Agreed On.

MADRID, Aug. 29.-Senor Sagasta,
the premier, is quoted as having, in
the course of an interview, made some
important statements, declaring that it
was the governments intention to re.
press the discussion of the war in the
cortes. He said that as soon as the
cortes met the government would sub
nit a bill authorizing peace negotia.
tions and next measure relating to
the suspension of the constitutional
guarantee. Although Senior Sagasta
did not state the nature of this meas
ure, it is thought it will provide for a
continuation of the suspension.
"The government" said the pre-
mier, "will not discuss in any form
the questions of peace or war. Indeed,
the deputies would be entirely lacking
in the
Material Necessary for a Discussion.
The debate could not be based on con.
crete, positive facts, founded on indis.
putable documents, since the necessary
information has not yet arrived.
II believe that no discussion of the
surrender of Santiago or Manila will
OCCUR, nor of the destruction of our
fleet, unless trustworthy data and
proofs are at hand. Moreover, no dis
cussion is possible of matters under
consideration of the supreme courts of
the army and navy.
mistakes have undoubtedly been
made, but SO far we have not sufficient
material to judge. A reason that ques-
tons of war and peace should not be
discussed is that negotiations are now
in progress, and discussions might be
provocative of
Undesirable Complications.
It must not be said that peace is signed
and discussions are now allowable.
Peace is not signed. Spain is still at
war with the United States. The two
nations have merely concluded sus-
pension in order to negotiate peace.
These negotiations may be brought tc
q successful issue, but it may happen
that hostiIties may be resumed.
"Should the deputies ask to have
presented the documents concerning
the surrender of Santiago and Manila.
and the destruction of the feet, now
in the governments possession, the
government would not acceds to this
request. These papers are now in the
possession Of the supreme councils,
which alone, until the establishment
Of peace, can institute inquiries and es-
tablish responsibilities The inquiries
may result in acquittals or severe sen.
fences, even the capital penalty"

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The czar's propo-
dtion for an international conferen &c
for the purpose of securing real and
lasting peace among the powers and
the termination of the progressive in.
crease in ornaments conveyed in
note from Count Muravieff. the Rus
sian foreign minister, to the foreign
diplomats at s. Petersburg. is likely
to produce sensation throughout
Europe, and coming from such quar-
ter and with such evident sincerity of
purpose it is likely to have important
effects. There Is NO doubt that with
Russia taking the lead in such . step
Germany, France and the other ma
tions will be ready to follow.
The Text Of the Note
In his invitation to participate in the
conference the Russian minister dwells
ct length on the bad effect of the con.
tinual increase Of armaments declar.
ing that it strikes at the very root of
public prosperity. Continuing he says:
The intellectual and physical strength
of the nations-labor and capital-are
mostly diverted from their natural appi-
cation and are unproductively consumed
Hundreds of millions are devoted TO &C
curing terrible engines of destruction,
which, though today regarded as the last
work of science, are destined tomorrow to
lose all their value in consequence Of
some fresh discovery In the same field.
National culture, economic progress and
the production of wealth are either para
lived or checked in development. The econ
omic crisis, due in great part to the system
of ornaments routrance and the contin-
ual danger which lies in this massing of
war material are Transforming the armed
peace of our days into crushing burden
which the people have more and more
difficulty in bearing.
The Inevitable Result.
It appears evident that if this state Of
things were to be prolonged it would in
evitably lead to the very cateclysm it is
desired to avert, the horrors of which
make every thinking being shudder in ad-
vance.
To put an end to these incessant arma-
ments and to seek the means of warding
off the calamities which are threatening
the whole world-such is the supreme
duty today imposed upon all states.
Filled with this idea, his majesty has
been pleased to command me to propose
to all the governments whose represen-
tatives are accredited to the imperial
court, the assembling of conference
which shall occupy itself with this grave
problem.
This conference shall. by the help of
God, be the happy presage or the century
which is about to open.

"It would be idle to ignore the many

the sincerity of the magnanimous pro-
posal."
