THEY SEEK SAFETY
WOODFORD'S FAMILY LEAVES
SPAIN FOR FRANCE.
HAS LEE LEFT HAVANA !?
Agent Of the Plant Line Is Advised
That Consul General Is on the
Mascotte Bound for Key West-A
Havana Dispatch Contradicts This
Statement.

Madrid, April THE family OF
Minister Woodford started last even
ing for Biarritz, France. The stan
Of the United States legation which
left Madrid will probably remain in
Paris for the present. Nevertheless
the latest information is CT a more -
surfing character. The cabinet held a
very important session yesterday. Thu
French ambassador visited Woodford
in the afternoon. The official state
ment that affairs have taken a pacific
turn has not yet become generally
known and public opinion remains
much excited. The bourse declined
heavily, owing to the belief that there
is dissension in the cabinet, which,
however, the ministerial supporters,
deny.
The hope of reaching a peaceful
settlement with the United States is
growing stronger. 1t is reported that
basis of an armistice in Cuba has
been arranged. If this is true the
royal decree will appear in the Gazette
today or tomorrow giving the condi-
lions of the armistice
The ViZcaya and Almirante Uquendc.

advised that the steamer Mascotte
left Havana for Key West at 2:3O
o'clock yesterday afternoon with Con-
sui General Lee and staff and SO other
passengers, many of whom were.

Havana, April Tine attitude of
the public is quiet and one of ex-
pectancy. The order maintained is
admirable. Lee assures the Associ-
ated Press that he has received no in
structions to leave Havana. 1t is re-
ported, however, that some consular
records were sent north by the Mas
cote YESTERDAY. Today, holy Thursday,
and tomorrow, good Friday, will be
re1igiOusly observed. No business of
any kind, will be transacted and even
carriages, cabs and street cars are

discussion OF the resolution lot the
acquisition of the West India islands
owned by Denmark. The session
closed by the practical withdrawal OF
the resolution by Senator Lodge, it's
author.
Washington, April 1.-The house
passed the naval appropriation bill
after several amendments had been
voted down and much spirited debate
engaged in. The house then adj
journed till Monday, as did also the
senate.
Washington, April Alt is frankly
ly and openly charged in the senate
by Mr.. Perkins (Cal.,) in set speech
that Spain is responsible for the Maine
disaster, as it was brought about by
Spanish Vaccinations and Spanish
treachery. Mr.. Clay (dem., Ga.)
while hoping for peaceful
solution of the problem de-
clared strongly in favor of indepen-
dence of the Cubans and pledged to
the administration the loyal support OF
the south, which in event of war
would have to bear the brunt of the
conflict Mr.. Perkins took substan-
TALLY the same ground. Mr.. Mantle
Mont) expressing confidence in the
administration maintained that the
time for action had now arrived. Mr..
Rawlins (Utah,) entirely eliminated
the president from consideration in
his speech, holding that the case
against Spain was already made up
and with congress rested the RESPONSE
bility of declaring war. For congress
to wait longer was only to invite
criticism
Washington, April Awhile there
was no attempt to force consideration
for the resolution regarding the Gu
ban situation in the house, there was
brief outbreak in the course OF which
the warlike temper of the crowded gal
leries was SO manifest that Mr.. Reed
threatened to clear them. The out
break occurred over the bill to author
iZe the president to erect temporary
Notifications in case of emergency
upon land when the written consent Of
the owners has been obtained without
waiting for the long process of legal
condemnation. This led to demand
by Mr.. Bailey, the democratic leader,
for Information as to the facts which
warranted these war measures. The
particular statement which aroused
the galleries was to the effect that
while the democrats were willing to
wait a reasonable time for the presi-
dent to transmit message, they
would not wait minute for him to
continue negotiations with the butch
ers of SPAIN When the demonstra
tons in the galleries were rebuked by
the speaker, Mr.. Bailey, declared that
the galleries we're the American peO-
pie in miniature Mr.. Cannon (rep.,
ILL., accused Mr.. Bailey of ''postur-
ing'' and playing to the galleries. The
bill was passed.

Gen. Fitzbugh Lee has been made
military governor of Habana. Just
when this was done is not known, but
that it is fact, remains doubt no
longer, as the information come
from source the reliability of which
is beyond question. 1t will be re-
membered when Gen. Lee was re-
called from Havana by our govern
ment and the last boat loaded with
American citizens left, he was ieered
and sneered at by the Spaniards on
the warf, when he responded, Il will
see you again" The South Carolina
troops, which are part of Gen. Lees
command, will 60 with him to Cuba
when the proper time comes, to do
garrison duty if peace be declared, or
to help capture Habaua if more fight
ing is to be done. Our soldiers are
anxious to get to the front, and they
will be glad when they are ordered
to go.

Always Favor a Fair Tote.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
1t has been a considerable time
since I got circular note from G. NJ
Efrd, Esq in regard to the Free
Ferry" question. I have been so en-
gagged that the matter has escaped
my attention till now. I am always
in favor of fair tote" in everything
pertaining 10 public as we'll as private
affairs. I am perfectly willing to be
taxed to maintain two, or even three
free ferries on Saluda for the reason
that, if Saluda was a smaller stream,
we would have to build at least five
bridges over it, and being larger
does not acquit Of our obligation to
the people at large and especially
those on the north side. Living as |
do, very remote from that portion of
the county, my desire for the ferries
cannot be put in any other light than
wish to do my duty toward the
people of the county at large.
Yours for justice,
J. I. Lyles.
