tion. The entire plans for the defense of the island are not yet completed. but it is understood generally that as the new station is so located that it would be exposed to the fire of ships some distance away, large battery of both. guns and mortars will be re- uuired to make it safe.
 The channel, when deepened from the sea to the wharves and coal sheds, will, however, be so narrow that it's passage could be easily prevented by submarine mines.
 The experts now find that it would not be necessary for an enemy to en- ter this channel in order to commit damage, but he could lie we'll outside and attack the station. For this reason it is intedded in time to mount formidable battery at the Tortugas, such as is depended upon for the pro- lection of a number of the important coast cities, and to include in the system, also, searchlights, submarine mines and torpedoes.
 The island has been connected with Key West by cable.

Madrid, April 1.-The outcome of the cabinet council is that the ID h. isters considered and replied to the message from Rome delivered last evening, and transacted current busi- ness of different ministerial depart ments.

THE PLAYING OF LENTZ.
Who Sought to Turn the War Situs
 tion to a Political Advantage.

Washington, April 7.-There was a scene of great excitement in the house late this afternoon during the consid- eration of bill for the reorganization of the army. It was caused by MT. Lentz, an Ohio democrat, who made a vicious assault on the administration, charging that the policy of delay was in the interest of stock jobbers in Wall street. He alleged that Wall street was in possession of informa- tion that the message would not go in, long before it was known at the capitol and profted heavily by an ad- vance in the price of stocks which re- suited.
 He even charged that there was no warrant for the glaring statements about the situation in Havana which were given as justifying the delay of

American Affairs at Madrid in Charge
 Of the British. BUT A FEW DAYS OFF No Body So Optimistic as to
 Hope for Peace.
Both the House and Senate Afternoon Sessions Adj journed Until Monday When the Presidents Mes sage will be Submitted for Immediate Action.

Washington, April 7--There is nc longer any doubt as to the purpose of this government with respect to the situation in Cuba. War, in the opin- ion of the administration, is inevi- table except for the unlocked for event of a surrender on the part of Spain.
 The presidents message, which he had intended to send to congress yes terday, has not been changed in any particular whatever, and embodies the unanimous views of the cabinet with out the slightest variance or excep- tion. Any movement to avert war now must come from Madrid and. must concede all American demands, in- cluding an end to Spain's domination in Cuba
 Three features stand out plainly in the developments today. At noon the six great powers of Europe, through their representative here, called ct the White House and presented to President Mckinley a joint note ex- pressing an urgent hope for a peace ful adjustment of the difficulties be- tween the United States and Spain to which the president replied with un- mistakable plainness aS to his duties and the unselfish efforts of this govern ment to terminate the present situa- ton in Cuba.
 Another and probably the most significant actual step showing that finality had been reached by the United States government was the authoritative statement that Consul General Lee would leave Havana on Saturday. This step, it is known will be regarded by Spain as akin to an overt act preceding war as it will terminate the medium of of ficial intercourse between the United States and the island
 The third and almost equally i'm portant was the ominous tone of the press advices from Madrid, where the war fever seems to dominate. Instead of concessions, the opening of prison doors and other manifestations of peace and good will which Holy Thursday was expected to bring forth and more definite announcement of action that would bring peace to Cuba, the heavy guard about Minister Wood lords house, the imperative character of his note, the war utterance of Min ister Correo and the turbulence at the Spanish capitol left little hope that pacific counsels would prevail. Ne gotiations are proceeding at Madrid on the part of this government, but the powers of Europe, it is understood are doing their utmost to persuade the Spanish government to yield and avert war.

Spain Declares That She Can Recede
 No Further.

London, April "A special dispatch from Madrid says the ambassadors of France, Germany, Russia and Italy waited together this evening upon Senor Gullon, the foreign minister, and presented a joint note in the in terest of peace. Senor Gullon, replying, declared, according to the dispatch that the members of the Spanish cab inet were unanimous in considering that Spain had reached the limit of her international policy in the diree- tion of conceding to the demands and allowing the pretensions of the United States''

SENATORIAL CONFERENCE.
An Effort to Secure Harmony of Action

Washington, April 7.-The sundry civil bill was considered in the senate today until 2 o'clock. At o'clock the senate adjourned till Monday.
 A number of republican senator's, including Messrs Allison, Aldrich. Hanna and Spooner, most of whom are classed as conservatives, held a prolonged conference in the room of today after the adjournment of the senate. The purpose of the meeting was, if possible, to devise plan whereby the action of the senate on the Cuban situation will be harmoni- ous. The senators desire that what ever position is taken by the senate after the receipt of the presidents message on Monday shall be as nearly unanimous as it is possible to have it. and they devoted themselves to for mulating resolution on which a gen. eral agreement can be secured. They find this to be a difficult task in view of the fact that the senate divides upon the question of independence. All ap- pear willing to concede the necessity for intervention, but there is still a persistent opposition to recognition of the present government. This op- position has settled upon the second of the Foraker resolutions, which reads as follows:
 Resolved, That the government Of the United States hereby recognizes the republic of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island"
 Most of the conservatives express themselves as willing to accept as compromise the first of the Foraker resolutions, which reads: That the people of the island of Cuba are and of right ought to be free and 1nde- pendent"
 Advocates of a recognition of in dependence will oppose the change proposed in the Foraker resolution and also will antagonize the question behind closed doors. They claim to have a majority of at least twelve for a recognition of the present Cuban government.

