COMMENTS OF THE SPANISH EDITORS ON AMER
ICAN ACTION.

Madrid. April 19.-Thc one absorbing topic Is
the prospect OF war. "El Heraldo de Madrid"
says that war Is Inevitable and even imminent.
Even the forthcoming meeting OF Parliament
Is unheeded. Gel Heraldo' compares the IN
difference of the mass OF the people" TO Mus
suman fatality" considering IT highly danger
Gus and fearing terrible reaction. The paper
says a serious task lies before Parliament. which
it hopes Will prove equal TO facing the great
dangers now gathering around Spain" 'El

The resolution Of the American Congress not
only authorizes the President. as he desired in
his message 10 intervene in Cuba. but orders
him 10 do so Immediately: and. the independence
recognition Of the RepublicD clause being ex-
plunged. which might have incurred veto. the
President will probably square his action with
the decree Of the Chambers What he will prob
ably do is to give the resolution immediate effect
or from motives OF precaution and convenience
let few days pass inopcratvely. Anyway. the
situation Is now the gravest possible.

think you safe in saying that Spain will be
given forty-eight hours-that is until Friday

with the terms Of the resolution the President
will demand that Spain shall evacuate the ISL
