SPAIN SICK OF THE STRUGGLE.
GOVERNMENT FELT TO HAVE RE-
TRAYED THE NATION.

Spnninrds Believed Ministry Now De-
sireS Peace to Save Itself and tho
Dynasty-Thc Dynasty in n Most
UnenviHbIe Light and the Army
and Interests of the Country Ar
rnyed Against II.
London, June %, 6 a. m.-The Daily Tel
egram publishes this morning a long let
ter from Madrid. in the course of which
the writer says: Peace or war is the all
absorbing topic.
every nth word shouted in the ever
crowded cafes is 'paz' or guerra and the
desire for peace Is unanimous.
THE feeling of the nation, especially
the military branch, is, however, that the
government has betrayed the country
and now wants 20 arrange for peace to
save the dynasty and itself.
Therefore, peace must be made with
the nations expression sent, not behind It's
back by private letters to the Pope and
the Austro- Hungarian Emperor
1T may be desirable to uphold the min
istry, but the country must be saved even
though the dynasty were to disappear in
the effort.
in fact, the government has succeeded
in placing the dynasty in an unenviable
light and In arraying it against the Span
ish army, and it has also made the ques-
ton of peace and war a choice between
the interests of The dynasty and the well
fare of the Spanish people"

GERMANY IN FOR A GRAB.
Would Not Dare Oppose America and
England as Allies.

London, June 23.-The Berlin correspond
ent of the Times, commenting on the con-
tinued discussion of the Philippines ques-
ton, says:
There win be a storm of indignation in
the German press if the United States
were to become master of the Philippines,
while Germany got nothing. In the view
OF many German politicians, anything
would be better than that, and they would
even prefer to see the Intervention OF sew
eral European powers to protect the life
and property of their subjects from the
rebels, followed by the acquisition of a
naval station for each of them
There is, in fact, a strong inclination
to repeat the Chinese drama at Kiao- Chou
whenever opportunity afforded. Relative
ly to what Germany already possesses, she
has everything to gain by such a policy of
fair shares all around
"Thcre can. however, be little doubt that
no European power or combination of pow
egs would venture to prevent the United
States and Great Britain from settling the
future of the Philippines conformity, or at
least under the protection of their conjoint
naval forces. Continental opinion would
not only speedily acknowledge the strength
of an Anglo-American naval alliance, but
would be practically unanimous against in
curing the risk of the commercial conse-
quences of a breuch with the United
States"

GERMANS MAY HOLD MANILA.
FOREIGN WARsHIPS ALLEGED TO
HAVE LANDED MEN.

Every Nationality Represented In

states said to Have Men in the

VIII They Rc-embark When Amer
lean Force Arrives:
London, June 2S.-The Daily News pub
fishes a statement alleged to come from
a correspondent having access to good in
formation, that the occupation of Manila
by parts of the crews of the foreign war
ships there is an accomplished fact. al
though it may probably be three of four
days before the official news arrives by
way of Hong Kong.
THE communication proceeds to say:
over a month ago Admiral Dewey pre-
pared to lombard Manila. At this juno
ture, however new factor was added to
the situation. The German consul. acting
on precise instructions which had just
arrived by the German warship Irene,
strongly opposed a bombardment, These
instructions were clear and categorical and
emanated directly from Emperor Will
iam's cabinet
1T was then that Admiral Dewey asked
for reinforcements and supplied Aguinaldo
with arms, while Germany gathered nav
al force. The intention at Berlin was, If
not to take possession of Manila, at least
to cooperate in the landing, Admiral Dew
ey's force not being sufficient to protect
German interests.
Capt. Gen. Augusti had, on his part, in
formed his government of the situation and
several interviews took place In Madrid
with the German ambassador the result
being it was decided that Capt. Gen. Au-
gusu should appeal to the foreign war
ships at Manila, excluding the American.
to protect the lives and property of the
inhabitants against the insurgents.
1T was an indirect way of capitulatin
while sparing Spanish amour propre.
There is no doubt that Admiral Won Died
erichs has taken command of the forces
landed, although he has not taken posses
sion in behalf of Germany. But Will he,
when the American reinforcements arrive,
be willing to allow his forces to re-em-
bark? The whole question lies there.
THE semi-oticial Post hears from Ant
werp that persons commissioned by the
Washington government to enlist seamen
on neutral soil are said to have enlisted
more than thousand German sailors foI
the American navy and the auxiliary
cruisers. This would explain the difficulty
German captains nave experienced of late
in manning their ships

story That n Volunteer Tried TO XIII
Him Untrue.

Havana, June %, 10:40 a. m.-There is alb
solutely no foundation for the report pub
iished In the United States of an attempt
to assasslnate Capt. Gen. Blanco by a
member of volunteers whose brother, II
was alleged, has been shot for completely
in plot against the government
Gen. Blanco enjoys the esteem of all
classes in Havana, Including the volun-
teers, and is regarded with the utmost con-
fidence as the representative of Spanish
sovereignty. The Cubans admit that they
are under obligations to Gen. Blanco for
the establishment of autonomy In the is
and
The palace guards are from the volun-
tecrs. and several officers of that body are
aides on the generals staff, Gen. Blanco's
public appearances aic frequently the oc-
casions of patriotic demonstrations, and
that he has no fear Of assassination is
shown by the fact that he often rides out
without escort, visiting the fortilications
about Havana without the attendance OF
the usual bodyguard.
Complete tranquility reigns In Havana.
The greatest confidence Is felt that the
Spanish forces will successfully cope with
the American soldiers. who We're yester-
day reported to have arrived on board
transports off the harbor of Santiago de
Cuba. There is great enthusiasm among
the troops and volunteers, who aIe all ana
ious to light against the invaders
Capt. Gen. Blanco denies that he has
decided that there shall be no exchange of
prisoners with the United States. At the
same time, the captain general says he
cannot allow the exchange of Lieut.. Hob
son and the other members of the party
who sailed the Merrmac into the mouth
of the harbor at Santiago de Cuba, for the
reason that the lieutenant and his com
panions had opportunities for seeing the
l1arbor and its uefenses.
The most common prudence, the captain
general says, would forbid that these men
be now given their liberty as proposed by
the United states.
Capt Gen. Dlanco added that he had not
forbidden the approach of vessels bearing
flags of truce, but had only ordered that
no vessel be permitted TO approach within
six miles Of shore, so that it be made I'M
possible for officers of the United States
to make drawings of or inspect fortcesses.

Madrid, June %, p. m.-The governor
of Santiago de Cuba has cabled the gov
ernment as follows: Yesterday morning
the American transports, carrying troops,
took a southeasterly direAtion, but twenty
warships remain before Santiago de Gu

This leads to the supposition that the
Americans are threatening to make a land
ing between Guantanamo and Baiqulri in
order to form base Of operations, with
a view to a simultaneous landing at AS
