:London, July 26.—-It is announced in
28. special dispatch from Madrid, pub-
lished here last night, that the Span-
‘tish government has drawn up a mes-
sage addressed to the government at
Washington proposing an armistice for
thepurpose of discussing the terms up-
on which peace with the United States
man be arranged.
.3 A New Cabinet Will Initiate Peace.
_.Madrid, July 26.-—The correspondent
there of the Associated Press has had an
interesting conversation with a person
occupying‘a high position in 'the queen
iregent’s household and whose duties
bring him daily into intimate relations
with her majesty.
He said the quarrel between Spain
and-the United States was much easier
of adjustment than was generally be-
lieved. The queen regent, he contin-
ued, naturally endeavored to avoid war
and, maturally, also, she desires ”an
honorable peace. She is quite alive to
the .force of public opinion and holds
strictly to the constitutional laws of
the nation.
It is an error to suppose the queen
regent is under the pressure of the
present or any government, or that she
is regardless of public opinion when it
is in consonance with the true interests
of the‘Spanish people.
The official referred to then added an
' important statement, saying:
“The' present., government will not
initiate peace; but a modified cabinet,
headed by Senor Gamazo (minister of
public instruction) will conclude the
negotiations and then retire and Gen-
eral Polavioja, with a combination in-
cluding Senor Silvala and General
Campos, will reorganize the country.
“Everybody considers Spain should
treat direct with the Americans, whose
practical good sense will prevail over
spreadeagleism.
Paris, July 26.--’Private letters receiv-
ed here from Madrid under date of July
23, announce that the internal disor-
ders in the Spanish provinces continue.
Some demonstrations have taken
place at Granada, supposed to be due
to the opposition manifested toward
the octrol tax and owing to other local
disputes. But in view of the rigorous
censorship on all questions of public
order, it is difficult to ascertain the
facts. - ’
At Gariga, in the province of Barce~
Iona, a mob recently fired on the gen-
darmes and an armed band, said to
have been composed of jail birds, has
appeared at Bance and Valdorras. The
police are pursuing the members of the
band, but thus far, the efforts of the
authorities to capture them have been
futile. .
Great precautions were taken at the
open air theatre in the Buen Retiro
gardens in Madrid on the evening of
Friday, July 22, owingto an expected
demonstration in favor of General
Weyler, who was present, but nothing
developed.

The Feeling at Washington. ..
| Washington, July 26.--Although the
report from Madrid that the Spanish
government had determined to apply
for an armistice reached Washington
yesterday, there was no evidence that
any application had yet been received.
911 the contrary the strongest kind of
‘ denial was forthcoming from the de-
partment'of state that any negotiations ,
were in progress, or even begun. There
is a shrewd susmcion here that the
Spanish government is putting outaam
other “feeler” for the purpose of test-'
ing ”popular sentiment. ,
One thing is absolutely assuredly no
proposal for a. mere armistice will be
considered. If Spain wants peace, she
must come out flatly and say so. When
she has made this kind of an approach
in obvious good faith, an armistice can
be arranged without difficulty, so as
to give a. breathing spell to both com-
‘ batants, during which they can agree
upon terms of a treaty. “ N...

learned to-day that a remarkable de-
monstration occurred Saturday evening
at Camp Long, on Seavey’s island,
where the captured sailors 'of Admiral
Cervera’s ships are confined.
I As the United States gunboat Frolic
passed the island on her way to Cuba. ,
hundreds of the prisoners greeted the
vessel with cheers and waving of
hands. The ovation took the Ameri-‘
cans by surprise. .
..-The outburst was regarded by those
in charge of the camp as a result of
good treatment received. here by the
”Spaniards, who took‘ this method of
expressing their gratitude.
Surgeon McPherson said that. the

