HAVANA, Feb. % Americans IN
Havana have been quietly notified by
Consul General Lee that it might be

we're taken in view of the fact that
there IS u strong suspicion that the vol

autonomy, have been inspired to CRATE

proves that the catastrophe was due to
design. Many families will sail by the
OlIvetIe tomorrow.
This IS an indication that those on
the ground realize the probability Of
trouble arising suddenly and their
inability to protect oIpe and children
If any outbreak occurred.
The situation in Havana is more
grave than it was IL week ago. Although

The situation, which may be changed

that the explosion which wrecked the
Maine came from the outside.

believe the junior Spanish officers were
at the bottom of the disaster.

WAR PANIC ON THE BOTRSE
SITUATION AT HAVANA.
Consul Lee Has Been Assured That he
Will be Amply Protected.

Havana, April 2.-The newspapers
here, from news from which they have
received from the exterior and interior
of the island, regard the situation as
critical The tone of all the papers IS
intensely patriotic.
Orders were received to-day for the
closing of the contract with the wreck
ers now at work ON the Maine. and di-
recting that salvage operations should
be suspended. The tllg Merritt and the
barges Chief and Sharp will proceed
north as soon as practicable. The tat
tered flag at the poop of the Maine will
probably be removed. Amy further ac-
tion that may be taken will be the sub
ject OF Il conference.
The decision arrived ut is doubtless
based upon the report of Captain Chad
wick. Lieutenant Commander Cowles
and Lieutenant Commander Wainwright
composing the board appointed to decide
what was best to be done with the
Maine wreck. In their report. it is be-
lieved. the board set forth that it was
not possible to save the ten inch guns
unless dynamite was used to blow the
tops from the turrets.
la Lucha in an editorial under the
and Charity" to-day says that many
business houses in Havana have ceased
buying supplies outside the island, find
ing it possible to get their stocks much
more cheaply in ether ports in Cuba.
This. the paper says. Is due to enormous
smuggling operations made possible by
the admission Of relief from the United
Slates free of duty, aud II demands that
the government impose duties OH such
relief supplies, thus preventing the ilIe-
gal entry of goods (which 5s seriously
unfair to the government resources"
La Lucha claims that many persons
who formerly never earned or had dol

connection with the relief work,

The Senate Committee VIII so Report
to the Senate.
Washington. j.. c., April 2-Th full
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
has practically agreed to accept the
recommendation of the Subcommittee
for a resolution recognizing the indie
pendcnce Of Cuba and recommending
armed Intervention if necessary to So
cure it.
This conclusion was reached after 4
session to-day that did not continue
for more than an hour, and SO far as
can be learned there was no division of
opinion expressed in the committee as
to the propriety Of this course. Sena-
tors Gray, Daniel and Turpie were alb
sent, but the opinion is expressed that
none of them will make any opposition
to the reporting of the resolution.
The full committee to-day gave most
of its attention to the text of the report,
which will be made to accompany the
resolution. and which has been pre-
pared by Senator Davis.
The committee also had Admiral Ir-
win before them for some time to-day
examining him as torpedo expert ON
strength of the Spanish torpedo notiIla
and the best course for this country to
pursue i'll meeting il.
While the Foraker resolutions are
made the basis and the principal addi-
tions to them and some unimportnnt
changes in phraseology. The most nl-
portant, and in fact. THE ONLY ES-
SENTIAL ADDITION Is \ PARA
GRAPH FIXING THE RESPONSE
BILITY UPON SPAIN FOR THE
MAINE DISASTER, AND CITING
THIS As A CAUSE FOR AMERI-
CAN RESENTMENT, III NOT FOR
WAR.
The committee was in conmunicat tion
with the President during the day. and
was informed that while the President
would make an earnest effort to get his
message to Congress on Monday, he
might not be able on account of the
great demands upon hia time to get it in
before Tuesday He viii at the same
time supply copies of the consular cor
respOndence.
There has been some doubt as to what
recommendations THE PRESIDENT
WOUED MAKE. IF ANY. IN HIS
MESSAGE, BUT He GAVE THE
MEMBERS OF THE SENATE WHO
CALLED UPON HIM, TO-DAY TO
UNDERSTAND THAT HE WOULD
RECOMMEND BOTH, 4 RECOGNI-
TION OF INDEPENDENCE AND A
DECLARATION IN FAVOR OF IN
TERN ENTION. THIS WOULD BE
IN ACCORD WITH TIE COMMIT
TEES ACTION.
WAR PANIC ON THE BOURSE
Madrid. April . p. m.-The min
ister of Marine, Admiral Bermejo de-
nies the report that the government has
purchased the Italian cruiser Carlo Al
berto.
On the Bounse to-day there was not
merely Il panic. but there were abso-
lutely no transactions except in the
smaller class of internal and external
four per cents. with a heavy drop in
each. and Il still heavier fall in Cuban
bonds. Such a state of the Bourse is
considered tantanount to Il war panic.
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1898-04-03

