AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
Representative Faris, Russell Harri-
son and others Call on President.

ANA
son and others Call ON President.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-A light clear
sky brought out visitors to the White House
full force to-day. The President had scarce
ly entered the dining room before the first
of them, Senator Burrows, of Michigan,
arrived and he had to wait some time for a
conference. Vice President Hobart walked
over from his home opposite on Lafayette,
square, and was with the President by $50
o'clock. Within half an hour afterward the
congressional contingent began calling to
confer on army commissions and other mat
ters. Senator Quay. of Pennsylvania; Sen
ator Baker, of Kansas; Representative
Grosvenor, of Ohio; Representatives Curtis,
of Kansas; Cromwell, of Ohio; Moon and
BroWnlow, of Tennessee, were some of the
early callers.
Senator Allison and Senator Gear and
Representatives Dolliver and Hager, Of
Iowa urged the President to make an adj
ditional allotment of volunteer troops to
Iowa. There were already, they insisted a
little less than four regiments and they
wanted the number raised to the full four
regiment limit. The President was unable
to pledge an increase and at his suggestion
they subsequently conferred with Secretary
Alger.
Representative Faris, of Indiana, and
Harrison's son, had a conference urg-
ing the appointment of General Nc
kee, in command of the Indiana
State militia, for a brigadier gen.
eralship. Senator Kyle. of South Dakota,
urged the appointment of Captain Sturgis,
now at Fortress Monroe, to be assistant adj
jutant general of his division. senator
Lindsay. of Kentucky, insisted that his
State should be accorded at least one
more regiment in her quota of volunteers.
Representative Dolliver, of Iowa, filed with
the President a petition fcr the appoint
ment Of Gen. T.. Russ Lincoln, now in
spector general of the Iowa State guard, as
a brigadier general. Numerous other APP
plicationA were filed by Congressman. The
President uniformly refused to pledge any
appointment, referring the members in
practically every instance to the secretary
of war. This practice extended even to
some Of his personal friends. Several per-
SONS, however, were given to understand
their appointments would be personally con-
sidered and were likely to be made.
The President read with keen interest the
dispatches announcing the arrival of the
Paris at New York and expressed consid-
cradle relief that the Atlantic liner was
safe in port. Another source of qualification
to the President was the tone of the English
press as shown ir the London dispatches.

WAR REVENUE BILL SAFE.
Collapse of the Proposed FiIibuster-
ing Movement i'm Senate.

Collapse of the FiIibuster-
ing Movement i'm Senate.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April &.-As a sum total
of Democratic and Populistic caucusing on
a plan to block war-revenue legislation in
the Senate every senator is left free to do
as he pleases. This means the total col
lapse of the scheme of obstruction, which
was launched only a few short days ago
by Chairman Jones and a few of his adj
miring free-silverite friends. Some of the
leaders who had been Boosting that they
would talk for days in opposition to the
bond authorization and in favor of various
amendments are saying to-day that they
will be able to compress their remarks
within half an hour. Such being the case,
it looks as though the Senate might, after
all, reach a vote within a week after the
bill is reported from the finance committee.
Whatever disposition existed to block the
passage of the bill by obstructive tactics
has disappeared. The free-silVerites, how
ever, will insist on going on record against
the bond feature and possibly in favor of
any income tax and seigniorage coinage.
Two weeks should be time enough, as affairs
are now shaped, to enable the war-revenue
bill to reach the President. After that Con-
gress will have to appropriate such money
as may be asked for the conduct of the war.
The Republican members of the Senate
committee on finance were in conference to-
day over the war revenue bill. They de-
cided definitely to call a meeting of the
committee for Monday prior to the refer
ence of the bill, despite the protest of the
Democrats. and to press the matter to a
speedy consideration as possible both in
committee and in the Senate. Some Repub-
lican senators have suggested that the bill
should be amended so as to shift more of
the proposed tax for the conduct of the
war on the shoulders of the owners of
wealth. but no policy looking to this end has
been agreed upon.

OUR PORK LIBELED AGAIN.
Germany May Issue a Sweeping De-
cree Against American Meats.

BERLIN. April 30.-The Prussian Diet. on
Wednesday,, exhaustively debated the cues
ton of American meat imports. Members
characterized American meat inspection as
a hoax. They said the meats were affected
with trichinosis and preserved IN acidz
which were ruinous to health, and they
pledged themselves in favor of the total ex-
clasfon. The minister of agriculture, Baron
Won Hammerstein-Lexten then announced
that an imperial decree to that effect, which
would be valid throughout German. was TO
be passed. 1t is understood that a bill to
this effect will be presented to the Reich
STAG and passed before adjournment.

No Intervention Desired. Except It Rec
ognizss Independence.
NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Cuban
junta, through its counsel, Horatio 8.
Rubens, has made an important state
ment. 1t declared in the most un-
equivocal language that the Cuban pro-
visional government and the Cuban
army would reject absolutely interven-
ton by the United States unless it
should be preceded by recognition of
the independence of the Cuban repub-
lie; that if the United States persist
ed in intervening without recognize
ing Cuban independence, the Gu.
ban government and military forces
would refuse to cooperate, and that if
United States troops should be sent to
Cuba upon the basis Of Intervention,
without recognition, the Cuban army
would in the last resort, turn its arms
against the United States.
The statement made by Mr.. Rubens
was preceded by the following:
"The declaration I am about ia
make is official. for I am the legal rep
resentative of the junta, and I know
their unalterable convictions and posi-.
tions. 1t is in line with the utterances
of the delegate of the Cuban pro.
visional government to the United
States, Tomas Estrada Palma, when
the suggestion was made that this gov.
eminent should counsel the Cubans
and If necessary coerce them to an ac.
ceptance of autonomy"

which confront Spain.

VATICAN HOPES AGAIN.

Renewed Belief That the Pope Can Settle

LONDON. April THE Pail Mall Ga.
zette publishes the following dispatch
from Rome:
The vatican is the scene Of the mt
most activity. Distinguished person
ages are coming and going and tele-
grams are pouring in. The hopes Of .
solution Of the Hispano.American diff
ficulty through the pope have been re-
vived. The pope is in direct communi-
cation with the queen regent, but his
approaches to President Mckinley were
made indirectly. The vatican people
are sanguine of an armistice. They
appear to base their belief of peace
full solution upon the fact that the sup
posed unpreparedness of the United
States for war will make Washington
cautious in going to extremes.
