THE QUEEN REGENT.

Has Confidence in the Spanish People.

Maprip, May 5.— In an interview, the Queen Regent said: “We have almost all Europe with us in the painful moments we are now passing througo. That is great consolation, and at the same time an encouragement. Notthat we shall ask anything whatever from the powers which are expressing their sympathies for us, but from the point of view of strici right, their attitude tcuches us pro oundly. Ev.rybody here is ready to shed the last urop of bis blood to defend his country.

“Everybody is ready todo his duty te fight like a bero on the batiefel’s The Spaniards are fighting for their country. [he Americans are fighting each for himself. That is the way we are proud of Earopean encocragement. Every kind of humiliation was heaped upcn us by the United States.” :

“They sar, your majesty,” said the

correspondent, “that thereal reason of the American minister's departure was not the one announced—that is the Spapish goverament’s refutal to receive the ultimatum of the United States.” “The reason given was nevertheless almost the correct one,” was the Queeo’s reply. “ But previously tbe United Sia’es miaister bad deliyered the verbal vlti- matuim : either Cuba must be pacified with- jn 48 hours or elee a rupture of diplomatic relaiions ; that is, war will ensue. Under there circumstances the reception of the ultimatum bad become unnecessary. The American government,” continued the Queen, “gave way before pressure of pub- he opinion. That is the explanation of the otherwise inexplicable situation, be- cause we bad agreed to everything we could.”
