MADRID, June 4.-Many Spanish
statesmen, notably the Conservatives,
would welcome the idea of making peace,
even through recognition of Cuban inde-
pendence, if the United States would
leave Spain Porto Rico and the Philip
pines and not ask too heavy an indemni-
ty. They believe the European powers
would back thefqueen regent. The tinan-
cial papers are brave enough to advocate
an honorable peace in order to avert
graver financial consequences. The pros
poets for loan to Spain are not promis-
ing. Consequently Finance Minister
Puigceiver had to make use of the author
ity voted by the cortes last week to issue
5000, 900 of nominally perpetual per
cent. bonds to be used as collateral for
$65, 900, 900, which the Bank of Spain Is
disposed to. advance on condition that
those bonds are deposited in its hands.
When this money is spent the foreign
minister will insist upon the tobacco mo-
nopoly company advancing one whole
years rent, $19,000,O00, and if all this is
insufficient, he will then try in succession
a home and foreign loan. Anyhow,
through these two operations of credit
Spain will get $S4,0O0,O00, barely enough
to cover the war expenditures for four
months. Even If the most pressing obl-
cations are met, the monetary situations
is not brilliant. The mint output has
been increased from $4,000 to 100000
daily.
When Premier Sagasta and the law
councillors of the crown decided that they
could not send Senor CASTELAR, before a
court martial, since no Spanish law con-
templates prosecution for articles pub
lished outside of Spanish territory the
court was greatly displcased The Re-
publicans unanimously uphold CASTELAR,.
They intend to give him an enthusiastic
reception when he returns to Madrid.

A tremendous sea was running when the

WITH THE AMERICAN FLEET OFF
SANTIAGO DE CUBA. June 8, via Mole St.
Nicholas, Hayt, June 4.-(Copyright, 1898,
by the Associated Press.) All the members
of the Merrimac expedition are safe. Only
two of them were slightly wounded. and
their names are not known. Lieutenant
Hobson was not hurt. All of the Merri-
macs men are held as prisoners Of war.
The news of their wonderful escape was
sent to Rear Admiral Sampson by Admiral
Cervera, the Spanish admiral being so
struck with the courage of the Merrmac's s.
crew that he thought Admiral Sampson
should know that they had not lost their
lives. Admiral Cervera's chief of staff, Cap
tain Oviedo, boarded the New York under a
flag of truce, bearing the announcement of
the safety of the Merrimac's men, and re-
turning with a supply Of provisions and
money for the prisoners.
AS Seen From the Ships
KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 4.-Lieuten-
ant Hobson appears to have carried out his
nlan to the smallest details, except as re-
cards the method Of escaping. The row.
boat In which the crew were to attempt to
escape was either blown up or shot to pieces,
.or Lieutenant Hobson and his men drifted
ashore on an old catamaran, which was
hung over the ships side at the last mo-
nent as an extra precatuion. Upon reach
ing shore the men were taken prisoners, and
sent to Santiago City under guard. Later
they were taken to Moro castle, where they
are now. Captain Oviedo, Admiral Cervera' S
chief of staff, who boarded the New York
under a flag of truce does not give further
details of the capture. The bravery of the
Americans evidently excited as much ad-
miration among the Spaniards as 1t did
among the men of the American fleet. The
prisoners will be perfectly safe and will
nrobably be well treated while they remain
In Moro castle.
The general opinion is that no man ever
deserved recognition by congress for per-
eonal bravery more than does Lieutenant
Robson. His work was well done and his
men are safe When he started on the ex-
nedition few thought he could accomplish h
his object.