FOUR SMALL SHIPS DID ALL
The Fight
Full Details of Thursday. Battle. Every-
thing Went Our Way as. Usual. The
Fine Cuban Harbor of Nipe Now Open
to Our Fleet. The Forts Fired and
Mines Were Exploded but No Damage
Was Done to Our Ships.
Key West, July 24.--The cruiser To-
peka arrived here Saturday morning
from Nipe, Santiago province, with de-
tails of the fight of Thursday, July 21.
in which four small American warships
entered the bay, took three forts and
sank a Spanish gunboat.
The Wasp, Leyden, Topeka and An-
napolis had been blockading the coast
about Nipe for a week or more. Ad-.
miral Sampson for some time had had
his eye on the harbor, which is ten
miles long and four deep, has deep wa-
ter and will make an admirable base
for colliers and warships. On Thurs-
day he issued orders to take the har-
bor. ,
The entrance is narrow and protect-
ed on the western side by a small fort,
where there is a signal station, from
which it was believed mines laid across
the channel were to be operated. On
the eastern side was another small
fort.
The Leyden led the way, followed by
the Wasp, Topeka and Annapolis. As
she passed through the narrow channel
entrance into the harbor two mines
were exploded near the TOpeka. One
blew up a column of water one hunv-
dred yards ahead of her and the other
was two hundred yards on the port
quarter. '
As soon as the forts at the entrance
were in range the ships opened on
them ,with all guns. They replied, but
their shots were wild and ten minutes
of American gunnery drove the men
from the batteries. They could be seen
scampering in all directions to get out
of range. Both forts were deserted by
the time the American ships were in
the channel, and the little squadron
passed into”, the- harbor safely.
Once in the broad bay they saw the
Spanish cruiser Jorge Juan lying off
Mangle Point, on the eastern side of the
harbor. The American ships circled
around the western shore, and when
within 4,000 yards range, opened on
her; She replied wildly for a few min-
utes, but her crew were unable to
stand the rain of shot andatook to their
boats after a battle of fifteen minutes’
duration.
Their ship was then settling in the
water, and seeing that she was aban-
doned, each of the American vessels
sent boats out to her. ’ By the time
they reached her the cruiser was on
the bottom, with only her upper works
above water. The "Wasp’s men got the
Spanish colors. The sunken cruiser
was a vessel of 960 tons and carried
three 4.7-inch guns, two 2.8-inch guns
and two small rapid fire rifles. She
was 203Ifeet long. Her whole bow had
been torn away by the American fire,
but whether her sinking was due to
her injuries or to scuttling is not now
known. <
Beyond Mangle Point is Point de la
Mercedes, oniv’vhich are a small town
and a, fort. Having finished with the
cruiser, the Topeka landed two shells
in this fort, and the shots were an-
swei‘edbe-a white flag. The work was
now done, except for a search for two
small gunboats; mounting one gun
eachu'which the~Cubanssaid were in
the ,‘harbor. he Wasp and ' Leyden
went in ,search of them in the inlet.
The'v'l‘opeka left for Key West at 3
o’clock, "and up to that time the gun-
boats had‘not been found. It is prob-
able that they ran up the. Mayora
river. n - — ‘ ‘- .7
According to the. Cubans the harbor
forts were garrisoned by 500 soldiers.
Our» loss was nothing. How many
Spaniards were killed is not known.
On the'way to Key West the Topeka
passed the Puritan, Terror, Cinoinnati
and Montgomery. These vessel's signal-
'led'tha‘t they were 'going to Nip‘e.
After the fight it was found that the
channel was well sown with mines.
The Wasp and yden are now at
Work taking them up to allow of the
entnance of the other vessels without
danger.
W'hile about the Jorge Juan the An:-
erican jackies dived to 'the cabin. and
brought up .a number of souvenirs. One ‘
was a board on which was painted the
motto “Be brave and you will get back
to Spain.',’.
' Thirty Tune of Gold Moved.
New York, 'July 25.--One of the larg-
est transfers of gold‘ever made in this
city took place Saturday, when $9,000,-
000 in gold was transferred from the
vaults of the clearinghouse into the
strong boxes of the sub-treasury.
This transfer was made by the clear-
ing house as the representative of the
associated banks, and was the final
payment of deposits aggregating 816,-
000,000, representing in weight thirty
tons of the precious metal. These de-
posits were all made during the week.

