 q mean the Spanish officials" Ae replied, "but not General Blanco. l think some of the officials were cog nizant of the plans to destroy the vessel, but I do not believe that the Captain-General was"
 The most important feature of Con- sul-General Lees statement was hls de- claration that in his opinion the people of Cuba had not yet succeeded in es- tablishing and maintaining such gov ernment as would be entitled to recog- nition as an independent state. On this point he was thoroughly in accord with the President While he is not in ia vor of recognizing the so-called gov ernment at this time, he Believes that the Cubans are capable of self-govern- ment and that if the United States shall intervene and drive out the Spaniards a government can be established and maintained which will be stable and would be. entitled to recognition as a member of the family of nations.
 Consul-General Lee is to appear to- morrow before the Naval Strategic Board to discuss the defenses of Ha- vana and other Cuban seaports, the To cation of mines, the best points of at tack that should be made and the plan of campaign after the troops have been landeo.
 There is nothing in the diplomatic situation to afford any cheering hope for peace.
 If Spain is making any progress in. her negotiations for an armistice with the Cubans the administration authori- ties have not heard of 1t, nor are there any new developments, as far as can be ascertaihed, regarding the secret nego- tiations for the purchase of Cuba. For the time being Congress alone controls the situation. Anticipating that Con- gress will act sooner or later, the ad- miniStration is still going ahead with its preparations for carrying out the forcible intervention programme
 There were significant conferences be- tween the President and General Scho- field this morning in regard to plans for calling cut the militia, and again this evening between the President and As sistant-Secretary of the Navy Roose- welt as to the naval part of the demon stratio Il.

emerged, accompanied by Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secretary Day. The three entered a carriage and were quickly driven to the White House. General Lee got another ovation on his way over.
 At the White House the party was shown at once to the library, where the executive accorded hearty reception to the Consul-General. The only per- sons present at the meeting were the President, Secretary Sherman, Judge Day and General Lee. Secretary Sher- man remained with the others about an hour and then returned to the State Department. After being with the President fully an hour Judge Day and General Lee took their departure, the latter going to his hotel. An immense crowd, augmented by the number of ladies who attended Mrs. McKinley's reception, was on the portico when the two came down stairs and General Lee was given a tremendous ovation. AS their carriage was being driven away some one fastened Cuban flag to the front of the vehicle and this was the cause of additional enthusiasm.
 The ovation that has followed Gen. eral Lee since he set foot on American soil eliminated tonight in what was in many ways one of the most remarkable demonstrations the city has ever seen. The demonstration was almost as quick and unpremeditated as that which greeted General Lee at the depot and at the State Department. The Marine Band had been engaged from the bar racks, and the Seventy-first Regiment Band, under the leadership of Professor Fanciulli, formerly conductor of the Marine Band, came over from New York on an afternoon train. The crowd assembled without calling, and by s o'clock was 5000 strong in the streets about the Shoreham Hotel, where Gen. eral Lee was Quartered. Before the close 1t was twice that size. It was af- ter o'clock before he appeared on one of the small corner balconies, accom- panied by a committee of the Union Veteran Legion and the Confederate Veterans Association, which was joint ly in charge of the affair.
 The bands struck up 'The Star Span gled Banner" and there was burst of fireworks from the neighboring houses, while mounds of red, white and blue lights famed at intervals along the street, throwing the crowd on the bal cony into sharp relief against back ground of flags. The crowd yelled itself hoarse, calling for General Lee by name and demanding speech. The speech was brief, and so much broken by applause that the crowd caught very little more than its general drift. General Lee said:
 After all the speeches I have been forced to make in the past two days ! can hardly hope to make myself heard over this great gathering. can only as- sure you that such great demonstra- tion seems to me out of all proportion to the simple fact of my humble presence here, and I am frank to say don't see that I deserve it, having only tried to do my duty as an American where circum- stances placed me.
 The crowd broke out afresh, and there were yells, That's it. That's what you did General Lee continued:
 I have to thank you most heartily for

TRIO OF WAR
 RESOLUTIONS Senator Lindsay Favors Concerted Action With General Gomez. Armed Intervention Advocated by Wilson of Wash
 ingtOn. Allen of Nebraska Recognizes State of War Between Spain
 and America.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,


 Washington, April 12.
 Three Senators-Lindsay of Ken- lucky, Wilson of Washington and AL len of Nebraska-offered resolutions to-day in behalf of the Cubans. Fol- lowing is the full text of Senator Lind- says joint resolution, which he himself asked might be temporarily laid on the table:
 1. That the contemplated military ops erations against the Spanish armies on the island of Cuba should be carried on in concert with the military forces under the command of General Maximo Gomez; such concert to be secured through ar engagements between this Government and the Cuban revolutionary authorizes rec ognized by said Gomez, and that any offer looking to such arrangements that may be made by thoSe authorities should be favorahly considered, provided II snail concede to the commanding officer of the United States the right to control and direct all military operations
 2. That all such military operations should be carried on to the end that the independence of the Cuban people may be secured.
 The joint resolution of Mir. Wilson of Washington was as follows:
 Whereas, The conditions which for three years past have prevailed and are now prevailing in the island of Cuba have become intolerable to the people of the United States; therefore, be 1t
 Resolved That the President of the United States is empowered and directed to take at once such steps as may be necessary to put an end to hostilities in the island of Cuba and to secure to tha inhabitants of that island stable and independent republican form of govern ment and the President of the United States is empowered and directed to use, if necessary, the land and naval forces of the United States to make this joint resolution effective.
 At MT Wilson's request the resolu- tion was referred to the Foreign Rela- tions Committee.
 Following this came the resolution of MT. Allen of Nebraska, which was as follows:
 Resolved, That a state of war exists between the United States of America and the kingdom of Spain, and that the political existence and national independ- ence of the repubac of Cuba now and for some time maintained by force of arps Is hereby recognized; that the President is empowered and directed to take at once such effectual steps as may be necessary to secure an early termination of the hostilIGes in Cuba and an inde- pendent and stable government by the people thereof, and to enable him to carry out the purposes of this resolution he is hereby empowered ard directed to use the land and naval forces of the United States.
 The resolution went oyer. under the rlIl0S

and out over the rough bar that guards the mouth of the river.
 J. D. Spreokels & Bros. Co. will at once replace the tugs that were sold. Just how it will be done has not yet been decided, but in all probability orders will be given to the Union Iron Works to construct three steel tugs to take the places on the bay of those purchased by the United States to be turned into fight ing vessels.
