M'kINleY'S PLANS.


Ready to Reopen Negotiations with
spain " Anything Turns mp.
, 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 es-
tablishing peace and order in Cuba. he
proposes to exercise 1t first by transmit
ting to Spain a copy of the resolution
with the statement that his obligation
requires him to carry out the will and a
notification that he will do SO at once
unless Spain ~withdraws from the island.
In other words, the president will de-
liver an ultimatum to Spain before
making a naval demonstration. in the
hope that Spain may at the last mo-
ment consent to a concession OF the In
dependence Of the people Of the island
upon some other basis which may be
satisfactory to all parties involved. IL
war should then come, whether holy"
or 'unholy." he will feel that the re-
sponsibility is on Spain. The one signi-
ficant sign of peace is that diplomatic
relations between the United States and
Spain have not been severed as a re-
suit Of the message sent to congress to-
day. 1t Ii true that all of u con
suls have been called out of Cuba and
this would indicate a preliminary sign
of war. but our minister is still at Ma
drid and SPANS representative is still
here.
1t was supposed that when the presi-
dents message went to congress Spain
would at once take umbrage n recall
Minister Polo. She has not lone so,
nor has the president recalled Minister
Woodford. The two ministers are thus
at their posts of duty n in q position
to resume negotiations for a definite
settlement Of the Cuban question 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 pro-
claimed. For the present the matter is
left in the hands OF 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 d~elibsraIiGg over the
form of action II will take. The anmin-
~istration is not particularly sangLihe
that the insurgents Will consen. 10

mored Cruisers.
New York, April 12.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent sends this
news of the Spanish naval operations:
Instead of the battleship Pelayo sailing
for the Canaries several days ago, she
had merely gone to sea for her final
trial. A message announcing the re-
turn of the Pelayo from her trial states
that she made an extreme speed of Is
Knots an hour. The armored cruiser
Carlos ", the officials have been in
formed. will be ready to Join the force
which sailed for the Canary islands in
a few days. She will he accompanied
by the remainder of the torpedo boats
now at Cadiz. The troops sent by Spain
to the Canaries are to be employed in
manning the Notifications i'm order to
prevent the islands from falling into
the hands OF the United States I'm case
Of war. for they are a most important
base of supplies for the Spanish YES
sells and Spain.
That Spain will be benefited by delay
in acting is a matter of common talk in
naval circles. The iron battleship Nu-
mancia will be ready within a very
short time and three torpedo gun ves-
sells will be shortly ready for service.
Within three weeks Spain will be in her
best position. not only in the way of
getting her ships ready. but I'm getting
them to points where it will be easy for
them to be quickly combined.

GERMAkY'S ATTITUDE.
Nothing to Gain and Much to Lose by
Favoring spain.


New York. April 1.-THE following
statement was made to a New York
World representative In Berlin by a
gentleman who, although not an official
himself, Is intimately acquainted with
h views of the foreign department
and personally knows it's chiefs: 1T il
the opinion of Herr Won BeuIow, Ger
many's foreign minister. that there
will be no war" He believes that Spain
will yield at the last moment. preferrins
TO risk the temporary satisfactory at
home which will result from her yield
ing to American demands rather than
face the certain revolution and dynasty
crash which would be the utcome of an
unsuccessful war. Neither the kaiser
nor his foreign minister was attracted
by the proposition of mediation COM
ing from the emperor of Austria-Hun-
gary and they gave II only lukewarm
support.
At Washington the World correspon-
dent is informed that the foreign Office
in Berlin and the leading ommerciai
circles are in their hearts not averse
to the idea of a war between America
and Spain. The chambers of commerce
in both Hamburg and Bremen, or rath-
err the leading members of those bodies.
have expressed sanguine hopes that
hostilities would be followed by a
large Increase i'm the volume of Ger
mar trade both with Spain and the
United States.
The last few days have seen a modi-
fication of the anti-American views Of
the ministerial press. II is beginning
to be recognized that Germany has
several thorny questions to settle with
America and that the expressions of too
pronounced friendship for Spain is not
the best proposition for their satisfac-
tory solution in the future.
London. April 12.-According to a
special dispatch from Berlin the i'm
preston created at the German capital
by McKinley's message was not very
favorable. Its tone is considered dila-
tory, and as not promising peace.

1t is too late to avoid war. as Spain is
apparently determined to fight a hope
less battle rather than yield to de-
mands which. though expressed by
America alone, are i'm reality the de-
worlu's civilization"
The st. James Gazette complains
that the message leaves everything In
a state of uncertainty. but says: "Presi-
dent Mckinley and congress may well
hesitate to accept the really serious re-
sponsibility confronting the United
States by accepting the bands of brig
ands as a government"
The Globe expresses the opinion that
'it is a message of a~bdication," adding:
while the situation in Cuba is emf
nently unsatisfactory, IL is a question
whether American interference on the
lines suggested is likely to improve
matters. The refusal to recognize the
insurgents will not relieve the tension
between the United States and Spain"
The Westminster Gazette thinks the
presidents message has made out an
excellent Ease for the Intervention of
the United States, adding: The United
States has large claims for intervention
in all affairs in America. The Vene-
zuela arbitration established q far

one is attempted. IL not expected to lie

is that the army should follow imma-
