'Wnare are the remains OF Columbus ,"
has brought many different answers.
Scientists and explorers have spent
considerable time in trying TO settle the
much mooted point, and while some Of
them have made discoveries that would
lead one to consider the matter dis
posed Of for all time they have been
unable 70 come 10 a positive conclu-
sion. and il seems as unsettled today
as it did when the vaults OF the cathe-
dr5I at Santo Domingo were opened
and the remains, supposedly those %
Columbus. were removed TO Havana
more than 100 years ago.
Like his birthplace, the final resting
place Of Columbus cannot be definitely
fixed. and there are at least three cities
each 81 which claims the honor of being
the spot where the great discoverer
first saw the light of day. while three
others claim 10 have his remains in
their cathedraIs. The last are Havana,

town on the coast OF Porto Rico. There

With the other two places II is diff

bones and dust of Columbus rest IN the
cathedrals OF their cities, but have doc

are two things certain-Columbus lived
and died. and he was neither twins nor

that he was born IN Genoa. Italy. and
that he died and was buried at VaIlado-
lid, Spain. There are no records TO prove
II what year he WAS born. and historians
and authorities differ as 10 the time. SO
far as Is known. the event occurred
either in 1885 or 1896. Some authorities
claim il was ten years later. and that

ish government At the same time . call by the French ambassador at the Sjanish legation, and a return call by Senor Polo at the French embassy brought about an understanding as to what steps would be taken in the event of the retirement of the minister.
 Until last Thursday the Spanish minister continued to accept the so- cial courtesies extended tc him, these being numerous, and including the hes ritality of cabinet officers and others high in the government service In view, however, of the reports Of the foreign committees in congress at that time he decided not to accept further courtesies of this character as it nee essarily involved his coming into clcse personal relations with public men who had participated in the severe. and in his judgment, unwarranted, de- nunciation of Spain in official reports.
 It is known that the Spanish gov ernment will not, either by the with drawal of the minister or any other conspicuous step, place itself in a po- sition of having invited a recourse to war. On the contrary, the entire pol icy at Madrid is to remain passive un- til the United States not only makes the tender of war, but executes it by unmistakable overt acts.

MINES FOR HAVANA.
Gibbons Says They Were Bought in
 London and He Had Charge.

London, April 19.-Mr. J. P. Gibbins, who claims to have handled the sub marine mines which were intended for use in Havana harbor, and whose statements have been denied by the Spanish ambassador here, says that Spain is denying some things that he never said. He reasserts that about ninety-siX mines and fourteen tons of gun cotton were furnished the Span ish government for use in Havana by Latimer, Clark & Co. of London.
 He, as superintendent of the sub marine department of the firm, super vised the shipping of the material. Mr. Gibbins again affirms that he is able to prove absolutely that the Maine was deliberately and wilfully blown up. He says he believes he could fix the act on two men, and even one.

of the affray, but having been sum- nlone1 arrived some time after the death of Zech.
 Peter Koch, the Dane, though in the employ of Miss Seass. was a rather damaging witness. He testified that when Powell and Hanson came up they leveled their guns at Zech and threat ened to shoot him.
 Dr. D. B. Moore of Tempe had been sent fo- and had seen the body, but had not examined it.
 In the course Of her testimony Miss Seass said that when she went to Zech's the first time she presented the order of the court and tried to reason with him without success. She ad- mitted that when she went after Pow ell and Hanson her object was that they would bluff him with their guns and put him in a proper frame of mind to be reasoned with.
 Persons who came from Tempe last night said that the sentiment there was against Hanson and Powell. It is not believed thSt they had an in- tention at the beginning to kill Zech, but were led to do so by circumstances which they had not foreseen. They are blamed for having been there at all.

SENTIMENT AT MADRID.
Great Dangers Now Gathering Around
 Spain.

Madrid, April 19.-The all absorbing topic is the prospect of war. Fl Heraldo de Madrid says that war is In evitab1e and even imminent. Even the forthcoming meeting of parlia- ment is unheeded Fl Heraldo com pares the indifference of the mass of the people" to "Mussulman fatality" considering it highly dangerous and fearing a terrible reaction.
 The paper says a serious task lies before parliament which it hopes will prove equal to facing the great dan gers now gathering around Spain.''

