THE POLICY OF SPAIN STATED
Prime Minister Cattovas Tells of Her Attitude
Toward Cuba and Congress
SITUATION IS ONE OF EXTREME DELICACY
Intervention Could Not Bo Permitted If Bslligerenoy of the Insurgents Is
Becogulssd Spains Regard for the United States rrisuuship
A Dofenso of Weylors Char actor
New York March 6 Tho World will print tomorrow the folluwlng authentic
statement of tho policy of Spain as to Cub and congress from Prime Minister
Canovas It Is accompanied by a poraonal message to Jopisph Pulitzer from
tho president of th council of rtate nt XIadrld authorizing Its publication
Tho statement Is an follows
Madrid March C Wo navo as jet no official notification of tho Intentions of
the American government and c m not therefore tako cognlzancn of or ptotcst
by voto against nnv of the procdliigs of the senate and house of representatives
of tho United States Wo have tnkeitno official notice whatever of the pro-
ceedings ami speeches In Washington iltirlng the pant week Nor have wo Bounded
tho European powers or courts regarding their support In any form All we
liavo tlon Is to show to the American government nnd Minister Tavlor that vvo
havo emleavoitxl to tnforco ivsuoct fot tho American legation nnd consulites and
have ordeicd the Madrid Granada Barcelona and iileiicln universities cjuicd
and we will close the universities schools nnd establishments whoso students daio
to make demonstrations hostile to the United States Se will send to prison nnd
prompt trial nil tho authors and ttxnnoters of such disturbance We IHlevo Hint
thev are prompted by tho advanced republlrons Nothing will bo omitted on
our sldo to bIiow our desire to ptcsyvo cordial relations with America I nit eon
vlnced that wo possess sufficient imams to quell any hostile demonstrations Iho
government of Spain regrets nnd has made nil the amends possible for the mani-
festations of Indignation which the rpeecues at Washington naturally txcltcd
among tho ovwloyal people of Oyaln
Tho situation now Is one of extreme delicacy Indeed I on not define how
far It is possible for tho govenment to penult amicable and ctreful mcdltntlon of
a foreign power however honorable and disinterested It may be without Incurring
tho gravo risk of lxlng ncuscd of submitting to outside Interference pre ure
and dictation In tho nlUt of a ilvll vat
The United States tiro a great jovver nnd until they recognize the object
and encouargo tho alms ef tho Inttiriectlonlsts tiny ate friendly to paln After
tho recognition of the belligerents In Cuba by tho United Suites It would lu > Im-
possible for tho governmsit of Spain to accept the good ofllces of President
Cleveland or permit any Interference whatever Nevertheless I rtlll hope some
means will be found by th president to avoid nllonuttng the friendly relntUns
with tho United States which Spain has shown this week that she ptltes blrbly
I am fullv alive to the significance nnd tho possible consequences of tho volo
of the Unlteil States congress to rebels us well as to Spain In her relations with
the UnttfJ States especially In the matter of search on the blub seas and In tho
matter of private opinion nisi lllibttsterlng expeditions
Tho only new and eeemlngly warlike pteparntlons vet made b > Hptln nro made
flmply with a view to equipping a lleot of warships and transAtiantlo nteynnns
to chase llllbusterets nnd to guard the coast of Cuba That Is tho solo object
In view General Weyler hnwoviir having sold that he has enough troops etily
the usual reliefs will bo sent to Cuba until iiutumu and no naval demonstration
Is contemplated The election vvllpnot Interfere with tho action of tho govern-
ment as It intends to conduct tlvm in a tolerant spirit for all parties f Jir rep-
resentation being arranged for the vVest Indian constituencies Besides in every
imperial and International question tho Spaniards have ulwavs shown a patrlctlo
spiritThe
The misapprehension concerning General Weylers character and methods na
a soldier originated In a misstatement of facts In his career and of his assign-
ments and instructions Both In Cuba twntj years ago and in tho Phllllplno
Islands since then Wevler has only carried out tho orders of his chiefs Hcfopj
ho left for Culm the last time I saw and spokt to him and approved his views
Consequently ho has simply aoted In harmony with tho requirements of this war
Tho Insurgents have not only set at varlnnco tho rulis of elvlllzod warfare but
have vlolntcd tiro provisions of tho treaty of 1101 between Spain and the United
Stales and the treaty of 1707 respecting tho lives of ill real and alleged American
citizens In Cuba
I am determined to carry out the administrative political reforms already
voted by the corles as soon as tho pncllleatlon of tho lslund permlls nnd even
such economical reforms tm may ber consistent with the Interests of both tho
colony and tho mother country Hut It Is impossible to attempt reforms riutlng
a civil war or under any foreign pressure In the present condition of tho Island
When Marshal Campos was sent to Cuba ns governor general of tho Isl md tho
government would certainly b ivo allowed him to Institute the refoims if ho
had deemed the in advisable Hut he soon discovered that It was imposslblo to
do so
soWo
Wo on not admit that tho slightest ground evlsls for the recognition of tho
belligerency of tho Cuban Insirgmts whoso socalled president the marquis of
Sitita Lucli and tho meinbTH of his executive council nro nomads Ilo tho
rebels nnd evtr on tho move loi Instance they wero ncuily surprised and rap
tured this week by a Spinlsh column In tho ptmince of Las Villas