Santiago, Julv 23, via Kingston, Ja-
~maica, Julv 24.--General Shafter has
sent the following letter in reply to the
communication addressed to him by
General Garcia, in which the Cuban
leader complained of the treatment ac-
corded to the Cubans and announced
the withdrawal of his trOops from fur-
.ther co-operation with the Ameri-
cans.
“I must say that I was very much
surprised at the receipt of your letter
this morning, and regret exceedingly
that you should regard yourself as in
any way slighted or aggrieved.
“You will remember the fact that I
invited you to-‘accompany me into the
town of Santiago to witness the surren-
der, which you declined.
“This war, as you know, is between
the United States and Spain. and it is
out of the question for me to take any
action in regard to your force-s in con-
nection with the surrender, which was
made solely to the American army.
“The policy of my government in con-
tinuing in power temporarily the per-
sons occupying the offices is one which
I am, of course, unable to discuss. To
show you the views held by my gov—‘
ernment I inclose a copy of the instruc-
tions received by me yesterday from
the president, which appear to cover
everything that can possibly arise in
the government of this territory while
It is held by the United States.
“Full credit has been given to you
and your valiant men in my report to
my government, and I wish to acknowl-
edge to you’ the great and valuable as-
sistance you rendered during the cam-
paign.
“I regret very much to know of your
determination to withdraw yourself
from this vicinity. I remain yours very
sincerely, SHAFTER,
Major General.
General Garcia has withdrawn his
troops from the vicinity of the city.
Moderate Cubans dread the accession
to power of the Cubans as much as the
Spaniards do. President McKinley’s
proclamation announcing that property
rights would be respected and the law
enforced has produced a feeling of re-
lief among the Spaniards, who feared
the confiscation of their property. A
great many Spaniards will remain in
Santiago instead of returning to Spain.
The Cuban non-combatants are pre-
paring a petition to President McKin-
ley asking the removal of- the Spanish
office holders. They say'that the Cu-
bans were struggling for liberty when
the Americans intervened to expel the
Spaniards. Hence all of the Spanish
authorities should be excluded.

merly of the Rough Riders, has enter-

With the exception of a few encoun-
ters in the suburbs the city is quiet.
Shops are opening, and business gener-
ally is picking up. The Spaniards. both
the soldiery and the civilians, bear no
animosity toward the Americans, but
they speak very bitterly of the Cubans.
‘The Ninth regular infantry are the only
’troops in the city, and they have not
the slightest difficulty in maintaining
order. The Spanish soldiers are anx-
lous to leave for Spain atthe earliest
.possible moment. General Toral has
notified'the First division to prepare for
cmbark-ation on July 24.
The Red Cross supplies have all been
landed from the steamer State of Texas
and are piled up in the customs shed.

