Message Called Impertinent.
The Correspondence de Espana Qnde-
pendent and semi-officiaD said yesterday:
President McKinley's message contains
stale news, namely, his opinion of the Gu
ban campaigns. and fresh news, namely, a
clear statement regarding Intervention.
The message might easily have been more
weighty. but it is not possible for it to be
more impertinent. Under the circum-
stances, we consider as opportune the
memorial which Senior Polo y Bernabe Is
drafting. The truce intended to promote
peace may be usefully employed in pre-

The Spanish premier, Senior sagasta, in
an interview this morning, said that he
thought the powers could not do more than
they have already done in the way of in
tervention.
Message Is "DeplOrable."
The Spanish premier is then quoted as
saying that he considers President Mckin-
ley's message to be 'deplorable," and ne is
said to have expressed the belief that it
was forced from him by the clasnor of
Congress. which took advantage Of his
weakness, although President Mckinley
personally wished to modify it."
Senior Sagasta is reported to have added
THE length of the arniistice depends upon
how the rebels behave and upon the at;
titude of the United STATES. Senior Polo y
Bernabe has been instructed to present
Secretary Sherman with further memoir
andum."
In conclusion the Spanish premier is quot
ed as having announced that he believed
Congress would grant President Mckinley
the powers he asked for.
