WAR WOULD BE sHoRr.
Europe Would soon oRer Her Good
Offices as MeIiafor

London, Aprn Is. a. m.-The Madrid
correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, tel
egraphing Sunday. says: THE creates,
enthusiasm is manifested everywhere
among the people. who are subscribing
even more than they can afford to the
funds for the national defense.
Il am acquainted with families who In

Many officials on small salaries have
resolved to offer one days pay, and even
two. to the government.
Boys under age are asking permission
to serve in The army, their parents having
already consented.
Some popular bull-fghters, whose per-
formances are worth hundreds of thou
SANDS OF francs yearly, have resolved to
abandon their vocation and to shoulder
rifles in defense of the fatherland
Il have had a long and interesting con-
Versation with diplomatic representative
OF one Of the European powers, who re-
quested me not to mention his name or
nationality. who said Although war
seems certain the possibility of peace lie
not yet eliminated. The negotiations are
proceeding without interruption, and sue
cess is still possible. Personally ] must
say believe it will be very difficult to
maintain peace, because the excitement on
both sides of the Atlantic is too strong TO
be opposed successfully by the govern
ments. But what 1 am certain of is this:
There will be no real war in the ordinary
sense of the word. Hostilties will end
almost as soon as they were begun, because
Europe will mediate between the bellig
erents under conditions which will tend
to be extremely favorable to peace with
honor for both sides. 1t is then that the
marked moderation of the Spanish govern
ment will bear fruit.
1.-The idea of armed Intervention
by Europe is absurd and I'M
founded. Not one power is dis
posed to support such suggestion, al
though all admit that from the point OF
view of International law Spain is in the
right and the United States wrong 1t
seems to me therefore, that Spain will yet
enjoy an opportunity of trying the expert
ment of Cuban autonomy
THE ministers appear certain that their
moderate peaceful policy, which has made
a good impression in Europe, will sooner or
later bear good fruit, and that the pros
pect of peace is not yet disposed of. At all
events negotiations between the represen-
tatives of the powers continue and great
hopes are placed in them

The feet in the harbor and the military

The colored troops, 125 in number, were
obliged to remain on board the CITY Of
Key West all night, because Of lack of
accommodation at the barracks, already
given over to two batteries of artillery.
1t was eventually decided 70 quarter them
in old Fort Taylor, and this morning they
formed in double file. and marched there
a stalwart body of men-many of whom
have seen war service in Indian cam
paigns and most of whom rank high as
sharpshooters.
Some of the local papers have been pro-
testing against having colored troops sent
here, and there had been a slight fear Of
an unfavorable demonstration. So far
from anything OF the kind happening, the
colored troops were greeted with only
words of praise.
Throughout the day wagons have been
going between the wharf and the forts
