PerlonaI Opinion.
LONDON. July 22.-rhs statement
made by Senior Gamazo, the Spanish
minister of public instructI|h. to the eff
feet that peace, honorable to the Span
lsh army, will shortly be concluded, is
regarded in London more ls an indica-
tIon of personal opinion o9hope than as
rejecting any general dfcIsIhn OF the
cabinet. Nothing showing any move in
the direction OF peace has been received
here from any quarter likely to be well
informed on the subject. The Spanish
ambassador, Count RasqOn, who was
questioned on the subject, said: "We
have no news from Madridiand we have
no reason to believe any ouch decided
step has been taken as Sdnor GamaEo's
statement would indicate"
At / o'clock this AFTERNOON promi-
nent official OF the British foreign Office
said to n representative Of the Associa-
ted Press: I'VE have absolutely nothing
confirmatory Of Senior GanSazo'S alleged
statement. We wish wei had and we
hope It is true, but 90 far Rs we are ad-
viSed the signs do not seem propitlous
for early peace.
rReIattye 10 the idea that England
will be prominently connected with the
future negotiations, absolutely nothing
mas occurred thus far upon which to
base the Idea. As general principle in
these affairs. the interference OF a neu-
trnl is a mistake, unless Invited by both
helllgerents,"
II Is known that the Spanish ambns-
sadors have been sounding the other
ambassadors NJ all the courts Of Europe
With the object OF lndutIng concerted
representations at Washington to stop
the war and there 10 reason to believe
that Great Britain 10 no longer alone In
demurrinE al this and pointing out the
,iselessness Of such a course.
ON the other hand It Is sOld that repre-
septations to stop the war have been
made al Madrid, but iudEinE from the
results. they have not beel sufficiently
strong 10 induce Spain to come to her
senses, II Is recognized By all except
spain that the United STATS win refuse
10 Hsten to suggestions uptn the part OF
the concerted powers.
'Tn this matter" one Of the ambassa-
dors said to a representltise OF the As
socIated Press: Spain kroWB the ire
ducible minimum upon WHICH the United
states will discuss peacg. What is she
waiting for? Spain seemt 70 forget that
me United States can Sto3 the war the
moment she likes. Nov that she has
no snanlsh fleet to recl1oP with, she can
inke Porto Rico and the Canary Islands
NJ her leisure and finally Zeal with Cuba
An the cool weather. Tim Spain VIII

WASHINGTON July 22.-M the
meeting Of the cabinet to-day the letter
written by General Garcia was read and
discussed at some length. and the opin-
ion was expressed that 1t evidently was
based upon wrong conception Of the
purposes and motives Of our people
These. IT was said, should long ago
have been fully explained TO him ana
To nil Of the Cuban leaders
II ID was true, az had been reported,
n member OF the cabinet said that Gar
90 wus not invited to participate In the
ceremonies attending the raising OF the
American flag at Santiago, It was
mistake. Everything reasonable, he
esid. should be done to Win and Keep
the friendship OF the inSurEent Cubnns,
and they should be nnde to know that
the oniy purpose Of the United States
An WaRinE war against Spain was to
secure for nll the people OF Cuba relief
from the. oppression OF Spanish rule,
and n stable satisfactory government
established by the people themselves.
OF courye, II was added, II Is not the
intention OF this government TO drive
the Spanlards out and then formally
turn fine Island over to the insurgents
ori to any other particular ciass or fac
tlon. This government had never init
mated such purpose. but on the con-
trary, It was well Understood that a sta
Bile government for and by AL OF the
people or Cuba had been the only pur-
pose and end sought to be attained,
The details Incident TO the establish
ment OF such government. II was said,
have never been discussed By the cab
met nt any grent length, but there could
be no difference Of opinion as TO the
Eencrnl plan. AL Of the people Of the
Island, Il was declared. must be given
nm opportunity 20 express their Views
ns 10 the character NJ the constitution
under which they were to live and also

er1lts have been obtained from prob
able 5000 applicants, by a limited
number OF recruiting officers for the
most part strangers in the country cam
yassed and during a period OF comped-
tion by state authorities for the same
men. In the opinion Of the officials OF
inc war department the returns OF
regular army eniistments will show an
increase as this competition ceases.
The strength Of the regular army to-
dav, less recent casualties, estimated al
1000. Is 1882.
