the news to that body. That the dangers to
American life were considered SUFFICIENT
reason for non-action appeared in the post
ponement of the proposed meetings to con-
slider the situation.
The proposed armistice by Spain in
jected another feature into the discussion
of the situation, and while some were very
hopeful that a satisfactory solution Of the
problem might eventuate form it, the gen.
eral feeling was that the conditions in
Cuba, the determination Of the insurgents
to continue fighting until independence
was recognized, and the sentiment Of this
country in favor of Cuba's independence Of
Spain, possibly made overtures on this line
too late.
A QUIETER FEELING
A gnerally quieter feeling was evident at
the war and navy departments, where. in
contrast to the feverish excitement Of the
past week, the tone was almost apathetic.
While there was the usual amount of rou-
tine attendant upon the recent work Of
preparation, things settled down almost
to the normal. No more contracts for
new vessels were closed by the navy de-
partment and no changes in the stations of
ships announced.
Assistant Secretary Meikeljohn Of the
war department made public a statement
showing that up to this time there had
been allotted to the department $9,279. .167
from the emergency fund of $4,000 900 ap-
propriated by congress. The different
bureaus receiving this money are: Ord
nance. $4,233,767; engineers, 4,42c.c00;
ouartermasters, $500. 900; signal officer,
s120. 400. OF the entire amount allotted,

of the work begun and the munitions of
war bought is by the contract system the
government is liable for considerable of
the remainder.

All who were not Heartily in sympathy

AT BALFoUR's STATEMENT OF
:. ORIENTAL CASE
Opinion Il General That the Ear East
ern Policy Has Proved Flat
Failure

NEW YORK, April GA dispatch to the
World from London says:
The promised statement by Arthur j.
Balfour, government leader and acting
Foreign Secretary in the House of Com
mons on the Eastern question, was a pro-
found disappointment. The House was
crowded and every embassy except the
Russian was represented In the diplomatic
gallery.
Mr.. Balfours announcement was as fee
BILE In manner as In matter, and 1t was re-
ceived with marked GOODNESS by the sup
porters of the government. They listened
with unconcealed humiliation to the long
tale Of Russian diplomatic triumphs, un-
relieved by single substantial advantage
obtained for England. The fact that Bal
four's tone in speaking of Russia was in
consistently hostile. showing a deep sense
Of injury and apprehension Of future ag-
gression, only accentuated the weakness of
the British government in making no ade-
uate counter move to the occupation of
Port Arthur and Talien Wan.
Sir Charles Dixie put the case in a nut
shell when he said: "This policy of leas-
ing Wei Hal Wei was adopted last Wednes-
day to throw dust in the eyes of the public
and satisfy the critics of the government
in the ministerial press. Wei Hal Wei is
valueless unless fortified. and Mr.. Curzon
never answered my question whether the
government proposed to fortify 1t. AS to
the assurances Of China in relation to the
Yang Use valley. they are equally illusory.
as the valley has no frontage and could
not be defended IL Russia chose to descend
upon it,
The important feature of Balfour's
-~k- A..
dicate possible future developments, was
his appeal to the commercial nations of the
world-the United States, France and Ger
many-to join with England to prevent
Russia from absorbing the Chinese trade,
but the belief is universal that the govern
ment, SO far from being rehabilitated has
been still further seriously weakened by
Balfours general outline of its Far East
ern policy.
JAPANESE FEELING
LONDON, April 6-The Yokohama cor
respondent of the Times says:
For the first time public opinion in japan
= vehemently excited. There is no gem
eral opposition to British occupation of
Wei Hal Wal, but there is a feeling that
japan must assert herself and secure some
other foothold on the Asiatic continent.
The government is hampered by finan-
cial considerations, but will probably be
obliged to yield to public pressure. Sober
people and the officials generally favor a
British occupation of Wei Hal Wal, and
m Anglo-saxon entente pour parler, for
which are proceeding favorably.
The Daily Mail says this morning: We
learn fSom an authoritative source that
England and Japan are in complete ac-
cord regarding Wei Hal Wei, but secrecy
Is entailed. until complete settlement has
been achieved, which 1t is believed will in
clude an arrangement whereby England
Will advance the money to enable China to
pay the indemnity in full, and thus to OBJ
tain Japanese evacuation of Wei Hal

to day until the message appeared and the
house had acted on the Cuban resolution.
But Mr.. Hull Of Iowa, who Is pushing the
army reorganization bill, made such an
ardent plea to allow the bill to come to a
vote, that the proposition was temporarily
abandoned. Whether 1t will be revived de-
pends largely upon the course of events.
1t can be stated, however, that 1t Is thor
oughly contemplated One of the other
chief developments of the day was the
proposition, in the event of a split on the
Republican side, that the Democrats would
unite with the radicals and allow the lat
ter to force the issue. If the Democrats
should assume the aggressive the chances
are they would solidify the Republicans
against them.
INTENSE DISAPPOINTMENT

New York;. April 6.-Intense disappoint-
ment was exhibited by all hands on board
when the Associated Press bulletin re-
garding the reported settlement at Madrid
was read.

fidently believed the fleet would sail tomor-
row or Friday for Havana or Porto Rico,

still a chance that the Aemrcan navy may
have an opportunity to show what it IS
made Of, but he regrets the delay, which
will probably enable Spain to bring her
torpedo fotilla and other war ships to these
waters. All the high naval authoreies on
board maintain that Spain should not be
allowed to bring her forces over pending a
settlement.
Cadet Engineer Castleman of Louisville,
KY, on board the New York, received or

ing ship Franklin.
At $40 p. m. the Mascotte arrived, with
96 passengers aboard. She is coaling at the

here. Every stateroom on the Mascotte

SPAIN SENDS OUT
 A LITTLE "FEELER"
Declares That Peace Suggestions Have Been Made by the
 United States.

