Madrid. April 26 IL a. m.-The general
public here is in complete ignorance
regarding the Spanish war movements.
The newspapers make no mention of
them, while fully recording the tactics
of the United States fleet. Judging
from the available advices, Spain ap-
pears to have the tactics of the badger.
Ell Liberal says: I'VE are inside our
house-Cuba, Porto Rico and the Phil
ippines-and inside we will remain I'M
til you come and drive us out, in full
fillment of your arrogant boast.
Il is generally believed that, in con-
sonance with this policy. the Spanish
fleet, unless compelled to fight, will
avoid engagements, and the fastest
ships will be employed to destroy the
commerce of the United States.
A bill to indemnify the government
for granting autonomy to Cuba, which
was not authorized by the cortes, is
expected TO pass by reclamation today,
unless the Robledoists, who are hostile
to autonomy, oppose the measure.
The Spanish government today sent
circular TO the powers, supplementing
its circular of April Is and expressing
regret at the hard necessity of being
compelled TO appeal to force in order
to repel the scandalous aggression of
the United States and defend the ma
tional dignity and the historic integ-
rity of the fatherland."

Rumors of serious disturbances in
Madrid were current in the house of
