Anxious For Peace, But Fears Political Foes. The Majority in Favor of Yielding to tho Demands. ONE WHO WANTS WAR CONTINUED Senor Nocedal Insists That Spain Should Fight For Better Terms Senor Robledo Believes That Should Americans Attack Spanish Port9 the Powers Would Prompt ly Interfere Many Conferences With Party Leaders and an Effective Cabinet Meeting. Madrid, Aug-. C In yesterday's con ference between Senor SagaHtu, and Senor Sllvela the latter urged that It was- Imperative to summon the cortes for the negotiation of a treaty of peace. General I'olavleja, who was present, declined subsequently to speak of the conference to representatives of the press, on tho ground that his duty as a soldier Imposed secrecy upon lilm, but Oeneral Azcnrrnga said that If Spain possessed adequate resources the war would be continued In order to se cure more acceptable conditions, other wise peace ought to be immediately concluded. General Chlnchella, captain general of Madrid, said: "We have a brave and well disciplined army, and It Is ready to go wherever It Is sent.1' Later Senor Sagasta conferred with Senor Salmeron, tho Republican leader, who told the premier, In the course of a long conference, that he blamed the government greatly for closing the cortes and stilling the press. After the Interview he said he assured Senor Sagasta that he would reserve his opin ion on the general situation until the chamber was convoked, but that, neith er directly nor Indirectly, would he sup port the "existing oligarchy, which Is the cause of all Spain's misfortunes. Last evening the premier conferred with Gencinl Weyler, Marshal Prlmo do Itlvera, Senor Gamazo, minister of public Instruction and public works, and Senor Ilomero Glron, minister of the colonies. Senor Sagasta pointed out all the facts of the situation with the utmost frankness to the various politicians, In dlcatlng reasons for and against a con tinuation of the war, and citing, for example, the fact that General Blanco, so far from being dejected, proposed plans to continue the resistance. Senor Sagasta's picture as a whole, however, was painted In sombre col ors. Senor Montero Itlos, president of the senate, the Marquis Vega do Arme Jo, presldtnt of the chamber of depu ties, Marshal Martinez de Campos, the Duke of Tetuan and Senor Sllvela, tho leader of the Dissident Conservatives, all favor peace. The Duke of Tetuan, however, thinks a government of great er authority necessary to negotiate the conditions. A majority of the politicians who conferred with Senor Sagasta coun seled peace. Hut Senor Nocedal, leader of the Ultramontancs, urged war al 'outrance, even if the Yankees, he said, were to capture Spanish ports, as prob ably then an International conflagra tion would avenge Spain by placing her In a position to gain more than by making a shameful peace now. Sonor Ilomero y Robledo, In the course of an Interview, paid: "Senor Sagasta Informed me as to the contents of tho American note. In addition to the demands already known the American government asks the occupation and possession of Man ila and Sublg bav. M. Cambon ob tained from President McKlnley the substitution of the word 'possession' of another word meaning practically the same thing." This revelation has caused 11 ferment here. It. was understood at first that the Americans only demanded tempor ary occupation, pending arrangement tor the future government of the Phil ippines. It Is believed the powers ob ject to the Americans retaining per manent possession of Manila and Su blg bay. The latter Is a splendid naval station. At last night's council Senor Sagasta recounted to his colleagues what had been said In the conference with the various political leaders earlier In the day. No decision was taken. Senor rulgeervler, minlsterof finance, read a proposal to Increase the note circulation and guarantee of the Bank of Spain. Tho council also considered an official dispatch from Santiago, signed by Gen eral Toral, saying that owing to tho Emallness of the camp which the Amer icans had conceded, the absence of tents and the Improper food, the num ber of Spanish ftlck had Increased to 10,000, the death rate being from 12 to 14 dally. The dispatch said nlso thnt the beds were now altogether Insuf ficient for so large a number of sick soldiers, and that their transportation homo ought to commence Immediately, General Tornl Informs the government that the wound of General Linares had not developed any complications, but was causing him a great deal of pain. rebelliousIfficers Of the Sixth Massachusetts Volunteers May Be Discharged From the