The fact that Spain lias granted this arm s- tlco as a result of Influence exerted bv the great powers of Europe and 'the ' pope leads to much conjecture aa to low far the ma terial Influences of the powers will be given In support of Spain , now that It has yielded to their earnest solicitation. It has been understood thus far that the movement of the powers was purely disin terested and neutral , but press dispatches from abroad Indicate that Spain's yielding to these continental influences had established a ctoacr bond than' had hitherto existed. Assistant Secretary Day was noncommittal tonight on the armistice granted by Spain , end refused to discuss It or the bearing It would Jaave on the situation In any way. With the conditions suggested by Spain It U felt here tbat a new and even graver crisis may arlne. Coming late , at night , there te no opportunity to Judge how the Spanish conditions will be received by congress , but In view ot the sentiment of the oenate and house it U felt the conditions Imposed by Spain may accentuate the feeling already existing there. A leading republican member of the house committee en foreign affairs expressed the opinion late tonight that the armistice of- lercd by Spain Instead of relieving the situa tion would only exaggerate It. He eald that lie believed tbls country would not rest short ot the complete abjuration ot the Spanish authority over any part of Cuban territory. Ho said : I do not believe that the armistice ar ranged at this late day by Spain will af- ifcot the attitude of the United States. There la every reason why Spain should want an armistice now. and It might be significant as a central motive that the rainy season , with all the horrors It haste to the unaccllmatlzcd Spanish soldiers , will iwt In fAlthln three weeks and continue until about November. Everybody knows what Its effects have ( been on the trooprt sent over from the * penln- ula , and In the present contingency with the resources practically exhausted con tinued activity of the Insurgents , coupled with thd fatal 'work of the- season , may mean , andI think It would mean , a fatal termination of the Spanish cause In the Its objects \ire relict from the hoped for avoidance of action by this country , ns well 9 delay with 'the Uwurcents , until a more auspicious seai-on. In that view I am gainst Its consideration for -moment. . Our position at this time with reference to Spain contemplates , first , Intervention In humanity's cause , which would not b ful- lllled by anything * hort of the entire sweepIng - Ing niwny of Spanish sovereignty ; and , second end , the destruction ot the Maine.

It will not delay "the president's messageIt Is only another liretext 'for delay , for Spain Is not able to light In the rainy season. They hope by es tablishing an armistice extending over the rainy season to prepare themselves for an active campaign In the autumn , which no one In favor of Cuban Independence or In tervention would entertain for a moment.

There Will Hoe ClmiiKCIn Ike J'renlilcnt'i * IMaiiM. WASHINGTON. April 9. The president and hi * adlvaera proceeded today on the pUrr heretofore determined upon. The mea- eagc will bo scot to congress on Monday and will be accompanied by the voluminous reports - ports of United States consuls stationed In Cuba , which have been accumulating for many months. During the day the president conferred with a number of congressional leaders aa to the form of the resolution to be passed by congress following the presentation of his mcseage. U U DDW practically decided to separate Intervention and Independence. A resolution will be .puied apeccUIy confined to olmplo Intervention , loivlng the question of Indepandence to be determined by ( subse quent action of congress. Ths ! Is In accord ance with the president's expressed desire. The military and naval preparations con tinued with unatated activity , and the strat egic experts are formulating prospective plans of campaign , it seems to be the ac cepted vlew'among thce experts that It will not be necessary to extend the campaign be yond the Island ot Cuba , unlecs Spain as- mimta an aggrteslve attitude , In which case the operations of the United States military and naval forces will be extended to the Span- lib possessions ot Porto Rico , the Philippines , the Canaries and possibly Spain itself. It Is the opinion , however , that the fight ing will not extend far beyond Cuba , and Cu ban .waters , and that after the United States control Cuba , hostilities would not bo pro longed. This view leaves out the fact that after fighting once begins It cannot be foretold how fur It will go , and the government In prepar ing for any emergency. Sir Julian Pauncefote called at the State department late during the day , and this led to the belief the powers of Europe contem plated another move. U can be stated that the visit ot the British ambassador had no reference to the action of the powers , or to the Spanish situation. The powers have taken their action so far as the United States Is concerned , and nothing further Is antici pated from that quarter. Mr. Quesada , the diplomatic representa tive of the Cuban Insurgents In this city , was ecen this afternoon by an Associated Press reporter with regard to the armistice procla mation. He said ; It la useless ifor us to reiterate again for degree. As a ftprlug Wood pnrlller nntl tonic It is just xvlint you want. This cure is characteristic pf Hood's Sarsiiparilla.

