Washington, April 14.-It was learned
tonight in high diplomatic quarters thai
an exchange of notes had begun between
the European capitals with view to
making representations on the Spanish
American situation. In the same con-
nection an informal meeting of the am
tassado,s and ministers in this city OF
the six great powers of Europe, was held
late in the day. Several of the foreign
establishments received advices from
their governments tonight as to the
opeuing of the exchange of notes. This
had been anticipated, in view of the
nrevailipg sentiment in all the foreign
Quarters here that the action thus far
taken in Congress made war inevitable.
The common opinion had been officially
reported to the several European capi-
tails and it was doubtless instrumental
in starting the active exchange between
the powers today. The same exchange
occurred o week ago as preliminary to
the Joint note of the great powers present.
cd to President Mckinley, mildly urging
a peaceful settlement with Spain. 1t is
understood, however, that the present
movement is not of the same mild char
acter as the former one. simultaneously
With the opening of the exchange, word
came from Madrid that the Spanish gov
er.n,ent was about 20 issue another ap-
peal to the great powers of Europe. 1t
is understood that this appeal is initia-
tory TO the concerted action of the powers
and there is apparent agreement in ad.
vance that tn, appeal will receive f.
vorablo consideration. 1t is said that
Spain's appeal will recito her grievances
against the United States, stating in de-
tail the many concessions she has made
and pointing out that it WAS in response
70 the urgent representation Of the six
Joint powers that tho last concession of
IN armistice was granted. II the powers
deteruiue TO act, their influence will
nroLal,ly be particularly directed toward
inducing the United States to grant
Spain sufficient time within which to
try the armistice recently proclaimed.
During the recent joint action of the
mowers. their main influence was exerted
at Madrid, the only action at Washington
being the courteous expression OF hope
for neace. But the present movement
contemnlates that the influence shall he
exerted at Washington rather than at Ma
dr,d as if Is the common belief in diplo.
matte quarters that the Madrid authori-
ties have reached the limit of concessions
and should now be given adequate time
to try what they and the powers have
offered as q means of restoring peace in
Cuba.
There is no suggestion, however, that
this influence at present will be of ma
terial character, but it is said to be an as
serton of all the moral influence of the
powers in checking tendencies which, it
is believed, inevitably will lead to war.
| Up to q late hour tonight word had not
been received at any of the various for
eign establishments that any common
basis OF joint action had been reached, al

washington, II pfl lf.~1huoi"su Ia 'i4o
Cuban question centered at the Senate
wing of the Capitol today, while the reso-
buttons reported yesterday by tie Senate
committee on foreign relations were under
consideration. The most significant event
of the day was an attempt TO fix the time
for taking a vote and the failure to do so
on account OF the desire of many Senators
to debate the resolution ST considerable
length. 1t is impossible now to say when
a vote will be taken and tho utmost
friends of the resolution Eope for is to
secure vote by the end Of the week.
All day long conferences Of Senators
were held locking to a possible agreement
upon the form of resolution to he sent to
the President. Great efforts were made
for the House resolution which was
known to have been satisfactory to the
President and which was supported by
the conservative Senators. 1t is not be-
Heyed that the House resolutions can pass
the Senate and the prospects are that the
committee resolution will have an amend
ment recognizing the republic of Cuba
before it is passed, the friends OF fecog-
milton claiming clear majority for it.
The conservative Senators believe the
House proposition will win in conference,
she impression being that the House will
refuse 10 yield and in orcer to prevent
further delay the friends of Cuba in the
Senate will accept the House proposition.
When the Senate adjourned tonight,
Senator Davis, in charge of the resolution
repeated his intention to ask the Senate
TO sit continuously after the beginning of
the session tomorrow unless an agreement
to fix time for vote can be secured.
"I see no other way Of tringing the
matter to an ISSUE" he said. ''1 do not
enjoy night sessions any more than other
Senators, but appreciate the Importance
of getting the speeches off and of secur-
ING q vote at the earliest possible hour. "
Anxious as Senator Davis and Others of
his mind are for speedy yoto, the indi-
cations are for considerable delay. The
Vica President already has received re-
ouesrs from about twenty Senators for
recognition to speak and others are eS-
pected to make similar application. All
these insist that they have no intention OF
sneaking for the purpose of causing delay
Int peyerthelsss they will consume many
hours of time. It would seem now that
even in case of continuous session a vote
would not be probable before Saturday.
The list of those who have expressed a
desire to speak includes the following
Senators: Cullom, Daniel, Frye, Till-
man. Wolcott, Spooner, Chiffon, Platt of
Connecticut, Cannon, Pettigrew. Proctor,
Burrows, Bacon, Wellington. Stewart,
Caffery, Hawley. White and Rawlins.

that there would be little difficulty in ar.

the prevailing sentiment abroad. 1t is
nos SO certain, however, that all of the
powers are ready for step of this char

Germany has of late shown disposit-
ion to avoid exerting strong influences
on the United States. Russia is also
thought to be somewhat Indifferent.
France and Austria are most active in
the present movement as they were in the
former one. Whether all Of the six great

is in doubt, and without this united act

Willimantic, Conn, April 14.-The deal
which involved the transfer OF the

reasons but chiefly, it is alleged, on ac-
count Of the war outlook the English
capitalists are shy of the investment. 1t
is understood the syndicate has offered
new proposition to the stockholders which
involves paying somewhat less than half
of the price it has when the stock is
taken and giving the securities of the
American Thread company, which is to
be formed for the alliance. The price
agreed upon for the stock remains the
same. however, as under the original deal.
