SPAIN READY FOR WAR
She Believes 1t Was Forced Upon
Her by the United States.
SAGASTA MAKES A SPEECH
lie Declares the Last Concession Made
and Now the Inevitable Must Come.
All Hoping for Peace Have
Now Changed.

Madrid, April 20. The one sentiment
here is war. Spain believes IL was
forced upon her, and she is ready for IL.
The supporters Of the government in
both houses Of parliament met in the
senate chamber at 5 o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Premier Sagasta addressed
them as follows:
The times are 50 grave and the cir.
cumstanccs are so exceptional that acts
and not words are necessary TO face the
present difficulty. Attempts are being
made to sully the glorious history Of
Spain by an infamous calumny. The
present Spanish government have done
their utmost to avert the war to which
we are being provoked. We have now
reached the limits Of concession com.
patible with honor and territorial integ.
rity.
I'VE consented TO the last concession
at the instance Of the pope and the pow.
er. We yielded in fact; but now at.
tempts are made upon our honor and
menaces directed against our territory.
That is a thing to which spaniaris will
never consent lApplausel This is
not the moment TO trace a parliament.
AIRY programme, but the moment to
unite ourselves as our fathers have done,
In the face Of an odious attempt against
the integrity Of our territory.
"The insult offered US today is the
most infamous that has ever been offer.
cd" prolonged applausel
Continuing, Senior Sagasta counseled
the rapid constitution Of the chambers
In order to accord TO the government the
means TO defend the country's interests.
Spain, he added, Twill not allow
particle Of her territory to b. taken
from her with IMMUNITY, nor viii she be
a party to any tnfficking for her pos.
sessions"
Prolonged cheers greeted the speech.
Seldom has there been witnessed a
more impressive and significant scene.
The large hall OF the senate was densely
crowded with Liberal senators and depu.
ties, who listened with brcathless atten.
ton 10 the short speech Of Senior Sagasta,
only interrupted with unanimous aud
loud applause.
II the idea still existed in the mind Of
anyone here that war could h. averted
Senior Sagasta's firm speech is regarded
as finally settling all doubt.
The terms Of the speech which the
queen regent will deliver at the opening
Of the cortes today are jcalously guard.
ed, but It Is said that the speech will
prove firm, convincing and satisfactory
10 the national sentiments
IL is claimed here that perfect una.
nimity prevails in Spain TO face war
rather than yield to the demands Of the
United States.

that probably the American troops viii

Of Cuba and advance ON Havana while

Prominent Spanish residents say that
they cannot understand the stupidity OF
their government In not having sold the
island for a couple Of hundred million
dollars and so saved the national honor
and got some solid cash, while now the
island is irretrieyably lost. Mexico will
preserve a strictly neutral attitude
There is no longer any boastful talk Of
capturing Portland, Boston aud New
Orleans In 10 days from the beginning
Of hostilities.
spaniards here now generally appear
TO feel blue over the situation.

New York, April 9O.-Spaniards in
humble circumstances residents of this
city, were amazed last night when they
learned that the Spanish government
meant only to give them free passage as
far as Havana On Monday Consul
General Baldasano Published notice
that he, acting for his government, was
prepared TO make arrangement. for their
transfer from this country 10 Spanish
dominion,
They were told that the steamer Pan.
ANA would carry them. While Havana
is one Of the ports Of call Of the Panama,
they believed they would be transferred
at some other port Of call to one Of the
other liners Of the same steamship com.
pany, which would carry them to Spain
direct, but IL seems that the Spanish
government contemplated no such &C.
ton, and last night the situation
was that while the wealthy spaniard
must 40 wherever his money would car.
~ him, those sailing free would be land.
cd at Havana. The Indignation at such
a course was widespread in the local
Spanish colony.
II was pointed out that for the impe.
cunious Spaniard to leave the city where
his right to live and police protection is
guaranteed and BE- landed In town
which will be starved or shelled, or both,
within few days, would BE- TO place his
hfc In jeopardy. The mutterings against
such an arrangement was both loud and
long, and IL Is not improbable nc all that
the Panama will carry less than one. half
the Spanish refugees which was expect.
