GREAT CURIOSITY.

Found inAWes6 Virginia.
AS long ago as TITS George Washing
ton visited wat is now West Virginia,
and located as part Of the pay for his
military service some of:the land which
helped to make him the greatest of the
platocrats of his day before he died.
In the Kanawha valley he setapart for
all time as a public reservation an acre
of land: His motive was the preserva
ton of one of the greatest natural
curiosities of the period. In the cen
ter of that reserved acre was a SIT
hole in the ground. When rain fell tie
hole filled with water. Through the
water bubbled continuously a current
of air from some hidden source. 4
burning stick held over the pool i'm
mediately started flame, which con-
tinued until blown out by a strong
wind. Travellers for many years
stopped to marvel at George Washing
tons Burning Spring." This was the
discovery of natural gas, but Washing
ton and generations which followed
his time did not know it.
Forty years after Washington chris
tened the Burning Spring" very de-
termined citizen, enterprising as it was
understood in that time, bored for salt
water. He did not reach it at depth
expected and was advised to stop. His
reply was that he would find salt water
or bore into hi. In short time he
struck gas in such volume that the
boring tools were blown out. The gas
caught fire and mass of fame shot
upward. The enterprising citizen con-
Guided that he had done it, ard ahan-
doned the location. Nearly Il century
passed from the time Of WasEinrton's
discovery until the West Virginians
turned to practical account the natural
gas which is now thought to be under

wAsHINGToN April s.-A number
81 the leading Republican senator's in
eluding Messrs. Allison, Aldrich, Han
ma and Spooner, most Of whom are
cassed as conservatives, held a pro-
longed conference in the room Of the
senate committee on rules yesterday
afternoon after the adjournment Of the
senate
The purpose Of the meeting was to
devise, II possible, a plan whereby the
action OF the senate on the Cuban sit
nation VIII be harmonious. The sena-
tors desire that whatever position is
taken by the senate after the receipt
OF the presidents message on Monday
shall be as nearly unanimous cs il is
possible to have 1t, and they are de-
voting themselves especially TO formu-
lHting a resolution upon which gen
eral agreement can be secured. This

OF the fact that the senate divides upon
the question of independence. All APP

for Intervention. but there is stil per-
tistent opposition to the recognition of
the present government.
Some az least Of those who take this
position have manifested a willingness
90 yiold the one point of expressing
the opinion that the people of Cuba
should be free, but they have taken
decided stand against the recognition
OF the present Cuban government,
which is. they contend, a decidedly
mythical and unsubstantial institution
so far as the people Of the United
states are informed. Their opposition
has settled upon the second of the dec
larations of the Foraker resolution,
which reads as follows
Resolved, That the government Of
| the United States hereby recognizes
the Republic Of Cuba as the true and
| lawful government of that island"
Most of the conservatives announce
! themselves willing to accept as a com
promise the first of the Foraker resolu-
tons, which reads:
That the people OF the island Of
cuba are. and of right ought to be,
free and independent"
They claim in addition to other argu-
rnents that to recognize the existing
government would be to establish bal
precedent and that 1t is far preferable

shall see proper after the Spaniards

The senators who were in conference
yesterday considered this position, to-
gether with other suggestions calcu-
lated to secure harmonious action on
lines such as they consider wise. They
desire above all other things that there
shall be no friction in the open SEN
ate before the world. and they proba-
lily win seek to have the form OF the
resolution determined in secret session
which viii have some of the binding
fleet Of a party caucus.
The advocates Of the recognition OF

proposed in the Foraker resolution and
also win antagonize the plan to decide

claim t. have a majority of at least 1,
for recognition of the present Cubar

LONDON. April s.-The Rome corre-
spondent Of The Daily News says
THE Vatican received yesterday a
dispatch from a parsonage whose name
cannot be mentioned, running thus
President Mckinley says an armis-
tice between Spain and the insurgents
must lead TO the evacuation OF Cuba.
From other information that has ar
rived at the Vatican it appears that
spain wishes to find a formula to save
The situation and that the United States
win avoid war only If the armistice
means that Spain is going to leave the
island and is ready to sign for evacu-
aticn.
Spain will deceive herself If she asks
an armistice from now till October
that is, during the rainy season only
because in this period 1t would be inn
possible to continue operations against
the Insurgents An armistice may nom
inally be to send home sick soldiers,
but in reality it must signify evacua-
ton. A free Cuba only will satisfy the
United States, and 1t is on order that
Spain may make up her mind to the
loss of Cuba that President Mckinley
delays his message.
"All the news received goes to con-
firm the belief that the United States
cannot and viii not retire from this
position. Spain must give way If she
wishes to avoid war; having, besides
her other burdens, the Carlist and Re-
publican dangers to ward Off.
THE pope's action continues to infiu-
ence Spain in this direction. The lat
