SUNDAY BULL FIGHT
 INTERESTS MADRID
People Forget the War Crisis, but the Pfess Makes Bitter
 Criticisms

MADRID, April 1.-The usual Sun day bull fight absorbed the people overshadowing the action of the United States Senate as a topic of discussion.
 The general tone of the press is firmly warlike. Fl Liberal (moderate Repub- lican) welcomes the Senate's decision, although it is hostile, since it helps to disentangle a situation which is be- coming insupportable to the Spaniards, as shown by the outburst at Malaga and elsewhere. Fl Liberal expresses the hope that the joint committee will come to a decision quickly, en- abling Spain to know definitely her fate.
 The journals which comment on the Senates resolution consider them as further proof of Americas scheme of annexation, and point out that it comes on the very day on which the Havana delegates proposed the starting to con- fer with the insurgents. Government circles feel that the resolutions are fresh obstacles raised to the union of the insurgents and the autonomists in Cuba.

RED CROSS TO SEND
 SUPPLIES TO CUBA
Navy and Military Escort Will Be Provided for the Society's
 Agents.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Gen. tral Cuban Relief Committee of New York will load an American steamship with supplies for the relief of the re- concentrados in Cuba immediately and dispatch her to Key West for orders. She will be followed as soon as possible by a second ship. Both will sail under the Red Cross flag and be in charge of Red Cross agents. A naval and mili- tary escort will be provided in accord ance with le Geneva treaty, should hostilities have broken out before the arrival at Key West.
 A sufficient number of agents of the American National Red Cross will ac- company the ships to effectually carry on the distribution. Probably Miss Barton will join the first ship at Key West.
 The War and Navy Departments and Surgeon General Sternberg have been notified of the readiness of the American National Red Cross to ren- der service supplemental to the army and navy medical departments if called upon.

break of War.
 LONDON, April 1S.-The Rome cor respondent of the Times says: In Vat ican circles the opinion is still held that an outbreak of war may yet be pre- vented, and a rumor is afioat to the eff feet that the Pope is endeavoring to persuade Spain to recognize the inde- pendence of Cuba
 Among continental diplomatists a certain degree of irritation is obserVa- ble at what is alleged to be the attitude of England Some of the powers, which have special reasons to fear the consequences of Spanish defeat, are evidently Of the opinion that Europe has lost a rood opportunity Of afflrm- ing her interests as compact political organization in opposition to the inter ests of America
 At some future time. it Is thought, England. may rue her failure to co-op- crate with the other powers in creating a precedent for united European oppo- sition to American high-handedness. It Is noticeable, however, that somewhat inadequate knowledge of the present state of feeling in America prevails in quarters where these opinions are en- terta1ned.
 The Rome correspondent of the Daily News says: I am assured that the Queen Regent herself, as we'll as the Pope and Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, would favor abandoning Cuba as the only means to avert war. Arch bishop Ireland cables that renouncing the island is the only possibility of avoiding war.
