How the Senate's Vote Is Regarded In

as closing the door to an understanding
of any kind being arrived at between the
Spanish and American governments.
Should President Mckinley endorse either
the idea of recognition of Cuba or of
armed Intervention, no Spanish govern
mentN could tolerate either of these
courses without risking the gravest con-
sequences in Spain.
1.-The votes of the senate and house of
representatives are considered likely to
paralyze both the mediation of the pope
and the friendly interference of the Eu-
ropean powers in the interests of peace,
because the resolutions passed, if sane

HIS PLACE IN THE FIELD.
General Lew Wallace Throws Up Po-
litical Honors For War.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 1S-General
Lew Wallace. the famous soldier diplo-
mat and novelist, who was II years
old April 10, has formally withdrawn
from the race for the United States
senate and announces that he will
enter the army and fight for Cuban
independence.
In a statement given out today over
his signature. General Wallace says:
In view of the certainty of war
with Spain, l have rendered the ma
tional government my services in the
field. That l have been a candidate
for United States senator may sub
ject this action on my part to miscon-
struction, so l beg to announce my
withdrawal from the senatorial race.
To the many Republicans who have
given me their support, 1 offer my
hearty thanks and most grateful
acknowledgements
General Wallace does not seem to
be speaking unadvisedly. 1t is known
that he recently addressed a letter to
the president making a tender of his
services, and it is believed that he re-
ceived a favorable answer and as
surance that he would be appointed to
a position commensurate with his
talents and with his distinguished
services in the war of the rebellion.

HARDSHIP ON SPAIN.
Action of Great Britain In Declaring
Coal Contraband of War.

coal ContTaband of War
Washington. April 1.-THE action Of
Great Britain in declaring coal 10 be a
contraband of war, as reported from
Jamaica, is said to have a significance
dlnerent from that attached to il in the
dispatches. As explained in a high
diplomatic quarter, such an order
would not prevent a vessel of either
Spain or the United States from taking
coal a Kingston or any other port in
the West Indies. Even when this ar
ucle is contraband it is said TO be
usual TO permit vessel of a belliger-
ent power to take aboard sufficient
coal TO carry her to the next. port. Once
out OF the port, however, the vessel
taxes her chances with her contraband
cargo, and ii is liable to seizure as con-
traoand of war while en- route to a port
of the belligerent power.
Applying this rule TO the present
case, 1t is said that if a Spanish ship
went TO Kingston for coal she would
be able to obtain a supply sufficient 10
carry her to Porto Rico or Cuba When
once away from Kingston. however
the vessel and her cargo would be SUBJ
Ject to seizure by the United States
ships. The same rule, it is said would
apply in case a ship of Great Britain
or any other country was engaged in
carrying such contraband article.
The flag would protect the ship as a
whole. but it would not protect the
contraband article on board, the ship
being subject to search and to seizure
of the cOntraband article.
The rule would apply equally. 1t Is
said, to ships taking coal in Kingston
Tor the use of the United States naval
vessels In effect. however, the rule
would be applicable mainly to Spain.
as the United States naval vessels need
not look to British Indies for their coal
supplies, whereas Spanish vessels
would rely upon this as well as other
West India ports for supplies.

WAR MAY BE PREVENTED.
I'm vatican circles the opinion is
still held that an outbreak of war may
yet be prevented, and rumor is afloat
to the effect that the pope is endeavor-
ing TO persuade Spain to recognize the

Among continental diplomatists

able at what is alleged to be the at

ers, which have special reasons to fear
the consequences of Spanish defeat. are
evidently of the opinion that Europe
has lost a good opportunity of affirm
ing her interests as a compact pohtl-

interests OF America. At some future

her failure to cooperate with the other
powers in creating a precedent for

ut is noticeable. however, that
somewhat inadequate knowledge Of
the present state Of feeling in America
prevails in quarters where these opin-
ions are entertained"
The Rome correspondent of the Daily
News, telegraphing Sunday, says:
QUEEN AGREES.
According to news received at the
vatican, the queen regent agrees with
the pope as to the necessity OF doing
everything TO avoid the risk of war
in which Spain has all to lose and moth
ing to gain. Still it is very difficult to
find a formula to allow Spain to re-
nounce sovereignty over Cuba.
THE pope has renewed his efforts 20
convince the Madrid government that
although it may be painful TO abandon
the island, it is not dishonorable, Spain
yielding to superior force with war.
Cuba would hardly be the only pos
session lost. and if others went also, in
ternal troubles would be inevitable.
ENGLAND ALSO.
"At the vatican it is asserted that
Austria and England have acted on the
same lines, encouraging Spain TO sub
NIT to the inevitable and abandon Gu
ba. They cite the recent example of
Greece which rejected the disinterested
advice of the powers.
Contrary to custom. at today's papal
mass, Baron Won Bulow, Prussian
minister to the vatican, and NJ. Pou-
belle, the French ambassador were
present and afterward held a long con-
q no oh

SENATE'S ACTION.
Both the pope and Cardinal Ram
polla, the papal secretary of state. ex-
pressed satisfaction that the Turpie
amendment, recognizing the Cuban
government, had been passed by the
American senate, considering that it is
a new delay and means the considera-
ton of President McKinley's policy of
giving Spain time to decide on the best
way to evacuate Cuba"
