SPAIN LIES ABOUT RELIEF

Washington, April 4.-Rev. Eugene May,
woh has been travelling in Cuba, returned
10 his home here yesterday. His report
of the condition in the island differs in no
essential from that of Senators Proctor.
Thurston, Gallinger and others who have
rectnly spoken and written on the sub
ject. DR.. May says in addition:
The recent revocation of thet reconcen-
trade order is farce, as the people TO
whom il applies are TO i'll TO work and
have nothing with which TO start, had
they the strength. Blanks have been is
sued to the starving wretches which are

ever they need. and sent TO Havana The
mockery of il is that the farce ends with
sending blanks. Nothing IS ever heard OF

idly in 30 towns, but there are between
30 900 and 10000 concentrates who must
die. however generous the relief, for they
are already beyond help"

LEE ARRANGING TO FAVE

New York. April A special TO the
Herald from Washington says:
Consul General Lee has been instructed
to turn the American consulate over TO
British Consul Collin, and has already
made the necessary arrangements with
Collin to do so.
This is mere precaution in case General
Lee has to leave suddenly. He is simply
setting his house in order.
General Lee had a long conference with
Consul Collin, who/courteously agreed 10
do everything in his power in case Cen
eral Lee received 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 Collin will probably have his
hands full If Havana grows violent, as
English residents will be regarded as
Americans if the excitement is great.
Consul Collin. however. believes actual
hostilities between Spain and the United
States will be averted.
General Lee has apparently not aban-
doned all hope of postponment of i'm
mediate hosdlities and his conference with
Consul Collin, it is understood here, was
due, not to his intention of leaving, but
merely to insure the fullest protection
of the consulate and American residents
General Lee. ii is known on all hands.
will stick to his post until it is folly TO
remain longer.

CALLS IT "a TRUCE OE GODn

Madrid. April 4-1:30 p. m.-The cores
pondent here Of the Associated Press has
just had an interview with a high person.
age of great authority who cleared up
many discrepancies in previous reports,
showing just how the papal Intervention
occurred. Unfortunately the name of this
high parsonage can not be quoted, but
no one is better qualified to speak with
knowledge of the subject. This minister
said:
There is no papal telegram whatever.
What happened was that the Spanish
ambassador at the Vatican was approach
ed by Cardinal Rampolla (the papal secre-
tary of state) who told him that the presi-
dent of the United States had allowed it to
be understood that papal Intervention
would be acceptable. The Spanish am
bassador wired here to that effect, and
thereupon we indicated, though having
sent a Categorical reply TO President Nc
Kinley. the terms having previously been
conceded to the last point consistent with
SPANS honor. we were certain the pope
would respect the rights and honor of
Spain. and agreed to his Intervention. 1t
was impossible for our regular army
fighting rebels. to agree to offer an ar
mistice at the suggestion Of a certain
foreign power. but when the father of
Christendom. without force but with vast
moral power. offered Intervention, we
could not refuse it. knowing well that re-
lance might be placed upon his independ-
ent judgment. So, not an armistice but a
truce, a truce of God, has been agreed
upon. This, however, requires action
upon the part Of the United States. con-
sequentiaI to our concession. The rebels
have been. not designedly we believe. as
sisted and encouraged by the presence
Of American warships in the neighborh6od
Of the island. a continuance of this
would initiate against the pope's good
Offices and against the hopes of peace.
We know President Mckinley has worked
for peace. but an influence has beene
growing like rising tide, and it is now a
question whether any barrier or embank-
ment he would set across its progress
would be strong enough to withstand its
force. Spain has shown her willingness
to secure peace by concessions to the last
point consistent with her national honor.
The future depends upon the power of the
American government in controlling hos
tile public opinion.

