New York, April a.-Spain's officia
representatives in Cuba are preparin!
to let go, says the Havana correspon
dent of the Tribune. The confidential
talk in Spanish circles is now of yield
ing control for indemnity, though tn
amount is placed much higher than cal
ever be paid. The most pronounced
evidence, that Spain Is yielding, come.
from the autonomist cabinet. The resig

autonomlst cabinet will be used as a
scape goat for the Spanish public.

righted dispatch dated April /, on board

spondent boarded the Vizcaya at II

Views of Members of Parliament.
The concensus of the views of the
of parliament is that Spain, as
a last resort, will find some means of es-
Gaping war for which she has no re-
sources, and which must end in not only
Cuban independence, but an enormous

Berlin, April 2.-The German ambas-

and the military party. Everything is

The boy king, Alfonso, will be taken to
San Lucas de Barameda, where q yacht
