Government Almost Forced to Confess This to Its People. New York, July 15. A dbpatch from Madrid eays: "If the war party In Spain persists, despite the advice of the pope and the powers, the govern ment will make known soon how scant are provisions and ammunition among the Spanish forces in Cuba and Forto Rico on confession cf the governors themselves. Moreover, it will publish a financial statement showing that all Spain's resources of supply have been drained, that all the advances made by the Bank of Spain are exhausted and that the only resource now la to stop the payment of the Interest on the debt and of the sinking fund and to issue bond3 at 6 and 7 per cent, in terest, with the doub'.e guatanty of the Spanish, treasury and the Bank of Spain." In the court and In official quarters it ia believed that if such extreme ar guments are resorted, to the army at least will see that the game Is up and will assent to peace. But General Blanco cannot undertake to procure the submission of the Spanish voIqriteers and irregulars in Cuba nor to disarm them. They Intirrated to h!m when con sulted that If the Spanish government made peace they would fight in guerril la fashion. A special from Washington says: "Believing that the effect of an ap pearance of an American squadron on the Spanish const will be In direct pro portion to the strength of the fleet. Sec retary Lcng and the naval board have decided to strengthen Commodore Wat son's ctmmand by an additional ar morclad and probably tl-.ree or four pro tected and unprotected cruisers." ItLANCO'S ATTKMPT AT .SV1CIIHC Said to Have lleeoine Preiisled Over Cer vera's Defeat. Key West, Fia., July 13. According to advices from Havana Captain Gen eral Blanco attempted suicide when he learned beyond doubt that Admiral Cer vera's squadron had been annihilated. Long before the Spanish admiral's gal lant dash out of Santiago harbor all Havana had been boasting of his abil ity to outwit the Americans, and when misleading dispatches gave the impres sion that he had eluded the American squadron the demonstrations of Joy in the Cuban capital partook of the na ture of a festival. When the true story of defeat came It was discredited until definite confirm ation from Madrid left no room for hope. Gloom settled upon the city and all gayetles were stopped. Blanco was in the palace when the intelligence reached him, and he became almost frenzied. He was closeted with his staff and General Arolas of the Spanish forces, discussing the news, when he made the attempt on his life. After a struggle he was subdued and disarmed, but the shock was so severe that he was prostrated and compelled to keep to his bed for several days. When he arose his first order was to prohibit any food supplies from leaving Havana for interior towns, where the distress Is most poignant and where many are starving dally. Alarm In Portugal.
