TALK OF EUROPEAN
ALLIANCE INDULGED IN
SpaniaTds Generally Resentful Toward
America, But Willing to Forget War
With the United States.

MADRID, May 19.-Your correspondent
was today granted an interview with the
most prominent member Of the present
cabinet, who was virtual head of the Gov
ernment during the recent Illness Of Pre-
mier sagasta. This minister. discussing
the politics of the new reign, said:
The accession of Alfonso viii undoubt-
edly benefit Spain by initiating a strong
anti-clericaI movement SPANS internal
troubles now are due to the prevalence
Of the friars and it has been decided to
force them to leave the country
During the regency the opposition 10
the cleries has been weak because tBa
Queen, as a woman, has bowed much be-
fore the Pope, and as a mother, was care.
ful not to antsgonize the friars too mush,
fearing they might work harm TO her son.
Now. 1t is different Alfonso is mascu-
line and strong minded and he is resolved
to rid Spain Of its clerical encumbraDce
He viii not stop at any length to accom-
plish this # necessary he viii openly de-
fy the Vatican and place himself at the
head of the army to do the work effeetuaI-
ly''
Speaking of the foreign relations Of
Spain, the minister said:
The most important thing for Spain IL
TO form an alliance with some country OF
Europe.
Spain is now friendIess and It viii -
very unfortunate If she continues so uuta
| longer. There is talk OF Franeo-Span-
ish alliance, and perhaps that viii be
sealed before long, If France has some
thing to offer US in exchange for what
we can offer her.
Americas Unfairuess.o
'Tf Spain had been allied with some
great power four years ago, there would
| have been no war with America The
United States would not have dared to
| face a strong coalition as she faced weak
/ Spain. The feeling OF resentment against
America is now dying out. but We can
never forget what We. regard as Amerf-
cas- unfairness- It is mystery 10 all
of Us here what was the cause of the
war. We stood ready to grant independ-
ence TO Cuba, and month before hos
/ Titles began President Mckinley said
! that war was practically impossible.
Undoubtedly the yellow press OF Amer
! lea forced the war; how. it is not under
stood. 1t is incemprehensibfe TO US by
what means irresponsible journals in the
/ United States possess their power
Willing to Forget
However, the thing is over. Let Us for
J get it We stand ready TO renew friend

proFers US the extended hand We, as
the injured party, cannot take the in
