first that Spain’s answer would be in the nature of a reluctant, but no Jess conclu- sive acceptance.

At the eame time it is suggested in some quarters that there is a possibility that the

at Santiago concerning the serious eondi- tion Of our troops might be a straw at which the Spanish Cabinet would grasp.

This is quite doubtful, however, as there is a question whether the statement of the American Government got outside the borders the United States owing to the strict censorship imposed.

Evacuation of Neuvitas by Spaniards

AFTER BOMBARDMENT BT THE | AMERICAN WARSHIPS.

Cruiser Badger Captures Several Prizes Without Trouble.

Key Wesr, Fla., Aug 4.—-No informa- tion has been received here of the report that Neuvitas, the chief portof the pro- vince of Puerio Principe,has been evacuat~ ed by the Spaniards after a bombardment by American warships.

The auxiliary cruiser Ba¢eger, which captured three prizes at Neuvites on July l6tb, and left with them that day for the Tortugas, arrived here this morning. Capt

Snow said that at the time of his departure all but about 1,860 Spanish troops had left the

city,and a general evacuation was ex- pected, but that to all iotents and pur- poses the place was still held by the euemy, aod there bad been nothing in the nature Of an attack. The large gunboat Pizarro and the armed tugs Anita and Yumuri were in the harbor. The scaly intelligence of the reported assaalt and evacuation of Neuvitas was that furoished ou July 26 by Lieut~Col. Rojas of the insurgent forces to Commander Mayoard, of the gunboat Nashville at Gibara. The Badger was covering the blockade station at Neuvitas on July 26, when one of the Spanish boats slipped } stern foremost to the mouth of the harbor and took a peep at her. The American ship scared her and she hurried back to shelter. A little while later, however, three vessels were observed coming out, and Capt, Snow thought a good fight was coming. He brought bis | ship up to the mouth of the harbor*and prepared to give the Spanish a greeting, wep it was discovered that instead of gunboats the advancing ships were a tug, a brig and barge, the last iwo in tow, all flying Spanish and Red Cross flags. A couple of shots from a_ six peunder was fired in their direction and they promptly surrendered. The tug was the Humberto Rodriguez, worth about $70,000. The brig was the Staft and tbe barge wasthe San Feroando. A party from the Badger boarded the prizes and found about 400 Spanish soldiers, who, it was said, had brea ordered to Havana.

The Badger, with her prizes, reported to Commodore Howell, off Havana, who ordered them to Tortugas. At that place Captain Snow communicated with the Washington authorities and was instructed to send all the pri- sonersto Havana, if one ship could carry them; if not, to put some of them on ase- cond ship and send them to New York. Lieut. Edward G. Peters, with two offizers and two men, was put in charge of the prizes and left with them for Havana. He will thence proceed with a tugloud of the Spauish prisoness to New! York.

A certain number of seats will be re- served on Thursday, O’Connell’s night, at the Opera House.

THE SITUATION AT MADRID.

All are Favorable to Peace,

LEADING saciid RETURN- ING TO THE CAPITAL.

Surprise and Displeasure Caused in

Some Quarters.

——-

New Yorx, August 4—A World des~ patch from Madrid says:

“The approach of peace sgems to induce Spain’s leading statesmen and generals to return to the capital,

“Marshal Campos, General Weyler Senor Silvela, the leader of the dissident

conservatives; Senor Montero Rios the president of the senate, and Marquis Vega de Armijo, the president of the house of

deputies, have intimated that they will be here before the end of this week. Their coming

newspapers to predict lively times in home politics assoon as the government an~ nounces officially that the conditions of peuce are what rumor says thev are.

“Premier Sagasta has reason to believe thatall the men named except General Weyler are in favor of concluding a peace now, admitting thet the government can- not wisely do otherwise than to accept those terms which America has refused to permit diecussion upoo, and to try and Obtain concessions on the subordinate points like the Phillipine question.

.. ‘Senor Sagasta had a ilovg conference

with the conservative leader from which circumstance the Opposition press draws the inferencethat the premier wants to arrange with the conservatives for their return to office as soon as the peace treaty issigued on the snpposition tbat they could bettercope with the diffl:ulties of th» *nternal sicuation in Spain. But even if & peace treaty i. signed and all the negotia- tions connected with it completed in August, the government will not convoke the cortes tiilthe autumao is well along, being only under obligaticn to render it an account of the peace treaty, without hav~ ing to ask for its ratification.

“Surprise and displeasure have been caused here by the conduct of the vol- unteere in Porto Rico, and of the clergy in the Weat Indies and Philippines, in so soon turning to the United States for protee- tion.”

RICO CAMPAIGN

A Flank Movement Nec- essary,

THREE THOUSAND MEN LAND- ED AT ARREYO.

Constant Alarms but no Fighting up to Date.

Poxce, Aug 4.—The plan of campaign is not fully determined upon, but the nat~ ural strengih of the Spanish position at Aybouitas and the character of the defen - sive works erected there, necessitates a flank movement. The turning movement was inaugurated to day, when General Brooke landed 3,000 men at Arreyo, sixty miles east of here.

From there he can strike the military road landing to San Jean de Porto Rico, at Cayey, beyond Aybonitas. This wii]

$ compel the Spanish Scommander, Gener- prompts the } al Otega, who has a great reputation, to

abandon his stroaghold or be caught bet~ ween two fires.

It is possible that a second column may move on nis left flank aleo in which case the present advance on his front is only a feint. A general advance will not be ordered until all of General Miles plans are perfected, but whev the advance is once begun it will be very rapid. The fleet will bombard San Juanand make other diversions to keep the enemy buay at-every poiat.

Iu the harbor of Ponce and at Arrayo, on board ship, are the third Illinois, the first Obio, the fourth Pennsylvania, the fifth and nineteenth regulars and the 32nd Michigan.

There areconstant alarms at the out- posts but there has been no fighting yet.

THE ANNEXATION OF PORTO RICO,

What the Papal Delegate Says,

DOES NOT KNOW THAT IT WILL BENEFIT THE UNITED STATES

Boston, August 4.—Most Rev. Sebastian Martenelli, the papal delegate in the Un-~ ited States, arrived in Boston last night meking a short stay with the Jesuit Fathers of St. Mary’s Church. When

asked what would be the effect of the an-~ texation of Porto Rico to the United States, he answered: “I am not a poli- tician and do not kuow enoagh abont the place to tell whether it will be a benefit to this couatry to own itor not. So far as the interests of the Puerto Ricans is con- cerntd, there is ro doubtthat they wil! profit by the change.”

“Will your jurisdiction extend to that island when itis annexed ?”

* Tuat is a question for the Holy See to answer. My lineg of jurisdiction are al ready drawn, and I cannot extend them without a positive orderfrom Rome. We can safely say the church will do what is for the best.”

* Will the church suger in any way from the political changes that are likely to take place in the Phillippines and other Spavish Islands ?”

“1 do not think that anyone who knows the American people would for a woment entertain a thought that the church will be in apy way interfered with wherever the United States by conquest or pur- chase, acquires possession. The change of Government will take place, I suppose, but I expect to see everything go on as it has done in the past. Priests as well as people will be as well treated as they are here in the United States, aud she will go on doing the good work ele has done in the past, perhaps with a little more free-

dom.”
