LONDON PRESS SAYS IT IS WAR.

London. April 2.-The Times says edi'orl-
ally this morning:

is easy to see how two proud nations, WITH
out many bonds of tradition or social SYM
pathy NAV find themselves involved ne
fore they fully realize the perils in the grim
realities of war.
1T is not unnaturally suspected that
SPANS reply to the United States Is a de-
vice to gain time and to defer the war to
the malariouS season in Cuba. If Cuba
could attain any form of respectable gov
ernment under the Spanish flag il would be
the best thing that could happen, both for
herself and her neighbors; but there is
scarcely q CLEAN of hope that this Soiu-
ton is now possible.
The Daily Mail says:
Every lover of liberty will wish the war
as short as it is sure to he decisive The
United States can gain nothing for them
selves by fighting Spain, unless it he an
addition to their honorable record as the
apostles of freedom. 1t is a mere common
place to say how great Is Englands anXi-

The Daily Graphic says:
War may be regarded as inevitable
within a few weeks. The conciliatory form
of Spain's refusal of the American demands
can only produce u short delay. Few feA-
sonahle people will question the wisdom OF
the United States in the Cours" they nave

Spain have been strengthened by the fact
that the United States and England have

ton between here and Madrid.
Late this AFTERNOON Madrid bulletin
WAS received stating that the pope was
seeking to exercise pacific influences by
inducing both Spain ard the insurgents to
accept an armistce in Cuba. If this be
true the pope has not given any instruC-
tiOns or information along this line to
MonsignOr Martineli at Washington. The
latter has taken no step toward mediation.
Ii has been reported that one of the arch
bishops of the Catholic church, in the
course of an informal conversation with
high officials, suggested the mediation of
the pope. This, however. was Unauthorized

there is little reason to believe the ad-
mnistration would receive with favor any
proposition of this character from a foreign
source.

In his message to congress. which III az

From the extraordinary activity at the

believe Spain is seeking the friendly offices

French Russian. Austrian and Spanish
ambassadors to the British foreign office
is connected with the Cuban situation.

ness of medical staff corps, etC.
The naval experts dwell upon SPANS
Disadvantage in having to act at such
distance from her naval base. One high
authority recalled an interesting impress
sion derived abroad from a Spanish man
of war. that the element which will lend
seriously to the detriment of the Spanish
navy will be found in the contempt with
which the superiors regard their interiors.

The Statist anticipates hostilities, which
it regards as imminent, though it does not
relinquish the hope that it will cause big
advance in the value of money in London.

market here, especially as, Under the cir

difficulty In inducing congress to make the
