Madrid Thinks War with This Country 10
Coming.

MADRID. May 2O.-EL Liberal says that Presi-
dent McKinley's new Cuban policy is due to
the statement of the situation presented to
him by merchants and bankers of New York.
In an editorial the Heraldo says: New York
advices have created a feeling OF alarm here.
Tho nation had been told that an international
conflict had been averted by Premier Canovas's
skilful diplomacy. Senior Jimenez dc Sandoval's
visit to Washington was believed here TO DO the
beginning of a new era in our relations with the
United States.
But all has been in vain. The American
Government has not prosecuted the Cuban
Junta. The documents taken to Washington
by Sandoval have been as useless as those which
our Minister to tho United States collected as
evidence against the flibusters.
"Our hopes having thus been blasted, a now
provocation is now offered, one which Premier
Cahovas may affect to ignore, but which has
already produced its effect in Europe and the
United States. Days OF misfortune for our coun-
try arc approaching.
"If the United States Government proposed
only to provide for a few dozen of genuine
American citizens we would certainly protest
against such humiliation; but II the measure is
merely a pretext to take food to the insurgents
In arms-for such are tho false American ell
zens for whom the relief Is intended-we would
not fulfil our duties as patriots should we fail TO
fright or wrong, Gen. Weyler had q plan
which consisted in driving the rebellion to death
through consumption. II is true that the isl
and's wealth would BIO destroyed, but the insur.
gents would at last lack all means of fighting.
20 what the United States aims at is TO rescue
our enemies from their critical situation. Pre-.
mier Canovas gives his consent, and the Minis
terial press tries 10 minimize the matter.
The American Government is In fact organ
izing aid for the Cuban rebellion, Our Govern
ment, in effect, consents that relief be taken to
a besieged town which the enemy can no longer
defena. Our army must witness tho shameful
spectacle OF American provisions on tho way
10 the insurgent camps, where American citi-
Zens are said To be starving.
SHOULD any. OF our authorities place the
slightest obstacle in the way OF the Americans
the consequences of his action may be inferred
when NO REMAINDER the doplorable precedent OF
the AllianCa."
