The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1898-03-26

publishes the following from it's cores
pOndent at Madrid:
have spent today discussing the So
luton of the Cuban situation with di-
rectors and editors of the chief news
papers in Madrid. The editor Of FL
HeraldO said:
7 believe we shall be forced to war.
Spain will not serve her own interests
in trying to stop war. France sympa-
thizes with us, for racial, financial and
colonial reasons. Austria is with US,
for family and mOnarchiaI reasons, and
Germany is on our side because she de-
sires neutrality in case of trouble with
France; because she does not like the
United States, and because the German
Emperor likes to be the grand defender
of the monarchy"
The editor-in-chief of the Imparcial
said:
Let war come We have not much
to lose by 1t. We certainly blame the
attitude Of England toward the United
States for egging her on. General Pr1m
wished to sell Cuba; so should we un-
der tranquil circumstances"
The director of Ell Mundo, naval
journal, said:
I'VE do not believe in the finding of
the American commission. If the Uni
ted States demands compensation, war
is inevita BILE Spain would rise like one
man against such a demand. I don't
believe either the Spanish or American
people want an international commits
sion. look forward TO war
The editOr-in-chief of the COrreSpon-
dencia said:
I'VE interpret the opinion of Spanish
people. We think the United States
has treated US shamefully; yet because
they have confidence in our govern
ment, they are willing to wait"
The Marques de VaIdeiglesias, direc-
tor of EpOca, said:
I'VE think now that Mckinley will
try to keep peace, but should war be
declared we shall accept it. To our
last man our only solution of the Cuban
problem is autonomy, and let other ma
tionS keep their hands off. In case of
war all Spanish parties will sink their
differences
The director of Ell National said:
I'VE fought for 700 years against the
Moors, and we will fight for 1000 against
the United States should she declare
the independence Of Cuba
Madrid, March 26-EI Liberal, the

has published a paragraph which is at
tracing much attention. 1t says:
''The alarmist impressions continued
late yesterday evening affecting even
official centers. The ministers saw
nothing to relieve the situation of
things. Thus at IL p. m. when a person
in confidence of the queen regent Wis
tied Senor Sagasta and had a long in
terview with him, great Importance
was attached thereto
Senior Dupuy De LONE, the former
Spanish minister to the United States
