PRESSURE OF
 THE POWERS It May Be Brought to Bear Upon President
 Mckinley. Europe Will Try to Prevent Him Signing Intervention
 Resolutions. Spain Is Also Preparing Plans by Which the Dons Hope to Secure
 Sympathy Abroad.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 15.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Eu- ropean intervention in the Cubar ques- tion will be largely determined by the character of the action taken by Con- gress. This much is certain. Repre- sentatives of powers here are equally certain that no further pressure will be exerted upon Spain to secure addi- uonal concessions. If pressure should be determined upon by the powers it will be brought to bear upon President Mckinley, and it will be employed with view to preventing him from approv- ing any resolution which contains a recognition of independence of insur- gents, who, he declared in his message to Congress, possessed none of the att tributes of a sovereign people
 On the other hand it is doubtful if the great powers of Europe will unite in another note to the President in case resolution such as suggested by MT. Mckinley in his message or even that passed by the House should be pre- sented to him for action. It is felt by the members of the diplomatic corps that the House resolution while direct ing interver jon would not necessarily precipitate war, hecause it mercy "au- thoriZeS and empowers" the President to employ the land and naval forces to execute the purpose of the resolution.
 The representatives of France, Aus- tria and Italy, the powers taking the most interest in the matter, believe that the President in urging Congress to authorize the taking of measures to secure in the island the establishment of a stable government" thereby ex- pressed his willingness to permit Spain to retain her flag in Cuba, and had no intention of annexing Cuba or of driv- ing European power out of the Amer ican continent.
 In addition to the address which will be delivered when the Cortes meets in extraordinary session on Wednesday next, Spain, it is expected in official diplomatic circles here, will instruct her Ambassadors at the courts of Europe to call attention to what she will term the unjust imputation cast upon her by the American Court of Inquiry and by the President of the United States in his message, and finally the terrible accusation made by the Senate Com mittee on Foreign Relations that she is criminally responsible for the destruc- tion of the battle-ship Maine.
 The result of such note it is not diff cult to foresee. The representatives of the great powers believe that it will more than ever arouse the sympathy of Europe to be followed or to be, per haps, anticipated by prompt action should the Congress of the United States pass a resolution to grant the insurgents a recognition of their inde- pendence.
 Each of the European representatives to-day transmitted to his Government a copy of the report of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations. While there was no undue activity displayed by any of the representatives to-day it is known that they have been in com munication, but nothing can be done until instructions are received from their respective Governments, upon the advice transmitted as a result of the conference yesterday, and which will be sent as soon as the resolution of in- tervention passes Congress.
