Spanish TorpedO Boats.

Madrid, March 22.-The papers here
publish full reports of the movements of
the United States warships and of the
defensive preparations being made by
the government of the United States. 1t
is reported that the Spanish warship
selected to convoy the torpedo flotilla
has sailed from Cartagena for the Ca
nary islands. 1t appears that the delay
in the voyage of the torpedo boats is due
to the fact that the Ariete, one of the
Spanish torpedo boats, sustained some
slight damage while on her way from
Cadiz to the Canaries.
The Spanish newspapers advocate
further strengthening of the naval
squadron in Cuba. The Heraldo thinks
that in view of the DESTINATIONS prep
arations'' of the United States, Spain has
full liberty to make similar prepare

Position of Spain.

Madrid, March Eft is said on au-
thority that the Spanish government will
refuse to accept any finding of the Maine
commission which may suggest Span
ish responsibility. What is more, that
intention is known to the United States
government. The ministerial view
is that the imputation which such find
ing would have, if admitted, would for
ever be an irremovable blemish upon
SPANS reputation as a civilized country,
and that this she could not possibly
bear. If the report of the commission
throws blame upon Spain which would
carry with it a call for indemnity, the
peninsular government will forthwith
make an appeal to the combined Eu-
ropean powers, on the plea of equity and
common fairness, to intervene in favor
of Spain against what every Spaniard
would esteem as most iniquitous find
ing.

PandO's Delegates Could Not Get Rebels
to Lay Down Their Arms.
Havana, via Key West, March 22.-It
is now known positively that the nego-
tiations between General Pando's dele
gates, Ramirez and Charvez, and Gen
eral Calizto Garcia and other promi-
nent insurgents in which the radical au-
Economists made what are said to be
final offers of practical independence,
have proved an absolute failure. Ne
particulars have yet been received at
the palace here as to the place or the
particulars of the meeting, but the fail
ure of the negotiations is shown by the
resumption of hostilities, which had
been suspended in order to allow of
the conference.
General Pando's command is again
moving eastward, purposing to carry
out the plans in the provinces of Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba made
prior to General Pando's arrival at the
city of Santiago de Cuba.
The fact that General Gomez remains
inside the Jucaro- Moron trocha and in
General Pando's rear makes the latter
subject to criticism upon the part Of
military men in Havana. 1t is acknowl-
edged, however, that he details of the
movements of the Spaniards and insur-
gents are meagre and that all judgment
passed is liable to revision on receipt OF
fuller information.
AS wired recently, Havana has at last
awakened to what it's people regard as
the probability of war with the Uni
ted States, and the sober minded are
ha nnct Soma yUhCTn the

IRENE conservatives are counting that
cost with satisfaction. They are annex
ationists now, no matter what they were
year or less ago, and in their number
are editors, lawyers, bankers, mer-
chants, manufacturers, officials, even
priests, though those of the sacredotal
function cling more tenaciously than
any other class to the vested rights of
royalty. Deep is the interest felt in the
attitude of the European powers in re-
gard to the intervention, and loud are
the accaims of delight over published
cablegrams purporting to give words of
aid and comfort from the German en-
peror French minister or Italian deputy.
But the liveliest grow grave at the
mentioning of a possible alliance be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States, and the anxiety manifested by
Secretary Congosto to interview Mr..
Collin, British representative here, and
our General Lee and learn the truth or
falsity of the story that the Prince OF
Wales has said a British fleet would
support the United States in putting an
end to the war in Cuba, was almost lu-
dicrous, it was so openly expressed.
