Maine question to experts designated
by the maritime powers of the world.
This document was the Official noti-
fication of the Spanish government to
the United States of the granting OF an
armistice and its essential terms.
Minister Woodford's dispatch had
briefly stated the fact that an armistice
had been agreed upon, but it was not
communicated as coming from the
Spanish government.
The official communication cleared
up misapprehension on the most vital
point OF Spa MS concession, namely,
that the ARM stice was without condi-
tions.
The note was received by the state
department after the frat cabinet meet
ing, and was one OF the main subjects
Of consideration at the second cabinet
meeting held in the evning.
Although the Spanish note was sur
rounded with the usual secrecy OF ofti-
cial negotiations, the following sum-
mary Of its contents was secured:
"The Spanish minister in Washing
ton deeply impressed by the numerous
errors which seem to have obtained
credit in public opinion in America
In regard to the Cuban question, con-
siders II his duty to call again the at
tention of the secretary Of state OF the
United States to the following points:
"First-Her majesty, the queen re-
gent OF Spain, DESTROYS OF ending the
troubles which are desolating Cuba,
has commanded suspension OF hos
tilities. General Blanco has been or
dered to proclaim an armistice with
out conditions. He will determine
later the duration and details OF this
armlstice so as to carry out the gener-
Gus intentions of her majesty and the
wishes of the friends OF peace.
"second-Her majesty's government
has granted to the island Of Cuba in
situations as liberal as those enjoyed
by Canada under the British flag. The
Cuban chambers will meet on the
fouth OF next May. II will be their
duty and privilege to put into prac-
tice and develop these institutions. In
addition to this Cuba Is represented
In the parliament at Madrid.
"Third-Public opinion In this
country appears to ignore the fact that
the loss Of the Maine was immedi-
ately followed by Official and reiterat-
cd expressions OF coincidence from her
majesty. the queen. from her govern
ment, from her charge d'affaires In
Washington. and from the authorities
in Havana; ali OF which tended 10 af-

firm the horror which this disaster
had caused to arise In Spanish hearts,
as also the sympathy felt for the Unit
ed States government and navy and
for the American nation. The Spanish
minister feel confident that he can
count upon the courtesy and sense Of
justice Of the United States govern
ment to enlighten public opinion upon
this subject.
"Fourth-As to the cause of this
lamentable disaster, It resolves itself
into a question of facts, which can
only be settled by material proofs.
The Spanish minister reiterates the
assurance that this government is
ready to submit the question to ex-
perts designated by the maritime pow
ers, whose conclusions are in advance
accepted"
Senior Polo delivered the document
In person to the state department, and.
aside from the interest in the commu-
nication itself, the call had added inter-
est as an evidence of renewal of dip
lomatic negotiations, this being his
nrst call at the department in 10 days.
Later Senior Du Bose, first secretary
Of the legation, made another call at
the department on same general sub
ject- Besides delivering the note, the
call permitted a personal exchange be-
tween the secretary of state and the
Spanish officials of an agreeable char
acter.

charged with responsibility do not like to
think of. Probably many thousands OF
them, already suffering for the necessities
Of life, would starve before peace could be
declared. One reason why President Mo
Kinley was last week 80 loath to let slip
the dogs Of war was because no had been
informed OF the terrible plight Of the re-
concentrates In case war between Spain
and the United States were added to their
other woes. Louis Klopsch, who has done
such good work In feeding the starving
victims Of SPANS cruelty, told the presi-
dent that II war were to come 100, 900 of
these unfortunate people would perish.
The Feeling In Spain.
The prevailing idea in Washington DUR
ing the past week has been that there OK
listed in Spain public sentiment akin to
that which exists here "a determination
on the part of the people to destroy any
government that stood in the way Of the
popular will. In Spain the people demand
ed that Cuba should not be given up with
out a struggle, while in the Unitod States
they demanded that Cuba must DO free.
The government Of Spain, IL was believed,
would be as powerless to check this senti-
ment and as unable to stand before It as
the government at Washington has beon
to control public sentiment in this coun-
try. Could both governments do as they
please no doubt way out Of the difficulty
without war would have been found long
ago, but under the circumstances It Is
easy to see why matters have drifted along
as they have, like two storms coming to-
gether.
The strain in Washington during the
last four or five weeks has been the great
est seen in the capital since tho days of
the civil war. l never before saw such q
deep and bitter feeling in this capital, nor
have ever before seen a time Of public
stress in which so many men ordinarily
well balanced and sensible lost their heads
and said and did foolish things.
