sPANrARDs TIRED OF STRIFE.
Residents of Catalonia Issue n Mani
festo FavorinE Peace.

Madrid, June 1S-There is considerable
comment here to-day over a long confer
ence which has just taken place between
the British ambassador to Spain, Sir Hen
ry Drummond Wolfe, and the Spanish
minister for war, Gen. Correa.
The newspapers of this city to-day pub
lish the text of a manifesto from the in
habltants OF Catalonia, OF which BARGE
Iona is the capital in favor of peace be-
tween Spain and the United States.
The manifesto is signed by thlrty-nve as
sociations and eighteen local newspapers.
1t says the present evils are due TO
the existing regime. which is nothing but
a government of disorder and neglect"
After recalling the fact that the Span
ish monarchs have lost possession after
possession, 1t says "The United States
government is guilty of unjustihable ag-
gression, but II the war is prolonged,
Spain will be completely ruined.
"A painful amputation is a hundredfold
preferable TO a terrible and disastrous
war. and any transaction eventually made
will not be more honorable after the coun-
try is ruined The blood of her valued
eOldiers shed and starvation has ravaged
a majority of the worlSmen's homes
The manifesto then depicts the grievous
internal situation and says: Spain asks
immediate peace, despite the opposition
OF those who desire the utter destruction
of the country In order TO impose their
domination In this ruin.
1.-THE sooner peace Is concluded the more
advantageous IL will be.
ut Is the duty OF everybody to endeavor
to force the government 20 obtain peace"
'nhe documents concludes by predicting
unless n speedy peace Is secured a COM
plete internal collapse, which will enguf
economic prosperity and political organ
isms and launch the country into a state
of anarchy or arbitrary despotism.
