Madrid, April 26.- The Spanish government has sent a circular to the powers, supplementing its circular of April 18, and expressing regret at the "hard necesslty of being compelled to appeal to force in order to repel the scandaleus aggreBgion of the United States and to defend the national dignity, tory and integrity of the fatherland." Continuing, the circular note says: "History presents very few instances wherein the reason is so evident on one part and the outrage so undisguised on th otter. Spain has on her side right, correct proceedure and prudence, while the United States has on her side only disloyalty and the impulse of unbridled ambitions." After a reference to the "execrable conduct of General Pitzhugh Lee," the note reproduces the text of the resolution of congress, underlining the last â– words, "as intended to deceive the Cubans." It is then predicted that the island of Cuba will not be declared pacified until it is ready for annexation. Purther on the note gives the details of the rupture of the negotiations between Spain and the United States, concluding- with the following declaration: "The Spanish people await the attack with tranquil serenity, decided to sell their lives dear and to defend energetically their right to remain in America, confident that in this work they will have the assistance of Cubans, who are Spaniards like themselves."
