WASHINGTON HEARS OF THE RIO
No Surprise Felt That the spaniards Ar
Waxing Very wroth.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-Intense inter.

cans regarding the Cuban question and
the statement that tho government Is in.
rrcasing its naval forcc. No surprisc was
expressed at tho demonstrations which
have occurred: in fact such where ex-
pectcd. The speeches in tho senate, ex.
tracts Of which have no doubt been pub,
lishcd In the Spanish rspels.se1vo-had
their influence on the masses Of the people.
Tho whole matter Is regarded here
simply rs that Of mob violence, for which
the Spanish government has not in any
manner bccn responsible. So far as could
be learned no official news had been re.
ccivcd hero by the government. Steps un-
doubtcdly will be taken very promptly to-
day to ascertain the situation through
state department. channels, II Minister

ings in Spain through the press, and he
was bcsicgcd by the reporters for an ex.
precision of opinion.
He automatically declined, however, to
say anything for publication pending
news from his government. The viola,
tion Of the consulate OF the United States
nt Barcelona makes disavowal necessary

quiro of the Spanish government wha:
amends will be made. The case finds an
analogous one In an event which occurred
In this country sixty years ago when a
mob Of persons In New Orleans assaulted
the Spanish consulate at a time when the
Florida question was uppcrmost in tho
public mind. It was case Of mob VIC.
lence and the government Of tho United
States compensaten to Spain for the
damage done.
Chairman Hit, Of the house COMMITTEES
on foreign affairs, Is confident that the ut
titudc of our own government will be one
of great caution ut this juncturc, and 1t il
not probable that any act or expression
that may cmanate from 1t will add to the
difficulty Of peaceable and honorable
settlement Of the trouble. The danger tc
be apprehcnded in his mind Is solely in
some incorporate utteranccs in congres:
that may add to tho excitement and pre-
cipitate collision unnecessarily.

CHRISTIAN ENVEAVOR..
Already Preparing for the Great
Convention in July.
MONSTER GATHERING EXPECTED.

It Is Believed That Fully seventy-Rve
Thousand Delegates win be in Atten-
dance, and There win he Ample Accom-
modations For All
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The fourth an
nual convention of the local Christian En-
deavor union closed yesterday afternoon
with an overlooking mass meeting in
Central hall. Enthusiasm has run high
during the past few days, and Washing
tonians look upon the event as but a fore
east of the International convention to be
held here in July next. Every society in
the district was represented at the ses-
sions, and very large number of tho
city olergymen occupied platform seats.
The most enthusiastic meeting was the
rally of the international convention com
mittees in Central Hall. Every seat was
occupied and scores of persons stood dur
ing the entire session. The meeting was
addressed by President Clark and by John
Willis Baer, general secretary of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor,
both of whom came from Boston for the
express purpose of comforting with the Of
flcers of the committee of '96 and of seeing
and speaking to the rank and file of the
workers.
Secretary Boer talked on "The respon-
sibility of the individual worker" and as
his memory was fresh with the achieve
ment of the BOSTON committee i'm charge
of the 'o5 convention his noints and sup-
pestions were exceedinglv nractical He
was followed Inv president CLARK whose

THE KENTUCKY SENAToRsHIP.
An Evident Disposition TO Ignore the
Agreement for POstponement

An Evident Disposition TO Ignore the
Agreement for Postponement.
FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 30 The city is
filling up with the friends of Blackburn
and Hunter. Although the leaders of both
parties had agreed that there should be no
balloting for senator till Feb. 4, or until
after the successor OF Wilson had quail
flied, yet the nominees of the caucuses
seem to be so suspicious of each other that
they are marshaling their forces here for
balloting in both houses separately to-
morrow, and the friends of Hunter are
claiming that he will be declared elected
On Wednesday. Some Republican sena-
tors insist they will join the Democrats in
postponing the election till after Wilson'S
successor arrives, as there was authority
for the agreement.
Some of Hunters most ardent supporters
think the scheme to postpone the election
of senator was trick in the interest of
Bradley or Yer1es, and that they should
therefore not abide by it. In addition to
the opposition from those who want to
stand by the compromise agreement, a
Populist, Poor, has become estranged from
Hunter, but he says he will never go to
Blackburn, so that it does not seem pos
sible for any election of senator to occur
this week The deadlock between Hunter
and Blackburn, with their fighting friends
on the ground, is expected to make trouble.
Both sides are very determined.
