Tile government has received information - formation that the message had been hamideti to President. McKinley , who replied that he would consult. with his council of ministers and requested Id. Camnbon to comtm to the iVimito House again to confer with iiimmi , " A special dispatch from Madrid says : The government does not conceal that It iiesitt- ted for some days to go beyond an unofficial exploration at Washington because the diplomatic agents employed to make the soumidings gave conflicting accounts of Pres. ideut McKinley's disposition , One repro- seated him as eager to terminate the war on moderate condition ; the other , that the most onerous conditions would be imposed , so much so that the Madriti government thought it uselcs8 to sue ollicially.

After today's cabinet council , Senor Sa- gimata , the riremier , smmimi he hatl grounds for hoping that an understanding might b arrived - rived at , but ho could say nothing definite , Duke Almomiovar do Rio saiti the European cabinets had been informed of time step Spain hati taken , but not. as to the text of the hole sent l'resldent McKinley.
