After everything is taken into account
II Is the element OF sex that gives enc

SUBMITTED BY BLAyCO.
NECESSITY or MAKING PEACE
1t is Universally Admitted I'm Spain,
but the Necessity of Making IL
Quickly Is Not Reaiixed-Govern-
mcnt in No Hurry.

MADRID, July Is, p. M.-Lieutenant
General Correa. Minister OF War, ha'
received a dispatch from General Bianco
conveying General Toral's report OF the
capitulation OF Santiago de Cuba. Gene
raj ToraPs report is dated Saturday eve
ming, July 18th, and its details accord
with the reports already published.
FREE HAND TO TORAL
LONDON, July ls.-The Madrid corre-
spondent Of the Times says:
"Captain-General Blanco and General
Toral were given d free hand in the sur
render OF Santiago. IS the government
did not desire to expose itself to such
criticism as followed the destruction or
Admiral Cerveras squadron. when II was
alleged that the government ordered Ad-
mirai Cervera TO quit the bay.
PEACE QUESTION.
THE necessity of making peace is now
universally admitted, but the necessity
Of making IL quickly is not generally rea-
lized. and partly owing 10 Senior Sagasta's
indecision, apparently nothing definite is
beng done by the government which
seems in no hurry to make proposals"
