OUR RELATION WITH SPAIN.
Fear That They May BE Strained to the
Limit -Woodford's "Ultimatum."

Limit -WOodfOrd's "Uhimatum."
Washington, Oct. S.-The state depart
ment has not yet been officially informed
of the purpose Of the Spanish govern
ment to dissolve the cOrtes in December,
as indicated in Madrid cablegrams. 1t
was expected, however, that it would be
found necessary for the cabinet to go to
the country in order to secure the sup
port of a ma jority for the Liberal policy
towards Cuba, inasmuch as the present
cortes has a clear Conservative majority
whenever that party's elements can be
brought together Disappointment is
felt at the remote date set for the con-
vening of the new cortes, for it is pre-
sumed that any new programme for the
settlement Of Cuban affairs must be rat
ified by the cortes, and if this is not to
meet until next March the long delay, ii
is feared VIII give rise to irritation. and
perhaps be beyond the powers of endur-
ance of the present administration 1t is
possible, however, that by prompt dec
laration of policy towards Cuba, couched
in such terms and made public in such
fashion as to bind the government be-
yond doubt the delay will not be serious
in results.
A cable from Madrid says: "It is semi
officially announced that the note which
General Stewart l.. Woodford the Unit
ed States minister, communicated to the
Duke of Tetuan, the Spanish minister
for foreign affairs. Is no more an ulti-
matum than ii is a comminatory docu-
ment. In spirit and texually il is
couched in friendly terms. The cabinet
at Washington expresses wish to know
when Cuba can be pacified. and requests
Spain to reply before Oct 30 in order
that President Mckinley may be able to
incorporate Spain's answer in his mes
sage to congress. Premier Sagasta, in
agreement with Senor Gullon, the minis
ter for foreign affairs. proposes to send
a moderate reply declaring the policy of
Spain Is to await events and TO take such
measures as consideration and prudence
dictate until the change of policy in
Cuba smoothes the relations between the
two governments. The answer of Spain
twill not be drawn up until the pro-
lgramme for the reforms in Cuba has
)becn published"
Another cable from Madrid SAYS: "a
J cal binet council at which the queen re-
gent presided was held yesterday. When
the ministers separated the premier. Sc
nor Sagasta, announced TO the newspa-
per men that no final decision had been
taken In regard TO the reply
which Spain will make to the
note OF the United States handed
to the Duke Of Tetuan when he was
minister for foreign affairs by the Unit
ed States minister, General Stewart L.
Woodford, The impartial, however,
says il learns that the reply OF Spain will
satisfy Spanish susceptibilities in max
ing clear TO President Mckinley the res
olute attitude which Spain maintains in
regard to Cuba" A remark made by
Sagasta to a newspaper correspondent
may make the Spanish feeling clearer.
