an hour and half, and at its conclusion
the great men Of Congress proceeded to the
Capitol They kept very quiet about what
had been done at the White House, and
Chairman Cannon, of the House appropria-
tions committee, slipped in his S5O.OOO, 900 ap-
preparation bill so covertly that it was
half or three-quarters of an hour before
anybody discovered what he had done.
When the fact was out, however, it spread
Ike wild-fire and in few minutes the
whole country knew of it, Its significance
was at first misunderstood and was con-
strued in many quarters to be preliminary
to declaration of war; later and better
understanding gave it distinctly the color
of peace measure, and tonight the feel
ing at the national capital is that we are
in a better position to negotiate for a peace
full solution of the Cuban problem than we
have been since the insurrection on the
island broke out, three years ago. This is
the optimistic view, but 1t is one held by
great many people of commanding influ-
ence in public affairs.
Things happen so fast these days that
conclusions one minute may have to be
changed entirely by the developments of the
next, and it is exceedingly unsafe to rely
too securely Judgment formed on current
appearances. There is always the contn-
gency, which must never be lost sight of
entirely, that something may happen to up
set the wisest and most carefully laid plans
and precipitate war; The situation is vol
canic, and must remain so until the end is
reached and terms of permanent settlement
agreed on.
The report Of the court of inquiry appoint
ed to ascertain the cause of the explosion
of the Maine remains to be- heard. Quite
as important as that, under existing cir
cumstances, is the Cuban correspondence
in the Presidents hands awaiting transmits
sion to Congress. When these matters are
made public there will inevitably be more
excitement and the introduction of addi-
tional Inflammation. Either of these COM
munications may set off the mine and bring
the two countries together in armed con-
fiict But at this moment 1t looks as though
the furry over the demand of Lees recall
and the protest against carrying food in
American war ships to the starving recon-
centrados seems likely to blow over Never
has there been a quicker change than that
which was witnessed to-day. Yesterday and
this morning the skies were black, and omi-
nous war clouds hung low. Tonight there
is promise Of period of calm, during which
much progress may be made toward O.
peaceful adjustment of the differences be-
tween Spain and the United States over
Cuba.

After Seeing Mckinley He Says He
VIII Not Rush PelI-MelI Into War.

CLEVELAND o., March 7.-Col. Charles
Dick, secretary of the Republican national
committee, and a close friend of President
Mckinley and Senator Hanna, arrived here
from Washington to-day. In answer to
questions he said: Just before leaving
Washington 1 talked with both President
Mckinley and Senator Hanna. OF course,
nothing that either Of them said on the sub
ject of our relations with Spain is for repe-
tition. 1 can say, generally, however, that
the grave situation is realized fully in
Washington and all preparations are being
made for any emergency At the same time
there will be no war with Spain or any 9TH
or foreign power at this or any time, unless
absolute justification for it exists. This Ma
ton will preserve its dignity and independ-
ence, but will not rush pell-mell into war.
President McKinley's dignified attitude is
very thoroughly appreciated by all except
a few jingoes who are ready at any time to
rush into battle with their mouths"

NINE LAID BY WEyLER.
Explosives Purchased by Cuba's For
mer Captain General.

NEW YORK, March THE Journal and
Advertiser will tomorrow print a story to
the effect that former Captain General
Weyler, of Cuba, bought a large quantity
Of powder from the Dittmar Powder Com
pany, of this city, the powder being shipped
to Havana last November. Lieutenant
White, of the Twenty-third Regiment, Ma
tional Guard, of this city. is given as an
authority for this statement The claim is
made that the powder and a large quantity
of other explosives were shipped to Ha-
vana on the steamer Ciudad Condal about
Nov. 20. 1t is asserted that the two national
guardsmen who had charge of the explo-
sives on behalf of the Dittmar Powder Com
pany We're Capt. G. F. Hamlin and Lieut.
White. Hamlin is the manager of the Ditt-
mar Powder Company, while White is the
bookkeeper. On account Of the large guam
tity of powerful explosives and cable coils
purchased, it is inferred that Captain Cen
eral Weyler wished to use the articles in
the construction of a dynamite mine.

