Davis moved that the message Of the
President. the findings Of the court of in
qIiry and the testimony taken. before the
court be referred to the committee on for
eign relations and ordered printed.
1t was so ordered.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) introduced a resolu-
ton that 1000 additional copies of the
message, findings and testimony be printed
for use of the Senate.
The resolution was agreed to.
Mr.. Money CMiss) spoke on the Cuban
situation. He said that the task he had
set himself was. perhaps, one Of superero-
cation.
Senator Moneys Remarks.
Mr.. Proctor. Mr.. Gallinger and Mr.. Thurs.
ton had already presented to the Senate
the conditions in Cuba as they had seen
them. Their statements were concise, bril-
lie mt and eloquent, and while he did not
hope to edd much to the information they
had furnished, he felt it his duty to speak
and to speak now
Mr.. Money said that he was willing to go
t. any extent to feed the starving, clothe
the naked and relieve the sick upon that
unhappy island, but he was satisfied no
definite results could be obtained by the
employment of such means alone. He said
ne was certain that, while Weyler was a
willing instrument, he was: in fact, only an
instrument in the hands of higher power
"a power that had deliberately determined
upon a plan of starvation and extermina-
ticn.
That frightful and inkuman scheme had
originated in the brain of Canovas. the all
powerful prime minister of Spain who pre-
coded Sagasta.
THAT plan of RECOMMENDATION and star
walton and DEATH declared Mr.. Money,
was deliberately planned with the definite
and distinct purpose in view of destroying
population that Spain cannot control-a
people in whose breasts the desire for lib
erty is as strongly instiled as 1t was in the
breasts Of our forefathers."
After discussing the situation in Cuba
among the reconcentrados as he found it,
Mr.. Money declared that much time had
been wasted in efforts to bring about peace
on the island through autonomy and
through diplomatic agencies.
Such negotiations are not perhaps i'm
beetle" said he, but their inutility ought
to suggest itself to the commonest mind"
He declared that independence and indie
pendence alone would satisfy the Cubans
las long as the yellow flag of Spain
salutes the sky over the afflicted island
Mr.. Money believed, "the Cubans would die
to man rather than accept anything less
than independence
The Senate Adjourns.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Moneys speech
the Senate at 1855 pm. adjourned as a
mark of respect to the memory of Repre-
sentative Simpkins of Massachusetts.

TOMORROW.

(By Captain Joseph G. Waters.)
No more shall return the far away crews;
And down where the aspen leaves shiver,
The maidens will mourn in fair Andaluse
And weep by the dark Guadalquivir.
Our dead in the bay or drifting to sea,
The anguish and pain of our sorrow,
We keep back today, for other things be,
That need our attention tomorrow.
A groan of the keel lift of the wave,
The crash of a beam or a girder,
A roar and peal, then night and grave
And Spain we hold guilty of murder.
A mother, may weep through nights that
And wait while her candles are burning
A soul from the deep her lone heart to
That never shall know a returning.
We stif1e each tear and grief of our own
To rescue a friend and brother;
Their children we hear who hunger and
And die on the breasts of their mother.
Then turn to the sea, the prows of our
ShipSi
At once let the squadrons steam for
ward!
The wrath of mankind on a coward!
When over our graves the navies shall
ride
Their cannon to thunder and rattle,
Then up from the waves each sailor who
died
Shall challenge the Spaniard to battle!
No more shall return the far away crews;
And down where the aspen leaves shiver,
The maidens will mourn in fair AndaIuSe
And weep by the dark Guadalquiviri

livered lecture on 1.-The Signs of the
Times at the invitation of Rev.Thomas
A. Dixon, Jr., who is about to start on
a lecturing tour of Kansas.
When Mrs. Lease, attired in a neat
black dress, with a single jack rose in
the corsage, arose to begin her address
she could not begin for several mo-
mentS on account of the applause. AS
it died away she plunged into her sub
ject by telling how men in all ages had
been able to prognosticate the weather,
but could never read the signs of the
worlds events. If President Mckinley
had a year ago taken the action with
regard to Cuban liberty that he is COM
PEELED to take now Cuba would have
been free and the Maine would never
have been blown up.
That's sou cried man in a box
and That's so!' same from all parts
of the theater.
Mrs. Lease walked to the extreme
edge of the stage and shook her finger
significantly as she declared:
This country needs men to live for
her today as much as she needs men to
die for her. Let that never be forgot

40 DEATH ENGINES
Have Been Sunk Across the En-

New York, April "A dispatch to the
World from Havana says:
Forty floating submarine mines were
secretly planted in Havana harbor last
Wednesday night by the Spanish gov
eminent.
This information comes from official
sources and is absolutely correct.
The mines were laid in the narrowest'
part of the channel, between Moro and
Punta, in two lines of twenty mines
each.
They are spherical and float about "a
1eet under the surface. Each is attach
eu py an anchor chain to a heavy cable
anchored on the bottom. The detonat-
ing wires run up the chains. There is
sufficient force there to paraIyze the
biggest ship af1oat. But if any entering
fleet should use counter mines or bow
torpeooes on approaching the narrow
est part of the entrance to the harbor
the mines could be exploded

STOP SUNDAY FUNERALS.
Pastors of the City Want Certain
Abuses Corrected.

