DIVERSE TARIFF DEMANDS.
Many Interests to Be Considered In Fram-
 ing the New Bill.

Many Interests to Be Considered In Tram.
 ing the New Hill.
 WASHINGTON, April 17.-That thero are many interests to be considered in the framing of tariff bill was espe- cially shown yesterday by the action of Senators Baker and Harris, of Kan. sas, who appeared before the republic. an subcommittee of the finance conn mittee to protest against any change in the duty on Mexican cattle. Their objection was based on the ground that the Mexican cattle brought into the states were fattened for market on the pastures of Kansas and other vest ern states, thus benefiting the farmers of those states. Senators and repre' sentatives of the intermountain states, which are largely engaged in grazing, have steadily urged higher duty than now exists, claiming that it was neces- sary to protect the cattlemen of their states. In this connection, the same men are pleading for restoration of the duty on hides, which the hide and leather men are so vigorously oppos- ing. It is noticeable that nearly all of the advocates of duty on hides are also advocates for the establishment ot stiff duty on wool.

;he greatest indignation among the republicans, all of whom denounced it IS a conspiracy among Frankfort dem- ,crats to defeat and humiliate Hunter. They claimed that the indictments against Gaines and Tanner, the demo- ,rats, were returned simply as savers" to prevent the public generally from raining the impression that the grand
 jury had been made an engine of politi- gal persecution, and that they would be dismissed atthe rsthearing on account ,f insufficient evidence. Chairman Jones, of the republican caucus, said that it was "diabolical and hellish conspiracy" and that the republicans would disprove and resent it in proper spirit. State Senator Deboe was of the same opinion and not one of the republican leaders hesitated to con- lemn the action of the grand jury as partisan and prejudiced.

TO END THE WAR.
Twenty-Five Thousand Americans
 Ready to Go to Cuba.
A Sensational Proposition Made to the Junta in Washington by the American Volunteer League-They Reside
 in western States.

WAsHINaToN, April TIA new and sensational turn in Cuban affairs has just developed which promises to put an entirely different phase on the war in Cuba within the next three months, if the proposition just made is accept cd. For the last three days the Cuban junta-. President Thomas Estrada Pal. ma, Secretary Quesada and Treasurer Guerra-has been holding series of important conferences in Washington. Yesterday they were closeted with three prominent western men who rep resent the American Volunteer league, an organization with branches in Kan sas, Missouri, Texas, Arkansas, Illi- nois, and at least 20 of the western states. The report of the league sub mitted to the junta contains plan, worked out to the smallest details, by which 15,000 Americans, all drilled and trained in the use of arms, can be placed on the island under the flag of Cuba Libre within the next 90 days.
 The officers of the league told the junta they had enlisted, ready to start for Cuba on 24 hours notice, 15,000 men. For the most part they belong to the militia of the different states, are disciplined, drilled and eager to fight. One regiment is organized in Missouri, one in Kansas, one in Ne. braska, one in Texas and one us far west as Oregon. To arm this force 15,. 900 Springfield rifles have been engaged and 1000 Krag-Jorgensen guns have been secured for the use of the corps of sharpshooters. For Sl,000,000 the representative of the American Volun- teer league offered to put 15,000 Amer ican soldiers in Cuba within 90 days, in the language of their leader, ito march from one end of the island of Cuba to the other and to lick every Spanish force in the way"
 The representatives of the league also submitted to the junta plan for raising the necessary money. They asked them to issue s1 ,000, 900 in bonds of 6 and $l0 denomination, and showed them that they had propositions from two western smelters to furnish silver bullion. and to coin it into silver money of our denominations, to aid in floating the bonds. The officers of the junta have gone to New York to consider the matter. They will come to Washing. ton again next week to meet the repre- sentatives of the American Volunteer league and to give final answer to this proposition,
 According to Information received from trustworthy sources here the withdrawal of at least part of the great army that Spain has maintained for several years in the island of Cuba will begin when the rainy season sets in within few days. The initial movement will be the departure of l0,- 900 Spanish troops from Havana for Spain, and within a short time after that 3o,OOO troops, it is understood. will follow. Whether this movement is to be construed in favor of or against the insurgents is not possible to say.

WAR HAS BEGUN.

Turkey Declares Hostilities Against Greece
 and Says the Latter Is the Aggressor.
 CoNsrANTINoPLE, April 19.-Follow- ing the news of the incursion by the Greeks on Turkish territory, the coun- cil of ministers at the palace has de- clared that war had broken out and re- called the assembly, gave his passports to Prince Maurocorddoto, the Greek en- voy extraordinary and minister pleni- potentiary, and ordered Edhem Pasha, the Turkish military commander, to take the offensive. A detailed circular sent to the Turkish representa- tives abroad recalls the weeks in- vasions and states that the new est incursion was participated in by the Greek troops, which therefore es- tablishes the fact that war has broken out. The circular expresses the hope that the powers in a spirit of justice will agree that the entire responsibil- ity for the war falls on Greece, and de- clares that Turkey has no idea of con- quest, but will retire the Turkish troops on the frontier if Greece will re- tire hers from the frontier and from Crete.
 A dispatch from Macedonia says: Greeks, from all their positions in the Karya district, began the advance to- ward the frontier Friday evening. Fighting lasted all that night and ex- tended on Saturday to within ten miles of the frontier. It is estimated that 15,000 Greeks were engaged. The bat tie continued with great vigor through out Saturday night and Sunday, when, altogether, 5000 were engaged Con- sidering the rapidity of the firing the number killed is comparatively small, probably under 200. Altogether, the behavior of the Turkish troops was better than that of the Greeks. Their officers remained cool and collected. The firing still continue s, but it is ex- pected to cease at nightfall, as the troops have been engaged for 30 hours without food or sleep.