As u matter of fact , an armistice la a fiispenplon of hostilities to 'be ' arranged by the opposing general * . General Blanco and General Gomez would have to agree to an armistice. Doss ? any one think General Go mez would agree to suspend hostilities Just M we are about to win the great boon for which our people have fought and strugs'ed ' so IOIIK ? Besides , who IB to take- the proposition for an armistice to General Gomez. The constitution of thn Cuban republic and the civil law absolutely forbid the general-ln- chlc-f , under piln of death , 'to ' entertain or receive any offer from the Spanish lines , unless It has for Its ba ls the absolute In dependence of Cuba. Who Is to carry the offer ? The fate ot Hulz Is a warning of the fate which would nwalt such an envoy. .Mr. Qucsada has a letter from General Gomez , under date of March 9 , which show how hopeful he Is of success and how even then he spoke of the utter futility of at tempting negotiations with Spain. A portion ot the letter Is as follows : This province ( Santa Clara ) , ns well aa Santiago dc Cuba , and Puerto Principe , is ours. The enemy has departed , ceasing military operations , and abandoning the lynrrlsons and fort.s which constituted its bane of operations. Days , weeks , and months pass without a column of troops appearing1 within our radius of action , which Is of many leagues. In t'nc conditions which we are It Is my opinion that what we need to end the war quickly are cannon and a great deal of dynamite , BO that we can expel them by fire and steel from the towns. Notwithstanding the opinion of the op timists. I adhere to the Idea that we will never mnko Spain come to terms but In that manner , and that It Is a loss of tlmo and very dangerous to .enter Into any negotiations. We must fight them vigor ously and unceasingly In order to force what wo will have and we will surely obtain It in time. MIVISTER POLO IS IlKSPECTRt ) , Stute- Department Itefatev a Madrid Yellow Fake. WASHINGTON , April 9. The State de partment gave out the following today ; Secretary S.ierman , referring to the re port In Madrid that "the Spanish legation nt Washington had been attacked , " re marked today that , as everyone here knows , there Is no truth In It , but on the contrary , the Spanirf.i minister Is highly esteemed here , Is received everywhere and Is respected by all our people. If , as the result of pending controversies , he shall be recalled by his government , he will carry with him the kindly regard of t'no president and the members ot the cabinet , as well as of the people generally. Mr. Sherman's denial that the Spanish le gation hod been attacked Is In line of offi cial denials which the Spanish minister him self cabled to Madrid. The minister today stated that ho at no time attached Im portance to the petty Annoyances directed against the legation property and officials. It IMS been attributed to Ignorant vandalism , mainly by Email children. It can be said in this connection tbat Senor Polo In this matter has sought to lessen the friction between the two govern ments rather than Increase It. Some of the annoyances of late have been of an aggra vating character , even though petty , and were repeated again last night.

