SENATOR'S HOLDING BACK.
The Anti-Wnr Element In the U. S. Senate
is Wording for Delay.

Washington, April H.--The conserva-
tive senators have decided to make
fight for the House Cuban resolutions.
and Will net In concert. An effort is
being made to have senators of differ
ent views unite upon the majority re-
port in order to secure early action.
Conferences looking to this end have
been held.
Senator Davis says he will press the
Cuban resolutions with diligence.
Senators anxious for early action are
determined TO hold continuous SEES
sion, If there is any disposition to de-
lay action by debate. The more rad
lcal senators say there are votes
enough To adopt the Turpie amend
ment recognizing the present Cuban
government, Those who think this
possible seem to think the House aud
Senate will compromise on suhstan-
TALLY the majority resolutions of the
Senate committee.
Nine Republican senators have
agreed to vote for the Turpie amend
ment recognizing the independence
of the present Cuban government. The
conservative senators expect the
House viii stand firm for its resolu-
tion and II the Senate adopts the
Davis resolutions with or without the
recognition amendment the conservn-
tives believe the Senate will in the
end have to yield.

cause Fighting Ia at sca-Has No
Doubt About Land Battles.

Galesburg, Ills. April 14-A letter
from Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom has
been received here. Regarding the war
situation the senator says;
I'VE are on the verge OF war and
will be in the midst of 1t probably in
another week. 1t is a serious thing to
contemplate. as 1t will be war on the
sea instead OF the land, largely, and
we do not know much about sea war
fare OF late years. Whether our ships
will prove to be as good as those of
other nations is to be tested, and
whether our navy is as well posted in
naval warfare as those of other eoun-
tries also remains a question.
so l shall feel exceedingly uneasy
until we get by the first round, Mt
least. and see how we fare. II It were
a fight upon land and foreign foe
We're coming to our shore. / would
have no concern as to the result. as

Madrid, April IA, n. m The news
papers here regard war as inevitable.
The latest dispatches from Washing
ton have created profound excitement
throughout Spain.
The spaniards protest against the
"odious imputation" that Spanish Off
GERS are responsible for the loss of the
Maine. 1t Is asserted that proof can be
furnished to show that no torpedoes
have ever been laid in Havana har-
Dor.
The Official Gazette tomorrow will

subscription to increase the strength
of the Spanish fleet.
SPANISH MINISTER READY TO GO.
Washington, April IA. - Spanish
Minister Polo has made final pre- para
lions for his departure from Washing
ton Immediately. When Madrid in

AGITATION FOR REVOLUTION.
Madrid, April 14-Cvia Bayonne,
France, April IA, s a. m.--The feature
of the opposition press is the endavor to
bring General Weyler TO the front and
make him the champion of the cause
of revolution, under the gulse of
savior of the national honor The gem
eral today undoubtedly has numerous
followers, and even the newspapers
which, ever since mis- return from Cu-
ba, have violently denounced him. are
now Iauding the former captain gem
eral Of Cuba as the one man who can
save the situation.
The Pals, under large headings read
ing Great Treason-Spain is Sold"
says:
ut is the atmosphere one breathes; It
on all lips: 1t Is sticking III our threats
and palpitating in our hearts. When
ready to fight we have been vllely sold.
Yesterday we were men; today we are
women. But the country VIII avenge
the treason"
Then the Pals turns to General Wey-
Ter, after having been unfrtend!y to
him for long time, and exclaims:
General Weyler is not alone in APP
prcciating the present dlshonor. He Is
backed ~ numerous republicans,
patriotic Carllsts. the Robledo conser-
NATIVES. which party is composed of
many senators and deputies, and the
representatives of the provinces: all

port of the masses who are only wait
ing for a guide and leader. General
Weyler IL not alone. No general and
no political parsonage has more fol-
lowers today than he has. May Gen.
eral Weyler not disappoint the hopes Of
so many patriots"

ORDERS TO THE FLYING SQUADRON.
These are to Practice, aud to Test the Min
ncapolls and Columbia.

New York, April 14.-"Proceed to
southern drill grounds for vancouver
and target practice to continue for n
period OF twenty-four hours, upon the
expiration of whihc return to Hampton
Roads. Direct Minneapolis and Column
bia to undergo speed trials" says the
Washington correspondent of the
World.
In effect those are the orders tele-
graphed to Commodore Schley, COM
mander-i lin chief OF the flying squadron.
this morning, which caused him to
leave his anchorage Of Fortress Monroe
at o'clock Wednesday afternoon and
proceed to sea. II can be authoritative
ly stated that Commodore Schley had
no other instructions. Should 1t be
deemed advisable while he IL at sea to
direct him to sail to a better strateglc
point than Hampton Roads. or should
war come, Instructions will be sent to
him by one OF the vessels now lying at
Norfolk or at Hampton Roads.
The authorities are DESTROYS of sta
tloning the flying squadron at n better
strategic point than Hampton Roads.
II Is generally understood that the
squadron will proceed first TO Porto
Rico and thence to European waters,
and 1t Is therefore considered wise
plan to put the ships as near Porto
Rico as possible, In order that no time
may be lost after hostilities have COM
menced.
There has been some talk OF having
the ships drop down as for south as
Port Royal, but this would not be any
great gain in the amount OF distance
saved. and the officials have therefore
considered the advisability OF having
the vessels go to the Bermudas or St
Thomas. No action, t~xeyer. has yet
been taken.

