SPAIN is PLEASED.
All Government and Diplomatic Cir
cles Jubilant Over the Message.

All Government and Diplomatic Cir
Giles Jubilant Over the Message.
New York, Dec. S.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says: The
first news received in Madrid concern
ing President McKinley's message
came in a telegram from the states
department from Minister Woodford,
who Immediately sent it to the minis
ter for the colonies, Senior Moret.
Senior Moret was at a banquet
which his friends had offered him as
a compliment for his colonial policy.
He translated the telegram aloud and
all present expressed much satisfac
ton with the presidents declarations
touching on Spain and Cuba.
Minister Woodford was not pres
ent, having engaged to dine at the
Austrian embassy with Inc other am
bassadOrs.
During the night the press agencies
and the principal newspapers slowly
received the news.
FL impartial published a cablegram
of 1000 words, giving the whole text
of that portion of the message refer
ring to Spain.
| lue lTleuullueSS Vi Tie UltSSdSt sur
prised the most sanguine expectations
| of the friends of the government.
There is loud praise for President Nc
Kinley in official circles, for having,
as they say, thus cleared the way for
fair trail of the new colonial policy
i'm the West Indies, which will natur-
ally require time.
| Meanwhile the Liberal government
can unhesitatingly dissolve the old
| Cortes, call general election for the
| first week in February and convoke
a new parliament in March. The
Spanish Liberals are particularly
| pleased with the presidents argu-
| ments against recognition of the bel
| ligerency of the Cubans and the i'm
| plicit reputation of recognition of
belligerency, annexation of the island
| or extreme interference with the
rights of Spain in Cuba.
| They are enthusiastically delighted
with that part of the message recog-
nizing how quickly and completely
they had reversed the Canovas-W eyler
policy and the sincerity Of their own
home rule measures.
Outside of official circles satisfac-
1
and also the general public.
Among statesmen the most pleased
is CASTELAR,, who compares the con-
duct OF Mckinley with that of Grant
and says that he believes firmly that
oil the sane and respectable elements
of the American commonwealth will
follow suit.
The papers representing all the OPP
position parties will open fire on the
message.
But on the whole the prevalent i'm
preston of the majority is that the re-
lations between Spain and the United
States will be much improved and no
where is the impression so strong as
in diplomatic circles.
| United States Minister Woodford,
premier Sagasta and Colonial Minis
ter Moret have been warmly congrat-
ulated by the foreign representatives
here.

UNION PACIFIC SALE.
British Bondholders Regard it as In
validated.

ValldateQ.
New York, Dec. S.-The following
telegram has ben sent to the attorney
general at Washington by Robinson &
Leslie, a firm of London accountants,
acting for group Of holders of Union
Pacific reorganization committees GER
tificates for Union Pacific stockhold-
ers:
1--WE notify the government that the
committees bid involves a departure
from the terms of its trust under the
trust agreement declared January 20,
pursuant 10 which stockholders paid
nearly 100000 The committee was
not permitted to issue more than ST.
100000 in bonds for the purchase of
both the Union and Kansas Pacific.
Under the bid for Union Pacific alone
that purchasing issue is practically
consumed, thus violating the trust to
the stockholders. This substantial de-
Walton from the conditions of the pur
chasing trust invalidates the sale.
Therefore, the government is notified
to hold the moneys received or receiv-
able as trustee, under the committees
trust and not as the property of the
government"
This notice with the accompanying
document, has been lodged with the
United States consul general in Lon
don.

"The commit believes that similar
committees in the future should be en-
powered to compel an unwilling witness
to testify. 1t is, therefore, recommended
that o law similar to the Federal law on
the subject be passed at the next session
Of the Legislature.
"The commit believes that the fail
ure OF the lat) Legislature to pass certain
laws demanded by the people was due to
improper infuenc welded by corpora.
tions and lobbyists, amounting TO out
right purchase in some cases, and that
the necessity for such laws is as urgent
as ever. 1t is therefore recommended
that the Legislature be called in extra
session that the will of the people be
crystallized into law.
