BLANCO'S PROCLAMATION.

Cessation of Hostilities Ordered Upon
Recommendation of the Pope.
WASHINGTON, April 12.-The state
department has received General Blan-
co.'s proclamation ordering cessation
of hostilities in Cuba. 1t was cabled to
the Spanish minister here and by him
delivered to the department.. The proc
lamation is as follows:
His majesty's government, yielding
to the reiterated wish expressed by his
holiness, the pope, has been pleased to
decree suspension of hostilities, with
the object of preparing and facilitating
the restoration of peace on this island,
in virtue whereof I believe it con.
venient to order:
''Article /. Prom the day following
the receipt in each locality Of the pres.
emit proclamation, hostilities are ordered
to be suspended in all the territory Of
the Island Of Cuba.
1.-The details for the execution of the
above article will be the object of
special instructions that will be COM
municated to the several commanders
in-chief of the army corps, for the easy
and prompt execution, according to the
situation and circumstances of the case.

Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations Waiting for Con-
sui General Lee.
Question Discussed at Some
Length but Final Action
Is Postponed.
Republicans of House Com
mittee Also Confer With
out Result.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The foreign
relations committee of the senate sat
for about three hours, and after the
formal meeting had concluded the Re-
publican members held conference at
which they considered the possibility
of securing unanimous action on their
part. The committee, as such, did not
reach q conclusion. One reason for
postponement of action is that the com.
mittee desires before reporting to hear
Consul General Lee. The conclusions
of the committee may depend largely
upon what General Lee places before it.
Several members of the committee
were inclined to criticise the course Of
the presidents reference to SPANS
proffer of an armistice in Cuba. This,
they say, goes far towards
Removing the Cause for Intervention,
and some went so far in this connec.
ton as to say that in view of the men.
ton of this fact and of the presidents
opposition to the recognition of either
independence or belligerent rights,
nothing was left for this country but
to declare war. Another development
was that some Of the senators who
had previous to the receipt of the mes.
sage indicated willingness to conform
to the presidents wishes and to confine
the action Of congress to a declaration
for Intervention had changed their
opinions and were now inclined to re.
turn to the original position for indie.
pendence coupled with Intervention,
and it was stated by one of the sena-
tors that the resolutions reported would
in all probability contain at least a
recognition Of the right of the Cuban
people to freedom and independence.
The con sentative Republican senator's
were
Not Slow in Recognizing
the fact that the movement to secure
support for the presidents position had
lost ground since the receipt of the
message. They did not, however, man.
ifest any abatement in their determina-
ton to stand with the president in the
senate and to oppose by debate or 9TH
erwise any proposition looking to more
radical action than the executive de-
sired. They manifested great interest
in the proceedings of the committee on
foreign relations, but owing to the
strict secrecy maintained by this com.
mittee were not able to secure infor-
nation of consequence.
At the Democratic conference the
message was sharply criticised. There
was much difference of opinion as to
the course to be pursued and no con.
clusion was reached.

Presidents Message Puts Re-
sponsibility on the Leg
islative Body.
Early Action Expected but
Just When Is Not De-
terminable.
House and Senate Very Much
at Sea Over the Recon-
mendatiOnS.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-The future
Of the relations Of the United States
with Spain and to Cuba now rests with
congress, the representative body OF
the American people. What course
the elected men composing it will pur.
sue cannot be foretold. The foreign
committees of both houses now have
the subject in their control and after
due elaboration will report to their re-
spective branches what they consider
should be the attitude of the United
States on the grave question presented.
Early action by the committees is ex'
pected, but exactly when it may be
looked for now is not determinable.
The full responsibility of the subject
was placed upon congress when Presl-
dent Mckinley transmitted to.i care.
fully prepared and anxiously awaited
message relating to
Our Negotiations With Spain
as to it's warfare in Cuba and drawing
therefrom his personal conclusions and
recommendations. He placed the trust
with these words:
''The issue is now with congress. It
is solemn responsibility. I have ex.
hausted every effort to relieve the in
tolerable condition of affairs which is
at our doors. Prepared to execute
every obligation imposed upon me by
the constitution and the law, await
your action"
No message in recent years caused
such widespread and intense interest
No message was ever listened to with
more close attention by both galleries
and members at both ends of the Cap
itol. That it did not create profound
enthusiasm may have been due to the
fact that it's main features
Had Been Accurately Forecasted
or to disappointment among those
who wanted Cuban independence and
immediate reprisal upon Spain for the
destruction OF the Maine. For long
time large majority in both houses
has favored recognition of the indie
pendence of Cuba; for more than two
years, as voiced in resolutions passed
by congress, the recognition of belliger.
ency has been sought. Both of these
propositions were antagonized in the
message and consequently, in this re-
gard, the message did not accord with
the majority sentiment. The message
left congress very much at sea, because
the Disagreement in views between it
and the executive are obstacles hard to
surmount, unless, as now seems posi-.
BILE. congress 1ses its course to act in
accord with the presidents recon-
mendation.

