THE SPANISH PRESS.

What Madrid Papers Have to Say of
 the Situation.
 Madrid, March 29-Imparcial and Liberal agree in saying that mediation of the European powers will be difficult in view of the crisis in the far east, add ing: "Anyway, Spain is able herself to resent insult and repudiate unjust pre- tension"
 The Liberal also says:
 If the United States desires to suc- cor the Cubans the simplest means is to confide the mission to the Spanish Red Cross society, which is well organized in Cuba, and, besides. many members are ready to go there from Spain if nee essary. However, if the United States wants war let her say so frankly and not seek charitable or humanitarian ex- cuses ,
 The Diaro quotes the minister for the colonies, senor Moret, as replying to q question of the minister of marine, Ad- miral Bermejo, with the remark:
 s'The storm continues, but the bar emoter is rising. '
 This is regarded as meaning that the situation is not so unfavorable to Spain as 1t was

Mangrove at Havana So Americans Can
 Take Refuge.

Mangroye at Havana So Americans Can
 Take Refuge.
 New York, March 29. It is now said on good authority that the Mangrove, which sailed for Havana on Friday, os- tensibly went there to bring away ma terials recovered from the Maine, but in reality to be on hand in case of an out break in Havana so that Americans could take refuge on the vessel, ayers the Key West correspondent of The Herald. Twenty Americans arrived there on the Ohyette from Havana. Among these were Captain Sigsbee and other officers of the Maine, ordered home by the Washington authorities. Captain Chadwick will remain at Key West temporarily, although the other officers continued north via Tampa.
 The concensus of opinion among all the passengers was that d general exodus from Havana would shortly be inaug- urated, as the excitement attending the published report of the Maine board Of inquiry is increasing.

ORDERED TO MAKE HASTE.
spain's Crippled Torpedoboat Instructed
 to Make For Spain.


 to Make For Spain.
 New York, March 20.-A dispatch to The World from Waterford, Ireland, says:
 The torpedoboat destroyer Audaz, al- though crippled by gale, is ordered to Spain with all possible haste. She put in here Friday with both bows smashed in, her stern twisted several feet out of line and other serious damage, sustained while trying to cross the Bay of Biscay on the way from her builders at Clydes- bank, Scotland, to Ferrol, Spain. Her collision burst, but the second bulkhead stopped the water, preventing her from laundering Her captain intended to take the vessel to the Clyde for repairs, but the government at Madrid deemed it important that the Audaz should reach Spain at the earliest moment. Therefore, the captain was ordered to take her to Queenstown for temporary repairs to enable her to make Lisbon or Cadiz as soon as the weather moderates.
 The captain said he was extremely anxious concerning the fate of the 0sa- do, sister boat which left the Clyde with Audaz and encountered the same violent storm. He hoped she had ob- tained shelter in some other port, but there is no report yet of her arrival any. where. The two new torpedo boat de- stroyers parted company in a hurricane. The captain of the Audaz says he and his crew had frightful experience. be- ing battened for IS hours in terrific sea, in which the Audaz was completely buried half the time The men have not been permitted to come ashore. The captain is afraid that they may desert rather than face the remainder of the voyage to Spain. It is quite possible too that they might be subjected to hostile demonstrations from the people of Waterford.

Opinions of Freuch Papers.

Paris, March 28.-The Figaro con- menting upon the Cuban situation says ]:
 "There is more reason now than yes terday to suppose that the ostentatious policy of the United States will be transformed into a ready, active policy. The sole danger of war lies in the new cortes allowing themselves to be drawn into replying to impertinences addressed to Spain.
 The Journal approves M. Hanotaux's s adoption of neutrality, the moral stand point of which permits him to assist in solving the difficulty.' ,

ANOTHER NEW PLAN.
Spain Will Give to Cuba Home Eu1e
 Under the Spanish Flag.

New York, March 29.-spain, al- though apparently defiant, has asked for further delay in case the United States does anything more about Cuba, says the Washington correspondent of The Herald.
 This request was made by Senor Polo y Bernabe, the Spanish minister at Washington. He said that Spain would lay before the state department at the earliest day possible plan for a more liberal government of Cuba
 This plan, the minister declared, would be so fair and liberal that it would be satisfactory to the United States and the Cubans, and it would bring about peace on the island Spain s proposal is generally believed in Wash ington to have come too late. President Mckinley and the Spanish diplomats have given up hope of averting war and with characteristic patience are ready

Itwould be easy enough for the Unit ed States to recruit an army of 1,000,- 900 men in one month, but land soldiers are not what we need. The present crisis has developed the situation clear ly and revealed to us that what we need most of all are coast defenses, a navy and naval militia.

MRS. FRANCIS HoDasoN BURNETT, author of Little Lord Fauntleroy, " and other stories, is suing her hus- band, Dr. s. M. Burnett, for di- yorce. The cause of the estrange- ment is said to be Mrs. Burnett's strong self will and the frequent clash of opinion, which renders their domestic life disagreeable. In this case the wife's fame outshines that of her husband, which is not calculated to promote domestic fe- licity.
