SPANISH OPINION
As Reflected by Editorials in Leading
Papers

MADRID, March N.-La Correspondent
cia de Espana says it understands the gov
ernment Is occupied with certain new fac
tors in the situation which it believes may
give more favorable turn to events.
Ell Correo says the government Is calm
in the consciousness of having done it's
| duty and is satisfied. The foreign press has
recognized this and also the firmness with
| which Spain is resolved to defend her ma
tional right and honor. Ell Correo adds:
God knows If matters are becoming worse,
| which is possible, but the provocation is
not ours, and If scandalous and onerous re-
suits are proposed to us, the country, en-
masse, faithful to it's traditions, will repel
| them'
The Epoca says that Spain is trying to
prevent calamity and has freely made i'm
portant concessions, such as autonomy, in
order to avert it. Spain, the paper contin-
ues has not lost for single moment her
calm consideration, but she cannot con-
sent to the perpetual Intervention of Amer
leans and the American government.
Ell Heraldo declares that without the in
tervention of the United States the Cuban
insurrection would have been reduced to
mere brigandage eff the revolt continues,
says IlcidlQOp IL 10 ueCduSc Tie EeUeiS
see in America the hope of an ill-starred
morrow for Spain, and while this hope ex-
lists the insurrection will maintain suffi-
cient strength slowly to consume our blood
and money. War with the United States
represents, then, the solution of the prob
lem which we must examine with tranquil
minds"
La National says 1t waits calmly the ap-
preaching denouement.
Ell Liberal, referring to the dispatch from
Washington attributing to President Nc
Kinley decision to propose that Spain
should free Cuba for an indemnity, says:
1.-THE government may answer what 1t
pleases. the Spanish people as whole will
not deign to discuss this proposal. Spain
will go to war In fulfilling her duty, but not
for ephemeral glories or the desire of con-
quest. We may emerge vanquished, which
is somewhat doubtful, but we will never
come out dishonored."
Ell impartial says: ut is indispensable to
get ready all the elements we possess for

The semi-official Ell Globo says: "At q
time when the duration Of the war In Cubs
Is being lessened by means Of autonomy the
United States throws down the mask which
hid their ambition. In whose name are they
going to establish Intervention, and In the
cause Of what save that of revolutionary

ing up so long. this Is an inopportune time
to do So"
Ell Globo. referring to the Intervention
Of European powers, says: They will be
unable to avert q trial Of strength. but they
will soon find themselves forced to impose
reasonable limits. 1t behooves us. ,i.en,

OBTAINS NO CREDENCE
LONDON, March 27.-Count de Rascon,
the Spanish ambassador to Great Britain,
paid visit to the foreign Office at late
hour yesterday and remained three-Quar-
ters of an hour.
No credence is given whatever in we'll
informed circles to the Sunday Specials
Berlin correspondents alleged interview
with the United States ambassador, Mr..
White, at Berlin, in the course Of which
Mr.. White is made to say that Emperor
William had expressed belief that the
Maine was not destroyed from the outside
and that the German Admiral Knorr has
studied, at the emperor's direction, num-
ber of exhaustive reports cabled from Ha-
vana and had reached the conclusion that
it was due to the overheating Of the Names

was said to share.

TIME FOR ACTION
Havana Officers Notified to Prepare
for War

HAVANA (via Key West, March N.-
Last night it was persistently stated on all
legged good authority that the palace off,
cials here had received a cipher dispatch
from Madrid which in effect said: 'Pre-
pare for war" 1t is not likely that any
thing so alarming or so peremptory was
received, but it is pretty certain that inti-
nation was given that the time for evasion
or delay on the part of Spain was drawing
to a close.
There can be no question that the policy
of the United States making the destruc-
tion of the Maine merely side issue of the
graver question of the continuance Of the
inhumanity and property destruction of
the island is a disagreeable surprise to
many in high office in Cuba. They had
concluded that the dispute as to the origin
of the explosion would be indefinitely pro-
longed and finally open the way for a new
investigation in which Germany, Italy or
some other European power would take
part. Many of the best informed Spaniards
are free to say that American interference
on humanitarian grounds will be bound
to carry with 1t the passive sympathy, If
not the active, of all civilized nations since
the fact as to local conditions are no longer
in doubt in any cabinet in Christendom.
When the Mangrove arrived yesterday
the chief custom house officer at the port
OF Havana sent on board an inspector. Ac-
cording to the Mangroves officers the in
spector was particularly officious in his
examination of the vessel, opening even the
food lockers and acting as if he suspected
the Mangrove Of being a filibuster. Con-
sui General Lee was communicated with
and the inspector was removed in a hurried
response to General Lees earnest and even
indignant remonstrance

Key West at o'clock last evening, arrived
at noon today. She brought Capt Chad

position Of the wreck of the Maine. so far |
as the United States is concerned The

toward raising the wreck, If it is Thought |
such thing is possible, and also. if rails

most feasible plan of saving certain VAL

matlc leau may De explOlteu. On the part
Of the administration, 1t is stated that the
development of the situation Will not re.
quire a great length of time, and 1t is said
there will be no extended delay. A policy
has been fully determined upon by the
president.
1t is to bring the Cuban war to close
This will be accomplished by pointed in.
tervention If necessary, but 1t is consid-
cred far preferable that the end should
come as the result of peaceful negotiations
than that 1t should be accompanied by hos
tile demonstrations on the part of the
United States. Hence the disposition OF
the president is to give Spain fair oppor.
tunity to secure an armistice with the Gu.
bans and to allow her a reasonable time
in which to come to an understanding with
the hostiles. 1t can be stated upon high
authority that there has been no abate.

that the war is terminated, when It is
closed upon terms that will render the
Cubans practically a free people. 1t Is not
believed that they would accept anythine
less, nor that Americans would be salts

that would not be acceptable to the Gu
bans. If there should now be an armistYce
1t would be with the concession made b,
Spain at the instance of this country, tha,
negotiations should be opened immediatel,
with the insurgents looking to the estab

terms. 1t has long been the hope Of the
administration to bring Spain to the point
of making propositions Of this character al

ing majority, decided to meet in conven-
ton in the city OF Detroit, Mich, on
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, october
9Th, 7th, and Sth, these dates being Sc

uously, so as to have the full use Of this
large public resort.
1t is expected at an early date to have
a plan recommended for a road from
Chimborazo Park to Fulton. This will
open this resort to large number of clti-
gems now practically cut Off from 1t.
In the James-river Improvement Char
bor) work some steps should be taken to-
wards the permanent Improvement of the
channel by dyking, and an appropriation
should be made for this purpose.
COMMENDS HIS ASSISTANTS.
Colonel Cutshaw then proceeds to give
the list Of appropriations asked for this
year. and closes his report with the fol-
lowing commendatory clause:
All of the assistant engineers, clerk,
officers and employees have been labo-
riously at work in their several positions,
fulfilling their duties skilfully and faith
fully, and beg TO commend them to you
for faithfulness and efficiency.
The dropping OF one of our assistants
and adding his duties to those of clerk
has seriously embarrassed the work Of
the office, and imposed such duties on all
that some action should be taken to re-
lieve the Office OF this laborious service.
Very respectfully.

City Engineer.
