MADRID EXCITED AND ANGRY.
The special dispatches to the morning papers
! from Madrid to-day give for the most part .
tare recital OF the armistce negotiations. The
Madrid correspondent Of THE Daily Telegraph"
telegraphing Sunday and dealing with the SEN
saton caused by the ermistice announcement
says:
AT first nobody believed the rumor probable.
because the Government had emphatically de-
cared that this step would be Incompatible with
the honor Of Spain. When. finally, the report
was confirmed all Madrid displayed sentiments
OF dissatisfaction and excitement. Newspapers
were Sold read and discussed all night. The
| principal cafes were crowded with groups OF
politicians. and the policy Of the Cabinet was
condemned In vigorous terms.
THE garrison was wisely confined to bar
racks, the indignation in military circles being
| expressed In a way which BODIES no good to the
present Spanish Cabinet All the independent
press organs even those inclining to the Lib
eraI party. condemn the Governments action as
derogatory to Spanish honor and calculated to
bring about irreparablc disaster, not to the
Cabinet alone. which has risked its future on
the success or failure Of submission to the
European Powers Other and greater interests
have been jeopardzed to much greater ex-
tent than war itself could have jeopardzed
them"
WEYLER not ALONE.

quoting from "El Imparcal" "El Pals" and
other papers. to illustrate this feeling. says

integrity Of the fatherIand. and that he can
rely upon Carlists. Republicans. Spanish Gu
bans and the bulk Of the army From trust

assumed unwonted and undesirable forms very
shortly. The Cabinet has had no opportunity
of iustifying its action. and neither the Army
nor the people ere willing to be assured that
the concessions just made are justihabe."
