SENATE.
Receipt of Message and Probable
 Action.

The week in the senate probably will be given entirely to the Cuban ques- tion. The presidents message is counted upon to arrive soon after as- sembling at noon tomorrow. It will be referred promptly to the commit tee on foreign relations and the pres ent understanding is that no report will be made by that committee be- fore Tuesday, and the report may, in case of the development of radical diff ferences in the committee, be delayed to even a later day.
 There is a decidedly strong dispo- sition on the part of many senators who are not members of the commit tee to have the senate as a body take up the subject of shaping the commit tees report, contemporaneously with the committee, and it is not improb- able that a secret session of the senate may be held with this purpose in view. The purpose of this movement Is, as has been frequently stated, to secure as near an approach to harmony in the senate as possible, and it is be- lieved this can be best accomplished by having the senate agree upon tosm

THE SKAGUAY SLIDE.
With One Hundred Others Arizona
 Has One Death

Seattle, Wash, April 10.-Advices received today from Skaguay, Alaska, say that at least seventy-five lives were lost in the snowslide in Chilcoot pass The number may possibly reach 100. SiXty-nine bodies have been recov- cred so far and the work of excayating is still in progress. The place where the slide reached the greatest depth has not yet been touched. c. H. Kin ney of Prescott, Arizona, is among the dead.
 A fact that lends horror to the fear full tragedy is that it may never be known with any degree of accuracy just how many lives were sacrificed, who they were or where they came from. Many a poor fellow lies buried where no human aid can reach him, and where his remains must rest until the summer sun melts tons of snow and ice under which he lies buried. Upon the crowded trail no record was kept of the living, telling mass, bray ing hardships and facing death in the mad rush for gold.

 Havana seemed dazed yesterday when the people found that General Lee was really going and that all the Americans were going with him. Not to see United States flag floating rom Casa Nuevo struck most of the residents as little less than a ca am ity. The correspondents were be- sieged with eager questions as to the intentions of the Americans, and when the fleet left expected that a lombard ment was likely to commence.

THE ARMISTICE.
The Queen Regent Seems to Be
 Pleading.

Washington, April 10-The Spanish government, through It's minister at Washington, Senor FoIo de Bernabe, tonight delivered an important official document to the state department, stating that an armistice which the queen regent of Spain had commented General Blanco to proclaim today without conditions, and that her majesty's government had granted lib- eral institutions to the island of Cuba which the coming Cuban parlia> ment would adopt, recalling the con> dolence and sympathy expressed by the queen regent and her government on the disaster of the Maine and hor- TOT" this disaster had occasioned in Spanish hearts, and appealing to the courtesy and sense of justice of the United States government to enlighten public opinion upon the attitude of Spain.
 The note also repeats the offer of the Spanish government to submit the Maine question to experts designated by the maritime powers of the world This document was an official notifica- tion of the Spanish government to the United States of the granting of an armistice, and cleared up misapprehen- sions on the most vital point of Spain's concession, namely, that the armistice was without conditions

THE ROAD TO GLOBE ao Comparison Between Cost
 and Result Hou FOR CONSTRUCTION
CONSTRUCTION
Unaniwity of Opinion in Both
 Phoenix and Globe
The Benefits to Our PeOpls Are so Apparent That There should be No Delay in Taking the Initiative Steps.

Hon. George W. P. Hunt in speaking of the road between Phoenix and Globe, thought Mr. Kimball's estimate was too low by half. At least $12,000 would be required to place certain DOT tions of the thoroughfare in first-class shape. He thought Phoenix mer- chants and capitalists should lose no time to open communication with Florence and Globe if they expected to secure the trade of these towns. Today California has found a market for much that the Gila valley could not supply and which the Salt River valley was capable of furnishing.
 There are early prospects of mining districts being largely developed on the route to Globe, and these would be feeders to Phoenix Light teams can make the 130-mile run short of two days, actual travel, and four-horse freight teams can cover the trip in less than four days, all conditions being made favorable by the improvement of the road where most needed The people of Globe have always felt that the Salt River valley should be their market place. As the case stands, thousands of dollars go to California, which by determined effort can be diverted to the Salt River valley.
 Messrs. Hitchcock, Middleton, Whal-
 ley and Jewell, also here from Globe attending the grand lodge of Odd Eel lows, listened attentively to MT. Hunts
 statements as to the proposed road,
 and each expressed his accord in
 the movement, and stated that the people of Globe are more than pleased
 with the conviction that it would not be many months before there would
 be an opening of trade with the Salt River valley. They were encouraged to feel convinced that now The Repub- lican had taken hold of the matter there would be little delay about its completion. The estimate of MT Kimball, $6,000, cost of construction oi
 the road, they all thought somewhat too low, but even if the cost reached a figure double that estimate, the ben. efits to accrue would warrant the ex. penditure.
 MIR. KIMBALL WANTS ACTION. Editor Republican, Sir: In your is sue of this morning I am glad to set , that the Phoenix merchants are alive to the necessity of the proposed roat to Globe. What MT. Henry E
 Kemp says is particularly to the point l. e., that the road should be dons <, now; and in that connection I would i suggest that The Republican call :

of resolution before it goes to the sen- ate for action.

