Unfounded Peace Reports Mentioned in Washington Dispatch
From Washington August 20 a thorough inspection of the fortifications of Washington was made yesterday and proved entirely satisfactory should the enemy advance the capital would not have improved defenses. Unfounded reports claim Republican leaders impressed the President toward armistice before the election. The President would not change his Cabinet to seek reelection. thus a bold peace measure is unlikely.