The following resolutions were pre-
sented to the Ministerial union at their
meeting this morning and were unani-
mously adopted:
DR.. H. w. Roby was to read a paper,
Funeral Reform From Medical
Standpoint" He was called out of the
city and was unable to be in attend
ance. The resolutions We're adopted
unanimously without discussion
The committee appointed to fornu-
late the judgment of the Topeka Min
isterial union on the subject of @'F'uner-
al Reform" offer the following report;
Whereas, The modern funeral has be-
come to a great extent an occasion for
unseemly curiosity and ostentatious
display; and,
Whereas, The extravagant expendi-
ture for casket, flowers, carriages, ETC.,
which custom has made a law, fire.
quently entails poignant modification
and grinding pressure upon families or
limited resources; and,
Whereas, The conventional arrange
ments now in vogue introduce a dis
turbing element in what ought to be a
season of instructive stiffness, and I'M
pair the health if not imperil the lire,
of many who are compelled to counte-
nance them; therefore,
Resolved First-That we use our
best endeavors to create a public sentl-
ment in favor of greater simplicity ana
seclusion in the burial of the dead, and
to prevent an event of the greatest
solemnity from degenerating into an
occasion for pOmp and show.
Resolved, Second, That as means to
this end we discourage all public funer-
ais, especially on the Sabbath, and warn
our people against those cruel exact
ions of society which mock prudence
and OUTAGE honesty in the prevailing
mode of burial.
Resolved, Third, That while according
a scrupulous honor to the feelings OF
those who have surrendered their be-
loved, we nevertheless deprecate any
oh which
consonance with the laws of health for
the living; and,
Resolved, Fourth, That we earnestly
solicit equal consideration for the offi-
ciating clergyman and the funeral al
rector, so that instead of arbitrarily
apprising the former of a time for his
attendance and a length of service liked
to suit the convenience of the latter, MS
convenience also be consulted

STAMPEDE FEARED.
Great Difficulty Experienced in
Keeping the House Quiet.

Washington, April 4.-The conserva-
tive Republican leaders, as they arrived
at the house today, expressed the opin-
ion that there would be no outbreak to-
day, but they found among some of
their associates an intense feeling OF
reStlessness.
Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic leader,
was this morning considering the ad-
visibility of submitting a motion to dis
charge the foreign affairs committee
from further consideration of the Cuban
resolution.
A general view is expressed that if a
few of the Republicans would break
away, a general stampede would FOL
low. The leaders are strongly urging

would probably have to be overruled II

MAY BE THURSDAY.
Before the President Sends His
Message to Congress.

Washington, April 4.-No absolute
day has yet been announced when the
message is to be sent to Congress, and
all that seems to certain is that it will
not go in to-day. Tuesday, possibly,
but more probably Wednesday, or per-
haps Thursday. In addition to the
physical work of preparing the compre-
hensive document upon which the Pres
ident expects to rest Americas case
with the world, there are other reasons
why those in charge of the war prepa-
rations will welcome every hours de-
lay. War material which we have or
dered abroad is not yet shipped, and
the factories in this county, which are
at work night and day making powder
and projectiles are anxious for delay.
Some of the factories in Connecticut
with contracts have telegraphed Rep
resentative Hill urging all the delay
possible. They say every day is now
precious.

LEE READY TO LEAVE.
Arranges For Transferring His
Office to the British Con-
Sulate.

New York, April A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Consul
General Lee has been instructed to send
the American consulate over to British
Consul Collin and has already made the
necessary arrangements with Collin to
do SO. This is a mere precaution in
case General Lee has to leave suddenly.
He is simply getting his house in order.
General Lee had a long conference
with Consul Collin, who courteously
agreed to do everything in his power in
case General Lee receives orders to
leave or is forced to seek refuge on the
Fern with the other Americans by
sudden uprising of the Havana pop
ulace.
Consul Collin will probably have his
hands full if Havana grows violent, as
English residents will be regarded as
Americans if the excitement is great.
Consul Collin believes actual HOSTILE
ties between Spain and the United
States will be averted.
General Lee apparently has not aban-
doned all hope of pOStpOnement of inn
mediate hostilities, and his conference
here, was due, not to his intention of
leaving, but merely to insure the full
est protection of the consulate and
American residents should he be sud
denly forced to abdicate.
General Lee. it is known on all
hands, will stick to his post until it is
folly to remain longer.
