CAsTELAR's MOOD IS FIERY
Senator Morgan Speaks of the
Motives That Caused 1t.
SPANS PRECIOUS COUPLE
The Other Is Canovas, Who Is En-
gagged in Watching the One-Time
President of the Spanish Republic.
Castelar, Has Put His Foot Down
On Olney.

Speaking of the dispatches from Spain
and, particularly the purported authorized
statements of Canovas, tile present prime
minister, and CASTELAR,, the cx-president OF
the Spanish republic, Senator Morgan, Of
Alabama, formerly chairman Of The com
mittee on foreign relations, said yesterday
that he Thought he was easily able To
detect the motives that inspired CASTELAR,
TO speak with so much warmth.
Predicating his observations upon The MS
tory of the previous inSurrection which re-
suited in the establishment OF the Spanish
republic and the elevation OF CASTELAR, to
the presidency, Senator Morgan dictated
the following statement:
Castelar, is in quite a feTocious mood, If
the newspaper accounts are true. He could
not trust the correspondent with his eX-
ploSive utteranceS, and was compelled to
cool his wrath by the more deiibera.e
act Of writing. He seems TO be affected
with the same desperate desire for the
liberty of all Spaniards, except the CubanS,
that caused HIM 20 take advantage of the
former Insurrection in the island TO create
a republic in the peninsula.
"Canovas seems to be much more con-
seryative in his utterances than CASTELAR,
He is enga ged in the double task OF watch
ing the Cubans and Castelar,. Both parties
in Spain are excited with a great acces-
sion Of patriotic afflatus, and are trying
10 arouse native Indignation against the
Cuban appeal to the world for Humanity
in their government.
Spain Appreciates Olney.
Spain continued Mr.. Morgan, zap
preciatesthe compliment of Mr.. olney when
he compares Spanish methods of warfare
i'm Cuba with tho Sc of the Spanish Amcri-
can republics, to the advantage of Spain
Spain harmless gasconade which
our rulers copy from that country and
exploit IN warnings and threats against
the aggresSor when our people are out
ragged, imprisoned and butcherod under
the accusation of insurrcction, whether
;hey are taking part or are neutral, in Ii
open public war in which more than 3CO,-
eco soldiers are arrayed in LoStilc armies.
Both parties III 81 ain are pleased with
our Presidents pacific temper under these
slight prov ocations We are left 10 enjoy
the 10, on of peace and safety, by both
parties IN Spain, so long as the President
can be relied upon TO hold Congress in
the leash.
=. The glur.o ous constitution of the United
States borrowed from Germany says
Castelar,, has given splendid results. For
one thing il has assured US from the recog
milton OF belligercnCy or independence of
republic that has 30 existence and is shield
ing us from the craZiest OF resolutions
which can only have the inevitable effect
OF bringing On war
''As there is in his opinion, and in that
of the President said Mr.. Morgan, "only
an 'insurrectiun' in Cuba, they are both
opposed to war, because its effects viii
be the suppression Of the most criminal
and bloody strife in Cuba that has dis
graced the annals of the nineteenth cen
tury, if the Presidents story of that
.insur rection' is To be credited as he
states in his message 10 Congress
The One Exception.
THE entente cordiale that evidently
exists between the crowned and the un
crowned heads that decree Cuban eXter-
mnatcH seems To bc perfect, except in
one essential particular. They must now
arrange for d new date at which the
efTortof Spain TO destroy Cuba shall cease,
and Spain will take the initiative in sug
yeSting the mediation Of The United States.
Castelar, will have no Intervention by
the United States, said Mr.. Morgan in
conclusion. He says liberal govern
ment Ike ours cannot learn from out SIdcrs
its faults in governing the Antilles or
submit to mediator This rude inter
ruption Of the plan of Olney and Canovas
may decide our President to prefer a
republic in Cuba TO a restoration of tie
republic OF the former revolution in Spain.
CASTELAR, : holy wrath at the Cleveland
and Canovas combination, concealed be-
meath has Observation-Disclosures toward the
jingoes who advocated war may force
compatriots To dissolve their alliance to
bring peace to Cuba, along with slavery,
after death has cleared the Cuban noun
tains and forests of brave men who love
liberty. CASTELAR, mask Will not a second
time deceive Canovas, and the executions
at Rarce1na and the maSsacres in tn,
PHILIPPINES Will proceed with due regu-
larity.
castelar, has detected our play in Span
ish iurrigues ami has put his foot down on
Mr.. Olrey.''
Here, Mr.. Morgan's expire SscG opinions on
the SUI iect matter ended.
