House would take the report on the
 Maine. The President does not know how emphatic the report will be. nor does he know what circumstantial evil dence the Board of Inquiry may have as to the agency that caused the blow ing up of the Maine
 He knows there are many men in ditions, and he feared that action might be taken which would seriously compli- cate the situation.
 Speaker Reed assured the President 1t is believed, that when the Maine re- port is transmitted 1t will be referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs in the House and held there until the Unit ed States can make its representations to Spain and Spain can reply.
 Vice-President Hobart and a large number of Senators have said the same thing for the Senate, and it has become certain there are influential men in both houses, representing both parties, who will speak and work for delay.
 The darnpening of the Congressional powder magazine has had a good ef- feet, and it is hoped that wise diplo- macy may be allowed to run its course.
 The general question of Cuba has also been much discussed. The Presi- dent is firm in his determination to act in this matter, either in connection with the Maine question of just after 1t Is out of the way. His mind to-day has been running on the question of recog- nizing the independence of Cuba in conjunction with England and some of the South American republics This proposition has been very seriously en- tertained 1 have reason to believe that the President has been considerably shaken in his view that 1t IS practicable. He has had before him to-day all pre- cedents, and he finds that never before was there a case like this Heretofore there has always been a Government with capital to recognize.
 In addition to this, such men as Sena- tor Davis and Representative Hit have declared their emphatic disapproval of the recognition of independence Sena- tor Davis says the only thing we can do is to intervene by force of arms.
 Representative Hit is in favor of letting Cuba alone. The President is determined that, come what may. the United States shall continue to send re- lief to the reconcentrados. If Spain withdraws her consent relief will go just the same. He believes that by doing this and improving the condition of the sufferers the Government will de- prive the jingoes of one of their prin-

 < "The situation is graver than < 4 it has been at any time" <
 Everything is now ready for the reception of the report from the Maine board. The details of the method to be pursued in handling that. report were agreed upon at conference held at the White House this morning-a most significant conference it was, when all the cir cumstances surr ounding it are talk en into consideration.
 The report will not reach Con- gress before Thursday. An off cial declaration to this effect was made tonight. It may not be sent to Congress even on Thursday, though the present indications are that it will be.
 There is no disposition, as mat ters stand now, to keep the report itself and all matters pertaining to it from Congress. It was for the purpose of finding out what the House would do-how far the House could be held in check that Spe aker Reed was invited to confer with the President this morning. MT. Reed went to the White House about II o'clock and was in consultation with the Presi- dent, Secretary Long and Chair man Hit of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs for half an hour.
 The only point of importance discussed at this conference was as to whether the Speaker would be able to suppress the jingoes so as to prevent hasty and incon- siderate action. The Speaker was given to understand that the report would indicate an external explo- sion, but that the board had ia ailed
The San Francisco call., 1898-03-22

to find any evidence directly in volving the representatives of the Spanish Government in the de- struction of the big ship. It was pointed out that in view of such a report it would be necessary to present the situation 10 Spain through the ordinary diplomatic channels, but that pending reply from Spain the House must take no action.
 The Speaker alluded to the strong war feeling in the House, but assured the President that there would be no hasty action.

more time for the working out of a peaceful solution of the Cuban prob lem.
 Thus it will be seen that the President wants more time He no longer wants time to prepare for hostllities, because he believes that we are ready for any contingency now, or will be ready at the rate work is being rushed. but he wants time to avoid war and procure a peaceful and honorable outcome. He told all his callers to-day that he was we'll aware of the difficulties that con front him, but to no one did he intimate that he saw way out. That Is what he is looking for. and he will continue to look for until he receives all the facts in the Maine report. Then, if there is no way out, he will act in two days.

THE PRESIDENT
 LOOKS FOR PEACE
 WITH SLIGHT HOPE
Assured by Leaders in Congress That He Will Not Be Embdr- rassed by the Hot
 Heads.

