seorot Session.
WASHINGTON April 20-War and
war measures were the only topics dis
cussed by the senate yesterday during
more than four hours OF its session. The
body had scarcely convened when the
message Of the president urging con-
gress 10 declare the existence Of war
between the United States and Spain
was laid before II. Without comment
the message was referred to the foreign
relations committees.
Consideration Of the naval approprla-
ton bill was resumed, the pending
question being upon an amendment OF
Mr.. Butler (Pop. ~ c. 70 reduce the
price of arnor plate or as an alterna-
tive to establish an armor factory After
a long and bitter debate, In the course
Of which Mr.. Butler was accused by Mr..
hawley Comm OF making what under
the circumstances would be regarded as
treasonable utterances, the amendment
was defeated. An amendment OF great
Importance was attached TO the bin al
the last minute by Mr.. Hale. chairman
OF the naval affairs committee. II au-
thorizes the secretary OF the navy to
enlist as many men as he may deem
necessary to man the ships of the navy
during the existence OF the war and ap-
propriates IS. 900 to enable him TO
carry the amendment into effect. The
naval bill was then passed.

ported to the senate with some amend
ments by Mr. Hawley of the military
anairs committee and passed within 20
minutes. IL was not completed, how
ever, as the house nonconcurred In the

! ference. At 3 o'clock the senate went
INTO secret legislative session and passed
the bill Of the house declaring the ex-
istence of war between the United
States and Spain. Subsequently brief
open session was held, during which

SPANS MEMORANDUM.
Contents of Her Recent Note Issued to
the Powers.


LONDON, April 26-The Times this
morningpublishes Spain's memorandum
TO the powers, dated April IS and sign
ed by Senior Gullon, the Spanish minis
ter of foreign affairs.
The memorandum begins by recording
the moral and material aid the Cuban
rebels have received from the United
States" In filihustering expeditions and
the operations of the junta. 1t mentions
spain's repeated and positive denials to
the allegations OF cruelty toward the
Cubans and lays great stress upon Pres
ident Cleveland's dispatch of Dec 7,
1896, TO the effect that peace would be
possible II Spain. gave a sufficient au-
tonomy to Cuba
The memorandum contends that in
the face Of the new liberal constitu-
tion granted Cuba, which has already
borne fruit" it is difficult to under
stand why President Mckinley in his
message Of Dec. g. 1897, and General
Woodford In the note of Dec. 20, 1897.
should still doubt Spain's loyalty. The
document then speaks at some length
or the Maine accident" and asserts
that the Americans, under pretext of the
extra territoriality of the vessel, never
ailoWed the Spanish authorities to visit
the wreck for purposes OF investigation.
ana II most solemniy asserts the abso-
lutte innocence Of Spanish officials and
oE spanish subjects generally.

there were three Eagle boys and a
brother-in-law named Bob Daughtrev
in the attacking party and that they
took their enemies at a Disadvantage
and shot them down without a chance
TO defend themselves. There is great
excitement, and it is feared that friends
of the BODIES will try to avenge the
murders. All concerned are prominent.
The Eagles were closely related to ex-
Governor j. p. Eagle. and w. X. Booie
was an ex-member Of the Arkansas leg
islature, his family being one of the
oldest in the state. The Eagles are well
known in Lonoke county, and their fac
ton has dominated local politics for
years. The feud is Of long standing and
grew out Of a political clash between
members of the two families The
BODIES and Eagles have figured in sew
eral tragedies growing out of their feud.
