WILL SUE FOR PEACE.
AS a Preparation The Spanish
Government Abolishes
All Personal Rights.
TBy Cable to The Associated Press.l

MADRID, July 15 1898, 800 A. M.-The
official Gazette" today, publishes a royal
decree temporarily suspending through
out the Spanish peninsula the rights ofsifl-
dividuals as guaranteed by the Constitu-
ton. The decree adds that the Govern
ment will render an account to Parlia-
ment of the use it may make of this
measure.
The publication of the decree is general
" 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 any
evidences of discomfort or rebellion when
ever they appear. The Carlists are fur
ious and are sure to attempt to create
trouble.
One Minister expressed the conviction
that official overtures for peace will be
made before Sunday, and there is reason
to believe France has offered her SER
vices to Spain and that Spain has drawn
up conditions for peace which offer
basis for negotiations.
Premier Sagasta is quoted as saying
Spain wants peace, but 1t must be an
honorable peace, as Spain deserves.
Continuing, the Premier is said to have
remarked :-.:The army is anxious to re-
sist to the last. But the Government
cannot consent to such useless sacri-
fee. Had we our fleet, the situation
would be different.
The pacific tendency is increasing. The
general public take favorable view OF
the suggestion that the powers shoulo
attempt the re-establishment of peace
| But. it is said, contrary to the reports
| current, France has not taken the initia-
tive.
The Minister for War; General Correa,
| is quoted as declaring. in an interview
that he thought peace might be arranged
on the following terms:-
! The United States and Spain to agree
to let the Cubans decide by a plebiscite
whether they desire independence or AL
! tonomy under the suzerainty of Spain.
