Cuba, which was suggested by the
Queen regent and the minister for the
colonies, Senior Moret. came from the
ministers of war and marine, Gen Cor
rea and Admiral Bermejo. If Senor
Sagasta, the premier had not yielded,
they would have resigned, and at a
critical Juncture Spain would have been
deprived of the heads Of the two prin-

would have been impossible to replace
these ministers in view Of the present

cording to Rumor to Take Ber-
nabe Away.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-The italian
cruiser Amerigo Vespucci is anchored
in the Potomac few miles down the
river below Washington. She is a ca
det school ship, and is understood to
be on practice cruise. She draws
about seventeen feet of water.
There was considerable gossip in ma
val and military circles regarding the
visit of this foreign vessel to this city
at this critical juncture. There was
unconfirmed gossip that the presence
of the vessel at this time was for the
purpose of making her an asylum for
the Spanish minister and his staff in
case it was found impracticable for
them to leave the country by the or
binary means Of travel.
Senior Polo Bernabe, the Spanish
minister, when his attention was call
ed to the rumor that the Vespucci
might be held here to take him away
from the country, characterized it as
absurd and without any basis Of fact.

European concert repeat the Cretan-
performance. The concert has a weak
ness for the stronger side and may ex-
act concession from Spain offensive to
Spanish pride and harmful to Spanish
interests. Therefore, the papers warn
the ministry to trust to Spain only.
The ministers continue their reserve
respecting yesterdays cabinet council.
But 1t is believed to have been occupied
with telegram from Cardinal Ram
polla, papal secretary Of state, relative
to papal action.
The discussion was very animated
between those favoring and those op-
posed to further attempts at media
ton or negotiation. Senior Moret, sec
retary for the colonies, energetically
sustained his conciliatory views, and
was listened to with great attention.
The council terminated after agree
ing to the draft of the response to be
sent to Cardinal Rampolla, which was
delivered tonight.
The Liberal this evening says the
government has decided to send note
to the pope thanking him for his good
offices, and begging him to persevere.
But" the Liberal adds 1.-The gov

WASHINGTON, April 8.--Apparent-
ly, the only important news feature
In the navy department today was the
extraordinarily large number of as
signments of naval officers, indicating
great activity in that branch of the
service. The list was larger than has
been the case at any previous time
during the present emergency. Sec
retary Long saw few callers before he
left for the cabinet meeting.
At the war department, Secretary
Alger had conferences with Gen. Will
son. chief OF engineers; Gen. Miles,
commanding the army, and Quarter
master General Ludington.
The naval movements reported were
OF no special significance. They In
cluded the arrival Of the cruiser To-
peka, formerly the Diogones. at Wey-
mouth, England, whence she
will start for the United States. in
company with the torpedo boat Somers
recently purchased in Germany. The
ram Katahdin left the League Island
navy yard yesterday for Hampton
Roads. She will probably be attached
to the flying squadron, but will not
De used in any movement requiring
particularly rapid execution. The gun
boat Annapolis. recently from KEY
West, arrived at TompkinsviIIe NJ "
where she will take on a full supnJv of
ammunition.
Secretary Long decided upon the
names for the new auxiliary cruisers
occurred by the government from the
Morgan steamship line. The names
selected for the ships are peculiarly
American, and are especially signifi-
cant, in that they appeal to all parts
OF the country. Ell Nord is to be here
after known as the Yankee; Ell Rio. as
the Dixie; El Sol, as the Prairie:- EI
Sud, as the Yosemite.
FORT MONROE, April S.-Commo-
dore Schley paid formal visit to Fort
Monroe during the day and was saluted
