and such interference is the solution de-
sired by all business men in the island.

1t is said here that Weyler will leave the

of Pinar del Rio, Havana, Matanzas and
Santa Clara in good condition for the es-
sta blishment of reforms which will begin
in July. Another general of a more lib
eral policy than he will be appointed to
carry out the reforms. The Spanish Gov
ernment understands that Weyler's un-
popularity is too great to enable him to be
successful.
A. Dubouchett, an American citizen,
has presented claim to the United States
Government, through the American Con-
sulate here. against Spain. The Spanish
commander of the Battalion Infante has
notified Weyler that he found a great
quantity of dynamite BOMBS hidden in
the hills around Asiento Vieio, Taburete,
Canada and Ell Ingles in Pinar del Rio.
Some of the bombs exploded, killing
many Spanish soldiers OF the 1nfante and
Aragon battalions. This report has been
suppressed by the censor. Captain Juan
Urguia, leader of the Spanish guerrillas

the battle the most sanguinary of the
whole campaign. The first estimate
cabled to the Sun and CALL that 1000
Greeks were killed was probably not ex-
aggerated. Fully 1000 Turks were also
killed.
Reasons for the facts being concealed by
the Greek Government have already been
indicated. 1t is hoped in Athens that the
revolutionary spirit will now be kept
down, but the danger will not be>oyer for
some days yet. 1t is not expected that
anything definite regarding the terms of
peace will be arrans Il before the expira-
tion of the seventeen days armistice, and
i. will probably be necessary to make one
if not several extensions of tine time.
The Porte Is now blowing hot and cold.
The strength of the Russian and German
influence in Constantinople is the imme-
diate key to the situation. Efforts are
being made, especially in Paris, to show
the foreign controller of the Sultan is the
Czar, not Emperor William, and the letter
of the Russian Emperor to the Sultan,
which secured the armistice, is quoted as
proof of this. English diplomats are be-
ginning to undeceive themselves and
recognize that the three emperors are
Jointly in full control at Constantinople.
Meanwhile actual peace negotiations are
not even begun, for the EN- bassadors at
Constantinople telegraphed their Govern
ments for instructions only to-day. Specu-
lation about the terms thereof is only
guesswork.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 20.-What
action will be taken by the House con-
cerning the Senate resolution recognizing
the belligerencv of the Cubans is some
thing nobody can tell at the present time.
The President, while in hearty sympathy
with the cause OF the insurgents, and
ready to extend them the moral assistance
OF the United States at the earliest mo-
ment he believes it practicable, would
like the House to hold the measure in
allowance until the executive end OF the
Government can see its way clear TO act.
He indicated this pretty emphatically at
to-dav's meeting Of the Cabinet during
the general discussion of the Cuban stua-
ton. The passage of the Morgan resolu-
ton formed an initiatory subject. and led
to the consideration of The struggle in the
island, with especial reference to the in
terest Of this country in bringing it to
an end.
President Mckinley gave earnest ex-
preston to his views on what he believed
to De an attempt of Senators to force his
that he does not intend to be swerved
from his purpose to postpone action until
Calhoun, the special Commissioner makes
a report. 1t is generally understood the
President will do all he can TO bring about
Cuban independence, but he believes the
executive, and not Congress, should take
the initiative. The President and his
advisers believe the most critical feature
OF the situation is the attitude OF the
Liberal party in the Cortez toward the
war. Action in Madrid is more likely to
precipltate a crisis than action by the
Congress of the United States, and the
suggestion that Spain may make a final
move toward the freedom of Cuba is saiu
to have some supporters among mem bers
OF the administration. Minister Taylor
in Madrid Is keeping the State Depart
ment informed of the political situation
there, and news of the speedy fall OF the
Canovas Ministry would not surprise this
Government.
Meanwhile Consul General Lee is de-
voting himself to the relief of the dis
tressed Americans in Cuba He is not
sending any interesting dispatches to the
State Department and is seemingly
awaiting the end with the compla cency
born of the knowledge that he has not
been deceived at any time by the claims
of the Spaniards that they would uIti-
mately conquer the insurgents.
Part of the relief fund carried by the
joint resolution which passed the House
yesterday was placed at his disposal Oh
the suggestion of Consul Brice, who tee-
citizens there needed immediate relief. A
dispatch WAS accordingly sent Lee direct

lobby, and the fact becoming known in
the Senate caused great excitement, dur
ing which the sitting was suspended.
The Liberals Immediately assem- bled to
consider the situation and summons
was sent to Senior Sagasta. The Ministeri-
alists also met and sent an urgent sum-
mons to the Prime Minister. Both were
absent. After conference with his col
leagues, the Duke of Tetuan resigned his
Office. which will has led ad interim BY
the Premier.
The Senator whose ears were boxed was
Senior Comas, who had raised the question
of the action OF the American Senate.
The exciting incident which culmipated
in the Senate fight was provoked by the
statement of the Duke of Tetuan that Sa-
gasta's speech the other day to the Lib
erals had contributed to bring about the
vote in the American Senate.
General Pando said: Everything now

ing him to draw on the State Department
for $40. 900 for the immediate purchase of
supplies and transportation of such as de-
sire to return to the United States.
Lee was also instructed to furnish Con-
suls at discretion sums for this purpose.
These directions were sent with the un-
derstanding that the relief resolution
would be signed by the President to-day,
but hitch occurred which prevents the
money from becoming available until
Monday. Hobart failed to sign the reso-
luton when it passed the Senate, and as
he is required to announce his certiica-
ton in open session the measure cannot
be sent to the President until the Senate
meets again on Monday. This has not
caused any embarrassment, however, as
any money drawn by Lee prior to that
time will be charged against the emer-
gency fund until the resolution is FORM
allv approved. The $4,000 placed at the
disposal of Lee is merely for emergency
cases, and the remaining $40 900 will be
distributed in q manner not Yet de-
cided on.
Among the Presidents callers to-day
was Representative Mills of Chicago. He
told Mckinley the feeling in the West
was un AM m ously in favor of the recogni-
ton of the Cubans. The President, he
said, replied that the West was no gre ater
friend of Cuba than he was.

sentative Warner of Illinois tonight
Calhoun is in sympathy with the
Cubans. l know this, for l have had it
from his own lips, and if there is the least
shadow of an excuse for making it favor
