LONDON, June 3O.-The Madrid cor
respondent of The Standard says;
Captain General Augusti has re-.
newed his request for permission to
promise the Philippine insurgents ex-
tensive reforms Now that the cortes
is closed it is understood that Senor
Puigcerver, minister of finance, and
Senior Gamazo, minister of public in
struction and public works, desire to
resign. Senior Gamazo opposes pursuing
the war until Spain is politically and
financially ruined. The whole world
having recognized her gallant sacrifices
and traditional bravery, he thinks the
government ought to have the moral
courage to fix reasonable limit for the
national sacrifices. 7ss,.
1T Is an open secret that Senior MOret
and many Liblral statesmen share the
views of Senior Gamazo. The peace agi-
tation is spreading in the provinces, but
not at Madrid. frit
THE government has completed its
arrangements for coaling and provision
ing Admiral Camara's squadron. and he
should now be able to reach Manila be-
fore the end of July, after stopping at
several ports en- route to receive in
structions."
The Madrid correspondent of The
Times says:
ministers deny the rumors that Spain
is purchasing cruisers from China or
other nations. According to El Impair
cial, the demand for a cash payment Of
the canal dues delayed Admiral Ca
mara's squadron. The dues, amounting,
we are trustworthy informed, to less
than 100000 francs, are now paid. Duke
Almodovar de Rio, minister of foreign
affairs, denied in the council, FL Impair
cial says, that Italy has refused to coal
Admiral Camara's feet.
IF the United States imagines that
the threat to lombard Spanish ports
would induce the Spaniards to recall
Camara and 10 sue for peace. the Amer
leans are bound to be disappointed. The
threat has only tended to excite the
bulldog qualities Of the Spanish nation
al character. When these are aroused
prudence and logic are alike powerless
The peace prospects. therefore, are
much less bright than they We're week
ago"
The Madrid correspondent of The
Daily Mail says;
"The Antonio Lopez, whose captain
ran her ashore at Salinas after she had
escaped from American warships tha'
had prevented her landing a cargo o.
provisions and war material near SaI
Juan de Porto Rico. had sailed from
Spain. She was chased by the United
States auxiliary cruisers st. Louis and
st. Paul. The Concha and Isabella at
tackled the st. Paul, forcing the Amer
leans to retire after several hours fight
ing. r
Troops were sent to Salinas to pro
tect the landing Of the cargo of the An
tonic Lopez. The American cruiser
afterward returned and opened fire ol
the Spanish ships and the party land
ing the cargo. Severe fighting con
tinues.
"The government has wired Captaii
General AugustI at Manila to resist I
the end. as the voyage OF Admiral ca
mara will be expedited"
