What Madrid. Havana and Other Cap
itais Say of 1t.
| Madrid, April 12.-9 a. Incomplete
tranquility prevails this morning at the
| Spanish capital.
There were patriotic demonstrations
yesterday evening at Barcelona and Va
lencia, accompanied, by shouts of Long
live Spain. Long live the army" Long
| live Cuba" etc, but there were no dis
turbances.
The Liberal this morning publishes what
appears to be nearly a complete tranSla-
| ton of President Mckinley's message to
congress on the Cuban situation, print
ing its salient points in large type. Com
menting on the message, the Liberal says:
| Although the dispatches are extensive,
| they do not suffice for the formation of
! definite conclusions. The mistranSation
of word or a phrase would produce a
complete misunderstanding, and absolute
dependence upon the accuracy of the first
/ transmission in so serious an affair would
/ be grave indiscretiOn. Nevertheless, it
may be said that, in a general sense, it
affirms and declares in the name of the
nation the right of interference in Cuba
Whether a definite or indefinite period Is
meant and whether it is a simple init
nation or a fixed decision regarding COM
ing events, Spain must protest ener-
getically against the principle prior to
protesting violently against the action.
No free people can hesitate 10 reject by
all the means in it's power a doctrine an
nulling its personality and reducing it to
ignominious futelage. Conserving to SUBJ
NIT to it would be equivalent TO Spain's
resignation of her place among Euro
pean nations. America clearly indicates
her intention, hitherto yelled with hypo-
critical antiquities. America considers
Spain incapable of maintaining her SOW
ereignty in Cuba We have put up with
everything; but unless we ignore our his
tory and consider the Peninsula on a
level with Paraguay, Isolated from the
world, we cannot and will not submit to
this"
In conclusion the Liberal says:
ITO aviod it and to restore the self
respect due to ourselves, which is more
important than the position of Cuba, it
becomes necessary to unite in one all
Spanish arms and hearts. Let Madrid
let the whole of Spain, recall what we
have been and what we cannot cease to
be while physical and moral laws forbid
the suicide of nations"
The impartial heads its leading article:
"a Short Truce-The Squadron to Cuba
and says: There exists today a complete
divorce between the government and the
governed. This judgment is formed not on
the public demonstrations but on the gen
eraI disgust and sadness prevailing. The
ministerial folly cannot go any further.

people to unite and demand that the
fleet be sent Immediately to Cuban
waters"
