SPANISH CRISIS AT HAND.
SAGASTA OFFERS TO RESIGN
CRISIS BROUGHT ABOUT BY DIFFER
ENCES OF OPINION AS TO PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS.

London. July 12The Madrid correspondent
Of THE Times" telegraphing Monday. says:
"Sehor Sagasta went to the palace to-day and
rendered his resignation and that Of the Cab
met. II is said that he advised the Queen Re-
gent TO appoint a new Cabinet largely con-
sisting Of the military element which would
not necessarily mean the adoption OF a warke
policy. but probably the reverse.
1T is generally expected that the resignation
will be accepted but the result may possibly
be merely a partial reconstruction OF the Cab
met. The Ministers are In council. and
Sehor sagasta has doubtless communicated to
them an account Of his audience with the Queen
Regent
THE Cabinet resigned in consequence Of
irreconcilable differences Of opinion on the ques-
ton OF initiating peace negotiations"

A PEACE RUMOR DISPELLED.

dor NJ Cambon and his first secretary NJ

This naturally aroused renewed conjecture as
"a a peace movement. but 1t was said ohhcialiy
that the Ambassador had not mentioned the
subject Of peace. and that his visit was directed
solely to learning something OF several OF the
Spanish officers now prisoners.
NJ. Cambon started this afternoon TOT New

President naturally excited much comment and
,ed 70 reports that Spain had asked for peace
through French channels. The subject dis

IN the course OF n few days. In connection with
an interesting occasion. the details OF which
cannot now be made public. but which. when

did not relate to the war in any aspect.
