unanimous protest of the Spanish peo-
pie"
The same paper then counsels Spain
to prepare to repel any kind of interview
tion-to be uncompromising and to ac-
cept nothing affecting the dignity or
sovereignty of Spain.
Beyond the fact that q few policemen
and couple of civil guards stand out
side the American Legation, there is
absolutely no sign in Madrid of the ten
sion between Spain and America. So
far rs the general public is concerned
the matter is little discussed, even the
press being today generally hopeful of a
peaceful settlement.
The note that United States Minister
Woodford presented is practically a
repetition of the one presented in Sep
tember, which in the interests of hu-
manity asked Spain for an immediate
cessation of hostilities in Cuba. Upon
Spain's reply to this matter hinges the
conference held at the Presidency this
afternoon. at which Senior Sagasta, the
Premier, Senior Gullon, the Foreign
Minister. Senior Moret. the Minister for
the Colonies, and General Woodford
were, present. and at which it has been
hoped a decision would be reached.
General Woodford's conference was OF
an hours duration, and the Ministers
continued in deliberatiOn after the
United States Minister withdrew.
In the course of an interview after
the conference, Senior Sagasta said to
the correspondent of the Associated
Press that United States Minister Wood

desired to express the wishes of his
government on the subject Of the situa.
ton in Cuba, and of the concentrates
Senior Sagasta added that the conference
decided some of these points, and that
he had promised to study General Wood
ford's propositions, and to submit them

point of view in order that the Cabinet
might take a resolution thereon.
Senior Sagasta authorized the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press TO deny
any other version of the conference as
untrue.
The conference adjourned to o'clocb
Thursday afternoon. United States
Minister WOodford seemed pleased with
the result and every indiaction points te

Apprehensive Regarding
h Phase of the Coming War.
London, April 18.-There is great
interest here in government and com.
mercial circles over the possibilities of
privateering in the event of war. Spe-
cial application for letters of marque
have been made at the Spanish en-
bassy and at the office of the Spanish
naval commission, but there were no
applications at the United States IN
bassy.
1t is generally recognized that Spain
intends to make privateering a con-
spicous element. 1t is thought. how
ever, that she will coniine her energies
in that direction to preying upon
American coatswise trade. 1t is not
believed she will risk offending the
European powers by stopping their
American-bound vessels, or searching
trans Atlantic ships for American
goods, for if European ships are mo-
Tested the powers probably will adopt
radical preventive measures.
The prominent opinion that the
United States will not embark in pri-
watering produces an excellent i'm.
preston.
At the admiralty here it is suggested
that the Spanish naval scheme will not
be to pit a fleet against the American
warships, but to scatter SPANS war.
ships about the coasts and indulge in
guerilla warfare, sweeping down upon
coast towns and retreating before they
are overtaken. 1t is deemed certain
that this will be Spain's policy il she
abandons the hope of retaining Cuba
and merely pursues a wal of revenge.

CARLOS


Urges His Followers to Fight the United
States.
Madrid, April 18.-The action taken
by the Spanish cabinet today has con-
frmed the general belief which has
been prevalent here since yesterday
that wal is now inevitable. The war
like tone OF the official note issued by
the Spanish government finds general
approval here, and creates much excite
ment. Contrary to the general opinion
that the queen regent has been negOti-
ating for peace at any price, her atti-
tude today had much to do with the
firm action of the cabinet.
1t is learned on unquestionable au-
thority that the queen regent recently
made the following statement:
81 prefer even the horrors OF war to
furnishing the prestige of the army or
impairing the rights of the crown."
Another factor undoubtedly is Don
Carlos manifesto of yesterday, of which
the following is an extract, which was
not risked submitting to the censor:
1.-THE governors of Madrid may make
a call to arms inevitable and immedl-
ately, if they continue to permit the
Spanish standard to be dragged in the
mud. Twenty years of patriotic retire
ment have proved that l am neither
ambitious o a conspiratOr. The
greater and better part of my life as a
man has been spent in the difficult
task of restraining my natural i'm
pulses, and those of my enthusiastic
Carlists, whose eagerness | was the
first to appreciate, but which, never
theless, | curbed, although it went to
my heart to do 80. Today, national
honor speaks louder than anything and
the same patriotic duty which formerly
babe me say wait yet awhile may
leave me to Cry, commanding the Carl
lists, 'Carlists, forward and not only
the Carlists, but all Spaniards, espe-
cially the two national forces who will
still bravely make their stand-the
people and the army. If the glove
which the Yankee has flung in the
face of Spain is picked up by Madrid,
| will continue the same example of
abnegation as before, with the excep-
tion that | cannot partake in the
slightest other than by prayers and by
the influence of my name"
