AN ACTIVE EXCHANGE

OF Views Alleged to Have Taken Place
Among Those Interested in Peace
London, July 13.-The Star Claims to
be in a position to state auth0ritatively
that an active exchange OF views oc-
Cured on Monday and Tuesday be-
tween the diplomats who are endeav-
oring to arrive at a peace understanding
between the United States and Spain.
1t also understands that the Spanish
government is ready to evacuare Cuba
if her soldiers are allowed to depart in
manner acceptable to an army which
has not been defeated and if the United
States is ready to assume the Cuban
debt. The greatest difficulty is with
the question of war indemnity, but a
solution of this may perhaps be found
in a proposal from syndicate of
American and English bankers to re-
pay the United States its war expenses
in twenty annuities, taking in return
the tobacco monopoly and the ready
concessions in Cuba and the Philippine
Islands. 1t is rumored that if Spain
will surrender Santiago without further
bloodshed, President Mckinley, in or
der to facilitate peace, may abandon
the attack on Porto Rico. If the pend
ing peace negotiations succeed the
Queen Regent will appoint Moret
cabinet to sign the articles Of peace.
The Star adds that at the last mo-
ment it learns that Spain has express
ed readiness to cede to Germany the
Vizayas Islands, Samar Loyt, Mindora
and Paraguay, provided Germany will
guarantee to Spain possession OF MIN
danoa and the Carolines, in which case
Spain will abandon Luzon to the United
States

BLANCO'S BLUSTER.
The Cuban Captain General Trying to
Bolster Up the Governments Cour-

London July ia special dispatch
from Madrid published this afternoon,
saws Capt. Gen. Blanco has replied TO
the Spanish governments reiterated
presentations in regard to peace by en-
ergetically protesting against the Idea
of peace. The captain general says
the report that the government has re-
solved to negotiate with the United
States has had deplorable effect, espe-
cially among the troops. He adds that
the deputation of officers chosen by the
army had begged him to convey to the
government their protests against any
propositions for peace. claiming that
nothing can justify cessation of hos
tilities at present Continuing, General
Blanco says: THE army has only just
come into action, and thus far cannot
be said to have suffered a reverse, al
though opposed numerically by a far
stronger force The deputation de-
clares that so long as it is not conclu-
sively proven that the troops are in
capable of successfully defending Cuba,
Spain cannot treat for peace without
dishonoring her army to the eyes of
the world. The Cuban volunteers are
even more violent opponents Of peace.
They declare they will not recognize
any agreement concluded under the
present conditions, and that even de-
serted by Spain they will continue the
war themselves"
