That Fasts Spain
IS BETWEEN TWO FIRES
Or Rather .‘Between The Devil
And The Deep Blue Sea-
Marid, July 13.—The crieb
Jiangs fire. The miuisten still meet
in council and the difficulties of
retirement seem even greater ihan
the difficulties of remaining in
office. The conservatives are no’
prepared to accept office, and it if
hard *o imagine a liberal /•abine>
without an undisputed liberal
leader.
Tie logical conclusion is tha 1
SeDor riugastu mu«t accept tin
reeponbibiity of deciding whether
or not to open peace negotia ions
Senor Sagasti, on being asked
whether a decision had been taken
regarding peace, replied :
‘No. but w hat r medy can theie
be but to make peace?”
The ministerialists assert the
regular army in Cuba does not
object to a conclus’on of peace,
but that the 20,000 volunteers are
determined to continue the war.
The possibility of peace with the
United States is being widely dis
cussed in the newspapers and by
• the publi c. The c< nservative paper
declare Spa n s prepared to accept
peac“ provided it implies only the
loss of Cuba. But they assei t Spain
would prefer war a Poutrance if
the United States should claim
Porto Rico, the Philippines or ai
immense indemnity which would
be impossible for Spain to pay.
Orders have been received by llv
Seville garrison to hold itself sn
readiness to proceed to the defence
of the coasts. It is believed that
the garrison’s destination is a camp
near Gibraltar.
The order is much commented
upon. The American consuls at
Gibraltar and Tangier, it is said,
have bought enormous quantities
of coal and the American collier
are repoited to be between Cape
Spartel on the northwest coast ol
Morocco and Cape St. Vincut.
MINISTER AUNON TALKS.
Madrid, July 12.—Captain
Aunon, the Spanish Minister
of Marine, says: *Tt will take
Admiral Cainara’s w r ar ships
(the Pelayo and Einperado Car
los V.) 10 days to reach Cartag
ena, where there is more safety
The torpedo-boat destroyed s
(the Osado, the Proserpina and
the Audaz) and the auxiliary
cruisers (Patriotia, Rapido,
Beunos Ayres and Isla de Pa
nay will be back sooner and will
go to Cadiz and to Etrol. The
present danger is that if Ameri
ca dispatches her fastest cruisers
with the Oregon, Texas New
York and low a they will waylay
Admirain Ctnnara in the Medit
erranean. The coast defenses will
be ready in 10 days.”

MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION
|n The Great Waterworks Tun
nel in Cleveland, O.
Cleveland, 0., July 12.—Live.-
of eleven men, were snuffed oui
last evening in the big water
works tunnel that is being con
st! noted under the bottom of
Lake Erie as a result of an ex
plosion of gas.
The following are the names
of the killed :
John Parka, foreman, thirty
two years ohiand single.
James Parks, brother of John,
thirty years old and single.
John F. Kadey, an Italian,
twenty-two years old and single.
Tony Brunetti, an Italian,
twenty two years old an 1 single.
John Lamba, an Italian, eigh
teen years old and single.
Emerson Smith, bricklayer,
forty-four years old, married .
John McCauley, twenty-one
years old ; married.
William Tucker, colored,twen
ty-six years old, single. .
Gus Watts, twenty-eight years
old, wife and several children.
Frank Clements, married,
with several children.
Frank Haney, aged twenty
two, not married.
The tunnel is an immense as
s. ir, being proj cted to extend
outward from the shore for a
I
distance of four and and a half
miles, and it has been under
construction for more than a
year.
The explosion occurred at a
few minutes bes re 7 o’clock
last evening, but nobody will
ever be able to tell what caused
it, or how it happened, for every
witness is dead and the bodies
of.all are lying where they fell,
6,000 feet out under the lake.
The only man in the tunnel
who escaped death is Don O’Don
nell, who was standing 3,500
feet from the shore. He heard
the explosion or series of explo
sions. He says there were ten of
the shocks and the concussion
was something terrible, for it
threw him off his feet and for
hours lie was in such a dazed
condition that he could scarcely
remember what had happened.
He finally groped lais way out
and told what had occurred.
A rescuing party was sent into
the tunnel, but failed utterly in
accomplishing anything, as the
structure was filled with foul
gas and smoke.
THE SADNESS OF WAR.
Little Laughter Os A Dead

There is a little girl who site
