NO ovERTUREs FOR PEACE.
Neither Spain Nor the Powers Have
Yet Taken Action

WASHINGTON. July S-There was a
continuation of peace talk to-day, and other
evidences in this line than those of yester-
day are coming to the surface Such, for
instance, was the confirmation by the State
Department of the report that the Cadiz
fleet was returning TO Spain since it is
scarcely conceivable that the Spanish gov
ernment would doom this last remnant of
its fleet to destruction at the hands of Wat
sons squadron, which, in all probability.
could head 1t off before it reached Cadiz.
it's home port Therefore the assumption is
that the Spanish government calculates that
at least an armistice precedent to peace will
be obtained before the ships reach Spain.
An unusually definite report was in circula-
ton that the United States had been sound
ed in the interest of peace by the British
ambassador, but when it was brought to
Sir Julian Pauncefote's attention he author
ized an explicit denial. and said he had not
communicated with the government I'm any
way regarding the termination of the war.
1t can be stated authoritatiyely that no
overture toward peace has yet reached the
government. Cabinet members. however

prefer suing for peace to suffering an indefi-
mite blockade but it fears the large body of
patriotic opinion in favor Of resisting to the
bitter end if Cuba is blockaded. 1t is to be
hoped that the Americans will find some
means of controlling the ferocity of their
savage allies. A profound impression has

WARNING TO SPAIN.
OOns Should Make Peace Hefere
America Hardens Her Heart.

America Hardens Her Heart.
LONDON, July 9.-The Times says edi-
torially this morning: Spain should make
peace before America has hardened her
heart"
Referring to the annexation of Hawaii.
the Times says 1.-The annexation starts the
republic upon a new course of action; yet
the American people are not so enamored
of the Philippines to refuse to consider
the question of leaving them in Spanish
hands. Later on they may be less complai-
SAINT and. what is even more serious, they
may find it impossible, even if they wished
it, to leave the islands TO Spain. If peace
were concluded now Spain could transport
the Cuban army to the Philippines. If she
elects to stand reduction of Cuba by
blockade she will lose that army, and II
would then be impossible to leave the
Philippines in Spanish hands. The inhabi-
are seemingly as ready to resist the Amer
leans as to fight the Spanish. To return
them to Spain in such circumstances would
be simply to perpetuate anarchy and invite
the interference of other powers. The Amer
leans cannot afford to do this. Thus per-
sistence in war will deprive Spain of the
Philippines as well as the West Indies 1t
is foolish to pursue a suicidal policy from
mere vindictiveness, especially as the Span
iards may console themselves with the
thought that they are handing over to the
united states tangled skein, which it will
tax American craftsmanship to unravel"
