Washington April t The reply of Spain li said In efffct to bes
The independence of Cuba means the partition of Spanish territory which can-
not be done without the consent of tho Spanish cortcs which Is not In session
and will not be in session until April 21 nnd consequently no definite nnswer tan
bo returned to tho United Slates until the cortcs assembles
Then a counter proposition Is submitted that the Cubau matter shall bo set-
tled Upon n basis equitable among un lons tho United States Is asked to give
Spiln tlmo to treat with tho Insurgents and ascertain what can bo done In tho
nature of a peaceful settlement
Semtors wto know tfce nature ot tho reply say It ts a ery shrewd piece ot
diplomacy and nildo for Its effect upon the world at large It Is slid the reply
Is unsatisfactory to tho president and he docs not believe It will be satisfactory to
congitss No one about the cvpllol has undertaken lo speik for the president

Prime Minister Sagasta lead to United
Slates Mlulster Woodford a written note
of tho lesolutlon adopted by the govern-
ment in reply to President McKlnlcyi de-
mands The chief demands are rejected
tho feeling being 13 I learn that they are
Inconsistent with tho dignity and honor ot
nny nation
Minister Woodford declared that he could
not maKo an immediate answer as he must
consult hl3 government Ho asked per-
mission to tianslatc tho note Into Engllsb
tlcic end then so thit Senor Moret min-
ister of the colonics who knows English
could icUso and approve the translation
This was done The only thing Geniiit
Woodford said was to express his personal
wishes for tonclllatlon and peace
Immediately after the conference Sonor
GUllon minister of foreign affairs visited
tho nuctn rcgcnt and reported to her the
result ot tho meeting Referring to the
coufeiencc Senor Moret said We are
ttll SpHnlards
Tho Spanish note answering tho denumis
was telegraphed to tho powers together
with a copy of the Amcrlom domaods
General Woodford expects an answer trom
Washington early lu the morning
I jlm assured that Franco and Ruasii
lave asked Spain to formulate the utnijsl

was again there at nu early hour this
morning and In conference with the presi-
dent The president wrnt over the sltui
ticn very thoroughly with Senator Davis
chairman of Rie scnnlo committee on for-
eign relations and pliovvcd him the dHpatcn
from Madrid that arrived last night When
tho Interview ended Sonntor Davis Jumped
into his cirrliigti hurriedly and drove off
with the statennnt thet he could not re-
veal what had taken plnte
It cai bo reiterate 1 authoritatively that
iho latest dispatch from Madrid was tuor
oughly umrtlsfactory to the administra-
tion
Thai tho president has Icsf confidence u
a peaceable ultimate outcome is apparent
frcm the views he expietstd to several of
his closest frlmds While he expressly
refrained rom stating that he had given
tn all hope one of his close polttical
friends intimated Immediate after being
closeted with the prairtcnt that a rente
1itnt on a ppace basis seemed exceedingly
unlikely
T ho president Is avvaro of tho strong
sentiment in congrccs and ts taking the
lendeis Into his confidence That con
cress may bo In accord with him he li no
attempting to withhold information In his
pokscssion from them but at the same
tfme Is taking steps to prevent diplomatic
information that might njrlonely nffrct
negotiations now rapidly reaching a cli-
max from being mads public and carried
back to Madrid This roikcc thcan leidens
wl o sol him very reticent
Sonators and representatives formed a
continuous stream of callers up to the
time of tho assembling of the cabinet but
were unusually gusrded In their spro
ut deep emotion thiough Spain since it niens artcr they left the president rayln

MKINLEY READY TO FIGHT
He Is Determined that Spain Must Hove Out of
Cuba Bodily
Chicago April 1 A rpclal to the Dally Xcvs from Washington says From
one of the senatnrs who hsd bei In ronsulUillon with tho Whlt > lloiso three
tlmee a day over sines the situation b came critical the following statement was
obtained this afternoon Tho prcsd nt Is ilatfcoted on the proportion that
Spain mupt move out bodily Ho aso knows absolutely that Spain can not or n
least will not censant to thl compute abandonment so that this means war The
president squarely faces that He Ik not ready Ho recognizes c r aln tor oils
unrrrjurciinejs McKlnley feels he would be guilty of great negligence If lha
deficiencies be not mado jrod bsfors wo aro plunged Into war Had h ail f It
so matters would have been ad anc d ta point whoro the United Stjt 6 > o II
have stopped tho coming of tho iorrcdn Potllla This fact will munlcst Us f
Monday or Tuesday when ths m HUry and navnl committees In lie liotiso
and senate will support the pioidnt Iho committees will bo given information
they should know which will have n toadenry to sober them up u bit Unless thi
president has been conipo led to clange his mind ny clrennisUncsa Mncc lat
night ho Intends to foliow with au ulllrrntum soon after the cabinet ineellsg
today
On Monday or Tuesday he will submit a history of all steps and will rec-
ommend tho recognition of independence This will leid to wir hut not neces-
sarily at once The president uwy ask hat he be permitted to negotiate further
on these lines U will be plain that these negotiations can only lead to war but
the men who will advocate that tho president bo permitted lo continue his cor-
respondence with Spain will make It plain tbrt a little delay is good for us as
well as Spain It may not be an open JOnfecrlon of nnpreparcdncss from thcio
roembe rs but tbefr position on the fighting committees tcgethcr with their well
known tympathy for Cuba will be sufficiently significant to piako the house
pause In discussing this phaso ot tho matter tho speaker quoted statements of
cabinet minister freely nnd said even tho warlike General Alger vvascompelled
to admit the force of it He Mid this would never have bctn nwdc public oven
by Intimation wtro It not that tho cold and stubborn truth viould bn necessary
to kcrp congress from plunging the cotiutrjjlnto war at once Ho Bald tho presi-
