SPAIN is NOT ANXIOUS.

Uncle Sans Prompt Action for National
Defense Rather COols Her ArdOr.
WASHINGTON, March 10. 1.-The prompt
action of the senate and house in APP
propriating $50 900, 900 for the national
defense is generally regarded as
the most effectual check so far pre-
scented to the prospects of war
with Spain. Information from Mad
rid and Havana tends to confirm
the belief that Spain is not anxious to
precipitate conflict in the face of the
warlike measures adopted by the
United States, and the best opinion
here looks upon war as a more remote
contingency than few days ago.
