Ill Feeling Between the Two Fec.
ttOns Becomes More Intense.
The old royalist party of Hawaii is hope
lessly divided and the i'll feeling between
the two factions is becoming more and
more intense. Friendships of long stand
ing have been greatly strained within the
past few days. A royaltst meeting was
held some time ago, but the adhcrents Of
the ex-queen did not attend 1t, those pres
ent being Hawaiians who favor Princess
Kaiulani. The old party adhercs firmlyto
I4iliuokalani and restoration. 1t declines
to recognize any other platform or set Of
principles. 1t is the largest and most
powerful faction. This faction has de-
nounced a native named Kaulia, q member
of the Hawaiian commission just returned
from Washington. Kaulia claims that re-
storation and annexation are both dead,
and lie advises the Hawaiians to unite in
support Of the republic, take the oath of
allegiance, register and participate in the
politics Of the country.

Government of the Decree aud its
Terms-Gencral Lee Arrives at Key
West and Leaves for Washington.
Armisticc Granted.

ArmistiGc Granted.
The Spanish government, through its
minister at Washington, Senior Polo, de-
livered an important official document to
the state department Sunday stating that
the armistice which the queen regent of
Spain had commanded Gen. BlancO to prO.
claim Monday was without conditions,
that her majesty's government had granted
liberal institutions to ,le Island of Cuba
which the coming Cuban parliament
and sympathy expressed by the regent
and lier government on the disaster of the
Maine and the horror this disaster had oc-
casionei in Spanish hearts, and appealing
to the courtesy and sense of justice of the
United States government to enlighten
public opinion on the attitude of Spain.
The note also repeats tile offer of the
Spanish government to submit the Maine
question to experts designated by the
maritime powers Uf tine world.
This document was the official n0tifica-
tion of the Spanish government to tho
United States OF the granting of an armis-
:icc and its essential terms. Minister
Woodford's dispatch Saturday night had
briefly stated the fact that an arnlistice
lad been agreed upon, hut it was not cOm-
municatcd as coming from the Spanish
government. The communication cleared
up misrepresentation on the most vital point
of Spain's concessions, namely, that the
armistice was without conditions.
Senior Quesada of the untadeclarcdt that
the armistice was simply IL Spanish trick
designed to create the impression that the
insurgents were unreasonable. From his
standpoint nothing short of independence
will satisfy the Cubans. 1t remains 10 be
seen how far Gen. Gomez and the insur-
gents in the field entertain this view. Ii
they also reject this armistice, Spain is not
likely to continue the truce and the resort
10 arms will continue.

Fear an Apache Uprising.
The proposed withdrawal Of United.
States troops from Arizona and New Mex
leo has greatly alarmed the big cattle
raisers of that section of the country. They
fear an outbreak by the Apaches, and have
warned the department at Washington
that the removal of the troops is likely to
lead to a serious Indian outbreak. 1t is
intimated, though, that the national guard
of some of the western states may be sent
to Arizona and New Mexico to prOtect the
cattlemem and the settlers. There are
about $4,000 Apaches in New Mexico,
and they have not been any too good
tempered for some time. They have a
number of real or fancied wrongs against
the settlers, and it is the belief in the
Indian country that the presence of the
troops is the only thing that restraints the
A.pacllcs. The White Mountain Apacles
are particularly ugly, and there have been
IL number0 of small ARRAYS recently between
whites and Indians, which are taken by
the settlers as an indication of the temper
of the aborigines.

Cape Verde Islands.
The report that Spain's squadron of cvo-

about to sail for Cuba or Porto Rico is
absolutely false. Positive orders have
been sent to Cape Verde Islands for the
torpedo squadron to stay there. 1t is not
contemplated TO send the squadron of

trary, Villamal's squadron is expected to
return to Cadiz. Neither of the squadrons
at Cadiz are anything like ready for sea.
Neither are they assembled yet, and no
orders have been received from the marine
minister to move either squadron. The
only instructions which have really heen
given to Admiral C%hurruca, commanding

Wilhelm der Crosse, has eclipsed all west
ward records between southampton and
New York. 1t crossed the ocean at an
average speed of 300 knots. Its time, as
given by Capt. Englehart, from the
Needles to the Sandy Hook lightship, was
five days and twenty hours, or more than
two hours ahead Of its former record,
which was made on its maiden voyage in
September last. Moreover, its average
exceeds that made by any ocean steamer.
1t is 10.2s l:nois better than the best average
made by the Cunarder Lucania, and it ex-
ceeds the Cumarder's record trip from

Perish in q Snowsltde.
A dispatch from Skaguay, Alaska, via
Seattle, April 2, says: At about noon
April 5, on the Chilkoot trail, between the,
Scales and Stonehouse, fifty TO 100 men met
death and q large number Of others were
injured more or less seriously in a now
slide. The dead were crushed under an
avalanche of n and ice, which came
down from the mountain on the left hand
side from the trail, midway between the
Scales and Stoneh0use.
The point at which the accident occurred
il ome miles above Sheep Camp. The
nearest telephone station is four miles dis
tant. The telephone wires at this point
were carried away by the slide. This fact
makes it difficult to obtain further partic-
ulars. A binding snowstorm was raging
all tlay upon the summit Of Clilkoot Pass.
Asa consequence, many of those in the
vicinity were making no attempt to travel.
Thousands of people were encamped in
the vicinity at the time of the accident and
rendered such assistance as was possible.
Upon receipt of the news, points below
Dyea telephoned up TO know IL assistance
was required and received answer to the
effect that 5000 people were at work OH
the debris and were only in each others
way.
All day Saturday and Sunday a south-
erly storm, with rain, wind and now pre-
vailed in this vicinity and 1t is believed
the softening of the on the mountain
side by these agencies was the cause of
the avalanche. The quantity of snow and
ice that came down in the slide is estimated
at thousands of tons. 1t swept directly
across the trail which, Notwithstanding
the fact that the weather was unsuitable
for travel, thronged with gold hunters.
The last vestige Of the trail was wiped out
of existence, and where it laid is nov
a mountain of SNOW and ice, under which
are many dead bodies that cannot be re-
covered for days to come.
