TALK AT MADRID.

Spain's Naval Losses---An Extra- ordinary Manifesto.

Lox .. vy il A *pecia despatch fron Madrid #ays : “Aji the taikK OF; peace seem? Up to the present to have led to no tang bh results. No pew the gaveromen! would weicome au opportunity to negotiate directly with the \oitea Siates were the sigo® propi tious, but the are 8O many circumstances to be considered that looks as though the policy Of arift ana waiting for some- thing to turn up would continue until Santiago has fa/ien.

“The fall of Santiago will convince the most sanguine of the hi pelessness of the struggie,and will give the government the lea re j opportunity to sugges st an armistice for the discussion of terms. Circum- stantial statements are already in circula- tion to the effect that the war is virtually ended,and that the government has actually opene j peace pegotiations, but they cannot he verified.

“4 detailed account has been published of Spain's naval losses—twenty-one war- shi ps and twenty-one merchantmen, as against practically no losses on the Amer- ‘can eide. This tends to convince the most

rabid war advocates, and, as for a long time past, the whole commercial and industrial interesis of Spain are bringing strong influ- ence to bear in favor of peace.

“Every day that passes without distur- bances strengthens the peace party. Itis believed, however, that there isa strong en in favor of contivuing the

r; and the attitude of the Carlists and meni cans cause? aoxiety. A mysteri- ous black -edged, unsigned manifesto ap pearedin the leading squares of Madrid yesterday (Sunday) bearing the municipal stamp, and headed ‘Gloria Victis,’ witb an angel supporting a dead, naked soidier. The manifesto contains av eloquent appeal from Spanish mothers, calliog for the re- generation of the conntry of the country on the basis of the army and crying. “Down with the bribed politician’ and a bought press.” Four million dopies of this mani-~ festo have heen distributed throughout Spain, and it is attracting considerable atteatioa.”

ACTIVITY IN SPAIN,

Preparing for the Probable Invasion of the United States Squadron.

Cadiz, via Gibraltar, July 12.—-The Government has wired orderate display the utmost activity, fearing the arrival of the American squadron atan early date. Guns and howitzers of 24 and’ 30 centi- metres have been placed on the Punta Car- nero. Heavy artillery and a garrison have goneto Palonw rocks, tetween Carnero and Algeciras.

Senor Oscbando has etated that neither

Carnero nor Ceuta are singly able todom-

inate the entrance to the straits, their guns

not being heavy enough, but if well torti-

fied would prove a formidable barrier to e4,

A -pecial train of twenty-six cars hae arrived at Algeciras with forty-eight quick firing gups and ammunition _ stores. Another train of the same sort is coming tonight. The guns are being distributed in the neighbourhood,

PUBLIC FEFI go on "IN SPAIN,

Trying, to Form a New Cabinet,

ALL OF THE OLD MINISTERS HAVE RESIGNED.

The War Will Probably be Continued

For a Long Time.

[Srecira to THe Examiner. MADRID. July 13

Ministers bave handed in their resignation

3—All the Spanish

to Premier Sagasta, who ba+ explained the situation tothe Queen Regent.

The difficulty in forming a new cabinet is that nobody will accept the Premier- ship.

Marshal Martinez de Campos would accept it, but he does not command a majority in the Chamber of Deputies.

While military parties urge the war, 4 large proportion of the civil population is

, desirous for peace,

It is pointed out, United States insists on the cession of Porto Rico and the Philippines, the general feeling will be in favour of the continua” tion of hostilities, many Spaniards believ~

| ing that the situation in Cuba will enable

Spain to prolong the struggle fora long time. The Government issued today a loan of

500,000,000 pestas in treasury bonds.

SPANISH POINT OF VIEW.

Santiago to Fight it Out—Spanish Troops Behaving Well.

Maprip, July 11.—Gen. Blanco bas cabled the government as follows: “ The proposal for av unconditional] surrender of Santiago de Cuba being rejected, hostilities were resumed at 4 o’clock thie (Sunday) atternoon. Ordered Santiago to defend it~ self a ln outrance.{The enemy commenced by acannonade, setting fire tothe wreck of the Alfonso XILL., which henceforth it will be impossible tosave. ‘he Ameri- eans also appear to threaten Baturanao Ba

The cruiser Pennsylvania (Sic), which I had sent with thirty thousand rations to force the blockade at Santiago, was pur sued by theenemy and abandoaed its esrgo. This attempt to revictual the town, therefore, has failed.

The enemy opened theattack on San Juan and El Morro at 415 p. m., bya brief fusilade and by guns, Our troops maintained their positions and the enemy abandoned their advanced trenches and those on the hill of San Juan. The squadron simultaneously bombarded the town. The firing ceased at 7 o’clock. Our troops behaved admirably and our losses were slight.”

Avother Havana despatch says: “The Americans abondoned their positions at Santiago. The Spaniards had one cavalry officer wounded,

Captain Aunon, Minister of Marine, denies that Admiral Cervera had instruc tions to leave Santiago Bay. The govern- ment left it to his discretion to make an exit if he were unable to resist in the bay.

An official despatch from Iloilo, Philip- pinelslands, says: ‘Seven chiefs and two thousand rebelu have made eubmis- mission to the military commander.”

