ANY REASONABLE PROPOSALS Anil ltcntinclntlon or All Jllnlitu Over Culm MIiiIhIoih or VorulRii AIYhlt-M mid l'ulillo Instruction Hnvo JJoen Appointed to Conduct Xrgotlutloim. London, July 16. The Madrid corre spondent of The Dally Telegraph says: "Tin- government has definitely de cided to open peace negotiations with out delay, proposing as a basis the renunciation of all rlrrhts over Cuba and the Immediate discussion of any other 'reasonable proposals' the United States may make. "The reports that an armed Carllst band has made Its appearance In the neighborhood ot Leon are unfounded. Neither In that district nor In the province of Catalonia has public dls satlsractlon culminated In any violent or lawless acts. It Is rumored here that the government Intends, among other pacificatory plans to appoint Lieutenant General Weyler as captain general of Catalonia. "Although I have not spoken to him on the subject, I feel convinced that under present conditions he would not feel Justllled In accepting the position. Informal negotiations for peace are continuing. The government, It Is re ported, received yesterday a long dis patch In cipher containing the results up to date." The Madrid correspondent of The Daily Mall says: "Despite the offlclal denials, It Is strongly suspected that preliminary negotiations for peace are already under way !n the shape of In direct Inquiries regarding the terms of America which Spain might accept. It Is 03sertcd that M. Cambon, the French ombas-sudor it Washington, and Sir Henry Drummond-Wolff, Brit ish ambassador at Madrid, are acting respectively on behalf of Spain and America, In the conduct of inrjulri s which at present are quite Informal. "Duke Almodovar de Hlo, minister of foreign affairs, and Senor Gamazo, minister of public Instruction and public works, have been appointed by the government to conduct the nego tiations. Senor Gamazo said to a news paper representative: 'I cannot talk on the subject, as any Indiscretion might spoil the work and create dif ficulties.' "Probably the news of a termination of hostilities will not be published un til the conditions are arranged. No suspension ot arms .will precede the negotiations, because the scarcity of food in Cuba would cause the armistice to operate dlsadvantageously to the Spaniards, who might consume their remaining stores during Its continu ance. In any case the government Is absolutely decided on peace. The queen legent has had three Interviews with Lieutenant General Correa, min ister of war, and has persuaded him to cease his opposition to peace. Press ing dispatches in the same sense have been sent to Captain General Blanco. One of the chief reasons which have driven the government toward peace Is a fear that the Americans may get a footing In Porto Itlco, thus establishing a stronger claim to Include that Island In their demands for territory. "It has been suggested that the best way to overcome the hostility 6f the Spanish army In Cuba to neace would be to send the rank and file to their homes on their arrival In Spain and to Incorporate the officers In the reserve forces. Probably the Cuban army will not land In Spain in organized con dition, but In semi-disbanded frag ments and unarmed." The Madrid correspondent to The Dally Chronicle says: "The Issuance of the royal decree suspending the constitutional guarantees and virtually proclaiming a state of siege Is evidently Intended to check Carllsm. The Car list organ, El Correo Espanol, has been prohibited for the publication of an In sulting article." The Vienna correspondent of The Dally Chronicle says: "I learn on re liable authority that the Austrian court was Informed yesterday that Spain was prepared to cede Cuba and to pay In demnity, but not to abandon Porto Itlco. Senor Sagasta trusts to be able to retain the Philippines as a Spanish possession, the powers preferring the Islands to remain In Spanish rather than Aineilcan hands." The Vienna correspondent of The Times says: "It Is a favorable circum stance that the war seems to have di minished rather than Increased the es trangement of the two peoples. The Americans have a greater respect for the Spaniards and their considerate conduct and frank and cordial recog nition of Spanish gallantry has created a good Impression In Spain and Aus tria. "Spain has everything to gain by hastening peace. Should Commodore Watson's squadron secure a footing In the Canaries, the situation would be greatly complicated, while the longer the American forces remain In Cuba and the Philippines the more familiar the Americans will become with the idea of colonial expansion and the less Inclined to surrender their hold upon an acquisition whose value Is being emphasized by the covetous glances of European powers.

