cents Of the Spanish note. in reply TO the

violations OF the neutrality law.
Replying to the offer OF mediation made
by the United States, Spain says she hopes

rectly in helping Spain 10 paclfy Cuba,

sagents cannot be expected unless they

Special advices received here from Ma
drid say that the recent magazine article
of Hannis Taylor. the former minister Of
the United States at Madrid, on Cuban
affairs. has produced an unpleasant feel
ing at the Spanish capital. and il is added
that the belief prevails there that the gov
eminent viii be compelled TO intervene in
this affair.
The impartial says: 1T is very strange
that the Three Friends should leave the
United States engaged in lawful trade,
and yet have a government official aboard
as a guaranty of the legality of her voy-
age. IL may be trick of the United States
government 10 incite Spain to exercise the
right OF search. which Is always likely 10
bring about diplomatic complications
