MADRID, April 13.-Spain welcomes
war. An important cabinet meeting
was held last night at which Presi-
dent McKinley's me- ssage was read.
After a long discussion the cabinet
this morning declared as follows:
This cou'cil is of the opinion that
the strange meddling attitude ex-
pressed in President Mckinley s
message is incompatible with the
sovereignty and rights of the
Spanish patton. These rights
admit of no Interference with Spain S
affairs by any other nation. The coun-
Gil row deems it inexpedieDt to make
ary further declarations, except to
express in the most solem q
manner its unaltera BILE determi nation
to uphold the rights of the nation un-
til the American congress or President
Mckinley takes definite steps to en-
force the doctrine expressed in bis
message. The government awaits
further developments with calmness
and will defend with energy the sacred
interests of Spain by the patriotism of
the Spanish race"
