Friends of the Two Isla >ndS PlNn-
ming to Unite The If
I Forces
And Precipitate a Crisis Without
: Awaiting the Senate and
Administration
Amendment May Be Tackled on
to the Diplomatic and Con-
.sular Bill.

CHICAGO, Feb. ga special from
Washington says: Quiet negotiations
have been going ON in the senate for
several days looking to a sensational
combination of the friends OF both
Hawaii and Cuba, with the object in
view of precipitating a crisis on both
questions without waiting either for the
annexation treaty in the Pacific or the
9aosy movement of autonomy in the
Atlantic. although the annexation
treaty is said mot to command two
thirds of the whole senate, it has in its
favor an undoubted majority, repre-.
ssenting all parties, and the same is
said to be vtrue,of Cuba. 1t is proposed,
'hherefure, to draft an amendment to
the diplomatic and consular appropria-
Aion bill, containing, first, the entire
wording of the Hawaiian annexation
treaty. and secondly, a positive declar-
alton that a state of war exists in the
island of Cuba. A mere majority vote
would be sufficient to pass this amend
ment AS it would be a part OF gen.
4eral appropriation bill, there would be
no rule of the house which could pre-.
vent its consideration, and if passed by
anat body 1t would go to the president.
who would be put in the position Of
having to approve or veto both PROPOSE
alons at the same time. An appropria-
1ion bill, when once reported, is privi-
legged business, not subject 60 the delays
OF executive sessions, and the proposed
amendment could therefore be brought
mp in such "a way as to provoke public
debate and speedy action. ..

All American Fresh Fruit Denied Entry
at German Ports.
BERLIN, Feb. 3.-The Prussian min
lister of finance, DR.. Miguel, has issued
a decree which goes into effect imme-
diately, prohibiting the importation of
every kind Of American fresh fruit.
The decree has been sent to all the
German ports and frontier stations,
excepting Bavaria, Saxony and Wur-
temburg. The United States embassy
was not previously warned, and the
United States ambassador, Mr.. Andrew
d. White, sent formal letter to the
foreign Office, inquiling upon what
authority this initial step was taken.
The United States consul at Ham
burg, DE- Hugh Pitcairn, telegraphs
that 10000 barrels of American apples
have been forbidden TO be unloaded,
and tina: two trains full of American
fruit have also been forbidden to cross
the frontier at Emmeriche which,
aside from Hamburg, is the principal
place of entry.
On receipt of this news, Mr.. White
seiaS second and stronger remon.
STRANGE to the foreign office, calling at.
tention to the evident violation OF the
treaty.
At the foreign Office, it was learned
that the Prussian government prohibits

Spain Fears Civil War.

London. April 2.-The Madrid CORE
spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
There is reason to believe that a GER
tain number of Spanish troops would
be withdrawn under a pretext from
Cuba, provided the American govern
ment would advise the insurgents to
accept the new order of things. Most
people believe that Spain's sovereignty
in Cuba is drawing to an end. but If II
were lost by diplomatic methods. civil
war would ensue. Spain really desires
to make the utmost sacrifice for the
preservation of peace. and no govern
ment can afford to go further i'm the
matter OF concession than the present
liberal cabinet. But even II must dra W
the line somewhere.

Congressmen Relieve In War.

Washington. April 2.-Very few mem
bers of congress who were seen early
this morning believe there Is hope of
avoiding war and base their views on
the theory that Spain will not yield at
the last moment. Most of them look
upon war as certain and are already
discussing its probable cost, etc The
only thing that seems established def
nitely regarding the presidents mes
sage to congress on Monday or Tues
day, unless Spain backs down, is that
the president will not ask for further
delay. Whether he will make specific
recommendations or not seems yet un-
determined. He said within n few
days to prominent leaders of his party
that when he sent the case to congress
he would share with that body the re-
sponsibility for whatever course was
decided upon. On the other hand.
there is an intimation the president
may wish congress to assume the in

PREPARING HIS MESSAGE.
Mckinley Will MOI Send 1t to Congress
Before Tuesday.

Washington, April 2.-The quietude
of the white house tonight was in
striking contrast with the intense ac-
tivity and repressed excitement of the
past few days. For several hours the
president was alone in his private Ii
brary busily engaged in the preparation
OF his forthcoming message to con-
gress. No callers were received ex-
cept by appointment, and with the two
or three whom the president did see
early in the evening he conversed very
briefly.
At ll:30 o'clock General Grosvenor
announced positively after an extended
conference with the president that the
message would not be sent to congress
before next Tuesday. The participants
in the conference were Senator Hanna
General Grosvenor and Judge A c.
Thompson. president Of the criminal
law classification committee Attor-
ney General Griggs was present a short
time.
General Grosvenor said there was
nothing new in the Spanish situation
tonight. Not the slightest change is
perceptibie," he said. The president is
carefully considering his message, and

A CHAMPION FOR EUROPE.
Spain Convinced That the sympathy of
the Powers Is With Her.

Madrid. April 3.-2 a. m.-The minis
terial organ, Ell Globo, in a leading ar
ticle inferentially confirms the state
ment of the correspondent of the asso-
ciated press that the foreign powers are
using every effort to mediate between
the United States and Spain and that
peace is likely to result. A conference
was held here last night which was at
tended by the ambassadors of the lead
ing powers. several of whom had seen
United States Minister Woodford dur
ing the day.
FL Globo says that Spain. seeing that
the sympathy of the powers is openly
with her, will come forward. not only
in defense of her own rights. but as
the champion of Europe against aggres-
sive action by the United States.
FL Correo Espanola says that the
mail steamer Alfonso XIII. arrived at
'Corunna on Friday. having on board
two prisoners charged with an attempt
to blow up the Spanish cruiser Almi-
rante Oquendo in Havana. 1t is also
rumored that Julio Anibal Enriques
and a correspondent of New York
newspaper were implicated in the at
tempted outrage.

The Vixcaoa and Oquendo Left Havana
Harbor This Afternoon.

hOfDOf
New York. April 2.-The Evening
World prints a copyrighted dispatch,
dated April 1. on board the Worlds dis
patch boat Triton. via Key West, which
says: The Spanish warships Nizcaya
and Oquendo no longer lie like big
watch dogs across Havana harbor.
They are on their way to Porto Rico.
The World &c dispatch boat followed
them until this was made certain.
They left their moorings at o'clock
this afternoon and started eastward
along the north coast of Cuba. Late
last night package of sealed orders
was sent out to the two war ships.
The correspondent boarded the Viz
caya at 10 o'clock. He was received
most courteously by Captain Eulate in
his cabin.
"All I know about it," said he. lis
that we are going away, but where l
have not the faintest idea. Our or
ders are sealed. and | shall not open
them until j am several miles out at

the Triton with orders to follow the
cruisers. The correspondent says as
soon as the two ships reached the open
gulf they turned to the westward and
ran three or four miles down the Goa st
i'm that direction. After they reached
point on the coast about five miles
westward of Havana, they turned COM
pletely around and headed for the east
ward. At speed of Is knots an hour
they kept on eastward. The course
they followed is one indicate on the
charts as being the most direct route
to Porto Rico.
