TORPEDO FLOTlLLA AT

Report That They Had Reached
Porto Rico Was Il Madrid
Mistake.

Madrid, April 3-The statement cab.ed
last night that the torpedo hotilla OF
Spain had arrived at Porto Rico was
taken from newspaper here. lnvestiga-
tion shows announcement to be errons
eous. The Spanish tlotlla has arrived
at the Cape de Verde Islands, and it is
said, will proceed after coaing.
As it has taken the tlotilIa nine days
to make the Cape de Verde Islands. from
the Canaries., which they left on March
a, it should take it about twenty-six
days to reach Porto Rico, surprising the
hotilla was able to coal and start again
today. which is unlikely. and if it pre-
served the same average ofspced through
out the voyage.
WAsIIINGroN, ID. c., April ,. - The
announcement that the Spanish torpedo
tlotilla was at the Cape de Verde Islands
instead OF Porto Rico was the most en-
c0llrasny news the Navy Department
has received in IA week. There is doubt
even now as to the accuracy of the in
formation, but if true it gives opportunity
to prevent them from reaching Porto
Rico in time to make serious trouble.
The departure OF the Vizcaya and the
Oquendo from Havana is viewed as n
grave and significant incident. Captain
Sigsbee has reported to the Navy
Department that while he was in
Havana great haste was manifested in
cquipping these ships and the AIphonso

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
IS NEARLY COMPLETED
Will Stand As One Man to Drive
Spanish Tyranny From
Our Shores.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-The President
has had no communication with Spain
regarding the Cuban situation since the
receipt Of the reply OF the Spanish
Government. Thursday night. Neither
does he intend to reopen the question.
He has accepted Spain's reply as final, !,
and unless the Madrid Government has
some new proposition to make between
now and Monday, looking to the ac-
ceptance of the demands heretofore made
by him, the question will be considered
closed, and there, will be no change in
the present program, which, in the
present temper of Congress, means
recognition, intervention and war.
1t will furnish at once the excuse and
the justification for the action which this
Government will take toward driving
the Spaniard out Of America. 1t will
enter into details of the indignities and
insults perpetrated by Spain upon
American citizens and upon the Amcri-

Minister Woodi0rd Cables from
Madrid that Sagasta Has No
Suggest ions to Offer.

WASnIyGToN, April 3.-Minister Wood.
ford tonight cables from Madrid that the
Sagasta Ministry "las no suggestions to
Offer This means that Spain spurns the
ultlD'atulh Of this government, and does
not seek pacific results from dipo-
macy.
The die is cast. and at midnight to-
night all hopes OF peace have gone gim-
mering. President Mckinley will not
waver in his determination. Hc will
not break his pledge to the representa-.
tives Of the people.
The administration has done its best
to avert the strife. and even until Minis
ter Woodfod was heard from tonight
President Mckinley expressed hopes of
good news from Madrid, news which
would continue peace.
The prevailing opinion is that the
committee will ultimately report favor
ably the Foraker resolution providing
for u recognition Of the independence Of
Cuba. with armed intervention by this
country.
But 1t Is not true. as rllmOrtd, that the
committee has officially decided to re-
port that resolution. The committee
will meet ut ~ O'clock tomorrow morn
ing, and then Chairman Davis will in.
form the committee positively when the
message OF the President is to M m.
ceived. After that the committee will
outline its course Of procedure.
While the Foraker resolution will re
made the basis and the principal part nf
the measure which will he reported to
Congress, there are some additions to it
and some unimportant changes in
plraseology. The most important and
in fact the only essential addition is Il
paragraph fixing the responsibility upon
spain for the Maine disaster and citing
this as 4 cause for American resentment.
if not for war.
Congressman james Hamilton Lewis,
the Populist dude Congressman from the
State Of Washington, who is us shrewd
and sage as he is picturesque, without eX-
citement, but with characteristic en-
phasiS expresses the belief of the Con-
grrsS, that body which has the constitu-
linlm power to declare war. lie says:
II have heard all sorts OF charges of cor
rlp'ion and wicked influences, but am
ready to stand by the administration and
50 are also the men OF all parties. No
matter what unreliable men say, yuu
may be sure that all Wall street, and all
Lombard street, and all hell combined
cannot prevent the American, Congress
from performing its patriotic duty dur
ing the coming week.
That tells the whole story. Congress
is determined that there shall be passed
Il joint resolution recognizing the indie
pendence Of the Cuban Republic with
armed Intervention by this government.
The recognition Of the independence
alone would he equivalent to declaa-
ton Of war. Tie declaration for armed
intervention is simply an emphasis Of the
original proposition.

THE MURDER OF SAILORS
REAL CAUSE OF WAR
All Reasons are Swept Away in the
Light of New Evidence.

WASHINGTON, April3.-Spanish agency
is either directly responsible for the loss
OF the Maine or her gross negligence was
such as to make her practically guilty Of
the destruction OF the vessel.
This, in effect, is a paragraph that will
be found in the resolution which the
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
will present to the Senate on Monday or
Tuesday, with the recommendation
that it be adopted.
Thus the United States, when it fights
with Spain, will do so because Of the
dastardly treachery which blew up the
battleship and murdered 2G6 sailors and
marines.
This mornings dispatches explained
what the Subcommittee had decided
upon, but the full committee went
further and agreed to incorporate a
clause in the resolution directly charging
Spain with responsibility for the Maine

With Good Men Has Proved
Himself Crack -a.Jack.
Joe Laughlin is no doubt this city's
coming fighter.
He las only fought three times in
public and in his last two contests has
proved himself a wonder.
His last fight was with Eddy lenny,
of Chester, and took place in baltimore.
Ienny, everybody knows, was fast
climbing the ladder OF fame, but when
he met Iaughlin he had several of the
rounds OF this ladder broken.
Iaughlin in this fight was to be put
out in three rounds, but instead OF be-
ing put out he not only stayed the
limit but gave Lenny one OF the best
punchings he ever had.
In Laughlin's previous fight with
Jack Montroy, OF Philadelphia, he made
such a good showing that when Tim
Callahan, OF Philadelphia, refused to
meet Montroy, saying that he was TOO
heavy, the management of the Arena
quickly got I.aughlin to take his place.
The contest will take place on Easter
Monday evening. Joe thinks that he
he will surely win, and he has the eood
wishes of the sports back Of him.
