NEW YORK , March SO.-\ special to the

who visIted tIme United States during tim
Columbian celebration , in an interview suyo
that. it is his earnest hope that time trouble
between the United States anii Sp.In over
Cuba oumld die a imaturmml death. 'Spalmi , "
he said , has had great provocation for tlio
opression of resentimient against time United
States. I am grieved to say that time action
of congress seems to ) iavo been the insult
of the century. I cannot undcrstan how it
happened Time only expimatlon I cn find
Is that the American people antI senate
mk'umniorstanl the motives anti conduct of
the war in Cuba.
"Whatever the outcome , I trust that the
idea of jtustlco to Spain vihI prevail. Even
thottgit war should como between Spain and
the United States , and even were it possible
tli.it as a result the Spanish nation ahotllth
bo wlpeh oft the lace of the earth , still the
name of Spain would never be forgotten , but
would gum down througim hIstory revered and
respected as long as there was such a place
as America wttlm time benign shmmuhow of a
Columbus upon it. I do not believe that
tite Amet-lcan sor.ate simoutd Imavo forgotten
In time excitement of the moment what its
natioi owes to Spain.
'If the war were soon , and wtth dignIty
broutght to nIl cud in Cubi , or It there bath
beeuo no vnr , Cuba wolild have laid a hmomno
rule governummont timtoilld imavo been en-
til-oly satisfactory to the majority of Cubans.
Of course .1 bomo rule govorument cannot
be granted to a mob of insurgents.
"Soain viiI never allow interference in imer
d5mestic affairs. Even should not other
countries which have Interests cioe to those
of Spain come tote this quarrel , Spain 'would
still resl.a'i any interference to the last drop
of blood of imor sulIjects amid to the last
centime of her money. "
