SENATE MAY SIR IN SECRET.
Plan to Have it Act Contemporaries
eOusIy With the Committee.

Plan to Have IL Act Contemporary
eousIy With the Committee.
Washington April l0-The week In the
Senate probably will be given entirely to
the Cuban question.
The Presidents message is counted upon
to arrive soon after assembling al noon
tomorrow. 1t will be referred promptly to
present understanding is that no report
will be made by the committee before
Tuesday. The report may in case of the
development of radical differences I'm the
committee be delayed to even later day.
There is a decidedly strong disposition on
the part of many of the senator's who are
rot members of the committee to have the
Senate as a body take up the subject of
shaping the committees report contem-
poraueously with the committee, and st as
not improbable that a secret session of the
Senate may be held tomorrow with this
purpose in view. The purpose of this
movement is as has been frequently stat
ed, to secure as near an approach to har-
mony in the Senate as possible and 1t is
believed that this can be best accomplish
ed by having the Senate agree upon the
form of the resolution before it goes to the
Senate for action.
The present tendency in the Senate is
to conflne the congressional Illumination to
a declaration for armed Intervention, leav-
ing the recognition of independence 90
come later and it now appears probable
that the foreign relations committee will
report in favor of this course, though not
without some dissent. If the meeting of
the committee to be held before the re-
ceipt of the message should develop that
such action can be secured from the com
mtiee and in way to insure harmonious
action on the report in the Senate, then
there probably would be no occasion for a
discussion of the form of the resolution
before taking up the real question at issue.
Senators, as a rule, show a very slight
inclination for other subjects, and the
chances are that if the Senate does not
adjourn soon after receiving the message,
the Cuban question Will come up in some
shape tomorrow. Yet il is barely possible
that the whole matter will be deferred I'M
Ill the foreign relations committee can
make its report.
A resolution scarcely can get through
the Senate without arousing some discus
sion, as there are senators who are OPP
posed 10 any action at all, whether for
intervention or Independence. Senator
White of California is one of these, and
he will probably discuss any resolution re-
ported There are several senators who
now say they will insist upon the recogni-
ton OF independence In any action taken,
and that they will be heard from in oppo-
sition to any measure that does not pro-
vide for this.
If opportunity appears the sundry civil
appropriation bill will be finally disposed
of, and it is possible that the naval ap-
preparation bill will be reported from COM
mittee and taken up later in the week.

PLOT TO KILL LEE.
story AHoat That Cubnns Were Back
of If


Havana, via Key West, April 1O.-Hav-
ana is guarded more closely than ever, the
Arolas battalion being posted around the
limits of vidano, the swell suburb of the
city.
Within the last two days number of
Cubans have been arrested and are now
confined in the Cabanas fortress charged
with various offenses. Some say the pris-
oners have been engaged in plot to as
sassinate United States Consul General
Lee, and others assert that they have been
acting as spies for the United States gov
eminent.
There is no doubt that the Spanish gov
eminent is more alarmed that it has ever
been before, and is taking every precau-
ton.
There are reasons to believe that there
was a plot to kill Gen. Lee, and that it
was allowed to come to head by the
Spanish detectives in order that they
might get credit for defeating it.
All sorts of rumors were in circulation
yesterday The real impression among
newspaper men was that Gen. Lees with
drawal was a shrewd move intended to
show Spain that the United States means
business.
In the palace kilograms were shown say
ing that the Queen Regent had agreed
upon the intervention of Russia, would ac-
cept $3.50, 100000 for Cuba, end the war and
withdraw her flag.

Alleged to Believe Armistice Puts
M'KinIey in Difficult Position.
London, April II, a. m.-The Rome
correspondent of the Daily Mail telegraph
ing Sunday, says:
1.-THE Pope left instructions that he
should even be awakened when Spain's re-
ply came Accordingly during his siesta,
Cardinal Rampolla went to his apart
ments with the welcome news of an armis-
tice from Madrid. The pontiff declares
this one of the greatest pleasures of his
later years, and expressed a confident hope
that he will succeed in wardlng off war
1.-THE Pope telegraphed personally to the
Queen Regent and Senior Sagasta to-day
CSunday) to convince them that IT was to
Spain's interest to concede the armistice
without delay and without conditions in
order to put President Mckinley in such a
position as to make it difficult for him to
decide what course to take.
eat the vatican it is said that the
armistice will have the effect of moder-
ating President McKinley's message and
Of inducing Congress to give him greater
freedom of action. 1t is also pointed out

