THE PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ADVISED.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-The presi-
dent has received advices and informa-
ton which make him hopeful that war
between the United States and Spain
may be averted and an outcome of the
Cuban situation secured that will be
satisfactory to the people of the United
States. The matter has not yet pro-
crossed to a state that makes it safe to
state this as more than a possibility,
but the disposition manifested the last
two days by the Spanish government
gives ground for an expectation that it
will yield on vital points.
There has been a tremendous pres.
sure brought to pear on Madrid from
almost, if not all, influential quarters
in Europe, and the queens influence
on the government, it is believed, will
be exerted to the end that peace may
prevail.
At the Spanish legation at . O'Clock

reports whatever had been received
there indicating trouble at Madrid.
