States government has yet been communal
Gated to the government here.
Senior Moret, the minister for the colo
MES, has cabled his congratulations 20 tta
Cuban autonomist cabinet on the latter S
manifesto to the government of the Unit
ed States.
The report published in the IMPARTIAL
that United States Minister Woodford is
preparing 10 leave Madrid is entirely
without foundation.
Although there was heavy decline on
the bourse today, which the general pub
lie regards as ominous. it is learned that
negotiations are progressing which viii
much improve the situation.
Strong pressure is being brought 10 bear
by some of the European powers upon the
queen regent and the cabinet for the
granting of an Immediate armistice, 10
take effect as soon as the insurgents shall
accept the proposition. thus securing time
for negotiations in Cuba between the au-
economist government and the insurgents
looking to the Establishment of a perman-
ent peace. II is not known what decision
Spain will take in the matter.

RESPONSIBILITY Is SPAIN'S
senate Committee Fixes Upon Her
the Maine EXPLOSION.

Washington, April 2.-While the Fora
ker resolutions are made the basis and
the principal part Of the measure which
viii be reported to congress by the SEN
ate foreign relations committee, there
Ere some additions to it and some import
ant changes in phraseology.
The next important and, in fact, only
essential, addition is a paragraph fixing
the responsibility upon Spain for the
Maine disaster and citing this as a cause
for American resentment if not for war
The committee was in communication
with the president during the day, and
was informed that while the president
would make an earnest effort 10 get his
message to congress on Monday he might
not be able. on account of the great de-
mands upon his time, to get it in before
Tuesday. He will at the same time sup
ply copies of the consular reports.
There has been some doubt as to what
recommendations the president would
make, if any, in his message. but he gave
the members of the senate who called
upon him today to understand that he
would recommend both recognition of
independence and a declaration in favor
OF intervention. This would be in accord
with the committees action.

AutOnOmist Appeal to Nc kinney
Smacks Of Independence of spain.
Madrid. April 2.-The Impartial, which
publishes the manifesto of the autoLomst
government of Cuba, says some of the
phrases it contains are variously COM
mented upon, but that "the government is
pleased that the Cuban ministry at last
rejects the United States intrusion"
The Ministerial Globo considers the Gu
ban ministry's manifesto as an important
checking of the United States aggres-
sive policy.
IT also says the note of the autonomlst
government tells the United States I'VE
are a legal power; we have stability and
strength and wish to live united with
Spain. We oreiect the Intervention of
those possessing neither the right nor the
occasion to intervene.
The Globo says 1t thinks tire United
States is in earnest and adds:
But should war come they will soon
be taught the inconvenience of entering
into strife wanting in right and equity"
The Pals, Republican, denounces the
manifesto as IAN assumption Of indepenG-
ence injurious to SPANS rights and SOW
ereignty," and describes the paragraph
appealing for President McKinley's SUP
port as deserving of censure from the
Spanish government"
THE very day Spain rejects the United
States intervention for Cubas indcpend-
ence," the Pals adds, "the Cuban ministry
performs an act of independence.

