The military press is divided in opinion
on the subject, the Correo Militar ad-
hitting, however, that the decision of
the government to suspend hostilities has
had a 'Iamentable effect upon the
army"
CURSING THE MINISTRY.
The Correo Espanol publishes a slash
| ing article against the government ask
ing the ministers derisively where they
will go after making every possible con-
cession and yielding the honor Of Spain
| to Mckinley"
This causes the Correo Espanol to say
that it thanks the ministry with "a con-
temptuous kick" adding: "Our pen falls
from our hand as we contemplate the
cowardice on the one side and the vii
lainy on the other. 1t is impossible to
write Of it seriously. We must be gov
erned by the hermaphredites Of Athens.
and must hide the tear which runs down
the cheek while the lips curl in supreme
sarca SIN. We laugh while our teeth
clinch. the bile turns in our stomach. an
ger heats our blood and our hands in
stinctively seek an aveuging weapon"
THE AUSTRIAN THREATENED.
The feeling In Madrid is stronger than
ever All parties are uniting against the
government and there are sinister refer
ences to the austrian" which mean that
the queen regent, who has never been pop
ular in Madrid, is rapidly falling into in
creased disfavor. The feeling against her
majesty is exasperated by the quotations
from the English and French papers of
the suggestions Of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph respecting Cuba.
The following quotation from the Pals
has much between the lines:
"Carlist circles are boiling at the arrest
of Baron San Gurren. Government circles
maintain their outward composure; but
the measures taken for the preservation
of order reveal anxiety"
The HeraIdo and Correo Espanol con-
tinue their attacks upon the government
and the impression which generally pre-
walls is that if an external war is avoided
an internal conflict is certain.
This days issue of the Pals was con-
fscated and copies of the paper we're only
obtainable surreptitiously. II headed its
leading article, Austrian Gifts" and
said:
Easter has not brought SPANS resur-
rection. The passion is only beginning in
the Garden of Olives. The Crucifxion,
traitors kiss"
ANNOUNCEMENT HOWLS.
The anti-government press is rabid, and
the whole town is very warlike.
The Pals, in big headlines on its front
page, announces:
"As the government imposed silence
upon US we will speak in the dumb
language" t-
Accordingly, the first page of the Pats
contains handsigns reading: Death to
traitors -
In it's leading article the Pals asks
whether the government rs. preparing

the council last night. ~
Continuing. the Pals charges the gov
eminent with having arranged the ''ar-
mistice" with the powers. prior TO the
United States demanding it. the powers
promising in return the safety of the
throne. should the loss of Cuba lead to a
national uprising
The Pals also expresses the opinion that

ment was only a bluff" to deceive the
people.
Later, the Pals remarks: THE message !

only dares to use force against patriots
