DEMONSTRATION
In the Streets of Madrid in Favor Of the
Army and Against the Government.
Demonstrators Visit the Military Club
and the Omcss of tn. Liberal
Newspapers-Ther Were Nu.
merOus Arrests.

MADRID, April 1.-THE Puerta del
Sol is now densely packed. A large
body of police is drawn up near the
Hotel de Paris, where the civil govern.
or of Madrid is dining Occasionally
the cry viva Espana," is raised and
re-echoed by a thousand voices. The
correspondent of press association
saw one arrest. A respectable looking
individual was brought to the hotel
doorway, where he asked to be loosed
from physical custody, promising to
accompany the police quietly.
Senior Aguilera, the civil governor,
resumed his interrupted dinner. But
fresh cries arose, and the burly. good
tempered governor rushed into the
thickest of the mob, brandishing a
stick, but hitting nobody.
Senior Aguilera is man of
gigantic proportions and the
best loved individual in Mad
rid. The manifestants scuttled in
all directions before his shillelagh,
producing comic effect and reducing
the disturbance to it's true propor-
tions. The police are acting admira-
bly, and the military are kept in re-
serve at the barracks in case of an
emergency. Should there be more be-
meath the surface than appears, praise
is due for the precautions taken.
At 1l:1O p. m. demonstrations con-
tinued in favor of the army and against
the government. The demonstrators
have visited the Military club and the
offices of the liberal newspapers.
There have beenenumerous arrests and
many of the demonstrators have been
injured.
At 1890 p. m. q large crowd was still
parading the Puerto Del Sol, crying
"Long live Spain,' and Long live the
army" The civil governor of Mad
rid is among them, promenading up
and down, begging them to disperse
peacefully.
The crowd, relying on the kind
heartedness of the governor. whom the
population of Madrid adores, refuses
to disperse, and is bent on visiting the
| Military club to make demonstration
of sympathy. The authorities pro
hibit the formation of groups in front
of the Military club, the presidency
or the American legation. Gen
Castelvi was offered at the Military
club banner to head the demonstra
tion; but he refused, alleging that thu
crowd was composed of the dregs o
the city. Several of the ringleader
have been arrested, the civil governor
threatening to call out the civic guard
If the crowds do not disperse."

Did You Make Your Grain.O This Way =?

Here are the latest directions: Use one
tablespoonful of Grain.O to two cups of
cold water. Mix the Grain.O with half
an egg and add the water. BE sure to
measure.) After the water gets to the
boiling point let boil for fifteen or TWEEN
ty minutes. Use cream and sugar to
suit the taste. If you have not cream
use hot milk.
A lady said: "The first time drank
Grain o did not like ii, but after using
it for ten DAYS and forming the habit,
nothing would induce me to 60 back to
coffee" This is the experience of all.
If you will follow directions, measure it
every time and make it the same, and
try it for ten days, you will not 10 back

FAREWELL CRY

OF the Havana Crowd to Gen. Lee and the
Americans as They Sailed From the Har-
bor Was: acct Out, You Yankee Swine!" "
KEY WEST, Fla, April II. As the
Fern, with Gen. Lee and the Americans
was leaving Havana harbor Saturday
evening, the. wharves and boats on
both sides of the narrow entrance to
the harbor were crowded with Span
iards, who hissed and jeered as each
boat passed out. As the Fern rounded
to, heading for the open sea, she passed
near the Maine wreck. The group on
deck had been laughing and talking
expressing their satisfaction at leaving
Havana. With one accord each man
dotted his hat in salute of the brave
dead, while silence fell on all the space
of several minutes. Gen. Lee being on
board the Fern made the boat target
for redoubled Misses, groans, cat calls
and whistles from the crowds on
shore. "Get out, Yankee swine"
was one of the mildest expressions
used. This seemed to strike every one
on board as ludicrous. Vice Consul
Springer, who had been on the island
80 years, waved his hand to a particu-
larly abusive group, saying, in tones
loud enough for all to hear, "Wait,
wait, my friends, we shall all be back
soon,"

ARMISTICE MEANS NOTHING.
Gen. Correa, Spanish Minister Of War, Lets
tho Cat Out of the Bag.

Gen. Correa, Spanish Minister Of War, Lets
the Cat Out of the Bag.
MADRID, April 11.-El Imparcial says
that Lieut.. Gen. Correa, minister of
war, in o conversation Saturday with
several people expressed himself as
follows:
sit is an error to say that the gov
ernment has granted an armistice to
the rebels. l would never give that
before leaving the ministry, because
it would be the same thing as recog-
nizing the belligerency of the rebels.
The government has granted the
wishes of the powers that we should
cease hostilitics during the day which
Gen. Blanco judges prudent for pre-
pairing peace. l acceded to cessation
of hostilities, because to refuse the
wishes of the powers would be to di-
vorce Spain from the world. If l left
the cabinet / should be placing my
successor in an awkward position.
''Gen. Blanco will probably publish
a proclamation of truce, and also an
other offering indulgent terms during
the cessation of hostilities. If, during
this period, there are important sub.
missions and the United States with-
draws its ships from the neighbor-
hood of Cuba and the Philip
pines, all will be we'll and peace
will soon be reached. Otherwise
the Cuban war will continue, and
the powers will be obliged to demand
that the United States maintain abso-
lutte neutrality and enforce dissolu
ton of the filibustering committee in
New York. The armistice is not to
prevent the Spanish government con-
tinuing its military preparations, and
placing the peninsula, the Canaries
the Belaeric islands and Puerto Rice
in state of defense"

THE AMBAssADORs A

Of Five Great Powers Advise spain to Give
Extreme Concessions to the United
states.
NEW YORK, April 11.-A dispatch to
the World from Madrid says:
The am mbassadors of five great Eu-
ropean powers-France, Russia, Italy,
Germany and Austria - have diplo-
maticafly informed the government of
Spain that war with the United States
can only be avoided. in their judg-
ment, by Spain yielding.
The ambassadors of Europe have
advised extreme concessions to the
United States They appealed to
Spain's pride, noble self-sacrifce and
self-interest They meant that she
must abandon Cuba
The ambassadors of the same powers
called upon President Mckinley in
Washington, in the interests of peace
as matter of form. There was posi-
bly, no expectation, no hope. that the
United States would recede one inch
from it's one vital demand-that Spain
must give up Cuba.
But the powers may have felt that as
they were about to use coercion in
Madrid it would be dirl rlomatic to make
| demonstration in Washington at the
same time.
There is reason to believe that the
| powers have made extraordinary
propositions to Spain. They have said
in effect that if she should make such
concession to the United States as
they believed to be necessary, the
powers of Europe would guarantee her
against war, both external and in
| ternal
The powers would delegate to one of
their own number, Austria, whose
throne is closely allied to that of Spain
| by ties of blood, the duty of defend
ing Spain against any internel foes
that might arise, as a menace to the
dynasty, as result of yielding to the
demands of the United States.
| In plain English this means that
Austrian troops would, if necessary,
be sent to Spain to maintain order and
to suppress civil war. The Austrian
troops would have behind them the
allied moral and physical forces OF
Europe.
The papal nuncio, who has been re-
peatedly to the palace in the last "a
hours, is believed to be in sympathy
with this programme.

KEY WEST, Fla, April 11.-"You