Nearly All Lines of Trade Show 2: Vol-
ume of Business Greater Than Before.
New York, July 23.--A state of war
does not disturb business. But reac-
tion after a phenomenal movement of
grain causes relative loss, which many
mistake for decrease in the volume of
trade. So much grain has been requir-
ed and shipped during the past twelve
months that a decrease was inevitable.
and Granger and Pacific roads show a
loss in earnings, even compared with
1892, though not much yet compared
with last year. Owing to this the ag-
gregate of railroad earnings during the
first half of July hs been 3.2 per cent.
larger than last year, and 6.2 per cent.
smaller than in 1892. Yet the volume of
business has not decreased. Payments
through clearing houses for the past
week show increase over last year of
4.5 per cent. and 10.9 per cent. OVer
1892. Last year the week was exceed-
ingly busy, but for the monththus far
payments have been 9.1 per cent. great-
er than last year, and 9.0 per cent. lar-
ger than in 1892. In spite of the. great
decline in prices, the business done is
in volume greater than ever, and in
quantities greater than in value.
In the stagnant midsummer season,
with business larger than ever before,
the great manufacturers nearly all
share the gain. Once before, in 1895,
with an extraordinary small movement
prior to July, the shipments of boots
and shoes was larger than this year,
but in no other year have shipments in
three weeks of July been as large.
There is an increased demand for
woolen goods, although in some lines
slow and disappointing, but the num-
ber of establishments at work increases
though the mills are not yet assured of
satisfactory prices. Only 5,233,200 lbs.
wool were sold last week, and in three
weeks only 12,879,900 at the three chief
markets, of which 8,629,700 were domes-
tic, against 34,124,700 last year, and 23,-
347,550 in the same weeks of 1892, 18,-
509,000 being domestic.
The iron manufacture seems to be at
the verge of another revolution, since
Bessemer big is held by curtailment of
production in the Shenango and Maho-
ning valleys, at $10.25 at Pittsburg, and
yet some steel works have made enor-
mous sales of billets, 100,000 tons to the.
great wire association at prices un-
known, 20.000 tons to various parties at
Chicago at 815.75, and 20,000 tons at
Pittsburg at $14.75. The demand for
structural forms»keeps all the works
busy, and includes for the week 3,500
tons at Chicago in three contracts, and
7,800 at Pittsburg in four others, while
the plate mills are everywhere crowded,
sheets and bars are both in better de-
mand than heretofore, and the prolong-
ed weakness in cast pipe, which usually
requires nearly 700,000 tons of pig in a
year, may presently be cured. Heavy
sales of Lake copper have fixed the
price at 11 1-2 cents, and the output for
the last half year has been 120,487 tons
American, against 40,880 tons foreign,
output considerably exceeded half the
American. Tin at 15.55 cents, lead at
3.92 1-2 cents, are both a shade weaker.
With abatement of foreign needs and
prospect of excellent crops in many for-
eign countries, wheat has declined dur-
ing the week three cents in price, not-
withstanding the exports from Atlantic
portsamounting to 1,937,092 bushels,
flour included, against 1,516,997 last
year, and from Pacific ports 577,755
bushels, against 89,523 last year. Total
exports for three Weeks have been 7,-
399,259 bushels, fl-ou-r included, against
5,194,488 last year. Corn still‘ goes
abroad in astonishing quantity, all the
circumstances considered, exports hav-
ing been in three weeks 5,077,847 bush-
els, against 6,635,395 last year. The
price has not changed in spite of the
decline in wheat. - -
Foreign trade has not corresponded
with the startling exhibit for the past
year, imports falling but I per cent.
behind last year’s for July, while ex-
ports have increased only 24 per cent.
But in the long run it will not pay to
ignore the course of general business,
which is steadily advancing. Failures
in two weeks of July have been 83,-
405,833 in amount, against $2,815,842 last
year, $8,214,281 in 1896, $6,599,751 in 1895,
and $6,317,696 in 1894. Manufacturing
have been $1,635,365, against $1,189,010
last year, and $4,187,733 in 1896, and
trading have been $1,537,768, against 81,-
605,233 last year, and $3,399,847 in 1896.
Failures for the week have been 207
in" ‘the United States, against 22-7 last
year, and 17 in Canada against 28 last
. year.
THE CH ICAGO AFLOA-T.
.—
Reptalrs Made on the Cruiser, Which Has
Been Considerably Strengthened.
Brooklyn, July 23.--Another cruiser
will be added to the navy within a few
days. She is the Chicago which has
undergone extensive alterations and r3-
' pairs at the navy yard for the past few
months. In the new Chicago, which
'was floated from dry dock No. 2 yes-
terday morning, the old Chicago could
:not be recognized. Her old engines
were removed and replaced by modern
‘engines of high power, two manganese
Ibronze propellers have been put in
4 place of the old screw, there is a com—
plete electric plant and boiler tube sys-
tem on the vessel and it is expected
that today the new rapid fire guns
will be in place.
I Probably no cruiser in the United
States navy has undergone such ex-
tensive repairs. The Chicago will be
manned by a crew picked from the re-
ceiving ship Vermont, and will in all
probability be placed in commission
this week.
