Ebbitt, is the situation known as News
paper row." A large number of news
paper correspondents were gathered in
front of their offices. Major Mckinley
recognized a mum Der of them whom he
had known during his Congressional resi-
dence here and saluted them pleasantly.
The gathering about the Epbitt was
larger than that at the station. The
streets were thronged with the greatest
asse m blage about the ladies' door on
Fourteenth street, where a squad of
policemen gave the impression that the
President-elect's entrance would be there,
but the carriage containing Major and
Mrs. Mckinley drove around the corner
to the main door on t street. Cheer after
cheer went up from the crowd from the
time the President-eiect was sighted until
he disappeared inside the hotel.
Mr.. Hanna was there waiting for him.
The greetings of the National Chairman
were brief but hearty. He hurried Mr..
and Mrs. Mckinley through the lobby to
an elevator, and quicker than one can tell
the new President and his wife had disap-
pe~Yed from public view. Soon af,sr the
arrival at the Ebbitt House Major and
Mrs Mckinley were. figuratively speak
ing, showed under by bits of white paste
board. but they received few intimate
friends only.
General Russell A. Alger was among the
callers. Mrs. Mckinley was very much fa-

much bitterness, and say it is a disgrace
to Spain, and the Spaniards ough. not to
tolerate it.
General Weyler is going to return to
Havana very soon. The report that he
has been recalled by the Spanish Govern
ment has been confirmed, but the fact has
not yet been officially announced.
The reason of his recall is not disagree
ment between the Captain General and the
central Government concerning the treat
ment of American citizens and the release
of Sangnilly, but the total military failure
of Weyler in the Santa Clara province and
the recent victories of Gomez over Colonel
Argona and Generals Gasco, Segura and
Ruiz.
The report of the disagreement between
Weyler and the Madrid Government above
referred to is only an excuse for conceal
ing the real facts of Weyler's disaster in
Santa Clara.
Weyler is greatly embittered against
the Americans and General Lee.
1t is certain that, while remaining in
Office until his successor arrives, it will be
only under pressure from Madrid that he
will try to protect the American Consul
from the consequences of Spanish ami

EMBASSAD0R BAYARD H0N0RED.
Giyen Banquet by the Lord Mayor OF
London-Many Distinguished Men
Present.

LONDON, ENG, March 2-The farewell
banquet given by the Right Hon. George
Faudet-Phillips. Lord Mayor OF London,
in honor of Embassador Bayard, took
place tonight in the Egyptian Hall, the
principal part OF the Mansion House, the
official residence of the Lord Mayor. The
occasion was the last but one OF the public
appearance of Mr.. Bayard in England.
Altogether over $50 guests were assem-
bled. The Lord Mayor sat at the head of
the table with Mr.. Bayard OH bis right.
Letters of regret were read from Baron
Russell of Halloween, Lord Chief Justice
of England; from DR.. Nansen, the Arctic
explorer, and the Spanish EN- mbassador.
Among the more prominent guests
were: Prime Minister Salisbury Viscount
Cross, Lord Privy Seal; the Marquis of
Lansdowne, Secretary of State for War;
Lord George Hamilton, Secretary of State
for India: Lord Balfour, Secretary for
Scotland; Lord Ashe bourne; Right Hon.

charming scholar and an accomplished

charming scholar and an accomplished
orator.
When Mr.. Bayard rose to reply he was
vigorously cheered. He spoke with evil
dent emotion. He dwelt upon the repre-
sentative bipartisan nature OF the assem-
bly, and said he did not receive the tribute
they offered him as personal one. The
importance of the gathering lay in the
fact that hosts and guests alike stood for
the vast bodies of the people, each inter-
ested in the other. He was unable to
voice what he felt. He believed he was
chosen four years ago by patriotic exec
utive to portray what ought to be the
proper relations between the United States
and Great Britain. His best energies had
been put forth in the fulfillment of his
course Mr.. Bayard dwelt upon the
kindred peoples of Great Britain and the
United States as the pioneers of human
advancement. He alluded to the vanished
glories of the Mediterranean nations,
which were formerly the countries of the
worlds civilization. but which now pre-
sented the ghosts thereof.
This object-lesson was never palmer
than at the present moment, when the
peace of Europe was in jeopardy through
lack Of those vitalities of force and pur-
poses forming the living grandeur OF his
country and that of his listeners.
[Cheers.
He spoke of the presence of the illustri-
Gus statesman who had proven his power
and sense of proportion in his humane ac-
ton in affairs. This reference to Lord
Salisbury was loudly cheered.

WASHINGTON. March 2-President
Cleveland is confined to his bed with an
acute attack of pedal rheumatism, under
orders from his physician no. to arise un-
til he is notably improved, as otherwise
he will not be able to participate in the
inaugural ceremonies of his successor.
The last regular Cabinet meeting was con-
sequently held to-day without its chief.
and all visitors, however important,
failed TO reach him. Notwithstanding
the exceeding painfulness OF the attack,
the prescription of absolute rest for day
or two is confidently relied upon to put
the President upon his feet by Thursday.
The development of his old enemy just at
this time is attributed by his physician
solely to his close, exhausting confne-
ment in order to dispose of the executive
business which has accumulated during
the past week.
The President has not been exposed to
the bad weather for over week, but on
the contrary has been constantly at his
desk an average of eighteen hours day.
Three CLOCK every night has invariably
found him studying legislation heaped
upon him in the final rush Of Congress,

staff
Secretary Thurber said: yesterday an
aid came 70 me and said the Governor
and lis staff would like to pay their re-
spects. / replied that the President would
be very glad TO receive the Governor and
his staff as Well. But would not he please
tell the Governor in confidence, that the
President was suffering from terrible
attack of rheumatism, that he could not
stand or see any one, and was, with diff
Guilty, watching public business. l begged
him earnestly to convey the Presidents
regrets and say that his illness precluded
his seeing any one. That this was strictly
true is shown by the Presidents inability
to see his own Cabinet officers to-day
