MADRID , July 17.-Via ( the irontier- )
( New York World Cablegram - Special

a sitigular aspect under the extraordinary
measures taken by the government to hit-
pose silence on the press all over the king-
thorn , At first nil the papers attempted a
hirotest against the proceedings , without

reign of Isabella II on the eve of the rev-
ohution , whets similar seventies were resorted -

utnns where thie censor had suppressed ar-
tides or paragraphs , intimating that they
must be filled up. Time public ignores thin
seventies of the censor , whichi are oven
worse in the provinces.
One leading liberal statesiiinn explains
the conduct of the government as follows -
lows : 'Sugasta hind to resort to a severe
policy because several generals , even Wey-
ler , Canipos , l'oiavieja and Chinchiihla , told
him they could not answer for the conse-
qtielices of ( lie agitation fomented by the
press and Cariist anti republican conspira-
des. On the other hand the Nunclo amid
foreign ambassador told him steps could not
be taken for hence unless McKinley assured
the government lie could enforce the con-
ditlons imposed by the force of events.
For about the same reasons Sagasta alid
the niinister of war affected to ignore the
march of negotiations for the capitulation
of Santiago , though every day hilanco and
Torah telegraphed the successive stages of
parleylng , Bianco washing his hands of all
responsibility for Torah , whilst the government -
ment iii Madrid took care to state omcially
that Torah acted entirely on his own re-
sponslbility and could not undertake to
otTer to surrender all the forces in tim
vlioie province of Santiago. It is a very
risky game , but the only means to save the
monarchy and regency if the army reaiains
loyal. "
In consequence of ( lie reign of terror in-
nugurated by the government the peophe
believe the wildest rumors afloat , as between -
tween tIme lines everybody sees that the papers -
pers hint much , affecting to know more than
perhaps they truly do. The universal mi-
presslon is that the government is 3ehaving
so ciicatoriahly simply because it has
ground to bcliev the rnoriare.hy is menaced
by the Carhists and republicans. flesides ,
there is widespread popular anti military
discontent , therefore a high handed policy
is deemed necessary to make imace quickly
without the assistance of I'arhlament. That
will only be asked for a bill of Indemnity
when the nation is somewhat reconciled to
the sacrifice of territory in the West Indies
anti Philippines.
France , Austria , Russia anti Germany
have again told the queen regent anti her
ministers that it is Indispensable to secure
an early peace as that alone can save Spain

secure their neutrality.
