RUMoR OF A WAR MINISTRY.

If the report that Sagasta has retired from
the management of the government in
Spain, and that the new Ministry will be
made up from th9 military element is true,
the prospects of an early peace which have
seemed so bright the past few days, are
bighted. If the Ministry of which Sagasta
is the head has retired it is because he will
not obey the dictates of the war party. It's
retirement may mean that the party of
moderation which recalled Weyler and sent
Blanco to Cuba to make a show of a con-
ciliatory policy cannot longer resist the war
party, which is made up of Weylerites and
the Carlos faction. If such is the case, it
means that Spain will continue the war to
the bitter end of annihilation which means
fighting until there is no longer an army
to fight. 1t means that town after town
must be besieged and the troops in them
starved or driven out
Such folly on the part of men of any in
telligence is inconceivable. In all Spain
there cannot be "a man of intelligence who
cannot see from the events of the past two
months that there is no possible chance for
that country. Until all the powers had re-
fused time and again to render Spain the
least assistance there was an excuse for it
to hold on and hope. Repeated refusals to
assist have been followed by intimations
that the struggle is hopeless and that Spain
should make the best terms possible
If it is true that the ultra war element
has come into power to continue the war
it presents the most remarkable spectacle
of a government which can no longer fur
nsh men nor means for the prosecution of
a war insisting that it's army, which it cam
not reach, shall fight or starve to annihila-
ton. If the new Ministry proclaims con-
tinuation of the war until the men it can
not help are overcome it will furnish new
proof of the unfitness of Spain TO rule col
ones and make enemies of those who have
been disposed TO be friendly
If a war Ministry shall hereafter decree
that the isolated Spanish army in Cuba
shall fight to the bitter end, the conflict
may be prolonged until the fall months and
result in Il wanton loss of life and the great
er distress Of the Inflated residents of Cuba.

IrALY's pRETENsIoNs.

II has been announced that Italy will inn
prove the occasion OF our engagement with
Spain to interfere in a conflict between
Argentina and Chile which has been long
time pending. Because so large part of
the inhabitants of Argentina are Italians
the rulers of Italy assume that they have
cause to interfere. Italy is trying to keep
up the appearance of being a frst-elass
government and to do it. is taxing its peo-
pie to starvation Corruption has honey
combed the official classes. To have an
immense army and navy and to maintain
costly court and government is the ambition
of the rulers. To maintain this extrava-
gance the people of Italy are so taxed that
landed estates are nearly worthless. while
the populace is the most wretched in Eu-
rope The taxation imposed upon the neces-
saries OF life is often several times the
market price. The peasantry subsists upon
a scanty supply OF inferior food The inn
migrants who come to US by thousands from
Italy are among the most wretched and ig-
norant that reach our shores, yet they are
said to be the better sort of the populace.
And yet the monarchy of Italy. which tries
to keep in company with the powers. main

WASHINGTON. July 1l.-Captain General
Blanco is making desperate efforts to get
in supplies through the American blockade
lines. He is now causing 10 be loaded
steamer at Mexican port with the inten-
ton of running the blockade and bringing
food and ammunition to the beleaguered
city. This is a large ship of about $500
tons, and she already has taken on boun-
tifuI supply of food. and is expected to load
100000 cartridges. The craft is believed to
be the steamer MonIevdeo, now at Vera
Cruz. and protests have been lodged with
the Mexican government by the American
consul there against the clearance OF the
vessel. The A4oDtevideo Is an auxiliary
cruiser of the Spanish navy, II is said. and