BRANN AND DAVIS DEAD
IcOnOcIasm VIII Never Disturb Waco
Texas ANY More

Waco, Tex, April w. c. Brann. the
fighting editor, died at Lbs a. N. today
as the result OF an encounter last night
in which he fatally wounded his antagon-
list, Captain NJ. 7. Davis. The fight was
the fastest of long series of similar
affairs in which Brann has been partici-
pant or was more or less directly con-
cerned. His vitriolic style of personal
journalism was the chief factor. The
particular motive for the shooting in this
case was the extraordinary attack by
Brann in his paper, the Iconoclast, on the
chastity of the students at Baylor uni
versity, Waco, Texas. Among the stu
dents at the university were two young
daughters of Captain Davis.
Captain NJ. T. Davis. Branns antagon-
list in the terrible street duel. fingered till
O'Clock this afternoon. His death was
calm and his department to the last was
characteristic OF his life manly and
brave When he sank to the sidewalk,
under Brann's bullet, his antagonist, al
though bleeding from several wounds,
was not fatally hurt Captain Davis roll
ed over on his side and fired upward, in
ficting a mortal wound with his last
shot. Captain Davis did not expect to
meet Brann and when the latter accosted
him first he was unarned. He hurried to
his office, got his pistol and when he step
ped from the door of his Office he met
Brann and Ward face to face and the bat
tie began. The men were bitter foes and
fought it out together after their own
fashion, making a bloody ending of
fierce fued, which terminates now and
tranquilizes the city, after adding four
men to the roll of violent deaths in Waco.
In Davis dying declaration before not
airy he made a statement that Ward,
Brann's business manager, who was with
Brann at the time. shot him as he lay
on the sidewalk Upon this statement
Ward was today arrested and jailed,
charged with murder. Brann's body lies
in state at his late residence. The funeral
takes place Sunday afternoon.

who tonight attended brilliant reception

Of the wrecked battleship Maine. 1t was
formal reception given him by the Ma
tional Geographical society Of this city,

upon his message long enough to go over
and Join the guests. Considerably over a
thousand people were there. Professor
Alexander Graham Bell, the scientist, re-
ceived with Captain Sigsbee, as the pres
ident OF the society. The line of guests
occupied two hours in passing through
the parlors OF the Arlington hotel. Secre-

fused to take advantage of the general

me grea trsaasure 70 have the honor of
meeting you" and with few brief words
of congratulation, passed on to the ball
room amid cheering and the strains of

VICE JONES, RESIGNED
Judge BurweII Sworn in When
the Court Meets.

Guthrie. o. T., April 2.-(SpeciaD-The
territorial supreme court met today and
in the presence of a large assemblage
Judge B. F. BurwelI was sworn in as
associate justice and was assigned to
Judge Keaton's district. The spring term
of court for Beaver county was abolished
for the reason that none of the judges
has the time TO make the trip.
Aside from investing Judge Burford
with the full honors of office the most
important business transacted by the su-
preme court was the acceptance Of Edgar
West Jones resignation and the appoint
ment of Capt. Ben F. HegIer of FL Reno,
as clerk Of the supreme court and terri
torial librarian, the combined offices pro-
ducing an annual income Of about $500 g
year. Capt. Hegler, who receives the ap-
pointment, was Chief Justice Burfords
clerk when the latter was judge of the
Second judicial district. He was an ap-
plicant for the clerkship of the First dis
trict when Burford's appointment as chief
justice was announced, but was obliged
10 step aside in favor of NJ. c. Hart, which
also seriously disconnected George bod
son, a Guthrie Republican and ardent
Barnes follower, who naturally thought
he had a sure thing with the governors
Endorsement.
Hegler's appointment as clerk of the su-
premc court and territorial librarian nat
urally raises the question as to what has
become of Governor Barnes promise to
Charley F'ilson that he should have the
Same place when Edgar Jones should
hand in his resignation. Pending this,

that it would be merely temporary and it

regard to Hegler's appointment consider

WAR SCARE IN HAVANA
Americans Advised to Keep Close to
Police Protection


Havana, via Key West, Fla, April =
The strong persuasion put forth by men
of good judgment probably prevented a
demonstration here on Thursday night,
when a story was bruited about that war
had been declared. Police precautions
wer at once doubled, and Americans
strongly advised 10 stay around tho cen
trail and best guarded parts of the city.
Yesterday it was reported at the palace
that three United States war vessels had
been seen patrolling the north coast Of
Cuba. Whether il is true or not, tie cor
respondents here have no means of know
ing. but certainly it was believed AT he
palace 1t may have had something to
do with the departure of tho cruisers
Vizcaya and Almirante Oquendo from the
harbor. though 1t has been known for
some time that these vessels were setting
ready TO sail at any moment. The de-
parture Of the big ships was the signal
for almost as much enthusiasm as We
their arrival. Huge crowds gathered On
the docks and along the shores end
