ROYAL PEACE DECREE
Basis of an ArmiStice in
Cuba Arranged
BY PRESSURE OF THE POWERS
Mrs. WoodfOrd and Other Americans
Leave Madrid-A Ministerial
Crisis Imminent

Madrid, April S.-The hope of reach
ing a peaceful settlement with the
United States is growing stronger. It
is reported that the basis of an armis-
tice in Cuba has been arranged. If
this be true, a royal decree will appear
in the gazettee tomorrow or the next
day announcing the conclusion Of an
armistice.
The Vizcaya and Almirante Oquen-
do will await orders at Porto Rico.
A cabinet council is now in session,
and it IS believed the deliberations are
of very important nature. but the
ministers maintain absolute reserve.
M. Patenotre, the French ambassador,
visited United States Minister Wood
ford this afternoon.
The official statement that affairs
have taken pacific turn has not yet
become generally known, and public
opinion remains excited. The bourse
declined heavily, owing to the belief
that there is dissension in the cabinet,
which, however, the ministerial sup.
porters absolutely deny.
Official advices say President Nc
Kinley's message to congress will not
advise the recognition of the independ-
ence of the insurgents, but will recon-
mend measures looking toward the i'm
mediate cessation of hostilities and the
restoration of peace and stability OF
government in Cuba, in the interest OF
humanity and the safety and tranquil
ity of the United States.
Mrs. Woodford, wife of the United
States minister, accompanied by her
niece and Lieutenant L. q. Dyer, the
United States naval attache, left to-
night by the O'Clock train for Biar-
ritz. General Woodford babe them
farewell at the station. Considerable
surprise is expressed at their departure,
sin view of the settlement" but Miss
Woodford remains, and it is explained
that the others will return. The staff
of the United States legation has left
Madrid, and will probably remain in
Paris for the present. Arrangements
have been concluded to place through
out the country under protection Of
British diplomatic representatives, in
case Minister WoodfOrd is compelled tC
leave.
Washington's reply to the last sug.
gestion of General Woodford by which
it is understood here an, honorable
peace satisfactory to both countries can
be secured, was received at Madrid dur
ing the night. Its contents have not
been divulged.

Cuba Demands Recognition.

New York, April 8.-The Cuban
junta, through its counsel, Horatio S.
Rubens, made an important official
statement today. 1t declares in the
most unequivocal language that the
Cuban provisional government and the
Cuban army would refuse absolutely
Intervention by the United States,
unless it should be preceded by rec
ignition of the independence of the
Cuban republic; that if the United
States persisted in intervening without
recognition of Cuban independence, the
Cuban government and the military
forces would refuse to cooperate; and
that if the United States troops should
be sent to Cuba, upon the basis OF in
tervention without independence, the
Cuban army would as a last resort turn
it's arms against the United States.

In the Enemy's Country.

Havana, April 8.-News has been
received here from reliable source
that General Calixto Garcia, after des-
ultory fighting with General Pando in
the province of Puerto Principe, has
evaded Pando, and with 5000 men has
reached the Miron Juacaro trocha.
Many of his men are cavalry.
It is believed that by this time Gem
eral Garcia has crossed the trocha in
the vicinity of the plantation San
Nicholas and been joined by General
Gomez, and that the combined forces.
making fully 1000 men, are now en-
route for the provinces Of Matanzas and
Havana on the long threatened raid for
which arrangements were made by the
messengers from General Gomez sent
westward prior to the conference in
which the autonomista sought to induce
General Garcia and other insurgent
leaders to surrender.

WAR CANNOT az AvERTEp
'Onless Spain surrsndsrs Cubs and
Backs Down.

