AT THE SPANISH CAPITAL.
No Further Negotiations Will be
Opened in That Quarter.

MADRID, April s, ) p. ma dis
patch from Washington just received
saye no negotiations have been initiated
there, and that none will be under
taken abroad except through General
Woodford, who is instructed to negoti-
ate only on the basis of the note pre-
sented at the recent conference, namely,
for the immediate cessation of hostili-
ties and furnishing of aid to the recon
centrados.

not to assume a Stiff-necked attitude,
since their intervention may be advan-
tageous to Spain. 1t thinks the key
OF the situation is in Senor Sagasta' S
hands, and although the "Epoca" is the
paper which has fought most consist
emily lately against peace, it will say
that the country does not want war un-
less forced into conflict.

their reserve respecting yesterdays S
Cabinet meeting But it is believed to
have been occupied principally with a
telegram with Cardinal Rampolla, Pa
pal Secretary of State, relative to papal
action.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the discussion was
very animated between those favoring
and those opposed to further attempts
at mediation or negotiation.
Senior Moret, Secretary of the Colonies,
energetically sustained his conciliatory
views, and was listened to with great
attention.
The council terminated after agree
ing as to the draft of a response to be

SPAIN MUST NOT BE ALARMED AT
SINKING OF WARSHIPS..
MADRID. April S.-General C0rrea,
the Spanish Minister of War, in his in
terview of yesterday, said;
Spain must not be alarmed, if war
is declared, at the sinking of Spanish
Warships. What we must at all costs
avoid is q Spanish warship striking her
colors to the American flag. She should
rather explode her magazines. l wish
to God Spain had not a warship from
Cuba to the Peninsula. We could then
say to America: We are here, meet

THE ISSUE MADE UP.
Members Of Cabinet Agree That.
War is Apparently Unavoidable.

WASHINGTON. April S.-The Cab
met meeting to-day was uneventful-
No kilograms of any Importance had
been received since yesterday from
Minister Woodford or Consul-General
Lee and there was said to be no rea~
son to expect any in the near future.
The session was devoted entirely to a
general discussion of affairs, but no
conclusion was reached on any point.
The situation can be stated, on the
authority of a number of the members
of the Cabinet, to be unchanged since
yesterday There are no new develop
ments and none evidently are looked
for before Monday at least. It is stated
that Attorney General Griggs Will
leave for his home in New Jersey at
o'clock this afternoon to remain un-
til Sunday evening.
During the Cabinet meeting an Asso-
ciated Press telegram was handed to
the President, stating in effect that all
cipher kilograms hereafter sent out OF
Havana must first be translated in the
presence of the press censor. 1t was
INTERPRETED a sanplying to Government,
as we'll as other messages. This infor-
nation was received with expressions
of indignation, but as General Lee will
leave Havana tomorrow the order
seems to have come too late to be of
much service to the Spaniards or much
annoyance to this Government.
There is now no difference of opinion
among members of the Cabinet on the
question of the final of the present COM
plcations All agree that war appar-
entity is unavoidable. AT to-day's Cab
met meeting the question of what
course this Government would pursue
in case of a surrender on the part of
Spain was discussed. Events have
moved forward rapidly within the last
few days, and all other questions than
those involving war have been passed
over The, is;aa has been made up,
and present indications, it was stated,
point only to open hostilities within
the next few days.

Lee TO Be Called Before Senate
Foreign Relations Committee.
Said the CORsuI-GeneraI VIII Make Some
Startling Disclosures.
Expected to Supply the Missing
Link in the Testimony, Relating
to the Extinguishing of Electric
Lights at Havana at the Instant
OF the Explosion.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Represen-
tative Lorimer of Illinois is authority
for the statement that General Lee will
make some startling disclosures before
the Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions when he arrives here regarding
the conspiracy to blow up the Maine.
1t was announced yesterday that Gen.
eral Lee would be called before the
committee, but the nature of the testi-
mony expected from him was not dis
closed
L understand that General Lee is to
supply the missing link in the testi-
mony," said Mr.. Lorimer. My infor-
nation is that Captain Sigsbee is in
possession of the facts, but does not
feel at liberty to give them until the
person who gave them to him releases
him from the secrecy imposed. That
person, l understand, is General Lee
1t is said that the information Gen.
eral Lee is expected to testify to re-
lates to the eXtinguishment of the cleo
trio lights in Havana at the instant of
the blowing up OF the Maine. Electrical
experts have said that if the lights went
out in Havana at the time of the ex-
plOsion it would be conclusive evidence
that the mine under the Maine must
have been fired from a shore electrical
connection. Captain Sigsbee, before
the Foreign Relations Committee, said
he had information that the lights had
gone out, but did not think it advisable
to give the name of his informant while
he was in Cuba. His informant is said
to be General Lee.

