SPANISH NATION WANTS PEACE.
That Was the Fact Gathered at Sarasta's
fy Recent Conferences


Lendon. Aug. S.-A correspondent tel
egraphing from Madrid this morning
says: "Senor Sagasta's extensive con-
sultations seemed to leave no doubt
that the nation wants peace | do not
mean to say that all declared this in
plain language. On the contrary, there
was deal of reticence. Some persons
had more or less clear.y expressed the
idea that the best men in the country
would patrioticaily forge; for the
moment all personal party
considerations, and cordially and
disinteresteCly endeayor To as
sist the government in its difficulties.
This idea. however. if it was ever seri-
ously entertained. was not realized.
Perhaps one or two acted in this spirit.
but in most cases the cloven foot of the
politician peeps out occasionally under
the flowing robes of the patriot.
Some only half concealed their sus-
picions that Seror Sasas a, in protesting
to consult the latter seriously in a great
crisis of the national history, was in
reality playing the part of an old par
liamentary hand, and astutely laying
IL
suspicious had any real foundation Sa-
gasta must be Consummate actor. for
in all the interviews he spoke with ap-
parent frankness and sincerity and
personal disinterestedness that might
well have disarmed all but the most
hardened politicians. Even when il was
suggested that he ought to leave to
more capable hands the task of con-
cluding peace he displayed noimpatience
or resentment
He even showed the most perfect
courtesy to Senor Romero Robledo
listening with rapt attention to his ab.
surd proposals. As to the context of
Spain's reply the oracles differ. Some
say II contains no contentious matter
accepts simply.in principle the four de-
mands of President McKinley's first
communication. and suggests an imme-
diate suspension Of hostilities. On the
other hand, others affirm that II is pre-
faced by an account of the origin of the
war. tending to prove that as Spain
was in no sense the aggressor she ought
not to be expected to pay a war in
demnity either in money or territory"

BELIEVE THE END HAS COME
Question of the Cuban Debt-No Cessation
of War Preparations.

Washington, Aug. S.-Although with
out official confirmation of the report
from Paris that the Spanish govern
ment has decided to accept the terms
laid down by the United States as es-
sential to the negotiation of a treaty of
peace, the officials here were proceeding
yesterday under the conviction that the
end has come, and were giving atten-
ton to the steps to he taken next. In
view of the delay in coming to this
conclusion the idea was beginning 10
prevail that the Spanish government
was about TO enter plea In abatement.
and that the answer would be inconclu-
sive. In this case the president was
disposed to deal firmly with the issue:
to give notice that our proposals were
withdrawn and to let ii BE- understood
that when Spain again sued for peace
the conditions would be more severe
than those first laid down. If the Span
ish answer should emhody an effort TO
secure any material change in the con-
ditions it will meet with prompt rejec-
tor.
Some reference has been made in the
dispatches of British newspapers To a
desire on the part of the Spanish gov
ern!nent to include in the preliminary
agreement a clause exempting it from
liabilities for the Cuban debt The for
mai statement of the points of the
United States' note made no reference

The government believes that the Unit

which will certainly reach the White

of the United States accepting the reply
hostilities will Immediately afterwards

As the reply to the American terms

necessarily without foundation.

the American conditions. The American
reply to Spain's request for explanations
reached Madrid Friday evening. The
text has not been divulged, but it is
known that IT brought little consolation.
| President Mckinley turned a deaf ear
| to the suggestion that Porto Rico might
| be left to Spain and compensation
sought elsewhere. Regarding the Phil

satisfactory. but il was of such a nature
that there was no longer any necessity
for postponing a decision on the main