MADRID, June 25.-It Is reported here that the peace conditions suggest ed by the United States include the possession of Porto Rico, the independ- ence of Cuba with an American pro- tectorate. a naval station in the Phil ippine Islands, and a coal depot in the Canary Islands.
 WASHINGTON, June 25.-The an- nouncement from Madrid that the United States has suggested peace con- ditions with Spain was received here with great interest for the reason that the report was regarded as a "feeler" set afioat with the distinct purpose of developing the state of public feeling in America, as we'll as in Europe There Is no basis of fact for the re- port, for at the State Department it met a prompt and unqualified denial at every point. No overtures have come to the department from any re- sponsible diplomat as yet, looking to the consummation of peace Still it is known that some of the representa- tives of the European powers here. realizing the serious inroads that are making upon European commerce by the continuance of hostilities, stand ready at any suspicious moment to sound our Government as to what con- ditions might serve as a basis of ne- gotiations for a brief period These diplomats would naturally closely watch the effect upon the people of the United States of such a rumor as this coming from Madrid, and if the general sentiment seems to incline to the acceptance of some such conditions, they would be quick to advise their governments in the expectation of re- ceiving instructions to approach the Government of the United States on the subject.
 The terms suggested in the Madrid dispatches seem calculated to tempt that element In the United States which, realizing the impotence of at tempting to restrain altogether the popular desire for territorial acquisi- tion, seeks to confine it within the low est reasonable limits. The conditions are such as naturally might suggest themselves to the Spanish element most inclined for peace as a proper basis for negotiation, although 1t can- not be expected that they would ini- tially comply with the demands of the United States.

 KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 25.-Mor- ro Castle. the most formidable defense about Santiago harbor, Is reported on excellent authority to have been aban- doned by the Spaniards. If this be true it will be the simplest task for Admiral Sampson. with such vessels in his fleet as he deems necessary for the work, to enter the harbor, attack Admiral Ger vera's fleet and assist General Shafter in capturing or destroying the cit of Santiago.
 Admiral Sampson has been ready for week to smash this last remaining fortiflcation at the entrance to the har- bor. It was his intention to have made the a1tack last Saturday, after he had verified the information from shore that Lieutenant Hobson and f1ls felluW- heroes of the Merrimac were no longer conIiued in the ancient and picturesque structure.
 If rne Spaniards have deserted the castle the American fleet will likely have lttle shooting to do until 1t gets within range of Cervera's s ships.
 The officers in the American fleet have been intensely indignant over the course of the Spaniards in imprisonfng Lieutenant Hobson and his men in Moro. They suspected this was done

solely for the purpose of deterring the Americans from assaulting the castle.
 The Spaniards apparently were com pletely unnerved by the terrible de- struction done bv the dynamite guns of tho Vesuvius about the Notifications across the harbor from Morro, and used Hobson and his men as shield as long as they could with safety to them selves.
 It ---~ been known to Admiral Samp- son for nearly week that the Spanish gunners have not dared to sleep in Morro at night. They have been aban- doning their guns at sunset, returning to the fortification early in the morn ing.
 Neither Admiral Sampson nor any of his officers expected the Spaniards to desert Morro entirely. It 1t has been abandoned it looks as if the ene- my intended to mass all it's guns and men in Santiago citv where one last desperate stand against American and Cuban forces will be made.

OFF SANTIAGO DE CUBA, June 23, by the Associated Press dispatch boat to Port Antonio. Jamaica, June 24- The situation as regards the disposi- ton and location of the American, Spanish and Cuban forces is as fol- lows:
 General Shafter's army of 16,500 men is massed to the eastward of Santiago de Cuba, at Baiquiri and Juragua; General Castillo, with 12,000 men, is at Baiquiri, and Colonel Aguiri, with 200, at Jura -'o These are to be joined by General Garcia with 4000 men. Three thousand of General Garcia's men hold 2O00 Spaniards in Holguin, and Gen eral Rabi. with 1000, threatens 2000 Spanish troops at ManZanillo. In San tiago there are believed to be 5000 Spanish soldiers with such reinforce ments as are to be had bv the concen- tration movement in progress.

believed that the expected Ministerial crisis has occurred.
 LONDON, June 26.-The Madrid cor respondent of the Sunday Times says: Admiral Camara's fleet will not go to Manila, but to another port in the Philippines, to land troops in order to hold a strong position. The fleet will then be ready for action, and if Ad- miral Dewey wants to fight he will have to leave Manila Bay. Admiral Dewey will thus either leave the bay unprotected or divide his fleet This move has made a good impression here.
 Interest to-day centered in the meet ing of the Cabinet. It is believed that the Ministers favor overtures for peace, but disagree as to the manner in which they should proceed and this may pro yoke a crisis and precipitate the end
