cabinet officials and others high in the
government service. In view, however.
Of the reports of foreign committees q,

Madrid. April l5.--The feature Of the

General weyler to the front and make
him the champion of the cause of rev.

EXCHANGE OF NOTES.

washington. April l5.--It ls learned
that another exchange OF notes has been
begun among the European powers with
view to making representations on the
Spanish-American situation. The pres-
ent movement Is not OF the same mild
character as the former one, and II is
the general impression among diplomats
that there will be little difficulty In ar
irving at common ground. In view OF
the prevailing sentiment abroad. 1t Is
not SO certain. however. that all OF the
powers are ready for a step of this char
actcr. Germany has OF late shown q
disposition to avoid exerting strong IN
nuences on the United States. Russia
Is also thought TO be somewhat indif-
ferent. France and Austria are most
active In the present movement as they
were In the former one. Whether all OF
the six powers are ready 10 join in the
movement Is In doubt, and without this
united action II Is felt that the force OF
such influence would be los.

stating In detail the many concessions
she has made and pointing out that 1t
was in response to the urgent represen-
tation OF the powers that the last con-
cession Of an armistice was granted.
IL the powers determine to act, their
influence will probably be particularly
directed toward inducing the United
States to grant Spain SUFFICIENT time
within which to try the armistice re-
Gently proclaimed. During the recent
action of the powers, their main In
fuence was exerted here the only ac-
tion at Washington being the courteous
expression OF hope for peace; but the
present movement contemplates that
the influence shall be exerted In Wash
ington. as II is the common belief In
Madrid that the authorities have reached
the limit OF concessions and should now
he given adequate time to try what they
and the powers have offered as q means
OF restoring peace in Cuba.
The watchword in official circles is to
remain on the defensive, firmly await
ing the development of President Nc
Kinley's action and the advance of
American diplomacy. All sensible and
far-sighted statesmen in Spain under
stand perfectly that the declarations of
their own government and OF President
Mckinley do not by any means make
impossible a peaceful and conciliatory
solution IL circumstances permit. Be-
sides they fancy that the European
powers, particularly Austria, France and
Russia, may yet have something to say
and do amicably to check President Nc
kinley when once he has entire control
OF the negotiations and the develop
ments OF the American policy In his own
hands. In this strain OF consideration
the Spanish court and members of the
cabinet do not despair or share the
pessimistic impressions prevalent in the
press and In political circles.
A cabinet minister who was inter-
viewed said: "The true climax is ap-
preaching. but Spain is calm. She has
done everything to avert war, and is now
confident In her right and In the justice
OF her cause. She Is ready to defend her
soil and honor. When the American
government communicates its decisions,
Spain will stand ready to meet all
eventualities."
