Madrid, July 25. —Miss Jessie Schley, delegate from the Peace society of Paris, has arrived at Madrid with the intention, it is asserted, of interviewing members of the cabinet with a humanitarian object. [Miss Jessie Schley, referred to in the foregoing dispatch, is the daughter of Charles Schley, of Milwaukee, who is a cousin of Commodore Schley. She is a member of the Daughters of the Revolution. It was announced from Paris last week that she was about to start for Madrid to see the queen regent and Senor Sagasta, view to bringing about peace, and then to proceed to Washington to visit President McKinley, in the samg Interest. Last Friday the Milwaukee Sentinul announced that Miss Schley’s father, on learning of his daughter's intention, had instructed her to return home immediately, disapproving her course and excusing it as the result of a warm, sympathetic nature and a special enthusiasm for philanthropic and peace movements.]
