Spain without . Friend in Europe.


1t was stated today in high diplo-
matte quarter that the Spanish govern
ment, within the last 10 days, had ad-
dressed a note to the great powers of
Europe, fully setting forth the grave
aspect OF the controversy with the
United States and at least inferentially
suggesting that the time was now OPP
perfume for European influences to be
exerted.
Up to the present time, however, no
actual step toward mediation or inter-
vention has been taken by any foreign
power, though there is little doubt that
France stands ready to take the initia-
tive, if there is the slightest evidence
that the United States government will
view with favor such move.

At the close of the cabinet meeting
today Secretary Alger gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
$50 far from there being any differ
ence of opinion among the members OF
the cabinet, they are all in hearty ac-
cord with the president. How could
the president have said more? He
gave congress the report at once and
stated that he had forwarded it to
Spain, and is awaiting her reply. He
must take one step at a time. 1t may
be said further that there need be no
fear that he will not take the next. He
has not lost moment in presenting,
not only the Maine incident, but the
whole situation to Spain. The coun-
try can we'll afford to await the result
Of the negotiations, which will be
promptly made to whatever result"

today for the transfer of the Twenty
fifth regiment of infantry to Dry

troops is regarded as significant in

there was even some talk over the rul-

this talk seems to be in air. 1t has no

ton here is outwardly of the calmest
description, the actual position OF
affairs is regarded as critical by both
the United States legation and the
Spanish government The United
States minister, General Stewart Wood
ford, is working and will continue to
work theoretically for peace until the
first gun is fired. 1t is known the
Spanish admits the desirability or ne
cessity of complying with the demands
of the United States, and it is only in

put this Willingness in concrete form
where the danger lies. If conference
were to be held with the German OF

settled without question. The point
which General Woodford is now press

hostilities in Cuba must cease immedi-
ately. No date was fixed either in the
first or in the present note, but the
United States is now dwelling upon
the Immediately, and insisting that
Spain accept it's general Interpretation.
The public generally is taking little
apparent interest in the situation, but
there is general disinclination to be-
lieve that war is likely.
