| Correspondence OF the klsxandris Gazette
WASHINGTON. April 5.
The Spanish Minister, Senior Polo de
Bernabe, was seen at the Spanish LIE
CATION to-day and consented to talk on
the present condition of affairs. He
spoke freely aud at times with intense
earnestness. The interview is author
iIstive throughout; II am still hopeful
of peace" said he. "That may seem OPP
timistc at moment when such pas
siors are aroused, such naval and mill
itary operations are going on, and
when the current of public sentiment
seems to be that war is inevitable. l
cannot say that I base my view that
peace will prevail upon any direct or
official information. On the contrary
ii is my Individual judgment, based
solely upon the conviction that in these
enlightened days two self respecting
uations, made up of men and women OF
high aspirations and noble instincts can
uot and will not resort to that last
and brutal expedient of war.
Il would be TOO wanton, too
criminal, too offensive to all the die
tates of civilization and christianity for
-uch an awful consequence to be
brought about. To be sure l cannot
cioss my eyes to certain obvious cir
substances existing both here and in
spain. At times these have inclined
me to share the popular view that the
were fast approaching an irreconcilable
issue. And yet at no time has it seemed
10 me, nor does it seem to me now,
that that issue has progressed beyond
the bounds of reasonable and just
settlement, alike honorable to both gov
erpmenis. Consider for moment
some of the elements of this present
crisis" the Minister went on, speaking
with much vigor. "Can it be possible
that your people will consider only one
side of the case ? Let US for q moment
admit that there are too sides to this
case. There are always too sides to
case, and is it just or fair or chivalrous
lor your people, borne on by their
strong and innate patriotism, TO say,
We are right, Spain is wrong. that
ends it?' In a spirit of simple justice
WHY will not this disposition yield for
moment to calm consideration of both
sides of the case, including some of
those factors which are vital and es.
sential to Spain ? Cuba has been q
colony OF Spain from time immemorial-
from the time of the discovery by
Christopher Columbus--and as part
of Spain there is clustered about it q
reverence almost sacred. Cuba is re.
garded by our people just as you regard
one of the States OF your union. What
would be said if some foreign power
said to the United States that Illinois
or Texas or California must be free and
independent of the United States. To
be sure your press tells of brutal saw
agery existing in Cuba. But give you
my, word that this savagery does not
exist at all, that all reliable reports.

RECENT convert to 6libusterism

A RECENT convert to 6libusterism
among the Washington newspapers, OF
this mornings date, says the Presidents
war message though written and sign
cd, cannot be sent to Congress to-day,
for the reason that "before it is Of
ficially made public, Consul Lee and al
other Americans must be out of Cuba
to save their lives" That the faith Of
q new convert is strong indeed is pro-
verbal. The lives of Consul Lee and
other Americans would be just as safe,
after az before o declaration of war
with Spain, as would be those of the
Spanish consuls and other Spaniards in
this country, that is, OF course, if they
should continue to observe the laws OF
Cuba, until they could return to their
homes, or longer, if such should be
their desire. One great trouble with
the majority of the people of this coun'
try is their foolish belief that those OF
other countries are not just as civilized
and christianized and as moral as they
are. If they would travel more and
become better informed, their opinion
of their own superiority would under
90 great change.

From Madrid

MADRID, April 5.-Inner political cir
cles regard the situation as critical. Up
to Q o'clock last night the Spanish gov
eminent had not replied 10 the final
proposition of the United States, which
was presented yesterday afternoon.
There is still much confusion and dis
cussion in regard to the initiative of the
Papal Intervention. The only srgyes
tions made to Spain are those which
Minister Woodford presented at last
Tuesdays conference. The Sranish
government announces that the United
States government has never asked for
or suggested the mediation of the Pope,
and regret is expressed that a misnnder.
Standing should have arisen. There IL
great activity in al the departments
here, apparently indicating that i'm
portant events are imminent. The
Austrian Ambassador, Count Dubskv,
had an interyfew with General Wood
ford at II o'clock last night

In the Interest ofPeace.

Rome states that the Pope 70 "disap-
pointed at the reception of his over
lures in America, but is hot discourag.
ed" The dispatch adds: "This morn.
ing the Pope cabled FIVE hundred words
to Archbishop Ireland, urging increas-
ed efforts in the interest of peace and
F.! further immediate representations to
President Mckinley. An important
conference has been called for this
afternoon. Archbishop Keane and
Mgr. O'Connell will attend"
ROME, April 5.-The Pope's initiative
is based wholly on the fact that Spaii
when she asked for the good oliic.s ii
the powers. also asked Tor the Popes
good Offices. The interposition of the
Dontiff has thus far been confined 10
efforts to bring about an armistice be-
tween Spain and the insurgents.
II is authoritatively said that the
Pope's proposed terms are such as can
be accepted by Spain and supported by
United States Minister Wocdford, in
forwarding them to President McKin-
ley.
MADRID, April 5.-The minister of
foreign affairs. Senior Gullon, in an in
terview just obtained said the Spanish
government is expecting the speedy
arrival of note from the Vatican, in
which the Pope would indicate the
plan he proposes to terminate the pre-
sent situation.
LONDON, April 5.-The movement OF
the powers of Europe for joint oher
of mediation between the United
States and Spain has received severe,
and probably fatal, rebuff in the form
of definite refusal upon the part Of
the British government to participate
in it.
1t is understood that the tenor of
these communications was to the effect
that European interests are threatened
by what Spain terms "the pretensioDs
of the United States to the right to in.
terfere in colonial matters" France is
believed to have been the prime mover
in the scheme.
Many conflicting and erroneous hints
regarding this scheme to bring the
, Disqualification quarrel under the
Jurisdiction of the concert of Europe
have been telegraphed from the diGel-
ent European capitals. From the high
est authorities the Associated Press has
obtained an outline of the details of the
movements, as learned by London
diplomates. The project is distinctive
ly of Spanish origin and was set on foot
by two influences, official and personal,
the former requesting the good Offices
of the chs ncelleries of Europe to pre-
vent war, while the Queen Regent At
tempted personally to influence the
sovereigns.
LONDON, April ga special dis
patch from Rome says q telegram re-
ceived at the Vatican from the United
States has announced the failure of the
Pope's,intervention. 1t says that Pres
ident Mckinley showed himself ex-
tremely sensible of the initiative taken
by the pontitf, but it was impossible
for him to overcome the prejudice en-
tertained by majority of the Amer
can people against the Vatican'5 intel
vention in political affairs.

The prescriptive rule in such cases, not

treat with those resisting its authority
until they lay down their arms; but in
the one referred to, Snain not only
agrees to treat with them, but has con-
