Washington correspondence:
At noon Monday the findings of the ma.
val board of inquiry as to the cause of the
explosions that wrecked the Maine
were sent to Congress by President Nc
Kinley. In anticipation of the report be-
ing presented, the largest crowd which
has attended session of Congress in
years was at the capitol. Not one-tenth
of the people who stormed the doors were
able to gain admission. The members OF
the House awaited the report with the
same feversh anxiety manifested by the
public, and there was scarcely a vacant
seat on the floor.

airy Elections.
The Spanish parliamentary elections
that were held Sunday went by large
majority in favor of the Liberals, the par
ty now in power. Very little interest was
manifested in Madrid and the polling
booths were almost deserted. Most all
the candidates elected there are Liberals.
Riots are reported from many places,
troubles being fomented by the socialists.
This was especially the case in the prov
jnces of Biscay, Navarro, Catalonia and
Valencia. At Durango, in the province
of Riscay. one man was killed. 1t is esti-
mated that the Government won 300 of

Spain Will Refuse to Consider a Claim
for Damages.
A Madrid cablegram asserts that Spain
has decided she will not accept a cash con-
sderation to relinquish her claims on
Cuba, nor will she permit the President
of the United States to carry out his plan
of so-called friendly Intervention. This
decision has been communicated to the
representative of the United States. Min
ister Woodford was also informed that
Spain would not consider any claim for in
demnity for the destruction of the battle
ship Maine in Havana harbor. Any de-
mand COR damages would be regarded as
derogatory to Spanish honor and dignity.
This practically closes the correspondence
between the two governments. Nothing
remains but for the United States to de-
eide whether she will take step which
will be resented by Spain.

into account, there is but little doubt
that the human race existed ON this
continent as long ago as the time when
the silver veins were in process of
formation. In the Rocky Point mine,
in Gilman, 400 feet below the surface
a number of human bones were found
imbedded in the silver-bearing ore.
When taken out over S100 worth of sill

President Mckinley Asks for Authority to
Establish Stable Government
in Cuba.

Al OuDAs
Washington. April 1.-THE galleries
were crowded when the presidents mes
sage was given the reading clerk few
minutes after noon.
The president IN his message asks con-
gress to authorize and empower him to
secure full and immediate termination
of hostilities between the governments
of Spain and Cuba; to secure the estab-
lishment of stable government in Cuba.
capable of maintaining its International
obligations and insuring peace and Sc
curity of Its own citizens as we'll as our
own, and to use the military and naval
forces of the United States for this pur.
pose.
The president dwells at length on the
prevailing conditions in Cuba. the assassi-
nation Of Senior Canovas and those ele-
ments of danger and disorder already
pointed out. and SO strongly illustrated
by the event which so deeply and so
justly moved the American people. He
said that he had already submitted the
report of yhe naval board of inquiry on
the destruction of the Maine. The board,
which has the greatest confidence of the
American people, was unanimous IN its
verdict that the Maine was blown up by
submarine mine, but does not attempt
to place the responsibility. That re
mains to be fixed. In any event, the des-
truction of the Maine, by whatever ex-
ternal cause, shows state OF things in
Cuba that is intolerable. He adds that
this conclusively shows that the Spanish
government cannot assure the safety of
an American warsh,p in Havana harbor
on mission of peace.
He said that on the 10th ultimo, Min.
lister Woodford was told by the Spanish
minister of foreign affairs that Spain will
do all that the highest justice and honor
demands in the matter OF the Maine dis
aster. In another statement on the SUBJ
ject, Minister Woodford was informed
of the readiness of Spain to refer to ar
bitration any differences that might
arise in regard to the matter.
Concluding Mr.. Mckinley said: "The
issue is now with congress. 1t is solemn
responsibility. have expended every
effort to relieve the intolerable condition
of affairs at our doors"
The message was referred to the COM
mittee of foreign affairs.

NEW FACTOR IN AFFAIRS.
Our Advent in the Worlds Politics Is
 Recognized.

New York, July 1.-The following cable to the Sun from London fairly estimates the general opinion held abroad as to the status of the United States as a power in the affairs of the world:
 The old world has realized that all it's plots for rearranging the political destinies of mankind have been ren- dered futile by the advent of the new world as an active participant in the game of making history. Perhaps the shrewder observers in St. Petersburs realized sooner that America was al- ready factor in the situation as great as any, despite her apparently limited sea power. But it needed the smash ing victory of Admiral Sampson fleet to demonstrate to France and