Washington, April e.-The Post
says that unless Spain, within 4S hours,
yields BY surrendering Cuba, war can
not be averted. 1t sums up the situa.
ton as follows:
President McKinley's message to
congress will be a ringing, vigorous
document that promises to meet the
full expectation of congress and the
people. It will be scathing arraign-
ment Of Spain, showing that she has
demonstrated her utter incapacity to
govern; that her colonies have de-
clined in population as the result Of
misrule and oppression; that American
commerce has been damaged and Amer.
lean lives and property imperiled, and
that existing conditions should and
will not be tolerated by this govern
ment.
The destruction of the battle-ship
Maine and the slaughter Of 268 officers
and seamen serving under the United
States flag will be commented upon in
strong language, and Spain will be held
responsible for that disaster. The pres
ident will make no direct recommends
ton, but his message will point clearly
to the necessity of armed intervention.
to restore order and peace. He will
not recommend the recognition of the
independence Of the island, because the
insurgents have no established form OF
government, and the president and
cabinet believe that a travesty would
be presented to the world if following
the recognition of independence of the
island the United States should, as a
result Of war, take the independence
away by Selling and annexing the
island.
The Presidents message will be
equivalent to declaration of war, and
hostilities can now only be averted by
Spain yielding all.
Pope Leo XIII is mediating between
Spain and Cuba. The efforts of his
holiness have already resulted in an
appeal from Spain to the insurgents
through the autonomist cabinet for an
armistice pending an agreement for
peace and independence. 1t is learned
that his holiness has represented to
Spain that it is the part of wisdom to
make every possible concession, even tn
surrendering the island absolutely,
rather than 90 to war with the United
States, which would inevitably result
in the loss Of Cuba and other Spanish
colonies, and at the same time endanger
the dynasty.
The United States has ceased all
negotiations, and will not accept media
ton. The administration and congress
see no alternative but war.

Mines in Havana Harbor.

New York, April GA dispatch to
the World from Havana says: Forty
floating submarine mines were secretly
planted in Havana harbor last Wednes-
day night by the Spanish government.
This information comes from official
sources and is absolutely correct. The
mines contain sufficient force there to

Madrid Awaits the Inevitable

London, April S.-A dispatch from
Madrid says the situation there today
is one of expectancy. The government
and the public are anxiously awaiting
President McKinley's message to con-

The prevalent opinion among govern
ment officials is that peaceful sOlu.

Americans Are Safely Out Of Cuba.
Washington, April SIT can be
stated authoritatively that after con-
ference with the members of the for
eign affairs committee of both houses,
the president has decided not to send
in his message until Monday.
The cause of this decision was dis

ceived at the state department this
morning, saying that it would be i'm
possible to get all the Americans safely
out of Cuba before Sunday.

ENGLAND Stands by Us.

London, April Son the highest
authority it can be announced that the
British government has assured the
United States of its fullest and most
cordial sympathy in carrying out its
Cuban policy. This assurance was
given with the most complete knowl-
edge of the latest developments in the
negotiations between the United States
and Spain, and on the understanding
that events are tending strongly to-
wards armed intervention in Cuba.

Washington, April THE presi-
dents message recommends armed in
tervention-but, 80 far as known. with
out stating that this should be imme-
diate-by the United States, to prevent
hostilities and afford such assistance as
is possible to the starving people. It
makes an argument against recognition
Of independence at this time, and
leaves it clear that, in the opinion Of
the administration it Is the duty Of this
government to supervise the affairs Of
the island until in the light of fuller
and later knowledge a stable govern
ment can be established. The attitude
of congress in this policy cannot be
foretold in advance Of it's official pro-
mitigation in the presidents message
The day has been prolific Of reports
of mediation on the part of the Euro
pean powers, but summary of all the
news on this point is that the powers
Of Europe cannot agree, and that their
interference would be unacceptable to
the government of the United States.
The safety of General Lee, of the
consuls and other Americans in Cuba is
a matter of concern to the state depart
ment, but advices from General Lee in
dictate the transportation of all Ameri
cans from Cuba would take some time,
and apparently show that he does not
share fully in the apprehension felt

Want Peace at Any Price.

Members of congress are receiving
scores of kilograms from bankers and
corporations appealing to them to sus-
tain the "wise peace policy" of the
president. Many of the kilograms are
couched in practically the same Ian
guage, showing they are inspired from
the same source. This pressure is Wig
orously resented by the members.
There have been no further negotia-
tions with Madrid, but the president
has kept in close touch with Minister
Woodford and General Lee.
Assistant Secretary Adee, the cipher
expert, was present this evening, and
messages passed, but of their source or
tenor nothing was given out.
The administration confessed anxiety
as to the situation in Havana, and con-
slant communication is kept up with
General Lee, in fear Of possible out.

SPAlN'S GAME EXPOSED.
Talk of Armistice Was to Secure RI
mOval Of Key West Fleet.

