Opening o fPeace Negotiations Imply a Cessation of Hostilities.

- . | : } quirocal denials itly, when inquiries were

pegot ations, were seemingly given out at the Spanish capital pris r to Spain’s forma! application at Washingtou for peace. Similar communications intended for home consumption may ts expected to allay

newspapers throughout Europe, at the fact |

that Spain has at at least done the right thing for the first time during the war, and peace is looked upon as being withiu | measurable distance.

Itis taken for granied that the opening ofthe peace negotia ions implies s cessea~ tion of bostilities and it ie believed that the United States was at first unsoflicially ap~ proached and gave a general idea of the | cond iti would insist ov before M.

THE COLONEL’ S STORY.

How Jim Adkins Went to War, Got Buried | and Was Resarrected.

“Talking about war times,’’ said the old colonel, ‘‘did any of you ever hear the story of Jim Adkins?’

**No,”’

‘Well, I'm surprised. Everybody in the settlement knew it. Jim was a no ‘count sort of a fellow, and the old man Was auxious to get rid of him, so when the war broke out and they were Jook- ing around for men the old man gave him away.’’

“Gave him away?”

“Yes. Jim was in the hayloft, and they were about to leave without him when the old man winked and pointed to the barn.

“That was enough, and they got him and marcled him to the front.

“The old man was sorry after Jim Was gone and his conscience hurt him bad. But he hoped for the best, untii oue day he got a message that told him Jim had been killed and baried on the battlefield.

“Then he packed hia grip and started right off to bring Jim’s body home, if possible, for the grief stricken mother would have nothing else and made life Miserable for him with her reproaches.

“He went to Virginia, and wus there informed that it would be impossible to Temove the body. So he stood over the spot where it was buried and wept for three days. Then he went sadly home.

“And, lo and behold, the first man | he met as he neared bis gate was Jim wale, sound and right side up with care !

“It was soms time before the old man could say a word, but when he fonnd it was re ally Jim—in flesh anc d | blood—that they h: ad got Jim mixed up | With some other Adkina, and he hadn’t

been killed at all, the old man was hot! He slowly divested himself of his Coat, then rolied up his sleeves and Made for him! It was the liveliest scrap you ever saw—the old man on top, and the em wallowing in the dust!

The governor replied thatthe Spanish government might rest quite easily, for if Commodore Watson came the au- thorities would ct strictly according fto the (jueen’s proclamation, copies of | which, he said, had just been distributed to all the chief officials of the garrison.

Spain for the last fortnight bas been mak- |ing extensive preparations for the bay of Gibraltar. Twenty guns have just been shipped to Ceuta, and forty bave been | mounted around the bay. There are eleven jthousand men at Aigeciras and 1000 ,engineers working at the batteries and _ fortified trenches behind the cemetery of Linea A couple of guns have been drag~ ged up behiad the Queen of Spain’s chair commanding the north front of these works.

Spain while complyiog with British re- ' presentations, protested privately that the treaty ef Utrecht had been broken so often by the Kaoglish that it had become obsolete.

ACCORDING TO THE LATEST ACCOUNTS.

The Reply to the Peace Proposal Al- most Ready.

{Sreciat tro Toe Examiner. }

Wasuincrox, July 29.—The terms which the United Staces Government will find acceptable as a basis of peace are being reduced to form by Secretary Day,— the President having reached a conclusion on their outlines.

These terms were the forma! act of the the discussion yesterday of tke official circles, although it was stated on Wednes- day that no announcement of the position assumed by the United States in this mat~ ter would be forthcoming before it had been formally discussed in today.

There is the beat reason to believe that after the few conferences the President bad individually with members of his cabine: he has already made up his own mind and that Secretary Day has even now practically reduced to form the reply tha; the United States Government wil] make $to the Spanish Government overtures through Ambassador Cambon .

About the caly point that seems to be open to an amendment of an acceptive character is the disposition of the Philip- pinee.

While the administration has not failed to take notice of the extent of the dem and tor their acquisition by the United States, as exhibited in certain sections of the country, it can be stated that a conclusion has been reached to abide by the first decision on this point, namely, to relinqu-~ ish the islands, retaining a coaling station there, surrounded by a sufficient zone of land to make it self-supporting.

This decision, it is possible, though not probable, may be again changed before the cabinet disposes of the matier today.

1f this point shal! be difficult of settie-~ ment the answer to Spain may not be rendered today but may have to wait until ano:her cabinet meeting next Tuesday.

Bosrox, July 28.—The people of South Boston, more than any other section of the city, will be deeply in the proposec elevation over the approaches to

Of course there will be more or less delay in beginning the work, as the railroad commissioners haye yet to pars upoe the de‘a'ls of construction and see that they are made to conform with tbe laws bearing upon overhead struc tures acros3 the tracks of a steam ra lroad. It is understood that Mayor Quincy has given instructions to the city engineer and street department to prepare plans and estimates for the railroad commissioners which will be presented for their accept~ ance sooo after the board’s vacation ends, atabout the middle of September.
