NEW YORK, July ia dispatch to
the Herald" from Madrid says: In
consequence of the reign of terror in
augurated by the papers, the people be-
lieve the widest rumors afloat Every
body sees that the papers hint much
between the lines, affecting to know
more perhaps than they really do.
The impression is that the Govern
ment is acting dictatorially, simply be-
cause it has grounds TO believe that the
monarchy is menaced not only by the
Carlists or the Republicans, but also a
widespread popular and military dis
content in consequence of which a high
handed policy is deemed necessary in
order TO make peace quickly without
the assistance of the COrtes, which will
only be asked to pass bill of indem-
nifty when the nation is somewhat rec
onciled to the sacrifice of territory in
the West indies and in the Philippines.
1t is further believed that France.
Austria, Russia and Germany have
again told the Queen and her Minis
ters that it is indispensable to secure
an early peace, which alone can save
Spain from financial and commercial
ruin. The Queen gave audiences to
Romero Robledo and General Weyler
expressly to obtain their neutrality. If
not consent to negotiations for peace,
and to persuade Nnem to prevail upon
the Generals to answer for the loyalty
of the army in Spain.
The capital of Gpain presents
strange aspect under the extraordinary
measures taken by the Government to
impose silence upon the press. At first
all the papers attempted to protest
against proceedings which have no pre-
cedent since the last years of the reign
of Isabella III. on the eve of the rev.
olution Similar seventies We're re-
sorted to by the reactionary Cabinet
against the opposition, which at that
time was headed by such leaders as Sa-
gasta, Castelar,, Serano and Perian.
General Chinnosela, the Captain Gem
eral of Madrid, again summoned into
his presence to-day ten of the principal
editors in Madrid. He sternly warned
them that he was not going to be trifled

Some apprehension is expressed here
that the assumption by the United
States of the control of affairs at Santi-
ago may lead to trouble with the Gu
bans A few days before the sur
render of the city General Garcia sent
a committee to General Shafter in
forming hin. that the Cubans had Sc
le~ted a ban named Castillo for Gov
t Gf he city. 1t is plain, how
ex CT, from the reading of the Presi-
dents order to General Shafter that it
will be "a long time before this cuban
officer is allowed to exercise the func-
tions of Governor, and it is believed
it is the Presidents purpose when the
military Government he has just
erected gives way to replace it with
a popular Government, meaning there
by a Government for Santiago, chosen
by the free vote of the people of Santi-
ago. Some doubt is expressed as to
whether this program will be accepta-
BILE to that element of the Cuban party
which demands immediate possession
of captured territory, but as the Adj
ministratiCn is convinced that this ele-
ment is neither the most numerous nor
respectable in the Cuban cause, it is
believed their dissatisfaction will take
no more dangerous form than protests
and growls. 1t is suggested that the
Presidents action in the case of Santi-
ago might be construed by European
nations as indicating an intent to disre-
gard the terms of the Congressional
resolution which precipitated the war,
and to mean a permanent seizure of the

This view, however, will not it is be-

tions in the United States, who are

cesses and lawless extravaganza at
