The Truth Of Weyler's Letter to

Disclosing Spain's Careful Prepara- ton for the Reception of Ameri- can Battla Ships Which Might Drift Into Havana harbor,

Washington, April 1.-The testi- mony taken before the senate commit tee on foreign relations in connection with the investigation into the rela- tions between the United States and Cuba was made public today. General Lees statement is that the Spanish placed two rows of torpedoes at the mouth of Havana harbor subsequent to the Maine disaster.
 Lee believes the Weylr letter to Senor Guzman in which he mentions the mines to blow up the Yankee ships to be genuine General Lee says: T have always had an idea about the Maine that it was not blown up by any private individual, but blown up by some of the officers who had charge Of the mines and the electrical wires and torpedoes in the arsenal.

TROUBLE ELSEWHERE.
The Seriousness of the New Revolt in
 the Philippines.

Madrid, April 14.-(Via Bayonne.)- A letter just received here from the Philippine islands says that all the troops which were embarking for Spain at the time the communication was mailed were marched hurriedly to various towns in the interior where the rebellion against Spanish rule has been renewed. It is added that over 2,000 well armed men are now in the field
 There have been several engage ments and a number of Spanish priests have been murdered. Nobody appears to know how the Philippine insurgents, who had been disarmed according to a general report, were re-armed, but the belief prevails that Japan had a hand in the matter. The captain general of the Philippine islands, it is further alleged, has been concealing the facts in the case from the government.

 The best possible time will be made and it is expected the troops will reach Kansas City some time on the 18th. Their present destination is Jefferson barracks, St. Louis, but it is believed they will soon be moved to the At lantic coast

tervene in Cuba, but they are disposed to criticize the methods proposed
 The Westminster Gazette says: "The scenes in the house and senate follow ing the insulting report in regard to the Maine are hardly edifying, but they are the inevitable result of the peculiar provisions of the constitu- tion which disarms the executive and compels the last steps in the most perilous crises to be taken in a blaz- ing publicity. It is impossible not to sympathize with the indignation of Americans and the solemn lec- lures which some of the British news papers are administering to America are ridiculous. Still, there is a feeling that the two countries, the United States and Spain, are marching to an unavoidable calamity"
 The Pall Mall Gazette expresses an opinion that the resolutions of the house of representatives were the logical and prac- tical corollary of the message, adding: "The scene in the house was not pretty, but it was quite human. On the eve of war it is natural that people should be excited"

Washington, April 14.-The Spanish minister, Senor Polo y Bernabe, has made signal preparations for his de parture from Washington, but no ac- tual step in that direction will be taken until specific instructions are received from Madrid.
 Up to the present time there have been no such instructions and no in timations that they were about to come, but preparations for removal have been completed in view of the condition of affairs.

Washington, April 14.-Contrary to what had been expected, but as many had feared, the progress of events tending toward solution of the Span ish-American trouble has been held up indefinitely in the senate. It is not probable that the foreign relations committees report will reach a vote this week.
 There is disposition On the part of many of the senators to debate the question without a hope of accomplish ing any other result than to delay action.
 A strong effort was made to procure senatorial acquiescence in the house resolution adopted yesterday. Senator Thurston and others who have been foremost in their advocacy of the Cuban cause, consented notwithstand- ing their earnest wish for an imme- diate recognition of Cuban indepen- dence. The senators who are standing out offer no special objection to the house resolution beyond that it does not provide for an immediate recogn1- tion. They admit that it carries all possible and material relief except political relief, which they also admit will come later without the loss of any advantage to the proposed benet1ciar1es
 President Nc. Kinley stated today that he was ready to act within twentyfour hours after an agreement between the houses of congress upon a plan of action. The senate will in the end undoubtedly adopt a reso- lution similar to that which passed the house
 A rumor was in circulation today to the effect that the president had de- clared that he would veto any reso- lution looking to the Immediate recog- hilton of the Cuban republic. A mem Der of the cabinet said that the presi- dent had made no such expression. Being asked what course the president would pursue in the event of resolu- tion of recognition he replied that the president would do as he promised to do in the introduction of his message, in which he placed the responsibility upon congress. He would follow it's direction.
 There has been a more than usual activity i'll naval and military quarters and while absolute secrecy was pre- served at both departments it seemed evident that at both the last and most strenuous preparations were being made for war.
