SPANS REPLY RECEIVED.
Came Late Last Night and Is
Unsatisfactory.

WAsuIsGToN.fApr. i.-Spain's Off
cisi reply to President McKinley's latest
semandiin the Cuban situation was re-
ceivcd iniWashington last night. An
anxious party, comprising most of the
cabinet and several close friends,
waited until late in the evening in ex-
pectationIof developments. AT half
past ten the message began to come in
cipher and the work of translation was
Begun at once.
Among those at the White House
we're Senator Hanna, Secretary Alger,
Secretary Bliss, Assistant Secretary of
State Day. who dined with the Presi-
sent assistant ESecretary of State
Ldee, to whom was confided the trans
lation of the message; Senator Spoon
er snd Senator Aldrich. There was
an Intensely expcctant crowd of news
sasaI correspondents. larger than
stten gathers at the white House at
night, waiting in the lobby outside the
Presidents office. 3. But they were des-
tined to disappointment. for after the
telegraph instrument in the adjoining
shice had steadilysclamored for half an
kour, Mr. Porter, the Presidents sec
rotary, appeared with the announce
meat from Secretary Day that it was
impossible to translate the message in
time to give out any statement last
night. The telegraph instrument was
still clicking when the correspondents
fled out. Indicating that the message
was at least quite lengthy.
The reply of Spain to the final rep
rcsentations of President Mckinley be-
gan to arrive at the White House at IL
o'clock lsst night and the President
with Assistant Secretary Day started
to read it rs fast as it was transmitted.
The President knew in a general way
something of the nature of the de-
spatch, but he was anxious to know all
the details.
1t is understood that Spain declines
all the propositions advanced by the
saited States and makes counter
Propositions iu turn. Unless a change
comes over the President he will not
consider any propositions which may
aow be presented by the Sagasta min
isag. lie said during yesterday after
,ooa to congressman that called at the
Waite House that an unfayorable re-
sPonse by Spain at this time meant an

Armory hall was filled with an audi
ence of nearly $500 people Thursday
night. The occasion was the calling of

The hall was profusely decorated with
the stars and stripes and potted plants
and pictures of Washington, Lincoln
and Grant adorned the flag at the rear
of the platform. Music was furnished
by the Montpelier Military band and
the Cecilia Arion and Sylvan quartetts.

A resolution was voted by the audi
ence to the effect that if Spain would
not give Cuba independence that Con-
gress take immediate action and it was
voted to send the resolutions to repre-

DONs ARE oBDURATE.
Chew Over Our UItimatum and Spit
IL Out.

MADRID, April lat the cabinet
council yesterday Senior Sagasta, the
premier, explained with extreme pre-
cision all the details of the conferences
and negotiations, together with the
state of the country and existing condi-
tons which he regarded as necessary
to the formation of a proper judgment.
Another minister then spoke, Senior
Sagasta listening attentively.
II is needless to say that, after the
emotions of recent days and in view OF
the serious issues pending. every
minister poured out all he had in his
heart.
After four hours discussion the min
listers were still without a solution,
probably because Senior Sagasta judged
it inopportune to take decision at the
present stage and advisable to wait for
the issue of the next days meetings.
Prior to the council note briefly re-
lating the queen regents ideas on the
subject of the reply to be given the
United States was written. On this he
ing read at the council, Senior Sagasta,
taking paper from his pocket. an
nounced that he also had condensed his
opinion. into few lines which he pro-
ceeded to read.
1t is understood that he touched, one
by one, upon all the questions raised
by the United States and indicated the
limits to which in his opinion it would
be possible to 60 without prejudice TO
the national honor or dignity.
All the ministers, including Gen.
Correo, minister of war, .saw their
thoughts reflected in Senior Sagasta's
expose, which they unanimously APP
proved
The ministers then proceeded TO the
palace, where they gave an account of
the proceedings to the queen regent,
who approved them.
At Minister Woodford's conference
with Senores Sagasta, Gullon and Mo-
ret, Senior Sagasta's note, translated
into English, was submitted to General
Woodford, who, after reading it, said |
al am solely authorized to negotiate
ad referendum, and, therefore. | will
the cabinets reply to Wash
ington."

