ANXIOUS FOR FACTION
But Will Yield to the Wishes of the
President

WASHINGTON, March 3O-The Repub-
licans of the house who are aggressively in
favor of prompt and energetic action IN
the Cuban matter and who met last night
In conference held another meeting after
the house adjourned tonight At last
nights meeting forty-siX members were
present. Tonight they were reinforced by
sixty-nine, making a total of 49, This
constitutes considerably more than ma
jority of the Republicans of the house,
and the members present said that it by
no means represented the full strength Of
those who will be satisfied with nothing
short of the complete independence Of
Cuba. Many of the radicals favor armed
intervention and few like Representa-
tive Marsh Of Illinois, believe the blowing
up of the Maine Is a casus beli
The speeches at tonight's meeting, while
vigorous and yielding nothing, were never
theless in favor of giving the president an
opportunity to mature his policy and Of
completing the negotiations in which he
is now engaged. Many of the leaders In
the movement including Mr.. Hopkins OF
Illinois, Mr.. Hull of Iowa. Mr.. Tawney Of
Minnesota, Mr.. Bromwell of Ohio Mr..
Hepburn of Iowa and ". a. Smith of Mich
igan saw the president today, and all he
asked was brief delay. Action by con-
gress before the pending negotiations are
completed, he told them, would embarrass
him and might result in a complete run
ture.
Mr.. Hull and Mr.. Bromwell and others
explained the situation to the conference.
They counseled acquiescence in the presi-
dents desires. A rupture with the admins
tration was greatly to be deplored ana
should, they argued only occur as a las,
resort. They informed the conference
that the president had said that the nego
tiations now in progress would fail or be
successful by the end of the week. Hebe-
lieved they would be successful. Tie did

they pointed out that it would be manifest

at this time. They said further that Tha
president informed them that he woulH

for what might follow.

that the sentiment of the committee was

OUTWARDLY CALM
But the Danger of Explosion is
Imminent

MADRID, March 3O.-While the situation
here is outwardly of the calmest descrip-
ton the actual position of affairs is re-
garded as critical by both the United States
legation and the Spanish government The
United States minister, General Stewart
Woodford is working energetically for and
will continue to work energetically for
Spains peace until the first gun is fired 1t
is known that the Spanish government adj
rnits the desirability or necessity of COM
plying with the demands of the United
States, and it was only the Discrimination of
the ministers to put this willingness in
concrete form that the danger lies. If a
conference were to be held with British
German or French diplomats, the matter
would be settled without question.
The point which General Woodford is
now pressing is that in the interests of hui
mainly, hostilities in Cuba must cease i'm
mediately. No date was fixed either in
the first or in the present note, but the
United States is now dwelling upon the
meaning of the word Immediately" and
insisting that Spain accepts it's general in
depreciation. The public generally is
taking little apparent interest in the situa-
ton, but there is a general Discrimination
to believe that war is likely.
A dispatch from Barcelona says that
the armed steam yacht Giralda, purchased
by the Spanish government from Harry
McCalmont, the English race horse owner,
after the vessel had been rejected by the
United States, is now being fitted up as a
dispatch boat.
FL Pals says four warships have been OBJ
tanned by Spain in France, and that nego-
tiations are pending for the purchase of
several torpedo boats in Great Britain.

Military engineers are starting for the
Canary islands, and the Balearic islands
are being fortified.
Italy, it is said by Ell Pals, has decided TO
sell the armored cruiser Giuseppe Carl
baldi, Of 6S40 tons, and well armored, a
sister ship of the Varez, to Spain.
Two regiments still, according to Ell Pals,
are going to the Canary islands to
strengthen the Spanish garrison there.
The Armstrong; Spanish agent, Span
lard who is in touch with the government
and commercial people in Spain. has ex-
pressed the belief that unless the powers
intercede there will be war. He added:
IF the United States offered money for
our clearing out of Cuba, we could not &C.
cept, but if the proposition emanated from
another power, it is not unlikely that it
would be accepted"
This view of the case is echoed by por-
ton of the Spanish press, which advises
Spain to wash her hands of Cuba.
Senior Ortiz de Sarato, prominent for
mer Carlist deputy, who has just been
defeated at Vittori expresses the opinion
that there would be no war, saying:
1--WE have neither ships. sailors, SOL
diers, plans nor money, and the govern
ment knows it. 1t will struggle to the
last end. then cave in"
Senior Sarato, who was recently at Cadiz,
says the Spanish warships Pelayo and
Carlos v, which the governemnt announced
ready for sea, cannot possibly be made
ready sooner than in two months.
A CUBAN REPORT
WASHINGTON, March 3O.-The Spanish

