muST GIVE UP ALL. Member Keiterates That Peace “qui come Only When Spain Kelingaishes cabs, Porto Kico and the Philippines. New YORK, June 23.—A special to Tribune from Washington says: view of the increasing frequency with which rumors of possible peace conditions are entering into the dis- enssion of semi-official and inspired an journals, considerable sig- ce is attached to the statement g member of the cabinet that no ition would be for a moment entertained by the United States at this time which did not involve Spain’s absolute relinguishment of sovereignty over Cuba, Porto oand the Philip- ime isiands. The probable attitude of the United States to thes e former eolonial possessions of Spain in the fature, this authority declined to dis- cuss, but, in his opinion, the complete eradication of Spanish influence and interest, so far as these islands were concerned, has already become a fore- e conclusion and the United States would not at any time hereafter per- mit Spain to enter into any negotia- tions regarding them. FOUR THOUSAND MORE. qhe Third Expedition of Troops for the Philippines Sailed from San Francisco Monday on Four Transports. = San FRANCIS June 28.—Another | fleet of transports has sailed out through the Golden gate to the broad Pacific. Yesterd afternoon the third fleet of vessels loaded with sol- diers and supplies for the Philippines hoisted anchor and, amid the scream- ing of a hundred whistles and the clanging of bells and the booming of eannon, proceeded down the bay to- ward the ocean and by morning they were on their way to the Philippines. The ships carried about 4,000 men, under command of Gen. Arthur Mce- Arthur, who has made the steamer In- diana his flagship. The City of Para, the Ohio and Morgan City were the other vessels to sail with the Indiana, The steamer Valencia was not ready for sea yesterday, and will probably sail with the steamer Newport on Wednesday. Gen. Merritt and his staff will proceed to the islands in the Newport, which has been especially prepared for the service. IT WILL BE CONVENIENT. Island in the Pacific West of Hawail Can Be Used by Uncle Sam as a Coal- ing Station. SAN FRANCISCO, « from Honolulu sa The United States possesses an island suitable for a coaling or even for a naval station in the Pacific, nearly 2,700 west of Honolulu and in the very doorway of Manila. It is known as Mareus of Weeks. The island belongs to Capt. Foster, commander of a sailing vessel plying between the Orient and San Francisco. They found it while cruising and took possession. It was at that time unclaimed and un- occupied. By consent of James G. Blaine, then secretary of state, the American flag was hoisted over the island, and still remains there, the same being sanctioned by Great Brit- ance and all the powers. 238.—A special BASEBALL GAMES.

The Hong Kong correspondent of the London Daily Mail say “The Archbishop of Manila an- nounces that he has bad a commun- ication from God, who has promised him that the “Yankee pigs” will be driven out of the island and that Spain will be triumphant in the end.” Some enterprising American ought to cut the cable between the Archbishop and God.

CLEVELAND, O., June 23.—One of the most desperate and tragic suicides ever recorded in this section was com- mitted by Miss Anna Forester, of No. 67 Hamm street, a handsome young woman, aged 23, at Oakdale, a sub- urban pleasure resort, where she was visiting. The young woman entered a barn near the house where she boarded, with a coal oil can in her band. A few minutes later the build- ing was ablaze and Anna Forester was seen kneeling in the midst of the flames, apparently praying that her life, which she had no desire to con- tinue, might be taken away. It was impossible to rescue her.’ When the smoldering ruins of the barn were searched a few hours later s mass of charred fiesh was found. Miss For ester was engaged to be married, but so faras known there was no trouble between the girl and her lover.
