CHRISTMAS WORK.
The Qnren Regent Takcs an Active
Part in the Affairs at Madrid.
Wants TO Retain Cuba.

Madrid (via BayOnne, France), April
1.-Despite the eHorts of the press to
work up patriotic enthusiasm, the pub
lie seems Indifferent to the situation.
Excepting among officials and officers,
it is rarely discussed. Apparently the
people are chiefly interested in the re-
suit of a big lottery just announced
and in the preparation for an extra
ordinary bull fight on Easter Sunday,
at which celebrated toreadors from all
parts of Spain will perform.
The people do not wish war; or, rath-
er, they are indih erent, as they always
have one in progress somewhere, and
do not regard a war with the United
States as different from the others. The
fact that exists here exists also
throughout the provinces.
Poultney Bigelow writes from BARGE
Iona that, with other Americans he
has just completed bicycle tour from
San Sebastian, through Madrid, to Ali
cante, in Valencia, clean across the
widest part Of the peninsula; and he
says: Il found less jingosm in the
whole trip than in one block of the
New York bowery."
Ihe queen regent rs taking very
active part in the negotiations and has
thoroughly identified herself with the
war section of the cabinet. Her atti-
tude is much approved by the Of
fici&ls in the army. and has undoubted-
ly strengthened the dynasty for the
time being, Her majesty is reported
to have told Senor Sagasta: "I re-
ceived from my husband heritage for
our son, and will never agree to have
that heritage curtailed"
Senor Sagasta said to a friend after
Thursdays council at the palace: I'VE
went in, seven men, to urge the wo-
man, and came out seven women, leav-
ing the man inside" meaning that they
went in disposed to yield, but that
the queens patriotism and firmness in
spred them. At the same time it is
reported that the queen regent is do
ing much to avoid a rupture The
activity of Count Dubsky, the Austrir 81
ambassador, in this direction within
the last two days is said to be in

operations which may result from the
present crisis 1t is recognized as of
vital Importance to secure cable facili-
ties not controlled ~ Spain. At pres
ent the cable line touching at Porto
Rico, and subject to Spanish control,
Is the only means Of communication
with these islands. The French cavie
lands at st, Thomas but the station is
merely for testing purposes, and mes
sages are not received or delivered 1t
Is now proposed to have this station
turned into regular bureau, in which
case the government could be brought
into close cable communication with
any naval rendezvous there The es-
tablishment Of the bureau will require
the consent of Denmark, and it is
probable this will be asked through the
United states minister at Copenhagen
within the next few days.
II is understood that the Danish gov
eminent did not view with favor the
recent propositions for the purchase Of
the island of st. Thomas by the United
States for use as a coaling station, as

icated to Washington, and was doubt

BERNABE'S ACTIVITY.
The Spanish minister. Senior Polo v
Bernabe, and his staff had a busy Sum
day, although it did not bring any de-
velopments changing the situation The
minister did not see state department
officials during the day. His last Of
fcial exchange with the authorities
here was on last Friday after Spains
answer had been received, since which
time the negotiations have been at a
halt. This, however, has not lessened
the SpaniGh minister's activity in keep
ing MS government fully apprised as to
the general aspect of affairs in this
country. The elaborate manner in
which this cable intelligence has gone
to the authorities at Madrid Is prob
ably without a parallel. 1t is under
stood that when the situation began
to assume its most serious aspect a
single cable dispatch sent by the min
lster to the foreign Office at Madrid cost
$l,OOO. Another dispatch cost 800; an
other $4OO. In this way the Madrid
authorities are kept in close touch with
the condition of affairs here, not only
as 1t related to official negotiations,
but more particularly to the tendencies
and all those circumstances which will
permit the Madrid government to
guage the situation at Washington.

