ceives an Energetic Reply.
London, March 2S.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Daily Mail gives a
version of the negotiations between
United States Minister Woodford and
the Spanish cabinet last week, differ
ing somewhat from that given yester-
day by the Standards Madrid corre-
spondent. He says: "The note which
General Woodford presented on We'd
nesday was of a comminatory nature.
1t demanded that Spain put an end to
the war in Cuba Immediately, recapitu-
lating the damage done to American
interests and further limiting that the
war was a danger to the public health
of the United States, the continual
smuggling between the coasts of Cuba
and Florida being the means of con-
veying the yellow jack.
"Spain's reply was energetic. 1t de-
clared that the war would have been
ended long ago but for the material
and moral help and support the rebels
were continually receiving from the
United States. The Spanish note COM
planned of the policy followed by the
United States in demanding from Spain
the termination of war which the
United States was virtually maintain
ing by the presence of a squadron in
the neighborhood of Cuba. Public
opinion rejects all idea of yielding and
apparently neither desires nor fears
war with the United States. Yet Spain
knows that she is confronted with the
most serious conflict she has had to
face since the Napoleonfc wars. There
is an oninous absence of excitement
among the people, whose one topic is
the possibility Of war. 1t is the calm
before the storm which will break when
the American ultimatum comes"
Madrid, March 2S-Midnight-Uni
States Minister Woodford had an inn
portant conference this evening with
Senior Gullon, the foreign minister, and
the report from the American board of
inquiry into the Maine disaster. To-
morrow General Woodford will confer
with Premier Senor Sagasta and Sc
nors Gullon and Merritt, the foreign
and colonial ministers. The latest cleo
ton returns show that 1872 ministerial
lists, 46 conservatives, Z Romeristas, Is
republicans and Carlists have been
elected. Advices from Havana show
that four autonomists and two conser-
vatives have been returned.

SPANISH COURTS REPORT
SYNOPSIS CABLED FROM HAY4N4
20 WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT.

The Conclusions Reached Are DIreotIv
opposite to Those in the Report of the
United States Court of Inquiry-It Main
tains That All the Rents and Breals
We're Outward-No Dead Fish,
Washington, March 2S.-A full synop-
sis of the report of the Spanish naval
commission which investigated the de-
struction Of the battleship is here Civ
en- by the Associated Press. 1t is TAX
en- from copy of the original report
which is now on it's way here from Ha-
vana, the synopsis being cabled in the
meantime and to-day placed in the
hands of this government. The con-
clusions reached are directly opposite
to those in the report Of the court OF
inquiry submitted to congress to-day.
The synopsis is as follows:
The report contains declarations
made by occular witnesses and experts.
From these statements it clearly de-
duces and proves the absence Of all
those attendant circumstances which
are invariably present on the occasion
of the explosion of a torpedo.
THE evidence of witnesses Compare
lively close to the Maine at the mo-
ment is to the effect that only one ex-
plosion occurred; that no column Of
water was thrown in the air. that "a
shock to the side of the nearest vessel
was felt, nor on land was any vibra-
tion noticed and that no dead fish were
found.
THE evidence of the senior pilot of
the harbor states that there Is abund-
ance of fish in the harbor and this Is
corroborated by other witnesses. The
assistant engineer of works states that
| after explosions made during the exc
cution of works In the harbor he has
always found dead fish
The divers were unable to examine
the bottom of the Maine which was
buried in the mud, but careful exam
ination of the sides Of the vessel, the
rents and breaks which al point
outward, shows without a doubt that
the explosion was from the inside
| "a minute examination of the har-
Dor around the vessel shows absolutely
no sign of the action Of a torpedo and
the Judge advocate Of the commission
| Celu llIlu uO pIGCGueut IOF the explosion
of the storage magazine Of a vessel BY
a torpedo.
''The report makes clear that owing
to the special nature Of the proceedings
following and the absolute respect
shown from the extra territoriality Of
the Maine the commission has been pre-.
vented from making such an examin-
alton Of the inside fthe vessel that
would determine even the hypothesis of
! the internal conditions. This is to be at-I
tributed to the regrettable refusal to
permit the necessary cooperation Of
the Spanish commission both with the
commander and crew of the Maine
and the different American officers
commissioned to investigate the cause
of the accident and later on with those
employed in salvage work.
"The report finishes by stating that
an examination Of the inside and out
side Of the Maine as soon as such ex-
animation may be possible, as also Of
the bottom where the vessel rests, will
prove that supposing the remains Of
the wreck are not totally or partially
altered in the process of extraction, the
explosion was undoubtedly due to
some interior cause"

MAY OBJECT TO FURTHER DELAY.
Trouble Looked For If Next Message Is Not
More Definite.

Washington, March 28.-A number Of
senators and representatives of both
parties conferred with the president at
the White house tonight. 1t is said
that the opinion expressed by most Of
those who talked with Mr.. Mckinley
was that congress was inclined to OBJ
ject to further delay in settlement
of the Spanish situation, and that, un-
less the next message was more defin-
ite, the radical members could not be
held in check. At the meeting of the
senate committee on foreign relations
on Wednesday Senator Frye will move
that the committee remain in continu-
Gus session until the questions relating
to the Maine, Cuba and Spain are set
tied. Mr.. Foraker will introduce to-
morrow resolution recognizing the in
dependence Of Cuba.

OUR NEW CARRIER SYSTEM
The Daily Leader Routes Sold
10 the Carriers.

