Spanish Papers Take Less Hope
full View of the Situation.
CIRCULAR TO The POWERS BY SPAIN
A Report that Spain May give Up Cuba
After Fight to Save Her Honor
Looking After senior Polo
Bernabe.

MADRID, April 27.-The general tone
of the evening papers bears out the
opinion that the war will be long
one. As Senior Silvela, leader of the
dissident conservatives, has said, Spain
has already lost the material advan-
tages resulting from the possession of
Cuba, but will fight to the last on
the question of maintaining the flag.
The result of defeat, as Senior
Silvela puts IL, will only mean
n loss of what has already gone,
since Europe would not allow
any army of occupation in Spain pend
ing the payment of war indemnity.
The conservative leader says: ut daily
becomes clearer that America has
Numbered into a war that will be dis
astrous and expensive to her, what
ever the outcome. The fault lies with
the lingo papers in urging Ameri-
can statesmen beyond the bounds
of reasonable demands of good
government for Cuba. Ameri-
ca is justified on that point,
but not justified beyond" 1t is argued
that the war must be disastrous to the
true interests of the United States.
Spain intends to prolong it until Eu-
ropean interests are involved and the
powers are compelled to intervene in
self-defense, or until the expected con-
migration of Europe against Anglo
Saxon domination is brought about"
Spain's determination TO set the world
ablaze rather than to withdraw from
the conflict dishonored is very marked.
A CIRCULAR TO THE POWERS.
MADRID, April 27.-The Spanish gov
eminent yesterday sent circular to
the powers, experimenting its circular
of April Is and expressing regret at
the "hard necessity of being compelled
to appeal TO force in order to repel the
scandalous aggression of the United
States and defend the national dignity
and historic integrity of the father
land Continuing, the circular says:
"History presents very few instances
wherein the reason is SO evident on
one part and the outrage so undis-
guised on the other. Spain has on her
side right, correct procedure and pru-
dence, while the United States has on
her side only disloyalty and the inn
pulse of unbridled ambitions.
SPAIN MAY GIVE UP CUBA.
LONDON, April 27.--The Vienna COR
respondent of the Standard says: ut
is probably due to a complete under
standing reached between Count Go
luchowski, the Austro- Hungarian for
eign minister, and Prince Hohenlohe,
the German chancellor. that all the
inspired organs of the Vienna foreign
office are propagating the idea that,
after the first serious encounter be-
tween Spain and the United States, the
intervention of the powers will bring
the war to close. The intervention
would consist of recommendation
that Spain should give MP Cuba, after
having saved her honor
LOOMING AFTER sESoR roLo.
LONDON, April 25.-ln the house of
commons yesterday Mr. James +, lIo-
gan, anti-Parnellite member for the
middle division of Tipperary, asked
the government leader, Mr.. A. j. Bal
four first lord of the treasury and act
ing secretary of state for foreign af-
fairs, whether Senior Polo Bernabe,
the former Spanish minister at Wash
ington, who is now in Canada, is at
liberty to use Toronto as base for
supplying Spain with information,
and whether there is any foundation
for the suggestion that Senior Polo is
accredited to the whole of America,
north of the equator. and that he has
thereby acquired definite status in
Canada.