of resolution before it goes to the sen- ate for action.
 The present tendency in the senate is to confine congressional fulmina- ticn to a declaration for armed inter vention, leaving the recognition of in dependence to come later, and it now appears probable that course will be adopted, though not without some dis sent. If the meeting Of the committee to be held before the receipt of the message, should develop that such ac- tion can be secured from the commit tee, and in a way to insure harmonious action on the report in the senate, then there will probably be no occasion for the discussion of a form of resolution before taking up the real question at issue. Senators, as rule, show very slight inclination for each other. and the chances are if the senate does not adjourn soon after receiving the message, the Cuban question will come up in some shape tomorrow, yet it is barely possible that the whole matter will be referred until the foreign re- lations makes it's report
 Resolutions scarcely can get through the senate without arousing some dis cussion, as there are senators who are opposed to any action at all, whether for intervention or independence Sen ator White of California is one of these, and he probably will discuss any resolution reported. There are sev- eral senators who now say that they will be heard from in opposition to any measure that does not provide for this.
 If an opportunity appears. the sum- dry civil appropriation bill will be finally disposed of, and it is possible that the naval appropriation bill will be reported from the committee and taken up later in the week.

TRICKS DON'T GO.
The Insurgents Not to Be Fooled by
 Armistice

Washington, April 10.-Senor Que sada, diplomatic representative of the Cuban insurgents in this city, when asked today what he thought of the Spanish armistice, said: Tt is only a Spanish trick. They want to put us before the American people in an attitude of being unreasonable. I do net believe the American people will desert us, for we think they know it is merely the last effort to force some kind of a Spanish home rule on us. We have fought three years for in- dependence and We know this is g Spanish trick and we will not give in now"

LEAVING HAVANA.
Lee Receives Groans, Misses, Insults
 and Applause

Key West, April 10.-"Tell the Oli- vette to get under way at once, Cap tain Cowles, and signal the Bache that the United States fleet is ready to clear out of Havana, and please follow the Bache out" Those were the words Of Consul General Lee at 5:20 D. m. yes terday as he stood on the poop of the Fern with a group of correspondents around him. It was evident to all that General Lee intended to be the last to leave and murmur of applause went around in support of his inten- tion.
 The Evelyn had already passed Moro castle when the Olivette weighed an- chor. The Bache was close behind and the Fern was the last of the line. The wharves and boats on both sides of the narrow entrance to the harbor were crowded with Spaniards who jeered as the boat passed out. As the Fern rounded to, heading for the open sea, she passed near the Maine wreck. The group on the deck had been laugh ing and talking, expressing their sat isfaction at leaving Havana. With one accord each man doffed his hat in sa- lute to the brave dead, while silence fell on all for the space of several min utes General Lee, being on board the Fern made that boat a target for re- l doubled misses, groans, cat-calls and whistles from the crowds on shore. Get out, Yankee swine," was about the mildest expression used. This seemed to strike every one on board as ludicrous. Vice Consul Springer, who has been in the island thirty years, waved his hat to a particularly abusive group, saying: Wait, wait, my friends, we shall all be back soon."

BACK SALARIES.
County Officials in Receipt of With
 held Salary.

On the Fist of March, 1895, the leg islature of this territory passed act No. 51, classifying the counties of the territory and fixing the compensation of county officers. At the time the bill was signed by the governor it is al legged that 1t contained a clause "to take effect January 1, 1897." It is also alleged that this clause was omit ted in the enrolling and expressing Of the act. It is a fact, however, that the clause was in some way omitted and the act took effect immediately, and in this manner county officers who had been elected previous to the passage of the act were made to feel the weight of retroactive statute, which impaired the obligation of con- tract.
 To remedy this wrong the Nine teenth legislature passed act No. 54, to reinstate the salaries of such officials for the years 1856 as were effected by the act of March 21. 1895. Act No. 54 related, in a series of whereases, the wrong inflicted by the former act and the manner of its passage, then provided for demand, audit and pay ment of the amounts due those county officers. This act was made to take effect from it's passage. It was vetoed by the governor and by a two-thirds vote of each house became law on March IS, 1897.
 Some of the counties paid over the amounts found to be due without mur- muring. Other counties have refused to honor the demands made upon them and the contentious have been carried into the courts. Pima county resisted and a costly litigation fol- lowed which has been decided against the county, the Hon. Judge Davis of that district court holding that the debt itself was an honest one, and the law ordering it's payment a valid law
 Last Friday the supervisors of Pima county ordered back salary warrants to be drawn on the treasury in favor of ex-Treasurer Johnson, ex-Attorney Lowell and Recorder Shibell, the total amount being $3,341.20. It is calcu- lated that the cost to that county in defending the suits amounts to more than double the sum considered saved by the classification act of 1895.
