1t was the knowledge of this fact
which soon became known about the
Capitol that led congressman and SEN
ators to believe that the President was
at last putting himself in a position
where this country should no longer be
required to submit to insult and injury
at the hands of Spain. And Just about
the time this information became the
subject for discussion in the cloak rooms
came tn further intelligence that Mr.
Cannon had introduced a bill appropriate
ing 500. 100000 for the national defense, to
be disbu-sed at the discretion of the
President. 1t is believed that this bill
will be passed by the House today, for
such influence has been brought to bear
upon Speaker Reed that he will no long
er dare TO block the pathway of the
measure.

Affecting Lieu Lands.

March 5th the commissioner oi
the general land office rendered a
decision on Northern Pacific lieu
lands that in effect takes the homes
from hundreds of settlers along the
line Of that road.
Through the Spokane land office
alone it is said over 100 applications
have been made by persons seeking
title from the government to lands
on which they had settled and made
improvements. Under this dscisiou
the land goes To the railroad com
pany.
The decision was made in the
case of Nels II. Hagan against the
railroad company, involving 100
acres in section ), township 26,
range So. The local office refused
the entry on the ground that the
land was covered by the railroad
lieu land selection of 1888, An
appeal was taken to the commits
sioner, hose decision affirming the
ruling of the local office was re-
ceived yesterday.
Among the reasons urged by the
claimant why his entry should be
allowed was that the original lieu
land selection Of the company did
not stat the particular lands the
lands in the list were in lieu of.
Another reason was the lieu lands
had been selected in one state for
losses in another, and another was
that lieu lands were claimed for
losses in the Yakima Indian res
ervation.
The commissioner holds that the
selection did not need to show the
list of losses, and that it was made
in exact accordance with instruc
tons from the secretary of the in
terror. He also holds that lieu
lands can be taken in one state for
losses in another, and that lieu
lands can he taken for losses in In
dian reservations. The chief fea
ture of the decision is, however,
that the company's lieu land selec-
tions of 1888 are valid.
Under this ruling a settler must
show settlement on the land prior
to that year. The scores of settlers
who entered on the land later,
and who, like Mr., Hagan, sought
to enter the land, were refused and
appealed, may confidently expect a
decision similar to Mr.. Hagan's
when their cases are reached. The
effects of the decision are far reach
ing, and it is said many such set
tiers have made valuable improve
menls, which OF course they will
lose.

ports on said coast between Cardenas and

on the south coast of Cuba: and on the

of April 25th the Congress was informed
of the situation, and l recommended formal
declaration of the existence of a state of
war between the United States and Spain
The Congress accordingly voted on the
same day the act approved April %, 1898,
declaring the existence of such war from
and including the Dist day of April and re-
enacted the provision of the resolution of
April Goth, directing the President to use
all the armed forces of the nation to carry

In further fultillment of internati

This resolution was approved by the Ex-
ecutive on the next day, April 2Uth. A copy
was at once communicated to the Spanish
Minister at this capital, who forthwith an
nOunced that his continuance in Washing
ton had thereby become impossible, and
asked for his passports, which were given
him. He thereupon withdrew from Wash
ington, leaving the protection of Spanish
interests in the United States to the French
Ambassador and the Austro- hungarian
Minister. simultaneously with its COM
munication to the Spanish Minister here
General Woodford, the American Minister
at Madrid. was telegraphed confirmation of
the text of the joint resolution and directed
to communicate ii to the Government Of
Spain with the formal demand that it at
once relinquish its authority and govern
ment in the Island of Cuba and withdraw
its forces therefrom, coupling this demand
with announcement of the intentions of this
Government as to the future of the Island,
in conformity with the fourth clause of the
resolution, and giving Spain until noon of
April 23d to reply.
That demand, although, as above shown
officially made known to the Spanish envoy
here, was not delivered at Madrid. After
the instruction reached General Woodford
on the morning of April 21st but before
he could present it, the Spanish Minister
of State notified him that upon the Presi-
dents approval of the joint resolution the
Madrid Government, regarding the act as
equivalent to an evident declaration of
war;" had ordered it's Minister in Wash
ington to withdraw, thereby breaking off
diplomatic relations between the two coun
tries and ceasing all official communica-
tions between their respective representa-
tives. General Woodford thsreupon de-
