sMadrid, June &c, 4 p m.-The cabinet
held long session to- day for the purpose
of devislng national defences, Senior Sa-
gasta. the premier, endeavoring to per-
suade his colleagues to defer the consider
alton OF domestic questions.
Changes in the ministry were discussed
The tone Of the newspaper press Is de-
spondent, and many journals bemoan the
fact that the Powers have abandoned
spain while she is defending their cause
They say that France, having received
commercial concessions from Washington,
remains indifferent, while Germany keeps
in the background and Russia uses Spain
as cats paw in her diplomacy
spain must in no case, the papers de-
clare, accept the Intervention of Europe
1t would be better to treat directly with the
enemy.
1t IS hoped IN official circles that the
Spanish forces will be able to defend San
tiago until Gen. Pondo's achievements
arrive there by forced marches. The Amer
leans are advancing IN three columns, via
Alacares, Firmega and Juragua, flanked
by insurgents, in order to force the Spanish
positions at Sevllla and Gran Pena.

AMERICAN PLUCK ADMIRED.
Comments of London Papers on the
Opening Fight.


London. June H.-The morning papers
are unanimous in praising the pluck and
fighting qualities which the Americans
have displayed in the skirmishes before
Santiago de Cuba.
After the scare caused by rating too
cheaply the Spanish knowledge of bush
lighting, which cost the Americans dearly,
the experience probably VIII teach them a
useful lesson for the future. This is the
burden of the general opinion.
There is considerable comment as to Adj
miral Camara's movement. His stopping
at Port Said is puzzling, Tut the assump-
ton is that he probably is awaiting fresh
instructions from Madrid.
Few believe that he wan ever reach Ma
Mia or IloilO, which is regarded as a more
likely destination, owing to coalng difh-
culties. A dispatch from Cairo says: IF
Admiral Camara Goals al Port Said he
would not, underithe neutrahtyrlaw. be
allowed to enter the Suez canal. 1t is sup
posed If he traVerses the canal that he
VIII endeavor 10 obtain coal at Obock, on
the Gulf of Aden.''
In any event the matter Is regarded as
of no importance since it is recognized
that he car do nothing to interfere with
the American operations OF retard the fall
of Manila.
The Times, reviewing the operations,
says: THE fall of Santiago will undoubt-
eddy produce a moral effect al Madrid, but
these operations are Wholly subordinate
and but for SPANS financial and other
weaknesses would not materially affect the
issue of the war"
The editorial expresses surprise that the
United States has NOT already sent fly
ing squadron TO the Spanish coast, and il
declares that the establishment OF a Phil
ippine republic under the American protec-
ton is impossible. the mixed races there
being quite incapable of stlfgovernment."
