Nkw York, June 20.—A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Madrid
says:
An allocution to the government by
the powerful council general of Cata
lonia, which icprebontb the mercantile
intelligence of Spain, calling for peace,
hub created a deep impression here, all
the more on account of the logical and
practical reasonings with which the
council advocates a cessation of hos
tilities.
It states that nlthough the council
considers America's conduct unquali
fiedly unjust, yet that does not justify
Spain in continuing an unequal com
bat. which is bound to result in over
whelming ruin. "It is better,” it says,
to submit to an amputation, painful
though It be. than to carry on a ter
rible war with its thousands of disas
ters. The matter will not be any
more glorious after we have been
ruined and the blood, of thousands of
our soldiers shed.” The allocution
ends with a call for immediate peace.
The endlrss objections raised in the
cortes to the taxation necessary for the
continuation of the war are met by the
governmental organ, El Dia. It says:
"The country neither aaks for nor
wants war. It understands neither its
origin nor its issue, and on that ac
count shows neither enthusiasm of any
kind nor on that account does it re
spond by its attitude to the responsi
bilities. which the situation Imposes
unon the «rnw»rnm**nt. It rf>fiiM«i
ri flees which would willingly he ac
cepted under other circumstances.
With such a sentiment existing it is
impossible to ask the government to
prolong a war for which the country
doeap'i seem Inclined to provide the
necessary resources. Without money
we cannot have war.”
The Epoca. whose seriousness is
above question, says: “In our opinion
El Dia reflects with thorough exacti
tude the position of the government.
The Epoca cannot understand how the
government can vacilate as to which
course to take. It says: “There can
be little doubt, according to the con
census of matnred opinions, which
have been gathered, that peace at the
present moment, when the entire world
gives full recognition to Spanish valor
and bravery, is highly opportune un
der the circumstances, which may not
be so good again.”
Madhiii. June 30.—There is consid
erable comment here to-day over a long
conference which has just taken place
between the British ambassador to
Spain, Sir Henry Drummond-Wolff,
and the Spanish minister for war, (ien
eral Correa.
The newspapers of this city to-day
pubMsh the text of a manifesto from
the inhabitants of Catalonia, of which
Barcelona is the capital, in favor of
peace between Spain and the United
States.
Lospos, June 20.—Under the head
ing: “Is the Bank of Spain Solvent?”
the London Statist lengthily discusses
Spain's condition, saying: “Upon the
bank’s ability to finance the govern
ment depends the continuation aud
duration of the war. Practically the
Spanish government Is now reduced to
the expedient of using the printing
press to meet its war outlays and the
longer that printing press is in oper
ation and the more notes are issued
the greater will bo the depreciation of
the value of the paper peseta. If the
war lasts much longer we may see the
I-1 -- <n uun «» h Q Ulor
count of 50 per cent, depreciate as did
the assignat of France at the close Of
the last uentury. The formal suspen
sion of specie payments cannot long
lie delayed. Indeed the suspension has
practically occurred."
The Statist then presents an nrray
of figures showing the exact position
of the hank, with a note circulation of
$2ti3,000,000 without any coin reserve
available for Its redemption, and fur
ther pointing out that such note circu
lation may lie increased to8500,000.000.
Finally, the Statist say* that in three
years the Spanish and Cuban govern
ments have iiorrowed 8200,000,000 from
the liuuk of Spaiu.

MILES’ REASON FOR DELAY.
———
Lack of Mr.ll and Railway facilities
Caused Confusion.
Washington. June 20.—Major Gen
eral Miles arrived in Washington yes
terday, after having directed the de
parture of the first army of invasion to
Cuba.
Ueneral Miles'attention was directed
to reports coming from Tampa of great
confusion and delay in preparing the
expedition and getting it off for Cuba.
“Yes,” said he, “there were causes
contributing to this delay. In the first
place the postoffice service at those
points of army concentration is very
deficient. They have the snme facili
ties, and no more, as the local towns
have when normal conditions exist.
When 20,000 to 2.'>.00n inen are added to
the population of the small towns,
and all of the men are sending and
receiving letters from their friends
and relatives at home, besides the
large amount of official business car
ried on. the local postoflice facilities
are entirely inadequate. That has
been one of tiie troubles at Tampa,
Chickamaugu and other places, and as
a result t he official communication to
and from the war department, on
which depend the regularity of move
ment of many kinds of stores, has
been seriously delayed.
“Then, in gathering the munitions
of war for an army, it was necessary
to have the service of a great number
of trains, loaded with stores, crowding
the meager railway lines far beyond
their usual capacity. However, this is
being straightened out now, and al
most all of it has been overcome.
General Miles was asked for the com
munications between himself and
Garcia, and, glancing over them, he
gave ther general purport.
“In my communication to him I
asked him to move as large a force as
possible to the vicinity of the harbor
of Santiago de Cuba, and to co-operate
with our army and navy on their ar
rival, which 1 hoped would l* in a few
days: lie was to drive in and harms*
the Hpanish troopa near Santiago de
Cuba threatening and attacking them
at all points, and preventing any re
inforcements from reaching that point,
l'ending the arrival of our troops he
was to seize any positions east or west
of Santiago, or both, which could be
used to advantage by our artillery.
"He replied that he would regard
my wishes and suggestions as orders,
and would Immediately adopt meas
ures to concentrate his forces as indi
cated.
"All his subordinates are ordered to
assist in the disembarking of the
I'nlted States troops and to place
themselves under orders. Gensral Gar
cia said he believed it possible for the
artillery to be taken as I had suggest
ed. He sent a force at once to prevent
aid and reinforcements going to Santi
ago de Cuba. The energy of his course
is shown by the reports of the last few
days, for I see tiiat General Itabi and
his men have taken a strong position
just west of Santiago. While there
were unavoidable delays at Tampa,
very annoying to myself and others, 1,
at least, had the consolation of know
ing that every day enabled the Cubans
to make their march across the country
and get positions which would be of
the greatest value to our troops when
they landed."
When General Miles was asked if he
expected an early light, he answered
laconically:
’’That a what they've gone for."