BRITISH COMMENT.

Press Generally Believes That War Ii
Inevitable.
LONDON, April lathe Daily News,
commenting editorially upon the presi-
dents message to congress, says: 1.-THE
message is vigorous and able docu-
ment. Undoubtedly it means war,
unless Spain agrees to make final terms
with the insurgents and to recall her
troops from Cuba"
The Times says: 1.-THE message is
not couched in harsh language, though
it leads up to policy which involves
harsh judgment, although one justified
by the sentiment of the civilized world
on the treatment of Cuba"
The Daily Chronicle says: "Presi-
dent Mckinley has made many efforts
for peace, but this is greater than any
of them. His message calls halt by
throwing upon congress the entire and
solemn responsibility of making war;"
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1898-04-14

LEE ROYALTY WELCOMED
Trip From Tampa One Con-
tinual Ovation.
BIG TURNOUT AT SAVANNAH
Finally Forced to Withhold News of the
Train in Order to Secure
Little Rest.
BIG TURNOUT AT SAVANNAH

SAVANNAH, Ca, April 12.-Consul
General Lee has arrived hero en- route
to Washington. His trip from Tampa
has been one continual ovation. In
this city more than 5000 persons were
at the station when the train came in.
The crowd was enthusiastic and short
speech was made by the general, being
frequently applauded. AS the train
rolled into the station platoon of the
Chatham artillery, of which General
Lee is an honorary member, began fir
ing major generals salute of IL guns.
General Lee and the members of his
party were completely tired out by
their long trip. Orders were given
here by the transportation department
of the Plant system for operators north
of this city to withhold all information
as to the whereabouts of the train in
order to prevent the party being dis
turbed. The party retired Immediately
after leaving Savannah.

NEW YORK. April IA dispatch to
the Tribune from Key West says: Con-
sui General Lee went North via Tampa
in the belief that his presence is want.
ed in Washington to give information
about the probabilities in Cuba during
the next fortnight. He did not receive
instructions until he reached Key
West. Vice Consul Springer and Con.
sui Barker of Sagua, are also instructed
to report at headquarters. This was
construed as indicating the opinion in
official quarters that an early reopening
not probable.
General Lee may be able to add some
knowledge to what is already known
regarding the plot by which the Maine
was blown up, though not, perhaps, to
the extent of fixing the conspiracy
officially on the Spanish government.

House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Holds Long Session.
WASHINGTON, April lathe Repub-

affairs committee held long session
during the afternoon to map out a
definite Cuban policy, but were totally
unable to reach an agreement. It is

These, it is understood, include Repre-.
sentative Adams pa, now acting
chairman of the committee, and Rep.
resentative Quigg IN. ~. The meet.
ing was very stormy and some exciting
discussions occurred. The most pro-

favor of
Immediate Intervention
and the recognition of independence
from Spanish rule was voiced by Repre-.
sentatives Pearson of North Carolina,
Smith of Michigan, Heatwole of Min.
nesota and Gillette OF Massachu ,etts.
There were numerous resolutions
drafted and offered for the action of
the committee. as different in character
and workings as there were members
present, but there was no action be.
yond their formulation, submission and
discussion. The nearest success at
agreement was made in the considera.
ton of resolution by Mr.. Henry of
Indiana for immediate Intervention
and the establishment of a stable gov.
eminent by the choice of the people of
Cuba, and another by Mr.. Smith of
Michigan for immediate Intervention,
the expulsion of Spain from the island
and the formation of a government by

Valuable Collection of Musical In

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 2s.-Mr. Fred
erick Stearns. Detroit millionaire, has
presented to the University of Michi-
gan his unique collection of musical
instruments, numbering nearly 1000
pieces Mr.. Stearns has been collecting
for Is years and has spent upon his
treasures something over $25, 600. The
present value of the collection, how
ever, is many times that sum. The
Importance of the collection for the
university lies in the fact that it ex-
hibits, with hardly break, the evo-
luton of the three great types of mu-
steal instruments from prehistoric
times down to the present. In this re-
spect it can rival the most famous col
lections of this country and of Europe.
The collection will be placed in room
fitted up for it in the museum build
ing, and complete catalogue, lavishly
illustrated, prepared by Mr.. Stearns,
will soon be published by the uni
versity.
