with the United States is imminent de-
clare Havana is impregnable.

AS to the food supply, for which no ap-

NO SPLIT IN THE CABINET.
Secretary AIser Declares RumOr of
DissensiOn Untrue.

-
Washington, March 29.-At the close Of
the cabinet meeting to-day Secretary AL
ger gave out the following statement: 80
far from there being any difference of
opinion among the members of the cabi-
net, they are all in hearty accord with
the President, and have been, without a
single exception. When he read to them
yesterday his message on the Maine there
was not a dissenting voice nor suggas-
tlon of change. 1t commanded the approx
al of every member. How could the Pres
ident have said more? He gave Congress
the report at once and stated that he had
forwarded it to Spain, and is awaiting her
reply.
''He must take one step at time. 1t
NAV be said further that there need be no
fear that he will not take the step. He
has not lost a moment in presenting rot
only the Maine incident, but the whole
situation, to Spain. The country can well
afford to await the result of the negotia-
tons, which will be promptly made known,
whatever the result.

MADRID LOOKS FOR PEACE.
Minister WOOdford Leaves IA Confer
ence Well Satisfied.

Madrid, March 29.-The semi-oficial El
Liberal says: ''The report on the Maine
contains no grave statement. Therefore
President Mckinley will not use that pc
text for declaring war, but will use the
relief of the Cubans"
Ell Liberal adds: I'VE believe the Span
ish government will never tolerate a for
eign nation, in the gulse of philanthropy,
invading our territory. for it would be fol-
lowed by the unanimous protest of the
Spanish people"
The same paper then couusels Spain 10
prepare to repel any kind of intervention
to be uneompromising and to accept moth
ing affecting the dignity of the sover-
elgnty of SPAIN
Beyond the fact that a few policemen
and a couple of civil guards stand outside
the American legation, there is absolutely
no sign in Madrid of the tension between
Spain and America. So far as the general
public is concerned, the matter is little
discussed, even the press being to-day
generally hopeful of a peaceful settlement.
The note United States Minister Wood
ford presented is practically a repetition
of the one presented in September, which,
in the interests of humanity, asked Spain
for an immediate cessation of hostilitieS in
Cuba. Upon Spain's reply to this matter
hinges the conference held at the presl-
dency this afternoon, at which Senior Sa-
gasta the premier; Senor Gullon, the for
eign minister; Senor Moret, the minister
for the colonies, and Minister Woodford
We're present, and at which it has been
hoped decision would be reached.
Gen. Woodford's conference was of an
hours duration and the ministers contin-
ued in deliberation after the United min
lister withdrew,
In the course of an interview after the
! conference, Senor Sagasta said to the
correspondent of the Associated Press that
| United States Minister Woodford at the
conference asserted that he desired to eX-
press the wishes of his government on
| the subject of the situation in Cuba and
| of the reconcentrados. Senor Sagasta
| added that the conference decided some
of these points, and that he had promised
| to study Gen. Woodford's propositions anc
| to submit them to the Queen Regent and
then to a cabinet council considering then
| from every point of view in order that the
| cabinet might take action thereon.
| Senior Sagasta authorized the Associated
| Press correspondent 10 deny any other yer
| sion of the conference as untrue.
The conference adjourned to o'clocl
Thursday afternoon. United States Min
lister Woodford seemed pleased with tn
result and every indication points to set
| tlement.

also passenger on the Bache. 1t Is be-

talk of an anti-American demonstration
and riot continues.

fore the medical examining board IL leaked
out to-day, was ordered by the navy de-

point-blank to have the board OF
retirement appointed, indicated Its
composition and ordered him 20 appear be-
fore it.

ed here two weeks ago, still lie In the navy

General Dlanco'. Discouraxement..

General Blanco is undoubtedly a dsap-
pointment in Havana. But what more nat
ural than that he should be? Succeeding
General Weyler, who was full of energy
and fixed purpose General Blanco must
appear to be irresolute, incapable to lack
grasp, in comparison. Evidently, those
Spaniards in the Cuban capital who want
work done. and work that tells. have little
confidence in this commander whose mis-
sion toward the insurgents is so strange a
mixture OF threats and cajolery. Doubtless
he seems but a wooden man to them
But how may a man be reasonably ex-
pectej to appear at his best in the circum-
must see that he Is a mere pawn in the
Spanish game. II he considers the case of
his predecessor he must lose heart at once.
General Weyler carried out his instructions
to the letter He butchered and burned
over a wide space Of territory. and his
atrocities were all approved by the Madrid
authorities. But his faithfulness to his
sLreriors did not save him when a change
in the situation demanded a victim for
Spanish failure. General Weyler was Sc
lected. and is now back in Spain meditat-
ing on the ungratefulness of the Sagasta
ministry.
General Blanco. with instructions differ
ing very widely from those of General
Weyler. finds himself beset on every hand
with difficulties. The insurgents spurn his
offers. The Spaniards deride his policy.
