LONDON, June 3O.-A despatch from
Madrid to the Standard says that the Cab
met was in session for several hours to-day.
1t was resolved to postpone the crisis in
the Ministry and await the result Of the
sieges of Manila and Santiago, since
they are powerless In either direction be-
yond sending Admiral Camara's squadron
to Manila and ~instructing Captain Genera
vera to do their best to prolong their re-
sistance and save the fleet at Santiago,
even by taking the risk of a sortie.
The authorities In Cuba are at last con-
WINGED that the Americans are in earnest
in attacking Santiago. Consequently they
have organized and will despatch re-
inforcements, from Holguin, Manzanillo,
and Guantanamo. The relief columns,
with conveys Of mules laden with
provisions, munitions of war and artillery,
are moving slowly owing to the rain
soaked roads. but they will all reach San
tiago and will increase tho defenders there
by from 5000 to 10, 900 seasoned troopA.
The laconio official kilograms provide
scanty information. Most of the news of
the press is derived from London and
Paris, and this is received specifically.
Many Spaniards are still indulging in
illusions.
1t Is stated in official circles that II
Commodore Watson's squadron comes at
all it cannot arrive until after the middle
Of July, thus allowing ample time for the
completion of the licences of the ~arsenals
and towns.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of
Marine are equally active. The flying
squadron, consisting of fast auxiliaries.
will be soonest ready. 1t is destined to
scout and signal the approach of the
Americans. The torpedo ~lotillas at FerPol
and CadiE are ~manauvrlng daily.
The Liberal says: every shortly facts
will impose upon us a solution, deanitive
and without appeal. Terrible, then, will
be the account rendered by the direct
and indirect authors of the paralysis
of the national energies. The nation
will resign itself, willingly or otherwise.
to whatever necessity thef ates may i'm
pose, but 1t will not suffer the causes of Its
disgrace to remain. nor grant immunity to
those responsible for its humiliation"
LONDON, June 3O.-A despatch to the
Chronicle from Madrid says that
the American menace to the Spanish
coast will postpone peace indefi
nitely. Tho American fleet Is ex.
pected In three weeks to seize bases in the
Canary Islands and elsewhere. Even Prime
Minister Sagasta thinks that negotiations
will then be impossible.
BERLIN, June 3O.-The KreuE ZeitunG
saws that an interchange of ideas 10 pro
ceeding rapidly by the representatives oil
the powers in Paris, not chiefly with the
view to forming a basis for negotia
lions for peace, but rather looking tc
concerted action In the event Of the devel
opment Of war in European waters. I'll
cabinets are putting out feelers to draw
one another's views. Germany does no
believe that the threat to send a squadron
is anything more than an attempt tc
brighten Spain, but it is believed that /
the threat was put in force the present
obseryant attitude of the powers would be
reconsidered.
