NEW YORK, March 2.-Ballington Booth

signed statement Of what they intend to
do relative to their recent deposition
from the command Of the Salvation Army

termined to begin the work of organiza.

knowing the date ut which they will COM

the work is too important, and to act
hasty Is not the way to lay the founda.

the Spanish people arc enthusiastically dc.
tcrmincd TO go TO war forthwith with the
United states and to speedily avcnge tho
insult which IL Is fsncied has been offered
to tho pride Of Spain by the United States
senate. Some VI the organs Of public
opinion declare that the bankruptcy Of
tho Spanish government would not prc.
vent the Spanish people from taking up
the quarrel on their own account and fit-
ting out expeditions and maintaining
themselves at their own expense while
combating tho 'insolcncc Of the assertions
Of the United States"
There seems to have been . notable In.
crease Of excitement and patriotic nrdor
among the people since Saturday, when
the news Of the scnates action was first
made known. Such q stress Of feeling as
now exists, II it continue for any length
of time. cannot but afford q serious
menace to tho peaceful relations Of the
two countries. Tho Spanish authorities
seem to have felt apprchcnsions Of the
form the peoples wrath might take, and
provided special safeguards for the sup.

the protection of any official represent

Doesnt Justify, SO IL Is said, the Proposed
Action OF Congress.
The administrations position is q mat
ter of speculation, but - as follows as
near ns can be asccrtained: The informn.
ton In the hands Of the state department
Is from United States consular officers.
The general tendency Of these reports, it
Is learned, Is to establish the fact that the
insurgcnt cause Il not nearly as strong as
has been supposed In congress, and that
ms conditions now exist the administra-
ton would not be warranted in extending
recognition to what it must regard a. a
guerilla movement. Besides, the admin.
istration II of the opinion, based ON the
facts revealed by the consular reports,
that II left to their own devices the insur.
gents cannot prevail against the Spanish
forces In Cuba.
Relieving that congress has been mis-.
led as to the facts and carried away by
enthusiasm to false conclusions the exccu
tive authorities probably will take steps
to lay before the influential members ol
the administration party the facts upon
which IL bases its opinion that the United
states should not take active steps in the
Cuban-Spanish conflict at this time.
Senator Lodge. speaking Of the attack
on tho consulate. said to an Associated
Press representative: The news from
Spain In your dispatches Is grave, for !,

Mr. Webster said in the famous Hulz