POLO READY TO GO.
Instructions Will Come Only When We
 Commit the Overt.

Washington, April 19.-The Spanish minister, Senor Polo, has completed his preparations for departure from Wash ington, but no actual step in that di- rection will be taken until specific instructions are received from Madrid. Up to the present time there have been no such instructions and no intima- tions that they were about to come. but the preparations for removal have been completed in view of the condi- tion of affairs. The official archives, which constitute the most important possession of the Spanish legation, nave been sealed in readiness to be placed in charge of the French ambas- sador here. The archives fill a dozen or more large cases, each protected by heavy wire screened doors. The doors are now sealed up by means of heavy
 cords secured by wax, bearing the of nclaI impression of the legation. The transfer of these documents has not been ordered from Madrid, nor has the foreign office at Paris yet instructed

PLAN OF ACTION.
No Halfway Reply by Spain Will Bs
 Accepted.

Washington, April 19.-"The ultf- matum," said one member of the cab inet, after the meeting today, ''has been agreed upon in substance, but has not yet been formally drawn up. Its prep aration has been intrusted to Assistant Secretary Day of the state department It will be sent to Spain tomorrow and will reach Madrid in the evening. The difference in time between this coun- try and Spain being about six hours. l think you are safe in saying that Spain will be given forty-eight hours, that is until Friday evening, to submit her report in accordance with the terms of the resolution.
 FLAT-FOOTED AND ABSOLUTE.
 "The president will demand that Spain shall evacuate the island. The demand for this will be fiat-footed and absolute and no tentative or halfway reply will satisfy the president Nor will any compromise that contemplates the withdrawal of the Spanish troops from the island and the subsequent re- establishment of Spanish control or the raising of the Spanish flag over the country be accepted by the ad- ministration.
 A BLOCKADE OF CUBA.
 eff Spain refuses to evacuate Cuba prompt measures will be adopted to put in force the congressional resolu- tion. A blockade of Cuba will. so far as at present understood, be begun at once. There are sufficient war vessels in the vicinity to make this effectual. I think such supplies as the Spaniards now control will not last them more than month. Then steps will be taken with a view to increasing the equipment of Gomez's soldiers and fur nishing them with sufficient hard-tack Spaniards from the rear, which will materially assist in bringing them to terms.
 DURATION OF THE WAR.
 My own individual idea is that it will probably take two months to bring about results which will compel the Spaniards to evacuate and enable the island tO be occupied by the United States without molestation. The United States government will not counte- nance privateering, but if the Spanish government chooses to enter upon this line of warfare she will have to deal with tho n af;inpc nt EurDno x,;tL commerce she seeks to interfere with"

NATIONAL GUARDSMEN.
They Will Be Given the Preference in
 the Call for Troops.

Washington, April 19.-Military and naval preparations continued today with unabated vigor. Seven fleet steam yachts suitable for navigation in Cuban waters were procured and several bids for steam colliers were made. Arrangements are being made to utilize a number of powerful con- verted smooth bore guns, survivors oi the late war, as armament for the auxiliary cruisers.
 Many agents for shipowners were at the navy department today offering to sell craft to the government, but the prices are said to be excessive and no purchases were made.
 The important event at the war de- partment was the decision to enlist only national guardsmen under the first call for troops, which will be very gratifying to militiamen. Some idea of the cost of transporting troops may be formed from the fact that it was necessary to allot $1,0O0,OOO today to defray the expenses of the movements already ordered
 Reports from all over the country this morning indicated that movements were going on with the most gratifying celerity. A picturesque condition oi warlike conditions was presented right in Washington by the departure for the south of the Sixth cavalry, and Secretary Alger busied as he was with official tasks, managed to get to the station to see them off.
 An allotment of funds for balloon service shows that the war depart ment does not propose to ignore any of the latest scientific aids to warfare.
 THE FIRST CALL.
 Washington, April 19-It was stated today that the first call for troops would be for S0,000 men, which it is believed, will exhaust the entire avail able strength. of the national guard at this time, after deducting those who are sick and otherwise incapacitated for immediate service. The total strength of the guard as reported to the war department is 113,76 men.
 AFRAID OF MEXICANs.
 Austin, Tex, April 19-Adjutant- General Mabrey this evening ordered the ranger forces to concentrate on the southern and western frontier for the purpose of repelling attacks from Mexican outlaws, the fear of which is justified by reports from that end of the state.

