URGES SPAIN TO PEACE. Lading Newspaper Gires Good Advies to lts Readers. New York, July 12.- A copy of El Imparcial issued June 26, has been received here from Madrid. Discussing the probabillty of peace negotiations, El Imparcial says: "What will be the opportune moment for peace? The very moment when the army and the people become convinced that there is no other remedy but to sue for it. Before that the army would consider itself humiliated and the people betrayed.
