M'KENNA CONFIRMED.

Washington, January 21.-The Senate
devoted its principal attention in legisla-
tive session today to the nomination of
Attorney General McKenna to be a Justice
of the Supreme court of the United
States When the doors were closed the
Hawaiian treaty was laid aside in order
to afford opportunity to consider the Nc
Kenna nomination and other nominal
tions.
Senator Allen took the floor in continu-
anee of his attack upon the Attorney
General. He commended that MIR. Nc
Kenna was not competent to discharge
the duties of Justice of the Supreme
bench. He read the charges filed with the
committee on Judiciary. The documents
comprised large number of letters and
the protests of lawyers and judges Of the
Pacific coast charging that McKenna was
untitled for the office on the ground OF q
want of legal attachments. He was inter
rupted by Senator Perkins of California,
who read published defence of Judge
McKenna, giving statistics to show that
he had not as judge of the California
federal court, been more frequently
reversed by superior tribunals than had
other Judges of the same rank. Mr..
Allen spoke for three hours. He was COD
WINGED of Mr. McKenna's unfitness for the
office, he said. He did not insist upon a
roll call when the vote was taken and the
vote was overwhelmingly favorable to
confirmation.

garding the conspiracy to blow up the

of the testimony expected from him

General Lee is to supply the missing

information is that Captain Sigsbee is

feel at liberty to give them until the
person who gave them to him releases
him from the secrecy imposed. That
person, | understand, is General Lee.
1t is said the information General
Lee is expected to testify to relates to
the -tinguishment of the electric
lights in Havana at the instant of the
blowing up of the Maine. Electrical
experts have said that if the lights
went out in Havana at the time of the
explosion it would be conclusive evil
dence that the mine under the Maine
must have been fired from a shore

REGARDED AS IMPERATIVE.


REGARDED AS IMPERATIVE
The letter was unofficial and addressed
personally to Senior Gullon. but the Span
ish cabinet according to these advices,
as diplomates, believed that it was to be
construed as none the less official and
to some extent an ultimatum. Mr.. Wood
ford subsequently withdrew the note,
stating that at the time it was written
he was not aware that President Mckln-
ley's message had been deferred.
Personal enmity was engendered by the
note, however, and it is said to have con-
tinued. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of
the note.
The Spanish minister. Senior Polo mas
received no orders of any kind relating to
his withdrawal from Washington, ana
this to some extent indicates that Madrid
has not vet anticipated final break be-
tween the two countries. In the event OF
a break, however. little delay would be
necessary in making the arrangements
for the withdrawal of the Spanish minis
ter and his staff.
1t is probable in case of the WITHDRAWAL
of the minister that the French ambas-
sador, M. Cambon, will act temporarily
in behalf of Spain. The minister's recent
interview, given by the Associated Press,
has now become official document,
having been cabled by Senior Polo to the
foreign office al Madrid as an indication
of his views. II was accompanied by an
expression Of satisfaction at the accuracy
with which his views had been presented.
The minister has also taken occasion 10

there is no truth in the reports circulated
here of serious indignities to the Spanish
legation or to himself. While there has
been some petty annoyance, it has come
