CARTER COURT MARTIAL.

Savannah, Ga, April 19-The evidence
in the Garter case will be concluded to-
morrow, and it Is expected the argu-
ments will begin ON Thursday. To-day
was spent in putting in rebuttal on the
part of the prosecution. Only four wit
nesses were introduced by the Judge
Advocate. Chief Clerk j. w. o. Ster-
ly made a few denials of statements
maue by witnesses for the prosecution.
Two other witnesses gave a little brief
testimony on the same line, and then
Captain G. +. Gillette, the main prose-
cutting witness went on the stand. He
testified as TO his conversation with
Captain Carter in Washington at the
time he was on his way here. Captain
Carter told me Sterly knew all about
him, he said. but | did not ask him
for any explanation of this remark, nor
did he give it.
Captain Gillette stated that he was
prosecuting this case, and had been ac-
lively assisting in the prosecution ever
since it began. not only from sense Of
duty, but from a feeling of personal re-
SpOnsibility as well. Col. Barr. the
Judge Advocate, announced that he
would conclude his rebutta tomorrow
with a map of the Tybee break-water
made from new survey. The argu-
ments will then begin.

time the putting into effect of the Con
gressional resolution, but the President
is disposed not to brook any further de.
lay. 1t is only fair that in great
question like this reasonable time shall
be given.
IF Spain refuses to evacuate Cuba,
prompt measures will be adopted to
put into force the Congressional resolu-
ton. A blockade of Cuba will, SO far
as is at present understood be begun at
once. There are an adequate number
of war vessels in the vicinity to make
this effective | think such supplies as
the Spaniards now control will not last
them more than a month. Then steps
will be taken with a view of increasing
the equipment of GomeZ's soldiers, and
furnishing them with sufficient hard
tack for food. This will enable him to
harrass the Spaniards from the rear
which will materially assist III bringing z
them to terms. My own individual idea
is that it will probably take two months
to bring about the results which will
compel the Spaniards to evacuate and
enable the island to be occupied by the
United States without molestation.
mo, the United States government
will not issue any letters of marque and
repriSal nor countenancc privateeFing,
but if the Spanish government chooses to
enter upon this line of warfare, she will
have to deal with the nations of Europe,
with whose commerce she seeks to in
terfere."

Madrid, April 19.-Q D. m.)-The gen

ternOon says negotiations are actively
proceeding between the colonial govern
ment of Cuba and the insurgents of that

Submission of the latter as a result of
further concessions regarding autonomy.
2:30 p. m.-The terms of the speech
which the Queen regent will deliver at
the opening of the Cortes tomorrow are
ieaously guarded, but it is said that the
speech will prove firm, convincing and
satisfactory to the national sentiments.
1t is claimed here that perfect unani-

Madrid. April 19.-The supporters of

'Ihe times are so grave. and the cir
cumstanceS are so exceptional that acts
and not words are necessary to face the
present difficulty ATTEMPTS are being
made to sully the glorious history of
Spain by an infamous calmumny. The
different Spanish governments have done
their utmost to avert the war to which
we are being provoked. We have now
reached the limits of concession, COM
patible with honor and territorial integri-
ty. We consented to the hast concession
at the instance of the Pope and the

glTie II0ase Presented a Most Desolatt
, Appearance When it Convened.

Washington, ID. c., April 19.--The
House presented a most desolate appear
ance when it convened at noon, after
the weary all night session.
Mr.. Dingley and Mr.. Bailey, the lead
ers of the respective sides, General Gros-
venor and other House veterans showed
few signs fof the long siege they had
passed Through
While the Journal. which was very
lCng, was being read, Mr.. Hager (Rep.
Iowa), Chairman of the Committee on
enrolled bills. brought in the Cuban res
olutlon which had been enrolled under
his personal direction. The Speaker inn
mediately signed them and as soon as
the reading of the Journal was c0nclu-
ded at 1916 p. M, he announced his
signature.
There was no demonstration. The
enrolling clerk at his side seized the
resolutions and hurried with them across
the capitol.
Mr.. Grosvenor, then as Il question of
personal privilege, had read at tn.
clerks desk, an editorial in a New York
paper commenting upon his statement
in the House on April Z, that this war
will be fought under the banner of the
Republican administration of this gov
crnment or it will not be fought at all.
Mr.. Grosvenor explained the circum.
stances under which the statement was
made He had been delighted with the
record the Democratic party had made
and in the statement he had only meant
that as the present administration had
three years to run the war which was
upon us must be fought during its life
or not at all. He had meant no reflec-
ton and had appealed to both sides of
the House to stand by the Executiv,
who had been assaulted.
"In this connection" concluded Mr..
Grosvenor, Il desire TO say | believe.
this war will he energetically waged in
a military sense and in the legislation
necessary to carry it on, and believe
the response to the call to arms will he

division. 1t will come from Democrats

and especially do | believe the response
to patriotism will come from every

Mr.. Dingley stated Gn view of the fact
that the House had been sitting all
night and that the members were weary
he would move to adjourn. Accordingly
at 1872 p. m, the House adjourned.

the early hours Of this morning. The
votes we cast were Il manifestation of
devotion to principle, to the principles
long upheld by the Cuban patriots.
A running fire of debate ensued be-
tween Mr.. Hale, Mr.. COckrell, and Mr.
Spooner, Wisconsin,.
Mr.. Bacon, Georgia., continued the
discussion of the position of the Demo
Gratis taking the same position he took
last night that as the Democrats had
voted time and again i'll support OF
their positiOn, so they voted to sustain
il by opposing the conference report
which struck out the provision for recog-
nirion of independence. Mr.. Bacon con
tended that as only matters of difference
go into conference, the vote in the Sen
ate on the conference committee report
was only on the Turpie amendment foI
the recognition of the insurgents, and
that consequently those who had voted
against the conference report had only
again recorded themselves i'll favor OF
the Turpie amendment.
Mr.. Fairbanks asked whether or not
Il vote in favor of concurrence was not
in fact a vote for the resolutions.
Mr.. Bacon replied that it was not by
any means because the conference haV-
ing jurisdiction only over points of diff
ference it's report could cover only such
points of difference and the vote of The
Senate could cover only such points. He
contended that the Senators who had
voted for the resolution originally had
lost their only opportunity to support
them.
Mr. Spooner said he did not profess
to have voted for the resolutions because
they did not meet his views but that he
had voted for the report in order to bring
about Legislative adjustment even
though he was to an extent swallowing
his own words.
Mr. Bacon contended that he had
proved tnat Mr.. SpoOner had never voted
for the resolutions. Here the two Sen
ators fell into a technical discussion as
to what was implied in vote for a con
ference report in which many Senat tors
participated.
All this had been in the way of inter
ruption during Mr.. COckrell's speech
He resumed at this point his discussion
