AUSTRIA HOLDING ALooT.
Declines to Initiate Mediation for
Peace.

Peace.
Vienna, June 10.-The government has
declined to initiate mediation between the
United States and Spain, as it wishes 10
avoid the appearance of making interven-
tion seem only dynasty action in the in
terest of the Queen Regent which, per-
haps, might give fatal offense.
Nevertheless, a decided opinion is held
that the time for Intervention is very near
at hand, although hesitation to take the
first step Is evident everywhere.
The probability is that Russia will un-
dertake the initiative within one or two
days.
1t Is known that the American govern
ment has become more approachable on
the subject of Intervention
With regard to the Philippines no doubt
exists in official minds of Vienna that the
islands cannot remain In the hands Of
America. The insurgents there reject ali
foreign control and, moreover, it Is scarce
ly conceivable that America could provide
a sufficient force TO enable her to take fun
possession of so extensive a group of ISL
ands.
The probability is that the Powers win
find a way out Of the difficulty by estaD
fishing a sort of protectorate, which, per-
haps. England might undertake.
one fact. however, is incontrovertible
the united cabinets are agreed that the
Philippines must remain an open market

EUROPE AND SPANS FATE.
Possibility of Complications ExcIt-
ing More Interest.

London, June 1.-THE continental press
Is much occupied with the latest phase Of
the war.
spain's reverses have produced less ef-
feet than might have been expected In
Austria, where, It appears to be recognized
that the fate of Cuba is less interesting
than the possibility Of European compli-
cations arising over the Philippines
The Vienna papers think Spain should
realize that tho time has come to sue for
an honorable peace, which she might not
obtain later.
The Paris papers take much the same
line. but nowhere Is there any confirmation
that either Spain or the Powers have yet
taken acton.
The Berlin papers discuss the probable
danger for Europe arising from Americas 8
victory, and predict complete change in
her policy
The Hamburger Nachrlchten expects the
closing of South American ports TO Euro
mean commerce, and advises the Americans
NOT 10 draw the bow too tightly as regards
Spain.

the state health officer in charge, has
hopes to be able to stamp out the disease

The state board OF health has decided to
quarantine the entire Gulf coast, pending
an investigation, their action being the
same as that taken by the Louisiana au-
thoritles.
This season. in contrast to the last finds
the state board of health fully able 20
meet all emergencies.
The board now has been given absolute
power in all cases of infection. Inspectors
have been placed at every point Infected

assistants are on duty here day and night

CAMARA's WHEREABOUTS.
story That He Sailed for Philippines
Doubted.

London, June 1.-THE Madrid corre-
spondent of the Times says: whether
Admiral Camaras fleet with reinforce
ments, ever sailed for the Philippines is
doubtful.
Many people think it may be soon more
urgently required nearer home.
Meanwhile, the political Importance of
events in the Philippines is fully recog-
nized
'The impartial says: AS bearing on The
peace negotiations what we do in the Pa
cihc viii be of capital, and, perhaps. de-
cisive interest In the bay of Manila is
the colonial future of Spain, and in the
prompHtude with which assistance is sent
lies the key TO the future.
This and similar references to peace ne
gotiations are significant, but it would be
a mistake TO assume confidently that the
Spanish government is about to take the
initiative in that direction. All 1 can ven
ture to say is that peace has been brought
nearer by recent events"

The note adds: "If this measure, unpre-
cedented in war between civilized people,
is persisted in, Spain will make reprisals
upon the property of Americans in Spain"
