ADDS TO THE GRAVITY.

Hepresentations of Spain Probably Made
to Influence European Opinion.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE pub
lished semi official statement of the
Spanish cabinets view as to the respon-
sibility of the United States in the Gu
ban situation has created profound
impression. The statement is believed

public opinion in Europe in anticdpa.
ticn of a failure on the part OF the
Spanish officials to make q success Of
the autonomous programme, which it
had outlined, and that an attempt is
to be made to place the responsibility
upon the United States for any failure
that may follow. This movement is
regarded as adding much to the gravity
of the present situation. That the adj
ministration will be Influenced by the
suggestion that the presence of the
fleet of the North Atlantic squadron at
Key West is disturbing factor is not
believed for a moment.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE war
preparations being made by the United
States, the assembling of ships at Key
West, the purchase of cruisers abroad,
and the emergency measures in the
war and navy departments have come
to the official attention of the Spanish
government. and the views of the Span.
ish cabinet thereon have been commu.
nicated to the state department here.
This has not taken the form of protest,
however, as it does not appear that the
Spanish governments claim or assert
their right to question such internal
measures as the United States may
adopt. even though they beof a char.
acter to indicate preparations for war.

as seriously prejudicial to the policy of
autonomy which Spain and the United
States have alike approved, and an i'm
direct encouragement to the Insurgents
in defeating the desires of both govern
ments for the success of that policy.
Finally, and in the same spirit of
friendly representation, rather than of
protest, Spain has pointed out that a
war by the United States against Spain
under such circumstances would be I'M

Public Unable to Realize the Terrible
Conditions Existing in Cuba.

We saw warehouses full of starving
women and children. These people
have been forced into the villages and
the towns by the Spaniards, and the
whole country where they lived has
been devastated.
"In the ride from Havana to Sagua
Ia Grande, distance of about 20O
miles or more, the country presented a
picture of desolation. For miles and
miles the charred stalks of the burned
sugar cane showed where the torch
had been applied by the Spanish and
the Insurgents slike.

proportion OF the land in the provinces
mentioned. What they need is arms
