MAnRID, Aug 9O-El Liberal pub
fishes remarks made by Senior sagasta
on the diplomatic and political situa-
ton, quoting the premier as follows:
From a legal point OF view, the
present state Of things is neither peace
nor war, but merely a suspension Of
hostilities. An ormistice would have
allowed us to dispel better the OBJ
SECURITY Of the situation, but the
United States declined to agree to our
making a step further in advance.
"The questions TO be solved are nu-
merous and complex, What we have
done first is to lay down certain bases,
on which each minister may make any
observation which study of the sub
ject suggests. These win continue to
be treated In daily cabinet councils, il
being held that the bases ia question
are The fundamental instructions for
the guidance of the various commis-
sions in the forthcoming negotiations,
to be supplemented and recsided sub.
s~equently By Telegraph.
I'm Cuba, besides evacuation, there
are many other problems, spain may
abandon her sovereignty over the great
Antilles, but there will remain the
question OF edifces and an other prop
critics. There are lawsuits before the
tribunals affecting the interests Of the
Spaniards. Where and when will these
be decided? To Havana, where a large
number OF criminals have been cons
demned by the Spanish tribunals, what
is to be done with them2
Then there are other questions for
which we have to fix a basis of discus
sion aud agreement regarding the
Philippines. Besides these and other
problems Of greater Importance, there
is g preliminary question to be dis
eussed.
According to international law, a
suspension of hostilities has been
signed, and the surrender Of Munila
ought to have no legal efficacy How
will that principle be understood by
the Urited States2 This causes us

t]ention, but we are Still awaiting the
information demanded from Cen, Jau-
denes, which has not yet reached MS,
on account Of the difficulties Of CONF
munication between Manila and Hong
Kong
These remarks have all the appear
ance Of being authentic, as they are in
accord with information from other
sources and in harmony with Senior
Sagasta's usual style.
The public is still anxious for an ex-
