SPAIN CALLS roR VENGEANCE.
Wants TO Make Returns for the Defeat
at Iuyltc,

New York. May ia dispatch to the
Herald from Valencia says:
The war fever is decidedly abating in
Spain, and the long winded debate
from the cortes, revealing the helpless
ness OF the country has contributed
thereto almost as much as the defeat
ut Cavite. a distinct feature of the
present crisis Is that there Is not a sim
gle public man who inspires the small
est confidence and the proposed tin
kering in the ministry Is simply viewed
by the masses with despairing indlffcr-
ence.
This circumstance and the opinion
daily growing among the thinking men,
that Spain is drifting toward defeat
may at any moment determine the
formation of n peace party. But 1t Is
still premature to speak OF peace. The
subject can only be whispered here.
The memory of Cavlte calling for
vengeance is too fresh for peace yet.
Peace, II Spain is to initiate proposals
for it, can only be had after more
fighting, The Atlantic fleet must either
be knocked to pieces or gain partial
victory rs set Off against Cavte be-
fore the idea of peace with honor can
really take root in this land of Don

Ottawa, Ont, May 19.-In the house
of commons. Hon. Mr.. Cleary, a repre-
sentative of one of the border constitu-
encles, in discussing the American
alien labor law and the manner in
which IL had been enforced against
Canadians, incidentally referred to the
Spanish American war, saying that
while all parties would pray that the
American people would come out VIC
torlous, still there was not few who
would not like to see the United States
get bit of a spanking" because of
its unfriendly treatment of Canada.
Cries of No, no." arose from all parts
of the house.
Premier Laurier, rising, evidently
with some warmth. said
Il sincerely hope my honorable
friend who has just taken his seat, in
his utterances which at the moment
called forth expressions of dissent,
speaks his own personal feeling and
not the feeling of his party. / would
rather hope that upon the present &C.
caslon. though we are bound to be
neutral and must be neutral in L. .
present differences between the United
States and Spain. l should like to be-
lieve that IL there is a feeling at all
apart from our duty as neutrals, 1t Is
a feeling OF sympathy for those who
are our neighbors and who share the
continent with us"
Sir Chas. Topper, opposition leader,
expressed entire acquiescence in what
the premier had said, and concluded
| his speech by saying: while We are
bound TO respect That complete neu-
trality that has been proclaimed by the
parent state in reference to the war
between the United States and SPAIN
nevertheless l feel that we cannot for
get the people of Canada, as of Great
Britain, are but one branch of that
| great English-speaking family, and
that the interests of peace, the inter
| ests of civilization, and the interests
| OF the world would be promoted by the
most cordial cooperation between the
| great branch nations"
Mr.. Charlton, member from On
tario, called the governments atten-
ton to the presence in Canada OF
Senior Polo Bernabe, late Spanish min
lister at Washington, who seemed to
| be actively engaged in attending to an
office of war. A few days ago one
| Downing was arrested as a Spanish
| spy in Washington and committed sui
| eide, and 1t is feared that the presence
| of Spanish officials here might lead to
| complications as being considered a
| breach of neutrality.
Premier Laurler replied that the
| government had no knowledge tina,
Barnabe had done anything to war
rant Interference by THE government
At any rate the attention of the gov
eminent had not been called to the
matter. The British empire had al
ways been the asylum for refugees UNI
| der any circumstances So long as the
| Spanish ambassador did not abuse
| Canada's hospitality, the government
did not conceive that 1t was in any
way bound to take notice of his pres.
| ence here.

Manila with ammunition and supplies
for Admiral Dewey, is back at her
