ENGLISH ADVICE NOT INTRUDED BalfOur Makes a State ment in the House of
 Commons.
Would Be Sorry to Believe That America Resented Britain's
 Action.
There Is Rush of Englishnen to Enlist in the United States
 Navy.
Special Dispatch to The Call,

LONDON, April 19.-In the House of Commons to-day MT. Balfour. Govern ment leader, replying to James H. Dal- ziel (LiberaD, said that the British Elm bassador at Washington, Sir Julian Pauncefote, at the end of March was authorized to join with the other Ambassadors in friendly representa- tions to the United States. provided we were first assured that such represen- tations were likely to be well received and useful"
 Continuing. MT. Balfour said: Sir Jr- Han Pauncefote accordingly joined with the others, and the British Charge d'Af faires at Madrid, on April g. joined with the representatives of the other powers in verbal identical representations ex- pressing the opinion that the Spanish Government would do well to feet a suspension of hostilities, which might lead to an honorable understanding for the peace of Cuba No further repre- sentations have been made"
 Michael Davitt Qrish Nationalist asked whether the representations had not been resented by popular opinion in America as an unwarranted inter- ference in the domestic responsibilities of the republic.

by withdrawing her forces, but sure- ly those who make such a suggestion must be aware that no nation could act upon it, at least no such nation as Spain. It would be idle to deny that we feel bitterly about the entire mat ter"
 LONDON, April 2O-The Madrid correspondent of the Standard, tele- graphing on Tuesday, says: un- derstand the speech from the throne will review the whole course of the relations between Spain and the United States, with the view of show ing how Spain, in her relations with America and her treatment of the West Indian colonies, has spared no effort to make concessions and re- forms compatible with her rights to conciliate her colonfsts and to pre- serve friendly relations with Amer ica, whereas the United States has all along persisted in seeking pre- texts to interfere in the purely do- mestic relations of Spain with her colonies and has persisted more than ever since the advent to office of President Mckinley, by menaces and diplomatic notes, in trying to inter vene in the settlement of the Cuban question.
 So much so has this been the case, the speech will declare, that the United States has constantly put ob- stacles in the way of Spain whenever negotiations or the military efforts of Spain have been on the point of pacifying Cuba.
 The speech from the throne will point out that the Spanish Govern ment has steadily resisted the Amer ican pretensions, while making all possible concessions to America on the other questions, and would have gone even further If America had only undertaken to respect the right and sovereignty of Spain in Cuba. The document will lay stress upon the fact that America has displayed increased virulence and hostility since Spain granted suspension of hostilities at the request of the Pope and powers.
 The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing at 6:45 p. m., Tuesday, says: A Cabinet coun- cil was held very early this after noon, in order to consider the situa- tion. The Government adopted finally the resolutions respecting their rela- tions with the United States. The Ministers were unanimous in declar- ing that conflict was certain and quite at hand.

matum IS transmitted to Spain. So his visers, and only a few unimportant verbal changes were made.
 The Cabinet then became a council of war.
 Lieutenant Colonel Wagner, chief of the Bureau of Military Intelligence, and Captain Barker of the Naval Board of Strategy, were summoned to the White House and discussed with the President and Cabinet the plans which have been made for the operations of the army and navy on the outbreak of hostiities Special attention was given to the con sideration of the first moves to be made by the various forces It was nearly 6 o'clock when the Cabinet finally ad- journed.
 President Frank Thompson of the Pennsylvania Railway and Senator Hanna arrived at the White House soon after the Cabinet meeting and had a long conference with the President. MT. Thompson has been called upon by the President to act as his official ad- wiser in connection with the transporta- ton of troops and all kinds of military supplies during the war with Spain. It is probable that he may receive the same military rank as Colonel Scott, also the president of the Pennsylvania Railway, did when he held similar position un- der President Lincoln during the Civil War.
 President McKinley's last duty was to do the final revision of the ultimatum to Spain He and Assistant Secretary Day went over the document for the last time to be satisfied that 1t was all right before the final adjournment of the Cab inet.
 The President invited all of its mem bers who cared to do so to call at the White House tomorrow morning be- fore 10 o'clock and again read over the ultimatum, but as all of them were per fectly satisfied with its text, it is not probable they will do so.

AMERICANS MAY FIND
 HAVANA IN RUINS
Spaniards Threaten to Blow Up Their Houses to Prevent Their Be-
 ing Taken.

HAVANA. April 19.-The press of the entire island attacks the ''jingoes" and the sensational American press" es- pecially slngling out General Lee. All the articles are written at high ten sion and are full of bellicose ardor. The writers recall the history of Spain and particularly the diplomatic victory over Prince Bismarck in the Carolines. The Spanish are easily excited to en- thusiasm, as the prospect placed be- fore them by these inf1ammatory arti- cles refer to adding to the country glories a triumph over the powerful American people. They take 1t as an insult if American superiority is sug gested.
 Senor Ramon Calban, a leading mer- chant, said in the presence of this cor respondent: ''I wish there were war tomorrow and I would give my life to see a victory over the Yankees"
 Others say for instance: The Yan- kees will not take Havana. but if they should, they will only find ruins.'
 Some emphatically declare that they would prefer to blow up their own houses rather than have them taken by the Americans. There is a good deal said along this line.
 The exchange is still falling. Pro- visions are rising in price, although still abundant. There is great actiy- ity in military centers. Everything in. dicates the beginning of the end.

fact. I am sure that if such a feeling exists in any section of opinion in America, that opinion was formed un- der a misconception. I am certain that the instructions furnished to Sir Julian Pauncefote, which I have just given to the House, will convince the House and the public that we have not intruded ourselves unnecessarily"
 There have been many applica- tions at the United States Embassy and at the United States Consulate nere this week for enlistment in the United States army or navy. Most of the applicants were Englishmen, including several officers and former officers of the British army of lieu tenant grade. A number of engin- eers also applied, and applications were received from women who are desirous of serving as nurses in the field.
 A majority of those who applied for enlistment expect to be sent to the United States at the Government ex- pense. They were all told that the United States officials here had no au- thority to enlist.
 Lieutenant Sims, the United States naval attache at Paris, and Colonel AL fred E. Bates, the United States mili- tary attache here, have purchased dur ing the week several large lots of am munition, including gun cotton. The latter. it is presumed, is to be used for mines. All the officials concerned maintain secrecy as to the ships which are to carry the war munitions to the United States.
