DEM0NSTRATI0NSl IN MADRID
Against the Government anil In Favor OF
the Miiitary.-A Strained situation--The
sConcessions lIado Exceedingly Unpop.

LONDON, April 1.-THE Rome cor
respondent OF the Times says:
"1 have the fullest authority to say
that the pope's intervention has met
with complete success. Notwlthstand-
Ing the nearly desperate state Of af-
fairs. his holiness persevered An ar
mistice has been agreed to, war for the
present is avoided and there IS every.
hope of q continuance OF peace"
The special dispatches TO the morning
papers from Madrid to-day give for the
most part q bare recital of the armis-
tlce negotiations. The. Madrid cores

graphing Sunday and dealing With The
sensation caused by the armistice an
nouncement. says:
eat first nobody believed the rumor,
probably because the government had
enphatically declared that this step
would be Incompatible with the honor
OF Spain. When. finally. the report was
confirmed, all Madrid displayed senti-
ments of dissatisfaction and excitement.
Newspapers were sold. read and dis
cussed all night The principal cafes
were crowded with groups OF politicians
and the policy of the cabinet was con-
demned in vigorous terms.

barracks, the Indignation IN military
circles being expressed IN way which
,bodes no good to the present Spanish.
cabinet. All the independent press or
gans, even those inclininS to the liberal
party, condemn the governments ac-
zion Is derogatory to Spanish honor and
calculated to bring about irreparable
disaster. not to the cabinet alone, which
has rislted lis future on the success or
failure OF submission to the European
powers. Other and greater interests
have been jeopardiZed TO a much great
or extent than war itself could have
jeopard!zed them"
The Daily Telegraph's correspond. at-
ter quoting from El impartial, El Pals,
and other papers to illustrate this feel
ing, says:
S"Another article assures General Wey-
Ter, who will shortly return 10 Madrid,
that he is not alone in defending the
honor, sovereignty and integrity OF the
tatherland and that he can rely upon
Carllsts, Republicans, SpanIards, Gu
bans and the bulk Of the army. From
trustworthy information in my posses
sion ! should not be surprised II the
popular dissatisfaction assumad un-
wonted and undesirable forms very
shortly. The cabinet has had no oppor-
tunity Of justifylnS It's action; and

The civil governor Of Madrid Is among

The crowd, relying on the kind-heart-

lation OF Madrid adores, refuse to dis

sympathy. The authorities prohibit the
formation OF groups IN front OF the milf

head the demonstration. but he refused,
alleging that the crowd was composed
OF the dregs OF the city. Several OF the
ring-leaders have been arrested, the
civil governor threatening TO call out the
civic guards II the crowd does not dis
perse.
At 10 p. m. the Puerta del Sol is
densely packed. A large body OF police
is drawn up near the hotel de Paris,
where the civil governor OF Madrid is
dining. Occasionally the cry "vlvc Es-
