Hopeful Sign

WARRINGTON. July 1.-THE Cabinet
.Was In session almost two hours. There
we're several dispatches laid before the Cabi-
net, but 1t IL said none were Of any particu-
lar importance save one from General Miles,
Who wired some details as to what was
wanted In the way of movement Of troops
here and the shipment of horses and sup
plies.
The royal decree Of suspension of individ-
nal rights in Spain gave rise to some dis
cussion as to the outlook for peace. Secre-
tary Day, however, reported there were no
overtures of any kind so far as known to
him. Detail dispatches following up the an
oouncement of the surrender were eagerly
awaited but did not come. Secretary Long
VS. the only absentee.
"There have been no overtures for peace
received by any United States Embassy or
legation abroad, nor by the Department Of
etate at Washington"
THIS was the statement made by a menu
Der of the Cabinet who Is thoroughly fam
tliar with the conditions as they exist to-
day, and was called forth by various re-
borts that ranged all the way from an an
nouncement that the basis for treaty. of
peace already had been reached, to the
more guarded declaration that the Span
ish government had conveyed in an ur-
onicial manner to the United States gov
eminent an intimation of some Of the con-
ceosions 1t was prepared to make in order
to secure peace.
The prospects for the speedy institution
Of peace negotiations have frightened
considerably since the collapse of Spanish
resistance at Santiago. The moral effect
Of that victory for the American arms is
beginning to be felt in the direction of
peace. If the Cabinet has discussed terms
OF peace up to this moment, the fact has
not been divulged by any responsible
source. Now and then one of the govern
ment agents in Europe communicates
some message. summing up the European
gossip, and naturally In view of the earn
ct desire for the speedy restoration Of
peace entertained by the European powers,
this gossip tends to bear out the belief that
peace negotiations are at hand. The Presi-
dent hopes so. He has made no conceal.
ment Of his earnest desire for a speedy ter
mination of the war. Such position on his
part Il entirely reconcilable with the earn
ct purpose to prosecute the war until its
original purpose has been attained. Be-
fore that time any overtures for peace must
come from Spain.
The news from Madrid that Spain had
been practically placed under martial law
Il regarded as most hopeful sign. 1t is
construed to mean purpose on the part of

PEACE INDICATIONS
Martial Law Declared in Spain-The
Carlists will Make Trouble

Carlists will Make Trouble
MADRID, July Is, s a.m.-The Official
Gazette today published a royal decree
temporarily suspending throughout the
Spanish peninsula the rights of individuals
as guaranteed by the constitution. The de-
cree adds that the government will render
an account to Parliament Of the use 1t may
make of this measure.
The publication of the decree Is generally
accepted as being convincing proof that
Spain is now ready to sue for peace. and
that negotiations to that effect are actually
in progress. The government wishes to
have full power to suppress evidence of dis
cord or rebellions which might appear. The
Carllsts are furious and are sure to create
trouble.
One minister expressed the conviction
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday. and there IL reason to
believe France has offered her services to
Spain and that Spain has drawn up condi-
tons for peace which offer base of nego-
tiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying that
Spain wants peace. but that 1T must be an
honorable peace, as Spain deserves. The
army is anxious to resist to the last, but
the government cannot consent to such
useless sacrifice. Had we our fleet, the sit
uation would be very different"

Blanco Still Bellicose

HAVANA, July B.-(Special to The
Herald) Ramon Blanco, Captain General
Of Cuba, today declared that II he could
prevent It there would be no peace between
the United States and Spain on the basis Of
Cuba's passing from Spanish control, and
that he favored waging incessant warfare
against the United States. 1 solicited an
interview with Blanco and was received in
his private office in the palace. He was
emphatic in all OF his statements. Cool de-
termined and energetic, he said: "I'm not
in favor Of any effort looking toward peace.
That Is a matter not within my domain.
however, and it is only for the government
of her majesty and tie cortes Of the king
dom to settle.
But for my own part shall always op-
pose all negotiations for peace which have
not as their foundation the acknowledge
ment Of Spanish sovereignty in Cuba. This
sovereignty has been universally recog-
nized and 1t has been disputed by no one
since the discovery Of the island"
what. in your opinion, are the prospects
OF peace between the United States and
Spain on some amicable basis?"
IT have heard no one speak in favor Of
peace" General Blanco replied with great
energy. "A country which, in return for all
1t owes to US, goes TO the extreme point OF
believing US to be Intentional authors Of
the explosion of the Maine, that declares we
are not capable of guaranteeing the safety
Of foreign vessels in our harbors, and
against all reason and without any other
right than that Of mere strength, now at
tempts to take away from us territory
that has belonged to Spain absolutely for
four hundred years, and which forms an in
tegral part of the Spanish monarchy
II am only sorry" the general continued,
"that am not young enough to give my
entire life and all of my faculties to fighting
necessarily and without rest against that
nation whose only idea has been to damage
and calumniate my country, which I love
devotedly."
General Blanco rose from his seat as he
pronounced these words of undying hatred
for the United States. His voice was stern
and his energy was like that of the young
man he wished himself to be.

FEW WILL RETURN.
Colorado's Volunteers Will Try Their

Colorade's Volunteers Will Try Their
Fortunes in New Fields.
The proposed reorganization of the
guard gave rise to considerable talk in
the state house yesterday afternoon as to
the probable numb:r of the old guard
who are now at Manila who will return
to Colorado after they are discharged
from the service, says the Denver News.
1t was also contended that the percent
age of those who do return and who will
60 back into the guard again will be very
small. They will naturally look upon
themselves as war veterans, men who
have seen actual service, and probably
take the stand that as such it would be
lowering of their dignity to 60 back into
the guard again with men who have never
seen any service at all.
II do not expect to see many of the
BOYS from Boulder come back again"
remarked State Register Paddock. II am
willing to lay wager that If peace is
declared tomorrow, and the men are
mustered out the following day, not more
than Is per cent of those who went to
war from our town will return for years
to come. And think the same will hold
good in the majority of the towns
throughout The state. There is nothing
in Colorado to bring many of them back
very soon, unless they left behind them
when they went away wives and families.
OF course, those men will return as soon
as possible. But with the remainder it
will be different. They are in new
country in which the possibilities for
making money will be greatly increased,
now that it has fallen into the hands Of
the Americans. The regiments will
probably be mustered out at Manila, or
perhaps at San Francisco. If in the
former place the men can remain there,
and demand Of the government the price
of their passage from there to Colorado.
That will be neat little sum-enough
to keep man for some time while he is
looking around for some business to
enter. Many of the boys may remain
while some may come as tar as California
and stop there. 1t is possible that If the
regiments are mustered out in Manila
many of the boys may take a run over
to China or Japan. and work their way
back home by going entirely around
the globe"
