SPANISH AFFAIRS.

At meeting of the Spanish cabinet
held in Madrid yesterday, fresh pro-
posals to the United States, it is re-
ported, were decided upon. The ma
ture of the new proposals is said to be
conciliatory. A member of the Span
ish cabinet is quoted as saying: II
firmly believe peace is assured. Spain,
in note drawn up personally by Sa.
gasta, has made enormous concessions.
10 the hope of assuring peace she has
given way in every possible manner,
only drawing the line where her dig.
nifty as a nation has been violated.
The minister of public works said the
last twenty-four hours had brought q
favorable change in the situation.
When asked if this was on account OF
the news from Washington he replied :
''No. Our feelings of satisfaction do
not refer to the United States"
1t is stated that the Spanish ambas
sador to the vatican is working hard at
Rome with the object of obtaining ar
bitration.
In the United States Senate yesterday
the resolution calling upon the Presi-
dent for the reports Of American con-
suls in Cuba on the condition of the re-
concentrates was recommitted to the
committee on foreign relations.
The committee of republican mem
bers of the House who called upon
President Mckinley yesterday were
told that the President expected deci.
sive action from Spain within 4S hours,
and that pending the conclusion Of the
negotiation the House should not take
any action. The President made full
statement of all that he had demanded
from Spain, and concluded with the
remark Il pray God we may be able
to keep peace" The committee car
ried away the impression that the Pres.
ident did not believe there would be q
peaceful adjustment of the differences.
The Senate committee on f3reign re-
lations had two sessions yesterday. In
the afternoon Captain Sigsbee went be-
fore the committee and explained certain
matters connected with the Maine dis
aster that didn't appear in his testimony.
The Senate committee, it is stated, ls
prepared to report resolution for the
independence of Cube, vi b such inter.
vention by the United States as will in
sure independence. No action will be
taken before Monday unless the Presi-
dent should express desire for earlier
action. The House foreign affairs COM
mittee has also decided to wait on the
President.
The Queen Regent of Spain. it is reported
made personal appeal to Queen Victoria 10
