 WASHINGTON, March 29.--Corgress is bitterly opposed to the presidents peace and autonomy measure. In the Senate today Allen and Foraker both introduced resolutions demanding im- mediate freedom of Cuba, while Sena- tor Rawlins introduced resolution declaring war on Spain. Everybody was for immediate action, and when Mason, of Illinois, took the floor and made speech demanding instant satis- faction from Spain. excitement was at fever heat. "I am for war;" he de- clared, land we can no longer rest under the existing wrongs" It is thought today that within 46 hours war will be formally declared. The administration can not hold Congress.

It is evident from late WaShing'o on dispatches that the pacific character f the presidents message of transmittal and his efforts to avert war are accept, able to neither Congress or the nation, and realizing this the administration has reversed it's policy and made pre- emptory demand upon the Spanish government for the recognition of Cuban independence. The concensus of opinion which the administration has finally been compelled to recog' nize, is based upon the warlike attitude of Spain and the fact that every days delay by our government in taking vigorous action in the premises en- dangers the safety and honor of the nation. Republicans in Congress, no less than Democrats, insist upon i'm mediate intervention, and war appears imminent and can not be delayed many days. The American people have spoken and President Mckinley must obey the command.

GERONIMO CREST.

GERONIMO, Ariz., March %, '9S.
 EDITORS SILVER BELT: Knowing the desire of your readers for news from this point I have iotted down a few items of interest in regard to railroad and local happenings.
 The Midland Construction com. pany's camp is still located two miles west of Geronimo. More than three miles of tho grade will have been com pleted ere you go to press. Several switches have been laid at Gerouimo for the disposal of material to be used in construction. which is arriving daily. Five hundred ears of ties are expected here as soon as they can be moved.
 There have arrived during the past week for Ross & Ward, the con tractors, several carloads of implements and five cars of horses and mules. Ross < Wards contract calls for the construction of that portion of the railroad between the sub-agency aud the summit southeast of Globe. They established camp nt the sub agency Inst Monday, and about fifty men, Mexicans and Indians, were put to work clearing the ground of brush, stumps, etc. Today few scrapers were brought into use. The surveyors are bnsy daily along the line.
 A short time before the arrival of the southbound stage today railroad man named Casey dropped dead at the sub-agency railroad camp. The justice of the peace at Geronimo was notified and with coroner's jury repaired to the place and held an inquest over the remains.
 J. N. Porter arrived back here to- day from bis trip to Globe where he bought 1900 head of cattle. Mir. Porter forwarded from Geronimo to- day l50 head of beef cattle to San Carlos to supply the Indians. While

The Graham County Bulletin thinks our criticism of the Arizona Press Association uncalled for, and clain s that more good was accomplished for the editors of this territory than at any other meeting in the history of this organization. Criticism is oft. times more helpful to cause than etfusiye praise, and if the recent meet ing of the Press Association developed a determination among its members to rectify past mistakes and strive to nc complisb some concrete good for the publishers of the territory, it will be admitted, we think, that this gratify- ing result is due in great measure to the criticisms and connsels of news papers having independence euough to express their opinions. It is certain that in the eight years of its existence the Arizona Press Association has ac- complished almost nothing for it's own good, and during the lust session of the legislature showed its incapaciry to protect publishers from unjust legisla ton. We hope Brother Kelly's pre- diction of the benefit to be expected from the meeting in Tucson will be realized.

Dewey and Drake.

y Baltimore paper has found 4 par
allcl in history to Dewey's great vic
tory in Manila harbor in the victory
of Sir Frances Drake. British naval
officer. over Spanish fleet which oc-
CURED exactly 81 wears previous to
Dewcy's. In the spring of 1887
Spain fitted out a great armada to in
wade England. The naval forces were
gathered together in the harbor of
Cadiz, where gradually V more than 100
war and transport ships were assem-
bled and where large quantities of
war material were stored up. Eng
land, under the glorious reign of
Queen Elizabeth, had just begun to
become 4 powerful naval power, but
her fleet was still small and weak.
But Sir Francis Drake. when he heard
of the preparations of the Spaniards,
could not resist the temptation to
make a daring attempt. But Eng
land could give him no more
than four ships. Then Drake
at his own expense had fitted
out several other vessels and some
rich friends furnished him few more
and the necessary number of men.
Singularly enough, it was the lst of
May, as in Manila. when Drake car
ried his plan into effect. With a fleet
of % ships. most of them small. but
good fortune was with him, as 81
years later with the Yankee commo-
dorc. Dewey. Drake destroyed the
Spanish fleet and all the war material
he could not seize. Like Dewey. he
lost neither ship nor sailor, after
having done incalculable damage to
the enemy. and before long he be-
came the most celebrated naval hero
of his are and time.

THE word admiral is derived
through old French from the Arabic

In the thirteenth century admiral
in English meant simply any Saracen

and this use lasted three centuries.