EUSTIS ON FRANCES ATTITUDE

WASHINGTON, April 4.-Hon. J. b. EuStls,
former United States ambassador to France
was asked his opinion with reference to
NJ. Hanotauxs recent declaration in the
French chamber of deputies touching the
Spanish-Cauban question.
"I have no doubt" said Mr.. Eustis,
| that that declaration correctly repre-
sents the opinion of NJ. Hanatoux. Since
this Spanish-Cuban question has become
serious the attitude of the French govern
ment has become of extreme delicacy.
Having discussed the custom with NJ.
Hanataux, I have always found that his
attitude as regards the Spanish and Amer
lean government was exceedingly proper.
The French aristocracy and the Catholic
party in France naturally strongly sym
pathize with the Spanish government as
aaginst the United States. but they have
no voice in the French government today,
and there is no doubt that the French
government would be absolutely neutral
in case of war between Spain and the
United States.
Mr.. Hanotaux does not sympathize
with either of hose parties and they have
not the slightest influence with him. He
is a man of remarkable intelligence, an
admirably equipped diplomat, always cool,
knowing when to be firm or conciliatory,
and the sincere admirer of our people and
our institutions Re is equally friendly to
the Spanish government and our govern
ment.
1.-The fact is that if our government in
tends to take and decisive action which
would lead to hostilities, it can discard
any apprehension that any European pow
er would take any active part against our
government.
alliances in Europe politics have be-
come so fashionable that they become
most important factor in settling any
European question. bu with us the case
is different. No European power could
have any possible interest in informed
ding in aquetsion of peace and war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
''What do you think of the present cri-
sis?" Mr.. Eustis was asked.
81 think that we are unavoidly drifting
into a war. From the moment that Mr..
Cleveland and subsequently Mr.. McKin-
ley. asserted the right of our government
TO intervene to stop the war in Cuba, I
have never been able 10 discover any pa
cific solution Of this question. 1 would de-
precate a war with Spain. But it is evil
dent that the present situation is becom-
ing uncomfortable, and that the American
people are determined that this running
sore in our iternational politics shall be
cured"

AUTONOMIST MANIFESTO

Washington. April 4.-The home rule
government of Cuba, of the Cuban cabi-
net Of which Premier Galvez is the head,
today issued manifesto appealing to all
those bearing arms in Cuba insurgents as
we'll as Spaniards. by mutual consent and
understandings. to cease hostilities and
consider a establishment of peace on
a strong and firm basis. The manifesto
will appear in an extraordinary issue of
the Official Gazette. probably today, ex-
planning the benefit of home rule, declar
ing that the colonial constitution may be
reformed on broad lines and making
patriotic call for the celebration of peace,
under a previous understanding and mu-
tual consent.
One of the paragraphs of the manifesto
says:
The provisional government ardently
desires, as facts prove, that all Cubans,
with no exception whatever, should unite
in the noble and wise undertaking of re-
storing peace and harmony upon a strong
and enduring basis. The provisional gov
eminent by it's own inspiration and also
as a faithful iterpreter of the warm wish
es of the mother country, addressed it
self to the Cubans who are in the field
fighting to attain what has really been
attained-the triumph of right and jus
tice-with perfect assurance of future i'm
provement and for the orderly and rising
development o fall the resources and ele-
ments of society.
Let the noise of arms cease; let US
shake hands. Let us embrace each ather
warmly as brothers of the Cuban country
regenerated by sacrifice, let us work unit
edly TO make the Cuban people great,
powerful, prosperous. Let us, we sons of
Cuba, come to frank and loyal under
standing to deliberate calmly and resolve
rightly on the best means TO reach by
common accord, peace without dishonor
to anyone and with horror to all. Let us
suspend hostlities in order to hear the
voice Of patriotism between brothers
equally interested in the fate of Cuba"

NOTHING TO MEDIATE"

Washington, April 4.-The official state
ment emanating from the foreign office at
Madrid as TO papal mediation early re-
ceived an unequivocal denial from the ad-
ministration- Several persons who con-
ferred with the president in the course Of
the day inquired about it and received the
response that if the pope contemplated
mediation this government knew nothing
of it.
The chairman of one of the most import
ant committees in congress, just after
emerging from the executive chambers.
promptly stamped the Spanish statement
of mediation between Spain and the Unit
ed States as Madrid roorback.
why should the pope mediator" he
suggested. There is nothing to mediate
I don't believe the step is contemplated.
Why the Diety is the only one who should
be permitted in between the two. I re-
gard the statement in such light that it
never occurred to me to mention it." This
member, like others, referred to media
ton between the United States and Spain
and not between Spain and the insurgents,
the latter being matter with which this
country has no concern.

