bling the president of the United States to
provide the non-combatant Cubans with the
necessary food, raiIhent and medicine for
their immediate relief from starvation, the
sum of 100000 or so much thereof as may
be necessary is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the treasury not otherwise
appropriated.
There was intense excitement when
Senator Mason arose to speak on the
presidents message transmitting to
congress the findings of the Maine
court of inquiry. Mr.. Mason read his
speech from manuscript, but it was de-
livered with all the vigor and fire of
which he is capable.
The intensity of the feeling of those
in the galleries was evinced by the
storm of applause which was elected
by his declaration that he was for war.
Vice President Hobart had difficulty in
suppressing the demonstration. After
Mr. Mason's speech the senate passed
forty-seven private pension bills and
followed this order with eulogies of the
late Senator Earle of South Carolina,
one of the most remarkable of which
was pronounced by Mr.. Tillman, a long
time political opponent of General
Earle.

ADVIoEs FROM MADRID.
The Imparcial Notes Change In Attitude
of United States.

The Imparcial Notes q CnanRe In Attituue
of United States.
Madrid, March 29.-The semi official
Ell Liberal says: "The report on the
Maine contains no grave statement.
Therefore President Mckinley will not
use that pretext for declaring war, but
will use the relief of the Cubans." FL
Liberal adds: I'VE believe the Spanish
government will never tolerate a for
eign enemy in the guise of philanthropy
invading our territory, for it would be
followed by the unanimous protest of
the Spanish people" The same paper
then counsels Spain to prepare to re-
pei every kind of intervention to be
uncompromising and to accept moth
ing affecting the dignity or sovereignty
of Spain"
The impartial says 1t "notes change
of attitude upon the part of the United
States" expresses the belief that when
the six Spanish cruisers and torpedo
boats arrive in Havana harbor the re-
lations between the two countries will
improve" hopes that the Spanish gov
ernment Twill act on these lines.
Great enthusiasm Is manifested here in
connection with the performances at
the Royal theater to collect fuods by
national subscription to increase the
strength of the navy. Seats are SELL
ing at fabulous prices.

THE NEWS FROM HAVANA.
Interest Centers Upon Diplomatic Doings
at Washington and Madrid.

at Washington and Madrid.
Havana, March 29.-While great in
terest is felt among the Americans
here, the report of the court of inquiry
had been so completely discounted by
publications in the Havana, Madrid
and American newspapers as to it's
principal features that no special sur
prise was manifested on the publica-
ton of the findings. Naval men regard
the order not to talk about the Maine
explosion as still in force, and they are
therefore unwilling to discuss the re-
port or to throw side lights on the tes-
timony. All think the cabled synopsis
obscure in many respects and propose
to wait for the full text before COM
menting upon the findings even among
themselves.
Interest is now centered upon the
diplomatic doings at Madrid and
Washington with reference to a cessa-
ton of hostilities and the feeding cf the
reconcentrados. Any news about these
phases of the problem is eagerly read
when coming from responsible sources.
The tone last evening and to-day has
been distinctly more peaceful, and the
hope is expressed and even entertained
that a satisfactory solution may be
found of all differences.

ANGLO EG GYPTTAN CAMPAIGN,
After Brilliant Vancouver Egyptian
Troops Capture Shendy.


Troops Capture Shendy.
Cairo, March 29.-News has been re-
ceived here that gunboats, assisted by
Egyptian troops, attacked and Destroy
ed the Dervish forts at Shendy on
March 26, liberating over 600 slaves
The Dervishes had 100 men killed and
many more wounded. No Egyptians
were killed. Shendy was taken by sur
prise. The gunboats with a battalion
of Egyptians on board ascended the
Nile from the mouth of the Atbara riv-
er at Shendy by dawn on Sunday. The
gunboats shelled the forts and then
the battalion was landed and attacked
the town. The attack was made by a
flank movement and the Dervish garri-
son was completely routed, the Egyp-
tians pursuing them for twenty miles.
The capture of Shendy was brilliant
manoeuvre. The Dervishes who ad-
vanced against the Egyptian army are
entrenched at El Hilgi on the Atbara
river. They are suffering severely from
lack of food and are subsisting on palm
nuts. The destruction of their supplies
at Shendy will compel them to give
battle for which the Anglo Egyptian
expedition has eagerly waited. News
of a crushing defeat of the Dervishes
is expected here hourly.

Sicard's sickness.
The formal report of the medical
board officers of the North Atlantic
squadron that sat in Admiral Sicard's
case holds that he was suffering from
what is technically known as Chronic
malaria" 1t was upon this boards re-
port that the admiral was relieved of
his command and granted six months
leave of absence
The ordnance bureau is actively pre-
pairing for armament of the yachts
and tugs purchased by the navy and
borrowed from the treasury depart
ment. On the tugs and yachts the
ordnance bureau will install such six
Founders as may be available while
the cutters will be manned with some
four inch and several six FOUNDERS all
of the rapid fire class. Paymaster Ray,
the financial officer of the Maine, re-
ported his arrival to the navy depart
ment to-day. He is here to settle the
accounts of the officers and men of the
vessel. 1t was stated at the navy de-
partment to-day that the steam yacht
Giralda, purchased by Spain, cost that
government probably $350,OOO. She is
not regarded as a very formidable ac-
QUESTION to the Spanish navy.
Colored Troops for Dry Tortugas.
At the department the most import
ant development of the day was the
announcement that the twenty fifth
regiment of infantry, now stationed in
Montana, would be transferred to Dry
Tortugas. This regiment is composed
entirely of colored troops. Their stay
in the gulf climate will prepare them
for service in Cuba should this be nee
essary. General Wilson, chief of en-
gineer of the army, has asked for an
additional allotment from the emergen-
cy fund for constructing works inciden-

ABSOLUTE INDEPENDENCE.
Cubans Reach Point Where Nothing Else
Can be Discussed.

bens, docs not want II do anything
for the Cubans, the latter will not
complain. They have gone on for
three years fighting the Spaniards and
they will continue to fight as before
Notwithstanding the lack of 1nterven-
ton on the part of the United States.
There is no use talking of autonomy or
anything except the absolute independ-
ence of Cuba. We have got to a point
where nothing else can be discussed
outside of that. The insurgents are in
good hopes that they will gain a de-
cided victory during the summer. The
insurgents can catch the troops bet
ter in summer than in winter. We are
glad that the starving reconcentrados

say nothing about the feeding of the
Spanish soldiery. If the United States
desire to feed Spains soldiers let her
go ahead. Our army which consists of
about 10000 under arms, is living on the
country, poor as it is"
Mr.. Rubens said that letters and tele-
grams had been pouring in from per-
sons who have hitherto remained con-
servative declaring against the attitude
of the United States. He said that
Spain in it's attitude to fight with the
United States was merely putting up a
bluff. Spain knows the United States
will not fight and so she is ready to
make all manner Of advances in that
line, said Mr.. Rubens. Speaking of the
introduction of resolutions in the SEN
ate, he said: .'The reorganization of
Cuban independence by the United
tSates would not be a casus belli.
Spain will never declare war. Nothing
has ever arisen between America and
Spain which Spain has not conceded
where the United States has taken a
firm stand and should there be dec
laration of independence Spain will do
as she has always DONE There is no
chance whatever of her declaring war"
