Spain viii Probably Listen to Friendly
Advice from Uncle Sam.
MADRID, April 13.-The leaders of the
two greatest political parties in Spain
declare that if the United States will
approach the Spanish government in a
friendly spirit and ask exactly what
conditions of autonomy the Spanish
government will grant to Cuba, before
the former government recognizes the
insurgents on the Island as belligerents
the Spanish will meet such overtures
half way.
LONDON, April IA dispatch from
Madrid to the Pail Mall Gazette, pub
lished this afternoon says; "Senor Ca
nOvas del Castillo, the Spanish premier,
is Ill and cannot be interviewed. His
relatives, however, confirm the exist
ence of of 'communique' from Presi-
dent Cleveland. But, in the present
state of public feeling, it will be i'm
possible for the government to accept
MS offer. Matters are very complicated
and, while the government will do
everything in its power to avoid quar-
rel with the United States, it will pre-
fer to fight rather than lose Cuba
through foreign pressure"
