PORTENDS EAR -.Y PEACE.

Madrid July 16.—The official
GazetP PU blisbeß a r °y al decree
temporarily suspending through
tt' e Spanish peninsula the
rights of individuals as guaran
teed by the constitution.
The decree adds that the gov
ernment will render an account
to parliament of the use it may
ina ke of this measure.
The publication of the decree
is generally accepted as being
convincing proof that Spain is
now ready to sue for peace and
that negotiations to that effect
are actually in progress.
The government wishes to
have full power to suppress any
evidences of discontent or rebel
lion whenever they appear. The
Carlists are furious and are sure
to attempt to create trouble.
One minister expressed the
conviction that official overtures
for peace will be made before
Sunday and there is reason to
believe France has offered her
services to Spain and that Spain
has drawn up conditions for
piace which offer a basis for
negotiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as
saying that Spain wants peace,
butthat “it must be an honora
ble peace, as S ain deserves.
■The army,” he added, “is
anxious to resist to the last, but
the government cannot consent
to such a useless sacrifice. Ilad
we our ti iet the situation would
be very different.”
A decree of the captain gener
al of Madrid, which has been
nrtixed to the w ills of this city, j
S"s decrees suspending tl.e
constitutional guarantees
throughout the kingdom have
been published, and a state of
war existing, it is ordered that
no meetings take place without
the previous authorization any
writings, engravings or designs
whatever.
The degree concludes with
specifying the punishment which
will be meted uut to those who
disiegard the orders issued.
Tao minister of w ir, Gmeral
Correa, is quoted as saying, in
an interview, that he thought
nonce might be arranged on the
following terms:
“The United St ites and Spain
to agree to let the Cubans decide
by a plebiscite whether they de
sire independence or autonomy
under Spain, the two govern
ments to agree to abide by the
result of the plebiscite.
“In the event of the Cubans
voting for independence, the
United States to allow Spain
uine months in which to with
draw her army gradually and
digiiiliedly from Cuba, a» sol
disrs should after having fought
like heroes.”
Continuing, the minister for
*ar said:
“We ought to retain Porto
at all costs, in order to be
al ' v ‘ys near Cuba, of which the
Americans will be able to des-
P l i us in course of time, and in
01 ler to more easily communi-
c de with the S >uth American
re pib’i. :S) W hi c h duly displays

As to the Philippine islands,

GEN. AMOBFOX
Makes an Appeal to Mayor
And Citizens of Rome.
ASKd ’HE HILL CITY TO
Do Her Share Towards Geor
gia’s Entertainment of Vets.
Headquarters: Room 112 Kim
ball House.
Atlansa, Ga., July 6, ’yß
To the Mayor and Citizens of
Rome, Ga. Sirs :—The Reunion
of Confederate Veterans will be
held in this city July 20—23
next. They will be the guests of
our state. It is desired to give
them royal welcome. To do this,
we want your cordial and gener
ous assistance.
The Reunion of 1896 was
held in Richmond, Va , and the
great people of the “Old Domin
ion” united in according the
Veterans loving welcome.
No less grand was the sponta
neous entertainment given them
bp the loyal-hearted Tennessee
ans in Nashville in 1897.
Georgia must not, and with
your aid shall not be excelled in
this regard, by either of these
great states.
The Cons derate Veterans As
sociation of Nashville called on
the people of Tennessee for sup
plies with which ‘o feed the
many worthy Veterans who
could not afford hotel expenses
That call was responded to with
lavish profusion.
In like manner do we call on
the people of Geergia, and all
who cherish the memories of the
“Lost Cause,” and who honor
the survivors ot that cause, t*
show their appreciation by liber
al contributions of provisions
and supplies, or money. Money
is more desirable, as provisions
can be procured here, and save
express and freight. Every dol
lar will be applied solely for the
use of the commissaries.
The General Commanding the
Georgia Division U. C. V. has
appointed Assistant Commissa
ry Generals in every county in
leorgia, who will secure and
forward such supplies as can be
obtained.
I now appeal to our city sisters
to aid us in money contributions
to assist in providing for all
old needy 7 Veterans.
Respectfully.
Amos Fox.

would be most brief. An official
dispatch announces that the reb
el chiefs and the Americons
will not always agree, which is
to Spain’s advantage.
“The government has formed
a scheme which will not only
assure Spain the possession of
the Philippine islands but which
will re-establish tranquility.”
On leaving the cabinet coun
cil the ministers professed still
to be without confirmation of
the reported capitulation of San
tiago Owing to the state of seige
the censorship of dispatches is
extremely rigorous, and numer
