A GAMAZO CABINET TO NEGOTIATE, RE-

Madrid. July "a, p. m. delayed in trans
mission)-The correspondent here Of The AS
sociated Press has had an interesting converse
ton with a person occupying high position in
the Queen Regents household. whose duties
bring him daily into intimate relations with
Her Majesty He said that the quarrel between
Spain and the United States was much easier
of adjustment than generally believed. The
Queen Regent he continued, naturally en-
deavored 10 avoid war. and naturally, also, she
desires an honorable peace. She is quite ailVe
to the force Of public opinion. and holds strict
ly to the constitutional laws of the nation IL
is an error to suppose that the Queen Regent
is under the pressure Of the present Govern
ment. or that she is regardless Of public opin-
ion when it is in consonance with the true in
terests of the Spanish people. The official re-
ferred to then added an important statement,
saying:
The present Government will not initiate
peace but a modified Cabinet. headed by Senor
Gamazo. Minister of Public Instruction, Will
conclude the negotiations and then retire and
General Polavieja, with a combination lnclud-
ing Senor Silvela and General Campos. will re-
organize the country.

directly with the Americans. whose practical
good sense will prevail over spread-eagieism'

AGUINALDO'S SUCCESSES.
MANILA IN TERRIBLE STRAITS
MANY SPANISH OFFICERS AND TROOPS
TAKEN PRISONERS
tsY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]


San Francisco July 25.-Hong Kong advices
received to-day by the steamer Aztec are to
June "a They give Manila news to June 81
At that date the city was in terrible straits as
Aguinaldo had control of three sides Of it,
Nearly all the Spanish women with their chill
dren had taken refuge on steamers and other
ships in the harbor. and other foreigners were
living at clubs, ready to so aboard ship at
moments notice. The insurgents would have
cut off the water supply of Manila had it not
been for United States Consul General Will
Jams He pointed out that this act would pro-
duce a terrible state of affairs in the oesieged
city. and that the chief suffering would fall on
the children Of neutrals. The American Con-
sul-General is popular as he shows goodness
Of heart. One day he distributed a large guam
tty of fruit among the Spanish wounded pris-
oners at Cavite, and when he left the hospitai
the men cheered him.
THE REBEL PROGRAMME.
The rebel programme is to wear out the span
ish garrison Of Manila. and the result has peen
that three-quarters Of the soldiers are IN oad
condition Exposed to all weathers robbed OF
sleep worried night and day by sudden attacks
the Spanish soldiers also demoralized by
poor food and failure OF pay Hospitals and
churches are crowded with sick and wounded
and soldiers on outpost duty sleep in trenches
exposed to heavy tropical rains and a boiling
sun The only wonder is that any of them es-
cape fever.
Agunado has had remarkable success against
the Spanish garrison OF Manila, but this Is
mainly because of the poor physical condition
even of the Spanish regulars. and because OF
their wretched craftsmanship. The correspond
ent Of The Hong Kong Press" says on this
point:
The rebels cannot be expected 20 be good
marksmen as they have had their rifles only
one week but the value of the Spanish soldier
may be gauged when one Of the Spanish naval
officers confded to me this week that three
quarters Of his men did not know how TO use
their rifles One point l noticed Is that when
the Spanish soldier is firing at foe, be it at
one hundred or five hundred yards, his aim is
generally fiat"
The same correspondent has this to say OF
Spanish soldiers at Manila:

YELLOW FEVER AT SANTIAGO.
NEW CASES REPORTED, But THE STU
ALTON Is IMPROVING

Washington, July 25.--In a dispatch TO the
War Department tonight General Shafter re-
ports that about five hundred new cases OF
fever developed in his corps at Santiago yes
terday. This number includes, Of course, all
classes Of fever probably some cases Of genuine
yellow fever
Only one death is reported, that one being
from yellow fever. The cheering intelligence is
conveyed that the situation is improving and
that about four hundred and fifty men who have
been Ill have returned TO duty.

As heretofore indicated by General Shafter
and the medical officers of his corps the cases
Of fever are of a notably mild type. The pa
tients are i'll from three days to a week. and
then return to duty quite as well ever. The
medical officers concur in the opinion that this
fever renders the men immune, for the time al
least, to yellow fever
The question OF returning a large part OF Cen
eral Skaters command to this country for rest
and recuperation under consideration by
the war officials. but the idea practically has
been abandoned. at least for the present Those
who are i'll now or who have been exposed 10
the infection are isolated in detention camps,
and are not permitted TO return 10 the main
body of the troops until all danger has been
averted. Through the adoption Of rigid sanitary
precautions and careful attention 10 those who
fall ILL., it is expected that the fever will run its
course in a comparatively brief time.
