The Spanish government lias sued for peace, not indirectly through the great powers of Europe, hut byadireet appeal to President McKinley. The proposition was formerly submitted to the president by the French ambassador, M. Jules Cum bon, who had received instructions from the foreign ollice at Paris to deliver to the United States government the tender of peace formulated by the Spanish cahinrt. At the conclusion of the conference between the president and the French the following otllcial ambassador, statement was Issued from the White House: The French ambassador, on behalf of the government of Spain, and by direction of the Spanish minister of foreign affairs, presented to the president this afternoon at the White House a message from the Spanish government, looking to the termination of the war and the settlement of terms of peace. The proportion submitted by the ambassador, acting for the Spanish government, was quite general in terms and was confined to the one essential point of an earnest plea that negotiations be opened for the purpose of ter-- opinion, the situation was not materially changed by the Spanish proposition, and that the war would Ik; pressed with unabuted vigor until something more tangible in the way of peace terms was at hand. Neither was there any suggestion from the Spanish government that an armistice be established, pending the peace negotiations. It seemed natural, however, from the proposition that formal peace negotiations be entered upon, that, pending their conclusion, cessation of hostilities would occur. Owing to the importance of the communication, the ambassador adopted the usual diplomatic procedure of reading the communication from the original French, the translation lndng submitted by M. Thibcaut. In the conversation which followed the reading of the proposition, neither the president nor the ambassador entered into the question of terms of peace. The instructions of the ambassador had been confined to the one essential point of opening peace negotiations, and it was evident that the president desired to consider the proposition at this moment before giving any definite reply.

The coroner's Jury which bus been holding an inquest on the body of Jack Watson huve returned a verdict that he caine to his death by a pistol shot fired liy J. W. Warf. The shooting was the result of 11 feeling caused over a suit for the wrongful appropriation of water, in which Watson was fined and Warf was the prosecuting attorney. Tho shooting occurred late Saturday evening. Warf was arrested shortly afterward and released on bonds in the sum of 82000, furnished by R. Miller and George Whitmore. The shooting took place near the Senate saloon, from which both hud just emerged. An eye witness states that Watson directed abusive language to Wurf, at the same time pulling his gun, both firing Rhoul the same time. Warf jumped behind a wagon, and Watson stepped up on the platform in front of the saloon, both keeping up a rapid fire, when suddenly Watson fell with a bullet through hia thigh. Warf then turned and walked away, and Watson, after falling, dragged himself to the door of the saloon, where he again began firing, when Warf turned and fired, hia shot passing through the abdomen and coining to the surface on the left side, between the first and TERMS SUGGESTED. second ribs.

TI1E QUEEN RECENT OF SPAIN AND HER SON. THE PHONSO XIII. minuting tlm wht and arriving at terms of peace. The communication of the Swinish government did not suggest nny specific terms of peace, nor was any reference made to Cnba, the Philippines, Porto Rico or other Span ish possessions. The evident purjiose of the Madrid authorities was to first learn whether the United States would treat on the subject of peace, and after to take up such terms as the two parties might suggest No intimation came froinauy official source as to the probable character of the answer. There were strong intimations, however, that there would be no acceptance which would imply the shipping of the war when the American arms were adding victories on victories, to embark on a vagnediplnmatic It wns felt that this govnegotiation. ernment had everything to lose in a subtle game of diplomacy, in which the only certain element would be the inaction of onr army and navy. For this reason there was a disposition in official quarters hi know what terms were in sight before entering upon general negotiations. A prominent uilminis'. ration official said, after talking with cabinet officers, that, in liis COY KING AL- - intimating what bis reply would lie, and promised n reply later. The call of the embassador was two lionra after the regular cabinet meeting, and the next regular meeting occurs on Friday. No special meeting was called, but the president hud an informal talk with the members of the cabinet last nlglit, the consultation lasting until after midnight. Naturally, the plea of Spain to open peace negotiations, opens up a wide field of conjecture on what the terms of peace will he. Thus fnr there is no ofileiai warrant for saying what terms Spain will propose, nr what terms the United States will offer or accept. So fur as this country is concerned, it is the general impression that the complete Spanish evacuation of Cuba and Iorto Rico will 1k insisted upon, 'as a sine qua non. There is not the aaine certainty as to the Philippines. anil Carolines, although the ef is growing that the terms will include coaling stations in these groups. Gn llie part of Spain it is believed she lias reached such a realization of her misfortunes that she will readily accept terms for the evacuation of Cuba and probably Porto Uici.
