flower, but like the old fashioned rose jar
A tiny drop of the double extract on q

rose lar was so much desired, while the

MORE HOPEFUL AT MADRID
Officially Stated Affairs Have

CABINET DISsENSION RUMORED
Bourse Declined Heavily as a Result and
Public Opinion Remains

MADRID, April THE hope of reach.
ing a peaceful settlement with the
United States is growing stronger. 1t
is reported that the basis Of all armis.
tice in Cuba has been arranged If
this be true royal decree will appear
soon announcing the conclusion of an
armistice. The official statement that
affairs have taken pacific turn has
not yet become generally known and
public opinion remains much excited.
The bourse has declined heavily ow.
ing to the belief that there is dissension
in the cabinet, which, however, the
ministerial supporters absolutely deny.
1t is said that satisfactory agree
ment has been arrived at between the
United States and Spain.
Senor Sagasta, the premier, on ieav.
ing the palace for his daily conference
with the queen regent denied the ru-
mors current of ministerial dissensions.
In conclusion, the premier denied the
report of the embarkation of troops for
the Philippine islands.

CONGRESS WILL WAIT
All Proposed Plans Abandoned
Pending the Transmittal
of the Message.
Disappointed at Postponement
but Accept the Situation
in Good Faith.
Republicans Favoring Radical
Action Meet and Discuss
Future Policy.

WASHINGTON, April 7. -- Notwith-
standing the impatience and disap-
continent caused among the Repub-
lican members Of the house by the
Withholding of the presidents message,
the frank statement Of the president to
the leaders and to several prominent
Democrats that such course was
deemed absolutely necessary by Consul
General Lee to insure the safe de-
parture of the Americans in Cuba,
has caused them to accept the situation
in good faith. Some Of the most rad.
ical, after hearing the statements OF
those who saw the president, appeared
satisfied. Those with whom the pres.
ident talked came away with q very
strong impression that the message
would mean war unless Spain backed
down squarely. One Of them, who has
been very active in antagonizing de.
lays, says the message
win Be Perfectly Satisfactory
to him and will fully meet the expecta-
tions of the country. Pending the
transmittal of the message, in view Of
the situation presented by the presi.
dent, all plans looking to action in the
house will be abandoned. But those
who have been taking part in the rad.
ical movement are more determined
than ever to ultimately obtain what
they desire. They, however, are at
present satisfied with the assurances
they have received as to the character
of the message. But this has not pre-.
vented them from organizing for pos
sible contingencies. The conference
which was to have been held after the
message was in was abandoned, but so
of those who originally iEaugurated
the movement met Immediately after
the house adjourned to discuss the
situation. All who were not
Heartily in Sympathy With Them
were invited to leave. Those at the
meeting unanimously agreed to await
upon the message, but the movement
for caucus started by the presidents
supporters, which was also abandoned
during the afternoon, exposed to them
a danger upon which they had not
reckoned-namely, that caucus of Re-
publicans might be called to bind them
by the party action and place them in
the position of boilers if the occasion
arose for them to adopt an independent
plan of action. A committee of eight
was therefore appointed to count noses,
to watch the situation and to devise
ways and means to meet any tactics of
the opposition. The committee is as
follows: Hopkins Of Illinois, Lorrimer
of Illinois, Tawney of Minnesota,
Cooper of Wisconsin, Hepburn Of
Iowa, Brownwell of Ohio, Joy of Mis-
souri, and Knox of Massachusetts,.
