Admiral Bermejo, minister of ma

affirms that this. feet at the present
moment is where it ought to be, ac-
cording to the instructions given it. .
On the stock exchange here today the
report that the Spanish Cape de Verde

generally discredited, though the opin-
ion was freely expressed that if the
rumor was true it indicated the inten-
ton of Spain to throw up the sponge
and leave the West Indies TO their fate,
thus opening the way to an early peace.
This is understood to be strongly de-
sired in certain quarters, and the eff
feet of the seeming back-down Of Spain
was beneficial.
