With her eyes swelling with tears she
turned to the generals assembled on

ter to their care. 1t was n touching
sight.
The incomprehenslble mercurial
Spanish temperament was again visi-
bly, demonstrated. Thursday everybody
was talking wildly of war. Yesterday,
after Il nights reflection, peace is the
word upon almost every lip. 1t is curl
GUS in this respect that the impression
made by the conduct of the American
naval men toward their Spanish prls-
oners has produced feeling highly
appreciated here that Americans have
the innate spirit of military chivalry,
which up to now it has been denied
they possessed; in fact, as n Spaniard
sitting net to me justly said, 1T shows
them to be a race of men, who have
the true military instincts"

ENDING OF WAR.
C-LiEVE THAT SPAIN WILL SEEK
AN ARMISTICE.
Camara's Return is signiicant-'rhe British
Ambassador Denied That lie Had Inter-,
posed-Hope of Linares' surrondca-An-
other Assault ON Santiago.

Washington, July 9.-Thcre was
combinations of peace talk today aud
other evidences in this line are coming
10 the surface.
Such for instance was the confirma-
ton by tile state department. of the
report that the Cadiz fleet was return
ing to SPAIN since it is scarcely con
ccivable that the Spanish government
would from the last remnant of their
fleet to destruction at the hands of
Watson's squadron, which in all proba
bility could head it off before it could
reach Cadl2, its home port.
Therefore the assumption is that the
Spanish government calculates that ut
least an armistice precedent to peace,
will be Obtained before the ships reach
Splain.
An unusually definite report was in
circulation that the United States had
been sounded in the interest of peace
by the British ambassador, but when it
was brought to Sir Julian Papncefote's
attention, he authorized an explicit
denial and said he had not communcat-
ed with the government in any way
regarding the termination of the war.
Conditions at Santiago are also re-
garded as favorable just now, consider
ing General Skaters dispatch yester-
day morning, which was the last re
ceived. General Skaters action IN
allowing General Linares to commune
cate freely with Madrid is an impor-
tnat indication that there is ut least
hope that the Spanish general con
templates surrender. However that
may he, every preparation is making
for 4 great engagement, the final one
at Santiago it is hoped, which may be-
gin even as early as today, If General
Shafter's reinforcements are on hand.
Tire department has not heard so far
of the arrival of these soldiers, but be
lieves they have reached Shafter.
The greatest difficulty has been en-
countered in landing troops and sup
and the wind setting straight on that
southern coast, the masters of the
transports have become alarmed and
taken their ships many miles out to
sea, necessitating long journeys by the
ships boats, which make their landing
through the surf.
SO slow has been the service under
these conditions that Secretary Alger
has ordered Shafter to seize the trans
ports one and all and place them on
the coast as he chooses without regard
to the fears of their masters.
Ten days ago lighters We're started
down from Mobile and Tampa but so
far General Shafter has received only
one. Theselighters have been a night
mare to the department ever since.
The captains tie up in creeks at the
slightest signs of bad weather, while
the charter rate, 500 day, runs on.
Orders have been sent forward to ter
inmate this state of things even if it
necessitates the loss of few lighters
in the effort to reach Shafter.
The government has not yet deter
mined how to dispose of Admiral Ger
vera. A feeling of the highest Ad-
miration prevails here at the ga1lan1y

noble spirit exhibited by him under