saying that the captain general reported
the pacification of the eastern provinces
so far advanced that it had been decided to
rescind the reconcentrado order in three
provinces and allow all subjects Of this
decree to return to their homes in the
country. To aid in the re-establishing Of
the reconcentradoes upon their farms, the
cablegram stated that the government will
grant them the protection of the Spanish
military forces augmented by local relief
committees to look after their immediate
needs.
Economic kitchens, it says, are to be es-

READY FOR WAR
Spanish Diplomacy Gains Time for
Naval Preparation

MADRID, March 3O.-A severe censorship
is exercised to prevent the leakage Of news
as to the naval movements, while the war
preparations continue with the greatest
activity, and, as far as possible, the great
est secrecy. The utmost efforts are being
made night and day to get the first-class
ronclads, Pelayo and Carlos V, completed.
when it is regarded as certain they will be
dispatched with the cruisers Marie The
resa and Cristobal Colon to join the Viz
caya and Almirante Oquendo in Cuban
waters, thus forming a squadron of six
armored vessels against Americas seven.
The Marquis Cornillas, president of the
Spanish transatlantic steamship line to
Cuba and South America, who is an ar
dent patriot, has daily conferences with
Senior Sagasta. The Marquis Cornillas,
Senior Emile CASTELAR,, General Lopez Do

Igasta's former cabinet, and Mgr Cardena,
bishop of Zion, the queen regents chaplain,
are the leading spirits in a movement for a

lnal idea was that every Spaniard should
contribute a days earnings on May End,
the Goth anniversary of the rising Of the
people Of Madrid against French domina-
ton, toward the national defense.
The wave of patriotism, with the enroll
ment of the volunteer corps. is spreading
enthusiasm throughout the country. All
seats have been sold for tomorrow's opera
performance, realizing about $4,000 for
the navy. Performances are being ar
ranged in other cities.
| 1t is said that $4,000 was realized by the
Havana performance.
| The Madrid papers alleged that the
South American republics have already
subscribed enough to build warship to
be called "Rio de&a Plata" while Mexico
has sent huge donations. The Spanish
army will give days pay.
| Orders have been sent to strengthen the
defenses at Manila and Porto Rico. There
is a good deal of comment upon Americas
purchase Of 90 heavy guns from the ARM
strongs, and 1t is alleged that both Spain
and Japan had previously refused them
after a trial. The impression of the press
and the public generally is that Spain will
be able to make a good showing in the
event Of war, although her men-of-war are
smaller than the Americans
She would depend upon her greater
strength in torpedo boats, torpedo catchers
and torpedo boat destroyers.

tollng Of bells, echoes Of minute guns and
the marked suppression Of the bo.sterous-
ness of ordinary days, the strains or flu
neral airs and the muffled -oll of drums told
those who heard but did not see the So
lemn events passing.
The funeral program occupied most OF
the day in its execution. and the weather
was most favorable. First the body was
taken to Allegheny and placed in state at
8 o'clock In the Postoffice corridors. A
squad of division c, Pennsylvania Naval
Reserves, was the guard of honor. AT II
O'Clock, stil escorted by the military guard
ard a detachment of policemen, it was
brought to the Court House in this city,
where it again lay In state for two hours.
While the people filed by the bier and
bells tolled, the National Guard organiza-
ton and the G. A. r. posts assembled In the
Vicinity. At 2:30 O'clock the casket was
placed on caisson and the march to AL
legheny was taken up.
Through great conourse of men, women
and children the procession marched slow
ly to Christ Protestant Episcopal Church,
Allegheny. Here the impressive and beau
tiful Episcopal services for the dead were
perfected and tender sermon, full Of les
sons patriotic and Christian, was preached
by the Rector, Rev. Robert Mech.
Then came the march to the cemetery,
the final service, the committing Of the
body to the earth. the firing of the salute,
the closing of the grave and the placing
at its head Of an American flag.
