Spanish Operations.

Havana, March 23.-According to the official summary of news from the western part of the island, General Pardo advanced on the 2oth toward Sanguin and was constantly and ener- getically engaged with the insurgents. General Pardo after a strong resist ance, captured the insurgents camp Chomeda and Guanoles, and the insur- gents lost eight killed. four taken pris- oners, a large quantity of stores and ammunition and also their military hospital The Spanish troops found well stocked farms in the district with plenty of horses and cattle. Many of the former were used to mount gueril- las. The Spanish troops reached San- guilo on the Fist, where they rested. General Pardo, after due consideration, expresses himself hopeful of being able largely to pacify the eastern provinces in about four months. He expects to enlist many negroes as guerillas to overrun the province of Puerto Prin- cipe, and he reports that the health of the Spanish troops is excellent. All the foregoing information as to the Spanish military movements comes from Spanish sources.

OPINIONS FROM HAVANA
STRONG BELIEF THAT M'KINLEY
 WILL BE FIRM.


 It Is Thought That if Spain Objects to Mediation the President Will Issue au Ultimatum-Disappoin at Failure of Overtures for Peace Made to the Insurgents.
 Havana, March 29, via Key Vest The Associated Press bulletin with reference to the transmission of the full report of the board of inquiry was read to the principal consular and na- val officials here and also to the best known correspondents. There is sur prising unanimity of opinion that the probable course of events will be that President Mckinley will transmit the findings to Madrid with a note saying that the Maine disaster was the cul- minating point of state of affairs that must not continue to exist; that the United States is not willing to feed indefinitely hundreds of thousands of starving women and children; that the war must stop; that the United States is willing to act as arbitrator and to use its best endeavors to arrange a plan to which Spain and the insurgents might agree.
 If Spain declines mediation, as is probable, and seeks to put off a. definite
 
 settlement, President Mckinley, it is believed here, will transmit the note as an ultimatum, together with the con- sular reports to congress, where the independence of Cuba will be declared in strong terms, then if Spain insists upon war, she must declare 1t. These views are interesting as being the opin- ions of those here on the ground as to what is likely to happen within the next fortnight. It will be impossible until the arrival of the steamer from Puerto Principe to learn anything as to the details of the meeting between General Pandos Delegates and General Garcia, General Masso and the other insurgent leaders; but 1t is known pos itively from the military movements that the proposals for peace were re- jected definitely. Great disappoint- ment is felt at this, not only among the autonomists, but in the palace. There has nevel been much hope that General Maxine Gomez would yield, but it has been thought that General Garcia might accept the proposed terms and induce General Masso to surrender with a large force.
 Cuba is now in the throes of elec- tion excitement. Every effort is being made to induce the conservatives to vote, but with little success. The autonomists are divided into bitter factions, one wing declining to take part in the elections at all or nominate delegates. The Havana conservatives say that even if they consented to vote, their ballots would not be counted fairly, as the boxes will be in the hands of the autonomist officials and the stuffed poll lists will be further passed. It is impossible to predict the outcome at present since constitutional ques- tions are so overshadowing, but it is hard to see how the autonomist gov- ernment has the least chance, especial ly since the last move in the game, General Pandos mission to the insur- gents, has proved failure.

Supposedly Well Informed Representa-
 tives Tell What Will be Done.
 Washington, March 23.-The prevail ing impression among the republican leaders of the house is that the presi- dent will intervene in Cuba on humane grounds, but it is positively stated by one of them who is close to the presi- dent that the intervention will not come until after the report of the board of inquiry on the Maine disaster goes to congress- "The two questions will be treated separately" said he to-day, land the message relative to Cuba will be sent to congress soon after the report on the Maine question"
 MT. Deliver, rep, of Iowa, says that intervention on humane grounds will place out action upon a moral level that would command the sympathy of the world. We could afford, he says, to waive all question as regards the Maine, if the board does not fix the re- sponsibility for the disaster on Spain, in order to make the greater issue. A prominent member of the house, who has been several times in consultation with tn president recently, and who possesses unofficial information of the cause of the Maine disaster, says that while the report of the board will not fix the responsibility for the explosion it will be startling in it's nature. The information at the capitol is that all ready $25,0OO,O00 of the S5O,OOO,O 900 appro- priated for the national defense has been expended or contracts entered in- to for it's expenditure.

