In sipiite of nu merous conferences of officials, of .the; continuation- of the preparations nowj in progress on a large scale to put the coumtry in a state of defense, and of the. outhurst-oi 'patriotic speeches in. congresSj there was a feeling- apparent in the 'best informed oirclea that the situation as to our -relations with.

Perhaps the semi official advices received through the lAssocia ted Press Jf rom iMadirild, indicat ing a peacef ul purpose on. the part of jthe Spanish . government, contributed tn large measure o the feeling, or it may .. have beenl that - the gr&wingr knowledge of Ithe vast extent of our jn resourtes tended to the belief ha't they .would .- irripress others with he futility of: attacking the United States.
