PEACE.
Negotiations Said to be Going On.
Loxpoy; July 14.—The Star claims to be in aposition to state authoritatively that an exchange cf views occured on Monday and Tuesday between the diplo- mats who are endeavorieg toarrive at a
ace understanding between the United Btates and Spain. It also understands that the Spanish government is ready to agree to evacuate Cuba if her soldiers are allowed to depart ina manner acceptable to any army which has not been defeated, and if the United States is ready to assume the Cuban debt. The greatest difficulty is with the question of # war indemnity, but the solution of this may perhaps be found io @ pruposal from a syndicate of Ameri- caa and English bankers to repay the United States its war expenses iu twenty anouities, takingin retura the tobacco monopoly and the railroad concessions iv Cuba and the Philippines.
It is rumored that if Spain will surren~ der Santiago de Cubs without further blood-hed, President McKiuley, in order to facilitate peace, may abandon the attack op Porto Rico.
If the pending peace negotiations succeed, the Queen Regent will appoint a Moret G@abinet to siga the articles of peace.
The Stur adds thatattbe last moment it learns that Spain has expressed its readi- ness to allow Germany the Vizcaya islands, Sarmaeylete, Mindora and Paraga,provided Germany will guarantee to Spain posses~ sion of Mindanao avd the Carolines, in which case Spain will abandoa Luzon to the United States.

THE PHILIPPINES.
Mutiny on Shipboard --- Situation at Manila.
Hone Kona, July 13.—Letters received here from Cavite, under dateof July 9th, say that while the Spanish eteamer Fili- pioas was sailing in the river near Subic, the crew mutinied agd killed the officers. They handed the steamer over to the in surgents, who armed the vessel and des- patched it to Subic forthe purpose of making an attack on Grande Island. Coutinuing, the letters confirm the story told by the Associated Press corres- pondent at Manila in regard to the action of the German warship Ireneand the steps iaken by Admiral Dewey to prevent interference with the insurgents, addiug that the Spanish prisoners, in spite of their protests, were handed over to the ineur- gents with the captured arms and ammu- bition.
The Germans, it appears, fraternize with the Spaniards, and Germano oi- ficere are often seen in the Spanish trenches.
Dyeentery is reported to have broken out among the American troops.

Sr. Joun’s, Nfld., July 13.—The nego~ tiations between the colonial delegates now in London, and Mr. Joseph Chamber-~ lain, secretary of state forthe colonies, are progressing favorably. It is understood that Receiver-General Morine will repre- sent Newfoundland before the special commission shortly to meet in Quebec for the settlement of questions in dispute be~ tween Canadaand the United States. The question of reciprocity between Newfound- land and the United States wil! be reopen- ed then, concurrently with or independent of Canada.

ISLAND, FRIDAY, JULY I5: | — GOOD FIGHTING
By Both Americans and Spanish
COLORED TROOPERS TIGHT LIKE DEMONS
In an interview, Private J. D.Aoek ster, of froow C, First United States Cavalry (New York.) now at at Savanuab, says: ‘*We fought on foot and went at it with
carbines. We were pretty well trained in their use and mavaged to do good work. Our men fired more accurately than the Spaniards, Their Mauser rifles shoot faster than our Krag-Jorgonson pieces, but tWey load and firetoo rapidly. We worked slower and more effectively. Our bulletstold. The Spanish trenches were filled with deed. Often the enemy left thelr trenches exposed on the flank and we wheeled Gat] ing guns tothe end and
mowed them down with araking fire. They couldn’t stand that.
“They had us at a disadvantage the first day. Their volley firing was very effective. They would rise as one man, al] shoot to~ gether, and then fall down and craw! off.
Sut we got used to this. We counted their steps as we lay on the ground and when they would raise we could fire before they could shoot. We soon headed them off. We could drop and dodge ag wel] as they, for we had practised all this.
“This talk about the Spanish not hav- ing provisions in the field is bosh. Their trenches, which we captured, were filled with enough food to last a month.
THK SPANISH FIGHT WELL, in trenches and in trees. Get them ina block -house and they are etubborn. We rarely got nearer to them than 1,000 feet; | now and then we closed up and surrounded their block~houses, They didn’t get away when we did this,
We didn’t mind the wire fences much. The barbed wire was strung from green posts. Our Cuban scouts would run out under protection of our fire and with matchetes cut down the posts. They were small and thin, This would diapose of the wire fences, and we walked right over them. We advanced all the time. Our army never gave up & position it once oc~- cupied. We held everythins we captured. Once an order came for the Seventh Infan- try to retreat from a hot place, but the

order was never obeyed. We never went back from any part of our lines. As scouts and guards and spies the Cubans are all right. In battle we sent them out of the; way because it was hard to tell them trom '! the Spaniards. Many of them had Span- ish uniforms which they had captured and some of them were almost naked.
The first thing a Spanish prisoner did
was to beg not to be surrendered to the Cubans, The Spaniards had a way of sit~ ting in trees and shooting at us on the ground. They used smokeless powder, and we could not tell where the shote which killed our men were coming from. The foliage was very dense, and it was hard tosboot the men. We got so, aftera few days; that we could tumble them ou very handily. “The Colored troopers in the United States cavalry fought like demons at Siboney and at El Caney. I was right alongside of the rough riders. They make splendid soldiers. Our troop Captains be-~ haved splendidly. There was none of our men to show the white feather. Old Gen. Wheeler is a hero; the men are devoted to him and wiil follow him anywhere.”
SPAIN’S PROBLEM.
How to Bring About Peace Without a Revolution.
Maprip, July 13.—Among the most difficult problems facing the present Gov- ernment, which individually and colleci- ively desires peace, is adeepatch from Captain-General Bianco, who aflirma that the spirit of the people of Cuba renders the proposition of the cevsation of hostili- ties impossible. The Goverument, if it can be so called when all the members have their resignations in abeyance, is in a quandary as to the peace pruposition. ‘1 be public has deciared it would mean a Carlist rising. The prolongation of the war meaos the bombardment of Cadiz.” Such are the words of a responsible states- man,
One of the leading Carlists eaid today, in speaking of the Carlist question, which is a serious one of moment: “A Carlist in= surrection would be of the greatest benefi to the regency as it would concentrate al)
the Liberal element around thé throne.”
The Government has taken ample mea- sures against the Carliste, suonld it decide upon peace. There is now good reason to suppose no internal diseensions will be strong enough to alter the course chesen. The Government has telegraphed to Mon-~ tero Rios, president of the Senate, to come atonce to Madrid. The significance ef this lies in the fact that Rics is a staunch partisan of pesce,
