ment:

ton on this continent. We do not
need it We can take care of our own
affairs and it would be a bad precedent
to accept it. Spain by her misgovern-
ment and inhumanity has forfeited all
right of sovereignty and Cuba must he
free.
1.-The Presidents postponement OF
his message until Monday is under
stood to be at Gen. Lees request be-
cause he fears that the Americans in
Cuba will be massacred if the message
goes in before they can get away. All
admit that we must wait for that.
This fear illustrates the conditions in

The New York Herald last week had
an alleged interview with Congress
man Grout in which he was made to
breathe forth vengeance toward Spain
and to favor war at almost any hazard.
In a personal letter, Gen. Grout says:
1.-The statement in the Herald was
not mine, and is gross exaggeration, II
not complete perversion ofmy senti-
ments. My views are embodied in a
bill to raise the battleship Maine, and
a resolution to recognize the independ-
ence of Cuba, introduced on Monday,
and providing for relief for non-com-
batant Cubans to be distributed by our
own agents, so that our bounty should
not be diverted as some now believe is
the case. This. with the dispersal of
the reconcentrados under Blanco's late
order, it seemed to me would fully
meet the necessities of the situation,
and satisfy the American people"

An exact enumeration of United
States war vessels cannot be given,
because the government is buying tor
pedo boats, tugs, yachts, ETC., almost
every day. But using as a basis the
last annual report of the bureau ofcon-
struction of the United States navy,
the total number of all kinds capable
of fighting within a month, not includ-
inc wooden vessels left over from the
civil war, is not more than 75. In the
rs are included five battleships, two
armored cruisers, one ram, six double
turreted monitors, IS old-style moni-
tors. 16 unarmored steel cruisers, 10
or 12 steel gunboats. six torpedo boats.
three vessels belonging to a special
class. one of the Brazilian cruisers,
two or three boats and destroyers
bought abroad and four auxiliary
cruisers of the st. Paul type. OF tugs,
yachts, steamships, ETC., now used by
individuals or corporations, there is a
great number which the government
could use if necessary.
Spain's navy is inferior in battle
ships. and in number of large fighting
vessels. but superior in armorcd cruis-
ers and torpedo boats.

AMERICANS LEAVE HAVANA.
Impressive Scene When Gen. Lee anG
Others Depart.

At 10 O'Clock Saturday Consul Gen
eral Lee, accompanied by British Con
sui Gollan, called on General Blanco tt
bid him goodbye. The governor-gen
eral was very busy and could not re
ceive Gen. Lee.
The American flag upon the consu
late building was taken down and the
archives handed over to the British
consul.
At 5:15 p. m. the government boats
Evelyn, Bache, Olivette and Fern, left
the wharf with the American consuls,
reporters and many refugees. Gen.
Lee was on the Fern, the last boat out,
and gave the final orders.
As the Fern rounded to, heading for
the open sea, she passed near the Maine
wreck. With one accord each man
doffed his hat in salute to the brave
dead, whose silence fell ON all for the
space of several minutes. Gen. Lee
being on board the Fern made that
boat target for redoubled Kisses,
groans, cat calls and whistles from the
crowds on shore. "Get out, Yankees,
swine," was among the mildest express
sions. Consul Springer, who had been
in the island for 80 years, waved his
hand to particularly opprobious
group, saying in tones loud enough for
all to hear: "Wait Wait My friends,
we will all be back soon.n
There was one pretty incident. On
the Cabanas shore British steamer
was unloading at her wharf. As the
Fern passed, the union jack was
dipped, while the English crew gave a
hearty cheer. 1t is needless to say that
the compliment was returned with all
possible gusto.
There was little disorder in Havana,
the populace being stunned and over
come by dismal forebodings.
The fleet arrived at Key West during
the night and Gen. Lee fastened to
Washington.

HOT TIME IN THE HOUSE.
The President Attacked and Defended
by Congressman.

There was scene of great excite
ment in the House Thursday afternoon.
1t was caused by Mr.. Lentz of Ohio,
who made an assault on the admins
tration, charging that the policy of de-
lay was in the interest of stock jobbing
in Wall street. He alleged that Wall
street was in the possession of infor-
nation that the message would not go
in long before it was known at the cap
itol, and profited largely by the adj
vance in the price of stocks which re-
suited. He also said there was no war
rant for the alarming statement about
the situation in Havana which was
made as justification for the delay of
the message.
Mr.. Lentz's speech created pro-
found sensation and was met with an
emphatic reply from Gen. Grosyenor,
now generally regarded as the admin
istration's spokesman on the floor. Mr..
Grosvenor not only Indignantly de-
MED that there was justification for the
reports, but held Mr.. Lentz up to scorn
for alleging corrupt motives against
the president. Mr.. Lentz disclaimed
this, but the irate friend of the presi-
dent gave him no mercy. He was
thoroughly aroused and laid about him
with veritable bludgeon, charging
that the Democrats were seeking po-
litical advantage. and paying his re-
spects to John j. McCook and others.
Before he concluded he expressed the
opinion that war was as certain as that
we would live until this week, unless
it was averted by Spain.

SPAIN YIELDS EVERYTHING BUT

Peaceful Outcome Still Improbable European
Northumberland --AmericansAIl Out of Havana.
Exciting Days in Congress. Points of Interest
in the Crisis

Spain is trying to play shrewd
game. At the eleventh hour she is of.
fering an armistice to the Cubans. She
does not say that it is the prelude ia
peace on a basis of independence fol
the island-which is the only thing the
Cubans viii accept. She well knows
the Cubans will keep right on fighting
until that is gained and that her troops
will find it necessary to defend them.
selves. The armistice is simply OH
paper.
The offer is made simply to draw all
of Uncle SANS fangs possible. Spain
wants to put him in hole before the
world. She knows that only immediate
peace in Cuba will satisfy him. She
offers everything but the only thing
that will make peace possible-inde-
pendence. 1t is possible her position
may thus be strengthened in Europe,
but all who understand will readily see
through the subterfuge.
The Spanish minister gave official
notice to the state department Sunday,
stating that the armisticc which the
queen regent of Spain had commanded
Gen. Blanco to proclaim was without
conditions; that her majesty's govern
ment had granted liberal institutions
to the island of Cuba which the COM
inc Cuban Parliament would develop;
recalling the coincidence and sympathy
expressed by the queen egent and her
government on the disaster of the
Maine and the horror this disaster had
oscasioned in Spanish hearts, and APP
pealing to the courtesy and sense of
justice of the United States govern
ment to enlighten public opinion up
on the attitude of Spain. The note
also repeats the offer of the Spanish
government to submit the Maine
question to experts designated by the
maritime powers of the world.
The armistice is already in force.
Spanish troops are not attacking the
insurgents. They are waiting to see
what turn events will take.
The general opinion is that this lat
est move will have no effect on this
government.

he went away he left behind him wife
and several children. Recently the wo-
man has been the source of considerable

best to send her and family to San Jose,
where she has relatives, SO the supervisors
voted the sum of $i5 to defray the eX-
peuse of sending the woman and her fam
lily to that city.
