Effect Badly Felt

Madrid. April 9. - The Imparcial scolds the Spanish government for laxity of spirit agaiiist the attitude of the American congress. It asserts danger still exists whioh is perhaps greater than before. More than ever the effucts of the insurrection are feit in the farming districts, where at the present time it is hard to engage laborers. Mr. Bur-nett, manager of the Península company's big holdings at Maco, says he found it almost I sible to securo sufflcient help to work his ! land, so many young men had gone to Cuba. Another man who owns a largo tract near Toledo, says out of forty hands twelvo had recently gone to war. Any one who tates a trip through the agricultural disUi-jts will bc convinced beyond a doubt that the present strain on the country is terrible, and ono whieh Spain cannot stand without scrious injury for any length of timo. American Congress Condemned. All the papers hotly condemn the ! American congress for the belligerency ; resolutions, which they persist in i ering an net of hostility and insult to the Spanish people, which must be met by resol..te, active preparations for resisting all kinds of intervontion. It is understood the government will calmly await the decisión of, or advances from President Cleveland, bit will, in the meantime, push the opurations in Cuba, while flrnily checking all exaggerations and deinonstrations in Spain that might oréate international complications. Spanish diplomacy has led the government co believe that President Cleveland will endeavor to gain time until the rainy season begins in Cuba, in May, to see if the military situation is really modifiud, meanwhile instructing the American minister at Madrid' to negotiate directly with Cánovas in a friendly way, with a view of making some compromiso that oould satisfy the autonomist aspirations of the majority of the Cubans and the imperial interosts of Spain, through American mediation.
