England Wants a Coaling Station

MADR1D.-Oficial circles here are
warmly discussing the attitude OF
Great Britain, owing to her pressing
demands that Spain sell her eoalln8
station in the Baleric islands and other
strategical points, so as to render Gl'
braltar unassailable. The negotla'
tons on the subject have been in abey'
ance, owing to Premier Sagasta's III
ness, but it is believed that Spain, in
fuonced by France and Russia, vii
resist the demands of Great Britain.
