sion that We Arc Rcsponsiblc for
Autonomy's Failure.

Washington. March 16.--The published
semi official statement Of the Spanish
cabinets view as to the responsibility or
tho United States in the Cuban situation
has created a profound impression. Of
ficals decline To discuss 1t publicly. but
there is a general belief among them that
tho publication marks the beginning OF q
new chapter In tho troubled relations be-
tween the United States and Spain. The
statement Is believed TO be d first step to-
ward forming public opinion In Europe in
anticipation OF failure on the part OF
Spanish Officials TO make n success OF the
autonomous programme which II had out
lined. and that an attempt Is 10 be made
to place the responsibility on the United
States for any failure that may follow.
This movement is regarded ~ Kidding
much to the gravity of the situation.
That the administration will be in
fluenocd by tho suggestion that the pres
ence of the fleet OF the North Atlantlc
squadron at Key West is n disturbing fac
tor Is not believed for Il moment. Visible
evidence of that determination was tho
ceaseless activity OF the naval officials a.
of the war department today,
Although the secretary OF the navy is
still pursuing with vigor his quest for
suitable warships that may be purrha ed
in Europe, beyond the two already secured
at the Armstrong works no further acuui-
sitons have been made. At the navy
department a high official said:
There do not seem TO be any ships
building. This Is not exactly the idea
meant TO be conveyed. There are large
number of ships in the market and many
Of these have been efiored TO the depart
nent. but unfortunately the vessels are
unsuitable Ia general Character for naval
purposes, or slse are So far from complies
