NEARLY READY FOR WAR.
House Votes 100000, Not Single Mega
tive Vote Being Cast,

House Votes SIS, 100000, Not n Single Mega
tive Vote Being Cast,
Washington, March 9.-In a spirit of
patriotism, with eloquent words ringing
in their ears, every member of the house
of representatives yesterday responded
to the presidents first call to meet the
Spanish situation by casting his vote
for bill placing in President McKin-
ley's hands $50,000,OO0 to be expended at
his discretion for the national defense.
Party lines were swept away, and with
a unanimous voice congress voted its
confidence in the administration. Many
members who were paired with absent
colleagues took the responsibility of
breaking their pairs, an unprecedented
thing in legislative annals, in order that
they might go on record in support of
this vast appropriation to maintain the
dignity and honor of their country.
Speaker Reed, who is the presiding off,
GER, seldom votes, except in case of
tie, had his name called and voted in
capacity as a representative. The
scene of enthusiasm which greeted the
announcement of the vote-ayes, 311;
nays, none-has seldom been paralleled
in the house.

NEvER-ENDING COAL TROUBLE.
Breaks Out with Prospect of Causing a
General Strike in Illinois.

ers is probable as result of the cut in
wages by the Big Muddy Coal company,

company has made a contract with the

below the Springfield scale, or 3S cents
q ton.
The contract is to be in force for one

GERS of the company give as the reason
for the cut that on account of shipping

Washington, March THE Spanish
situation developed two new phases
yesterday when it became known that
the Spanish government had formally
requested the recall of Consul General
Lee from his post at Havana, to which
request the United States had courte-
ously but firmly refused to comply; also
that the Spanish government has sug-
gested the improperly of relief supplies
to the Cuban reconcentrados on the
cruiser Montgomery and gunboat Nash
vile, to which suggestion the United
States had given like answer in the
negative. The first intimation of these
steps came In brief and explicit cable
dispatch from Madrid Prior to its
receipt, however, the authorities here
had been fully conversant with the
facts, although no intimation had been
allowed to get to the public on either
subject. The disclosures from Madrid
left no further ground for reticence in
Washington, and after q conference at
the White House between the presi-
dent, Assistant Secretary Day and Sec
rotary Long the following authorized
statement was handed to the Asso-
ciated Press by Judge Day. as compris-
ing everything that was to be said by
the administration on the subject.
Neither Request VIII BE Granted.
''The president will not consider the
recall of General Lee. He has borne
himself throughout this crisis with
judgment, fidelity and courage, to the
presidents entire satisfaction. AS to
the supplies for the relief of the Cuban
people all arrangements have been made
to carry consignment this week from
Key West by one of the naval vessels,

most available for the purpose, to
