Spain Adheres to Previous Decisions.
| Madrid, April Z, 1870 a. m.-After
the regular cabinet meeting adjourned
last night the papal nuncio, Monsignor
Naya, in company with the minister of
foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, arrived

national subscription to increase the
strength of the Spanish fleet.

Outcome of the deliberations was the
adhesion of the government to all it's
previous decisions without modification,

Windy Lies In Madrid.
After the issue of the semi-official note,
which was regarded as a serious an
nouncement, there was much bellicose
talk in the city. 1t is explained that the
decisions to which the Spanish govern
ment adheres are those outlined at the
last conference between Minister Wood
ford and the Spanish ministers. The
Pals furnished its readers with the
startling information to the effect, that
a mob had broken loose in Washington,
that the Spanish legation had been at
tackled, the Spanish minister had es-
capped by jumping through window
and that the coat OF arms of Spain had
been torn down. A rumor was current
that the United States had presented
an ultimatum to Spain, demanding that
the latter, within six hours, should modify
the note, presented as result of the
last conference. The rumor is in no
way confirmed, but it found credence
throughout Madrid. The military pa
pers today are violentin in their utterances
against the United States.

The morning papers here are unani
nous in their opinion that the situation
is very grave. Several papers announce
that Minister Woodford will leave Mad
rid tomorrow.

fight foreigners than to fight the Span

rights are trampled under foot"