The entire city circulation OF The
DAILY LEADEB has been sold TO the
delivery boys, and city papers will be
handled exclusively by them. The
boys buy the papers as they come
from the press, sell them and
make collections. Subscribers can
get the paper only through
the boys on their route
This makes it necessary to cut off the
few complimentary papers we have
and we hope that our friends who are
thus dropped from the present deliv-
cry system appreciate the circum-
stances and will accommodate them
selves TO the same by giving their sub.
scriptions 10 the carrier boys who
have purchased their routes. The
price for the daily will be raised TO
our former rate of so cents per month
and collections will be made every
two weeks The first collection
day will be Saturday, May a.
The slight advance is made
necessary by the improved service we
have inaugurated. We are making
arrangements to still further improve
The LEADER by increasing the news
service.
The carriers will make a canvass OF
the city this week. If you are rot on
the list, and want the very latest news

More than month ago The LEADER
said editorially that nothing less than
fifty thousand troops landed in Cuba
TO invest Havana from the land side
while the United States fleet Invested
it from the sea side, could accomplish
anything toward the freedom OF the
island from the Spanish forces. This
opinion was uttered at time when
others were insisting that five or ten
thousand land forces would be sufii.
cient TO do this. Now it appears that
we were not wholly wrong in our con-
tention, and the government will land
even larger number of troops than
City thousand on the island.
Experience in the preparation for
war has taught nations that the
cheapest and easiest way to end a war
is TO place an ample force in the field
at once, aud in this war with Spain
events will show tha. that policy
could have been followed with great
and lasting results to the arms OF the
United States.
The same may be said Of the Philip
pine islands. Eleven thousand men
landed there would be wholly made.
quate Manila alone has population
of nearly quarter OF million, while
on the islands there are about nine
millions OF people, majority Of
whom, il must be conceded, are loyal
to the Spanish crown, and to hold the
islands subject to the government OF
the United States with this handful OF
American troops, it would seem, is
preposterous. Taking also into con
sideration the fact that Manila is more
than six thousand miles from the near
est point OF our base OF supplies the
fact OF sending eleven thousand troops
there seems the sheerest nonsense and
a short-sightedness wholly unjusti6a-

GOrernor Bdrnos' Proclamation ia Honor
Of ne Nations Fallen.


Gorernor Bdrnos' Proclamation in Honor
Of ne Nations Fduen.
A grateful nation in commemoration
OF deeds OF heroism and sacrifice has
by law and custom set apart one day
IN the year as sacred to the memory
Of our patriotic dead.
Again that day approaches us and,
as for the first time since the inaugu-
ration Of that beautiful custom, we
find our country engaged in war and
our army and navy battling for the
right and liberty OF the oppressed, it
ia but fitting that the day be observed
in manner more general and spirit
more reverent than any one previ Gus
occasion, not only keeping alive with
in ourselves the deeds OF valor of the
departed heroes OF the republic, but
implanting within the minds Of the
young a full appreciation Of the sac
r6ces and services of the men we
honor and arousing in the heart OF
every Americas citizen the true spirit
of patriotism, that our rulers may be
sustained, our armies augmented by
our best and bravest men, and our ma
tion stand always united TO meet the
enemy and conquer in the name Of
justice and humanity.
Now, therefore, /, Q NJ. Barnes,
governor OF the territory OF Oklahoma,
do recommend that upon the 3Oth day
OF May the people OF the territory,
with one accord, lay aside their usual
/ u.rAaaff.,a N o., Ill
unnecessary labor and all public
amusements, join with the survivors
of the Grand Army of the Republic in
the observation Of day whose exer-
cises teach the highest example OF hui
man love, commemorating as they do
the deeds of men who gave their lives
that others might be free
And let us on this day not only pay
tribute to the memory OF the departed
ones in song and oratory and wreath
and garland Of sweetest flowers, hut
have thought and care for the heroes
who survive and are still among us,
and, Assem- bled in places OF worship,
in public gatherings and about the last
resting places Of the dead, let one and
all bear in mind the heroes who are
today in tented field, on wea isome
march, aboard the ships Of the sea and
| perchance in the carnage OF actual
battle-fathers, husbands, brothers
and sons, who have gone forth from
the homes and tresides from our own
fair Territory and from every nook
and corner OF the nation TO endure the
hardships OF war, to brave privation
and disease and 10 face the leaden
hail OF battle-men brave and true,
who have offered up themselves that
others may enjoy the God given lib
erty which they themselves SO highly
| cherish.
Let them be remembered in prayer
and supplication 20 the God Of right
and justice and liberty that their
lives may be spar ed, that victory may
crown their efforts and the sunlight OF
liberty be let in upon the oppressed OF
all the earth.

TO ENJOIN ALVA NORMAL.

II is now almost certain that pro-
cccdings In injunction will be brought
this week before Chief Justice Bur.
ford ITO prevent the erection OF the
Northwest normal school at Alva. II
is said that the grounds for eujoining
the work will be ia part that the leg
islature OF is01 was told that no
money would be asked for the erection
of any buildings, the only amounts
that would be required would be for
books. apparatus and the maintenance
OF the school
The petitioners will further say tha {
the territorial indebtednes is now
above that allowed by the United
States statutes and was Sc at the time
of and since the passage ii the bill,
and also that no plans or specifications
are attached TO the contract on file in
the auditors office, and that the Rock
Island, H., people who were awarded
the work at Ss7 300 have not an ade-
quatc bond up so as 60 compel them TO
follow the specilications.
Again IL would be pointed out that
an oklahoma contractor had presented
bid for this work thai was nearly
SEQ, 600 less than the one accepted.
Also that the present contract does
not call FOR fully equipped building
ready for the use and occupancy OF
pupils
1t was the intention OF the contest
ants TO begin this action last week,
but thev did not have time TO secure
the necessary names TO the petition
There is no doubt IL the action is
brought that il will be hot fight from

deadly earnest.

for the writ reside at Oklahoma City
