HOUSE FORECAST.
Washington. ID. c.. April 3.-Thcre IS
little IN the way Of the programme fo1
the House this week. Everything
awaits upon the Presidents message,
and the momentous events which are To
follow its presentation. Tomorrow the
bill for the reorganization of the army
IS to be called up. Chairman Hull, of
the military committee. believes it viii

the opposition which it might encounter
in ordinary times.
The Senate District of Columbia Naval
Battalion bill is on the Speakers table.

Friday are private bill days. The de
ticiency appropriation b:ll is almost
ready and could be considered any time
after Wednesday If the message does
not come i'll on that day.
WAR SEEMS INEVITABLE.
That is the Estimate Of The Newspapers
in Madrid.
Madrid. April 3.-The majority of the
newspapers here to-day regard war as
inevitable. They think General Stewart
l.. Woodford has communicated 4 final
answer to the government. The Libe-
raj says:
1t is clear that no concession will

dependence of Cuba, and we had better
Immediately end the uncertainty
The whole article of the Liberal on
the subject is bellicose in tone.
The Pas asserts that great uneasi-
ness prevails at Washington concerning
tie attitude of the Southern States in
case of war with Spain, and also be-
cause the Spaniards are organizing IN
Mexico to invade the States Wiley
wrested from the Mexican republic
In conclusion the Pals asserts hat "it
will not lie I'LL beer and skittles' for the
United States"
Much excitement was caused during
the day by the receipt of Il dispatch
saying it is expected that the passports
of t he Spanish Minister at Washington
will be handed to him on Monday.
There was little excitement here this
afternoon, owing principally to the fact
hat there was no bull fight to-day.
Extra precautions were taken to pre-
vent disorder at the Republican mass
meeting this afternoon. The number of
guards at the United States Legation;
was increased.
The object of the demonstration was
to demand a revision of the sentence
imposed rrpon political and other often
dcrs, to proteEt against the torturing Of
anarchists in The prison of the Fortress
of Montjuich, Barcelona; to demand the
free import of wheat, and to demand
universal conscription, without the re
dcmption of the rich conscripts.
The demonstrations. contrary to eX-
pectation. turned out to he a very quiet
and formal affair. In fact it may be
termed n 'fiZZle."
The demands Of the people who took
part in the demonstrations We're en-
bodied in i manifesto. which was handed
to the Minister Of the Interior. Senior
Capdepon. who replied. saying he re.
GREETED that the in~disposition of Senior
Sagasta made i necessary for him to
receive the dcpntation in the Premicr's
place. The Spanish people, Senior Capdc-
pom added. We're worthy of the liberty
they enjoyed. and the government
would always keep abreast of public
opinion. But the manifesto was too So
rious to be Immediately replied to. 1t
would mman serious attention. and
would be referred to the Cortes.
