President to Go Slow.
Washington, April 19.-"The ultimatum,"
said one member of the cabinet after the
meeting to-day "has been agreed upon in
substance, but has not yet been formally
drawn up. Its preparation has been en-
trusted to Assistant Secretary Day of the
state department. 1t will be sent to Spain
tomorrow and will reach Madrid in the
evening the difference in time between
this country and Spain being about six
hours.
'I think you are safe in saying that
Spain will be given forty-eight hours, that
is. until Friday evening. to submit her re-
ply.
"In accordance with the terms of the
resolution the President will demand that
Spain shall evacuate the island.
"The demand for this will be fat-footed
and absolute, and no tentative or half
way reply will satisfy the President.
Nor win any compromise that contem-
plates the withdrawal of Spaln's troops
from the island, and the subsequent re-es-
tablishment of control or the raising of
the Spanish flag over the country be ae-
cepted by the administration.
POSSIBLY it may be that a suggestion
that the matter has been referred to the
Cortes which meets tomorrow for Its con-
sideration may be Instrumental in post

sAGAsTA TO HIS FOLLOWERS.
ProvoI<es Applause by His Patriotic
ITtterances

Madrid, via Paris, April l9.-The sup
porters of the government in both houses
of parliament met in The Senate chamber
at O'Clock this afternoon.
Senior sagasta, the premier addressed
them as follows: "Fhe times are so grave
and the circumstances are so exceptional
that acts and moi words are necessary TO
face the present difficulty.
ATTEMPTS are being made to sully the
glorious history of Spain by an infamous
calumny.
"The different Spanish governments have
done their utmost TO avert the war to
which we are being provoked. We have
now reached the limits OF concession.
compatible with honor and territorial in
tegrity. We consented 10 the last conces-
sion at the instance of the Pope and the
powers.
1--WE yield. in fact; but now attempts are
made upon our honor and menaces directed
against our territory. That Is a thing 10
which spaniards win never consent. (Ap-
plause)
This Is not the moment to trace a par-
liamentary programme, but the moment to
unite ourselves, as our fathers have done
in the face OF an odious attempt against
che integrity of our territory. The insult
offered US to-day Is the most Infamous

Speech Of the Queen Will Accord
With Public Sentiment.
CONFERRING WITH CUBANS.
Negotiations for a Basis Of Peace
in Progress.

Madrid, April 10. 11:SO p. m.-The gen.
eral belief here is that the joint resolu-
ton of Congress makes war between
Spain and the United States inevitable.
The premier. Senior Sagasta, had long
conference with the Queen Regent this
morning.
An official note issued this afternoon
says negotiations are actively proceeding
between the colonial government of Cuba
and the insurgents of that island, with the
view Of obtaining the submission of the
latter as a result of further concessions
regarding autonomy.
The terms of the speech which the
queen Regent will deliver at the opening
of the Cortes tomorrow are jealously
guarded. but it is said that the speech will
prove firm; convincing and satisfactory to
the national sentiments.
1t is claimed here that perfect unanlmi-
ty prevails in Spain to face war rather
than yield to the demands of the United
States.
| On the receipt of a dispatch from the
Spanish minister at Washington, Senior
Polo Bernabe, giving the result of yes
terday's voting in Congress, the minister
for foreign affairs, senor Gullon, forward
ed to all the Spanish ambassadors a mem
orandum to submit to the foreign govern
ments, setting forth the grievances of
Spain, showing all Spain has done to avoid
war and saying the responsibility for war
rests entirely upon the United States.
The one absorbing topic is the prospect
of war FL Heraldo de Madrid says that
war is inevitable, and even imminent.
Even the forthcoming meeting Of Parlla-
ment is unheeded.
Ell Heraldo compares the indifference of
the mass of the people to ''Mussulman
fatality" considering it highly dangerous
and fearing a terrible reaction.
The paper says a serious task lies before
Parliament, which it hopes will prove
equal to facing the great dangers now
gathering around Spain"
This evening the parties constituting the
Cortes held their preliminary meetings.
Senor Silvela presided over the meeting
of the Conservative minority. In the course
of his remarks he advised all conserva-
tives TO support the government. The Re-
publican party has sent message to Sc
nor Emelo CasteHin appealing to his pa
triotism to take part in the parliamentary
campaign The communication points out
that during the present situation it is the
duty of Republicans to maintain an ex-
pectant attitude toward the monarchy, but
at the same time to stand ready to make
sacrifices demanded by patriotism in the
face of a powerful enemy for the defense
of Spanish sovereignty over Cuba, the
preservation of which is demanded by the
history, security and rights Of Spain"
Tonight the lobbies of Parliament were
crowded with members, new deputies ana
politicians, all discussing the situation
The one predominating word is war.
1t is rumored in town this evening that
Gen. Woodford would leave tomorrow.
but he has authorized a formal denial of
the report.

velopments.

ed by the President, subject to an exam
ination as to fitness and capacity, TO be Of
fcers of corresponding grades in the same
organization when it is received in the
service as a part of the volunteer army.

longing to the regular volunteer army. or
