reject these tenders. There is no dis
position 10 urge one rather than an
other so long a. the conclusions final
ly reached brings the termination of
the war aud Cuban independence.
Never bcior" until now has The Span
lSh government even for a moment en-
tertained such Propositions. Now, in
the stress of the present emergency,
with declarations Of war introduced in
the American congress. Spain has re-
luctantly consented to consider them.
This in itself has given lively hope of
satisfactory results. But. il involves
grave crisis in Spain, and il cannot be
forctold what the final action at Mad
rid will be Until yesterday il was
believed that Spain would Indignantly
reject proposition involving The in
dependence of Cuba, or American i'll
tervention o" the disappearance Of the
Spanish flag from the island. either
through purchase by the Cubans or
otherwise. There was the best Of
reason for the official belief that as

coupled with nC little excitement, as
word was passed about that the last
stage III til" negotiations with Spain
was reached. Many representative
men of congress, senator's and repre-
SenratiycS. called at the White House
and conferred with the president TO
the leaders in congress h. stated that
definite results were expected from
Madrid by Friday. This served to
ailay the intense feeling which had
been manifested in congress. and
through the leaders further radical
action by the senate and house was
for the time being deferred
The situation at the capitol is one Of
waiting expectancy. Senators and rep
resentatives are willing 10 give the
president an opportunity 10 carry out
his plans, but there is impatience to
have some information regarding these
plans and som" assurances that they
will not delay action too long.
