ACTIVE PEACE DISCUSSIONS.

THE EUROPEAN PRESS AGREES THAT NE
GOTIATIONs ARE TO LITTLE PROFIT.
London. July 1.-THE press OF all the Conti-
mental cities is most actively discussing the
prospects Of peace. propagating various rumors
to the general effect that the negotiations are
all to very little profit
The Russian papers are very bitter against
the United States. The 81. Petersburg mo-
vosti" characterzes the destruction OF Admiral
Cerveras fleet az brutal slaughter" and ac-
cuses the Americans Of employing some KIND
Of new explosive machine or bomb contrary TO
international Law"
The busiest discussion Of all. 50 far as Amer
lea is concerned occupies the German nevspa-
pors Their tone Is much nder since Ambas
sador Whites Fourth Of July speech at Lepsic
but the papers are unable to refrain from their
bcli.tling criticisms OF the American Army.
The National Zeitung." however. publishes a
serious and interesting article the naval
aspects Of the war. and draws the conclusion
that the Importance OF machinery has been fully
demonstrated. 1t says:
The Spaniard, were decimated by the supe-
rior quick firing guns OF the Americans. The
battle of Santiago has shown that only machine
eurs and accurate shooting are OF any account
in modern naval warfare
The writer OF the article expects that "all ma
tions will profit by this lesson. and concludes
with the expression OF opinion that "irIefutable
proof has been given the world that the
strongest military nation is OF little account as
a power In the world unes. provided with a
powerful! and adequate fleet"

REALIZING THE TRUTH.

London July 1.-THE Madrid correspondent
Of THE Times" commenting on the growth OF
the peace sentiment. says
Facts have begun to be recognized. and cal
cuations published showing the losses of
each Of the warning parties These statistics
dispel all illusions and prove that the final re-
suit cannot be doubted. The only question re-
naming Is as to the most opportune moment for
opening peace negotiations.
'Sehor Silveas organ, the "Tienpo.' puts 1t
very plainly: If there be any one who still
hopes that after the destruction Of our squad
ron. Cuba can be for Spain anything but an
amphitheatre where the martyrs OF our army
will astonsh the world by their snfferings and
heroism. let him say it aloud. For our part
we know nobody who has any doubts on the
subject
Some sanguiHe people still imagine that
America may yet be sckened Of war; but they
have been reminded that the Americans also
have National amour propre. and that II de-
feated they will insist on taking TIER revenge
before negotiating. In that case woe to the an
tngonist who should first be completely ex-
hausted."
The correspondent then refers to influences
counteracting the peace sentiment. such as the
feeling OF the Army on the subject. and says:
The Carlst organs recommend lighting 70

peace Is in sight. but It is stl a long way off
AS to its approaching or receding In the I'M
mediate future. much will depend upon the at
titude Of the American Government and press
Nothing has fostered peace tendencies here more
than the recent generous recognition by the
Americans in of1cal dispatches and newspaper
articles Of the fine soldierly qualities OF their
antagonists. After all II Is said by men who
formerly used very different language. these
