sirna of MeaknnInr.

The Spanish government, after what
plainly has been most exciting times
in inner Spanish circles at Madrid, has
decided to reopen the case, closed, SO
far as this government was concerned,
by the refusal Of Spain to make satis-
factory response to the representations
made by the United States last week,
in order to avert impending war, and
has decided to make concessions hereto
fore refused.
What will be the final outcome it is
too early to say, but the aspect of affairs
certainly is considered more pacific and
sufficient to renew the hope of the pres
ident in solution Of the Cuban ques-
tion satisfactory to the American people
and achieved without bloodshed.
The details remain to be worked out,
but it is expected that between now and
Monday a clearer light will be thrown
on the future by the action at Madrid
OF which one important feature at least
is the declaration Of an armistice by the
queen regent of Spain. This armistice,
it is expected. will lead to the ultimate
independence of Cuba from Spanish
rule, but by what intermediate steps
perhaps the governing powers do not at
this time know.

New York. April s.--The Cuban
junta, through its counsel, Horatio S.
Rubens, made an important official
statement today. II declares in the
most uneQuivocal language that the
Cuban provisional government and the
Cuban army would refuse absolutely
intervention by the United States.
unless it should be preceded by rec
ognition of the independence Of the
Cuban republic; that if the United
States persisted in intervening without
recognition OF Cuban Independence, the
Cuban government and the military
forces would refuse to cooperate; and
that il the United States troops should
be sent to Cuba, upon the basis Of in
teIvention without independence. the
Cuban army would as last resort turn
its arms against the United States.

The note OF the European powers
presented to the president today, has
not. in the opinion Of members Of the
administration, changed the situation
in the slightest degree. What pressure
was brought to bear in this mildly ex-
pressed hope that further negotiations
would result in the maintenance OF
peace, is not known, but it is confident
~ believed that il is the result of per-
sistence on the part of Spain for some
expression of peace between the two
countries The note is not regarded in
any sense as protest against the
course this government has pursued
thus far or is likely to adopt to secure
stable government in Cuba.
Some of the governments represented
in the note are known to be in full ac-
cord with this government in its pur-
poses With respect to the Cuban ques-
ton, and therefore any theory that the
note was intended as remonstranee is
not regarded as tenable.
The reply of this government, which
had previously been read and approved
by members Of the cabinet, is not con-
sidered as indicating any change in the
fixed purpose Of the president to inter-
yene in Cuba at once. nor is it believed
it was the expectation of the majority
OF the foreign representatives present
that the United States should change
its policy or regard the joint note as
other than an expression in behalf of
peace and without significance.

So far as known in administration
