M'KINLEY HAS
 CALLED TWO NOTES To Minister Woodford on the
 Maine Matter. NOT DEMAND INDEMNITY Spain's Reply Asserts the Intention of That Government Not to Tolerate Any Step
 Intended to Overthrow Span
 kh Rule in Cuba.

New York, March 26.-A dispatch to the World from Madrid says:
 President Mckinley has cabled. two notes to Spain this week through Minister Wood ford. One deals with the destruction of the Maine, the other with President Me- Kinley's plan of Humanitarian intervention by the United States in the Cuban war Both notes are expressed in strong, firm language, without suggestion of threat They are, perhaps, merely preliminary
 For the destruction of the Maine the president demands no indemnity. He merely acquaints the Madrid government with the facts that the naval court of inquiry finds that the ship was blown up in Havana har Dor by an external agency and that noth- ing but a mine torpedo of the largest size could have wrought such destruction The president submits the facts to the Spanish government and waits reply.
 Did Not Demand Early Response
 MT. Woodford did not even demand an early response As to the war in China, President Mckinley advised the Spanish government in the politest tones that the time is fast drawing near when the United States would be compelled to act upon the warnings so often given to Spain since the struggle in Cuba began.
 spain was reminded by Minister Wood ford that the action of the president and his representatives during the present and late administration was and has been aimed at the preservation of peace and the promo ton of cordial relations with Spain. The reports of the United States consuls, like those of the agents of all European coun- tries who have had an opportunity to in- quire have been most unfavorabe to Spain. MT Mckinley signifies to the government of Spain his intention of communicating all the facts in his possession respecting Cuba and the Maine report, probably also to congress He further contemplates steps which will make the distribution of relief by the United States to the Cubans more effective and upon much larger scale
 Will Not Tolerate Inyasion
 The Spanish reply asserts the intention of Spain not to tolerate any invasion of Spanish rights or any step intended to lead to the overthrow of the Spanish rule in Cuba. Spain deprecates sending wholesale reief in the manner suggested by President Mckinley on tn ground that it will encour- age tine rebels (separaists is the term em- ployed) even if it does not lead to actual conflict between the authorities of the United States and Spain.

FRANCE WANTS
 PEACE TO REIGN Minister ofForeign Affairs Speaks on Cuban Question. PRAISES INSURGENT VALOR He Hopes for an Amicable Adjustment of the Differences Between the Two Nations
 Which Are Equally Dear
 to France.
PRAISES INSURGENT VALOR

Paris, March 26.-In the chamber of dep- uties today M Groussot, socialist, made a sweeping criticism of the foreign policy of the government
 NJ. Baron, speaking in support of M. Grousset, introduced the Cuban question. He said: France cannot remain indffer- ent to the Spanish-American conflict and the monstrous encroachment of the Anglo Saxon race on the Latin race. It is the duty of France to approach Spain and the United States with words of conciliation and peace"
 M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs, replying to M Baron, said the negotiations with England regarding West Africa were proceeding favorably.
 Will Not Be Backward
 .TIowever necessary the defense of our own interests may be, 1t is subordinate to the importance of the grave difficulty which the Cuban question has presented so long, The whole world is following with emotion and anxiety the varying fortunes of the conflict proceeding in Cuba and the whole world only hopes for it's speedy conclu- sion. The interests affected or threat ened and the courage and perseverance dis
  matic trend of events in that island. The chamber knows the sympathy and esteem which the United States inspires. On one hand we have ancient and faithful reia- tions, good neighborly feelings, afffnities of race and interests and finally the re- spect with which patriotism of heroic nation naturally inspires us. On the oth- CT hand we have a powerful republic, sister of our own, full of ardor and con- fident of her valor, who demands that an immediate end be put to evils in which she herself has shared and which have lasted a. very long time. Such is the con- fiict wherein both interests and honor are involved. Our first duty is unceasingly to express to the two nations the desire of all that sangunary and formidable fight be avoided.
 With Emotion and Anxiety
 "If these two parties with common &C., cord are endeavoring to find sure and inn partial fraiends to help them in the anlica- ble arrangement of so grave a question, they will see that all well intentioned peo- pie are lending themselves to the desire and we will not be backward. But it would be going beyond the reserve imposed upon us to go further than this. l can here, at least only renew the expression of our most ardent wishes for an equitable solu- tion of the matter wherein right, honor and liberty may be satisfied and which will re- tons equally dear to us, the great benefit of peace" (Cheers)
 motion approving MT. Hanotaux's statements wa sadopted by vote of 300 to Ill.