Talk of Arm1St1co was to Secure Re-
moval Of Key West Fleet.
Washington, April 1.-THE state.
ment was made today by public man
in close touch with the administration
that the effort to secure settlement Of
the war between Spain and the insur-
gents through an armistice has come to
q definite conclusion, and. that the fail
ure was due to the refusal of the gov
eminent of the United States TO re-
move it's feet from Key West. Accord
ing to this statement, Spain made the
removal condition precedent to her

view of granting the independence OF
Cuba. This proposition was met with
refusal. though not until after it had
been seriously considered.
The congressional opponents Of q
war policy, who had counted upon the
acceptance of this condition by the
United States, admit that the outlook
for peace has grown almost hopeless
since this determination.
Some diplomats have suggested a
meeting of representatives in Washing
ton of the European powers, in order
to see if something cannot be done to
preserve peace. It is felt by diplo-
mats who desire even mediation that
any move must be made quickly.
Archbishop Ireland called at the
state department today, and was imme-
diately conducted to Judge Days room.
At noon Judge Day said there had been
offered no mediation or Intervention by

TROUBLE HEAPING UP
Spain Is Now in a Dispute
With Germany
OVER THE CANNAMABA AFFAIR
Warship on the Way to Cuba to En-
force the EmperOr's Demands
Sentiment Changing.

Berlin. April 5.-The sentiment in
Germany in Official and unofficial cir
cles ealry today was that the Spano-
American crisis had veered considerably
during the course of the week, and is
now decidedly more favorable to the
United States. This, it is asserted, is
partly due to the moderation Of Presi-
dent Mckinley and the conservative
manner in which the United States
minister, General Woodford, has dealt
with the authorities at Madrid, and
partly to the bitterness engendered by
the alleged attack of a band of insur.
gents upon the German sugar re6neries
at Cannamba, in the Trinidad district
of the province of Santa Clara, Cuba,
and the murder of four persons connect
ed with the refinery, March Is, which
has taught Germany that Spain is I'M
able to protect even the lives of for
eigners in Cuba.
AS previously announced, the Ger
man foreign Office is demanding full
and immediate redress for this outrage,
and German warship will soon be sent
to Havana if satisfaction is not forth
coming in short order. The Spanish
ambassador here, Senior Mendez de
vigo, has had lengthy conferences
with Baron Won Bulow, the German
minister Of foreign affairs, who con-
WINGED the ambassador that Germany
intended to have complete satisfaction,
including an indemnity for the prop.
erty destroyed and for the lives taken.
The ambassador was also informed
that, unless the redress was forth
coming. Germany would herself act.
secure damages and punish the Offend
ers. As an incentive to quick repara-
ton, Baron Won Bulow added that pro-
visional orders had been cabled to the
commander of the German warship
Gier to sail in the direction of Cuba.
The Spanish ambassador promised that
he would exert himself to the utmost
to comply with the German demands.
The newspapers here are also chang
ing their tone, and now concede in the
main the justice Of the American de-
mands, acknowledging that Washington
has acted with the moderation which
many another government would not
have shown under similar circum-
stances.
Three of the papers eulogized Presi-
dent McKinley's calm statesmanship
and express confidence that whatever
he ultimately decides will be directed
nv Soma oOOd reason
The United States ambassador, An
drew D. White, in an interview said
that thus far, acting under instructions
from Washington, he has not formally
inquired of the German government
what it's attitude would be in the event
of war. He had, nevertheless, been
repeatedly assured informally by Baron
Won Bulow that Germany would in no
case assume an unfriendly attitude to-
ward the United States, nor join in
any possible combination of the powers
having that end in view.
In regard to Emperor Williams per-
sonal views, Mr.. White says his ma
jesty has been grossly misrepresented
by tho foreign press. The emperor has
repeatedly given Mr.. White to under
stand that he felt most favorably dis
posed toward the United States in this
crisis.

Havana, April 8.-There is great en-
thusiasm among the Spaniards here
and thousands are entering the battal-
ions of the volunteers. The Spaniards
say they prefer to fight great nation
than.a small one, as they would rather
die as heroes than live as towards.
They add that Spain has always had a
special providence in great conflicts.
In spite of this seemingly brave shout
ing many have already withdrawn
their money from the Bank of Spain.
