SPANISH PRESS COMMENT.
Various Opinions On Cuban Mani

feSto and Matters American.
Madrid. April LA Liberal today ex-
presses the opinion that as a result of
the manifesto of the autonomist gov
erament of Cuba. the United States
will find interference difficult in the
names of liberty and humanity and in
behalf of the factionist minority who
oppose liberty and disgrace humanity.
La Liberal adds: Spain, aided by
justice and right, will successfully de-
fend herself In conclusion. La Lib
eral quotes the case of the Alabama
being against the United States action
in the case of Cuba.
The impartial, which publishes the
manifesto Of the autonomist govern
ment of Cuba. says some of the phases
it contains are vaTiously commented
upon, but that the government is
pleased that the Cuban ministry at
last rejects the United States intru-
SION
The ministerial Globo considers the
Cuban ministry's manifesto as an inn
portant checking of the United States
aggressive policy. 1t also says the
note of the autonomist government
tells the United States: I'VE are legal
power; we have stability and strength,
and wish to live united with Spain.
We reject the intervention of those pos
sessing neither the right nor the Oc-
casior to intervene" The Globo says
it thinks the United States is earnest,
and adds:
"Eut should war come, they will soon
be taught the inconvenience of enter
ing into strife wanting in right and
equity
The Pals denounces the manifesto as
IAN assumption of independence in
furious to Spains rights and sover-
eighty" and describes the paragraph
appealing for President McKinleys
support as deserving of censure from
the Spanish government"
1.-THE very day Spain rejects the
United States intervention for Cuban
independence" the Pals adds. the Gu
ban ministry performs an act of indie
pendence."
