The Fern Is a dispatch boat without
heavy armament or guns. although she
belongs to the navy and is technically
naval vessel. As she comes as near be-
ing a transport as anything in our naval
service, her selection will accord with
the Spanish suggestion that a transport
or merchant ship undertake this carriage

The sending of the Montgomery TO Ha-

Fern. which is now at Havana. The
Montgomery is an unarmored cruiser of

Time Arrives.
Washington. March lit can be stated
on the highest authority that the attitude
of Speaker Reed and some of the other
republican leaders, who have sought to
keep down the lingo" spirit in the
house has been misunderstood by the
public Their purpose in delaying action
on the bin creating two additional regi-
ments of artillery was to prevent. as far
a possible. any undue alarm. While II is
not generally known. II is nevertheless
true. that the republican leaders of the
house have given the administration
surances that any emergency action
which may be deemed necessary to uphold
the dignity of the country will be prompt
~ ratified.
The whole aim of the republican lead
ers under the leadership of the speaker
has been and is to avoid hasty action or
the possibility. so far as possible. Of in
eendiary utterances on the floor which
might make diplomatic settlement of
the controversy more difficult. But the
administration understand that the ma
iority of the house is behind them and
that the money and men will be voted
without stint when called for.

Many senators express the opinion that
the most effective method of dealing
with the question would be to take up

man of the committee. expressed the
opinion that the bill should be referred.
saying that the committee would prob
ably be able to report 1t within "a hours.
Senators who favor the bill say 1t Is a

New York. March THE Worlds Ha-

ter b. Barker. consul at Sagua La Grande
for the United States, has resigned. 1t is
alleged in Spanish circles that Consul
Barker's resignation Is on account of fric-
ton with Consul General Lee over the
improper distribution of American char
ity. but the Worlds correspondent de-
clares that Mr.. Barker is a warm per-
sonal friend OF General Lee. According
to the correspondent, Consul Barker feels
that the American government in Its ac-
tivity regarding Cuban affairs has ignored
all the consular reports and that the con-
suls. to all intents and purposes, are use
less as channels of information.
