"Yields to Congress"

Madrid, April 1.-THE queen has
consented to the advanced meeting OF
the cortes from April % to April 20.
D. m.-The preamble of the sum-
mons for the convocation of the cortes.
to be published in tomorrow's oficlai
Gazette, assumes a very determined
tone in justifying the convocation. Sc
nor Sagasta, on leaving the palace,
said that SeIOr Gullon, the minister OF
foreign affairs, would report to the Eu-
ropean powers the attitude assumed by
the United States.
$40 p. mater the cabinet council,
the ministers reassembled at the MIN
istry for foreign affairs, and there dis
cussed the question of sending a note
to the great powers, communicating
the decisions arrived at during the
days cabinet meeting.
DEFENSE, NOT DEFIANCE. -
After the cabinet meeting one of the
ministers told the correspondent or the
Associated Press that the government
continues to maintain the same firm
attitude of defense, not defiance.
Monseignor NaVa the papal nuncio,
called at the palace after the cabinet
meeting and gave good hopes of peace
being preserved.
Ell Impartial says: THE government
must not leave it to Don Carlos to take
the lead in patriotism. His manifesto
is a strong document, but we suggest,
however, that he contribute to the
national subscription to send volun-
teers to defend Cuba instead of using
his influence to convulse the country.

throne on the opening of parliament

sovereignty are sanctioned by Presi-
! dent Mckinley, to order the withdrawal

WEYLER TO THE FRONT.
Madrid, April IA, via Bayonne,
France, April II. s a. m.-The feature
| of the opposition press is the endeavor
| to bring General Weyler 10 the front
and make him the champion of the
cause of revolution, under the guise of
a savior of the national honor. The
general today undoubtedly has numer-
Gus followers. and even the news
papers which. ever since his return
from Cuba. have violently denounced
him. are now lauding the former cap
tain general of Cuba as the one man
who can save the situation.
The Pals. under large headings read

breathes; it is on all lips; il is stick
