EUROPEAN POWERS
WARN THE SPANISH
France, Great Britain, Germany
and Russia Caution Spain to
Accept the Inevitable.
ADVISED TO ABANDON CUBA
Should She Reject the Advice She
Must Find Within Her Own
Kingdom the Sinews
of War.

Chicago, March 14.-Walter Well
man in u Washington special to the
Iimes-Herald says:
An end to Cuba's woes seems near
and that without war. President Me-
Hinley is preparing to intervene, per-
laps within two weeks, for the pur-
pose of restoring order in Cuba and
saving the many thousands of human
lives now endangered.
The governments of Europe are eX-
.rcising a restraining hand upon Spain
20 prevent her committing a breach of
he worlds peace and TO induce her to
accept the inevitable without resort
to force.
The creditors of Spain, who are in
large measure responsible for this
diplomatic pressure eXerted by their
governments, have directly warned
Spain that she must not make war
with America, and that if she does
make war the money to carry on oper-
atoms must come from the people of
Spain and not from them.
Great movements affecting the his
tory OF nations are now on foot both
in Europe and America. Bankrupt,
desperate, tottering Spain, and un-
happy, war wrecked and disease raw
aged Cuba are now the subjects of the
worlds solicitude.
The world has come TO the same con-
clusion as that which the people Of
the United States have reached, that
L is time to put a stop to SPANS vain
forts to reassert her rule in Cuba and
to the horrors which have grown out
of that lutile endeavor.
The world has come to the conclu-
sion, moreover, that in the desperation
Of her bankruptcy and decay Spain
must not be permitted to destroy the
worlds peace.
At this very moment quiet, secretive
out o the less effective diplomatic
pressure is being brought to bear upon
the government at Madrid to induce
{ TO accept the inevitable without
making useless and destructive war.
This pressure is now being eXerted
through NJ. P~atenotre and Great Brit
ain is not far behind. The representa-
tives of Russia and Germany are CO.
operating.
The effect is already obvious. Spain
Is cooling down. Her statesmen, who
may be said 70 be as able as the public
men Of any country, perceive the force
Of the argument used by the represent
atives Of the powers. War with Amer
lea is worse than useless if Spain can
endure the loss of Cuba without revo-
tuition in the peninsula. Even a peace
full loss of the colony will be more
easily endured than the bitterness, the
savagery, the despair, the violence that
a-~ s~s~ - s~na-v IN tho woLa af a
disastrous war.
Hostilities with America, it is point
ed ont 10 the statesmen at Madrid,
could have but one ending, and that
quick and humiliating defeat for Spain,
loss of Cuba, a great war indemnity
70 pay the victor, dissenJions at home,
perhaps social and political revolution
ird an upheaval which would cost the
royal family its throne.
