at Washington Resented.
Madrid, April 8, $50 p. m,-The politi-
cal barometer has taken another upward
turn. The Bourse to-day showed an ad-
vance of points in responses to London
and Paris; and the general talk Of the
town is peaceful.
The attitude of England at Washington
is much approved, as she had hitherto
been regarded as siding unreservedly
with America
So far as Information yet obtainable
goes, the powers have not addressed a
collective note to Spain similar to that
presented at Washington, although IL is
known that their representatives here
have long been working with the Spanish
government to secure peace.
Upon receipt of the dispatch from Senor
Polo Bernabe, denying the report that
the Spanish legation at Washington had
been attacked an official denial was Is
sued to the public. Much Indignation was
expressed even among Spaniards at this
sensational attempt to excite the crowd.
Press censorship has now almost reach

Gen. Lee Said to Have Important In
formation About the Maine.
Washington April S,-Representative
Lorrimer of Illinois is authority for the
statement that Gen. Lee will make some
startling disclosures before the Senate
committee on foreign relations when he
arrives here, regarding the conspiracy TO
blow up the Maine. 1t was announced yes
terday that Gen. Lee would be called be-
fore the committee, but the nature of the
testimony expected from him was not dis
closed.
Il understand that Gen. Lee is to supply
the missing link In the testimony" said
Mr.. Lorrimer. my information is that
Capt Sigsbee is in possession of facts, but
doesn't feel at liberty to give them until
the person who gave them to Tim releases
him from the secrecy imposed. That per-
son, 1 understand, is Gen. Lee"
1t is said that the information Gen. Lee
is expected to testify to relates to the ex-
tinguishment of the electric lights in Ha-
vana at the instant of the blowing up of
the Maine. Electrical experts have said
that if the light went out in Havana at
the time of the explosion it would be con-
elusive evidence that the mine under the
Maine must have been fired from a shore
electrical connection. Capt. Sigsbee, be-
fore the foreign relations committee said
he had information that the lights had
gone out, but did not thing it advisable TO
give the name of his informant while he
was in Cuba. His informant is said to be
Gen. Lee.

Madrid, April s, 1015 p. m.-The minis
ters continue their reserve respecting yes
terday's cabinet council, but it is be.
lieved to have been occupied principally
with a telegram from Cardinal Rampolla,
papal secretary of the state relative to
the papal action.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the discussion was very
animated between those favoring and
those opposed to further attempts at ne
gotiations.

views, and was listened to with great at
tention.

to the attitude of the United States, the
nunciature here has issued the following
note: 1.-The nunciature has to-day higher
hopes than ever for the success of papal
intervention. 1t Is not true that President
Mckinley has rejected the Pope's inter-
vention in favor of peace. Such impolite-
ness would be the more impoitic, not only
because it would display a barbarous in
tolerance, but because, however much any
person might be the Pope's enemy, it
would be impossible to misinterpret the
voice of the venerable old man who rec
ommends the preservation of peace. On
the other hand the Catholics of North
America would never pardon such dis
regard of the vicar general of their
church."
The general tone of the evening papers
is one of satisfaction with the interfer-
ence of the European powers, as showing
that the latter realize Spain's determined
attitude against further concessions to
America Some doubt is expressed how
ever. as to the result of Intervention, lest
the European concert repeat the Cretan
performance.

thing officially formulated by the Pope.
A cabinet minister, In an interview on

his statement yesterday has done good In
Madrid and will do good throughout Spain,

on the evident fact that the sober sense
of Spain is slowly coming to the front and
that in a few days 0f few days can still
be had), we shall see "a crystallization of
public sentiment that will sustain the
present Spanish government IL it has the
courage to do at once the things that are

Salvation Army Indians.

People in Carson are wondering WHY
the Indians who got up "A tandan.o here

ton. The bucks now insist that they arc
all good Salvation Army people and will
run their business on the Salvation Army
plan. They put in their time dancing
and getting drunk, and when taken To
task for these acts as being at variance
with the Salvation plan, it was discover
ed that the Indians were laboring under
the impression that all they had to do
to be SalvatiOnists was to make a big
noise and ask the public to chip in.
One of the Indians had watched the
SalVationists play in front of business
houses, and after receiving a little money
they would move on.
His idea was that if a great noise was
made On a drum that the people who
contributed money did so as an induce
ment for them to quit playing and make
some more noise for other people fur
