RESIGNED.
The Spanish Cabinet Tender Their Resig
nations, with Suggestions That the
Military Element BE Recognized.

Madrid, July 12.-Senor Sagasta went
to the palace yesterday and rendered
his resignation and that of the cabi-
net. 1t is said that he advised the
queen regent to appoint new cabinet
largely consisting of the military ele-
ment which would not necessarily
mean the adoption of a warlile policy,
but probably the reverse.
1t is generally expected that the res
ignation will be accepted, but the re-
suit may possibly be merely partial
reconstruction of the cabinet.
On leaving the cabinet council the
ministers declared that they had mu.
tually engaged to maintain the strict
est silence on the subject of their de-
liberation.
Duke Almodoyar de Rio, minister of
foreign affairs, had an audience with
the queen regent yesterday and an
important conference with the French
am bassador.
1t IS believed the cabinet resigned in
consequence Of irreconciliable differ
ences of opinion on the question of in
itating peace negotiations.

ty to negotiate directly with the United
States were the signs propitious, but
there are so many circumstances to be
considered that it looks as though the
policy Of drift and waiting for some
thing to turn up would continue until
Santiago has fallen. The fall of San
tiago will convince the most sanguine
of the hopelessness of the struggle and
will give the government the desired
/. opportunity at least to suggest an ar
mistice for the decision of terms.
A detailed account has been published
of SPANS naval losses-21 warships
! and 81 merchantmen, as against prac-
tically no losses on the American side.
! This tends to convince the most rabid
war advocate, and, as for long time
past, the whole commercial and indus
trial interests of SPAN are bringing in
fuence to bear in favor of peace.
Paris, July ia letter from Madrid
says that Gen. B]anco, in replying to
| the governments request for his views
of the situation, urges "war to the
end" and asserts that the Cuban VOL
| unteers cannot be reconciled to the idea
! of the handing over of the islands to
the Americans, especially now that a
| great ma ority of tie Cubans favor
! Spain.

PRISONERS OF WAR.
Cervera and Nearly 500 Captured
Members Of His Command Reach
Portsmouth,, N. III. .sg

Portsmouth, N. H., July 1.-The
auxiliary cruiser St. Louis, with TAG
Spanish soldiers, including 81 officers,
arrived in Portsmouth harbor at $3.50
o'clock Sunday morning, and few
minutes later dropped anchor just
above Fishing island. The big liner
left Guantanamo at six o'clock Tues
day afternoon, July S, and did not
make stop until she dropped anchor
in Portsmouth harbor. Including the
prisoners there were 1,O36 people on
board the boat and out of this number
there are 81 sick and wounded Span
iards under the care of surgeons. Adj
mHal Cervera is confined to his cabin,
having been quite ill for the past three
days, although he was able to be
dressed Sunday morning. Capt. En-
late, who was commander of the Viz
caya and is a1hong the prisoners, is
also quite ill, having been wounded
in the head during the battle off San
tiago.
All of the Spanish commissioned Off
! GERS have been on parole and had the
freedom of the ship with one exception
and he was the governor of Santiago
de Cuba, who was trying TO escape
from the city on Admiral Cervera's
flagship when she was destroyed on
that memorable morning of July 8.
He refused to sign the parole papers
and was consequently confined in one
of the cabins under guard. The re-
mainder of the prisoners were con-
| fined between decks and closely guard
ed. A detachment of IS marines from
the United States ship Brooklyn, I'M
T! der Lieut.. Bordan, and 21 marines
from the United States ship Marble
head were put aboard the St. Louis
when she left Guantanamo for the
north, to guard the prisoners, but they
had little or no trouble with the men.

The Spanish seamen of the ill-fated
Cervera fleet went to playing cards and
smoking cigarettes as soon as they were
assured that they were to be treated as
prisoners Of war. The American and
Spanish sailors are constructed upon
vastly different lines. Had the case
been reversed and our men prisoners
of war by reason of the complete de-
struction of their fleet, our boys would
have been in the very depths of NOR

THE T q !: WAR GOES ON.
There Is Much Talk, However, Of pros
posals for Peace Being Made
-.@ by Spain.

Madrid, July 11.-Information re-
celved from the most reliable sources
is to the effect that the darkest pes
simism pervades Madrid officialdom
The hopelessness of the war is finally
recognized and the peace idea now
seems to predominant in the cabinet
and negotiations are considered urgent,
The cabinet is likely to cohere until
peace is secured. 1t is now recognized
that Santiago de Cuba is completely
beleaguered and cannot hold out, owing
10 the lack OF provisions and munitions
OF war. 1t is considered certain that
the Americans will blockade Cuban and
fuerto Rlcan ports, cutting off their
supplies, while the authorities are con-
vinced that an American fleet is COM
ing to the peninsula. There is no con-
fidence felt that the powers will inter-
tere even if defenseless seaports are
bombarded, and, therefore, what meas
ures OF defense are possible are being
adopted.

Der of the Spanish seamen said that
they had had enough of fighting, at
least with the Yankees.
The bringing of Admiral Cervera to
the United States does not signify that
the proposition to parole him has been
finally dismissed. It has been simply
postponed for time, though it may be
surmised that the admiral will be much
more comfortable here until the feel
ing of unnatural resentment displayed
against him in Spain has subsidized.
