THE WAR GOES ON.
There Is Much Talk, However, OF Pro-
posals for Peace Being Made %,.
by Spain. ~

Madrid, July 11.-Information re-
ceived from the mos+ reliable sources
is to the effect that the darkest pes
simism pervades Madrid officialdom.
The hopelessness of the war is finally
recognized and the peace idea now
seems to predominant in the cabinet,
and negotiations are considered urgent.
The cabinet is likely to cohere until
peace is secured. 1t is now recognized
that Santiago de Cuba is completely
beleaguered and cam OF hold out, owing
to the lack of provisions and munitions
of war. Ita9is considered certain that
the Americans will blockade Cuban and
Puerto Rican ports, cutting off their
supplies, while the authorities are con-
vinced that an American fleet is COM
ing to the peninsula. There is no con-
fidence felt that the powers will inter-
fere even if defenseless seaports are
bombarded, and, therefore, what meas
ures of defense are possible are being
adopted.

spondent of the Temps says: The end
is impatiently awaited, even the gov
eminent no longer attempting to dis
guise it's conviction that after the fall
of Santiago the time will have come
for thinking about overtures of peace,

Santiago in time to aid in the defense,
the duration of which will depend upon

Crops in the Indian and Okla

The latter was nearer a failure.
Cotton is especially fine in

promises to be large. Worms

be that the late cotton Is toe