Copyright , 1S3S , by the A * oclittit I'I-CM. ) LONDON. April 9. If anything was want- IBB to confirm the European belief that the rrUIs has reached an "Impasse" from which there Is no Issue but war , or the pulling down of the Spanish flag , It has been found In President McKlnley's reply to the am bassadorial note pressntcd In Washington en Thursday Icat. so strikingly reasserting the determlivitlCM that there Is only one \\ay to Dvevcat the United States Intervening to end the Intolerable situation. As a matter of fact , no confirmation was wanted for Europe's only real hope of a peaceful solution of the qucstlcn was based on the belief that when they realized llic rralltv about the high strung truck about their honcv. the Spaniards would accept the alternative and surrender. The ambasoj- dorlal appeal at Washington was regarded as an obvious formality. The Hrltibh official view of the matter Is , o.-j the Associated Press has already set fotth , that the occasion \\as one for the sole exercise of American dl.'cretlcn , and that the American attitude toward Cuba Is the same , us any other self-respecting gov- prnment would hold under similar circum stances. Practically the whole of this coun try takes the same view of the case. Great Britain has nothing to thank Spain for. Whenever commercial questions have bfen raised. Great Britain has found Spain obstructive. Intractable and > arbitrary , aa the United States fncls It today , and the modi cum of sypalhy found lir some quarters Is simply a sort of sentimental pity at tthe fact that Spain should be deprived of Ito last great colcciy. DILLON'S DISCORDANT NOTE. One of the few discordant notes In the paean of sympathy with the United States roints from n quarter It was least ex pected from. The Freeman's Journal , the orgcn of the Nationalist leader , John Dillon , a paper claiming to represent the IrUh party , after flat-footedly expressing the hope that Spata will win In the expected war , asks : Is there a nntlon In the world which oould brook the Insults leveled ut the Spaniards In t'no American pi ens , or would not protest against the stand-and-dellver policy adopted ? In conclusion , the Freeman's Journal re marks : In our opinion , the United States would b better employed helplm ? Spain to make autonomy n success rather than In forcing a deplorable war. The latest advices Hhow ihe Americans do not want to deliver Cuba to the Cubans. The Irish Independent league lias pro tested against this pro-Spanish declaration , and has passed a resolution of sympathy with the Unltel States , repudiating wltii scorn and Indignation the declaration ot the Freeman's Journal. The resolutions adopted by the New York Chamber of Commerce at Its recent meeting are regarded as a highly Important factor of the situation , and as giving the approval of the business men to the war policy. During the courseof a conversation , a tilgh oftlchl of the British war office said : Tno certain dllllcultlcs and possible dangers which the United Slates Is In viting by Its attitude , besides the vast cost and the disquieting uncertainties of war itself , all of which could be avoided by a policy of Indifference , show the sliiKle- mlmlcdncss of the American aim , and con stitute an Irreslstablo claim on the sym- ( lafnlea of the other nations for the as sured losses are not counterbalanced by any proHpprt of gain. The president's policy Is statesmanlike and essentially humane , and while we may review with concern the ultimate results to America , the solution of the Insuffer able scandal will not bo too dearly pur chase I at the cost of war. END TO SPANISH MISRULE. The maleficent rule of Spain In Cuba haa got to end now. for nelt'ner America or any one else will trust Its promises so often btoken , especially after the tell-tale correspondence which resulted In the re call of Senor Dupuy de Lome. Nevertheless , America has taken up an unenviable task. After driving out the Spaniards , It will have to send troops to crush the Cubans , who are rebels ut 'neart , and who will not submit tamely to any form of government which will deprive them of their occupation of flghtla ? . There la much Interest hern In the pri vateering Incident of the expected hostili ties and the exploits of the iVlabamas on both sides will bo watched. It Is hoped ad ventures resulting will lead the United States and Spain to sign the declaration of Paris. The Impression Is that the prospect ive combatants , while Issuing letters of marijue , will respect neutral goods on their enemy's ahlps and their enemy's goods on board neutral ships. There Is considerable fear that Europe's supply ot wheat and cotton will be seriously affected In the case of hostilities , although It Is believed that unless the attempted blcokadea of ports are absolutely effective , tbo neutrals will not respect them and It Is apprehended that this aspect of the war will lead to ticklish lntrnatlonal questions which may Involve the combatants In heated disputes wltb Europe. Apparently hopeless as the outlook Is , thcro are still a few people who think the rjucen regent will yet surmount the oppo sition of her ministers and save the situa tion by yielding to all the demands ot the United States on the plea of vigorous European pressure ; but , all the same , Europe will know as well as America that history wll ! not fall to record that It was because of the unswerving line taken up by the United States that Spain was constrained to give peace to Cuba. After commenting upon the fact that "the effect of the dramatic postponement of Pres ident McKlnley's message has been to plunge two continents Into profound sus pense and put every bourse In the world Into violent alternations of heat and cold , " the Spectator suggests as a possible explanation of the delay that "the president found , or rather fancied he found , ho was face to face with a coalition of the continental powers , France , Russia , Germany and Austria , nomi nally to preserve the peace of the world , In reality to conduct an antl-Monron cam paign to prevent any territory now In the possession of a European power passing un der American control , " ENGLAND WOULD HELP. But the Spectator , In Its next sentence , knocks this suggestion on the bead by say ing : While the continental powers do not love t'no American republic , they would not be so mad as to risk u war with the whole Anglo-Saxon race , and that would be the outcome , for if America waa attacked by a continental coalition , England would be by Its side.
