LOOKING TO PEACE.

There are Some Indications that Spain
will SIako OVsrtursE withIn Few
Days.
WASHINGTON. July 7.-AH views on
the spanish-AmerIcan war were strong
ly optimistic here to-day. Possibly the
Presidents expressed hope for peace In
his proclamation issued last night may
have been the first basis for these rosy
Views, but there was contlrmatory evil
dences coming from sources that have
so far proved to be unfailingly accu-
rate that seem to afford foundation for
the expectation that some oyertures in
the direction OF peace may be expected
shortly though of course peace Itself
cannot be consummated Immediately.
The most significant advice was one
from Spain stating positively that With
in the week their country would sue for
peace. 1t was also declared that Mar
tinez Campos, weyier's predecessor as
captain general OF Cuba and one OF the
best andm reasonable minds of Spain.
is to be made prime minister OF the new
Spanish cabinet, which is sure to be
erected within few days on the wreck
OF the Sagasta cabinet. This informa-
tion accords well with adylcts that have
been coming for the past week to show
that some OF the European powers at
least have bestlrred themselves TO bring
pressure upon Spain to yield 20 the In
eVltnbie and ask for peace.
1t can be stated nuthorltatlveiy, how
ever. that up TO this time no oyerturcs
have been made TO our government
looking to peace. This fact, however,
does not in any sense onset or quallty
the FIRST statements, namely, that move.
ments in that direction are nfo0t In Eu-
rope. II could not be expected that the
United States government would receive
kindly n suggestion that II should make
the initial movement toward peace and
therefore no ovcrtures from the Euro
pean powers or from Spain directly
could be expected until the Spanish gov
ernmeut had either directly or through
some friendly power made nm advance
lE that direction. When that is done
and some such move is expected very
shortly. our government will be per-
fcctly ready TO respond II approached In
the proper spirit.
Meanwhile the war goes on satlsfac-
torlly Ut every point,

than ever"
Senior Moret said It was imperative
that the United States should issue VIC

and surplus wealth compelled It to pur-

Florida ports In central and western

and ammunition were landed for Gen.

past, however, and the full stock OF
guns, ammunition and supplies Is In

WASHINGTON, D. G., July 7.-Com-
munseation between Washington and
the feet on Havana being more diff
cult than with the fleet of Santiago,
possibly accounts for the failure up to
this time to receive oficial conarma-
ton Of the newspaper report Of the
sinking of Mnriel yesterday OF the
spanish cruiser Alfonso x11. While
not a great or powerful ship. the Al
fonso XII was a serviceable cruiser.
The naval officers would rather hear OF
her destruction than that of any vessel
remaining In the Spanish navy.
She occupied the berth Of the Maine
and when the latter entered Havana
harbor 1t was to the Alfonso's buoy that
the Maine was moored, while the cruis-
er moved her berth to the next station
above. While It has never been estab-
llshed who planted the Internal machine
which destroyed the Maine, the officers
of the Alfonso XII never have been
cleared Of suspicion, for It Is said Mat
the only practicable means OF planting
the mine In the position where It must
have lain would have been through
some agencies on the Alfonso XII.
The navy Is preparing for grand
hunt throughout the West Indies. There
are a number OF Spanish war craft left,
scattered through coveB on the Cuban
coast and lying In obscure little har.
bors In the West Indian islands. These
are TO be hunted down and captured or
DESTROYED and the movement Is to be-
gin Immediately.
One Of the purposes Of the conference
of the war board was to get the army
and navy more closely together and re.
fute the statements that have been
published to the effect that serious tric-
ton exists between the two arms OF the
service. On this point Secretary Long
to-day expressed himself as follows:
."There Is not the slightest founda-
tion for the suggestion OF anything
but the best feeling between the army
and the navy. Each reJoices In the
splendid herolsm and success OF the
other. They are ready to cooperate for
the honor OF the flag at any time and
anywhere. AS to the two departments,
the war department is always ready to
help the navy department II It should
need anything, and the navy depart
ment has been very glad TO aid the
war department bH the loan OF Its best
scouting vessels for transports and IN
every other way.