NEW YORK, March zI.-A Wash
 Nothing short of reparation for the
 Maine disaster and the termination of \ Spanish sovereignty in Cuba will satis- fy the majority of the men in Congress.
 These results are what the President expected to obtain peaccably. if pos sible, by war, If necessary It does not follow, however, that Congress will drive the President and the country into war There Is a conservative element in both houses in favor of going slow and resorting to war only if it is thrust upon the United States by Spain. In the conservative element are included the leaders of the House and many of the members, influential men in the Senate on both sides of the chamber Speaker Reed will stand in the House like a stone wall against any hastY and ill-timed action, and in the Senate ad- vantage will be taken by the conserva- tives, if necessary, of their power of de laying action by unlimited debate.
 Even among the political opponents of the administration there are con servative men who deprecate any effort to play politics with such a situation as now confronts the country and to trust everything to the President. unham- pered by any criticisms or suggestions from Congress as long as he proceeds. as they believe he will, in a manner in keeping with the honor and dignity of the United States.
 On the other hand, if they believe the President is trying to use the Spanish situation for political purposes on his side, there will be determined effort on the part of the Democrats to have Congress take the whole matter out of his hands and pass a resolution calling for intervention to stop the war in Cuba.
 As to immediate action, a great deal will depend upon the nature of the re- port of the Court of Inquiry and the message which the President sends to Congress in transmitting it. It is ex- pected the President will inform Con- gress in his message of the diplomatic representations which he has made to Spain, and will say that when the reply from the Spanish Government has been received he will communicate further.
 Under the rules message would be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations in the Senate and to the Com rnittee on Foreign Affairs in the House. There has been some talk among oDpo- nents of the administration of opposing this reference and bringing on debate at once on the Presidents Cuban policy. but it is improbable that this will be done. The Democratic leaders with whom I talked to-day told me that the message would be allowed to take Its usual course without opposition unless 1t should be apparent that the President was attempting to delay matters so as to carry the question over for its effect | on the fall elections.
 Chairman Davis of the Senate Com mittee on Foriegn Relations has long believed that armed intervention by the | United States would be necessary to end the war in Cuba, but no one real izes more fully than he the responsi- bilities and difficulties with which the

President IS surrounded, and he will
 not favor any action in his committee that will tend in any way to embarrass the President in attempting to reach a peaceful solution of the situation. He would be glad if the President can sue ceed on these lines, but feels it would be impossible.
 The House Committee on Foreign Affairs, presided over by Representative Hit Of Illinois, can be depended upon to take conservative action. There are some hotheads among its members on both sides, but Chairman Hit and Rep resentative Dinsmore of Arkansas. the leading Democrat on the committee. both very conservative, and they will be able to withstand any efforts to have the committee act rashly or without full consideration of the results that may follow
 In order to be prepared fully for the future the administration began to-day filling up all the pitholes in the path of peace. It is to be expected the country will flame with excitement when the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry comes in. The aim is to keep the ex- citement from doing harm.
 As Speaker Reed puts 1t in his quaint way, It is desirable to guard against an inside explosion in Congress even if there is an outside explosion"
 Therefore, while all phases of this great international problem touching the honor and happiness of the two na- tions have been discussed to-day, the one that overshadows all others in momentary importance has been the necessity of precautions in Congress to prevent the first false step and the mis- carriage of matured plans. President Mckinley and Speaker Reed have had one of their very rare meetings. and the result IS that the situation IS easier In the first place, the President did not now, before he saw. MT.

Oliver Is Captaiu.

At a meeting of the football team last
evening Bert Oliver was elected cap
tain of the team for the coming season.
Oliver is very popular with the public
as well as the players. Besides. he is as
good a tackle as there is playing this
year on any of the big Eastern teams.
He will do much toward retaining the
championship for the Anaconda team
which they so justly won.
OF course Butte can question Ana
conda's right to the championship by
another game. but II is not thought
here that they ave players enough In
Butte to make a winning team. About
the only noticeable element the Butte
team has left is Benson's generalship.
The feeling among the players OF the
local team is very harmonious, which

team work.
The boys will let up training for a
short time. but as they are all working
hard, ii is not thought they will be
lacking in condition If Anaconda can
again defeat Butte by such a decisive
score as they did in the last contest,
and also defeat the visiting teams. II
Is not unlikely that the team may take
a trip to the coast or some Eastern
city.

once the case was one of varioloid.
DIR. mckenzie, as county physician,
Immediately q-uarantined the house and

the patient not being confined to her
bed. but she is In the condition known
as the vascular stage.
Last night DIR. Mckenzie went to
work to get the patient and all those
who have been exposed to the disease
put of town. They cannot be removed
to the old pest house, as there are no
buildings left there. What were not
burned down have since burned and
people have built houses close to the old
site. so that location was Immediately
given UP. 1t was hen thought thai a
good site might be found up Sheep
gulch, where a vacant and unclaimed
cabin Is located. DIR. Mckenzie visited
his spot last night, but gave that up,
as he considered II dangerous, as the
water draining this proposed camp
comes past q number of other houses
in the gulch n Is used by the people
there for household purposes.
Finally a site was selected up Mill
creek. about seven miles from town.
near McCune's old camp. There the
pest house will be located. Three tents
were ordered sent put there last night
and provisions and other necessaries
will follow. The sick woman. her
brother, Mr.. and Mrs. Rutherford n
family will all be sent out TO the camp
as soon as possible and then they will
be isolated. After they move out of the
house all the bedding n such mate
rial will be burned and the house thor
oughly fumigated.
DIR. Mckenzie said last night he
hoped to be able to confine the epidemic
TO the one household. and he believed
he would be successful in doing so. for
as far as he could learn there had been
no others exposed, and with the entire
family removed seven miles away there
would seem to be little danger of its
spreading. The chances are that the
case will prove an isolated one.
