Madrid. April q, Ills a. m.-The
ultimatum of the United States was
received early this morning in English.
The Spanish government immediately
broke diplomatic relations with tbs
United States. notifying the United
States minister before he was able to
present any note.
The following is the text of the note
received this morning by General
Woodford from Senior Gullon, minister
OF foreign affairs:
Dear Sir: In compliance with
painful duty, l have the honor to in
form you that there has been sanction
ed by the president of the republic. a.
resolution of both chambers of the
United States which denies the legfti-
mate sovereignty of Spain and threat
ems armed intervention in Cuba, which
is equivalent to declaration of war.
The government of her majesty has
ordered her minister to return without
loss of time from North American ter
rltory, together with all the personnel
of the legation
BY this act the diplomatic relations
heretofore existing between the two
countries and all official communica-
tons between their respective repre-
Sentatives cease

so that you may make such arrange
ments as you think fit 1 beg your ex-
cellency to acknowledge receipt of this
note at such time as you deem proper.
Taking this opportunity to reiterate to
you the assurances of my distinguished
consideration.
(Signed) '.P GIuI.ON"
Thereupon General Woodford at his
request was handed his passports.

of the ultimatum to the Spanish lega-
ton here had served al purposes.
Senator Cullom of Illinois, of the
foreign relations committee, was at
this conference also, and at II o'clock
on leaving the White House said that
the handing of the passports to Min
lister Woodford constituted the Spanish
reply and ended all peaceful relations.
While an effort might be made in con-
gress to make a formal declaration of
war there was no occasion for it, and
in his opinion there probably would be
none.
He added: There is enough of a
state Of war now existing" Every
thing now. he suggested, would go
ahead without preliminary action of a
declaration of war by congress. The
next step. he said would be to call out
the troops.
The president did not indicate to the
senators and members of the house
with whom he talked today that he
considered a declaration of war neces-
sary and it is with that he has been
advised by some of those on whose adj
vice he most relies that no declaration
is necessary. One of the leading SEN
atorS considered that the congressional
resolutions and the ultimatum sent to
Spain are all that is necessary to give
notice to the world that a state of war
exists, while others hold that a mani

before leaving the department that the

Senator Davis Remark After Hearing
the Madrid News.


Washington. April 21-Diplomatic re-
lations between the United States and
Spain are at an end. 1t is expected that
from now on, events will move with
amazing rapidity up To the climax of
kactuaI war. Assistant Secretary of
State Day early today received a cable
gram from Minister Wocdford, at Ma
drid, stating that he had been handed
his passports. and had been notified
that official relations between the Unit
ed States and Spain were ended.
His cablegTdm said that he had been
given his passports before he had an
opportunity TO present the ultimatum

the Spanish government, the delivery
of the ultinlatum TO Minister Polo hav-
ing been accepted by the Spanish gov
eminent as a formal announcement on
our part
Judge Day at once hurried to the
White House, where he found President
Mckinley about to enter a carriage to
take Mrs Mckinley to the railroad sta
ton, where he intended to see her off
on short trip TO New York. The news
that diplomatic relations between the
United States and Spain were formally
az an end was so important that the
president bade a hasty goodby to his
wife on the White House portico, and
repaired Immediately to the upstairs
Part of the house, where he and Judge
Day held a conference, the result of
which was the dispatch of Secretary
Porter to the capitol, to communicate
the news to the senate committee on
foreign relations, and also to leading
members OF the house. 1t is presumed
that this was done in order to Facilitate
any action deemed necessary by con-
gresS.

Washington. April 21.-War between
the United States and Spain is fact,
though not officially declared so by
congress.
The stirring events of yesterday.
were succeeded today with rapidity by
others of equal Importance, culminat-
ing in the afternoon in orders for the
departure Of the North Atlantic
squadron for Havana. This practically
is an act of war. so that the war be-
tween this country and Spain may fair
ly be said to date from today, April
q, 1898.
Two minutes after the opening of the
state department this morning came
word from Minister Woodford that the
Spanish government had anticipated
and prevented his intention to present
the presidents ultilnatum, and he had
asked for his passports. The admin
istration in a public statement an
nounced that il regarded the action of
the Spanish government as rendering
unnecessary further diplomatic action
on the part of the United States and
further stated that it regarded the
course adopted by Spain as ore plac-
ing upon that country the responsible
fty for the breach of friendly relations.
I WooDFoRD's ACTION.
Minister Woodferd's action during
the day, as reported to the state de-
partment in a late telegram, indicated
that he was following q carefully pre-
pared programme. A significant fea-
ture OF message was the statement
thatsEfile Spanish government notified
him that il regarded its withdrawal of
Minister Polo yesterday as terminating
diplomatic negotiations. showing that
it was not disposed to accept the eX-
messed intention of our government to
continue Mr. Woodford as a medium
OF communication until Saturday noon.
IN BRITISH HANDS.
Mr.. Woodford also announced that
he had, instructed Consul General Bow
Ell at Barcelona, TO call upon all
Amer lean consuls 70 withdraw. He fur
ther stated he had informed the Span
ish government, after asking for his
passports. that he had placed the
American legation in Madrid and
American interests in Spain generally
in the hands of the British embassy.