Torpedo Fleet Might Be Captured

An early declaration of war would
enable the United States to despatch
its fleets in season to inter
cept the Spanish torpedo boat fleet that
set sail from the Canaries for Porto
Rico few days ago. These boats are
of dangerous character and cause a
great deal of annoyance. At present,
however, while on the ocean voyage,
they are harmless because their arms
are slowed away. They are conveyed
by two warships.

tween Mr.. Chandler of New Hamp-

Mr.. Allen of Nebraska made the re-
quest OF Mr.. Frye the occasion of a
speech upon the general Cuban ques-
ton in the course Of which he review
ed his own record ON the subject and
declared that he stood now just where
he had always-in favor of the abso-
lutte independence of the Cuban people
from that "hideous monster among
nations Upon the conclusion of the
Cuban discussion the sundry civil APP
preparation bill was taken up and 35
pages oft were disposed of before adj
journment.
After IS pages of the bill. including
all of the committee amendments
therein except two had been disposed
of, the measure was laid aside. Mr..
Hawley of Connecticut of the military
affairs committee presented in amend
ed form the joint resolution offered by
Mr.. Bacon of Georgia concerning the
erection of temporary Notifications.
He said that the resolutions as now
amended, met all objections that had
been raised against the original one.
1t is as follows:
THAT in case of emerg ency when in
the opinion of the President the imme-
diate erection of any temporary fort
or fertilization is deemed important
and urgent such temporary fort or
fertilization may be constructed on
written consent of the owner of the
land upon which such work is to be
placed, and the requirements of sec
ton 800 of the revised statutes shall
not be applicable in such cases."
The resolution was passed.
Then the Senate at p. m. went into
executive session and at 20 p. m. adj

CADET HOLDEN AT HOME.
A Maine Survivor Talks of the Dis
aster and Cuban Affairs.

Cadet Hannibal Holden, the Bur-
lington boy who was ON board the
Maine at the time she was destroyed
in Havana harbor and the son of Mr..
and Mrs. George III. Holden, arrived
home Wednesday morning on leave of
absence. He win remain at his home
until ordered back.
Regarding the cause of the accident
Mr.. Holden was unable to speak, hav-
ing been sworn to secrecy on leaving
the court of inquiry, as were all of the
witnesses. His statement that all the
officers made up their minds as to the
cause of the accident before "a hours
had passed and that all were virtually
of the same opinion. which has not
changed. is significant to high de-
gree. Mr.. Holden's description of the
accident and the horrible things which
followed are but little different from
those already printed over and over
again.
He considers Havana safe for Amer
leans although liable at any time to be
subject to an outbreak of mob violence.
He says the stories of the starving and
cruelty on the island as reported are
trne, so far as his knowledge goes.
Practically 75 per cent of the recon
are dead and of these prob
apply 20 per cent starved.

hours yesterday the packed galleries
and excited members of the House
listened to a passionate outburst OF
oratory OH the Cuban question during
which the intensity of feeling was al
ternately manifested by cheers, jeers
and Kisses. Time and again the excit-
ed throngs in the galleries were adj
monished to be silent and once at
least it seemed as if "a motion would be
made to clear them. The three
speeches which stirred the assemblage
to its depths were made by Grosvenor
of Ohio, who it was assumed. spoke
for the administration and who prac-
tically pledged it to the cause of free
Cuba, Mr.. Bailey of Texas, the demo-
cratic leader, who announced the dem
ocratic position as for free Cuba with
out war if it could be avoided but with
war II necessary and Mr.. johnson of
Indiana who spoke for peace, declar-
ing that it was our duty to go to the
extreme in magnanimity to avoid the
horrors of war
Mr.. Lewis, q democrat from Wash
ington, provoked the speech of Mr..
johnson, which aroused the members
and the galleries to the fever pitch of
excitement. Mr.. Lewis had de-
nounced the proposition that Cuba
purchase her freedom from Spain
which it was alleged the adminiyra-
ton was fostering. Then it was that
Mr.. johnson. in a brilliant speech,
pleaded for peace. He faced the storm
of Kisses which swept down upon him
from the galleries like Spartan, and
with passionate utterance adjured
the members to pause before they
plunged the country into war. the
evils of which would follow after it in
endless train. He eulogized every in
fiuence that made for peace and de-
clared his belief that the Cuban Junta
would agree to pay 800, 900 for
the independence of the island.
Mr.. Bailey, the democratic leader,
was quick to seize the advantage
which Mr.. Johsnon's position had af-
forded and in ringing speech which
set his fellows and the galleries wild,
he announced his belief from what Mr..
johnson had said that the purpose of
the republicans in refusing TO join
with the democrats Wednesday was to
give the administration an opportunity
to compel the Cuban patriots to buy
the independence they had won from
the butchers of Spain. He said he, too,
deplored war and in describing its
awful horrors as southern people had
known them drew tears from the eyes
of some of his colleagues. He de-
clared there was yet chance to avert
war.
He had been told within "a hours by
4 representative of the Cuban junta |
hat they did not want to involve the
United States in war. All they want |
ed was to have their independence /

Mr.. Bailey drew the fire of the admin
L ~ n n
of Ohio. With his reply
the climax of the day was reached.
he thrilled his audience when he asked
