Tho Colorado Springs Gazette
recently criticised the Denver
daily press for its one sided ex-
tracts from the papers published
in other cities and towns of the
state. The Gazette very truly de-
clared that "the press clippings
columns of the Denver papers are
very far from a dependable guide
to the public sentiment as express
ed by the Colorado newspapers.
This is undoubtedly true. We
endorse the Gazette's assertion
and there is no personal chagrin
involved in oun endorsement. Tho

paper was called during its first

quently been quoted by all the
Denver dailies. But we have
observed that, speaking generally,
such cuttings from our columns
have been only those whose tone
agreed with the editorial senti-
ment of the paper in which they
republished. The exceptions have
been few And such is the ex-
perience of all the country" pa
pers. 1t is pity that the Denver
press is not sufficiently metropoli-
tan to rise above politics and af-
ford its readers an impartial in
sight into the opinions of the rest
of the state. Cuttings from the
state press are very interesting.
We imagine that a majority of the
readers of the Denver papers
poruse these clippings regularly.
But how much more interesting
would they be did they contain di-
verse and opposing views ,instehd
Of being toned to nuetral tint or
colored with party prejudice.

sent to Minister Woodford concerning
his withdrawal from Madrid, that being
left to his discretion. The prospects
of his withdrawal have been fully con-
sidered and there is reason to believe that
in the event of his retirement the British
ambassador at Madrid Will LOOK after
American interests and afford protection
to such Americans as remain in Spain.
This, it is stated, in an authoritative
quarter, is part Of a comfy between the
United States and Great Britain and re-

today that the Spanish sfeet of cruisers

again they had been led to suppose that

like Cuba, Porto Rico and the PHILIPPINES

aggression on land from the very small
regular forces and poorly organized
militia of America.
!. AT home they are persuaded that their
coasts and forts have nothing to iear, as
the reserve can be called out and the coast
guarded without difficulty. They put much
confidence in the idea Of sending priva-
teers to raid upon the American merchant
and coasting fleets. These optimistic
views are not shared in high political and
professional circles, where grave appre-

THEIR VAIN HOPES.


At Madrid They Still Think Something
VIII Happen o Help Them Out.
London. April THE Madrid CORES
pondent of the Daily Mail says:
.sThe note of the powers has caused
general satisfaction, the government I'M
derstands that this is a means of honor
ably solving Cuban affairs. Although
dispatches from Washington continue
pessimlstic, it is believed here, without
any sort of doubt, that some time has
been gained which will enable both gov
ernments to prepare solutions of the
crisis.
"As yet the powers have communi-
Gated nothing in an official manner to
Spain; and the ministers do not know
what course will be taken. They
imagine the powers will help the Pope's
action. In diplomatic circles it is said
that the present political truce will be
profted by in order to prepare a peace
full solution which will crown the move
ment of sympathy shown by all Europe
toward Spain.
"On the occasion of the procession here
today, six ministers attended the cere-
monies in the Royal Palace. Seniors
Sagasta and Moret and Admiral BermeJo,
however, were absent. After the pro-
cessions the Queen Regent had two
hours conversation with the ministers,
dealing with the international problem
and with the measures to be taken IN
order to meet it, The ministers are very
reserved as to the details of the convef-
sation.
II have good cause to know, however,
that the resolution of the government is
to wait until the powers make their pro
posals. When they do. my impression IS
that Spain will accept them. After thelf
conversation with the Queen Regent the
ministers went to the private residence
of Senior Sagasta in order to report TO
him what had occurred. The fact thae
General Woodford had withdrawn his
note of April is much commented
upon"

upon majority of the committee, though
they assert that they have made headway.
They recognize the fact that even with
the majority of the committee their way,
there still would remain several senators,
including Thurston, Pettigrew, GalltDger
and Mason, whom it would be very dlld
cult to win over to any line of action
that does not provide for the recognition
Of the present Cuban government and
who will insist upon debating q contrary
policy. They are finding fewer obstacles
TO progress among Democrats, Populists
and Silver Republicans than among
st raight Republicans.
The movement to consider the whole
Cuban question in executive session is
gaining ground. The senators who have
looked up the precedents find the only
parallel case to- the epresent that when
war was declared against Great Britain
in 1919, the declaration was considered IN
secret session.
Tonight the conservative Senators who
are opposing any recognition of the presen.
Cuban government claim that a majority
OF the committee on foreign relations
will support this position contenting
themselves with general declaration for
the freedom and independence of the
island, coupled with proposition for il
tervention in the present war between
Spain and Cuba. They count upon get
ting the votes of six of the eleven men,
bers of the committee and say this num-
ber may still be increased.
