ing from its correspondent:
MADRID, Thursday.-The govern
ment, it is stated, has received tele-
gram announcing the surrender of Ma.
Mia 10 Admiral Dewey.
1t is understood that peace negotia-
tions, if entered upon, will be conduct
ed from London either by Moret or
Bernabe. probably the former.
In political circles it is said that if
the Presidents terms are hard General
Correa will resign and be succeeded by
Lopez Dominique.
Marshal Martinez Campos has issued
declaration in favor of immediate
peace. So has General Azcarraga.
The papers express indignation
against the United States that hostili-
ties have not ceased upon Spain's de-
claration that she wished to negotiate
peace.
The Stock Exchange has doomed
upon peace prospects. Most stocks
have gone up FIVE points.
PARIS, July pa dispatch from

not oppose any negotiations in favor OF
peace
LONDON, July %. Dispatches re-
ceived here from Washington and Mad
rid to-day agree in asserting that the
peace negotiations will be conducted in
London by o. S. Ambassador Hay and
Spanish commission of one, the Mad
rid dispatch naming Senior Moret, as
the Spanish representative. There is
the best authority for saying that Col.
Hay has not undertaken any peace ne
gotiations nor given any inlimation
that he expects to do so.

announcing the surrender of Manila to
Admiral Dewey.

All peace propositions seem to hinge Oh
these islands and news from Admiral
Dewey and General Merritt is anxious
ly awaited. The press dispatch of this
morning announcer that Manila had
surrendered was read with great ir-
crest in official circles and the war and
navy departments were besieged with
requests for confirmation of the news.
No official dispatches. however have
been received. Among raval and army
officers the surrender of Manila has
been expected for some lime and con
sequently much credence is placed in
the press report. Offices who are in a
position to judge freely predict that
Manila has fallen and that an official
dispatch to that effect will soon be re-
ceived.
A decisive movement was looked fer
az soon as General Merritt and his
forces arrived, and all think that Il Q

days ago. Admiral Dewey has fire.
guently reported to the Navy Depart
ment that he could take the city at any
time, but did not wish to do 80 until a
force sufficient to occupy it had arriv-
ed. The arrival of General Merritt
has overcome this difficulty, and it is
thought that the surrender of Manila
has been demanded under threat Of
bonn bardment. Officers are generally
of the opinion that the city has sur
rendered, preferring this to battle.

KEY WEST, July 29.-Hunger is kill
ing in Havana. Rich and poor alike
are bowling to it. Since the extended
blockade has closed the ports of Sagua
la Grande, Nipe aud Batabano, no pro
visions have entered the Cuban capital,
and General Blanco's scanty store In
the warehouses has been exhausted.
Bread riots have already begun. Two
brothers, bakers, were killed by mob
for defending two dozen loaves. The
mob looted the shop before the arrival
of the civil guard, leaving behind three
of their number seriously wounded by
the bakers. Charity is dead because
the wealthy themselves are in need OF
assistance, the Spanish regulars, despite
the misery, preserve some show OF ord
err. The soldiers are marched to and
from work in regular order, as it is
feared mutiny might break out at
any moment. AS it is, the volunteers
are loud in their murmurirg Daily
assertions are common. The Spanish
regulars pin their faith on the Camaia
squadron. which they are promised will
sail for Havana within few weeks. 1t
is believed in the city that General Lee
has landed in Pinar del Rio with $4,000
men, and they are expected before the
entertainments any day. Gen. Blanco
is acting entirely on the defensive. The
insurgents are camped with rifle shot of
the suburbs of Guanabacoa, Mariana,
and Jesus del Monte.
KEY WEST, July ga letter re-
ceived here from Havana says the
troops have not been paid for seven
months. Business has been suspended
