THEY ARE ALL FOR WAR
Those Spanish Ministers. Regardless of
Their Other Differences.

Madrid, May 23-Senor Capdepon,
minister Of the interor, has denied in the
course of an interview that the change
in the constitution of the ministry will
involve any alteration in the foreign pol
icy of Spain. all the new ministers be-
ing in favor Of prosecuting the war to
the end with the utmost energy. Spain, f"
said Capendon, went perilously near
sacrificing her honor in the interest of
peace, only making a stand when fur
ther concessions would have involved
her disgrace and effacement as a ma
ton.
This she will never do, and in this
resolve the new cabinet is as thor
oughly determined as the old. The new
cabinet entertains no illusions. 1t is
aware that weakness and poverty are
opposed to strength and wealth: but
Spain is in the position Of a duelist
bound TO defend his honor against the
gross insults Of a more powerful an
tagonist, who, although he is convinced
that the result is almost certain death.
yet feels the force Of the principle of
noblesse oblige.
Spain prefers a possible defeat to a
certain disgrace. Ministers know that
the moral sympathies Of the powers are
with Spain, and that while hesitating &c
