BAGRSTA ALONE Must Sulue Tfic Situation That Fasts Spain IS BETWEEN TWO FIRES Or Rather .‘Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea- Marid, July 13.—The crieb Jiangs fire. The miuisten still meet in council and the difficulties of retirement seem even greater ihan the difficulties of remaining in office. The conservatives are no’ prepared to accept office, and it if hard *o imagine a liberal /•abine> without an undisputed liberal leader. Tie logical conclusion is tha 1 SeDor riugastu mu«t accept tin reeponbibiity of deciding whether or not to open peace negotia ions Senor Sagasti, on being asked whether a decision had been taken regarding peace, replied : ‘No. but w hat r medy can theie be but to make peace?” The ministerialists assert the regular army in Cuba does not object to a conclus’on of peace, but that the 20,000 volunteers are determined to continue the war. The possibility of peace with the United States is being widely dis cussed in the newspapers and by • the publi c. The c< nservative paper declare Spa n s prepared to accept peac“ provided it implies only the loss of Cuba. But they assei t Spain would prefer war a Poutrance if the United States should claim Porto Rico, the Philippines or ai immense indemnity which would be impossible for Spain to pay. Orders have been received by llv Seville garrison to hold itself sn readiness to proceed to the defence of the coasts. It is believed that the garrison’s destination is a camp near Gibraltar. The order is much commented upon. The American consuls at Gibraltar and Tangier, it is said, have bought enormous quantities of coal and the American collier are repoited to be between Cape Spartel on the northwest coast ol Morocco and Cape St. Vincut.

Cleveland, 0., July 12.—Live.- of eleven men, were snuffed oui last evening in the big water works tunnel that is being con st! noted under the bottom of Lake Erie as a result of an ex plosion of gas. The following are the names of the killed : John Parka, foreman, thirty two years ohiand single. James Parks, brother of John, thirty years old and single. John F. Kadey, an Italian, twenty-two years old and single. Tony Brunetti, an Italian, twenty two years old an 1 single. John Lamba, an Italian, eigh teen years old and single. Emerson Smith, bricklayer, forty-four years old, married . John McCauley, twenty-one years old ; married. William Tucker, colored,twen ty-six years old, single. . Gus Watts, twenty-eight years old, wife and several children. Frank Clements, married, with several children. Frank Haney, aged twenty two, not married. The tunnel is an immense as s. ir, being proj cted to extend outward from the shore for a I distance of four and and a half miles, and it has been under construction for more than a year. The explosion occurred at a few minutes bes re 7 o’clock last evening, but nobody will ever be able to tell what caused it, or how it happened, for every witness is dead and the bodies of.all are lying where they fell, 6,000 feet out under the lake. The only man in the tunnel who escaped death is Don O’Don nell, who was standing 3,500 feet from the shore. He heard the explosion or series of explo sions. He says there were ten of the shocks and the concussion was something terrible, for it threw him off his feet and for hours lie was in such a dazed condition that he could scarcely remember what had happened. He finally groped lais way out and told what had occurred. A rescuing party was sent into the tunnel, but failed utterly in accomplishing anything, as the structure was filled with foul gas and smoke. THE SADNESS OF WAR.
