Naval Preparation

1
The navy department was busy in the
preparations of signal codes, flags, regu-
latons, logbooks and a thousand AMI
one things required for warships and for
the large number of mercantile vessels
and yachts recently purchased. Many
offers of vessels poured in, but none were
avai1ed Of today.
The notice of the arrival Of the big
Spanish armored cruisers at Cape Verde
caused some disQuiet at the department.
particularly the notice that the Pelayo
had Joined the fleet.
Chief Engineer Baird, who was exam
lining recruits at the navy yard, reports
that a very large portion of the appli-
cants for enlistment are of British birth,
English Scotch and Irish, which he re-
CARDS as significant of the sympathy of
that people with the United States in its
attitude toward Cuba.
The department is a good deal dis
turbed about the torpedo boat Somers,
now lying at Falmouth, England. and is
casting about for means to bring her to
the United States with safety, so far
without success.
No purchases of ships were made dur
ing the day, but the offerings continue in
numbers.

the Cuban question. The signing by
the president of the joint resolution
requiring intervention in Cuba; the
notification of that action to the

sion. The next step is Spain's an

A STROKE OF THE PEN
Converted the Cuban Resolutions Into
American Law

American Law
WASHINGTON, April 2o-The Cuban
resolution Is now law of the land and
the ultimatum to Spain an accomplished
fact. The President at 11:24 o'clock af-
fixed his signature to the joint resolution
of Congress requiring Spain to evacuato
the island of Cuba. The ultinlatum mean
while had been prepared at the State De-
partment by Assistant Secretary Day, and
| at 11:S0 o'clock announcement was made
at the White House that it had been signed
by the President and had been sent to the
| Spanish government.
The ultimatum was brought over to the
White House shortly before II o'clock by
Assistant Secretary Day. who went over
it with the President before the latter
affixed his signature. After the public
announcement Assistant Secretary Day
said that the ultimatum had been trans
mitted this morning to Madrid, addressed
to Minister Woodford, who will deliver it
to the Spanish government.
AS soon as the final determination to
send it had been reached and it had been
started on it's way to Madrid, Senior Polo
y Bernabe, the Spanish Minister. in ac-
cordance with diplomatic courtesies, was
furnished copy of the paper by the COL
ored messenger of Assistant Secretary
Day. The Minister, as soon as he re-
ceived it, made brief reply and requested
his passports.
The Fair Copy
At the Cabinet meeting yesterday after
noon the general features and form of the
ultimatum to be sent to Spain were agreed
upon, and there remained for this morn
ing only the making of fair copy for the
Presidents signature. The original draft
was made by Assistant Secretary Day, and
the revised copy which was made this
morning under his direction was laid be-
fore the President about 1920 o'clock At
that hour, several members of the Cabinet
had called, as we'll as a number of promi-
nent Senators and members of the House.
Among the number We're Secretary Will
son, Attorney General Griggs, Senators
Platt (Conn.) and Frye of Maine, Lodge
of Massachusetts, and Elkins of West
Virginia, and Representatives Cannon of
Illinois and Grosvenor of Ohio All were
in the Cabinet room nearly at the same
time. BY II o'clock things were livening
up about the upper rooms and offices,
and there were found calls for the Secre-
taries to attend the President in the Cabi-
net room.
1t was known that the question of giving
to the press a copy of the ultimatum as
soon as it was signed was under discus
sion, but no one could state whether this
would be done or not. 1t was also stated
by some Of the callers on leaving the
President that he would very soon send to
the House of Representatives notice of
his having approved the Cuban resolutions
and at the same time would lay before

both bodies copies of the Spanish ultima
tum.
AT 11:4 all speculation was brought to
an end by the announcement that the
President had at that moment signed the
resolutions of Congress; that the ultima
tum had been signed some time before and
that the latter would not be made public
until some time tomorrow.
There were present in the Cabinet room
when the President signed the resolutions.
Secretary Alger, Attorney General Griggs,
Secretary Bliss, Senator Elkins and Mr..
Charles Emory Smith. The signing Of
the Cuban resolutions by the President
was an exceedingly interesting event, al
though without special incident. General
Alger had brought over from the War
Department a pen which he requested the
President to use in appending his signature
to the document. The pen had an ordinary
Gutta percha holder, and as it was handed
to the President by his secretary, Mr..
Porter, those present gathered around The
table to witness the act. There was con-
siderable feeling manifested by those
| about, but there was no demonstration or
/ congratulations. The small crowd very
soon dispersed and within ten minutes the
normal conditions of things at the White
House had been resumed. Secretary Alger
remained with the President and as soon
as the rush was over the two took a wall,
in the White House grounds. returning in
less than an hour.

not made public it is known that with it is
