sIGsBEE BEFORE SENATORS.
captain Suspects Tr.nchery on the
Part of t!,c Spanish,

~ sAhS
Washington, March S1.-The Senate com
mittee on foreign relations held two SEES
sions to-day. At the morning session the
proposition to purchase the Danish island
OF st. Thomas was discussed.
Capt. Sigsbee of the Maine and Capt.
Barker, Secretary Longs naval aide, who
went to Key West after the explosion On
behalf of the department, were before the
committee for an hour at the afternoon
sitting.
Both were examined in detail in regard TO
the condition and strength of our navy IN
the vicinity of Havana, and Capt Slgs-
bee was questioned as to his opinion and
knowledge of the Maine catastrophe.
His story was not materially different
from that detailed to the naval court of
inquiry, but the fact that it was given
personally to the committee and included
personal observations made a visible i'm
preston upon the members.
Capt. Sigsbee did not express a convic-
ton in so many words, that the disaster
was the result of treachery on the part of
the Spanish, but after the committee had
concluded its hearing, one of its members
expressed his belief that the explosion was
due to that agency.
The purpose in taking the testimony of
these naval officers is to incorporate their
statements in a report the committee will
make in case it finds it necessary to re-
port resolution for intervention. This
report will be in the nature of statement
to the country justfying the position
taken, and 1t is considered desirable to
support this with an array of pertinent
fo1f re h f01, 60 10
American people and the civilized world
of the justice of the course taken.
When the report which was circulated
during the afternoon to the effect that
Spain had rejected the proposals of the
United States, was brought to the atten-
ton of the committee, Senator Davis went
to the Senate chamber and asked that
there should be no adjournment until
Monday as had been contemplated. This
led to the surmise that in case the report
of Spains refusal should be verified, the
committee might bring in its report to-
morrow. 1t was stated later, however,
that the committee had not changed its
plans, and that it would probably wait
upon the President at least until Monday
if he should so desire.
There is no doubt that the committee IL
prepared to report very speedily in case
1t should feel called upon 10 do So There
has been no poll of the committees, and
no formulation of a resolution, but there
has been a very general expression of
views. This expression has so far taken
the shape Of recognition of the independ-
ence of Cubans, together with a declara-
ton for intervention sufficient to guaran-
tee this independence, and the best opin-
ion Is that such resolution will be the
ultimate result of the committees DELHI
eratiOnS if Spain insists upon continuing
the Cuban war and holding the island.

BRYAN NOW BELLICosE.
Relieves the Time Has Come to Inter-
Yene in Chin.

Lincoln, Neb., March 31.-Hou. w. ].
Bryan tonight made the following state
ment for the Associated Press in answer
to the question, whether, In his iudg-
ment, the time had arrived for the United
States to intervene in behalf of Cuba and
bring the war to an end:
Eyes the time for intervention Shas ar
rived. Humanity demands that we shall
act. Cuba lies almost within sight of our
shores, and the sufferings of her people
cannot be ignored, unless we, as nation,
have become so engrossed in money max
ing as to be indifferent to distress.
Intervention may be accompanied by
danger and expense, but existence cannot
be separated from responsibility and re-
sponsibllity sometimes leads a nation as
we'll as an individual into danger. A
reighbor must sometimes incur danger for
a neighbor and friend for friend
WAR IS terrible thing and cannot be
defended except as means to an end,
and yet it is sometimes the only means by
which a necessary end can be secured.
The state Furnishes it's own citizens by
imprisonment or even death when counsel
and persuasion fail. War is the final ar
bitter between nations when reason and
diplomacy are of no avail.
Spain might not resist intervention; il
is to be hoped that she win recognize the
right OF the United States to act and i'm .
medately withdraw from Cuba, but
whether she resents Intervention or not,
the United States must perform a plain
duty.
Spain has only herself to blame for
the condition of affairs in Cuba. If she de-
mics to her former subjects the rights of
war and calls the Cuban army a mob. LEI
her remember the words of Victor Hugo.
The mobH1s the human race in misery
No nation can afford to make its people
miserable.
IF the Cubans prefer death to Spanish
rule it must be because Spanish rule has
robbed life of JOY and hope. If a nation
sows the wind 1t must reap whirlwlnd."