Army For Insubordination. Washington, Aug. 6. Two messages were received at tho war 2partnient yesterdny from Ponce, the first an nouncing tho death from yellow fever of a brilliant young urmy officer, First Lieutenant James II. Steele, of the sig nal corps, and tho second from General Miles himself, touching tin tho trouble In the Sixth Massachusetts regiment, which has been made tho subject ol official Inquiry by Secretary Alger. De tails of the latter telegram are not ob tainable, but it Is apparent that gen eral Miles Is determined to repress Itcrnly at tho very beginning any de pal ture from military discipline, even among the volunteer clement In hi command. As near as can be gath ered the officers of the Sixth declined to submit to an examination which was prescribed by the brigade officers, the proper authority, and upon the Insist ence of the latter they sought to re sign their commissions. General Mile himself Is dealing with the case, and If he should decide to allow these of ficers to resign or discharge them from the service of the United States, and the latter Is possible, the governor of Massachusetts will be called upon to appoint their successors. It can be said that up to this time the officials 111 e thoroughly satlslled with General Miles' conduct of the Porto Ulcati campaign, and they do not hesitate to admit that the events that have oecuirod since his landing at Guanlca fully Justify tho arbitrary change made by him in the carefully laid plans of the dep.vtment for the conduct of the campaign.

POWDER Absolutely Puro SOMETHING JVIUST GIVE. Policy of Helrenchment by the School Board. CONDITIONS THAT REQUIRE IT! A Question Whather tha Salaries of the Teachers Shall be Keduced, or the School Term Cut Down a Month. Will be Decldol on Mon day Night. Cousidcrablo interest is being manifested in the outcome of tho School Board meeting to bo held next Monday evening, when it is expected tho school term and salaries of the teachers will be fixed. Tho main cause of the interest Is tho report that tho Board will probably adopt a policy of retrenchment of expenses, and thus far tho Diiectors have jealously guarded their Intentions in that direction. There is much speculation as to what will bo finally docidod upon, but it is quite cer tain that a considerable reduction in expenses will result. Many propositions havo been mado. Among them Is ono that tho salaries of the teachers be reduced, and many people besides tho teachors thomselvos havo expressed opposi tion to it. It will bo remembered that Superintendent Cooper, in his report to tlie Hoard at its last meeting, stated that "a reduction in salary will bo discouraging to tho teacher," intimating that roduced salary may so otl'oet tho teacher as to briug reduced efficiency. Another proposition is that tho saiarios bo allowed to stand, but that tho school term be roduced from ten to nino months. To this there is also objection, iirlnclnallv oma- nating from the teachers, who claim that a reduction of tho term must necessarily bo followed by a reduction in tho curriculum, as it would bo impossible to complete tho teu- moiitli course in any shorter time. There aro also people who onnoso tho nronositlnn m the genoral principlo that tho children can not rccoivo too much education aud the retrenchment should be made in somo other quarter so tUdt the term shall not bo dis turbed. There is a third suggestion, to-wit : that for tho present year thu schedulo of salaries no suspended and that the touchers bo paid the same rate of salaries' they received last year, under tho sohodule each teacher is en titled to a slight itiereaso in proportion to the number of years of teaching. If the schedule is suspended this increase will not bo given. But, it is said, the saving from this source will be only a drop In tho bucket, becauso it will not reach livo hundred dollars. A reduc tion of tho school term to nino months will result in a saving of about ,000. Whatever plan tho Board adonts will m,t bo pleasing and nccoptablo to overybody. but the couditiou of affairs staring them in tho faco makes somo policy of retrenchment im perative. The state appropriation is reduced 3,000 this year and thoro is a large amount of unpaid taxes upon which the Board does not leol justified in building estimates for tho current year. Tho problem is by no moausuiiucultor solutioti when an ell'ort is mado to satisfy all concjnied, but tho Di rectors havo given tho subject considerable thought aud will no doubt bo in a position on Monday night to adopt a measuro that will servo tho best interests of all concerned.
