to Rico, May Be Released.

London, July 1.-THE parliamentary
secretary for the foreign office. Mr..
Curzon, replying in the house OF COM
mons today to a question on the sub

pressed the hope that the lstter's sem
tence Of nine years imprisonment
would eventually be mitigated.

BIIANCO is RECALCITRANT.
Madrid Is Trying to Persuade Him to
Give Up.

Madrid. July II, 9 a. m.-The news,
papers of this city openly discuss the
imminence of the ministerial crisis,
owing to the attitude of Senior Gamazo,
the minister Of public instruction.
The official correspondent confirms
the report OF the cabinet crisis.
The impartial says of Sundays cabl.
net meeting:
I'VE think importance should be at
tached to the fact that Spain will reap
great advantages in negotiations for
peace before Santiago and Manila and
perhaps even Porto Rico are captured,
as should the Americans occupy these
places, their terms will naturally be
harder"
The impartial adds: at is most prob
able that the government will telegraph
Captain General Blanco to this effect,
urging him to direct the operations OF
the army towards this solution. On
General Blanco's reply depends wheth-
er the government commences nego-
lions Immediately without waiting the
outcome of the situation at Santiago"
The Liberal publishes an interview
with a minister who is quoted as say
ing that the cabinet crisis might occur
today, tomorrow or next week but In
any case it will not be long delayed.
The minister is said to have added
that the crisis would be the occasion
for the whole ministry resigning in a
body.
