The administration has ilcicnniiied that if Cervera will not light, nut manifests a determination to get awaj and return to Spain, to fodow up and "kill" his tleet before It can reach Its own side of the Atlantic. To do this might require the sending of coal ships along with the Vnltcd States Meet for somo distance, but If any accident should happen to any of the Spanish vessels or tho cool should run nut, Admiral Cervera would havo to run the risk of destruction or else aban don a disabled vessel In the hope of get ling off wiih iho others, or perhaps be overtaken by single ships until the whole licet was gobbled up. It Is calculated by naval officers (hat the Spanish licet has now nbout exhausted Its fuel and that it cannot undertako tho difficult task of re treating, into the treasury of tho Untied States. As the war progresses the same system ot collecting taxes Is to bo applied to such Spanish territory as may be occupied, thus compelling tho territory to aid in defraying- tho exivnses of the war. Until such tlmo as congress shall take action forniully annexing the Philippines or other conquered Spanish territory to the United States, all goods coming from such territory will be taxed at the United States custom houses Just as goods from other countries.

He assures that we may rely on the good will of the Holy See." The reply of the British government to Senor Rascon was noncommltal, merely expressing regret "at an event that might disturb unnecessarily the good relations between Spain and the United States. Mr. Balfour is telegraphing the ambas sador at Washington to inform the gov ernment of the conciliatory attitude of Spain," From a dispatch from Count Hoyos, the Sanish ambassador at Vienna, It appears that Austria recommended on March 27 that ' the report of the Sounish commis sion on the Maine be published as an off set to tho American report." There are two gaps in this dispatch which from the context would appear to contain submission to the Uniud States demands. Count Muaravief, according to Senor Gullon, on March 27 showed himself full of sympathy for Spain. "Ho assured ma that the emperor was animated by the same feelings." Senor Maxo report March 27 from Romo that the Italian minister "Informed me w ith very visiule conviction that his gov ernment, animated with as frUndly feel ings towards tho queen as Spain, will net in the direction Simln suggests.