would be undesirable from all

message would be undesirable from all
points of view
Still, it is recognized that there is a
sharp line of difference between the
two elements in the Senate, one of
the independence of Cubans sustained
by armed intervention. and the other
for supporting the position of the Pres
ident for Intervention alone. There is
a determined effort to harmonize these
elements, and some headway is being
made on the lines of an assertion in
general terms of the right of Cubans
to their independence without recog-
nizing the present Government. The
movers in this direction have received
some encouragement and claim to have
promise of votes for this compromise
which they could not get for interven-
ton alone.
Meantime the Committee on Foreign
Relations is going forward, taking tes-
timony to strengthen it's reports in fa-
vor of it's position favorable to inter
vention and the recognition of the pres
ent Government of Cuba, and. appar-
emily, with no intention of changing its
form of report or it's resolution.
The committees report as now pre-
pared will deal with two questions, the
Maine disaster and the condition of
destitution in Cuba taking the position
that the Spanish policy of concentra-
ton of on-combatants without sup
plying them with the necessaries of life
is unprecedented in its barbarity and
that the system still holds, and as to
the Maine explosion that it was the
result of Spanish treachery, and as
such was an act of war.
Among the Senators seen to-day who
expressed themselves in opposition to
any modification of the resolution to
be presented by the Committee on For
eign Relations were Thurston, Petit
grew, Allen and Mason.
1--WE cannot" said Senator Mason,
"agree to any change that would rob
the present Cuban Government of the
victory which they have so nearly
won''
'In my opinion, a set of men who
have maintained themselves as the
Cuban insurgents have, in opposition
to the entire Spanish arms, deserve
our fullest Endorsement" said Senator
Allen adding that he would oppose any
effort to curtail their rights.
Senator Thurston said: IF We should
intervent without recognizing the pres
ent Government of Cuba we should
place the United States in a position
of responsibility to all other Powers
and to the citizens of all other coun-
tries for any damage done them in
case of war"
Senator Lodge of the Committee on
Foreign Relations said to-day that he
thought the committee would not report
before Tuesday. He alsc expressed the
opinion that the Senate would dispose
of the resolution reported at ono sit
ting.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
President Mckinley Bearing Up
Well Under the Heavy Strain.

WASHINGTON, April Spending
the actual elimination of the diplomat
ic developments now rapidly approach
ing a head the Administration is stead
tasty and consistently avoiding all pos
sible outward evidence of the crisis.
The Cuban message will be placed be-
fore Congress next Monday, unless
some radical and unexpected event
should happen to change the firmly
fixed intention of the President, and
meantime the evacuation of the Amer
lean citizens from Cuba will continue,
and General Woodford will arrange his
affairs so as to leave at a moments
notice.
The President shows somewhat the
effect of the great strain on him, but
on the whole bears up bravely. Last
night he succeeded in retiring at II
o'clock To-day he was up early and
enjoyed a hearty breakfast.
There was a conspicuous absence of
distinguished visitors to confer with
the President in the early hours APP
parently it was realized fully that the
Government of the United States had
fixed it's course and that efforts to in
fiuence the Executive We're out of the
question, Even Assistant Secretary
Day did not make his a lNearance until
comparatively late in the day All
this outward calm contrasted strongly
with the rush of the past month.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, a
member of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, and Representative Fenton of
Ohio and Brucker of Michigan formed
the afternoon contingent of Congress
sional callers to see the President. 1t
was regular Cabinet day. and the
knowledge of this fact helped to keep
away the crowd and make the quietest
forenoon at the Executive Mansion for
many days. The members Of the Cab
| met even were a little slow in as
sembling. Prior to the meeting Cabinet
| members stated that there had been
no material developments in the stu
alton, and that the work of prepara-
/ ton is steadily going ahead
The entire day passed with the same
unusual absence of callers that had
marked the forenoon. Assistant Secre-
/ tary Day was with the President for
over an hour in the afternoon. but when
he left stated that there had been moth
| ing new, not even in the way of fresh
communications from Madrid and Ha-
vana. He said that Minister Woodford
had not communicated with his home
Government to-day, and that no in
structions as to when he should leave
Madrid had been issued by this Givern-
ment.

No Change in the Usual tRoutine OF

HAVANA, April S.-Everything is

during the past week or more. Accord
ing to outward appearances, there is
absolutely no change in the usual rou-
tine of life in happy, tropical city.

the attitude of Consul General Lee. de-
cIines to believe that he has sent word
to the papers of the United States that
the Americans in Havana are in dan
ger. The article, which is very fair,
says that General Lee represents the
United States, and not Spain, and that
this fact must be remembered. AS for
dangers, La Lucha" reminds its read
ers that General Lee was here during
the demonstration last January, and
freely walked the streets unmolested.
This morning Military Governor Aro-

SENATE COMMITTEE.
Informally Discuss the Methods of
Procedure in Cuban Question.

WASHINGTON, April S.-The Sem
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
had no regular meeting to-day, but in
formally discussed the Cuban situation.
While there is the appearance of calm
ness everywhere at the Capitol. yet
the gravity of the situation is realized.
No one seems to doubt that war is in
evitable. Discussion now is largely di-
rected toward the methods of proceed
ure, and there are even now theories
advanced as to how Cuba shall be gov
erned. These discussions relate to the
form of the declaration by Congress
and the present conditions in Cuba.
together with what the condition will
be after Spain has been expelled and
are participated in by Senators who
are charged with the responsibility of
action.
From those best informed it is learn
ed that in the opinion of leading Sem
atorS, whatever action is taken. fore
ible intervention by the United States
will make this country responsible for
the future government of the island,
and that we must make it safe for life
and property.

ban Legation, and 3. j. Guerra, repre-
senting the Cuban Junta were heard
by the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations to-day relative to the status
of the Cuban Government
The principal movement about the
Senate at present is to find an expedi-
| tious method of doing whatever is to
be done in the way of declaring the
sense of the Government as to the
proper procedure In settling the CIIba =,

that much delay or long debate in Con-
