STORY UNTRUE
That Spain Has Purchased the Armored
Cruiser Carlo Alberto From Italy.

That Spain Has Purchased the Armored
Cruiser Carlo Alberto From Italy.
ROME, April 4.-The' report that the
Italian armored cruiser Carlo Alberto
has been sold to Spain is untrue, as
the war ship belongs to the nation and
a law must be enacted before she can
be sold.
The real situation is that Commander
Willard II. Brownson, U. S. NJ, is ne
gotiating in behalf of the United States
for the purchase of the Basoir, which
is being built for Morocco at the Or
lando yards, but the consent Of Mo-
rocco must be obtained before the sale
can be consummated.
Commander Brownson is also negoti-
ating at the Ansaldo yards at Leghorn
for two torpedo boats and at the Odero
yards for a torpedo boat destroyer.
Spain is negotiating at the Ansaldo
yards for the purchase of the armored
cruiser Garibaldi and the armored
cruiser Varese from Argentina, and is
understood to be consummating the
purchase of the Varese. The prices OF
the Garibaldi and Varese are $S. 400. 600.
The rumor that the Italian third
class cruiser Umbria goes from Bahaia
to Barbados, on account of the Cuban
situation, is untrue.

AN ABSTRACT
OF the Telegram Received From Minister
Woodford in Reference to the Spanish
Situation.

OF the Telegram Received From Minister
woodford in Reference to the Spanish
situation.
WASHINGTON, April 2.--The official
statement was given out 10y the presi-
dent at the close OF the cabinet meet
ing at 1850 o'clock.
"The following is an abstract from
the telegram received from Gen. Wood
ford on the evening of March 81, 1898,
on the general situation in Cuba:
"IIe informs the government of the
United States that Gen. Blanco has
revoked the Pando order relating to
the concentrates in the western
provinces of Cuba, which are under
stood TO be the provinces of Matanzas.
Santa Clara, Havana and Pinar del
rio; that the Spanish government has
placed at the disposal of the governor
general the credit of 100000 pesetas
$500. .0OO) to the end that the country
people may return at once and with
success to their labors.
'.The Sranish government will accept
whatever assistance to feed ana succor
thc necessitous that may be sent from
The United States in accordance with
the plan now in operation.
.'It proposes to contine the prepare
ton for an honorable and stable peace
to the insular parliament without
whose concurrence the Spanish govern
ment would not be able to arrive at
the final result, being understood that
the powers received by tht coustitu-
ton to the central government are not
leSsened or DIM nished.
''As the Cuban chamber will not
meet until May 4. the Spanish govern
ment will not on its part object to "a
suspension of hosti'ities if asked for
by the insurgents from the general-in-
chief, to whom it will belong to deter
mine duration and condition of the
suspe ension.
The president will communicate
with congress as soon as he can pre-.
pare Il message"
The cabinet adjourned at las. 1t
will meet again at o'clock.
Members of the cabinet regard the
situation as of the very gravest and
most critical character possible.
The circulation of the bulletin Civ
ing an abstract of the reply of Spain
caused inter Sc excitement in the
house. Those members who have re-
Gently been in consultation with the
president say that the announcement
of an intended message means that
there will be a review of the entire
Spanish situation and it no doubt
would state that further negotiations
to bring about a peaceful solution of
the case was useless. Some think the
president will advise intervention at
once.
In connection with the official state
ment made public Friday afternoon it
can be stated on authority that the
case as now made up by the negotia-
tions between Spain and the United
States will constitute the case as it
will be submitted to congress in the
presidents message. There is no pres
ent intention of pursuing further ne.
gotiations which will change the sta
tus of the Cuban question as now pre-.
sented in the correspondence between
Spain and the United States.
Speaker Reed has been called to the
white house to consult with the presi-
dent on the Cuban situation.