Toronto, April 19.-Negotiations are said to be pending between the Amer Steamboat company for the purchase of the fast steamer Modjeska- If pur- chased, it is said she will be trans formed into a gunboat for Uncle Sam. The Modjeska is a fast iron Clyde built steamer, and her original cost was $110,000. She has been for sev- eral years on the route between Tor onto and Hamilton.

Washington, April 19.-The Spanish legation has been the center of great activity throughout the day. The min ister was up practically all of last night, retiring shortly after daylight this morning after having informed his government of the final passage of the Cuban resolution. He was again at his desk by and communicating with his government and awaiting the next and final move in making the resolution effective
 POLO WITHOUT HOPE.
 He saw number of friends, mainly of the diplomatic corps, and to them he expressed the view that all hope of a peaceful settlement appeared to be at an end and that Spain had now left with the United States the responsi- bility for war. Being convinced that all hope of peace was over the minis ter's persona ldesires were that the re- maining formalities might be dis patched as speedily as possible.
 TOOK DOWN THE SIGN.
 Early this morning large metal sign bearing the words: Office of the Spanish Legation, Washington, was wrenched from it's place on the steps leading to the legation and carried off by vandals. The minister made no complaint or to the state department or to the police, as he has sought to minimize the petty depredations against the legation. although this was the most fragrant one committed.
 Some of the foreign ambassadors and ministers called at the state depart ment today to learn whether the pres ident would sign the resolution They were informed by Judge Day that the president intended to sign them. This in turn was communicated to the for eign offices and was regarded as plac- ing the matter beyond any question of doubt
 NO FURTHER POOLING.
 Representative of the powers of Flu rope held no meeting during the day nor is any meeting at present in pros pect. Those who have been the most hopeful of bringing about a European coalition now concede that such a move is impossible. There seems to be a general purpose among foreign governments to observe a strict neu- trality.
 THE STROKE OF A PEN.
 The Spanish minister, Senor Polo y Bernabe, has made final preparations for departure and is calmly await ing notification that the president has affixed his signature to the Cuban res olution, at which time the minister will take his leave.

The congressional Cuban resolution will not be signed until tomorrow. The ultimatum to Spain will be signed at the same time. The president early decided to make the two practically one by the simultaneous signature of each.
 Two cabinet meetings were held dur ing the day, the first being at Il and lasting nearly two hours, and the sec opd lasting from until 5:30 o'clock. At their close the announcement was made that executive action was de- layed until tomorrow. Both cabinet sessions were devoted principally to a discussion of the ultimatum to be sent to Madrid.

 At this point it can be said that the state department officials are confident that the Spanish government will so shape every phase of the negotiations as to oblige the United States to take the initiative at every point.

S0SSlOnS were QeVOCeO prlnc1pally to a discussion of the ultimatum to be sent to Madrid.
 SPAIN GIVEN ONE DAY.
 At the morning session the presi- dent rather favored allowing the Mad rid government two or three days in which to reply to our demands, but since that time he has changed his views somewhat and it is now believed to be his purpose to require an answer within a very short time, probably within twenty-four hours.
 The reason for limiting the time to one day or even less is said to be en- tirely strategic, otherwise two or even three days would have been allowed.
 SHORT AND TO THE POINT.
 The ultimatum itself, it is believed, is short and to the point It will recite the main features of the resolution passed by congress and demand con- pliance herewith. The ultimatum probably will not be made public here until notice is received that it is in the hands of the Spanish government, diplomatic etiquette requiring this.
 The Cuban resolution passed by con- gross arrived at the White House at 1:15 o'clock, little over an hour hay ing been consumed in the formalities of securing the signatures of Speaker Reed and Vice-President Hobart to the resolution in open session and it's delivery by Representative Hager of Iowa, chairman of the committee on enrolled bills, and Representative Over street of Indiana.
 It was expected that the resolution would be signed immediately after it had reached the president and this was President McKinley's inclination, but for certain state reasons it was deemed advisable that the resolution and ulti- matum to Spain should be signed simultaneously.
