Berlin, April 2.-The German ambassa-
dor at Madrid, Herr Won Radowitz, re-
ports to the foreign Office here that the
Spanish royal family fears an outbreak,
unless the differences between the United
States and Spain are soon settled. The
Carlist movement is assuming more ac-
tive form and the royal family fears es-
peciaHy a pronunciamento from General
Weyler and the military party.
Everything is prepared in the royal cas-
ties for flight. The boy king, Alfonso,
will be taken to San Lucar de Barame-

kept ready for sailing.
The replies to the queens letter asking

HAVANA REALIZES DANGER.

from news which they have received from
the exterior and interior of the island, re-
gard the situation as critical. The tone of
all the morning papers is intensely pat
riotic.
The Constitution this morning says: 1T

state Of affairs between the United States
and Spain. We deprecate undue fanfar-
onade cries of to Washington like those
of "a Berlin of France before Sedan"

TREND OF ENGLISH SYMPATHY.
New York. April 2.-The Worlds London
correspondent says:
The progress of the fateful negotiations
between the United States and Spain is
followed with intense interest by the
British public.
The consensus Of views of the members
of parliament is that Spain, in the last
resort, will find some means of escaping
a war for which she has no resources
and which must end in not only Cuban
independence, but an enormous increase
of SPANS already ruinous burden of
debt.
A radical member expressed the opin-
ion that the British government should
notify Spain that the British North Amer
lean squadron would assist in repening
any attack on defenseless east coast
cities.
But in contrast there are evidences of
sympathy for Spain in conservative
circles.
The Globe Conservative shows decided
anti-American bias. 1t raises a warning
voice concerning the possibility of the in
preference by the United States else
where if the action regarding Cuba is per-
mitted without protest.
The St. James Gazette (also Conserva-
tive comments in the same spirit. ex-

incident it says: when it comes to
dramatic displays of emotion. real or
feigned, the United States can give good
many points to Spain, as the Cuban bust
ness has shown over and over again"
But # winds up with q general argument
In favor of American Intervention.
The Pail Mall Gazette gives for once
unqualified support 10 the American policy
of declaring independence the solution

the Spanish government will have to face

unless third nation succeeds in patching
up an eleventh-hour peace. Some of the /
papers deride the Madrid demonstration. |
The Westminster Gazette refers 10 it a
sort Of international Nellie Farren per
