FOREIGN NOTE PERFUNCTORY.
The call of the foreign ambassadors to
this country, headed by Sir Julian Paun-
| ceforte, on the President to-day, was
| a merely perfunctory affair. The Min
listers did not offer any plan of media
| ton from their respective governments
| to the United States. The most they
! did was TO express "a hope" that some
| thing might be agreed upon by which
| war would be avoided. 1t is well known
| that the British Government absolutely
| refused to mediate between Spain and
! the United States, and the presence of
| its Ambassador at the White House to-
| day does not in any way alter its posi-
| tion I'm this respect. Three Of the Powers
represented to-day at the White House
have already assured the Queen Regent
that if she accedes to the demands Of
the United States, they will assist in
maintaining the dynasty as 1t is.
After the interview of the foreign am
bassadors with the President, and their
understanding of the pronounced and de-
termined position Of the President TO end
the insufferable state of affairs in Cuba,
il is the belief that an overwhelming
pressure will be brought to bear on the
Queen Regent of Spain to accede TO the
demands of the United States
PEACE MAY COME FROM MADRID.
There is an unauthenticated rumor to-
night that the Sagasta Ministry will be
asked TO resign, and that, under the rep
reservations of the combined European
