The anthracite coal trade does not show
much change. A little more ordering OF
coal for New England points and some move
ment westward were the chief features OF
the trade. The prospect Of war caused
various eastern consumers to buy coal, in
order that it could be forwarded by water
before there was risk Of hostilitiSs interfcr-
ing with shipments. 1t was reasoned, how
ever, by most Boston dealers that war would
not make much advance in prices, as all rail
shipment was feasible and the cost would
not be much greater than by vessels The
tidewater prices are still shaded goods cents,
notwithstanding the reduction of 25 cent,
per ton in the circular rates. The outlook i,
gloomy and dealers, being confident OF
further reductions in prices, still keep to the
hand-to-mouth principle in ordering, so that
they are reducing orders to the lowest limit

CUBA INDEPENDENCE
The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Reports in Favor
of Immediate intervention
and Independent Govern
ment for Cubans--Minority
Report Submitted.
WASHINGTON, April 13.

" fA''ii%'H'N-'i %AB''i i''
Yesterday was one of much anxiety
at the national capital, and this morn
ing dawned with little change. The
President, Congress and the nation
awaits the result of the deliberations
of the Senate and House committees
on Foreign Affairs. The Republicans
have worked diligently to secure the
adoption of resolution by both com
mittees that will command the full
party vote when reported, and at this
writing it lnolso like tlIey have sue
ceeded. Both the peace advocates
and those favoring immediate action
have granted concessions to accom-
plish that end. The resolution re-
ported, unless changes are made in
the meantime, will be the original
Foraker resolution with slight altera-
tions.
The Democratic members Of Con
gress were not long in adopting a
plan of action, because their course
is directed primarily for political eff
feet. Their resolution provides for
recognition of Cuban independence,
the employment of our army and
navy in aiding the republic of Cuba
in maintaining the independence
hereby recognized, and appropriating
81, 900, 900 for relief of the starving.
Gen. Lees testimony, however,
changed their program. He strongly
advised against the reorganization of
the present Cuban government, and
in accordance with his suggestion
that feature will be omitted from the
Democratic demand. This brings
them so closely to the position of the
Republicans that they will likely
support the report of the Foreign
| Affairs Committee.
Gen. Woodford is still at his post in
Madrid, and will remain there unless
actual hostilities begin. Advices
from that point say that Spain will
not tolerate intervention on the part
of the United States in Cuba. The
Liberal ~ the organ of Sagasta, says
that "were Spain to admit the Ameri-
can claim of a right to intervene she
would Immediately sink to a position
of ignominious tutelage,"
Taking a calm view of the situation
in Washington, in connection with
the feeling at Madrid, there is de-
cided war feeling growing.

CRISIS IN SPAIN.
A Civil War Soon If There is no War With
the United States.

New York, April ia cable despatch, un-
der signature, to the Sun says it is not prob
able that either President Mckinley or the
American Congress will be allowed to decide
the issue of peace or war, unless they decide
within a weak.
The feeling at Madrid is such that neither
Prime Minister Sagasta nor the Queen Regent
herself any longer has the power to concede
the demands Of the American government,
or even to execute the concessions already
granted, although they both are determined
to yield to President Mckinley S demands, as
far as Spanish sentiment will permit,
The populace at Madrid has rebelled

SpAIN'S CABINET ISSUES A MANIFESTO |
The Spanish Cabinet Says will Not Tolerate the Inerven

Active War Preparations

against the armistice. The only chance the
Sagasty Ministry has for prolonging its ex-
istence is to reverse its policy and adopt an
aggressive attitude towards the United
States. This will be done
The Madrid correspondent adds There
will be a civil war here within month if
there is not war with the United States. The
Sagasta Ministry will soon 90 when the
people learn how they have been deceived in
every step Of the recent negotiations, includ.
ing Saturdays announcement of an armis-
tice, when the Government gave out that it
was for five days only, with onerous condi-
tions imposed on the United States.
There will be a serious uprising of the
army which will be useless against mob.
The troops would join the rioters, as the
Government well knows. Weylor is gaining
fresh influence with the army which he will
not hesitate to turn against the present Gov.

Special to EVENING HERALD.
Madrid, April 13,-As a result of long
and important Cabinet meeting the Spanish
war officials are actively engaged in fortify-
ing and manning the Mediterranean islands

Kingdom in a state of defense.

erGments position and refuses to acknowl-

fere in Cuba. This announcement was re-
ceiyed with much demonstration of approval
ON the part of the war officials.
When the Ministers adjourned, an official
note was issued setting forth that the Cabi-
net had granted extraordinary credit for
war purposes.