BENEDIcTo SHOT IN THE BACK.

Killed Aranguren.
Havana, March Silt is announced that
Lieut.. Col. Benedicto who commanded
the Spanish forces which killed the in
surgent leader, Aranguren, while visiting
the house of DR.. Francisco Vidal at
Guanabaooa, has been wounded by re-
volver shot in the back The colored man
who fired the shot succeeded in escaping.
Brig. Gen. Arangueren was the insur-
gent chief who caused the execution of
Lieut.. Col. Ruiz. the aide de camp of
Capt Gen. Blanco, who visited, in the lat
ter part of December, the camp of the in
surgents with propositions of surrender.
Arangueren was surprised and killed
about a month later.

had been shot in the back by a coored
man while he was visiting at the house of
DR.. Francisco Vidal, No. Camarera

came highly incensed. They armed them

These prisoners WERE however, finally
released.
Two of the citizens were wounded, and
there is an unconfirmed report that one
was killed.
Lieut.. Col. Benedicto's wound is severe,
but 1t is believed he will recover. He has
been taken to the military hospital Alfonso
Doce. No one doubts that the motive of
his assaiant was revenge for the death of
Aranguren.
1t Is asserted on good authority that the
government at Madrid and the local gov
eminent have determined to provision Ha-
Vana city for three months, as against a
possible blockade Of the port by the Amer
lean fleet. 1t was also decided to bring
$4,000 tons of coal to Cuba as soon as pos
sible. Lack of money initiates seriously
against carrying out either plan. A strong,
effort will be made to get a portion of the
coal at least, but the provision question
has been, to all appearances, dropped.
Gen. Blanco's proclamation, doing away
with the concentration system in the four
western provinces, is believed to be q
shrewd political move, on the announce
ment of the intervention of the United
States on the ground of human nifty. Many
doubt the practicability of plan to make

Of the foreign relations committee and to
the attitude of the President. Concern
Ing the latter, Mr.. Chandler said:

I shall thank God when he reaches a

Mr. Alien of n eEoraska made the re-

in the course. of which he reviewed his
own record on the subject and declared
that ne stood now just where he had al

cussion, the sundry civil appropriation bill

by Mr. Bacon of Georgia concerning the
erection of temporary fortifications. He
laid that the resolution as now amended
met all objections that had been raised
against the original one. 1t is as follows:
THAT in case of emergency, when in the
opinion of the President the immediate
erection of any temporary fort or FORTH
cation is deemed important and urgent
such temporary fort or fertilization NAV
lie constructed upon written consent OF
the owner of the land upon which such

TILLMAN LOOKS For WAR.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt FavOrs
Offensive Operations.


Washington, March Ex-senator Tillman,
while at the navy department this morn
ing to confer with Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt and the chief of yards and
docks, expressed the opinion that war be-
tween the United States and Spain will
be declared by next Tuesday.
The Senator said he had no official in
formation on the subject, but he is con-
WINGED that the two nations had gone so
far that it will be almost impossible for
either of them to back down.
Senator Tillman has been under the i'm
preston that war is inevitable since the
100000 900 appropriation was made and re-
cent developments have strengthened his
warlike belief
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is also
of the opinion that war is unayoid-
able under the existing circumstances and
he advocates offensive rather than de-
fensive operations by the United States.
He is the one man close to the admins
tration who has insisted from the moment
the Maine was destroyed that war should
follow.
Senator Plat of New York, is among
those who have faith in the Presidents
ability to prevent war until hostiiities can
be fully justified. He claims that il would
be unwise to engage in war with Spain
while we have S12,000,O0O worth of war
supplies purchased in Europe, but yet I'M
delivered. If war must come, the New
York Senator says we should be prepared
TO carry the conflict to a successful con-
clusion. He would not sacrifice national
honor or submit to any insult from Spain
but he urges those persons who are clam
oring for immediate hostllities to consider
the terrible consequences.
