SPAIN IS DEFIANT.

S.guiflcant Interview with Two Members of the Cabinet. DECLARE SPUN WILL STAND FIRM. Every Attack Upon Jler Sovereignty Im Cuba.’ to He Repelled—Feels Justified In Carrying on War Preparations. London, April 14. —The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing at five o’clock Wednesday evening, says: "Lieut. Gen. Correa, minister of war, and Count Xlquena, minister of public works, both toid m‘e in a conversation that the government was. firmly resolved to repel every attack, direct or indirect, on the sovereignty of Spain in Cuba. They said also that "they were sure this line cf conduct on the part of Spain would certainly be supported by th? European powers, more especially because the negotiations were baSecL-on an acknowledgement cf Spanish sovereignty in Cuba. They told me that tconduct of Spain would be adjusted to that of the United States, and that in face 'of the fact of the continuanceT.f military and nhval preparations in the United States Spain was fully justified in carrying on her preparations. Flnahy the minister said to me: ‘Ourresolution at the cabinet council was taken unanimous.j, arm we shai, maintain it With all the. necessary energy.’ ” Suggested Abandonment of Cuba. Madrid, April 14. —Upon the reassembling of flu eortes Col. Genuro Alas (retired), lately elected a deputy for Saneti Spirt, us, Cuba, will introduce a bill to lite effect that Spain should evacuate Cuba, reserving her sovereignty ami a., yuady royalty,..with an arrangement as to the debts. Col. Alas says that Spain ean accept r ; better solution in aid of peace in the i xisi'i’ng cireunistanees, and he thinks the powers could propose no oth'•’ ■' ion at the stage now reach-. <l. .-'agasta Talks'. London. April 11. A Madrid dispatch says that Sagasta, the Spanish premier, is quoted as saying that he considers President McKinley’s message "deplorable,” and he is said to have expressed the belief that it was “forced from him by the clamor of congress, which took advantage of his weakness, although President McKinley personally wished to modify it.” Senor Sagasta is reported to have added: “The length of the armistice depends upon how the rebels behave and upon the attitude of th: United States. Senor Polo y Bernabe has bten instructed to present Secretary Sherman with another memorandum,’* In conclusion, the Spani-h premier is quoted as having announced that he believed ebngress would grant President McKinley the powers he asked for. Madrid. April 14. As the result of a long important cabinet council Tuesday night the'Spanish war office is actively engaged in fortifying and manning the Mediterranean islands of Spain and in placing other portions of th’e kingdom in a state of defense. It is understood that instructions have been cabled to (’apt. Gen. Blanco 'to carry the suspension of hostilities into practical effect, "according to the (circumstances in each district.”

The cabinet meeting lasted live hours, .nud, it is said, was-mainly devoted to the consideration of President McKinley’s message to congress on the Cuban situation. When the ministers adjourned an official note was issued, setting forth the views of the government. It isvariously commented upon and interpreted in newspaper circles. Senor Gullon read a report of the text of President McKinley's message. Although several paragraphs were lacking, the cabinet, after referring to the president’s previous messages, which was considered necessary in order to fill up the gaps in the present summary, decided that the paragraphs read were sufficient for the cabinet to affirm that the government refuses to acknowledge the right of the United States to interfere in Cuba, adding: “The doctrines contained in the message are incompatible with the sovereignty and rights of the nation, and are an interference in the international affairs of this country." The Sprjtish government, however, expressed *7llO opinion that it is not called upon to take, action until the recommendation* of President McKinley have become specific acts. Thus it is considered by the Spaniards here that matters are practically as they were before the message was sent to congress, and the opinion is expressed in official circles that neither the message nor Tuesday night’s cabinet meeting has changed the prospects of pence. The Spanish government considers that, apart from Its solemn affirmation of Spain’s rights as a nation, the ministers are not called upon to make any declaration so long as the resolutions of congress or the initiative of President McKinley do not lead to concrete act*. The official note also says: “A firm consciousness of its rights, united with the resolution to maintain them, will inspire the nation, as they Inspire the government, with the •erenlty necessary in these difficult moments to direct successfully and defend energetically the sacred interests which are the patrimony of the Spanish race.”

HCArtnur ar.a ueaney Mu we nsn cummission steamer Albatross have been turned over to the navy department for service in case of need. The afternoon newspapers of London unanimously express the opinion that both the United States and Spain are heading straight for war. There is also a disposition to blame President McKinley for his alleged indecision. The Spanish premier, Senor Segasta, in an InterviewTVednesday morning said, according to a special dispatch from Madrid, that he thought the net do —mere- than they • had..already. cLqm, in the. way of intervention. The navy department has decided to buy the trans-Atlantic liners St. Paul and St Louis. The vessels at present belong to the American line. and under the terms of the subsidy q.ct are at the disposal of the government in times of emergency. A special dispatch from Rome announces that the pope has again telegraphed to Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, begging him to use his influence wjth the other sovereigns in behalf of peace between the United States and Spain.

GREAT ACTIVITY SHOWN.

Important and Significant Steps Taken by the Naval and War Departments. Washington, April 14. Wednesday was a day of stirring activity at the na.yy and war departments. Anticipating decisive action by congress,'• th® machinery of the military and naval branches of the government was early put in motion and’events of grave significance followed in quick succession. The first event to become known was the acquisition by the navy department of the American line steamships St. Ixttiis and St. Paul, and coupled with the announcement came the information that in all probability Capt. Sigsbee would be placed in command of one and Capt. Goodrich of the other. Early’ in the forenoon the naval strategic board went into session and called Consul-General Lee into the conference. The session was a long one, and was devoted to a thorough discussion of offensive and defensive movements in Cuban waters, Gen. Lee being able to give the board much valuable information regarding the defenses of Havana. Crowdingclose upon the heels of these events teas the news that the flying squadron had raised anchors and put to sea. This fact caused intense excitement in all quarters, and fina.ly elicited the official statement that the squadron had. merely gone to sea for a short practice.cruise. There was an evident anxiety on the part of officials for news of the various Spanish fle,e;s, but up to a late hour no word had been received of any movement in that quarter. It was rumored that the Spanish vessels at Puerto Hico had sailed, but this could r-'-t be confirmed. Complete arrangements have been made for the immediate mobilization of practically the entire ntilitary force of the government at the Chickamauga National park at the first signs of trouble. It is expected in case of necessity a call will be issued for about 40,000 troops, preferably from the national guard of the different states and territories. In the event that the war policy contemplates the invasion of Cuba, the army may be increased to 10b,000 men. Of this the regular troops and the national guard will aggregate about 55.000 men. and the remainder vs ill be made up of volunteers. In the event of a call upon the national gua’-l'l attention will be directed first to the .organizations in the states of N’ew York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and the District of Columbia. Gen. Miles’plan is to mobilize 17 of the 25 regiments of infantry and five of the ten regiments cf cavalry at the Chickamauga park as speedily as possible.
