AMERICANS ALL BLUFF.
What South American Nations are Saying
on the Delay in Cuban Matters.

New York. April 12.-Chlcf officer
Frank Crosslin. of the British steamer
Aloedene, which has Just arrived from
Matanzas, cuba. said: when an
American army reaches Cuba, the peo-
pie will flock to Its ranks. All Cubans
want is a surety of help ana they will
rise In body. They were won by the
magnificent gifts of clothing and food
and are longing for American interfer-
ence and many of them want to be-
come part of the States.
THE Spanish soldiers are among
the weakest specimens Of humanity
that could be found anywhereNand the
most dissatisfied lot. Most of them
are boys who are poorly clothed poorly
fed, never paid. and homesick all the
time. Desertions are frequent.
The Cubans are pinnir- their faith
on the United States and waiting for a
signal to rise in thousands. They
could under no circumstances be
brought to fight against the United
States, junta or no junta. To this
country they look for their liberty"
From the deck of the vessel, he said
every night CONGREGATIONS could be seen
in every direction outside of Havana
and Matanzas, caused by the burning
OF crops and plantation buildings,
one of the engineers of the steamer
Saratoga, which has just arrived from
the south coast Of Cuba, said:
AROUND ManZanlllo tne skies were
aglow ut night with the fires Of the
blazing plantations. The misery in the
towns is dreadful. No sooner does a
ship tie up than there is II crowd of
poor creatures around her, begging for
food. The feeling against Americans
is very bitter among the Spanish part
OF the population"
III something is not done now" In
terjected a younger engineer. "the life
of an American sailor In any of the
South American countries will be UNI
bearable. They all with n grin:
"Amerlcanos all bluff; big mouth; all
talk; no night"
I'm cuba the average Spnniard be-
lieves there will be no trouble In whip
ping the United States. They think
the Maine was the finest ship that the
United states had. and they say they
will serve the rest as the Maine was
served"

WILL he NO WAR.
So Says Germany's Foreign Minister, Speak
ing of America md Snain.

New York. April 12.--,The following
statement was made to New York
World correspondent In Berlin by a
gentleman who, although not an Off
cial himself, Is intimately acquainted
with the views Of the foreign depart
ment and personally knows its chiefs:
at Is the opinion of Herr Won Bulow.
Germany's foreign minister. that there
viii be no war.
He believes that Spain will yield at
the last moment, preferring to risk the
temporary dissatisfaction at home
which viii result from her yielding to
American demands. rather than face
the certain revolution and dynastic
crash which would be the outcome of
an unsuccessful war.
Neither the kaiser nor his foreign
minister was attracted by the propo-
sitlon of mediation coming from the
emperor of Austria Hungary, and they
gave II only lukewarm support at
Washington"
The World correspondent IS Informed
that the foreign office In Berlin and
the leading commercial circles are In
their hearts not averse to the idea of
war between America and Spain.
The chambers of commerce in both
Hamburg and Bremen. or rather the
leading membess of these bodies. have
expressed sangiine hopes that HOSTILE
ties would be followed by large In
crease In the value of German trade
both with Spain and the United States.

AS TO McKINLEYS MESSAGE.
HAS PUT UP WITH EVERYTHING.
IL Is Said Regarding Spain, Hut to Submit
Now Would be to Lose Place
Among European Nations.

Madrid, April 12-9 a.m.-Complete
tranquility prevails this morning at
the Spanish capital.
There were patriotic demonstrations
yesterday evening at Barcelona and
Valencia, accompanied by shouts of
Long live Spain!" Long 1--we the
army" Long live Cuba!" etc, nut
there were no disturbances. The Lib
eral publishes this morning what
appears to be nearly translation
Of President McKiney's message to
Congress on the Cuban question, print
ing its salient points in large type.
Commenting on the message the Lib
eral says:
Although the dispatches are extern
s!ve. they do not suffice for the forina-
ton of definite conclusions. The mis-
construction OF word or a phase
would cause complete misunderstand-
Ing of the first transmission of the mes
sage. Nevertheless. it may be said that
In general sense IL affirms and de-
clares In the name of humanity the
right of interference in Cuba. Whether
definite or indefinite period is meant
and whether It Is II simple lntimation
or fixed decision regarding comm:
events, Spain must protest enesgetical-
~ against the principle. prior To pro-
testing Violently against the action.
No free people can hesitate to reject by
all the means in its power a doctrine
attacking Its personality and reducing
II to ignominous tutelage. Conserving
to submit to 1t would be equivalent to
spain's resignation of her place among
European nations America clearly in
dicates her intention, hitherto yelled
with hypocritical antiquities. Ameri-
ca considers Spain incapable of main
tanning her sovereignty in Cuba We
have put up with everything. but I'M
less we ignore our history and con-
slider the peninsula on the level with
Paraguay isolated from the world,
we cannot and will not sumbit to
this"
In conclusion the Liberal says: ITO
avoid 1t and to restore the self-respect
due TO ourselves. which IL more
important than the position of Cuba,
II becomes necessary to unite in one
all Spanish arms and hearts. Let Ma
drid, let the whole of Spain recall
what We have been and what we can
not cease to be while physical and
moral laws forbid the suicide of ma

WHAT THE PRESIDENT WILLDO
If Congress Permits, He viii Notify Spain to
Eyacuate Cuba.


New York, April IA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Should
the President be clothed with authority
to use the military and naval forces
to intervene solely for the purpose of
establishing peace and order in Cuba,
he proposes to exercise 1t first by
transmitting TO Spain n copy Of the
resolution with the statement that his
obligations require him to carry out the
will, and a notification that he will do
so at once, unles Spain withdraws from
the island.
In other words, the President will
deliver an ultimatum to Spain before
making q naval demonstration. in the
hope that Spain may at the last mo-
ment consent to concession of the
independence OF the people of the
island, upon an Indemnity, or upon
some other basis which may be salts
factory TO all parties involved. II war
should then come, whether holy" or
''unholy," he viii feel that the reSpon-
sibility Is ON Spain.
The one significant sign of peace In
that diplomatic relations between the
United States and Spain have not been
severed us IA ItHhll VI sum
to Congress today. 1t Is true that all
of our consuls have been called out of
Cuba and this would indicate pre-
liminary sign of war; but our minis
ter is still at Madrid. and Spain's rep
resentative Is still here.
II was supposed that when the Presi-
dents message went to Congress, Spain
would ut once take umbrage and re-
call Minister Polo. She has not done
so nor has the President recalled Min
lister Woodford. The two ministers
are thus at their posts OF duty and In
a position to resume negotiations for
q definite settlement OF the Cuban ques-
tion and pending differences between
the two countries involving the Maine
disaster, in the event that Spain
should succeed in getting the Cubans to
consent to the armistice which the
queen has proclaimed.
For the present the matter is left in
the hands of the Congress, so far as
the President is concerned, but II any
thing should come of the negotiations,
which are known to be secretly under
way toward securing the independence
OF cuba, on an indemnity basis. there
is no doubt that the President would
quickly open negotiations with Spain
while Congress is celebrating over the
form of action 1t will take.
The administration Is not particular
ly sapguine that the insurgents win
consent to SPANS last appeal for
peace.
The text of the armistice which IL
now in possession OF the President, was
here, and II the full terms had been
known sooner, the addendum to the
Presidents message intimating desire
for delay might not have been insert
ed.
