WASHINGTON. July 5-Unoflcial ad-
vices % the administrttion from sources
heretofore accurate Iy Spain Will sue
for peace this week.
All views were strongly optimistic here
to-day. Possibly to- presidents express
ed hope for peace in his proclamation
issued last night nay have been the iirst
basis for these rosy views, but there were
conhrmatory evidence. coming from
sources that have so far proved 10 be- uu-
faulngly accuratei thlt seem TO afford
foundation for the Expectation that some
overtures I'm the direction Of peace may
shortly be expected though, of course
IL cannot DO believed that peace Itself
could be consummaied Immediately
The most significant advice was one
from Spain stating, positively that within
the week the country would sue Tor
peace. 80
n was also d5HaroI that Martinez
campos. Weylers predecessor as Cap
tain-General OF cuba. and one Of the
best and most Reasonable minds Of Spain,
is To- be made Prime Minister OF the new
Spanish Cabinet. which is sure 20 be
erected within fcw days upon the
wreck OF the Sacasta Cabinet. This in
formation acc0rds well with adNices
that have been coming In for the past
week that some of the European powers
at least have boslirred themselves TO
bring pressure upon Spain 90 yield 10
the inevitable and ask for peace
no ONERTURES.
Again. it can boz stated authoritauvely
that up 10 tins time no cvcrtures have
been made TO our Government looking to
peace This fact. however does not DO
any sense Offset or qualify the FIRST state
rnRr-TUfHUf. that
direction are afoot in Europe. 10 could
not be expected that the United states
Government would receive kindly q sug-
gostion that D.. should make the initial
movement toward peace. and, therefore.
no Ovcrturcs from he European Powers
or from Spain dircrtV could Doe expected
until the Spanish Government had either
directly or through some friendly power
made am advance 300 that direction. When
that is DONE however and some such
move is expected very shortly. our gov
crnmont will bee perfectly ready to fc-
spond n approached in tho proper spirit.
