ready to bow to all the American de-
mands, is strong enough to contend
with the rising storm Of Spanish pride,
or the half-veiled menaces of the army

f1ict IS expected to be reached through
Spain resenting the action Of America
and by congress declaring that q state

The hide-bound, anti-freedom doctri-
naries, who are pretending to censure
congress and President Mckinley, are
received with open expressions Of veX-
alton and even disgust. The opinion Of
the great majority Of Englishmen is
that the United States is 1ndisputably
right, and that she Is only pursuing a
course identical with Great Britain's
historical policy in putting an end to
the appalling misgovernment of Spain,
which Is wholly in the wrong, and they
point out that England, in a similar
position, would have been as equally
infamed by humane emotions as Amer
lea Is at present.
This feeling was exempli1ed at the
liberal banquet at Plymouth yesterday
evening, when Mr.. William Alexander
Macarthur, M. P, former lord of the
treasury, was heartily cl1eered when he
said: II do not think England has any
right to throw stones at congress. Eng
lishmen should only applaud the noble
Indignation of America at the horrors
daily presented during the last two

him to head little army of invasion

Moderate and sensible Spaniards here
have discouraged these absurd notions

ST. PETERSBURG, April 16.-The
diplomatic body, discussing together,
and with Russian statesmen, the desir-
ability of second friendly peace repre-
sentation to the United States, have
agreed, strongly desiring that a last
effort be made to avert war. 1t is be-
lieved such a step is about to be taken.
LONDON, April 16.-The members Of
the diplomatic corps in this city have
now abandoned all hope of effectual

delusion that they will avert war.

sailors of Spain and Austria made no

which Spain can be induced to offer
real concessions, which they think the
United States would accept, providing
Great Britain can be persuaded to

pressure to bear upon Spain. They
realize that without Great Britain's CO.
operation nothing can be accomplished,
AND 1t appears to be most doubtful,
that Great Britain will participate in
such a concert.
On the other hand, it is certain Great
Britain will maintain the policy which
she has steadily adhered to, that Of
