rising Imminent.

Spain Anxious For Peace,

London, May 27.-The Madrid corre-

dominant note Of public opinion here
is desire to find some way to hon

gain by an indefinite prolongation Of
hostilities. All idea that France will
intervene. however, is now abandoned,
and hopes are fixed upon the possibility
that Duke Almodovar de Rio, the new

some fitting occasion on which to take
the initiative.

The defeat of the Spanish fleet, which
the best informed people regard as
only question of few days, Is bound
to precipitate an outbreak.
Premier Sagasta has outlined Spain's
policy In an interview, in which he
says there will be no fight at Santiago
unless Admiral Cervera desires 1t. The
Americans will find the Santiago forts
and the ships in the harbor very diff
ferent from those destroyed by Dewey
at Manila. II the Americans are wait

bombardments by the American
squadron, the alleged use Of the Span
