ing down the long halls. Then there was
another outburst, and people poured forth
from every room. The cheering caused in
tense excitement, and 1t was some minutes
before quiet could be restored. General
Lee bowed to the crowd, and as he reached
the door to Secretary Sherman's office, he
turned and bowed again. Then the door
closed on him and the throng dispersed.
After few minutes the consul general
emerged accompanied by Secretary Sher-

to the white house, General Lee getting an

say that If that is not proposition to es-

London, April 13.-The Madrid correspond
ent of the Daily Mail, telegraphing at
1880 p. M, says: The message mas pro
duced q very deep and bitter impression.
Friends of the cabinet share the sentiments
of general discomfort. I am assured on
good authority that Senior Sagasta is very
much disguested with the message seeing
the difficulties ahead as consequence OF
it.
The influential press is rather reserved in
its comments, but the impression which
the message has made upon the people at
large is very unfavorable. They, how
ever, appreciate the gravity of the situa-
ton.
Notwithstanding the rumors that the Car
lists have been fomenting the war feeling
this is not so. They have never expresse
any sympathy with the popular movement
On the contrary their leaders have exhorted
their followers to remain quiet.

will be proceeded against in the ordinary
tribunal

"a stable government; what do you pro-
pose now? Let this congress give to the
president the army and navy he says, and
1 will go over there and force the Cuban
patriots, force the Cuban heroes to submit
to a stable government at the hands of
Spain, because the queen regent has al
ready advised the administration that she
has ordered a suspension of hostilties She
cannot order suspension as against the
insurgents. She has not among all her
bull fighters and DULLES manhood enough
to order suspension of hostilities on the
Insurgents side This administration with
all this vacillating polity, which was crit
icised by the Chicago Tribune an admins
tration paper asks us to put the army ana
navy in it's hands to go over and punish
the Cubans after three years of the most
heroic fight for liberty that any people
ever made on the face of the earth. L

Mr.. Hepburn (rep., of Iowa, made a
spirited and indignant reply, denouncing

short of scoundrelism.

'The very language of the president as

power to discharge these international OBJ

tleman from Ohio is like the picture of a

Washington, April I2.-Gen.
Grosvenor of Ohio, now gener-
ally regarded as the spokesman
Of the president on the floor of

in reply to an attack upon the
policy of the administration, in
terpreted the recommendation
of the presidents message to

use the army and navy of the
United States to establish on Il be
island OF Cuba a government
independent Of Spain.
1t was regarded as an exceedingly i'm
portant and significant announcement. In
the brief debate today the opening guns of
the contest that begins tomorrow were
fired. Broadsides were exchanged and
then the house adjourned. Mr.. Lentz, an
Ohio democrat who drew the fire of General
Grosvenor last Thursday, returned to the
assault again today, attacking what he
termed the "vacillating" policy of the
president, midnight conferences" at the
white house with Senator Ellins and John
]. McCook and asserting that the presi-
dents recommendations really meant that
the United States should coerce the Cuban
insurgents into an acceptance Of Spain
scheme of autonomy.
He tainted the republicans because the
republicans had not declared for the in
dependence of Cuba, which the republican
platform had demanded. ut remains to be

the house can be lined up and whipped in.
Congress, he declared, should act and could
better act than the executive, formulating

tenn After the Execution.

San Francisco, Jan. 6.-Theodore Dur
rant has renewed his hope OF escaping
TIE gallows, since the federal judges
have taken his latest petition for a
writ OF habeas corpus under advise
rnent. He seems to have shaken off the
dependency that was fast bringing him
TO a state OF nervous collapse. Strong
pressure is being exerted toinduce Gov
ernor Budd either to commute the sem
tence or grant a reprieve. Chief JUS
xtice Beatty of the supreme court, who
dissented from decisions of his col
leagues against Durrant, visited the
governor, but the result of the confer
ence is not known.
Scientific men who are interested In
the pathological features OF Durrants
case are grievously disappointed at the
prospect that no autopsy will be al
lowed on the remains. DIR. John w.
Robertson the chemist, has received
commission from journal of insanity
to prepare an elaborate treatise on the
case He is firmly impressed with the
extraordinary character Of Durrant as
a study in psychopathy, and regrets
that a post-mortem examination OF the
head of the condemned man cannot be
made The fact that Durrant having
been well advanced as medical stu
dent should have made positive re-
quest that no examination be made OF
his face or head after death is COM
mented on as significant. 1t seems that
no measurements of Durrant's head
have been made.
