HOLY THURSDAY.
7:1O p. Midday being holy Thurs
day, all traffic is suspended. The streets
are crowded with ladies, many wearing
! the national colors in their hair, go
ing from one church to another The
spectators are so numerous in the pr1n-
cipal streets that all have to proceed at
the very Slowest walk.
While the crowd was thickest. Gem
eral WOOdford, the United States min
ister and Miss WoodfOrd. walked from
the United States legation to their res
idenee. They were recognized by many,
but their promenade was not marked
by any special incident
TOO LATE.
Berlin. April THE Madrid CORE
spOndent of the Cologne Gazette says:
The papers of the American consulate
have already been entrusted to the
care of the British consulate. At mid
night the pope made fresh confidential
representations to the Spanish govern
ment. and a second cabinet council was
then held But the reply was to the
effect that the pope's intervention had
come too late, as a decision had already
been arrived at.
REACHED THE LIMIT.
London. April IA special dispatch
from Madrid says the ambassadors of
France, Germany. Russia and Italy
waited together this evening UPON Sc
nor GullOn. the foreign minister, and
presented a joint note in the interests
Of peace.
Senior GullOn, replying. declared, ac-
cOrding to the dispatch that the mem
bers of the Spanish cabinet were unan-
imous in considering that Spain had
reached the limit of international pol
icy in the direction Of cOnceding the
demands and allowing the pretension Of
the United States"
WOODFORD'S STATEMENT.
II p.m-The cabinet council termin-
ated at half past s. No official notice
has been issued and all the ministers
maintain absolute reserve, declining to
give any information.
United States Minister WOodford, in
a note to the council. declared that
when he sent the confidential note yes
terday. he had not received dlsparch
from President Mckinley, announcing
the postpOnement of the presentation
of the message to congress. and as
that changes the aspect Of affairs, he
withdraws the statements made in the
previous note.
Several OF the papers publish state
ments by General COrrero, minister or
war. apparently authentic, in which he
denies that the government is threat
ened with Il ministerial crisis
M'KINLEY AGAIN.
Referring 10 the possibility of con-
hiet with the United States, General
Correro is represented as expressing a
hope that it may still be averted, be
cause it is known that President Nc
KinIev's MESA ge t. the American con-
gress will refer neither to independence
nor to intervention.
General Correro added: I'm thus
changing his attitude. President Nc
Kinley responded doubtless to SPANS
determined conduct and had we not
bowed our heads at the time we SUI
fered our first humiliation. we should
not find ourselves where We are today.
I am not of those who blindly shout
Victory should there be a rupture and
hostilities. but believe that of the two
evils, war is preferable to humiliation"
BAD PURPOSE.
Fl Pals publishes a sensational ac-
count of an alleged attack upon the
Spanish legation in Washington. which
is being cried all over town The pa
Der is not regarded seriously. but the
purpose of the article is evidently to
fcment feeling against the American
LEGATION here and the civil governor
of Madrid has called the attention Of
the officials to the matter with view
of stopping the sale of the paper. The
town is absolutely quiet
FL Correro. the ministerial organ re-
counts the events of yesterday and
saws that General WOOdfOrd delivered
no uItimatum, but asked for documents
which did not exist and never were
Dronised. Its article concludes by re-
marking that all are working for peace,
but that the undercurrent is undoubt-
eddy warlike.