BOUTELLE's STATEMENT.
Congress VIII Give Mckinley Unani-
nous Support I'm What He Does.

WASHINGTON, March 7s-Congressman
Boutelle, chairman of the House naval COM
mittee, made the following statement to-
night to the Associated Press: "At an in
terview with Secretary Long on Sunday, at
which the subject OF authorizing the Presi-
dent to provide for emergencies was dis
cussed, 1 suggested the desirability of
conference of the executive officers with
representative members of the House and
Senate AS a result conferences were held
at the White House. in which the President,
Secretaries Long and Alger, Senators Alli-
son and Hale, chairmen of the Senate COM
mittees on appropriations and naval af-
fairs, and Chairmen Cannon and Boutelle,
chairmen of those committees in the House,
Chairman Dingley, of the ways and means
committee, Congressman GroseVnor and 9TH
ers participated. Some ten days ago 1
received from the Navy Department re-
quests for certain legislation in connection
with naval affairs, but before action could
be taken the secretary and President de-
sired that the measures be temporarily
withheld as possibly liable at that time to
intiame the public excitement, and because
the objects Immediately sought could be
otherwise attained. For maintaining silence
in this regard l have been subjected to very
that is what every faithful public servant
must expect to endure from time to time
At the conference to-day it was deemed
advisable to give the public the assurance
that Congress would invest the President
with discretionary power to prepare for
all emergencies. which should be as broad
as the possibilities of events, and, therefore
instead Of passing various bills authorizing
specific action under the several depart
ments, a general credit of $50 900, 900 should
be reported by the appropriations commit
tees of the two houses and placed at the
disposal of the President to meet any ex-
igency that may arise. Speaker Reed was
in personal conference with the President
during the day and will prepare for prompt
action upon the bill in the House. This
legislation should not be interpreted as in
dicating that war is expected, but as a
precautionary provision and an assurance
to the world that the government at WASH

to the Maine They were buried with the
same ceremonies observed when the first
body was buried on Thursday last. Doubt
has been thrown on the naturalization of
one of the bodies buried to-day which at
Havana was believed to be that of Sergeant
Wagner, of the marines. Chaplain Child
wick writes that it is uncertain whether the
body is that of Wagner or Private Marine
Lamiete.
At the cemetery about four hundred per-
sons witnessed the interment. One of the
bodies buried to-day is thought to be that
of Robert White, mess attendant, and an
other is supposed to be that of a sergeant
of marines, but it was not fully identified.
The bodies were put in one coffin. One
hearse and four ordinary wagons, covered
with the stars and stripes were used to
convey the remains to the cemetery, where
Chaplain Royce, Of the cruiser New York,
read the burial service. Commander Nc
Gala and a gun division from the United
States cruiser Marblehead paid the last
honors to the remains. All was quiet at
Havana when the Bache left there last
night.

His Holiness Urging Spain to Arbi-
trate the Cuban Question.

0OkAnchS spain TO ArO1-
trate the Cuban Question.
NEW YORK, March IA Journal copy
right cablegram from Madrid says: The
Spanish government is making extraordi-
nary efforts to prevent news getting in or
out OF Spain Thousands of dispatches are
suppressed Sagasta is afraid to let the peo-
pie of Spain know the truth about the situ-
alton. He has utterly failed to raise the
money needed for war preparations and is
hiding from the Spaniards the fact that The
United States is rapidly putting its navy in
fighting condition.
1 have private advices that the Pope is
doing all in his power to induce Spain to
submit the whole Cuban question to arbi-
tration. Sagasta does not dare consent, for
he breads the military leaders, who are
really anxious to fight the United States.
The result Of the present negotiations be-
tween the Pope and the Queen Regent will
demonstrate how mulch influence and au-
thority the Vatican has in Spain to-day.
If Sagasta persists in resisting the advice
of the Pope it is likely that the whole pow
er OF the church will be exerted to secure
the independence Of the Cuban republic.
The Queen Regent is personally willing to
accept the councils Of the Pope, but she is
pOWSrleSS 10 act, UeluS cOnSuIullOudl
monarch and compelled to follow the advice
Of her ministers. A statement made by Car
dinal Rampolla yesterday shows the abso-
lutte impotency of Spain, as the Vatican is
as minutely and accurately informed about
Spain's finances as the Spanish minister of
finance himself. Spain is completely iso-
lated, and, as Rampolla says, no European
nation will dare to hinder the United States
from giving liberty to Cuba.

