pressed by President Cleveland ana
Secretary Olney during the last admin
istration In opposition to q recognition
Of independence. There was but one
addition made to the message, and that
was In relation to the dispatch presented
to the rtate department by Minister
Bernabe and containing the information
that the queen regent had granted au-
thority to Captain General Blanco TO
issue an armistice. the terms and condi-
tions OF which would be left to his judg-
ment. This was the first communities
tion the state department has had with
the Spanish minister since q week from
last Friday. So far an am aware there
has been no suggestion made to the In
surgents by this government with a view
to their considering the proposition for
an armistice authorized by the"Spanish
government. This government has never
had anything 10 do with the gentlemen
composing the Cuban Junta In New York.
/ do not think The armistice Idea will
nave the least effect on any action that
may be contemplated In congress-
1t is said some members Of the cabinet
recommended further delay simply to
observe the practical effect Of the arm
istice. but they were outvoted by the
majority, who thought the president had
waited long enough.

QUITTING CUBAN CAPITAL.
Crowd of Spaniards Kissed and Jeered
Departing Americans.

Crowd of Spaniards Kissed and Jeered
Departing Americans.
Key West. April 1.-THE wharves and
boats on both sides of the narrow en-
trance to the harbor were crowded with
Spaniards, who Kissed and jeered as
each boat passed out Saturday with its
load OF departing Americans. AS the
Fern rounded to. heading for the open
sea, she passed near the Maine wreck.
The group on deck had been laughing
and talking. expressing their satisfac-
tion at leaving Havana. With one ac-
cord each man doffed his hat in salute
to the brave dead. while silence fell on
all for the space of several minutes.
General Lee. being on board the Fern,
made that boat target for redoubled
Kisses. groans. cat-calls and whistles
from the crowds on shore. Get out,
Yankee swine." was amdng the mildest
expressions used. This really seemed to
strike everyone on board as ludicrous
Vice Consul Springer, who had been on
the island 30 years, waved his hand to a
particularly abusive group, saying I'm
tones loud enough for all to hear: Wait,
walt my friends; we will all be back
soon"
There was one pretty incident On the
Cabanas shore a British steamer was
unloading at her wharf. As the Fern
passed the union Jack was dipped. while
the English crew gave a hearty cheer.
1t is needless to say that the compli-
ment was returned with all possible
gusto.
Havana seemed dazed when the peo-
pie found that General Lee was really
going. and that all the Americans were
going with him. Not TO see the United
States flag floating from the staff at
the consulate struck many residents as
little less than calamity The fact that
Mr.. Gollan, the British consul, called
with General Lee on Captain General
Blanco also puzzled many. some be-
lieving that this meant an English al
lance had been settled. The truth In
that the Havana newspapers have been
Under such surveillance for months,
have been made to publish SO many
untruths and have printed so many
tales OF the United States backing down
at the demand Of Germany. Italy. Aus
tria and Russia that the residents take
no stock whatever in anything pub
lished. Consequently when they saw
the Americana leaving, despite the state
ments or the papers that they had no
intention OF going. Il was believed that
q crisis was at hand. .-...
From the crowded decbs Of the OIL
vetts hearty cheers went up as the
launch from the Fern with the corre-
spondents and consular agent on board
put ashore Sunday morning. At about
IL o'clock General Lee came ashore and
received an answer from Waehjngfon

TONE OF MADRID PRESS.

Madrid April 1.-THE Epoch says that
IT now lies with America to decide
whether she will cooperate with Spain
for peace. If a new demand be made
or President Mc<inley's message be not
concilatory II will be clearly proven
that America wishes TO provoke
quarrel. The paper continues: I'VE do
not consider the conflict ended by this
truce. The jngoes' enormous influence
In America and that of the insurgents
may turn the truce into fasco. but de-
spite all this we think the governments
action wise to fix the responsibility upon
America
The National Is bitterly hostile to the
concession and says that the govern
ment called in the European powers to
witness a scene on fspaiH,s Disgrace Fer
this language the paper was confiscated.
The Herald remarks that the six pow
ers have put Spain between the devil
and the deep sea by saying. Grant an
armistice. or we will hold you respon-
sible for the war;. The paper expresses
the hope that the country will restrain
its passions in the presence Of the sad
events.
The Globe stoutly defends the policy
of the government in granting an armis-
tice for the sake OF peace and to avoid
a rupture with the United States. The
paper considers the measure in no wise
disparaging to the military prestige of
Spain.

CONGRESSIONAL JURY.
History Making Week Begun In the
National Capitol

History Making Week Begun In the
National Capitol.
Washington. April ll.-Upon the pre-
sumption that Spain's offer of an armis-
tice TO the Cuban insurgents will make
no change in the plans of the admin
istration, the house this week will make
history. In anticipation OF stirring
scenes and momentous action every con-
gressman was besieged for tickets to the
reserved galleries, while the general null
titude, which must take it's chances in
the public galleries on the principle first
come first served. prepared TO assault the
capitol at dawn.
With the gravity of the situation con-
fronting them, members on both SIDES
have been sobered. and seem impressed
with the idea that things should proceed
in a regular and orderly way. Itseems
almost certain now that there VIII be
q conflict both In the committee and in
the house as to the nature of the resolu-
tions upon which the house will be called
upon to act. The Democrats have taken
an unequivocal position in favor OF the
recognition of independence, although
there Is a difference OF opinion as to
whether intervention should follow.
majority of the Republicans OF the COM
mittee have within few days declared
themselves for Intervention and inde-
pendence. In the desire Of the Repub-
licans OF both houses to secure harmony
OF action, some of the advocates OF in
dependence have about come tosthe con-
clusion that the difference between
armed intervention and recognition Is
more technical than substantial, as. un-
less the island should be annexed. to
which they are opposed. republican
form of government must follow.
The tendency in the senate is to
confine the congressional fulmination to
be handed in tomorrow to a declaration
for armed intervention, leaving the rec
ognition OF independence to come later
II now appears probable that the foreign
relations committee will report in favor
OF this course. though not without some
dissent. II the meeting of the COM
rnittee to be held before the receipt OF
the message should develop that such
action can be secured from the COM
mittee and in q way to insure harmonious
action on the report in the senate then
there probablSLwould be no occasion for
q discussion in the form OF a resolution
taking up the real question at issue.
A resolution scarcely can get through
the senate without arousing some dis
eussion. as there are senators who are
opposed to any action at all. whether for
intervention or independence. Senator
White of California is one of these, and
he will probably discuss any resolution
reported. There are several senators
who now say that they will insist upon
the recognition Of independence In any
action taken. and that they will be heard
from in opposition to any measure that
does not provide for this.
