A STARTLING RUMOR.
Dead for weeks--The Authorteies
Have Suppressed the News.

London, May 9. = In the
minds of many well-informed
persons the character of the
dispatches from the vatican
during the past week lends col
or to the strange rumors afloat
in Roman Catholic circles con-
cerning the health of the Pope.
Some go so far as to hint that,
Notwithstanding the numerous
statements attributed to His
Holiness in the press, Leo XIII,
has been dead for some weeks,
but fearing that if the news was
officially proclaimed. the result
would be disastrous to the
chances of an early end to the
war between America and
Spain, the Vatican authorities
have suppressed the announce
ment. In support of their
startling. and to ordinary
minds absurd. conjecture, the
alarmists cite as a significant
fact that it is a rnle in Rome not
to announce the death of the
Pontiff until the conclave OF
cardinals has been summoned
and his successor elected.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., April III.
has been day OF momentous and ex-
citing events in Congress. Not In
years have both houses been engaged In
consideration of such important busl-
ness as that which was brought before
them to-day. Both committees having In
charge foreign affairs. reported re,oiu-

mean war with Spain. The house
passed the resolutions reported by the
majority OF its committee and the sem

In the early part OF the day 1t seemed
that there was possibility that unani-

nnitter on Foreign Relntions-DIaErace-
fai Scene on the Floor During Debate.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April 13.-The
house OF representatives. to-day, after
one OF the most exciting and memorable
days In its history, by a vote OF ss2 to
10. adopted a resolution which nine
senths OF Its members believe makes
war with Spain inevitable. It is q fact
which was grimly commented upon to-
day by members as they spoke OF the
future. that every war In which the
United States has engaged in began in
April and that to-day was the auniver-
snry OF the fall OF Fort Sumter, which
aroused the patriotic fervor OF the
north and made the four years Of civil
strife certainty.
The resolutions adopted direct the
President to intervene at once In Cuba
to restore peace and secure to the peo-
pie OF this Island "a stable and indepen-
dent government OF their own" and au-
thorizes him 10 use the army and navy
to execute the purpose OF the resolu-
tIons. Although onlg nineteen members,
fifteen Democrats, three Republicans
and one Populiss, dissented upon the
final vote.
Trivial matters occupied the atten-
tlon OF the house for the next hour,
while the members on the floor and the
Spectators In the galleries. impatiently
awaited the presentation OF the resolu-
ton from the committee on foreign nf-
fairs The suspense OF the members
Tas almost unendurabie. but shortly be-
'ofe J O'clock, Mr.. Adams OF Pennsyl-
Tanla, the acting chairman OF the COM
ntiee. entered the hall with the re-
Port. Instantly, q hush fell upon the
vast assemblase. The presentation OF
'he resolutions was the occasion for a
VIA outburst OF applause from the
galleries and the floor. It was evident
mat the war spirit was rampant.
VI. Adams asked unanimous consent
tor the consideration OF the resolution,
ana Ar. Bailey reserved the right to