THE HOUSE WILL NOT DELAY.
Would Take the Senate Resolutions Rather
than Stop to bubble.
Continuous Session Untila
Vote is Taken.

Washington, April 4.-Some of the
House Republicans are organizing a
movement looking to the acceptance of
the Senate resolutions when they pass
that body. They fear that If the resolu-
lions go to conference concessions may
be made and delay may follow. The
Senate resolutions being the more
vigorous, please many of the radicals
better than the House resolutions.
Mr.. Cromwell of Ohio and other Re-
publicans of the House, after visiting
their colleagues at the other end of the
Capitol today came back jubilant over
the prospect that the Senate would be
held in continuous session until the
vote was taken. They have been con-
ferring with their colleagues and Dem
ocrats and Mr.. Cromwell says he be-
lieves a motion to accept the Senate
resolutions will prevail in the House by
"A large majority.

DEATH OF CHIEF HUBBARD.
Passed Away in Philadelphia Early
 Last Evening.

William H. Hubbard, superintendent of the New Haven fire department, passed away last evening at the home of his wife's mother in Philadelphia, Death was due to progressive, perni- cious anaemia. Superintendent Hub bard had been a sufferer from this dis ease for some time, but had only been seriously ill since July g. At that time he obtained leave of absence from his duties as superintendent and went to Philadelphia in the hopes of recuperat- ing his health. He continued to grow worse instead of better until last week, when his condition became alarming. Several consultations of physicians were held, but all in vain, and the end came at SOS last evening.
 Superintendent Hubbard was born in New Haven October A. 1S44, and had since resided here. After receiving his education in the public schools he be- came carpenter and joiner, being en- ployed by Nicholas Countryman, who had the contract for the joiner work in the building of the city hall He as sisted in the erection of the present city hall, and when the civil war broke out he enlisted in the Fifteenth C. w., many of whose members were resi- dents of this city. His term of service with the fire department dates from February 5, 1867, at which time he was appointed hoseman of the Phoenix Hose company No. 1. He resigned from this position on March 30, 1S69 After a few months, or on July 1, 1869, he was reap pointed hoseman of steamer No. 1. On April g. 1872, he was appointed call as- sistant chief engineer for a term of three years. This position he held for the succeeding thirteen years, or until December 1, 1885, when he was made permanent captain of steamer No. 2. On January 1, 1892, he was appointed fire marshal and assistant chief. This was when A. J. Kennedy was superin- tendent of the department. On the res- ignation of Superintendent Kennedy, September 4, 1897, MT. Hubbard was appointed to succeed him, and held this position up to the time of his death.
 MT. Hubbard leaves, besides his wife, son, Walter J. Hubbard, and daugh- ter, Mrs. Walter N. Church of this city. The deceased was member of Admiral Foote post, G. A. R., City lodge No. 36, l. o. O. F., and the A. o. U. W. The remains will be brought here for inter- ment leaving Philadelphia on the Colo nial express at 7:50 this morning. As yet no arrangements have been made for the funeral. Superintendent Hub bard was the third chief of the New Haven fire department since it became full-pay department, and is the first one to pass away.

ATTITUDE OF GERMANY.
Will Accept Conference But Expects
 Nothing of It.

London, Aug. 30--The Berlin corre- spondent of the Daily News says: Germany will accept the suggested conference, but expects nothing to re- suit from it. MT. Jackson, the secre- tary of the American embassy, does not believe in the practicability of the proposal. He assures me that, speak ing for himself only, he felt sure that America would not permit the Philip pine question to be submitted to such a conference, nor did he believe that it would be possible for any power to be- gin the work of disarmament.
 ''The subject was long on the mind of Emperor Frederick, who feared the time would come when Europe, ex- hausted by militarism, would be at the mercy of the industrial competition of the United States. A diplomat as- sures me that Emperor William intend- ed to revert to the subject of disarma- ment while at Jerusalem in the coming autumn to attend the dedication of the Church of the Redeemer. In addi- tion to taking the wind out of the KaiserS sails the cZar is the only Rus sian sovereign who has traversed Si- beria and he must have seen such a population of political malcontents as might easily be induced by American, Japanese and English influences to de- clare for independence.
 "The greatest objection to the circu- lar is that such a clever person as Count Muraveff signs it. According to various correspondents of the Daily News the Russian emperor's proposal is the revival of a project of Alexander III. of Russia, which was mooted to Emperor Frederick of Germany, but not publicly, owing to the passionate state of public feeling in France on the subject of Alsace-Loraine.
