THE EXODUS FROM HAVANA.
Americans Leaving the City, but Con-
sui General Lee Remains.


sui General Lee Remains.
Key West. Fla, April THE Mas
cote arrived here last night with 90
passengers aboard. She is coaling at
the government dock and will return
to Havana as soon as through. Consul
General Lee did not come. There is
great excitement here. Every state
room on the Mascotte was engaged.
The city Of Key West will have big
crowd today. It is reported that there
is great excitement. at Havana, but no
disorder.
Intense disappointment was exhib-
tied by all hands on board the flagship
New York when news regarding the
reported settlement at Madrid was
read. Until o'clock last evening it
WAS confidently believed the fleet would
san today or tomorrow for Havana or
Porto Rico, and the pacific news came
like a bombshell. Captain Sampson
read the dispatch with eager interest,
after which it was read at the messes.
He believes that there is still a chance
that the American navy may have an
opportunity to show what it is made
Of, but he regrets the delay, which
will probably enable Spain to bring her
torpedo fiotilla and other warships to
these waters. All the high naval au-
thorities on board maintain that Spain
should not be allowed to bring her
forces over pending settlement.

The Brooklyn Tries Her Gums.


Fort Monroe, April THE Brooklyn,
flagship of the flying squadron, tried
her eight inch guns yesterday in order
to test the new elevating apparatus
designed to give them greater range.
The first shot was sent out with SER
vice charge of IS pounds of powder,
the gun being elevated at five degrees.
The 200 pound shell left the muzzle of
the gun at velocity of 1000 feet
second. 1t struck the water two and
three-quarter miles from the ship, send
ing I'D vast column of water. The
second shot was with the full powder
charge, 10 pounds, and sent the pro-
jectile very near four miles, putting it
in the water at a speed of 1000 feet
per second. There was no perceptible
Earring from the shot.

/ MADRID EXPECTS PEACE.

Mrs. Woodford Has Left For France,
But the Minister Remains.
Madrid, April 1.-The official state
ment that affairs have taken a pacific
turn has not yet become generally
known, and public opinion remains
much excited. The bourse has de-
clined heavily, owing to the belief that
there is dissension In the cabinet,
which, however, the ministerial sup
porters absolutely deny.
The hope of reaching peaceful set
Element with the United States is grow
ing stronger. 1t is reported that the
basis of an armistice in Cuba have been
arranged. If this be true a royal de-
cree will appear in The Gazette today
or tomorrow announcing the conclu-
sion of an armistice.
The Madrid correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph telegraphs his
paper: - am able to assert that, in
the opinion of more than one European
government, peaceable settlement on
the basis of Spanish concessions could
easily be secured If little time were
allowed for reflection and discussion,
but the rapidity of events at Washing
ton is the most dangerous element of the
situation. 1t is questionable whether the
Cubans are ripe for independence"
Mrs. Woodford, wife of the United
States minister, accompanied by her
neice and Lieutenant G. L. Dyer, the
United States naval attache, left last
night for Biarritz, France. General
Woodford bade them farewell at the
station. Miss Woodford remains, and
1t is explained that the others will soon
return.

Determined cnhnn lnsnr.,ents.

New York. April THE Cuban junta,
through its counsel. Horatio S. Rubens,
yesterday declared in uneGuivocal Ian
guage that the Cuban provisional gov
eminent and the Cuban army would
reject absolutely intervention by the
United States unless it should be pre-
coded by a recognition of the independ-
ence of the Cuban republic; that if the
United States persisted in intervening
without recognizing Cuban independ-
ence, the Cuban government and milf
tary forces would refuse to cooperate,
and that if United States troops should
be sent to Cuba upon the basis of in
PREVENTION without recognition, the Gu
ban army would, in the last resort,
turn its arms against the United

the sending In Of the presidents mes
sage is favorable to the avoidance of
war. This was clearly manifest in the
response Of the market to the early
rumor from abroad that the presidents
message would not go in yesterday,
and to the later authorized announce
ment from Washington that 1t would
be withheld until Monday. The dispo-
sition of the message was the central
point about which the whole market
turned all day. The assertions of the
morning newspapers that it would
without question go in, and that 1t
would declare for forcible Intervention,
caused the decline at the opening, the
opening prices in almost all cases being
the lowest of the day.
The resistance to the decline and the
quick recovery were surprise to out
side observers. who were prepared for
something like war panic on the ex-
change. The recovery was due to
cabled reports of a rumor in London
that the message would not go in until
next Tuesday. This rumor was quickly
discredited by statements from Wash
ington, and the market drifted to
lower plane again, but not to the low
COT. AC 6tdSidtlCA vi LIE tEdQiIS
during this period of waiting was al
most absolute. and the sudden out
break of activity when the later au-
thentic reports came from Washington
that the message would be delayed
until Monday was in strong contrast.
1t was evident that the conclusion was
leaped to that the withholding of the
message was due to a reception of fur
ther proposals from Spain or to move
ments for mediation by European pow
ers, giving promise that the two coun-
tries might emerge peacefully from
their ENHANCEMENT. The violent adj
vance was checked and reaction set In
when it was stated that delay was due
to advices from Consul General Lee.
Prices stiffened again. however, before
the close. on the strength of the general
sentiment that delay favored peace.

more, whose father. BENJAMIN II. Latrobe,
was the architect of the main portion OF
the capitol. The latter was not only
known as distinguished architect, but
he was a skilled and talented artist, as
is fully attested by the many sketch books
he has left. Among the latter his analy-
sis in pen-and-ink sketches of the face of
Patrick Henry was used by Crawford. the
sculptor. in modelling the statue that forms
part of the Washington monument at Rich
mond, Va.
Mr.. Latrobe spent night at Washing
tons house at Mount Vernon, and tells
about the origin OF the sketch in a diary
left by him. Coming down. as he thought,
very early in the morning. he found Cen
eral Washington on the porch of Mount
Vernon. thus showing that he also was an
early riser. After the usual morning greet
ing the general told his guest that he
was expecting some friends from AleXan-
dria, and walking TO the rail of the por-
tico he stood there looking over the Po-
tance. There was a table on the portico

Many deductions have been drawn from
the increasing size of feminine handwrit-

young woman will take up with a few
words in her slapdash caligraphy as much
room as her maiden aunt would have need
ed for a judicious epistle upon a serious
subject. says the Philadelphia Times. But
1t Is not fair to argue that, as the size of
hands has grown. the letters formed by
them must necessarily follow suit. Be
