UNDER PRESSURE BY SPAIN.

London, April 2S.-A sensation has been caused by the action of Portugal in stopping the transmission of tele- graphic news as far as the public is concerned regarding the movements of warships in Portuguese ports, as it reveals the hitherto scarcely concealed fact that Portugal is doing everything possible to aid Spain.
 The decision of the Portuguese government today is undoubtedly in response to the pressure brought to bear upon her by Spain, and the sole object of the order it is believed is to prevent news of the departure of the Spanish fleet from being cabled from St. Vincent.