SUPPORTED BY THE PRESS.
The Government of Madrid Could Not
 Have Done Otherwise.

Madrid, April 7.-The Heraldo's leading article will applaud the gov ernment's conduct in replying to Gen eral Woodford, whose proceedings, the article says, are considered extraori1i- narily brusque and blameabie. Briefly summed up, the Heraldo's information points to the fact that war is inevitable.
 The Liberal says it considers a rup- ture between Spain and the United States as an accomplished fact as a consequence of the Spanish cabinets decision of last evening, and adds: "The government did it's duty when it arrived at 6 conviction that it could not proceed in any other way with the United States. A response by the government to President McKinIey's note was not compatible with the honor of the nation"
 The Imparcial also applauds the decision of the government, and Ell Globo says: "The government will do it's utmost to maintain peace without impairing the national honor"

the sundry civil bill. In the house a signi6cant declaration was that of General Grosvenor, who declared that he believed war was inevitable. In fact, the speech made by General Grcs- venor in answer to charges against the administration by MT. Lentz of Ohio was an important contribution to the news of today.
 The importance of General Lees telegram was considered by members not to have been overestimated and the impression that the president was amply justified in withholding his mes sage became a conviction. This fact was emphasized by an adjournment un- til Monday of both houses.
 The opinion in senate and house is that war must come. Even the most optimistic of the conservative senators have given up hope of peaceful settlement. A great deal of consideration was given by senators and representatives to a form of ac- tion. On this point there is wide divergence of opinion, but it has as- sumed two distinct positions.
 One is a recognition of the iRde- pendence of the island, coupled with armed intervention to drive out the Spaniards, and the other is armed in tervention with a declaration that Cuba shall be free. There is desire on the part of those favoring the lat ter plan not to recognize the insur- gents and their government or any government until after the United States has control of the island. The latter plan is said to be that of the president, and efforts are being made to have it adopted so that there will be no diversion between the executive and legislative branches of the gov ernment-
 Fear is expressed that there may be a long debate in the senate if some compromise is not agreed upon before the committee on foreign relations makes it's report.

.the message. MT. Lentz's speech ere ated a profound sensation and was met with an emphatic reply from Gen eral Grosvenor, now regarded as the administration spokesman on the floor. MT. Grosvenor not on,y indig- tion for the report, but held MT. Lentz up to scorn for alleging corrupt mo- tivas against the president. MT. Lentz disclaimed, but the irate friend of the president gave him no mer>y. He was thoroughly aroused and laid about him with a veritable bludgeon. cEarg- ing that the democrats were seeking a political advantage, and paying his respects to John J. McCook and others.
 Before he concluded he expressed an opinion that war was inevitable as certain as that we would live until next week. unless it was averted by Spain The house adjourned until Monday.
 SAYS IT'S WAR NOW
 Washington, April 7. - Representa- tive Robbins of Pennsylvania intro duced a resolution calling attention to the cablegram from Consul-General Lee yesterday as to the imperilment of the lives in Cub aof American cit izens if the message should be sub mitted to congress before Monday and recognizing Cuban independence. It declares that state of war existed between the two nations since the Maine destruction, and directs the president to order the North Atlantic squadron at Key West to Havana to guard the safe conduct of all Ameri- cans from the island who desire to leave, and for the squadron to bonn bard Moro castle and close the port of Havana if the Spanish fail to comply. It also demands the Spanish govern ment to be notified by the president to withdraw her army and navy from the island and Cuban waters.

SPAIN LOSING SLEEP.
A Cabinet Session Prolonged Until
 After Midnight

Madrid, April 7.-Q:3O a. m.)-There appears to be much mystery connected with last nights events. It seems that after the regular cabinet meeting had adjourned ard Premier Sagasta returned home, the papalnuncio, Mgr Maya, in company with the minister for foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, ar rived with a communication from Rome. This was considered of such importance that other ministers were consulted and remained Tn council un- til 1:30 a. m. It. is believed the result of the deliberations was telegraphed to Rome, whence it is to be cabled to the United States. No explanation has been furnished of this procedure, but these facts are furnished on off, cial authority. The cabinet minis ters at their meeting decided to ap- point a committee to organize and su- perintend national subscription to increase the strength of the feet A semi official note issued after adjourn ment says:
 "The cabinet considered every as pect of the situation on the informa- tionof the foreign and colonial minis ters, and especially in the light of the reports of the ministers of war and marine. The outcome of the delibera- tions was the adhesion of the govern ment to all it's previous decisions without modification"
 STANDING FIRM
 Madrid, April 7.-(2:30 p. m.)-It is asserted here that the communication from Rome which the papal nuncio and the minister of foreign affairs placed before the cabinet after the regular meeting had adjourned last night, asked what concessions would be made. The cabinet, it is further stated, decided to reply that the government simply reaffirmed it's former decisions, already known to President Mckinley.