CARDINAL GLIB ms FOR PEACE.
Impressive Remarks at the Close Of
Ills sermon Yesterday


Baltimore, April 3.-Cardinal Glib
bons, after his sermon in the cathedral
this morning, made the following re-
marks on the threatened war:
"On this day when we commemorate
the entrance of the God of peace into
Jerusalem, let us implore him that he
will so guide the minds and hearts Of
the president and congress, that he
will so direct the counsels of Spain,
that he may inspire both nations with
a happy solution to the problem which
confronts us-a solution honorable to
both nations-so that the clouds of war
may be dispelled and the blessings Of
heavenly peace may be preserved to
the nation.
LET us cherish the hope that on next
Sunday, when we celebrate the resur-
rection of Christ from the dead, re
may also be cheered by the inaugura-
tion OF the dawn of good viii between
Spain and our own beloved country"

APPEAL CP AUTONOMlSTS.
they Present the Olive Branch to
the Insurgents.


Washington, April 3.-The Spanish
minister has received a dispatch from
Havana stating that the AutOnomist
cabinet there has addressed an appeal
to the insurgents asking to arrange an
armlstice for the purpose Of arriving at
terms for peace. The full text of the
message could not be secured tonight
as it's translation was not made at the
legation.
The insurgents are appealed to on the
ground that they are all Cubans and
should unite for peace and liberty
which all want. The appeal also states
that Spain is willing to enlarge the
present scope of autonomy and will
suggest such a plan to the cortes which
is soon to meet.

THREE MORE GONE.
These Heroes Died at the NJ atne General
Yesterday.


When the Hospital train arrived Fri
day with the sick soldiers from the First
Maine volunteers, among the many who
were taken from the car on stretchers
was Roland Scribner of Co. B-Portland
Cadets. No language could describe the
pallor and look of death which was
stamped on the. countenanoe of the young
lad. He seemed scarcely 18 years of age.
Typhoid fever had him in it's grasp
Too weak to speak, or even open his eyes,
he lay on his heated bunk before arrival
constantly famed by his kind compan-
ions. All the pevious night the boys said
he tossed In Terrible, agony. When asked
of his condition during:the night at re-
heated hours he would never answer.
His mouth was open and the alkali water
had eaten we'll into his teeth. At differ
ent periods of the night he would throw
the scanty covering from off his ENACT
ated body, which tended.to add to his
critical condition. He was borne In the
ambulance to the Maine General hospital
and there placed in DR.. Charles ID.
Smiths ward. =. From the time he was
taken from the car he was delirious,
and alth ough stimulants were constantly
given him the vitality was gone and
there was nothing left to build upon.
Skilled physicians and trained nurses
could do naught, and yesterday he passed
away quietly as the flame Of candle
goes out with the slightest puff of air.
AMI late in the day, along towards the
latter part of the afternoon, two other
brave soldiers gave up the battle for
life. Iyra Heal of Co. 81, and Benjamin
Nelson. of Co. A-Portland Light Infan-
try. The condition of both of these men
was little, if any, better than that of
Scribner's on arrival, and the doctors had
but the faintest hope of saving them.
Scribner was fine young fellow of
IS years of age, resident of Patten and
member of the class Of 1900, University
of Maine. He was one of che number of
men who were glad to join from the
college ranks. His father was here at his
death and last night took the remains
to Patten, Mr.. Rich having prepared
the body for the journey. ~
Corporal Benjamin Nelson was fine
man and good soldier. He was tailor
by trade, Swede by birth, and worked
as pressinan for Ii G. Young. the Con-
gress street tailor. He boarded at the
Chase house for several years and was
member of the Lincoln club. His friend,
Mr.. Geo. l.. Lidback, was with him at
his bedside when he passed away. Col.
Printable, an old friend, was at the hos
pital distributing the flowers ordered by
Gov. Powers, and was the last one that
Mr.. Nelson recognized. He leaves faith
er and mother in Sweden and brother
in Massachusetts,. A soldiers funeral
will be given him from 2S Spring street,
at 80 p. IN. today.
Ivra Heal belonged in Searsmont and
was man of about thesssssaane age as
