leve his mind of this worry
Il am also Disguised with the conduct OF Gov
ernor Bushnell. Before the election In public
speeches he pretended that he desired Mr.. Han
mas return TO the United States Senate. Since
that time he has consorted with the enemies of
the Republican party to defeat the will OF the
people. I look upon this as square case of OBJ
tanning votes by false pretences."
Judge Nash. as chairman Of the State Com
mittee. Is taking active interest In the cleo
ton Of Senator Hanna. and says that the last
State Convention in Toledo named Mr.. Hanna
for Senator. as well as nominated Mr.. Bushnell
for Governor AT the last State Convention in
Toledo. Governor Bushnell wanted Charles l..
kurtz selected as chairman Of the State Execu-
tive Committee q place which Mr.. KurtZ had
held for the two previous ampagns-in 1898.
when Bushnell was first elected Governor. and
in 1S0G when the Presidential ticket was in the
field. 1t is said that the head Of the State ticket
by precedent has always named the State cam
paign chairman. In 1896 the Secretary Of State.
Charles Kinney, headed the State ticket and
opposed Kurtz for chairman but Governor
Bushnell secured the reaDpointment then Of
Kurtz as chairman over the protest OF Kinney.
When the last State Convention nominated
Bushnell for Governor and Hanna for Senator.
the latter defeated Kurtz for chairman and Sc

Is the cause OF the present fight against Hanna.
1t has involved all the old fights OF former years.

POLO READY TO GO.
Spanish Minister Makes Ready to Leave
the Capital.

Washington, D. c., April 4.-The Span
ish minister feels that war is imminent.
and is making his arrangements to retire.
The family of one of the secretaries of the
legation sailed from New York on Satur-
day, and when it becomes necessary for
the rest of them to leave the legation will
be placed in charge of the Austrian minis
ter, who will run up the Austrian flag
over the building until it's contents can be
shipped to Madrid or otherwise taken care
of. and l understand the Austrian con-
suls in New York and elsewhere will look
after all Spanish business. Gen. Wood
ford will place the archives of the Amer
lean legation in Madrid in charge of the
British minister, should it become neces-
sary for him to leave that place, and Gen.
Lee will ask the good Offices of the Brit
ish consul at Havana in the same manner
The Spanish minister here insists that
Spain will not strike the first blow. He
says she will make every concession pos
sible to the United States. but she will
not attack our fleet except in self-defense.
That policy has undoubtedly been adopt
ed by the Spanish government in order to
win the sympathy of the European
powers.
New York, April A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
"COnsul-General Lee has been instruct
ed to turn the American consulate over
to British Consul Colin, and has already
made the necessary arrangements with
Colon 40 do so. This is a mere precau-
ton in case Gen. Lee has to leave sud
denly. He is simply setting his house in
order.
Gen. Lee had a long conference with
Consul Colin, who courteOusly agreed to
do everything in his power in case Gen.
Lee receives orders to leave. or is forced
to seek refuge on the Fern with the other
Americans by a sudden uprising of the
Havana populace.
Consul Colin will probably have his
hands full if Havana grows violent, as
Americans if the excitement is great.
Consul Colin, however believes actual
hostilities between Spain and the United
States will be averted.
Gen. Lee, it is known on all hands,
will stick to his post until it is folly to

WORK ON MESSAGE.
President Receivers from Fatigue
and Begins to Prepare His
Com uniCation.

Washington, D. c., April 4.-Presdent
Mckinley was up early today and in
readiness to take up the serious work of
the day. The past few days have been
very fatiguing to him and he has shown
to some extent the effect Of the numerous
conferences that have occupied much Of
his time and the long deliberations pre-
liminary to the Iabors of framing the
eagerly awaited message to Congress.
Today he appeared to be feeling well
and moved about briskly with a cheerful
cOuntenance.
Assistant Secretary Day was the first
public man to appear at the white house.
He came about 9 o'clock and remained
some time. Representative Circuit Of Yer
mont came very early by appointment
with the President.
Mrs. Mckinley and her party of young
lady guests went out driving as usual.
The official statement emanating from
the foreign office at Madrid as to papal
mediation is receiving an unequivOcal de-
NAL from the administration. Several
persons who conferred with the President
in the course Of the day inquired about it
and received the response that if the
Pope contemplated mediation this govern
ment knew nothing of it.
The interview between the President
and Gen. Circuit lasted only a few min
decision of the situation and an outline of
what Gen. Circuit proposed to do in sever
al particulars at the opening of Congress
today. Gen. Circuit has drafted a resolu-
ton and bill for introduction in the
House today. One of them calls for the
absolute removal of the Spanish flag from
the island, the recognition of the republic
of Cuba and the distribution by this gov
eminent of supplies to be sent by this
country and paid for out of the $50,000,-
600 fund now at the disposal of the Presi-
dent. The other is a bill appropriating
100000 to raise the wreck of the
Maine to ascertain accurately what oc-
Cured when it was blown up.
A leading administration member Of
Congress, after close conference at the
white house today said: THE message
will go in to Congress about Wednesday.
The President has taken a very firm and
determined attitude and he means to
carry out that policy to the letter. The
President intends recognizing Cuban in
dependence and may go further than
that and propose intervention. This is
his policy and it will be disclosed in the
official action very shortly"

