ONE REPUBLICAN OBJECTS.
He Does Not Believe the House Will
Accept Spain's Terms.


WASHINGTON, April "a leading
Republican member of the house COM
mittee on foreign affairs expressed
mistice offered by Spain, instead of
relieving the situation, would only ag-
gravate it. He said that he believed
this country would not rest short of
the complete abjuration Of the Spanish
authority over and part of Cuban ter
ritory.
81 do not believe" he said, that
the armistice arranged at this late
date by Spain will effect the attitude
of the United States. There is every
reason why Spain should want an ar
mistice now. and it might be signifi-
cant as a central motive that the rainy
season, with all the horrors it has to
the unacclimatiZed Spanish soldier,
will set in within three weeks and con-
tinue until about November.
Everybody knows what it's effects
have been on the troops sent over from
the peninsula, and, in the present con-
tingency, with her resources practical
ly exhausted. continued activity of the
Insurgents, coupled with the fatal work
of the season, may mean, and / think
would mean, a fatal termination Of the
Spanish cause in the conflict. It's OBJ
jects are relief from the hoped-for
avoidance of action by this country.
as well as delay with the Insurgents
until a more auspicious season. In
that view, I am against its considera-
ton for a moment. Our position at
this time with reference to Spain con-
templates first, intervention in hu-
manity's cause, which would not be
fulfilled by anything short Of the en-
tire sweeping away of Spanish SOW
erelgnty, and, second, the destruction
of the Maine.
Il repeat that I do not believe that
the armistice at this time will, or it
certainly should not, have any bearing
on our attitude in the situation

to America.
MADRID, April 9.-The ambassadors
today collectively called upon Senor
Gullon requesting that Spain grant the
armistice SO repeatedly begged for by
the pope.
The cabinet then met. Gen. Correa
minister Of war, and Admiral Bermeio.
minister of marine, objected to the
granting Of an armistice on the ground
that 1t would be disparaging to Span
1sh arms. The representative of Rus
STA, as military power, replied that
he considered 1t would be no disparag ge-
ment.
Objection was again made on the
ground that there was no, guarantee
that the insurgents would ACCEPT an
armistice. The representatives replied
that In that case an armistice would
mean only suspension of hostilities
and insisted upon Spain Offering the
insurgents last chance Of submission
for the sake of negotiating peace. If
the insurgents continued hostilities the
Spaniards would be allowed legitimate
self defense
The ministry then unanimously
agreed that an armistice be granted
The decision was attended by the
usual solemnity by the drafting of the
minutes, which the entire ministry
signed.
The news of the granting Of an ar
mistlce was received on the bourse with
satisfaction and rapid advance in
values quickly followed.
