DO NOT DESPAIR OF PEACE.

SPANISH COURT AND CABINET HOPE d.
PLoMACY MAY YET AVERT WAR.
London. April 15-The Madrid correspondent
OF The Standard" telegraphing Thursday
night. says:
The dispatches announcing the resolutions
proposed in the United States Senate and passed
by the House Of Representatives caused more
indignation and dspleasure in Madrid than
even the Presidents message Not a single pa
per admits the suppositon that such pretensions
could be tolerated by any Spanish Government
desirous Of keeping I'M harmony with the unani
nous feelings Of the nation
Some journals. like El Imparcal' Eel Lib
erar and Ell Heraldo,' caution the Government
against the perils OF allowing public opinion and
othcr Spanish parties to take the lead in patri-
otlc protest against such a fragrant assertion
or intention to encroach upon the rights and
territory Of Spain
The declarations Of Marshal Campos and the
equally firm and guarded declarations Of Sehor
Sllvela lead many to surmise that the leaders
OF the army and the Conservative party would
not shrk the responsibilities Of office II unfore-
seen eventualites brought them back to the
councils OF the Regency on the eve Of war or a
settlement Of the Cuban question with President
Mckinley
The watchword in official circles is to remain
on the defensive firmly awaiting the develop
ment Of President McKinley's action and the
advance Of American diplomacy. All sensible
and far-sghted statesmen in Spain understand
perfectly that the declarations Of their own
Government and Of President Mckinley do not
By any means make impossible a peaceful and
co, cilatory solution. If circumstances permit.
Besides. they fancy that the European Powers.
particularly Austria, France and Russia may
yet have something to say and do amicably to
check President Mckinley when he has
entire control Of the negotiations and the de-
velcpment Of American policy in his own hands.
'1n this strain Of considerations I understand
the Spanish Court and several members OF the
Cabinet do not despair or share the pessim!st
impressions prevalent in the press and in politi-
cal circles The Spanish press in Cuba echoes
the surprise and displeasure caused by the in
activity Of the Cuban Autonomist Government.

REPRESENTATIVES, OF ALL PARTIES HOPE THE
HOUSE RESOLUTION WILL BE ADOPTED.
Washington. april II (SpeciaD The House o.
Representatives was almost wholly deserted to-
day both by Representatives and spectators
and legislative business dealt with in 4
dull. spiritless and lstless fashion. which was a
most striking contrast 10 the excitement and
turbulence Of yesterday Among the Congress-
men who could be found In and about the Rep
rescntatives' chamber. however. tn. sole topic
Of conversation the Cuban situation and
the probable action OF the Senate respecting
which the latest Information was eagerly sought
and discussed Almost without exception the
hope was expressed by members Of all parties
that the Senlte would agree promptly to tia
House resolution II for no other reason than
the moral eff ,ct II would produce In Spain and
elsewhere in Europe. 1t was felt that undue
delay even an apparent lack OF harmony be-
tween the two branches OF Congress would be
exceedingly injurious both to the cause Of the
United States and that Of peace and freedom
in Cuba.
In conversation with Tribune correspondent
several prominent Democrats expressed a pref
crence for the resolution adopted yesterday
and for which they voted. over the substitute
proposed by the minority OF the Committee on
Foreign Affairs for which they also voted.
Among them Mr. Sayers. Of Texas. who.
among other things. said:
II President Mckinley Will hold a nrm rein all
Will go well. II ! were President | would appoint
a non partisan commission. composed OF men In
whom the whole country would have confidence to

official influence to the restoration OF peace and
order and the establishment there OF free and In

templates The only fear | have (and In my
opinion, IT is where the chief danger lies) Is that
somet hing may happen I'm the course OF govern
mental reconstruction there which VIII prlng a
scandal upon the United States.
The fear thus expressed by Mr.. Sayers is un-
derstood to have mpclled number Of Rep
roscntatiyes from South Carolina Georgia and
Alabama to vote against the House resolution
Yesterday AS one OF them remarked to-day to
a tribune correspondent who asked him why he

luton:
