WAR sITuAYrox IN BRIEF.

The status OF our quarrel with Spain
remains unchanged from what IL was
yesterday morning. IL is stated az Wash
ington that any step looking 10 the avoid
ance Of war must now come from SPAIN
II Is said that no change whatever has
been made In the Presidents message,
and that that document ombodics the
unanimous opinion OF the members Of
the Cabinet. without qualification.
No offer Of mediation baS been made TO
this government, and II Is stated that
none would now be accepted, IL 1t were
proffered. The representatives at WASH
ington Of the six great Powers Of Europe
yesterday called on the President and
presented a joint note from the governs
ments, by which they are accredited. ex-
pressing an urgent hope THAI peace might
be maintained. The Presideoe returned
thanks for the display Of interest, and ex-
pressed in turn the hope OF this country
that the outcome Of she situation might
be peace, and the establishment Of or
der in Cuba. The presentation OF the Eu-
ropean note. II is stated. did not alter
the situation one whit.
The status of affairs in Madrid is not
favorable TO the continuance OF peace.
The Utterances Of the press ars warlike,
and popular sentiment is represented as
decidedly warlike. Reports OF express
sions from members OF the Cabinet arc
TO the effect that Spain will yield not an
other inch. ''prefering war to humilia-
ton" II Is expected, however, that the
same Powers that presented the joint
note 70 President Mckinley may bring
overwhelming pressure TO bear upon the
Spanish Queen Regent 10 the end that
peace may be preserved through con-
cessiOn Of all that We demand. even IL
the fail Of the present ministry should
be one Of the results.
Consul-General Lee Is expected to leave
Habana for this country tomorrow. He
reports that al who desire to leave Cuba
for this country will have been given an
opportunity to do so by that time, and
that he will himself then leave.
Habana Is remarkably quiet.
It is reported from Madrid that Minis

quit the Spanish capital.
Fifteen Spanish waFships have sailed
from Cadiz for the Cape Verde Islands.
The militia OF the Canary Islands !s
ordered to be placed on a war footing.
The garrison OF the Baseaffc Islands,

Active war~p~1e e,ratons were being
made at Madrid yesterday in spite OF tho
fact that it was Holy Thursday.
In response TO a late representation
from Pope Leo, II is reported that the
Spanish ministry has replied that IL Is
ITO late"
Both houses OF Congress at WASHINGTON
yesterday adjourned until Monday. Tha
impression among even the most conser-
yative members Of the Federal Legisla-
ture, is that war is inevitable unless
Spain backs down completely, and thia
result is regarded as improbable, 20 say
