Many believe that the war will be brought to anend within a few weeks, but they do not think ia can bow to the inevitable with- out sacrificing the government and dynasty. Many stories are afloat as to the attitude of the powers when the crisis reaches the stage which will demand interference to preserve in- tact the concert of Europe. The Arena claims that the powers had concluded to intervene after the Grat battle, but that the scheme was spoiled by the refusal of Rus: at the iast moment, Austri @o holding out against the plan. Both these countries desired that in case of revolution in Spain troops should be seat to quell the disturban- ces, These stories have been in cir culation all the week, and particular. im Downing street. .

Washington, D. C., May 9,—The igreatest surprise was expressed in joaval circles over the lack of details in the Dewey report. Everybody -was anxious to know the exact situ Mion of the American squadron, A rey was told by an officer who w the dispatches that Dewey want- jed more men.

Washington, May 9—At the em- bassies and legations, Commodore Dewey's reports were read with great interest, and served to renew the high tributes of the foreign authorities to gallant American commander, The remarkable disparity between the casualties on the American and Span- ish ships, as shown by the Dewey re- ports, was a source of special com- ment, and the military attache at one of the embassies, said such a dispar- ity probably was without a parallel in history.
