SPAIN IS OBSTINATE.
Will Not Allow American Relief to
 Suffering Cubans.

Berlin, March 27-The Madrid cor respondent of the Berliner Tageblatt says: Spain will not only refuse to allow American interference in assist ing the suffering Cubans, but will de- cline to pay an indemnity unless it is shown unmistakably that the Spanish authorities were responsible for the Maine explosion. If President Me Kinley demands these two things war is unavoidable.
 SAGASTA SUPPORTED.
 Madrid, March 27-The elections for the popular branch of the cortes have passed off on the whole quietly, The indications are that Senor Sa- gasta will have an enormous majority estimated at 300 of the 432 seats in the congress.
 AN EYE ON THE PHILIPPINES.
 Manila, Philippine Islands, March 27.-The defenses and forts have been strengthened with a view of guarding against possible sudden sea attack.
 A WAR VESSEL FOR SPAIN.
 Berlin, March 27-The Vienna cor respondent of the Frankfort Zeitung says the Austro-Hungarian govern ment is negotiating for the sale of war vessel to Spain.

Washington, March 27. - Tonight Commodore Winfield s. Schley, just appointed commander of the Flying Squadron," left here for Norfolk. It is said that tomorrow he will hoist his flag on the Brooklyn, which is to be the flagship of the fleet. Another yes sel of the squadron now at Hampton Roads is the Massachusetts. Of the remaining three the Texas is at New York receiving her ammunition hoists, and the Columbia and Minneapolis are at League Island navy yard, where the final work preparatory to their sea service is being hurriedly done. The latter will be at Norfolk about the middle of the week.
 The developments of the day in the Cuban situation indicate steady pro- gross in the negotiations in this country and Spain looking to the maintenance of peace. At the present at least there is good authority for saying that Spain's wish 4s to secure a cessation of hostilities in Cuba rather than to engage in war with the United States, and that it is more than probable that negotiations be- tween the government of the United States and the Sagasta ministry will take favorable turn in the immediate future.
 The present Spanish ministry has expressed a pacific disposition from the beginning and the indica- tions are strong now that it will avail itself of the good offices of the United States to the fullest extent that public opinion in Spain will allow in bring ing to an end the hostilities in Cuba
 A policy has been rully determined upon by the president. It is to bring the Cuban war to close. This will be accomplished by a pointed inter vention if necessary, but it is consid- cred far preferable that the end should come as the result of peaceful negotiations than that it should be tions on the part of the United States Hence the disposition Of the president is to give Spain fair opportunity to secure an armistice with the Cubans and to allow her a reasonable time in which to come to an understanding with the hostiles.
 It can be stated upon high author ity that there has been no abatement of the presidents intention to see that the war is terminated. When it is closec up it will be on terms that will render the Cubans a practically free people. It is not believed that they would accept anything less, no1 that Americans would be satisfied ii we should encourage a settlement that would not be acceptable to the Cubans. If there should be an ar. mistice it would be followed by con. sessions made by Spain at the instance of this country and that negotia. tions should be opened immediately with the insurgents looking to the es tablishment of a permanent peace upon these terms.

SPAIN AT WHITE HEAT.
Columbus Descendants Opinion of
 President Mckinley.

!
 Madrid, March 27.-The latest in- telligence from the United States has occasioned great patriotic move ment throughout Spain. A large num- Der of persons have announced their intention to give up days pay or their services to raise a fund to pur- chase a warship. A committee over which the bishop of Madrid will pre- side has been organized to receive the subscriptions made. Special theatrical performances are announced, the re- ceipts of which are to be devoted to this purpose.
 The Duke of Veragua, who knows President Mckinley personally, is re- ported as saying: President McKin- ley does not inspire me with conf dence. He is proud and vain. He thinks he is the first states man in the world, and his great vanity makes him believe him. self Napoleon, when in reality he is an ignorant sutler"
 It is reported that the conserva- tives intend to propose that troops in the interior of Cuba should withdraw to the coast until the autonomists and separatists arrive at an agreement, but it is not expected that the cortes Will entertain such proposal. The situation in Cuba is declared to be much improved.
 A BIG SECRET ORDER.
 P1ttsburg, Pa., March 27-It is learned that the Westinghouse electric light plant has been working steadily for the last two weeks on secret gov ernment order for an electrical appara- tus designed for use in connection with submarine mines and torpedoes, etc. The contract is for $15O,OOO and the equipments which are to be complete in every detail are to be furnished at the earliest possible moment.

gence on the part of Spain for which the United States is entitled to com pensation but Spain's claims on ac- count of filibustering expeditions must also be allowed.
 No German credits the genuineness of American measures against these expeditions or of he indignation of Americans over Spanish cruelties in Cuba. Indeed the opinion here resents intervention as an impertinence and would, in case of war, sympathize outspoken1y with Spain, but would at the same time preserve the strictest neutrality.
 A RUPTURE IS CERTAIN.
 Berlin, March 27.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Frankfort Zeitung says: ''Senor Gullon, minister of for eign affairs, has informed me that an extremely threatening note has ar rived from Washington regarding the cessation of the war in Cuba. He added: No matter how the affair Is regarded a rapture can now hardly be 
 avoided.
 WORSE THAN SAVAGES.
 Madrid, March 27.-A gene1a al III the army who declined to permit the use of his name said that it was incredible that the report of the American court of inquiry into the Maine disaster should attribute the destruction or the vessel to a submarine mine.
 Not even among savages, he as serted, would such mines be placed in their ports. Moreover. cur own ships would have incurred equal peril had the mines been placed in Havana harbor. Mines are only laid in time of war and then friendly nations are notified