CAPTURE OF HAT1NA.
Remarkable Disclosure by Publication of
 A Letter by General Grant

Letter by General Grant.
 New York, March 23-The remark able disclosure is made that on April 30, 1883, General U. $. Grant wrote to General Badeau, telling the latter how easy it would be for the United States to capture Havana by a combined at tack by our land and naval forces. This letter, which is to be printed in fac simile, reads as follows:
 "New York, April 30, 1883.
 Dear Badeau:' 1 beg your pardon for not answering your letter requesting my views about the capabilities of the de- lenses of the harbor of Havana to resist any navy. 1 supposed l had answered it, but not. On my visit to Havana three years ago I had the opportunity of seeing the forts and armament. Both are formidable and with additions that could easily be made before any country could attack them, impregnable from direct attack. But should not regard Havana as a difficult place to capture with combined army and navy. It would have to be done, however, by effecting a landing elsewhere and cutting off land communication with the army while the navy would perform the same service on the water. The hostility of the native pop ulation to the Spanish authority would make this comparatively easy task for any first class power and especially easy Spain. I have no special news to write you. Buck and Jesse have returned from abroad. All well. Yours truly,

SaIisbury May Resign.

London, March 24.-The Daily Chron- icle says: eve learn that the cabinet council on Monday was to consider an intimation from the marquis of Salis- bury of his desire, acting under medi- cal advice, to resign both the premier ship and the foreign secretaryship. Our news is obtained from a source usually trustworthy, but the crisis may take few weeks to develop, the queen being abroad. Lord Salisbury's successors are almost certain to be the duke of Devonshire as premier and Arthur J. Balfour as secretary of state for foreign affairs.

BALLOONS FOR WAR pURPosEs.
Chief Signal Officer Urges Their Impor-
 tance Upon Alger.


 Washington, March 23.-Secretary Alger had a conference to-day with General A. w. Greedy. chief signal off, cer of the army. General Greedy has urged upon the secretary the allotment of money for the purpose of connecting the various parts of the Notifications at seaport cities by means of electrical communication. Another matter which General Greedy thinks of great impor- tance in case of hostilities is the em- ployment of balloons for observation purposes. He has asked repeatedly, but in vain, for an appropriation from congress for experiments in this line. He believes that balloons would be in- valuable for many purposes in war. For instance, he says, while floating in the air, they could observe the approach of hostile ships at great distance off shore and by means of the cable at tached to them and connecting them with telegraphic instruments below could disseminate information of the fact. Should an army of occupation be sent to Cuba balloons would be of use, it is thought, in observing the op- erations of the enemy'S army, the country being so heavily wooded, that it would be impossible to ascertain the movement of opposing troops on the ground. General Greedy does not be- lieve there is much danger to be feared by the balloonist from the fire of the enemy.

SENATOR GAILINGER,S SPEECH.
He, Like Senator Proctor, Recites the
 Horrors of Cuba.

He, Iike senator ffOctor, heClbes lHo
 Horrors of Cuba.
 Washington, March 23-A vivid word picture of the horrors and barbarities of concentration on the island of Cuba. was drawn in the senate to-day by Mr. Gallinger of New Hampshire. The senator recently visited Cuba person. ally to study the situation of the re- concentrados and to ascertain the facts concerning the general Cuban question. It was known that MT. Gal finger was to speak upon Cuba to-day and long before the senate convened the galleries were packed. Notwith- standing the crowd there was mini mum of noise and confusion. When the spectators addressed one another they spoke in whispers and during the opening proceedings it was so qiuet that ordinary conversation might have been heard throughout the chamber.
 Almost as soon as the senate con- vened MT Bacon of Georgia introduce ed joint resolution declaring that the lnlCeQ SldleS SllCulu uO SNtIy IlilIiS III it's power to preserve peace with all the nations of the world. He said he would not ask for immediate consider ation of the resolution, but would per init it to lie on the table until to-mor- row. Then MT. Hale, chairman of the naval affairs committee, favorably re- ported the bill providing for relief of the survivors of the Maine catastrophe. There was suppressed murmur of ex- pectancy in the galleries, but the meas ure was read and passed without word of debate.
 MT. Gallinger's speech followed. He spoke in a low, clear tone of voice, distinctly audible throughout his speech. His auditors listened intently to his description of the horrors and cruelties suffered by the reconcentra- dos, but gave no outward manifesto tion of their feelings. When he declar- ed, however, that a government that would starve 100000 of it's people would do anything, and followed this with the further declaration that the lives could not be atoned for with gold or silver, a spontaneous wave of applause swept over the galleries and the vice president had difficulty in restoring or der. When the senator had concluded he was accorded a tremendous burst of applause which the vice president made little effort to restrain.

