He Thinks 1IcKinley's Message Is De

Will be Resented by Spain.

MADRID, April l3.-senor sagasta in
an interview last evening said: II con
slider President Mckinley's message de-
plorable. ] think it was forced upon
him by the clamor of Congress, which
took advantage OF his weakness. be-
lieve that Mr. Mckinley bimself wished
to considerably modify the message, but
some adviser dissauded him from doing
so.
"The duration of the Cuban armistice
depends upon the conduct of the insur:
gents and the attitude OF the United
States. The Spanish Minister at Wash

the American Government further
memorandum through Secretary Sher.

Premier Sagasta considered that Con-
gress was likely to confer upon the Presi.
dent the powers he asked. With regard
to further intervention through the
friendly efforts of the Powers, Senior
Sagasta said: "They cannot do any more
than they have already done without
running the risk of having their friendly
counsel regarded as an imposition"
