LONDON, July 1.-THE Madrid cor
respondent of the Times, telegraphing
Monday, says:
"Senor Sagasta went to the palace
today and rendered his resignation and
that of the cabinet. 1t is said he ad-
vised the queen regent to appoint a
new cabinet, largely consisting of the
military element, which would not nee
essarily mean the adoption of "a war;
like policy, but probably the reverse.
1T is generally expected that the
resignation will be accepted, but the
result may possibly be merely a par
tial reconstruction of the cabinet. The
ministers are now in council. and Sc
nor Sagasta has doubtless communicat-
ed to them an account of his audience
with the queen regent"
SPANS DIGNITY.
The impartial says: Peace with the
United States must either be made at
the right moment or it means civil
wars, financial ruin and the loss of lib
erty. Peace with the United States
must either be treated for with that
power direct or Spain will be reduced

which, in order to exist at all, needs
the protection of Europe.
What will be the opportune moment
fOc peace? The very moment when
the people grow convinced that there
is no remedy but to cue for it. Before
that the army would consider itself hu-
inflated and the people betrayed.
Peace must not be sued for through the
Intervention of mediators, who, as Sc
nor Romero Robledo said with much
emphasis, would make their services
come high for US.
THE United States would feel more
inclined to negotiate in due time
peace that would be honorable for. US
if we sue for it directly, than if we
leave it to the Intervention of the pow
ers of Europe, whom the United States
has already learned not to fear, and on
account of whose intervention she
would take pleasure in making harder
terms. Let us give up what we may
have to give up, but let us still retain
our dignity

BRITISH OPINION.
LONDON. July 12.-The Times, COM
menting editorially this morning. on
the Gloomy Outlook for Spain," says:
Unless the new cabinet Is quickly
formed the delay may easily result in
confusion or disorder, which would
quickly complicate the whole ques-
tion."
The Times thinks the government un-
wise to insist upon the unconditional
surrender of Santiago. 1t says:
Besides rislking an unnecessary loss
OF life, without appreciably furthering
the reduction<of Cuba, the Americans
might find themselves in a condition Of
serious moral responsibility for the
starving population"
