When the latest Washington advices
reached the fleet the enthusiasm was
very great. The officers maintained
their usual silence, but were clearly
gratitied, while the men made no effort
to conceal their satisfaction. AS re-

yond the influence Of diplomacy, and
confirmation is given to this by the
fact that the local Spanish consul yes
tcrday turned his affairs over to Mr..
Taylor, the British consul, and that the
Spanish vice consul, who also repre-
scnts Italy, has transferred those spe-
ciql interests to Mr.. Taylor.

Golden Text I'VE behold His glory,

Altar the disciples realized that Jesus
was their promised King, He began to
show them hat he must be killed, and be
raised again the third day. But they
could not understand such things Of their
King, and Peter began ty rebuke him,
saying, Lord, this shall not be-" and
Jesus answered him. "Got thee behind Ne,
Sainn."
Asall their hope of the kingdom Of
Israel. and their Messiah. would end with
His death it seemed necessary to confirm
their hope by Vision OF Heaven, attasted
by u Voice. Aud Jesus said to them,
"'ri ere be some standing here, which
silnlI not taste Of death, till they SEQ the
Son of man coming in His Kingdom
Then after six days, or eight including
the day OF His talk with them and the day
on the mountain, He took Peter and

this wonderful scene; and how Peter,

about them, and listen to the Fathers
voice from out of the cloud, "rhis is Ny

and be not afraid" and looking up they
saw no man, but Jesus only.
They were forbidden to cell what they
has seen and heard until after HIS Resur-
recton, and even this glimpse of the
kingdom did not make them understand
His death, nor His Resurrection, until
they had seen Him go into Heaven, and
the angels had promised that He would

For His return, the whole sin creation

BITTERNESS IN MADRID,

Senior Sagasta Very Much Disguised
y. with the Presidents Message. a
- London, April 13.-The Madrid corre-
spondent of The Daily Mail telegraphs
as follows:
'The message has produced a very
deep and bitter impression. Many
friends of the cabinet share in the
sentiments of general discomfort. am
assured on good authority that Senor
Sagasta is very much disgusted with
the message. seeing the difficulties
ahead as consequence Of it.
THE comments In political circles
are very heated. Many people believe
the government ought to show greater
energy. Senior Moret, leading and the
most conciliatory member of the cabi-
net, is said to have expressed the
opinion that the message is not so bad
as l had anticipated
1.-THE influential press is rather re-
served in It's comments, but the i'm
preston which the message has made
on the people at large Is very unfavor-
able. They, however. appreciate the
gravity of the situation.
Notwithstanding the rumors that
the Carlists have been fomenting the
war feeling, this Is not so. They have
never expressed any sympathy with
the popular movement. On the con-
trary. their leaders have exhorted their
followers to remain quiet.
1.-THE authorities continue the mill
tary and police precautions, but 1t is
easy to see that Madrid life goes on as
usual, with its crowded bull fights,
concerts and theaters. Quite number
of foreigners have come here for the
medical congress or are returning from
the Seville holy week festivities. The
news aspect of affairs has caused no
slackening in the naval and military
preparations, which have been pushed
with vigor, regardless of expenditures.
1.-The cortes will meet In less than O.
fortnight, and will be asked to vote
considerable credits. Should the strain
ed relations with America increase a
royal decree will be Immediately issued
to convoke the cortes before April rs.
the date originally fixed. This is quite
possible under the constitution, as the
members of the senate and the lower
chamber have been already elected in
the peninsula and in the West Indies.
1.-THE conservatives say they consider
1t loyal and patriotic to stand by the
queen regent and government in every
thing conducive to peace and a defense
of the Spanish rights in Cuba. Finan-
cial interests also side with the cabi-
net but it cannot be denied that pop
ular feeling and military and naval
discomfort are serious and must be
handled without playing into the hands
of INSCRIPTIONS and ambitious agita-
tors.

last night gave its first impressions

stracts of President Mckinley's mes
sage 1t says: president McKinley's
insistence on the right of American in

prolongation Of the war appear to i'm
