Of the Cabinet was held to-day. a
which there was much angry discussion
The Ministers oonsldered the last dc
spatch sent to Gen. Jaudones. who
succeeded Gen. Augustin in tho military com
mand ut Manila. This despatch related TO the
surrender OF the city. and was not considered
satisfactory by the Cabinet. which decided tc
cable for further explanation OF fGen. Jaude'
ness conduct.
The despatch. which was dated Aug. 20
mentions four other dispatches. in which Cen,
Jaudenes says he gave the details OF the hight
ing and the surrender. None OF them has
reached the Government. and y Is believed
that they were intercepted by the Americans.
In his latest despatch Gen. Jau,ienes says he
has not received any message from the Govern
ment announcing the signing OF the protocol.
He adds that the insurgents are continuing
hostilitles against the Spaniards.
Senior Silvela, the Conservative lender. who
apparently expects or at least hopesto be called
TO form n Government upon the withdrawal OF
Senor Sagasta. says that his programme con-
sists OF carrying out a new policy based o n
~frankness. He does not believe that Don Car
los will makelany move wlngto lack Of money.
Senior Silvela adds that Captain General
Blanco and Admiral Monterola, the latter tho
Spanish naval commander In the Antilles, are
surly over the conclusion Of peace, and may
lendtheir aid to any movement hostile to the
Government.
FL Nacional In its issue to-day strongly adj
yocates the surrender OF the Philippines.
There Is q strong tendency to insist upon
Spanish control Of the Philippines outside OF
Manila, such control not TO be curtailed by any
foreign influence. The public and the press
which oppose the Government are urging that
this be insisted upon by the Spanish repre-
sentatiyes during the coming peace nego-
t~iations.
The chances are nRain discussed OF the United
States clashing with Russia or Germany, which
powers are supposed to be ayerse to the United
States retaining Luzon or any considerable
part Of the archipelago.
MADRID. Aug. 22.-The Heraldo. in an article
on the capltulation OF Manila, says:
"The insinuations Of the correspondent Of
the London Times in connection with the de-
parture OF Captain General AuRustin from
Manila are so scandalous that we refuse to be-
lieve that he Is speaking the truth. The losses
we have suffered are bearable II they are the
result Of habitual carelessness. but IL they
should also be stained with dishonor they can
not be passed over"
The newspaper FL Noroeste Of Ia Coruia. the
most important journal published in that dis
trict, is printing it's leading articles in Latin in
order to evade the censorship.
The HeraIdo advises the Government to en-
deavor to save the economic situation by means
OF Spanish capital, without having recourse to
foreign sources. Offers Of advances have been
made by foreigners. the ReraIdO says. but they
are moro onerous than the terms would be Il
the money were obtained at home.
FL Correo. the Ministerial organ. says that
the Cuban question may arise In such a way as
to present serious. incidents. and tho situation
in Spain will also bring forth unforeseen diff