NOTHING MORE CAN BE DONE

Washington. April 4.-Conservative SEN
atorS who we're at the Capitol early today
announced that the outlook on the Cuban
matter appeared very ominous to them.
One of them who had been especially OPP
timistic and anxious to avert war stated
that everything possible had been done
and failed and that the president had
decided to inform congress definitely that
he had exhausted all diplomatic means TO
settle the Cuban question and to leave
the matter TO congress. There had been
a hope, he said, that Spain might be con-
trolled by the financial iterests. but he
thought the time had gone by. for the
people of Spain could not berestrained.

War History That
Was Made Yesterday

Washington. April 4.-President McKin-
ley was up early this morning. lie ap-
peared to be feeling we'll and moved about
brisl1ly with a cheerful countenance. AS
sistant Secretary Day was the first caller.
He had short interview with the presi-
dent and was succeeded by Representative
Grout Of Vermont, who came by appoint
ment. The interview between the latter
two lasted only q few minutes, but it was
long enough to allow discussion of the
situation and an outline Of what General
Grout proposed 10 do in several particu-
lars at the opening Of congress today.
General Grout had drafted a resolution
and bill for introduction in the house to-
day. One OF them called 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 fund now at the disposal of
the president. The other was bill ap-
propriadng $1,000 600 10 raise the wreck Of
the Maine to ascertain accurately what
occurred when it was blown up.
Chairman Cannon, Of the house commit
tee on appropriations. and Chairman Ding
were with the president for a few min
utes. Chairman Dingley congratulated
the president On his good spirits and adj
vised him that the committee met today
and asked if there was anything that he
wished to communicate. The president,
however. had nothing to submit at this
time, although he spoke in general terms
of the financial requirements that war
would prccipitate on the country.
Senator Gray of Delaware, a leading
member of the committee on foreign reIa- !
tons, was cIoseted with the president
some time
Representative Barrett OF Massachu-
sets, was a caller but did not see the !
chief executive. Mr.. Barrett said he be- |
ieved the best solution of the whole at f,
fair would be to submit to congress d |
proposition for the recognition of u re- /
public That he advocated as simple |
step on which congress would immediate |
~ act and he expressed the belief that i
the recognition would work out its own
end.

lady guests went out driving as usual
A leading member of congress after a
close conference at the White House to-
day said: The message will go into con-
gress 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
TO recognize Cuban independence and may
go further than that. and propose inter
vention. This is his policy and it will be
disclosed in the official action very short

for the colonies, had an interview with
United States Minister Woodford today
Sunday at which he expressed SPANS
willingness to grant an immediate ar
mis.ice. He pointed out that the only
condition Spain asks in return, is one
(which America would grant even if I'M
asked and refers only to her action
after Spain proclaims the armistice."
To the correspondent of the Associated
Press Sunday evening", Senior Moret con-
firmed the announcement made of the
pope's mediation and added that the sug-
gestion did not come from the United
States government, but from Rome direct.

of General Woodford. conveyed the i'm
preston that they both believe that peace
Will result from the present negotiations.
Senior Moret had a long interview with
General Woodford before the cabinet
meeting. and the United States minister
afterwards conferred with Senior Gullon,
the minister for foreign affairs.
After the cabinet meeting Senior Moret
again called upon General Woodford and
had an hours interview with him.
The Correspondence says:
"Spain's reply to the pope, in accepting
his mediation, said the honor Of Spain
would be safe in his hands and that full
justice would be done in the. case owing
tothe high prestige of his holiness every
where.
THE mediation the Correspondence
adds. "can clear up every point at issue,
but we must not be too sanguine, because
things in America have been precipitated
in such violent manner that, even taking
for granted Mr.. McKinley's great faith,
we are not sure the mediation will arrive
in time to prevent congress from making
a question of its own
The ministerial Globo in its leading ar
ticle tomorrow (Monday) will assume an
attitude of reserve, saying: The papal
mediation is satisfactory. but the govern
ment must not discontinue its prepara-
tons for the worst. The good offices of |
the pontiR are admitted but Spain can |
never countenance her rights being ig- |
nored."

DEFINED BY HE VATICAN

Rome, April At is stated in Vatican
circles today that the pope has not for

ever that the pontiff has conveyed to
Madrid his ardent wish for the avoidance
of a conflict and has asked Spain to ar