nition of independence is not considered
Il casus belli by which Spain could de.
clare war, yet it is viewed i'll diplomatic
quarters as Il step which would have
consequences inevitably terminating in
war. For that reason it is said that the
recognition of the independence of Gu
ba is likely to be no less grave than
intervention.
SPANISH MINISTER IS CALM.
The Spanish Minister continues to pre-
serve his outward calm although he
feels that the relations are extremely
strained ana that his stay in Washing
ton may not be long continued. To
some of his diplomatic associates who
called today. he said that his conscience
was perfectly clear as be thought that
Spain's cause was II just one, and for
this reason nc felt no agitation. His
position Is & tryiEy onc, however,, as
the Spanish legation has been subject
ed to number of petty indignitles with
i'm recent days. These are of such a
Petty character that they have not been
called to the attention of tn government
officials. although police officers were
detailed to see that the offenses were
not continued. and that no acts of
vandalism or personal indignity were
committed.
SPANISH INQUIRY REPORT.
The State Department to-day received
the fun report of the Spanish commits
sion which Investigated the destruction
Of the battleship Maine. This docu'
ment has been expected for some days,
but it was not until to-day that it reach
ed Washington by special messenger
from Havana. 1t proved to be moss
bulky and voluminous document, OF fat
greater length than the report of the
American court of inquiry The text as
delivered to the State Department is III
Spanish, and it will take some time for
the elaborate document to be translated.
1t covers at least $50 closely written
pages Of official paper, double the size
of foolscap. The Associated Press early
in the week gave ii complete and official
synopsis of this Spanish report, the es-
sential features Of which were that the
explosion of the Maine occurred inside
of the ship and that no evidence existed
of any exterior explosion.
Admiral Irwin to-day was among the
witnesses before the Senate committee
on foreign relations which is making Il
thorough inquiry into the Maine disas-
Ter. His testimony was regarded as I'M
portant in meeing the position of tile
Spanish combustion that n mine did not
explode under the Maine, as no dead
hsli were found in the harbor. Admiral
irwin is an expert on torpedoes and SUP
marine explosions, and he told the com
mlftee that he never knew fish to be
Killed by such explosions.

men. Some of them urged upon the
President that the Maine incident be put
forward as casus belli, the general
Cuban subject being Subordinated to it.
Among these was Representative Marsh,
of Illinois, who said, after talking with
the President:
Il went to see the President to tell
him that the basis of our declaration of
war should be the destruction OF the
Maine, and the slaughter of American
sailors. That was a foul and interna-
tional blow ut the American people, the
American flag and American honor. 1t
was done by the Spanish apthorities. 1t

Washington, =. c.. April 1.-The issue
between the United States and Spain
remains unchanged. No communications
having any bearing upon the situation
have passed between this government
and Spain since last Thursday night,
when Minister Woodford transmitted the
reply Of the Sagasta ministry 10 the
Presidents propositions of two weeks
ago. Both governments appear to ac-
cept this issue as made up, and are
shaping their course accordingly. This
being the case the view is universally
entertained. even by representative men
of the administration. that Congress
upon receipts of the Presidents mes
sage early next week will take action
which, it is almost universally expect
ed. must result IN a severence of the re-
latIons OF the two countries. This
was III part foreshadowed by the action
Of the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations today in agreeing to a resolli-
ton favorable to the independence of
Cuba. and for armed Intervention if
necessary TO secure independence. With
the crisis so near at hand it is believed
that If any European Intervention or
mediation - to come it will be within
the next few days. 1t was said, how
ever. at the State Department late this
afternoon that no offer of European
mediation had yet been officially trans
mitted to this government. 1t was the
general understanding that friendly
overtures of this nature were looked for
at almost any time from France or Aus
trla, and il WIS reported during the day
that the presence in Washington Of
Cardinal Gibbons and Arch Bishop Ire
iand was in connection with mediation
from Rome, but it was stated on high
authority at the State Department that
no overtures of this character had taken
Official form, nor was the State Depart
ment advised that any such steps were
III contemplation.
BERNABE WOULD WITHDRAW.
1t is the understanding in official cir
cies' Dased upon information, that the
recoshliion or Cuban Independence
Wouid not III itself be regarded by Spain
as causus pelH But ar the same time
there ~ niue doubt that such recogni
ton OF cuban Independence would be
followed by the withdrawal Of the Span-
ish Minister, Senor Polo y Bernabe and
LIS Sh'ti' 0uitN, Iioli w dSnlnEt0n and
the termination of SPANS dinlon,t;o
representation at Washington Sud,
withdrawal is one of the last steps nrc-
ceding actual recourse to war. 1t is
probable, however. that the withdrawa
of the Spanish Minister, following the
recognition of independence, would not
be so much an indication of war as il
would be an emphatic protest by the
Spanish government against the rccog
milton of the independence of colony
over which she claims to exercise com
plete sovereignty. Although this rec6g
