Council held at the Palace to-day. The
discussion again developed dssension be-
tween tho peace and war parties in the
Cabinet General Correa, Minister of
War strongly contended that hostilties
should be continued. and his position was
supported by the Queen Regent.
Senior Gamazo, Minister OF Public
Works. urged that the time had arrived
TO begin negotiations for peace. In view
of the attitude of the Queen Regent IL
was suggested that the Cabinet Teasem-
BILE later under the presidency OF Prime
Minister Sagasta. This was agreed to,
and the council IS now sitting.
Senior Sagasta supports Senior Gamazo
in his contention that il is time to end
the war. The Queen Regent showed
great anxiety at the council, frequently
interruphng he Ministers statements
with questions. General Correa and
Senior Aunon. Minister Of Marine said
they doubted the commences of the dis
patches received from Admiral Cervera
because they were not in cypher
General Correa denied that he had is
sued statement that Capt. Lagaaa Of
the Almirante Oquendo had committed
suicide.
Senior Aunon denied that the Pelsyo.
Admiral Camara's flagship, had grounded
in the Suez Canal.
At = o'clock last evening the Duke OF
Tetuau. after comforting with the Queen
Regent. visited General weyler at the

ed by senior Romero Robiedo.
The tnree held a conference. which was

WOUNDED AT SANTIAGO.
Capt. Kerr Arrives with Others at Tam
pa-His story of the Fight.

TAMPA, FLA, July THE steamship
Mascotte arrived here tonight with a
number Of those wounded at the battle
OF Santiago. Among them was captain
J. H. Kerr, Second squad, Sixth Cavalry.
His left arm is In a sling "a a Santiago
memento. He tells graphic story OF the
bravery of the American soldiers who
forced the Spanish trenches in the face
of scathing fire.
He gave the loss OF officers as forty
per cent. Of the the total and stated
that whenever a man exposed himself
wearing shoulder straps he was shot
down by the spanish sharpshooters al a
mile and a half as though he were but
that many rods.
The negro troops who went over there
are said TO have fought Ike demons, and,
being in front. were cut down as II A
moving machine had been run through
their ranks.
The use Of the Springfield rifles by the
volunteers with the common powder was
the cause OF much American loss. as IL
constantly betrayed their position 20 the
enemy. The volunteers and artillery fire
attracted a shower OF lead. which ap-
parently came from a clear sky as the
Spaniards fought from behind deep
trenches and used smokeless powder

The forts were well protected. and
strongly fortified. Captain Kerr esti-
mates the loss at 1900 on each side. He
anticipates the capture Of the city. even
in the face OF the Pando reinforcement,
but thinks Il will be somewhat delayed.
Captain Kerr leaves tonight for ST.
Louis. where his family reside. As soon
az he can use his arm he will return to
the front.

something unknown to warfare, but in
the present conflict with Spain 1t will
no doubt be an important factor The
