Senate Foreign Committee Agrees to
Drop Cuban Situation Just Now.
WASHINGTON, March s1.-The SEN
ate committee on foreign relations held
two sessions yesterday and adjourned
a few minutes before o'clock without
reaching any agreement. Commander
Bradford Of the bureau OF equipment
was before the committee for several
hours giving expert testimony as to
the relative strength Of the navies of
the United States and Spain and also
advscatin the purchase of the island
Of st. Thomas of the Danish West In
dies as a naval station.
The committee, as a result of its ses-
sions, agreed to postpone the compile
tion Of the committees work on the
Cuban situation for a few days In or
der TO afford time to the president to
continue his diplomatic negotiations
with the Spanish authorities. This con-
cession was the result Of a request
made direct to members of the commits
tee by the president, and it was grant
ed by the entire committee without any
murmuF Of dissent
Previous to this action on the part
of the committee the president had
been very frankly informed that nell
ther the committee nor the senate
would be disposed to acquiesce in any
agreement for an armistice. This op-
position is understood to have been
made clear on behalf of the joint Re-
publican and Democratic steering CON-
mittees OF the senate, and It is under
stood to have been met by the presi-
dent with the response that this gov
erument would not press the matter.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The Re-
publicans OF the house who are ag-
gressively in favor of prompt and ener-
getic action in the Cuban matter and
who met Tuesday night in conference
held another meeting after the house
adjourned last night. At Tuesday
nights meeting i6 members were pres
ent. Last night they were re-enforced
bv 90. making a total Of 1l5. This con-
stitutes considerably more than ma
iority OF the Republican membership of
the house. and the members say that il
by no means represents the full strength
Of those who will be satisfied with noth-
ing short Of the complete Independence
OF CUBA.
The speeches. while vigorous and
yielding nothing. were in favor Of Civ
ing the president an opportunity to
mature his policy and Of completing the
negotiations in which he is now en-
gagged. Many Of the leaders In the
movement saw the president yesterday,
and all he asked was a brief delay.
Action by congress before the pend
ing negotiations are completed, he told
them, would embarrass him and might
result in q complete rupture. Mr.. Hull
and Mr.. Bromwell and others explained
this situation to the conference. They
counseled acquiescence in the presi-
dents desires. A rupture with the ad-
ministration was greatly TO be deplor-
ed and should, they argued. only occur
as last resort

Word Comes From Havana That He VIII
Not Consent to an Armistice.

Not Consent to an Armistice.
HAVANA. via Key West, March 31.--
Sunday and Monday were days Of de-
cided anxiety in the political and busi-
ness circles of Havana, but Tuesday
and yesterday there was a much
more quiet feeling. Without being able
10 give any good reason for their belief,
many prominent men seem satisfied
that peace Is assured The word "ar-
mlstiCe" Is repeated from lip to lip as
If there were some magic within IL to
solve the whole problem of Cuban strife.
Those, however, who know General
Maxine Gomez. General CaliXto Garcia,
Senior Bartolomeo Masso and the other
insurgent leaders best say that all
reckon without their host who believe
these men will agree TO an armistice,
even if asked 10 do so by the United
States, Unless it is plainly understood
that the truce is TO be followed by
recognition Of Cuba Llbre
Il IS argued that General Gomez. after
holding out all through the dry season,
VIII decline 20 agree to truce during
the rainy months. in which the insur-
gents would have the advantage. on
all sides II Is regarded as almost certain
that il war does come it will not come
until all possible plans of accommo-
dating difficulties fail. A Spaniard OF
high influence. while talking recently
with Consul General Lee, said:
THE Sagasta ministry will not he
compelled to fight to insure self pro-
| lection. Sagasta could quiet Spain by
/ proclaiming. We have made Cuba an
ash pile. desert It is no longer worth
/ any outlay of blood or treasure. II is
/ only ~ for negroes and mixed bloods.
Let 81 CO.
But very few take such view of the
situation. although ignorant Spaniards
might be deceived by such a declara-
tlon. Meanwhile 1t seems as II the
| Spanish military and naval powers that
be are either convinced that there is no
danger of active hostiltes or are mt
terly careless OF the grave conse-
| luences that the future may hold.
There are no visible preparations tC
provision Havana in case Of a block,
ade. nor is there any notable increase
IN the coal supply for naval uses. Ir
the opinion OF Americans here one OF
the gravest dangers lies in the fac
that the ignorant classes OF the city
are not in any way advised as to tn,
chances of war or siege They believ,

 Little Prince Alexander. the eldest son of the dead Prince Henry, husband of Princess Beatrice, of England. has al- ways been noted, from his earliest childhood, for bartering proclivities. He lends marbles and tops at interest to his cousins. the little Connaughts. and on one occasion, got up quite a little corner in dolls, which he succeeded in purchasing at a great reduction from his small Albany cousins.
 The other day he received a present of one sovereign (s5) from his mother and, having quickly spent it, applied for the second. He was gently chided for his extravaganza, but, unabashed wrote to his grandmamma. The Queen had been warned of the financial en- barrassment, and she replied in the same strain of remonstranee. whereup- on the Prince responded:

A cloth at the back of the easel behind the mirror space conceals the boy when he climbs to his perch on the shelf. The cloth is numbered and lettered in duplicate of the mirror, and the boy is armed with powerful magnet. The fly is of cork, with an iron core. which is set fiat against the glass in a lowered corner of the mirror, where it is held by the magnet.

 Going to the top floor of the tene. ment house the cat acted in a peculiar manner.
 She looked down, pondered a while. then deliberately leaped over and was dashed to death on the pavement be- low.
 A cat always falls on it's feet. but Tounette's head struck first. for she de. hberately doubled up her feet and would not be saved.
