MADRID, January S.-The impartial
expresses fear that the dispatch OF the
United States battleship Maine to Ha-
bana will provoke a conflict, and adds:
Europe cannot doubt Americas attitude
toward Spain, but the Spanish people, II
necessary, will do their duty with honor"
The Epoca asks n the dispatch of the
Maine TO Habana is intended as a sop
TO the jngoes.' and adds 1--WE cannot sup
pose the American Government so naive
or badly informed as to imagine that the
presence OF American war-vessels at Ha,
bana will be cause of satisfaction 10

MADRID. January 25.-The newspapers

agree i'm expressing the opinion that her
visit is 'inopportune and calculated to
encourage the insurgents" 1t Is an

instruct Spanish warships to visit few