Insurgents In Manila Will Cnpture the
General Next
Madrid, June 20.—The following
dispatch from Manila, signed by Cap
tain General August!, and dated June
13, is published officially:
"The grave situation set forth in my
dispatch of June 8 continues. The
troops are lighting on the line of
blockhouses, which stops the enemy's
advance. Th# enemy has been
strengthened by desertions of the na
tive troops, which diminish onr means
of re*intone*, and may compel me to
taka refuge within the walled city.
“Communication with the province*
Ih still cut off, and I do not know
whether the detachment there will lie
able to hold out against a lack of re
souress.
“I hope to receive assistance from
the peninsula before our means of de
fense are exhausted."
Senor Sagasta, replying in the Cor
tes to a question as to whether Manila
had fallen, replied in the negative, but
he added that the situation there was
of the gravest character.
Japan,according to a apecial dispatch
from Shanghai, is sending additioual

No More Spanish Resistance to
Americans in Guantanamo.
FORT A PICTURESQUE RUIN.
Interrupted Message* Show That the
Enemy's Resource. Are Exhausted—
Soldiers Now on Hell Rations—Active
Aid From Insurgents.
Kingston, .Jamaica. June 20.—Tho
week's campaign in Eastern Cuba lias
resulted in the practical demolition
of the outer fortifications of Santiago
de Cuba, in anticipation of the arrival
of the troops and the occupation of the
fine harlior of Guantanamo, in which
to-day are anchored such magnificent
ships as the Oregon and the St. 1’aul,
together with the Marblehead, Dol
phin, Suwanee and eleven other aux
iliary gunboats, colliers and press dis
patch floats, In an average depth of
seventeen fathoms of water.
The military resistance to the de
finite oocupation has practically ceased
since the bombardment on Wednesday.
An intercepted official report of the
Spanish military commandant indi
cates that his military resources arc
exhausted. Ills soldiers arc now on
half rations. There are supplies only
for the remainder of June. The com
mandant has already seised all the
private drug supplies for the soldiers.
The close oordon maintained by the
Cubans about Guantanamo is illus
trated by the fact that official Spanish
communications, sent in duplicate by
land and water, have been intercepted
and the Spanish messengers in both
cases have been shot by the Cubans
while attempting to pass the lines.
For the last three nights there has
been comparative quiet in the camp of
the marines on the crest of the hill
near Guantanamo bay. At dusk vol
unteers from the warships go ashore
and camp near the hill to be at hand
in case of an emergency, and the
Cubans go far out in the chaparral in
order to prevent the Spaniards from
stealing a march on the camp.
General Parez, commanding the
Eastern division of the insurgent army,
called on Captain McCalla of the
Marblehead yesterday and reported
that he had 3,000 men. of whom 1,200
would reinforce the marines in a few
days. Many bands of insurgents are
now gathered along the coast, west
ward to Santiago de Cuba.
The warships have done no firing
since Wednesday's bombardment of
the fortifications of the inner harbor
and the town of Caimanera.
The Marblehead and Texas struck
contact mines without exploding them.
Each mine contained forty pounds of
gun cotton, sufficient to destroy any
vessel.
The bombardment of Guanatanamo
bay was not so heavy an at Santiago.
The Spaniards fired only live shots and
then fled. Three shots struck near the
Marblehead, but none hit her. The
ships steamed within 3,600 yards of the
fort before opening fire, and then fired
with deadly accuracy.
The Texas stopped in the narrow
channel to avoid grounding, but the
Marblehead steamed ahead and swung
around the south side of the harbor.
Her first shots went wild, but the lit
tla Suwanee, which was following her,
found the range and sent shots
straight into the foundation of the
fort, hurling into the air bricks and
dust. The Texas finished the business,
two of her 12-inch shells reducing the
fort to a picturesque und useless ruin.
The Marblehead then turned her at
tention to the barracks and breast
works southwest of the harbor and
speedily demolished them, sending the
Spanish garrison flying for their lives.
As the Spaniard ran down the
rnainlnnd the St. Paul's fi-inch guns
were trained on them, and several of
the soldiers were seen to fall. Th#
number of killed and wounded is not 1
known.
The bombardment lasted an hour ,
and a quarter and was for the pur- I
poa* of preventing a movement
of Spanish troops from the town
to the fortifications. Tha insur
gent fiwces. which have liecn armed
and equipped by Captain MoCalla, not
only prove to bo daring scouts, but
turn out to lie brave fighters and good
shots with the Lee-Metford rifles.

New York. June 20.—A dispatch t
the New York Herald from Madrid
says: News concerning the adduction
of the queen regent of .Spain, which
was given by the Paris Temps without
details, has been very half-heartedly
denied in the Madrid press.
The quern regent, much depressed
by the sad situation of the country and
tlic Spanish people's lack of sympathy
for her, made up her mind a fortnight
ago to renounce her right and title as
regent in favor of the Infanta Isabella
sister of the late King Alfonso XII.
A ministerial council was held, aflei
which nil the members visited the
queen regent to beg her to give up
the scheme for the present. They told
her that under the present circum
stances alHlication would seem like
lliglit and would be very badly con
strued by the country. Premier 8a
gasta was so persuasive that he ob
tained the following reply from the
queen regent: “1 admit you are right,
sir, but I do not altogether give up my
plan; 1 only postpone it.”
