Self Preservation Counsels Peace.

Prance are believed now to be ma neuvering for advantageous positions before openly making efforts toward peace, but It is asserted that more than one of the powers at war has acnt out feelers and that the United States is being used as an instrument In the interest of peace. !Los Angeles Wants Mexicans Deported Board of Bnoerrlsors Anxious to at j,; Many Axe Pnblio Charges.