including Great Britain, have supported

would never give that before leaving the
ministry, because it would be the same
thing as recognizing the belligerency of
the rebels.
THE government has granted the
wishes of the powers that we should cease
hostilities during the delay which Gen.
Blanco judges prudent for preparing peace.
Il acceded TO a cessation of hostlities.
because to refuse the wishes of the pow
ers would be to divorce Spain from the
world.
IF 1 left the cabinet 1 should be placing
my successor in an awkward position.
Gen. Blanco will probably publish a
proclamation of truce and also another
Offering -indulgent terms during the cessa-
ton of hostlities.
IF, during this period, there are i'm
portant submissions and the United States
withdraws its ships from the neighborhood
of Cuba and the Philippines, all will be
well and peace will soon be reached.
Otherwise, the Cuban war will continue
and the powers will be obliged to demand
that the United States maintain absolute
neutrality and enforce a dissolution of the
filibustering committee in New York.
The armistce is not to prevent the
Spanish government continuing its mill
tary preparations and placing the penin-
sula, the Canaries, the Balearic Islands
and Porto Rico in state of defense"
Eel impartial says that during The cabi-
net council a minister reminded his col
leagues that the powers, before approach
ing Spain, approached the United States,
getting President Mckinley TO delay his
message to Congress and Gen. Woodford
to withdraw the ultimatum.
Ell Liberal says that effective military
measures were taken last evening in this
city in view of possible disturbances; that
the garrison officers slept at the barracks
and that the government officers were pro
tected with additional guards.

COAL FOR THE CANARIES.
Spain Trying to Rush in "a Supply
From This Country.


Philadelphia April 10.-The British
steamship Hampstead has been chartered
to carry 2.S00 tons of coal to the Cape
Verde Islands. the present rendezvous of
the Spanish. torpedo fotilla, and the cargo
will be loaded either at this port or Nor
folk. Heretofore all coal shipments for
these islands have been supplied from
Cardiff
Other shipments are rapidly to follow the
Hampstead's cargo in order that the naval
station will be we'll stocked before the
commencement of hostilties, when such
shipment would be stopped
Speaking of the shipment of coal to the
Canary Islands, a well known shipper said
that it had nothing to do with the war,
but acknowledged that great haste must
be used, so as to get out before the decla-
ration of war is made. He thinks the ship
ment is due to the fact that the Welsh
miners are again on strike. and said that
within the next few weeks coal will be
shipped to Marseilles and a number of
other ports on the Mediterranean.

SPRING ADVICE,
Some Timely Hints for All Who Are
Going Through This Trying Sea-
(Scienufic Nagazinel

(Scentifc Magazine)
Be careful of your diet You do net
need heavy food such as you require dur
ing the winter.
Spring may be beautiful, but it is
treacherous. Do not let it deceive you into
a cold, fever, malaria or pneumonia.
Do not throw off your winter faunals
too early. 1t is better to suffer a little in
convenience than to take cold.
If you feel tired, feverish or overheated,
do not rush off and take Spring medi-
clnes." Cool yourself down and in this
way help your system and purify your
blood
II you feel hot and thirsty do not drink
large quantities of water or other Tong"
drinks. 1t is much better to take little
pure whiskey and water which will
queneh the thirst, tone the system, and
fortify against disease.
Remember that only pure whiskey
should ever be taken into the system. and
that the leading chemists and scientists
of the present day unite in declaring that
Duffy's Pure Malt is absolutely the purest
and best.
Do not permit any druggist or grocer to
persuade you to take something else"
Bear in mind that~this is a medicinal whis-
key and far superior for this reason, while
it costs no more.
If you use proper care and follow the
advice above given you may hope TO so
through the spring in good shape.

he Met by This Country.
London, April Il, 6 a. m.-The Times
commenting editorially upon the latest
phase of the situation says: 1--WE cannot
doubt that had the Sagasta government
taken this truly statesmanlike and patri-
otto action a little earlier it would have
led to a solution honorable to Spain and
satisfactory to America. Even now, de-
spite the ominous tone of our New York
correspondent, we find it hard to believe
that so signal an advance on The part Of
Spain will not meet with some response
from Washington.
IT is to be earnestly hoped that nothing
in President McKinley's message will
CRATE needlessly upon the feelings of
Spain or enhance Senior sagasta's diff
cultes."
The Daily Mail says: THE armistice i'm
plies a recognition of the insurgents as
belhgerents, and it is, therefore, very
notable step, IL not too late.
The Daily Graphic thinks that unless
the powers are convinced that the Cuban
insurgents will accept an armstice and
the United States is ready TO give auton
omy fair trial, their proceedings are no
more creditable to their hearts than to
their heads.

EDITOR SCORES LEE.
Havana's Bitterest Paper Lives Up to
Its Record.

Its Record.
Havana, Aprl 10.-El Diario de la Ma
rlna published an article to-day under the
caption, Eat Last He Has Cone" in which
it attacks Gen. Lee, saying he converted
the American legation in Madrid into a
club for persons out of sympathy with
Spain, or belonging to an annexationtst
syndicate; that he informed his govern
ment falsely Of the failure OF autonomy
and misrepresented the causes OF the
Maine explosion.
The Madrid authorities have cabled Gen.
Blanco that the six European powers on
the request of the Pope have brought their
influence to bear on the United States in
the interest of peace, and that the conces-
sions are projected IN the form of an arm
istice or a suspension of hostilities to IA
cilitate a peaceful settlement
The news Of the armistice has produced
an excellent effect among business men
and will help to confirm values.
Gen. Blanco has been ordered from Mad
rid TO establish an armlstice and he. In re-
turn, has asked for further instruction."
