WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Spanish
minister Senor Polo to-day closed a char
ter for an American steamer Of the Plant
llne which will carry practically the entire
spanish colony of Tampa Fla. to Havana

ties the steamer would be cleared from

lowed to return to an American port The
Spanish party will number 40S most of
them being young men who have offered
their services in the Spanish army in case
of war. Some women and children are in
cluded, as they are part of the colony
making the move. 1t is said also that the
hostility to Spanish residents in that local
ity has become marked of late The consul
and vice consul, with two assistants, will
remain at Tampa This is the point at
which seven regiments of infantry have
been ordered to mobilize within the next
few days, although there is no intimation
that the departure of the Spanish colony
is due to the concentration of United States
troops at Tampa.
The Spanish minister had comparatively
quiet Sunday, finding time to take a drive

Senor Polo received number OF dispatches
from Madrid. but they developed no new
phases of the question and did not bear out
the reports that Spain would seek the good

House resolutions become law No Off

to the reported negotiations with General
Gomez towards his surrender, although
there is no disposition to discredit the re-
port.

Puerto Principe will accept the armstiee.
If received, the commission will indicate
neutral zone and propose conditions and
place of meeting. Senors Juan Ramirez and
Silvestre Anclada, prominent autonomists
and members of the central committee, have
been appointed by the committee with the
same end in view. They left this morning
for Santa Cruz del Sur, where they will use
their influence in the name of the autono-
mist party, but independent of the parlia-
mentary commission. There are great ex-
pectatons as TO the result, which is anx-
iously awaited.
At 10 O'Clock this morning General Blance
had conference with the president and
secretary of the Commercial Chamber
Shortly after the action of the American
Senate began to be freely reported about
ihe city,, with reference to the commercial
interests involved and with relation of the
port to the existing circumstances. Author
tiles of all classes called at the palace. and
General Blanco conferred with the chiefs
of the political parties.
El Correo says: 'In these solemn mo-
ments for the country. a nation in whose
history q most glorious page is to be writ

maintain ourselves in serenity ana calm till

also says that there is great enthusiasm in
naval and military circles since the news
from Washington was received. The extras
published this evening, containing reports
of the action of the American Senate yes
terday, were greedily snapped up at high
prices.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April lin diplomatic
circles great significance is attached to an
unconfirmed report that Governor General
Blanco has undertaken journey for the
purpose of personally negotiating with
General Gomez, the insurgent leader. Gen
eral Gomez has an unpleasant habit of
shooting Spanish emissaries who try to dis
cuss projects for termination of hostilities
on any other basis than the independence of
Cuba. From this and other circumstances
the conclusion is jumped at that General
Blanco goes to deal with the insurgent
chieftain on terms acceptable to him, name
ly. the surrender to him of everything the
United States has demanded or could
achieve by Intervention. BY adopting this
course the Spaniards would be ir a position
to say they have not been coerced by the
United States and have outwitted the
Yankee pigs" as by our own acts we have
practically debarred ourselves from going
to war over the Maine. This great interna-
tional joke on Uncle Sam would be partial
salve for the hurt to Spanish pride occa-
stoned by the surrender of Cuba to the in
surgents The Cortes will convene in
extraordinary session on Wednesday, and
will be ready to ratify the Blanco-Gomez
deal if one should have been undertaken.
Such consummation, while entirely unex-
pected, could be stamped as an extraor-
binary and in every way satisfactory
triumph of American bluff and American
that light, however, by those who have
been wanting to go to war over the Maine
explosion.

LONDON, April 1S.-The Daily Nails
Madrid correspondent says: "In official cir
cles it is said that the Cuban rebels are
waiting for the outcome OF affairs in the
United States before deciding on a line of
conduct. If America decides to recognize
the independence of Cuba they will carry
on the campaign with greater vigor than
before. If. on the other hand, armed inter-
vention is only to be recommended, with the
prospect of possible annexation to follow,
there will be such a feeling of disgust among
them that they will prefer pacific solution
of the trouble by means of promise of a
fuller measure of autonomy. Nothing is Off
cially known here yet of the appointment
by the Cuban colonial government of any
commission to negotiate with the insur-
gents. Very satisfactory statements were
made yesterday at the Cabinet council as 10
military preparations made In view of the
present crisis"

No Hostility mt Tnn.p..

TAMPA, Fla, April 1.-THE reported hos.
tility toward the Spanish residents in this;
city has absolutely no foundation. The peo-
pie of this city have been even more than
ordinarily friendly toward the Spanish resi-
dents during the continuance of the strained
relations. They have thus assured the Span
ish colony that whatever is said by the
press or the people IS in no way intended
for them as individuals. but is directed
against the policy of the Spanish govern
mcnt solely. Some time ago the City Coun-
Gil met and passed resolutions, i'm which
were set forth assurances of protection for
their lives and property. The Spanish resi-
dents of Tampa are peaceful and thrifty,
and are looked upon with much esteem by
the entire community.
