London. Aug 2G.-The Madrid correspondent
of THE STANDARD" says:
Nothing can better illustrate the couniry's
wcarness and dlsllluson than the small excite

troops Of the 225 900 men who lcft Spain for
the Antilles since March. 1885 80 600 have per
ished IN Cuba 1900 have been sent home in

dsbanded after receiving portion ot their nine
months arrears of pay
This clever stroke ~ policy on the part OF the
Government VIII It Is thought. avert the dan
gers that otherwise might have existed OF the
dscontentod army being made the tools of po-
lltlcal or military lntrlguers and Carllsts.
There are forty-three generals and six thou
sand other officers on the active list For these

THE CORTES AND PEACE.
TERMS TO PASS TWICE THROUGH THE FIRE

TERMS TO PASS TWICE THROUGH THE FIRE
OF PARLIAMENTARY DISCUSSION.
rondon. Aux. 2j-The Madrid rrespondent
Of The Times says:
"rbe convocation of the Cortes for september
: indicates that Sehor Sagasta had to capltu-
late 10 a majority ~ his colleagues. The chief
advocate II the early assembling of the Cortes
was the Minister Of Justice Sehor Groizard. a
recognized authority on intricate questions.
THE peace conditions are thus fated to pass
twice through the fire Of parliamentary discus

nrotocol and subsequently in fully developed
treaty form.
"It Is stated that the Government Will insist
upon prcrogatlon during the sittngs In Paris OF
the Peace Commission"
.rbe pres. halls this solution victory for
genuine coustitutionalism over what ri Impair
cior Describes as 4 dictatorship of impotence
There are many Indications that the session VIII
be extremely lively. The Government VIII have
IN iustify the suspension Of the Constitution and
the press censorship. and there is no doubt that
tho orators Of the Chamber will make strenuous
efforts 10 rouse the nation from It's culpahle
letnargy.
'Prolonged discussions on the chief Incidents
OF the war are probable. and awkward ques-
tlons VIII be asked regarding the responsibility
for blunders The discussion Of the protocol
Is also likely 70 be prolonged and animated, but
II can hardly have any practicable importance
because the fate OF the Antilles is irrevocable
and the Philippine question cannot be minutely
examined before the Paris Comm ission meets"
The Madrid correspondent Of The Standard"
says:
The Carliat and Republican papers and Oppo-
sItlon organs Of every shade. including the con-
servative and independent journals openly
show delight at the convocatlon of the Cortes
II is their firm belief that the days Of the Lib
eral Government are numbered They also an
nounce that the Opposition considers that It's
bour Of reckoning has come The opposition
will not allow the Government 10 close the ses
sions as quickly as Sehor Sagasta fancies or
may desire His opponents. they add are de-
termined to discuss all the acts Of the Cabinet
before and during the war. and there will be
prolonged debates.
Some papers are even laboring under the de-
luslon that the Cortes discuss the contem-
Mated instructions to the Peace Commissioners.
"A part Of the session viii be devoted TO ways
and means The treasury is already becoming
very empty Even many friends of the Cab
met consider the convocatlon Of the Cortes
mistaken act Of weakness fraught with conse
auences which will prove undesirable and In
convenient both in home politics and relations
with the United States"

The full scope OF the work not canvassed.
nor was IT determined just how much the Com
mission will be able 10 accomplish In the way OF
a general adjustment Of the questions under
consideration.

ference adjourns next week the Commissioners
will be able 10 Judge very accurately what the
final outcome Of their deliberations VIII be.
Nothing IS said as to whether the Commission
Will meet here after the recess or at Washing
ton or some other place. An effort IS being
made 70 have the meetings continued at Ottawa

doors in the Parliament buildings. and no one
but the Commissioners and the secretaries IL

termine what settlement II any. can he arrived
