end and with the purpose Of securing
permanent peace and order there and
establishing by the free action of the
people thereof stable and independent

and believe as much good will be ac-

still more mild resolution, as evil

presidents message.

Jefferson recognized tho necessity for

Mr.. Rossell then spoke Of tho condition

If tine question OF autonomy for the peo.
pie OF HAVANA was national qua .stion,
he argued that the question Of autonomy

local question. Despite this fact people
were plotting to defeat autonomy hers.
The speaker insisted that the leading
issue is self-government, and If the privl.

II Washington, April 14.-Yesterday was
q day of momentous and exciting
events in congress. Not In years have
both houses been engaged in the con-
sideration Of such important business
Both committees having in charge for
eign affairs reported resolutions, the
tenor OF which is believed to mean a
war with Spain. The house passed the
resolutions reported by the majority
of its committee, and the senate began
a debate which may be protracted and
interesting.
In the early part of the day it seemed
chat there was possibility that unani-
NOUS action might be had In both
house and senate, but divisions arising
over the form and words Of the resolu-
tion could not be reconciled, and minor
ity reports were presented.
The senate was first to report its
resolution, and at the beginning of the
session Senator Davis. chairman of the
committee, presented the resolution
and a report which, in dealing with the
management of Cuban affairs by Spain
was vigorous and scathing denuncIa-
tion Of that country and its military
methods.
The purpose Of the delay on the part
OF some of the members of the senate
was shown in the objection to the con-

Sailors Anxlously Awaiting Orders to
Begin the Attack on Havana.
Key West, April 14.-If the public of
the north Is tired of hearing the same
old stories that "all is tranquil or
''tenson Is high" certainly the corre-
spondents here are equally tired of
writing them The arrival of the press
bulletins, plentiful and full Of news, are
the most decided events of the day.
Indeed. the news here is practically
confined to those statements.
The Detroit coaled yesterday and the
Mangrove and Wilmington are coaling
today. The target practice on the
monitors has been kept UP until. as
Captain Forsyth says, every old wreck
in the harbor has fallen apart from
concussiOn even if not hit.
First in Importance In the news sent
today, in everybody's estimation, is the
declaration by Spain that she will not
back DOVE. Captain Sigsbee's appoint
ment to command the st. Paul gives
great satisfaction, as does also the
Gazetting Of Commander Goodrich to
the St. Louis. 1t is believed here that
the flying squadron is only going out
for a short cruise or intends to lay oft
Charleston or Savannah. to be ready
for orders, and thus to he nearer Spain,
the Canaries, Cape Verde or the West
Indies. OF course speculation leads to
earnest argument-very interesting to
hear when conducted without reserve
as to the merits of the various ships of
the United States navy. All agree that,
fa+, nj
tors Puritan. Terror and Amphtrite,
with ships of their class. are most dan
gerous to an enemy. while safer for
those fighting on board.
News from Havana is awaited with
the deepest interest. Yesterday, when
the cable was temporarily interrupted
by causes liable to arise at anv time,
every one feared that the worst had
happened, and that Havana was In the
hands Of the volunteers and the Span
ish soldiery. Much relief was felt when
the interrupted communication was re-

Steamers st. Louis and st. Panl He-
come Naval Cruisers.

Washington, April 14.-Yesterday was
day Of stirring activity at the navy
and war departments. Anticipating de-
cisive action by congress. the machin-
cry Of the military and naval branches
of the government was early put In
motion, and events Of grave signifi-
cance followed in quick succession. In
every bureau the work of preparation
went on with an enthusiasm. The first
event to become known was the ac-
QUESTION by the navy department of
the American line steamships St. Louis
and St. Paul, and coupled with the an
nouncement was the information that
in all probability Captain Slgsbee
would be placed In command of one
and Captain Goodrich, president of the
naval war college, of the other.
The St. Paul sailed from Southamp-
ton April 8, for New York. and is due
at New York tomorrow. The St. Louis
arrived at Southampton yesterday. and
II she returns according to schedule she
will sail from Southampton on Satur-
day.
Early In the forenoon the naval
strategic board went into session and
called Consul General Lee into the con-
ference. The session was long and was
devoted TO thorough discussion of
offensive and defensive movements in
Cuban waters, General Lee being able
to give the board much valuable in
formation regarding the defenses Of
Havana.
Crowding close to the heels of these
events was the news that the flying
squadron had raised anchors and put
to sea. This fact caused intense ex-
citement in all quarters, and finally
elected the official statement that the
squadron had merely gone to sea for a
short practice cruise. There was an
evident anxiety on the part of the Of
ticials for news of the various Span
ish fleets, but up to a late hour no word
had been received Of any movements
in that quarter. 1t was rumored that
the Spanish vessels at Porto Rico had
sailed, but this could not be confirmed.
At the war department various de-
tails attendant upon the prearranged
plans for moving the troops were put
in shape, but matters in this regard are
SO well in hand that no new orders
were issued.
The navy department received word
yesterday that the Spanish armored
ship Pelayo had arrived at Cadiz.

THE FLYING SQUADRON.
Commodore Schley Wants to See Any"
thing That Can Whip Them.

Virginia Beach. Va. April H.-Com-
modore Schley started to move the fly
Ing squadron to sea precisely at 2:S0
o'clock yesterday afternoon. and by
dark would have been many miles from
land but for the fact that the Minne-
apolis fouled her chain and wasted over
two hours in efforts to free 1t. Finally,
when near Cape Henry. the Minneap-
oils not having Joined the squadron,
Commodore Schley sent the Columbia
back to Fort Monroe to tell the Mime
spolls that she could find the rest Of
the squadron IL miles east of Cape
Henry. where they would wait her ar
rival Beyond this fact none of the
officers or men on board the Brooklyn
were aware Of her destination. and
Commodore Schiey declined to say
what her mission was. The order to
the Minneapolis, however. discredits the
statement given out at Washington
that the vessels are off for practice
cruise. The squadron presented a most
imposing picture when 1t finally got to-
gether. and Commodore Schley said. as
he looked back on them from the
Brooklyn's bridge: There's good lot
OF fighters for you. I'd like to see any
thing that can whip them"
