The situation Wednesday Night.

LONDON, April IA dispatch from Mad
rid, via Bayonne, France, which was sent
last evening before the Cabinet council, and
when, apparently, General Woodford the
other diplomates and the palace fully be-
lieved a settlement OF the Cuban crisis had
at last been arrived at and would be ac-
cepted by the Cabinet says: This has
been an exciting day in political circles.
The Queen Regent appears to have gained
the day over the bellicose section of the
Cabinet, and has agreed to a settlement
which those who have advised her admit
will mean the ultimate freedom of Cuba or
government satisfactory to the insurgents
No one who has not heard The inside his
tory of the negotiations can realize the diff
hculties and eVasions General Woodford has
had to contend with. 1t was 4 a. m. when
the general received the telegram from
President Mckinley approving the plan of
settlement, and after an interview with the
Austrian ambassador Count Deym, who
was acting as the Queens intermediary, the
last obstacle was apparently removed and
the publication of the proclamation on Fri
day was regarded as a certainty Then
came the news of violent discussions in the
cabinet, but it was followed by a positive
statement from the palace circles that the
queen had taken the bit in her teeth and
was prepared to change the Ministry if nee
essary. After that came the announcement
that the dissensions were healed that the
Cabinet was intact and that the settlement
would be carried al to-nights council Pub
lie feeling, as expressed in the cafes and
streets, was very violent against the armis-
tfce. We are betrayed and denunciations
OF the Pope and Queen Regent were on ev-
cry tongue This flag was evidently foment-
ed by the military party, and a large batch
OF promotions and decorations for the army
and navy is announced, when adds to their
zeal. The Spanish nonofficial press has had
the war fever for the last few days, and it
would be difficult to cause it to back down."

services rendered by the National Guard
should the time come to call for troops. and
II is altogether gratifying to hear that the
authorities propose to recognize industry
and merit at the outset. This country has
military affairs; the mathematician cannot
compute the blood and treasures that have
been wasted in the course of our history
by the placing in the field OF unframed sol
diers. The National Guard and its reserve
would be in good condition for active serv-
ice within very short peri0d-possibly two
or three weeks of encampment would he

need six months of instruction before they
would be ready TO do duty at the front
What the would-be volunteers ought to
do is to Immediately achieve membership
in the National Guard: through which-say

to the palace" 1t is explained that the de-
cisions TO which the Spanish government
adneres as announeed IN the Seml-o c.
note refer TO those outlined at the last con-
ference between General Woodford and the
Spanish ministers.
After the Cabinet meeting and the
issue of the semi-offieial note. which
regarded as a serious announcement,
there was much excitement and beliicose
talk in the city. The cafes were crowded
with people. all eagerly discussing the sit
uation and generally approving the attitude
of the Cabinet a general rumor was cur
rent that the United States government
had presented an ultimatum To the govern
ment OF Spain. demanding that the latter,
within six hours. should modify the note
This rumor was in no way confirmed by
those who are acquainted with the facts
in the case, but ii found credence through
out Madrid. The military papers to-day are
very violent in their utterances against the
United States.
Noon-The guards around the United
States legation were trebled to-day. Gen
Wocdford was at his desk at an early hour,
and many Americans called TO ask about
the arrangements made for their protection.
The general said he would remain here UNI
Ill directed to apply for his passports: or
until they are handed to him. He added
that when he leaves the British flag will
he hoisted over the United States legation.
In spite of the alarming situation. it is the
general belief that the end is about reached,
several of the diplomats still hoping for
peace. The city thus far is perfectly quiet
2:S0 D. NIT is asserted here that the
communication from Rome. which the papal
nuncio and the minister for foreign affairs
placed before the Cabinet after the regular
meeting had adjourned last night, asked
what concessions Spain would make. The
Cabinet, il is further stated decided to re-
ply that the government simply reaffirmed
its former decisions already known to
President Mckinley. AS previously init
mated in these dispatches, there is no truth
in the rumor current last night in Madrid
that the United States government had pre-
Sented an ultimatum to the government of
Spain demanding that the latter modify
within six hours the Eote presented after
the last conference.

Comments Of a. Diplomatic and Opin-
ions of Editors.

LONDON, April S.-The Daily News pub
fishes this morning an interview with an
american diplomat permanently in Eng
land in a high official position who is
represented as having said: 1.-THE situation
as to Cuba is more strained than ever. The
idea that the delay of Mr.. McKinleys mes
sage to Congress is a peaceful indication
is quite erroneous. No doubt General Wood
ford is making a final attempt to impress
Spain with the necessity of yielding, and
Austria is using every effort and giving
good advice to Spain, but seemingly all eff
forts are unsuccessful Personally, the
Queen Regent is greatly respected in the
United States Every American regrets the
position her government has placed her in.
but nothing can prevent a catastrophe UNI
less Spain gives up her unfortunate atti-
tude."
The morning paper editorials on the Gu
pan situation are all pesSimistc at the
nest only hoping that the delay until Mon
day will enable some peaceful influence to
work The Times cannot see how a con-
flict can be avoided.
The Daily News points out that in both
America and Spain 1t Is the people and not
the rulers who desire war.
The special dispatches from the continent
to the morning papers likewise record the
same feeling of hopelessness of avoiding a
conflict Austrian Minister Hengelmuller
Won Hengervar has cabled from Washing
ton to the Vienna government in a very
urfavorable tone
According to a dispatch from Gibraltar to
the Daily Telegraph, Spain has contracted
with certain firms for quantity of English
cCal Tor her fleet at Cadiz at the fabulous
price of forty-five shillings ton, owing to
the Welsh strike.
A dispatch from Berlin says the Lokal
Anzieger publishes a conversation with a
director of the Hamburg-American steam
snip line, who expressed Il belief that his
country would reap large profits If war
broke out. He said he expected that Ger
man vessels would get possession of the
bulk of the carrying trade now in the hands
of Americans, whose ships would be ex-
posed to the danger of capture

INTERCHANGEABLE HObert PrOssel.,
Who Fired at the Officers.

dispatch from Mitchell, Ind, tells of
the arrest there of Hobert Prosser. thir-
teen-year-old terror, who is wanted in this
city on charge of grand larceny. The lad
was staying in this city about ten days
ago with friend of his fathers family
living in West Indianapolis One day when
the family was away from home, the house
was broken into and two watches and a
revolver were stolen. The boy disappeared
at the same time. His home Is in Mitchell
and he turned up there few days after his
disappearance from this city, but, it seems,
no effort was made to arrest him for the
offense committed here, although the
authorities at Mitchell were notified to ar
rest him.
A few nights ago a car on the B: & Q.
S.-W. Railroad at Mitchell was broken
open, and several pairs of shoes were stolen.
The marshal traced the crime to young
Prosser, and, with deputy, went to ar
rest the youthful criminal. The boy saw
them coming and fed. The pursuit was
hot one and the lad emptied the contents
of a revolver in the direction of the officers,
narrowly missing the marShalS head He
was finally captured, and two revolvers
were found in his possession. His father
is said to be highly respected citizen. He
gave bond for his sons release. 1t is said