There was a Ioiib and nnxloua wait yesterday to hear further news from the commis sioners who had been charged to make arrangements for the surrender of the Spanish army at Santiago. It was thought the cable had been Interrupted, but on Inquiry of General Greely, chief signal olllcer, lip gave nssuranre that the cable was Intact. A dispatch from Lieutenant Jones, military censor at Playa Del Kste, reported that a mes sage from the secretary of war to General Shnftpr was only six minutes In passing from Washington to Playa. In the afternoon dispatches from General Miles nnd General Shatter be gan to arrive. They were not given nut In full, but such portions as were made public showed that tho negotiations were still In, progress and that the Spaniards had raised some rather un expected questions. Most Important of these was an Inslstance that the Span ish troops should retain their arms when they returned to Spain. There was entire willingness on tho part of General Tornl to turn over the arms to General Shatter at the time of sur render, but with this was to be the un derstanding that tho arms were to bo returned to the Spanish troops when; Spanish soil was renrhed. This was a.1 condition which had not been antici pated. The authorities here did not regard It as serious, or as likely to overcome a final settlement, as It Was attributed to the Spanish sensitiveness against the humiliation Involved In the laying down of their arms. At tho same time 11 was a rolnt on which neither appeared to be ready to yield. One of the dispatches from the front, after specifying that this difference had arisen, added that It was believed a settlement would soon be reached. General Shatter himself summed up the situation by saying: "It cannot bo possible that there will be failure in completing arrangements." No ques tion whatever has been raised as to the surrender Itself. Not only has Gen eral Toral agreed to It. but this agree ment has been ratified by General Blanco at Havana and by the Spanish authorities at Madrid. The perplexing problem now to bo solved Is how to carry out the pledge made by General Shatter to remove tho Spanish soldiers who surrender to Spain. It would have been no easy undertaking to remove the 23,000 men across the Atlantic under the best con ditions, but the reports that Indicated the existence of yellow fever among the Spaniards threatened all kinds of difficulties.' After all, It was decided to be only a matter of money, and If the price offered Is large enough steamship lines can doubtless be found to under take the transportation. At the best several weeks will be re quired to remove tho Spaniards, so that It will be necessary to maintain a considerable proportion of the Ameri can army In the neighborhood for soma time. Still, being under no care to pro tect themselves against the foe, the American troops can be so disposed as to make themselves very comfort able In comnarlson with what they have undergone, and by removing thorn Into tho hills just In the roar of San tiago, It Is believed that the danger of an extension of the yellow fever will be reduced so far that It will not long bn cause for crave apprehension. Tho surgeons' reports describe the dlseaso as of a mild type, and it Is said that this will readily yield to a change of location Into higher and cooler ground. Discovered by a Woman.

Captain Gen eral Blanco, nt Havana, will be de prived of all means of communicating with his government at Madrid, except through a strict censorship, when the American army formally takes pos session of Santiago. There can be no doubt on this question, as General Shatter will direct Immediately on taking charge of the city that the American operators he placed In the telegraph otllce there. Tho signal office officials will maintain a censorship of everything that is offered for trans mission from Havana over the cable leading to Haiti or to Jamaica, and nothing will be permitted to be sent which In any way Is Inimical to the Interests of the government.

The fourth Manila c cni ilitum has sailed. Major General otls mv' his Ilagshlp, Oily of Pueblo, accompanied by the transport Peru, yeHterday pmceeded down the bay and out to sea. The enthusiasm at their departure was manifested by cheering crowds, blowing whistles and firing cannon. The soldiers on the transports crowd ed Into the ilgging and answered tha cheeilng of the civilians and responded to the dipping of lings of the merchant vessels by waving their hats and hand kerchiefs. Major General Otis and staff have their headquarters on the City of Pueblo, which also carries the remain ing companies of the Fourteenth Uni ted States Infantry, recrultB of the First and Second battalions of the Klghth and Twenty-third regiments, enlisted men of the First North Dakota, First Wyoming and First Idaho, med ical oitlcers and members ot the hos pital corps, a total of 843 men. This expedition will stop at Honolulu, where they will participate In the annexation ceremonies nnd take on fresh provis ions and refill their cnal bunkers. The troops on the Peru consist of n squadron of the Fourth United States cavalry, light batteries of the Sixth United States artillery, a detachment of the Third United States artillery, a detachment ot the signal corps under Captain Itussell, a detachment of vol unteera, medical ofllcers and members of the hospitnl corps, about 020 men. The last ordeis of General Otis before leaving were that the remaining troops should sail as soon as possible, Irre spective of lleets or other expected ves sels.
