LONDON, June 1.-THE Vienna corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
Authentic reports have been received here
that the situation in Madrid is advancing
with the greatest rapidity. There is no
treat the Intervention of the powers almost
Immediately, and confidential inquiries in
this sense have already been made here. A
rumor circulated here this evening that
revolution had broken out in Madrid is not
confirmed. But very noticeable is the move
ment of the Carlists whom Don Carlos has
summoned to conference at Brussels. 1t
is said by those who are in the encourage
of the pretender that some great action is
on the eve of being taken"
Another dispatch from Vienna says: ''The
government has declined to initiate media
ton between the United States and Spain,
as it wishes to avoid the appearance of
making intervention seem only dynastic IN
action, in the interest CT the Queen Regent,
which perhaps might give fatal offense.
Nevertheless, a decided opinion is held that
the time for Intervention is very nearly at
hand, although hesitation to take the first
step is evident everywhere. The probability
is that Russia will undertake the initiative
within one or two days. 1t is known that
the American government has become more
he of MT
With regard to the Philippines, no doubt
exists in official minds in Vienna that the
islands cannot remain in the hands of
America. The insurgents there reject all
ly conceivable that America could provide
a sufficient force to enable her to take full
possession of so extensive a group of
islands. The probability is that the powers
will find way out of the difficulty by es-
tablshng kind of protectorate, which per-
haps England might undertake. One fact,
however, is incontrovertible-the united
Cabinets are agreed that the Philippines
must remain an open market for the COM
merce of the world
The Madrid correspondent of the Standard
says: General Linares, commanding the
Spanish forces in the province of Santiago
de Cuba, cables that nothing has occurred
during the last twenty-four hours" that
the Americans have not succeeded in ef-
the harbor. General Linares says the re-
port that Spanish torpedo boat destroyer
has been sunk is untrue.
The Madrid correspondent of the Times
says: whether Admiral Camara's feet,
with reinforcements, ever sailed for the
Philippines is doubtful. Many people think
it may soon be more urgently required near
er home. Meanwhile the political impor
tance of events in the Philippines is fully
recognized. The Imparcial says: AS bear

Manila is the colonial future of Spain, and
in the promptitude with which assistance is

significant. but it would be a mistake to
assume confidently that the Spanish govern
ment is about to take the initiative in that
direction. All 1 can venture to say is that
peace has been brought nearer by recent
events"
The Madrid correspondent of the Daily
News says: THE newspaper attacks on
the government are actuated by friendliness
in order 20 prepare the public mind for
catastrophe and to exhaust it's anger Prob
ably Admiral Cervera has been instructed
not to telegraph bad news. 1t is doubtful
whether Admiral Camara will go to the
Philippines. His squadron is a mere rem
nant, but it may put to sea in order to allay
nervous excitement"
The Madrid correspondent of the Times
says: The Chamber of Deputies to-day
showed it had quite recovered its equanimity
BY seeking to settle down to discussion of
the estimates. Some members seemed
ashamed of the pessimst excitement dis
played at the previous sitting, when Captain
General Augustus Manila dispatches were
