Ready to Defend Her Honor and
Her Soil.

Madrid, April IA, 200 p ma cabinet

sided, was held this afternoon.

but parliament will now be summoned to
meet on Wednesday next, April 20.
Senor Sagasta made a statement on the
subject of the recent developments of the
Cuban situation as affected by events in
Washington. He declared the situation
was very serious, and, while pointing out
"that the debates in Congress have no
legal value,' he said he deemed it advis-
able to expedite the reopening of the Cor
tes. sin order to allow the national opinion
and its representatives to declare the viii
of the people, and to enable the govern
ment to act in accord with the nation"

on emerging from the council, said The

and in the justice of her cause. She is

When the American government commun-
icates its decision Spain will stand ready
TO meet all eventualities.
To-day's action of the council confirms
the belief here that conflict is inevitable
and has produced much excitement The
council decided to instruct all Spanish rep
resentatives abroad to protest against
the calumnious charge against her" as
embodied in the reports of the foreign re-
lations committees of the Senate and
House of Representatives.

is communicating the government decis-
ion to the provincial governors in order

colonies Is doing the same for Cuba and

Much of to-night's excitement is due to

pared for Use.
Atlanta, Ga, April A.-An order was is
sued at the headquarters OF the Depart
ment of the Gulf to-day which is believed
to indicate that troops may be used for an
invasion of cuba.
The order directs that all apareios or
pack saddles in the Department of the
South be sent at once to st. Louis This
order is believed to have great significance,
indicating that saddles will be needed very
soon. There is a large supply depot at
st. Louis and It Is said saddles are sent
there to be repaired and placed in condi-
ton for use In the Cuban hills and noun
tains.
The pack saddle employed by the army
is capable of holding 800 pounds and the
amount of ammunition or supplies they
can carry Is very large. They are used in
portions OF the country where wagons
could not be taken and are now employed
by the Spanish very largely In Cuba
The number of apareJos in the depart
ment is not known here, but an order has
been sent to all of the posts to forward all
they have to ST. Louis. If during the prog
ress Of the war with Spain II becomes nec-
essary TO enter Cuba elsewhere than at
Havana mule trains will be used TO carry
supplies and ammunition and the order is
sued to-day Is believed to indicate that
such an invasion is not at all improbable.

Senor Sagasta, the minister of state, has

present situation and Spain's firm attitude
before the threatening decisions of the
United States. The note will protect
against the sessions of Congress and add
a recital of the sacrifices Spain has made

Possibility That Russln and Ger

Dispute.
Washington April 14-It was learned to-
night in high diplomatic quarters that an
exchange of notes had begun between the
European capitals with view to making
strong representations on the Spanish
American situation.
In the same connection an informal meet
ing of ambassadors and ministers in this
city of the six great powers of Europe
was held late in the day.
Several of the foreign establishments re-
ceived cable advlces from their govern
ments tonight as to the opening of the
exchange of notes. 1t is understood thai
the present movement is not of the same
mild character as the former one.
Simultaneous with the opening of the ex-
change, word came from Madrid that she
Spanish government was about to issue
another appeal to the great powers of Eu-
rope.
1t is understood that this appeal is an
intiatory to the concerted action of the
powers, and there is apparently an agree
ment in advance that the appeal will re
ceive favorable consideration.
1t is said that spain's appeal will recite
her grievances against the United States,
stating in detail the many concessions she
has made and pointing out that it was
of the six joint powers that the last con-
cession of an armistce was granted.
If the powers determine to act their in
Huence probably Will be particularly di-
reeted toward inducing the United States
to grant Spain sufficient time within which
to try the armistice recently proclaimed.
The present movement contemplates
that the influence shall be exerted at
Washington rather than at Madrid, as
it is the common belief in diplomatic quar-
ters that the Madrid authorities have
reached the limit of concessions.
There is no suggestion, however that
this influence at present will be of mate
rial ,ehsraa teF, +bHt ii is expected to be an
assertion of all the moral, influence, of
all the powers in checking the tendencies,
which it Is believed inevitably will lead
to war
Up to a late hour tonight word had not
been received at the various foreign es-
adjustments that any common basis of
joint action had been reached, although it
was the general impression that there
would be little difficulty in arriving at this
common ground in view of the prevailing
sentiment abroad 1t is not so certain.
however, that all Of the powers are ready
for step of this character.
Germany has of late shown disposi-
ton to avoid eXerting strong influence on
the United States.
Russia is also thought to be somewhat
Indifferent, as they were in the former
one
Whether all of the six great powers are
ready to join in the movement is in doubt,
and without this united action, it is felt
the force of such influence would be lost.

Boston, April H.-The fruit steamer
Barnstable, from Cienfuegos, Cuba, reach
ed here to-day, having on board United
States Consul McGarr.
He is quoted by the Globe as follows:
"a declaration of war against Spain by
the United States would be a grevlous mis-
take.
'orhe situation in Cuba has been most
glossly, yes, criminally, exaggerated by
irresponsible persons for the purpose OF
bringing on a war between Spain and the

"The people Of Cienfuegos, where / was
stationed, were profoundly grieved and
surprised at the idea of war between
Spain and the United States when left
there.
"How many Americans are there in

the point that Americans were Ia no dan

on the steamer were Vice Consul Can

in their interview they fatty contradicted
Mr.. McGarrs statements, the first named
saying that Consul McGarr was more
Spanish than the Spaniards themselves.

In view, however. of the reports Of the

grave trend Of affairs he has decided not

A Cabin of This New and Popular Order

For number of years past native
born Oregonians have agitated the Or
ganization of society, the porpose OF
which would be to draw together the
men and women who were born In the

history of Oregon. At the time of the

June such an organization was per-
fected, the head cabin of Native Sons