VIEWS OF BRITIsHERs.
EngIishmen Should Not Repeat Past
Mistakes and Oppose America.

LONDON, March S.--The Times editorial
ly says this morning: IF Spain is placed in
an awkward position respecting the Lee in
cident she must thank the indiscretion of
her Foreign Office. She cannot blame Pres
ident Mckinley. Mr.. Cannons bill can
hardly be explained by the Lee incident. 1t
is probably due to the rumors that Spain
is purchasing war vessels. We do not be-
leve that Spain desires war, but if she does
this evidence of American alertness offers a
most effectual check. President Mckinley
appears to be adhering Loyalty to the policy
of frmness, caution and pacific circt mspec-
tion he has hitherto pursued. No doubt he
has the support of the sober and conscien-
tious mass of the American people, but he
has had to face outbursts of popular clamor
that O. weaker man might have mistaken
for the voice of the country. The compile
ity of the Spanish government in the Maine
disaster is a hypothesis too monstrous and
irrational to be entertained and except
that, there is nothing impossible OF arrange
ment, between Spain and America while
the intractable nature of Cuba's disorders
cannot but inspire thoughtful Americans
with a serious doubt as to the wisdom of
annexation"
The Daily News, in its editorial on the
Cuban situation, says: I'VE cannot doubt
as to the ultimate issue of a war between
the United States and Spain, but America
might have a bad quarter of a hour before
victory. European alliances against the
United States may be left out of the ques-
ton. despite the tall talk of Spains friends.
The attitude of the Spanish American re-
publics, however. may make the Americans
pause The one thing needful, so far AS
England is concerned, is that those who
have so often mismanaged our relations
with the United States should not repeat
their historic mistakes. 1t may be taken
for granted that America wants nothing

to e. so. The day was beautiful, and the
wreckers advanced steadily in clearing
away the debris. Many articles Of personal
value to the officers of the Maine are re-
covered from time to time The wreckers
and divers, when below, work hard. The
Maine was exceptionally high between
decks, which makes the effort of getting
out the bodies more difficult. They float to
the ceilings and are entangled in the debris.
Captain Sampson and Judge Advocate
Mark spent some time on the wreck to-
day. The former says he has no knowledge
as to when the court will leave Havana.
Chief Engineer Howell Ensign Powelson

RICnuoND, Ky, March 2s.-Near
Clay's Ferry, this county, the parents
of Miss Mary Ellen Bassett decreed
that she should marry Col Green lgo,
who formerly lived a near neighbOr,
but who went to Texas several years
ago, where he accumulated n com fort
able fortune as Il cattle rancher, and
returned recently looking for n Ken
lucky bride. The girl is less than 20,
while the colonel is twice that age.
Their marriage was fixed for las,
Monday, after which they were to
leave ut once for the coloners ranch in
the Lone Star state. But it seems
that Miss Mary, while she treated the
colonel most graciously, out of defer

farm hand, in the employ of Charley

Sunday her trunk and that of Colonel
Igo were packed to leave for Texas

Secretly Miss Mary communicated
with Dozicr, and Sunday night by the
light of the stars, she skipped with
him to Lexington, where they wer,
married next morning. A few hours
later When Col. Igo went to claim his
promised bride he found that she had
