SAOASTA'S FIERY SPEECH. He Said Acts, Not Words, Are Now Necessary. Madrid, via Paris, April 19, (By Ca bledThe supporters of the govern ment in both houses of Parliament met in the Senate chamber at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Senor Sagasta, the Pre mier, addressed them as follows: "The times are so grave and the circum stances are so exceptional that acts aud uot words are necessary to face the present difficulty. Attempts are being made to sully the glorious history of Spain by an" infamous calumny. The diilereut Spanish governments have done their utmost to avert the war to which we are being provoked. We have now reached tho limits of concession, compatible with honor and territorial integrity. Wo consented to the last concession at the instance of the Pope and the powers. We yielded in fact; but now attempts are made upon our honor, aud menaces directed aguinst our territory. J hat i a thing to which Spaniards will never consent. (Applause). This is not the moment to trace a parliamentary pro gramme, but the moment to uniie our selves, us our fathers have done, in the face of au odious attempt against the integrity of our territory. The insult oii'eied us today is the most infamous that has ever been oflered." (Pro longed cheering). Continuing Senor Sagasta counselled the rapid constitution of the chambers iu order to accord to the government the means to clefend the country's in terests. "Spain," he added, "will not allow a parcel of her territory to be taken from Ler with impunity: nor will she be a party to any trafficking for her pussernious." Prolonged and enthusi astic cheers greeted th9 speech. FEELING IX SPAIN. Kathcr Fight Than Yield The Queen's Speech is Firm. Madrid. Spain, April 13, (By Cable. : The general belief here is that the joint resolution of Congress makes war between Spain and the United States inevitable. The terms of the speech which the Queen Regent will deliver at the ot eniug of the Cortes are jealously guarded, but it is said thr.t the speeea will prove firm, convincing and satis factory to the national sentiments. It is claimed here that perfect harmony prevails in Spain to face war rather than yield to the demands of the L'nited states. t n the receipt of a dispatch from the . Spanish minister at Washinston, Senor ; 1 clo y Bernabe, giving the result of 1 the voting in Congress, tho Minister ' for Foieign Affairs, Senor Gallon, for- warded to all the Spanish ambassadors ; a memorandum to submit to the for eign governments, setting forth the . grievances uf Spain, showing all Spain Las done t? avoid war, and saying the responsibility for war rests entire!- up on the United States.
