Cuban question satisfactory to the
American people and achieved without
Ibloodshed. The details remain to be
worked out, but 1t Is expected that be-
tween now and Monday clearer light
tNfl be thrown on the future by ac-
hon at Madrid, of which one important
feature, at least, is the declaration OF
Nn armistice by the queen regent of
Spain. This armistlce. 1t is said, will
psad to the ultimate independence OF
Cuba from Spanish rule, but by what
Intermediary steps perhaps even the
Governing powers do not at this time
Know. Much, it is supposed, will de-
pend upon the Cuban insurgents and
the people Of the United States and
kpain.
The powers Of Europe, material and
moral. it is known, brought to bear all
1heir Influence on the government OF
Epoin, and still are actively at work
peekinS by the wisest and most pol
ltic course necessary in view of the
circumstances and sentiments Of the two
great nations involved, to bring peace
but Of the gathering war clouds. All
khe capitals Of Europe have been in
communication TO this end, fact evil

tsh embassy in this city Tuesday Of

powers Of Europe, and then and there

MADRID EXPECTS PEACE.


But the Minister Remains.
Madrid, April 1.-The official state
ment that affairs have taken pacific
turn has not yet become generally
known, and public opinion remains
much excited. The bourse has de-
clined heavily, owing to the belief that
there Is dissensiOn In the cabinet
which, however. the ministerial sup
porters absolutely deny.
The hope Of reaching a peaceful set
tIcmcnt with the United States is grow
ing stronger. 1t is reported that the
basis of an armistice in Cuba have been
arranged. IF this be true a royal de-
cree will appear in The Gazette today
or tomorrow announcing the conclu-
sion of an armistice.
The kilograms from Rome indicate
that the pope's mediation is, or per-
haps by this time was. indefinite and
undeveloped, and that the assent of all
parties concerned Is as yet not ac-
corded. 1t Is said Furthermore that his
holiness will ask the queen regent to
grant an armistice In Cuba. Her ma
Jesty may do so, but as no armistice Is
reported to have been asked for from
the rebel camp the granting of i. will
not be easy.
"A ministerial crisis is talked Of. No
crisis Of this nature Is in immediate
prospect, but the shades of ministerial
opinion are known to contrast with
some sharpness. The Cuban ministry's
message to the insurgents Is thought
here to be sailing as clos" to the wind
as is safe. El Heraldo de Madrid at

but the rapidity of events at Wash

DEFIANT CUBAN INSURGENTS.
They Would Fight Our Troops Rather
Than Sacrifice Independence.


Than Sacrifice Independence.
New York, April 1.-THE Cuban junta,
through its counsel, Hpratio s. Rubens,
yesterday declared in uneguivocal lam
guage that the Cuban provisional gov
ernment and the Cuban army would
reject absolutely intervention by the
United States unless it should be pre-
ceded by recognition of the independ-
ence of the Cuban republic; that if the
United States persisted in intervening
without recognizing Cuban independ-
ence, the Cuban government and mill
tary forces would refuse to cooperate,
and that If United States troops should
be sent to Cuba upon the basis Of in
tervention without recognition, the Gu
ban army would, in the last resort,
turn it's arms against the United
States.
Last evening Mr.. Rubens supple
mented his utterances with this writ
ten statement over his signature:
'"The statement appearing over my
name was based on the indications ap-
pearing that the object of the United
States in refusing to recognize the in
dependence of Cuba was to annex the
island to the United States. 1t was in
viSE of this fact that l expressed the
determination of the Cuban army to
resist. We would, of course, welcome
the American army to aid us in achiev-
ing our independence"

Washington. April 7.-Swift as a can
hons flash changed the Cuban situa-
kion yesterday. The galleries Of con-
kress were crowded, senators and rep
besentatives were anxious and agitated
Gnd even the diplomatic corps was in a
ferment awaiting q message from the
president that might mean war, when,
with excitement at the very highest.
like an electric flash, the word passed
that there would be no message. Its
suddenness stunned the public, which
heard the news in distorted forms, and
amazed veteran members of congress.
Ultimately 1t became known that there
mould be no message this week, and
that 1t was at least possibility that
the message written and approved
might never go to congress at all.
8, The first reason for, the delay was
that the administration received ad-
Vices from General Lee, at Havana, in
dicating that all Americans could not
be gotten off the island at once, and
would be in grave peril If the message
preceded their departure. The second
reason, and perhaps equally potent
with the other, slowly drifted into pub
Rlc comprehension late in the dav,
chiefly through the medium of publish
ed press dispatches from Madrid, for
extreme reticence was maintained OH
the subject by the few in Washington
who knew the facts, and even cabinet
officers were unadvised on the subject.
IThis important news was that the
Spanish government, after what had
plainly been most exciting times in in
her circles at Madrid, had decided to
reopen the case closed, so far as this
government was concerned, by the re-
fusal Of Spain to make satisfactory
response to the representations made
,by the United States last week. and in
order to avert impending war had de-
Cided to make concessions heretofore
Eefused.
What will be the final outcome it is
Roo early to say, but the aspect Of af-
tairs certainly is considerably more
pacific and sufficient to renew the hope
OF the president in a solution of the
