WAR MAY SOON END.
The Spanish Government Said to
Favor Arrangements for Peace.
WOULD Be CONTENT TO CEDE CUBA.
Would Not Pay an Indemnity, However
because of Inabliity-The spanish
Army UnreIiabIe-The Queen
Regent May Resign.

LONDON, May 5.-The Standard says
this morning:
There Is a growing impression in oficial
quarters that the queen regent and the Span
ish government favor some arrangement that
will lead to the early termination OF the war.
It Is believed that Austria is anxious to inter
vene, while Germany has special reasons 20
desire some arrangement which will not com
promise the future OF the Philippines
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Telegraph says:
Those who are best Informed as to the gov
ernments view alege that II the Spanish
arms sufer another reverse like that at Cavite,
the government would informally request the
great powers to lend their service to arrange
the best possible terms of peace. Many lib
erals consider that Spain, having maintained
her honor and justified her chivalry can now
afford to yield to superior force but it is doubt
ful whether public opinion would approve this
line Of action | am assured that the govern
ment would be content to cede Cuba to the
United States, but would not pay indemnity,
because unable. Well informed politicians
here regard the war as practically terminated.
and that toward the end Of May 1t will become
history. What will follow, however, 1t is dim
cult to fbresee. All the elements Of long
civil war In Spain are, unfortunately, becom-
ing visible. The government and the liberal
party are popularity hated as being responsible
able chances OF success. The conservatives
and Carlists are the real authorities Of the flu
ture and some OF the conservative groups are
gravitating toward Carlism.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Morning Post says:
The government is aware that 1t cannot rely
upon the army. II Is an open secret that a so
ciety has been formed within its ranks TO put
an end to the humllationS Spain has suffered
a lA tunDm
Judging from what one hears, terrible things
may shortly happen.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle, says:
The idea OF the resignation of the regency by
Queen Maria Christina is being seriously con
sldered by the members OF the imperial family
of Austria, with view OF averting an anti
dynaStic movement and saving the throne. An
exchange OF ideas on the subject IS going on
between the queen regent and her Austrian
family, but It's most influential members are
decidedly opposed.

THE RIOTING CONTINUES.
Outbreaks In spanish Provinces Assuming
Alarming Proportions-Element of
"a Civil War Exist.

MADRID, May 5.-The outbreaks in
the provinces are assuming alarming
proportions. This is especially the
case in the province of Gijon, on the
bay of Biscay where the troops have
been compelled to fire on the rioters.
AT Talavera de la Royna one of the
Jesuit religious houses has been
burned. 1t is asserted that the riots
arise from hunger rather than from
political motives. All the elements of
a civil war exist in Spain. Conserva-
tives and Carlists are great parties of
the future. Some conservatives gravi-
tate toward Carlism.
