Madrid, Aug. 8. p. MIN the confer
ence between senor sagasta and Senor
Slvela, the latter urged that il was inn
perative to summon the Cortes for. the
negotiations of a treaty Of peace.
Gen. Polievaja, who was present, de-
clined subsequently to speak of the con-
ference to the representatives of the press
on the ground that his duty as a soldier
imposed secrecy upon him, but Gen. Az
carraga said that if Spain possessed ade-
quate resources, the war should be con-
tinued in order to secure more acceptable
conditions; otherwise peace ought to be
Immediately concluded,
Gen ChinchiIla, captain general Of Mad
rid. said: I'VE have a brave and we'll
disciplined army and it is ready to go
wherever it is sent"
Later, Senor Sagasta conferred with
Senor Salmeron, the Republican leader,
who told the premier, in the course of
long conference, that he blamed the gov
ernment greatly for closing the Cortes and
sitting the press.
After the interview he said he had as
sured Senior Sagasta that he would reserve
his opinion on the general situation until
the chamber was convoked, but that,
neither directly nor indirectly. would he
support the existing oligarchy, which is
the cause of Spain's misfortunes"
This evening the premier will confer with
Gen. Weyler, Marshal Primo de Rivera,
Senior Gamazo, minister of public instruc-
ton and public works, and Senor Romero
Giron, minister of the colonies.
An official dispatch from Porto Rico
says: american cavalry, assisted by the
Insurgents, have captured Fueneta and
Cabejas, the lighthouse station at San
Juan"
At the cabinet council this evening, Sc
nor Sagasta recounted toAhis colleagues
what had been said in the conference with
the various political leaders early In the
day. No decision was reached.
The council also considered an official
dispatch from Santiago signed by Gen.
Toral saying that owing to the smallness
of the camp which had been conceded, the
absence of tents and the improper food
the number of Spanish sick hae increased
to 10000, the death rate being from u to
II daily.
The dispatch said also that the beds now
were altogether insufficient for so large a
number of sick soldiers, and that their
transportation home ought to commence
Immediately.
Gen. Toral informs The government that
the wound of Gen. Linares had not devel-
oped any complications, but was causing
him great pain.

SITUATION AT MANZANILO.
Garrison Apt to Surrender Should
American Force Appear.

Santiago de Cuba, Aug. A. 2 p. m.-(De-
layed in Transmission)-Th warships
Massachusetts and Dixie arrived at Guam
tanamo bay last night and Immediately
started coaling.
Commander Todd of the Wilmington re-
ports that the conditions at Manzanilo, as
learned from Gen. Rios, are as follows:
ThereN are about 1000 regulars, 1000 vol
unteers and 500 bombarderos, or firemen
there. They appear to be well supplied
with cattle and provisions, but are said
to be short of ammunition. Recent events
in that vicinity have disheartened them
and it is believed the appearance of an
American force, even of only 1000 men,
would result in the capitulation of the
place.
So far as the forts are concerned, they
amount to little or nothing, beyond some
field pieces temporarily placed in position
and belonging to the army But 1t is said
there are about twenty field guns in the
vicinity.
The last expedition to Manzanillo took
the Spaniards completely by surprise, and
they thought an American force was land
ing south of the town, near Nlquero.
p squadron bulletin says the Spanish
forces generally. from Manzanillo to Trim
idad are in a very demoralized condition.
Santa cruz, the port on the south coast
of the province of Puerto Principe is re-
ported to be deserted. There is no ship
ping there.

PEACE TALK IN SPAIN.
Martinez de CampOs FavOrs Accept
ing American Terms.

ing American Terms.
Madrid, Aug. ). noon.-The conferences
between the political leaders on the sub
ject of the peace terms continue.
senor Silvela, the conservative leader,
acting on behalf of Senor CASTELAR,, the
Republican leader who was prevented by
illness from being present, has conferred
with the premier, Senor Sagasta, on the
subject.
He said Senior CASTELAR,, although an ad-
Vocate of peace, was of the opinion that
in negotiating it's conclusion the govern
ment should remember the Virginus af-
fair when the energy displayed by Spain
in dealing with the United States saved
Spanish interests and he thought every
effort should be made 10 preserve Spanish
sovereignty over Porto Rico"
Senior Slvela added that he personally
did not favor any change of policy.
The Liberal, moderate Republican, to-
day publishes an interview with Marshal
Martinez de Campos, who is quoted as
saying: IT openly favor peace. Every
thing that has happened in this war
could have been foreseen, but the most
pessimistic could never have imagined
that our misfortunes would be so great
the destruction of Montejos and Cervera's
squadrons the surrender of Santiago and
the rapid and unresisted occupation of
Porto Rico No one could have imgained
it, even taking into consideration the
superiority of the United States
''Neither the present government nor
any other can change our situation. 1t
would be madness 10 think of rejecting
President McKinley's conditions. The Lib
eral party can bring about peace, but
Premier Sagasta should not be asked to
sign it, Such a course would not be
prudent and another Liberal cabinet
should be constructed"
Marshal de Campos, it is pointed out
evidently referred to Senor Gamazo as the
man who should succeed Senor Sagasta
as premier.
Senior Gamazo Is the present minister of
public instruction. His name has been
frequently mentioned recently in connec-
ton with the premiership, in the event of
the formation of a new cabinet

Ject of official inquiry by Secretary Alger
yesterday. Details of the latter telegram
are not obtainable, but it is apparent that
Gen. Miles is determined to repress sternly
at the very beginning any departure from
nlIltary discipline, even among the volun-
teer element in his command.
AS near as can be gathered the officers
or the Sixth declined TO submit to an ex-
animation which was prescribed by the
brigade officers, the proper authority, and
upon the instance Of the latter they
sought TO resign their commission.
Gen. Miles himself is dealing with the
case and if he should decide to allow these
ofhcers to resign or discharge them from
the service, the Sixth Massachusetts will
be called on to appoint their successors.
1t can be said that up to this time the
officials are thoroughly satisfied with Gen.
Miles conduct of the Porto Rican cam
paign, and they do not hesitate to admit
that the events that have occurred since
his landing at Guanica fully justify the
arbitrary change made by him in the care
fully laid plans of the department for the
conduct of the campaign.
