CONSULS IN SPAIN.

Permission Has Been Given Them by the
United States Government to Leave if
They Desire.
WASHINGTON, April Permission
has been given by the state department
to the United States consuls in Spain
to leave that country if they so desire
pending the threatened severance of
all diplomatic relations between Spain
and this country. They have not been
ordered to leave, as such case is not re-
sorted to except in the case Of a rup-
ture between the two nations, but they
are permitted to exercise their own dis
erection in the matter. The effects Of the
cOnsulates, such for instance as unim-
pOrtant papers and furniture, will be
turned over to the representative of
some friendly government. AS Great
Britain has authorized her consular Of
ticers in Cuba to take charge of the eff
fects of all United States cOnsulates
there it is presumed like authority
will be given to English consular Of

DEMONSTRATION
In the Streets of Madrid in Favor of the
Army and Against the Government.
Demonstrators Visit the Military Club
and the Offices of the Liberal
Newspapers-There Were Nu-
merOus Arrests.

MADRID, April 1.-THE Puerta del
Sol is now densely packed. a large
body of police is drawn up near the
Hotel de Paris, where the civil govern
or of Madrid is dining. Occasionally
the cry viva Espana," is raised and
re-echoed by thousand voices The
correspondent of a press association
saw one arrest A respectable looking
individual was brought to the hotel
doorway, where he asked to be loosed
from physical custody, promising to
accompany the police quietly.
Senior Aguilera, the civil governor,
resumed his interrupted dinner. But
fresh cries arose, and the burly, good
tempered governor rushed into the
thickest of the mob, brandishing a
stick, but hitting nobody.
Senior Aguilera is a man of
gigantic proportions and the
best loved individual in Mad
rid. The manifestants scuttled in
all directions before his shilielagh,
producing a comic effect and reducing
the disturbance to it's true proper
tons The police are acting admira-
bly, and the military are kept in re-
serve at the barracks in case of an
emergency. Should there be more be-
meath the surface than appears, praise
is due for the precautions taken.
At 11:10 p. III. demonstrations con-
tinued in favor of the army and against
the government. The demonstrators
have visited the Military club and the
offices of the liberal newspapers.
There have been numerous arrests and
many of the demonstrators have been
injured.
At 1920 p. m. a large crowd was still
parading the Puerto Del Sol, crying
Long live Spain" and Long live the
army" The civil governor Of Mad
rid is among Them. promenading up
and down, begging them to disperse
peacefully.
The crowd. relying on the kind
heartedness Of the governor, whom the
population of Madrid adores. refuses
to disperse, and is bent on visiting the
Military club to make a demonstration
of sympathy. The authorities pro-
hibit the formation of groups in front
of the Military club, the presidency
or the American legation. Gen.
Castelvi was offered at the Military
club a banner to head the demOnstra-
ton; but he refused, alleging that the
crowd was composed of the dregs of
the city. Several of the ringleaders
have been arrested, the civil governor
threatening to call out the civic guards
if the crowds do not disperse."

COL ments on the Latest Phase of the
Gil ban Situation-The Armistice "A Rec
OGnitiOn of the Cuban Insurgents as
BaIligerents.
LONDON, April 1.-THE Times COM
netting editOrially Monday morning
on the latest phase of the situation
says:
I'VE can not doubt that had the Sa-
gasta government taken this truly
statesmanlike and patriotic action a
little earlier it would have led to a So
luton honorable to Spain and satisfac-
tory to America. Even now, despite
the OminOus tone of our New York
correspondent, we find it hard to be-
lieve that so signal an advance on the
part of Spain will not meet with some
response from Washington
1T is to be earnestly hoped that
nothing in President McKinley's mes
sage will CRATE needlessly upon the
feelings of Spain or enhance Senior
Sagasta's difficulties
The Daily Mail says:
THE armistice implies a recogni-
ton Of the insurgents as belligerents
and it is therefore a very notable step,
If not tOOslate."
The Daily Graphic thinks that unless
the powers are convinced that the
Cuban insurgents will accept an armis-
tice and the United States is ready to
give autonomy a fair trial, the pro-
ceedingS are more creditable to their
hearts than to their heads

ARMISTICE MEANS NOTHING.
Gen. COrrea, Spanish Minister of War, Lets
the Cat Out of the Bag.

the Cat Out or the bag.
MADRID, April LEI impartial saws
that Lieut.. Gen. Correa, minister of
war, in a conversation Saturday with
several people expressed himself as
follows:
''It is an error to say that the gov
eminent has granted an armistice to
the rebels. l would never give that
before leaving the ministry, because
it would be the same thing as recOg-
nizing the belligerency of the rebels
The government has granted the
wishes of the powers that we should
cease hOstilities during the day which
Gen. Blanco judges prudent for pre-
pairing peace. l acceded to a cessation
of hOstilities, because to refuse the
wishes of the powers would be to di-
vOrce Spain from the world. If l left
the cabinet l should be placing my
successor in an awkward position.
Gen. Blanco will probably publish
a proclamation of truce, and also an
other offering indulgent terms during
the cessation of hOstilities. If, during
this period, there are important SUBJ
missions and the United States with
draws its ships from the neighbour
hood of Cuba and the Philip
pines, all will be well and peace
will soon be reached. Otherwise
the Cuban war will continue, and
the powers will be obliged to demand
that the United States maintain abso-
lutte neutrality and enforce a dissolu-
ton of the filibustering committee in
New York. The armistice is not to
prevent the Spanish government con-
tinuing its military preparations, and
placing the peninsula. the Canaries.

land has detailed two navy officers
to make a thorough examination of
two of the best twoboats in

is favorable the two boats may
go into commission as adherents to
the Pacific coast squadron. In the
event of war the navy on the Pacific
coast will be short of tugs. They are
