Madrid, Dec. S.-Tha Premier Sehor Sagasta'

says:
1T shows a certain cleverness ana eVh IN
tention when it refers to 1libusterng expeui-
tons Mckinley speaks with what appears 10
be excessive cynicism TO those who nave not
lost all notion Of Justice The Government must
show the Yankees that the Spanish nag hoa''
over Cuba and that they have yet to tear 1t
down"
In conclusion. the "Imparciar remarks:
THE manufacture and sale OF arms IS not the
same thing as using them
"El Liberal also commenting on the f'e''
dents Message, says:
1T IS more favorable to Spain than Presiaeh'
Clevcland's because It recognizes SPANS intsn-
ton enthusiastically to labor TO re-estap''S"
