To Attnck Const cities.

st. Johns, n. F., May 22.-Captain
Long of the brigantine Energy. which
arrived here to-day with a cargo Of salt
from Cadiz. reports that when he left
Cadiz a fortnight ago. the greatest ac-
tivity prevailed in the naval arsenal
there. The two Hamburg-American
liners, Columbia and Normannia. pur-
chased to be used as auxiliary cruisers.
and now named the Rapido and Patria,
were being rapidly armored and the
warships in the harbor We're loading
stores and ammunition. Captains Long
is convinced that at the time he was
in Cadiz the Spanish government fully
intended to send the fleet to attack
American coast cities on the North At
lantic, preferably Boston. He says the
Spanish populace was bitterly infiamed
against English and Americans and that
his crew dared not venture ashore.

London, May 22-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
zone point of interest i'm the recon-
struction of the cabinet lies in the OBJ
stinate refusal of Senior Leon Cas-
tillo to accept the foreign secretary
chip. Every consideration has been
brought to bear i'm vain. His first re-
ply to the premier's request expressed
che convictions that the interests of
Spain would be best served by his re-
naming at Paris. Senior Sagasta
answered. pointing out that the head
of the government was the best judge
of the interests of the fatherland and
insisting upon the ambassadors ac-
ceptance. To the surprise of every
body, the ambassador persisted in his
sefusal and promised. in a personal in
terview. to prove to Senior Sagasta that
it would be a grave mistake for him to
leave Paris.
Il am enabled to state that the am
bassadors motive for refusal was as
follows: Senior Sagasta's cabinet Is. by
its own formal declaration, determined
to carry on the war with all possible
vigor, whereas Senor Leon Castillo is
aware cDdlu lIltnus dInOHS llle
powers, France i'm particular, are re-
solved to insist upon her suing for peace
at the first favorable movement. France
possesses a twofold interest in having
peace concluded-financial and political.
The former would be severely damaged
if Spain We're ruined and the latter will
be sufficient if the United States re-
tanned permanent possession of the Phil
ippines.
dfpey l,t tat. ~, ,1
statesmen responsible for the political
scheme favored by Senor Leon y Cas-
tillo is that as Spain must be defeated
in the long run, II is advisable to save
as much as possible from destruction,
and that the sooner peace is concluded
the more tolerable will be the terms
acquiesced in by the United States.
1.-The most important of these terms,
in the eyes of Spain's friends and pro-
tectors, is the possession of the Philip
pines. which can be utilized for further
political commissions later on.
ITO become a member of a war cab
met. therefore. at the very moment
when the friendly powers are resolved
to press upon Spain speedy peace. ap-
pears imprudent to Senior Leon Cas-
tillo, who is in possession of all the
threads of the negotiations. The first
and most important step at present,
therefore. is to utilize the most propi-
tious moment for concluding peace on
the basis of Span's retention of the
