
cans from every part of the State.
Judge William David Porter, of Al
legheny county, was nomioated for
Judge of the Supreme Court to Gil
the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Wickmao. He had been re
cently appointed by Gov Hasting?;
The action cf the committee will be
heartily endorsed by the party
throughout the State. Judge Porter
bas had many years of experience on
the bench of Allegheny county, and
is known as an able, upright Judge
The onlv other business transacted
was the adoption of a resolution re
questing the State Chairman to ap
point a sub-committee to take fcuch
steps aa may be requjred to secure for
the soldiers at the frout the right to
vote. Complete harmony prevailed
and the meeting lasted ouly about an
hour. Colonel William A. Stoue and
four other candidates ou the State
ticket were introduced after the meet
ing. They' made brief addresses.
The Diugley law is now yielding
about 800,000,000 per year of revenue
more than the Wilson law. In spite
of the decreased imports on accouo
of the war, tht- law has produced
surplus in the last two months, if w
do not take into account the eztraor
dinary war expenditures. It is pro
ducing a bit over a millien a day, and
in normal times would be laying up
a surplus.
