POSSIBILITIES MUST CLOSE.
This Government Will No Longer
Tolerate Conditions in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, March 26-It can
be stated on positive information that
this Government will, if indeed it has
not already done So inform Spain that
the conditions now existing in Cuba
have become intolerable to the people
of this country, and that hostilities on
the island must close This policy is
in direct line with the views of the
President as expressed in his last mes
sage to Congress on December 9th.
In that message he said: THE in
structions given TO our new Minister
to Spain before his departure for his
post directed him to impress upon that
Government the sincere wish Of the
United States to tender its aid towards
the ending of the war in Cuba by
reaching a peaceful and lasting re-
suit. Just and honorable alike to Spain
and the Cuban people. These instruc-
tons reiterated the character and
duration of the conflict, the widespread
losses it entails the burdens and re-
straints it imposes upon us, with con-
slant disturbance of national interests
and the injuries resulting from an in
definite continuance of this state of
things.
the slightest idea of humiliation to
Spain could attach and, indeed, pre-
else proposals were withheld to avoid
embarrassment to that Government"
After reading the substance of
SPANS reply, received on October I'D
last, the President says: 1.-THE immedi
ate amelioration of existing conditions
under the new administration of Gu
Tod
withal the disturbance and occasion of
any change of attitude on the part of
the United States"
Since the delivery of this message
evidences have accumulated showing
beyond question that the promise made
in behalf of the new administration
to relieve the conditions in Cuba have
not been fulfilled or accomplished. On
the contrary, the evidence which has
reached the President shows conclu
sively that the situation is daily be-
coming more serious. In view of these
facts this Government has decided to
take, if it has not already taken, def
mite action by informing Spain that,
while disowning any other object than
| that dictated by a sense of honor and
justice to stricken and starving peo-
pie, it must insist first that hostilities
be brought to a speedy termination.
So far as known no specific date has
been fixed within which the war must
be terminated, but it is believed that
it is the purpose of the Administra
ton not to permit of any unnecessary
| or extended delay. 1t is known in high
official circles that many of the people
! highest in authority in Spain, includ
ing members of the Ministry, are eX-
| tremely weary of the conflict in Cuba,
and would willingly accede to any rea-
sonable terms for a settlement of the
whole question by granting to Cuba her
independence on an indemnity basis.
The opposition to this plan comes from
the factions opposed to the present
Administration, who demand exterme
measures, if necessary, to retain con-
troll of the island. In view Of these
conditions, what would be the answer
to our demand cannot be ,foretold

PHILIPPINE REVOLUTION.
Insurgents Rallying for Another
Attack.

SAN FRANCISCO, March pa let
ter received in this city by a bust
ness house that has recently had occa-
sion to ship goods to Manila, gives some
interesting details of affairs on the
islands.
1.-The revolution in the islands," says
the writer, sis by no means suppressed.
The rebels have withdrawn their forces
temporarily, and are enjoying what
practically amounts to self government,
in provinces distant from Manila, where
the Spanish trooper seldom dares to
venture.
1.-THE Spanish could easily have been
driven out of the islands had the rebels
been well-equipped with modern weap-
ons of war. but the insurgent forces
were unable to raise sufficient funds to
purchase arms from Europe in sufficient
number to arm more than ten per cent.
of their fighting strength. Even against
this poorly equipped and somewhat
disorganized band the Spanish Govern
ment has not been able to do much more
than hold its own.
During the Iull that followed the So
called surrender of the rebel forces near
Manila wholesale arrests were made,
the prisoners being seized at their
homes in the night, and as little pub
licity as possible being given to the oc-
currence. Meantime the Spanish forces
moved against what was thought to be
a number Of rowing bands of insur-
gents. The Government troops met
with overwhelming defeat, and soon
after the news was received that the
United States was preparing to inter-
vene in Cuba, and the insurgents gained
new hone. The forces are rallying for
another attack on the Government
troops, and the revolutionists promise
to be as aggressive as ever

Two Hundred Miners BIOckaded at
Port vaIdGs,
Unable to Reach Copper River by TraVers-

Several Men Lose Their Bearings
and Fears Entertained That
They Were Frozen to Death in
the Billiards Prevailing-Four
Men Drowned at Dutch Harbor.

TACOMA, March ga letter from
Henry Jameson, who left for Cop
per River two months ago, states that
at least 200 men are blockaded at Port
Valdes and wholly unable to reach
Copper River by traversing the Valdes
glacier, as had been expected. He says
the glacier is intersected by wide crew
asses, many of which are supposed to
be half mile deep, and it is impossible
to cross them.
1t is reported that several men who
have started out over the glacier have
lost their bearings. When Jameson
wrote a number of men were still miss
ing, and fears were entertained that
they were frozen to death, as billiards
had been prevailing

Outlook for a Flood in Ohio Valley
DishearfeninC

CINCINNATI, March 26-To-night
the outlook for a great food in the
Ohio River is almost disheartening.
The river at noon to-day passed the
fifty-fve-foot mark here, ten feet
above the danger line. A light rain
this afternoon transformed tonight in
to heavy rain, and has caused ap-
prehension of a flood record above the
disastrous one of "a. All depends up
on the extent and severity of this rain
storm now coming from the southwest.
Street railroads are flooded between
Newport and Dayton, and between
Lexington and Covington, KY. River
navigation is embarrassed here be-
cause of flooded landings.
AS predicted in these reports late last
night, the Grand Central depot has
been flooded so that no trains have
entered it since noon. Trains entering
that depot all have emergency stations
out of which they are running.
AT o'clock tonight the Ohio River
was rising at all points from Gallipolis
TO Cairo. AT 10 tonight it was sta
tionary at Gallipolis, but rising rap
idly at all points from Catlettsburg to
Cairo. At Cincinnati tonight it was
800 feet, and still rising one-tenth of
foot hourly. This looks very much
like sixty feet will be reached by Mon
day, a contingency of an alarmingly
greater rise, conditioned upon the ex-
tent and duration of the present rain
storm

A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
BEFALLS THE CREW OF A SEAL

ST. JOHNS On. F.), March 26.-The

From the circumstances of the disas-
