TRAGIC DEATH OF AN INFANT.
Clyde O'Hara Fell Into a Tub of
 Water and Was Drowned.
TRYING TO GET HIS SHOE
And Lost His Balance The Mother Found Him With His Little Feet Sticking
 Out of the Tub.

Clyde o'Hara, the infant son of Mir. and Mrs. J. c. O'Hara, met tragic death at the home of his parents, 2009 Avenue E, early yesterday morning.
 MT. OHara, who Is the janitor at Paul Hayne school, left home about o'clock to attend to his duties and a short time after the mother went into the back yard to milk the COW, leaving the baby with his little sister, who was preparing to go to school
 The little fellow was just beginning to totter around and went into an adjoining room, where there was a tub of water, which attracted his attention. Child-like, he took off one of his little shoes and threw it into the tub It is supposed that the little fellow attempted to reach for his shoe and lost his balance, falling into the tub. In short time Mrs O'Hara returned to the house and missed the badly. She called him several times and failing to receive a response the mother became alarmed and, together with her little daughter, began search. It was thought that the little fel- low had wandered away from the house. but a nasty search in the yard and street in front of the house failed to find him. Returning to the house Mrs. O'Hara was mortified to see two little feet sticking out of the tub and to find the head of her baby submurged beneath the water in the tub, which was about half filled. She imme- diately grasped the child in her arms and used every means to resusciate the little fellow, but he was cold in death, and when Drs. Dozier and Clapp, who had been hasti- ly summoned, arrived, they pronounced death due to stranguation.
 The funeral will occur from the family residence at 9:30 o'clock this morning. In terment at Woodlawn cemetery.

president, declaring determined force both on land and sea to suppress the savage warfare that is now rampant upon that fair island"
 The time for action had arrived, and the sooner 1t was taken the better it would be for all concerned.
 The Case Is Made Up
 Mir. Rawlins said the case between the United States and Spain was made up. With congress rested the responsibility of declaring war and as it was a. pressing duty the president is no longer a party to be criticised, if amy one was to be. It rests with congrsss if dit wills to decide for war or peace. He did not choose to accept peace under such circumstances. MT. Rawlins opposed further delay. The da- sltruction of the Maine and the clandestine murder of 268 of our sailors had occurred forty-efght days since, but this was not all. For three years fhe Spanish authorl- ties had been impraSoning and murdering Americans. Of these facts the executive had doubtless been fully advised by the consular reports but these reports had been wtthhed1 on the plea that it would en- danger the safety of our officials in Cuba to give them out.
 Continuing, Mir. Rawins sstd delay had been sought last week. by the friends of the president on the plea that a message was soon to be sent in which would meet all the, demands of the country. Ait the same time the private and confidential sec rtary of the president was sending mes sage to his friends urging them to tho ut- most exertion to bring pressure to bear to secure peace. Mir. Rawlins criticised our halting policy in strong language. saying that 1t was such to justify Spain in holding the United Sta1tss in contempt. He added that the crime of the explosion of the Maine was due to our own indeciS- ion and cowardice and that such an ect would never have been perpetrated upon any ether nation
 An Absolute Declaration
 Tn conclusion. MT Rawlins made am argu- n1ent for am absolute declaration of war instead of a declaration for armed inter verrtonl The sundry civil appropriation bi1 was taleu taken up
 At 5 o'clock the senate went into execr- tive seeeon and soon afterward adjourned.

BILL TO PROVIDE
 COMPLICATIONS

(Continued from Second Page) >~~~-~~~~--~~--~O~~
 MT. Bailey then said he did not desire to oppose the bill. His purpose had been to see if some one on the other side would not venture some information as to the emergency that existed.
 Trying to Muddy the Water
 MT. Cannon said there was a time for speech, time for silence and time for action. This was time for the action. The president, he argued, should be perma- nently empowered to make temporary for tifications for the national defense. He declared MT. Bailey was posturing and said he had thought he (Bailey) could well afford to let this law be changed so that his own city of Galveston could be forti- fled perhaps to repel foreign fleet.
 "A fleet could never get near enough to lombard Galveston" observed MT. Bailey, 'if we had the right kind of administra- tion."
 MT. aCnnon, evidently nettled, replied angrily that he was talking nonsense. He meant business. The gentleman from Texas, he asserted, was trying to muddy the waters and to posture"
 MT. Savers, the ranking minority member of the appropriations committee, said the bill had the unanimous support of the committee. Once for all he wanted 1t un- derstood that whatever was necessary to place the country in a state of complete defense would have his support. (Ap- plause.)
 MT. Cookery (dem., of Mol, also a mem- Der of the appropriations committee, spoke in a similar strain.
 The bill was then passed without division and at 5:15 the house adjourned.

 Head.

Shanghai, April Alt is announced that a person of the highest ra1x has memor- ialzed the emperor in the most vigorous language, accusing the whole Tsung Ii Yamen Chinese foreign office) of being in the pay of Russia. He asserts that Russia expended 10,Co00O0 tae;s in bribery during the recent negotiations regarding the ces- sion of Port Arthur and Ta.ien Wan, etc., and claims that Ii Hung Changs share was 100000 taels.

 The Chinese complain bitterly of the fact that they do not possess war port for the live warships which are being built for them abroad, and which are due to arrive in Chinese waters this summer. Un'ess Wei Hai Wei, occupied by the Japanese, is evacuated, which is doubtful, the Chinese have no place in which to receive their new warships.
 The Russians have permitted two British freely.
 The British first-class cruiser Grafton, flagship of Rear Admiral C. P Fitzgerald. second in command on the Chinese station and the first-class cruiser Powerful, the armored cruiser Narcissus the sec,nd-class cruiser Rainbow and othef vessels of the squadron, left Chefoo on Saturday Their destination is unknown, but is reported to be Chemulpo, the port of Seoul capital of Corea.
 The movements of warships excite the greatest interest among foreigners here It is supposed they will make a demonstra- tiop, possibly in support of some British demands for concessions.
