situations between the premier, the

prominent persons are described as be-
ing really Of national character, with
a view OF aseertalning the opln-
Ions Of oil parties The gov
eminent has not yet entered upon
any engagement regarding terms for
concluding the war with the United
states. The cabinet will follow the ad-
vice Of the party leaders and will leave
to the crown the liberty Of choosing
new advisorA
All the leaders consulted thus far
have observed the strletest reserve with
the exception Of Senior Romero v Roble-
do, the leader of the weylerlte party
who declares himself in favor Of con-
tinuing the war
The queen regent has summoned sew
eral general for consultation.
An Official dispatch from San Juan
Porto de Porto Rico says most OF tne

LONDON. August 5.-The Madrid
correspondent OF the Daily Mail says:
The government has not yet answered
the American note. nor received Presi-
dent McKInley's reply to the explana-
ton asked for by Senior Sagasta, The
premier said to-day that the govern
ment would reply to the American de-
mands early next week.
In consulting the party leaders, sa-
gasta Is following the precedent OF cas-
telag, when the Virglnius afialr threat
ened war with the United States. II ts
not probable that he will resign as a
result OF the conferences.
The premier Is inclined to rush the
treaty through without convoking the
Cortes, trusting to get bill OF indem-
nifty next month. but the party leaders
are not likely to consent to this course.
LONDON, August 5.-The Rome cor
respondent OF the Daily Mall says:
The pope is preparing ari-encEclical
ordering the Spanish clergy 10 avoid all
political strifes and praislng the vir-
tues and religious fervor OF the queen
regent. His holiness will also send a
letter 20 the Spanish people to be read
In ali the churches, praising ths- present
dynasty and counselllnR the preserYa-
tion OF internal peace. Both documents
are intended to be anti-Carllst In their
influence.
LONDON; August 5.--The Madrid cor
respondent OF the Times says:

everything being done IN a quiet. or
DERBY and dignified manner. He consid-
ers II necessary to have full and satis.
factory explanations as TO all doubtful
points In order TO enable him best to
protect the national interests against
the aggressive tendencies OF the Wash
inEton cabinet.
He has also to examine very minute
~ the exluencies OF the internal sltua-
tIon and home politics, so as to avoid
popular dissatisfaction and political un-
rest. The Spanish people, though SIN
cerely DESTROYS OF peace, are disposed to
admire this hesltancy and tenacious

that II implies greater sacrifices.
AS an Illustration OF this feeling while
General .Toral Is blamed for capitulat-
Ing at Santiago. Captain General Angus
Il continuing a hopeless resistance at
Manila, bids fair to be popular hero.
It would be premature to suppose that
the political consultations now proceed
ing foreshadow the resignation OF the
liberal cabinet when peace 10 concluded.
The conservatives have 20 constantly
and loyalty supported Sagasta through
out the war that no tactious opposition
need be feared from them"