AVENGE THE MAINE.
But Senator Mitchell Would Not
Have interviewed in Behalf
of CubanS

Washington, D. c., April 4-[Special.l
Senator Mitchell of Wisconsin, who is
one of the most conservative men in the
Senate and has never advocated interven-
ton in any way until the receipt of the
report of the Maine disaster, received a
letter this morning from Paul D. Car
penter of Milwaukee, a son of the late
Matt Carpenter in which an argument
for peace is made and in which the re-
port of the Spanish court of inquiry is
cited as grounds for not accepting as
conclusive the finding of our own court
that the Maine was destroyed by an eX-
ternal explosion.
To this letter Senator Mitchell replied
this morning as follows:
Paul D. Carpenter, AUTOMATICALLY Dear
Sir: Your favor of the ID inst. to hand.
| have never favored armed interference in
Cuban affairs. l did not feel that we were
bound to redress the wrongs of Cuba by re-
sorting to war, but the Maine episode will
not down. OVer-refnement of argument is
useless; it stands before the American peo-
pie plain case of treachery, peridy and
cruelty. 1t runs in the Spanish blood; there
is little else in it's history. Any nation that
would permit such an outrage to go I'M
punished would not deserve to exist. There
are some things worse than war. There
are some things better than money.

Ascertained.

New York, April 2.-The Evening
World prints a copyrighted Dispatch dat
ed April 1, sent from on board the
Worlds dispatch boat Triton via Key
West which says:
THE Spanish warships Vizcaya and
Oquendo no longer lie like big watch dogs
across Havana harbor They are on their
way to Porto Rico. The Worlds dis
patch boat followed them until this was
made certain.
They left their moorings at ; o'clock
this Friday afternoon and started east
ward along the north coast of Cuba. For
days both of the big Spanish cruisers
have been ready to sail at an hours no.
tice. Their coal bunkers were filled al
most two weeks ago.
Late last night package of sealed
orders was sent out to the two warshlps.
Early this morning preparations for their
departure were begun. Boat after boat,
loaded down to the gunWaieS with prOVlS-
ions of every kind, started out from Ha-
vana wharves for the Nizcaya and Oquen-
do.
'The Evening World correspondent
boarded the Vizcaya at 10 o'clock. He
was received most cordially by Capt. Eu-
late in his cabin. All | know about it,
said the Vizcayas commander, is that
we are going away, but where l have not
the faintest idea. Our orders are sealed,
and | shall not open them till | am several
miles out at sea.
"A correspondent was put on board the
Triton. with orders to follow the cruisers.
The correspondents narrative continues:

open gulf they turned TO the westward

coast in that direction After they had
reached a point on the coast about five
miles westward they turned completely

The watchers on the Triton were as
tonished. Could it be that the Vizca va
and Oquendo had changed their plans and
were returning to Havana! Under a
speed Of about IL knots an hour they
passed MORO for the second time. the
Vizcaya leading the Oquendo by half a
mile.
Down the coast to the eastward of
Havana the two men-Of-War passed in
procession. At a distance of seven
miles from land the Triton paralleled
their course, sailing. at about the same
rate of speed. As the sun dropped down
below the horizon the Nizcaya and
Oquendo became lost to view in the
shadow Of the long green hills of the
shore.
THE two ships had increased their
speed a little by this time and were jog
ging along at about 10 knots. They

the Vizcaya and Oquendo until they
rounded Point Guanos.
Point GuanOs is twenty-eight miles
to the eastward Of Havana. Had either
of the two men of war had any idea Of
going to United States ports they GER
tainly would have turned north at Point
Guanos. But they did not. At a speed
of IS knots an hour they kept on to the
eastward. The course that they fol-
