Message Not Considered Hostile By
Spanish Ministry.
FORTIFIED BY WOODFORD
OUR MINISTER CONFIDENT OF
PERMANENT PEACE.
Bourse, However, Received the Mes
sage Badly-Frantic Editorial In
Yellow Journal Noble Ordered
Condned-Among the People, Mes
sage Made Bitter Impression.

Madrid. April 70. 7:45 p. m.-The min
listers have been in cabinet session to
examine the cabled digest of the mes
sage. ali reserving their opinions except
Senior Moret, who has declared that the
document does not shut the door on
their hopes for peace.
The bourse received the message
badly.
Senior Sivela, leader of the dissident
conservatives, characterizes it as
grave
Diplomatic circles generally maintain
discretion, combining themselves to
statements that the powers will pre-
serve peace.
Ell Correo, the official organ, will to-
night give its first expression since the
cabled abstracts of President McKin-
ley's message. 1t will say: President
McKinley's insistence on the right of
American interference in Cuba is little
agreeable to Spain, while his complaints
against the prolongation of the war
appear STEPPED in bitter irony"
WOODFORD is CONFIDENT.
While the message of the president is
much criticised by the. general public
and by a portion Of the press as provo
cative, it is known that the members
of the government and General Wood
ford do not consider it so, but are con-
fident of permanent peace.
The government has greatly
strengthened its position by the manner
in which it restored order after yester-
days events. Today the city of Ma
drid wears its usual aspect.
The republican and revolutionary Ell
Pals prints the following headlines on
its front page:
1.-The solution of the conflict is ma
tional government, a military dictator
ship and war with the United
States"
SAVE SPAIN FROM TRAITORS.
Its leading editorial announces that
the conductors of the papers. Putting
party politics today into the back
ground and thinking only of the father
land, urge the formation of a national
government composed of republicans,
liberals and absolute mOnarchists.
The editorial denounces the govern
ment for meeting patriotic cries with
sword cuts" and appeals to the people
and the army to save Spain from
traitors"
ORDERED CONFINED.
from Madrid today says that General
Bourbon de Castelvia, after his arrest
on Sunday for the part which he took
in the disturbances was ordered to
confinement in his castle near Santon,
10 miles from Santander.

and that the crowds who assembled at
the various stations between Madrid
and Santon loudly cheered the prisoner.

was hoped. the presentation Of Senior
Polo Y Bernabe's memorandum in re-
gard to the armistice would discount
the effect of President McKinley's
message.
THE German ambassador banqueted
the diplomatic corps yesterday even
ing. Senior Gullon (the minister for
foreign affairs) attended and the result
of the ambassadorial conference was
communicated to him.
BITTER IMPRESSION.
The Madrid correspondent of the
Daily Mail. telegraphing at 1880 Tues
day evening. says:
The message has produced very
deep and bitter impression. Many
friends of the cabinet share the senti-
ments of general discomfort. l am as
sured on good authority that Senior Sa-
gasta is very much Disguised with the
message. seeing the difficulties ahead
as a consequence of it.
The comment in political circles is
very heated. Many people believe the
government ought to show greater en-
ergy. Senior Moret is said to have ex-
pressed the opinion that The message
is not so bad as l had anticipated.
THESE ARE RESERVED.
THE influential press is rather re-
served in its comments, but the i'm
preston which the message has made
upon the people at large is very I'M
favorable. They, however, appreciate
the gravity of the situation.
Notwithstanding the rumOrs that
the Carlists have been fOmenting the
war feeling. this is not so.
THE ringleaders in the recent dis
turbances viii be proceeded against in
the ordinary tribunal"
