was expected, either counter-prop.

SPANISH VIEWS.

London. August 5.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Times says !:
Though peace is regarded as as
sured, it may not be attained so
quickly as is generally expected.
Senior sagss,a objects to being bus-
tied and insists upon everything be.
ing done in quiet, orderly and dig
ni6ed manner He considers it nee.
essary to have full and satisfactory
explanations as to all doubtful points
in order to enable him best to pro-
teat the national interest against the
aggressive tendencies of the Wash
ington cabinet
He has also to examine very min
utely the exigencies of the Internal
situation and home politics. SO as to
avoid popular dissatisfaction and po-
itical unrest. The Spanish people,
though sincerely desirous of peace.
are disposed to admire this hesitancy
and tenacious holding out TO the last,
although aware that it implies greater
sacrifices
s'As.sn illustration of this feeling,
while Gen Toral is blamed for capt.
ulating at Santiago. Capt. August,
continuing a hopeless resistance at
Manila, bids fair to be popuiar hero.
1t would be premature to suppose
that the political consultations now
proceeding foreshadow the resigna-
tion of the Liberal cabinet when
peace is concluded The Conserva-
tiyes have so constantly and loyalty
supported Sagasta throughout the
war that 10 factious opposition need
be feared from them"

conferences between the political
leaders on the subject of the peace
terms continue. Senor SiIvela, the
Conservative leader, acting on behalf
of Senior CASTELAR,. the Republican
leader, who was prevented by illness
from being present, has conferred
with the premier, senor Sagasta, on
the subject. He said that senor Gas

VERY FIRMLY RE.
FUSED.

Washington, August 4 The Uoi,ed
States government Is now waiting to
hear again from Spain, and this ti@e it
is expected the answer will be final
Firmly, but courteousIy, the President
has declined the earnes. appeal of the
French ambassador to modify sbe
Uoi,ed States demands except IL slight
and comparatively uoimportaot respects.
There is no doubt that the peace nego-
siatioos are progressing to the entire
satisfaction of the President and the
members of the cabinet. A -statement
to that effect was made go-day by high
Official of the administration who ex.
preased the belief that within very
short tiue there would be complete
cessation Of hostilities.
The conference yesterday afternoon
