LONDON, June 3.--Yesterdays news
ana that which comes this morning mas
brought no fresh feature except increased

Cervera is really in Santiago. The
Madrid correspondents Of the News
make a point OF the persistence with
hich the Minister Of Marine insist that
Admiral Cervera has succeeded IN MS
ATTEMPT 10 mislead the enemy.
The London opinion leads to the theory
that Admiral Cervera has escaped from
Santiago harbar possibly under cover OF
the torpedo manouvres Saturday night.
with regard 10 the report of European
Intervention, the Vienna correspondents
of both the daily Chronlc!s and the Daily
News. deny that the Austrian govern
ment has received any fresh communi-
cation from Spain. 1t would appear
therefore that any efforts I'm this direction
are being made only in France, where
they are apparently the most likely TO
succeed.
N is understood that NJ. Hanotaux and
other ministers regard the present situa-
ton as intolerable. 4 protracted var be-
sides disturbing commerce would neces-
state postponing the coming exposition.

means ruin for Spain, and he SAID: The
sentiment is growing IN favor Of seeking
an honorable peace, which America. con-
sidering her unpreparedness for a war
OF invasion would also welcome IN prefer

heavy sacrifices Of men and money. This
