LOOKS LIKE YIELDING
MADRID, April 5.-This has been an
other day of conferences cabinet minis
tiers and ambassadors flying back and
forth, and many of them, including the
British Charge d'Affaires, calling at the
United States Legation.
At this hour there seems to be every
indication of the United States securing
what she asked for at last weeks con-
ference, and which. in spite Of the counter
proposals. have been the sole basis Tor
American negotiations.
Senior Sagasta, on leaving the palace,
after an audience with the Queen Regent,
announced to the newspaper representa-
tives that the rumors of cabinet dissensions
in regard to the crisis were absolutely I'M
founded.
Senior Sagasta added that no cabinet
council will be necessary today. unless
fresh information came to hand from Rome
or Washington, the Spanish government
today having received no dispatches except
the telegram from the Spanish Minister at
Washington, giving the tone Of the Am
erican public opinion and diplomatic ru-
mors

ject of the conference is not known.

SHIPS WOULD NOT SAIL
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The statement
was made today by a public man in close
touch with the administration that the ef-
fort to secure settlement of the war be-
| tween Spain and the insurgents through
| an armistice had come to a definite con-
clusion and that the failure was due to the
refusal of the government of the United
States TO remove its fleet from Key West
| According to this statement, Spain made
removal condition precedent to her Of
| fering an armistice with the end in view
| Of granting the independence of Cuba and
| this proposition was met with refusal
| though not until after it had been seriously
considered. The Congressional opponents
of war policy who had counted upon the
acceptance Of this condition by the United
States admit that the outlook for peace has
grown almost hopeless since this deter
mination.
ACTION WITHOUT DEBATE
| WASHINGTON, March SIT is gener.
| ally understood at the Capitol that the
President will recommend armed inter-
venton, but not the independence Of Cuba
| The sentiment among the Republican
| members of the House is strongly in favor
| of this intervention and the recognition oil
Cuban independence, and that the Maine
affair be brought in prominently in the
| resolutions. Some of the extremists wan
the whole action of the United States pre-.
dictated upon the blowing up of the Maine
| There is a general desire among the House
Republicans to prevent a divergence in
| two sets of resolutions, If possible, and II
absolute unity of action can be obtain ed
a movement will be started to have the
resolutions passed in the House without
debate.

FOR CONCENTRATING TROOPS
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The War De-
partment and the Generals of the Army
are considering the question of utilizing
the eleven square miles which the govern
ment owns at the Chickamauga Military
Park as the point for concentrating troops
| in the South for organization and instruc-
ton and also as the location of such re-
serves as may be needed for the Gulf and
South Atlantic Notifications from New Or
leans to Charleston. Such portions Of the
reserve as might be needed could reach
any of these Notifications in twelve hours
from Chickamauga. When not needed
they will be in more healthful quarters
than on the coast in hot weather.