UGLY POLrTIO4L SCANDAL.
Profound Sensation in Philadelphia-City
 Official Admits Being fribed.

Profound Sensation in PhiladeIphia-City
 Official Admits Being Bribed.
 Philadelphia, March 23.--What prom ises to develop into the ugliest political scandal ever heard of in this city was revealed in court here to-day when a member of the council admitted &C., cepting a bribe. The whole affair grows out of the ordinance offered in councils to- lease the city waterworks to the Schuylkill Valley Water compa- ny and the alleged attempt by Nelson G. Green of New York, representing the company, to obtain a favorable re- port from the water company by the payment of $1OO,000 and $25,OOO. During recent consideration of the bill in the common council Walter G. Stevenson a member of that body, charged that $500 0O0 had been offered to have the bill passed. A councilmanic investigation committee was appointed and is still at work, but District Attorney Graham promptly took up the case. Smith was held in $10,000 bail, and to-days sensational developments came at. his hearing before Judges Gordon and Brogy. As a consequence of this hear ing Smiths bail in the same count was continued and his trial has been set for next Tuesday, and Select Councilman Louis J. Walker declared that he and Common Councilman Edward D. Smith had each accepted $500 bribe. Coun- cilman Stevenson was the first witness to-day and he repeated his story with out change. Smith entered denial, but was held for trial, as stated.
 Councilman Walker was then called. He was very nervous. At first he said he did not know Green, had accepted no money and knew of none having been accepted. Judge Brogy then said to him impressively: With God as your judge, were you offered any mon- ey?" Walker hung his head and after a moments silence replied: "Yes, I was," and he named the men by whose persuasion he had fallen. The money, he said, was paid in Councilman Se- gers saloon and he had seen Council man Edwin Smith receive the $500 at the same time with himself.

With Other Officers He Is Earnestly Look

 Havana, March 23.-Captain Sigsbee and the officers of the Maine are still here, but are earnestly looking for or ders to go north. El Correo and other daily papers advise the government to expel from the island "all sensational foreign correspondents" A White head torpedo was recovered from the wreck to-day. Some of the divers complain of not being well. At present yellow fever is almost unknown on the island and the season is regarded as remarkably healthful. Yesterday the steamer Colon arrived at Caimanerra province of Santiago de Cuba, with 1,400 troops from Spain. Eighty sick soldiers were sent back to Spain to- day

MISS BARTON LEAVES CUBA
RED CROSS LEADER NOV ON HER
 WAY TO NEW YORK.

She Says the Cause of Her Departure Is
 Purely Personal and Has to do With
 Private Financial Matters-Expects to
 Go to washington-Havana Paper's
 View of American Naval Court.
 Havana, March 29.-Miss Clara Bar ton, president of the American branch of the Red Cross society, left for New York to-day on the Key West mail steamer It was not known until this morning that she intended to do so. Miss Barton says the cause of her de- parture is purely personal and has to do with private financial matters. Miss Barton expects to go to Washington, and she expressed the hope that she would soon be able to return to Cuba.
 LaLucha, in an editorial under the caption of Expectation in the World" maintains that the American court of inquiry, owing to the short time it was here, could not give a scientific report of the Maine disaster. American naval officers, says LaLucha, are not likely to decide against brother officers. The divers could not give expert testimony owing to. the fact that machinery was imbedded in the mud. It is greatly to be regretted that more time and care were not given to the preparation of report for which the whole world waits and which is likely to change the entire feelings of part of the American peo- Yn1n orIc T,QJ also an interview with Consul General Lee, which quotes him as saying that he knows nothing of the nature of the report, but is satisfied that General Blanco never conceived the disaster until he heard the shock in the har- hor.
