The destruction of Cerveni's fleet, and the surrender of the Spanish at Santia go has made peace talk very prevalent on the other side of the Atlantic, but up to thia time there has been no official wor<l from Spain on the subject. Mem bers of the diplomatic corps say that the peat e ta.k is being eneo iraged by the Spanish government, as a “feeler" ol public sentiment in both Spain and this I country In administration circles it is suoi that nothing short ol a request from the government of Spain will cause this government tonaure its terms of peace— they will not be made to any other gov ernment acting for Spain—and that nothing short ol an absolute and unqual- ifled acceptance of those terms will cause the »lightest change in tlie plans for the further crushing ol Spain's power. It is stated at the navy department that the fleet of Commodore Watson w ill start for Spain thia week, and that the campaign against l'orto Rico is to lie pushed ahead as rapidly as possible.
