Situation Favorable to Peace.

LONDON, July GA dispatch from
Madrid says that General MARITIME
Campos has had prolonged conference
with the Queen Regent at which Senior
Silvela, the conservative leader, was
present. The situation is more favor
able to peace than war, but the govern
ment alone is the judge of what ought
to be done. In any event both Marti-
nez Campos and Silvela will support
the government. The republicans are
DESTROYS of bringing about a general
settlement of SPANS difficulties, be-
iieving that the country can no longer
withstand such misfortunes as it has
undergone. The military element, on
the other hand, is inclined to continue
the war. Spain, it is argued. could not
expect naval victory, her power being
in land warfare. Peace, therefore,
ought not to be sued for as long as
there is no great disaster on land. The
Carlists are particularly warlike, but
the views of the government are not
known. 1t is not believed, however,
that the ministers are unanimous in

ADMIRAL CERVERA

Soon after Admiral CerVera reached
the shore and surrendered he was taker
10 the Gloucester at his own request
There was no mistaking the heart
broken expression upon the old sea.
mans face as he took the protiared
hand of Lieutenant Commander Vain
wright and was shown to the letter'i
cabin, but he made every effort TO bear
bravely the bitter defeat that had come
to him. He thanked the commander
of the Gloucester for the words of con-
graduation offered on tie gallant fight,
and then spoke earnestly of his solici-
tude for the safety of his men on shore.
He told Wainwright that Cuban soldiers
were on The bills preparing to attack
his unarmed men. The Admiral said
he thought his sailors had suffered
enough in their battle with the Ameri.
can forces, and that he was willing to
surrender MS entire command, but he
asked that some protection be given to
his men until they could be taken off in
the American vessels.
Cervere also told Wainwright that
he made his break for liberty Tor two
reasons. He preferred to die fighting
in the open sea rather than be caughC
in trap like rat, and he chose the
broad daylight for the attempt because
he knew he could not escape detection
at night, while by day he might pos.
sibly catch the American fleet without
full steam up.
He transferred his flag from his
fastest ship, the Cristobal Colon,
to the Infanta Maria Teresa. His
hope was that at least ore Of his
ships might escape destruction, and if
any did it would undoubtedly be the
fast and powerful Colon.
The Admiral went on the Maria
Teresa himself to survive orperish with
the main part of his fleet. This coura
goous and unsellsh action seems to be
characteristic Of Cervera. He showed
the same spirit Of gallantry when Hob
son became his prisoner.
Admiral Cervera, it is gaid, in answer to
the question why he made the daoh cut of
the hal Dor with his feet, that he was forced
to como ont in obedience to an order from
Captain General Blanco, who was acting un.
der instructions from the government at
Madrid.

ACTION POSTPONED

As stated yesterday active opera
lions against the city Of Santiago must
be suspended until the navy and army
can cooperate or until General Shafter
can be heavily reinforced. General
Pareja arrival in the city with 5000
additional Spanish troops is confirmed.
The truce which was to have expired at
noon yesterday, having been extended
twenty.four hours upon the representa-
ton OF foreign consuls that it was not
practicable to move the foreigners to
places of safety in the time limit fixed
by Shafter, is now indefinitely extend
ed and conference has been ordered
between the commander of the land
forces and Admiral Sampson.
The navy will probably find it diff.
cult and dangerous to force the harbor
OF Santiago on account OF the mines and
shore batteries. There is said to be no
obstacle, so far as navigation is con-
cerned, to the entrance of the harbor
by the American fleet. The Cristobal
Colon, which cleared the Merrimac and
got ont of the harbor Sunday, drew %
feet inches, which is within seven inch
es of the draught of the battleships
Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts and Ore
gon, and is greater thar the draught Of
the battleship Texas Moreover, the
Navy Department has known for the
last ten days that the neck of tho chan
nel was open, despite the sinking OF the
Merrimac, and that there was clear
sea way of seven fathoms through
which any ship in our navy could sail.
This removes all difficulty, except for
submarine mines or from the shore bat
teries. A combined land and sea at
tack on Moro Castle may be made to-
day by the forces under the command
of General Shafter and Admiral Samp-
son.
There i; said to be some difference Of
opinion letwecn Admiral Sampson and
Gen. Shafter concerning the capture
of Santiago. Gen. Shalter has asked
Admiral Sampson to force the harbor
of Santiago, which the latter refuses to
do unless he receives orders direct from
Washington. The President has order
ed item to confer at once and agree on
81 plan to reduce Santiago without delay.

JUDGED by experience, and ordinary
discretion on the part OF Spain, the pres
ent war cannot last much longer; but
the people OF this country will be com
PEELED to pay the taxes laid by its pro
motors as long as they shall continue
to breathe. And now that all the gold
bonds have been subscribed for, and
the snip owners and navy and army
contractors have become rich, and the

is no visible reason why the war should

WASHINGTON, July 6.-The plans in
reference 10 the part to be taken by
Major General Miles in the present hos.
tilities have been changed again, and it
is nov said that he will not go to San

the change of programme is that Gen.
Shafter is competent to conduct the
campaign in Santiago, and that the APP
pearance of General Miles on the scene
at this critical time would seem like
reflection on Gen. Shafter's ability.