SANTIAGO NOT YET SURRENDERED,

General Toval Refuses Shafter’s Demand,

WILL BE RESUMED TO-DAY.

Heavy Siege Guns Being Brought up, and got Into Line.

(Seecia, to Tae Examrver.]

BantiaG>, July 12.—This morning, Genera! Toral sent out a reply to General Shafter’s second demand for the unconditioral surrender of Santiago made by latter’ yasterday afternoon.

In bis reply General Toral referred to his refusal to accede to the American de- mand made ou Sunday, aud again reciter-~ ated his determination to resist.

Broke

Notwithstanding tbis, the American bat teries did not open fire this morning and the reneWel of the bombardment wili prob- ably be postponed until to morrow. Wed- nescay, when i: is hoped that all of Gen- Randolph’s batteries will be in position.

The siege guns that landed yesterday will also be brought up as soon as possible.

THEY WERE SURPRISED

But Retreated Without Loss.

Orr Bantiaco, July 12, via Kiogston.— Captain Adolph Marix, of the converted

| yacht Scorpion, and Captain Purcell, of the

Osceola, had a hot time on July 3 at Manzanillo, where they had established a blockade. Mavzanilla bad until lately been unguarded, and the Spanish have used itfora port of supplies. General Pando and his branch of the army being there, it was decided to locate the stable door last week, and on Sunday, Juiy 3, the Scorpivn and Oeceola were before the place. It is ov a long,deep bay, and & Close examination by Captain Marix convinced him that its defence was one small fort and four gun~ boata.

On Sunday morning Capt. Marix decid~ ed to go in after the gunboats, and so sig- nalled Capt. Purcell. Capt. Marix tells the story as follows: “Imagine their sur- prise upon finding, instead of guuboats and a small fort, the shore filled with artillery and iofantry. The fire we moved into wasa desperate one, considering that we did not have anv protection for our men orthe guns. For 25 minutes we stayed at it, and I think we must have done a lot of damage. 1 had no pilot, end could sot move ir closer. We were hit frequently, and at Jast, when a shot had cleaned our galley, and I saw that it was useless to risk the men’s lives, we moved out.

“The gunboats laid bebind the hills in a emall cove, and we could not get at them. We moved out slowly and the fire ceased. The next moraing we captured a large lighter and a sloop filled with pro- visions. No attempt was made by gun« boats to come out to the defence ot these

thips.”

AN AMERICAN OPINION.

The genera! opinion seems to be that an alliance on paper between Great Britain and the United States cannot be expected. But a friendly understanding may be aim-~ edat. Un the whole, the feeling in the United States is favourable. Here is the opinion of an American traveller on one phase ot the #ubject, as expressed ina Boston journal: “I tbink an _ ajiliance would be the Lest thiug that could happen, as I find oat every time I go to foreign countries an English- man is thy bes: protected man On the face of the ear h,n» matter what country he is in. Mecan have allthe protection he wants, while an American has to invari- | ab! y apply to the British Consul for help. I was in Turkey two years ago, and when get upon by amobI proudly declare! i was an American aod would call upon my Government for help. ‘The result was I was jeered at, and was askeli where the American Government was. Ir I had been an Englishman, weuld I have had to put up with insults ? No sir. If they get insulted England sends a warship and de- mands ao apology and protection, and gets it. If we form an alliance and the world at Jarge knows it, no foreigaers will dare in- terfere With us wherever we go.”

A PLOT DISCOVERED.

Yoxouama, July 12.—Another plot at Secul, the capital of Corea, against the government, has been discovered. Several prominent officials have been arrested on charges of complicity. Others, including a former minister of war, have fled.

CERVERA’S TREASURE.

Some of it Cannot be Found.

Port Antonio, Jamaica, July 11.— What has become of Cervera’s treasure chest ? ia the burning question among the officers of the American fleet. It is customary for the admiral of the fleet tocarry enough

cash to purchase supplies while away from home. Cervera was not an exception to the rule. He left Cadiz with $200,000 in silver aud gold. He paid a portion of this for coal delivered by British vessels near Guracoa and supplies purchased at Martinique, but it ie reported that he still had $100,000 when hereached Santiago,

and that the best part of this sum remain~!

ed untouched at thetime the fleet dashed out ofthe barbour last Surday. The,

‘Teresa in a wooden chest in the admiral’s ents. The chest was, of course, burned, but the hinges remain, showing that the fire was pot hot enough todestroy the money, Nevertheless, the money was gone, and only $20,000 in silver canbe traced, This sum was discovered by a party frem the flagship New York, the members of which reportthat some one had been there ahead of them and appar- ently made arich haul.

Death to Mosquitoes.

(The Empire.)

An Anglo-Indian sends the following tip for those who are troubled by those very troublesome creatures, mosquitoes: “Throw alittle bit of alum, about the sizeofa marble, intoa small bowl of water, and wet the hands aad face and any exposed parts likely with it. Not a mosquito will approach you. They hum about a littleand then disappear. I never bad any occassion to use @ mosquito cur- tain, and am glad to think that I can per~ hape benefit otbers (travellers in particular) by this little bit of inrormation.
