BOTH ARE PROUD.
A Madrid Correspondent Thinks Both
Countries Expected to Bluff.

LONDON, April 9.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Standard, telegraphing
Friday night, says;
Surprise and perplexity have been
caused In Madrid by the news Of the
steps Of the European Powers in WASH
ington. which tends TO confirm the prev
alcnt idea that the same influences are
acting in concert with the mediation OF
the Pope TO induce the government and
the Queen Regent 10 meet President Nc
hinlcy half way Official circles are
much pleased by the new aspect OF the
crisis which is said to increase the pros
pect Of a pacific solution
The most curious feature throughout
the crisis has been the fact that during
the past six months the Spanish people
and their rulers have not seemed TO re-
alize that the American people and the
President were in earnest. though re-
luctant TO so to war. In the United
states diplomats and the Executive seem
ed hardly u have realized how difficult
IL would be 10 induce proud little Spain
to rclinuuish her hold upon Cuba and
Porto RICO.

dirlomacy and the President have so lit
tie understood the real state Of things
IN the domestic affairs Of Spain as 10
fancy that the pressure OF financial ana
monied interests, tho arguments OF a
few far-seeing and enlightened men like
Senors Moret. Gullon and Puigcerver and
the alleged immense influence Of the
Pope over the Spanish court and the
Catholics could weigh In the balance
against the popular and military classes.
against the deep and widespread hostil-
ity OF all classes toward the United
States. and against the fear In the court
and the government OF playing into the
hands OF the Carlsts and the representa-
tons OF Weyler and political agitation.
a majority Of tho nation from the
highest 10 the lowest. believe il Cuba
must be lost. IL is better to lose 1t after
having inflicted serious and, II possible,
prolonged harm upon the nation that
has so long and deeply wronged Spain in
Cuba.
Despite the profound animosity pre-
vailing against America. so far not a
single act of aggressive nature has been
reported by the people or the official re-
preventative OF the United States. Never
theless the government and the authori-
ties are taking precautions at Madrid and
in the provinces lest the violent articles
Of the republicans and independent press
should fan the popular excitement"
