JUST WHAT SPAIN WANTS
EXPRESSION OF
SAGASTA'S SENTIMENTS
DOns Would Be Pleased if the United
States Will Hold OFF Until There
Is an Election in Cuba to Test the
Plan of Autonomy on the Island.

WASHINGTON, March ia state
rectly the sentiment Of the Spanish
cabinet in the present emergency was
made today. It is not desired to give
it the form of an official utterance, but
rather an exposition from one whose
opportunities for information are COM
plete, on the views animating the rul-
ing authorities of Spain. The state
ment is as follows:
The elections in Cuba are about to occur
and the government desires them to be as
free as possible. Naturally however, the
and 1t is felt also that renewed insurgent
activity, coming at such a moment might
jeopardize the successful working out of
the autonomist plan.
Moreover, the attitude of the United
States in having a squadron so near Cuba
and the active war preparations in the
United States are of nature that may ex-
ert an influence against a fair expression
OF public will under the autonomist plan
1t is thought that, If the United States
were sincere in Its expressions of friend
ship to Spain, even if it thought that au-
tonomy could not meet every expectation, it
show sympathy with the liberal regime in
augurated in Cuba.
If the Washington government made
known indirectly to the insurgents that 1t
meant to have peace in Cuba, and that
peace in Cuba may be had with autonomic
government under Spain, the instruction
would certainly die out.
II, later, the Weyler party wanted to in
terfere. 1t would be time then for the Unit
ed States to take action. The action would
then be justifabie. Now to make war on
Spain would be a crime, and for that Crime
to civilization and humanity the United
States would be responsible.
