ACTION IN THE SENATE.
Maine Report VIII Re Referred to
the Foreign Committee.


WASHINGTON, March 26.-It is practically
settled that when the report of the Maine
disaster reaches the senate it will be re-
ferred to the committee or rsforeign relations
Some of the members OF the committee of
naval affairs have felt that that committee
should have the report, in view of the investi-
cation it has been ordereG by the senate to
conduct, but the foreign relations comm ttee
claims jurisdiction because of the interna-
tonal character of the questions involved
and Senator Hale, chairman of the naval
committee said today that he did not now
expect to make any objections to the report
going to the foreign relations committee.
The hope is expressed by all the more
conservative senators that the presidents
message and the accompanying papers would
be allowed to go to committee without any
debate comment whatever In the senate,
but they not altogether confident of ac-
complishing this result.
large majority of the senators have tGcit-
ly agreed that this should be the course. but
has been secured, and there is some ap
make objections to immediate reference or
that of them may offer resolutions pro-
viding for direct intervention.
There Is, however, continued and persist
ent effort to prevent such acton, and the
indications now are that this effort may
succeed There is little expectation of main
tanning silence for more than few days
and it is generally understood that the Cuban
question will force its way TO the front in
the senate under any circumstances by the
end of the week.

PRESIDENT FOR PEACE.
Mckinley Is willing to Meet the
Spanish Ministry Half Way

WASHINGTON. March 26-The pres
ident indicated to all his callers TODAY
an abiding faith that peace still NAV
be preserved, and a determination on
his part to accomplish that end, If it
may be done with honor to the coun-
try and without disregarding the de-
mands of humanity.
He frankly and repeatedly averred
today his desire to prevent conflict.
while at the same time indicating a
firm purpose to secure relief for the
starving reconcentrados
Indeed, the latter purpose appeared
to be the topic uppermost in the pres
ident's mind. He dwelled upon the
fact that the recognition of belligerent
rights or of independence would not be
of any material service to these un-
fortunates. He admitted that such ac-
ton might be of assistance to the men
at arms, the insurgents army, but
they, he said, have shown a capacity
to take care of themselves, and do
not stand in pressing need of kindly
offices.
The president believes Spain will in
terpose no obstacles to our sending
succor to her INDECENT people, and he
will ask congress to act promptly, that
the aid to be given may not arrive tco
late to relieve the present pressing ne
cesSities.
This done, the president is hopeful
that congress will remain quiet while
the executive branch of the govern
ment continues its efforts to secure a
peaceful settlement of the difficulty.
Peace Possible.
He thinks it is not too late to do this.
and he made the assertion today that
Spain was willing to meet the United
States halfway in adjusting the en-
tanglement without coming to blows.
He referred only casually to the
sailing of Spain's torpedo fleet, leav-
ing the impression on the minds of his
visitors that he considered that so far
in this matter, Spain is acting within
the bounds of her own rights and that
no just complaint can be made yet by
this country in regard to this course.
He did not enter into details regard
ing the propositions he may make or
may have made to Spain, for undoubt-
edly some are now pending, but ne
left the impres sion that he would be
satisfied with no settlement that would
not give the Cubans a very liberal
form of government
He admitted frankly that autonomy

ST. JOHNS, N. F., March 26-The
steamer Greenland, returning from the
seal fisheries, put into Bay de Verde to-
night and reported a terrible disaster
On Wednesday last when among the
ice foes, while her crew were travelling
about the foes in search of seals, a
storm arose, accompanied by binding
snow, which 6rifted rapidly and a
severe frost. The members of the crew
who were on the ice could not regain
the vessel and were exposed to the
terrible weather throughout the night
and all the next day. Forty-eight men
perished, and between fifty and sixty
were so badly frost bitten that the am
putation Of one or more of their limbs
will have to be undergone by all of
them.
Yesterday the Greenland succeeded In
recovering the bodies of twenty-five Of
the victims, but the remaining were

No Cabinet Meeting.

Rumors of a special cabinet meeting
tonight were caused by the entertain
ment Of several visitors at the White
house and brief individual calls. of two
members of the cabinet. The president
entertained at dinner Vice President
Hobart and Senator Fairbanks, of IN
diana. Later on Secretary Long and
Attorney General Giggs paid brief
separate visits, but they were stated
to be entirely of personal nature.
Some significance attached to a call
OF Chief Clerk Michael, of the state
department, who bore several docu-
ments for the presidents consideration
but he denied that they were of un-
usual Importance.
Senator Hale, chairman Of the foreign
relations committee, talked with the
president for some time
Secretary Long tonight, specifically
stated that the question of action to
intercept the Spanish torpedo fiotilla
had not been taken up today. AS the
flotilla is pushing slowly ahead in mid
ocean afar from means of communica-
ton, it will likely not be heard from
for some time, and officials meanwhile
are at loss to know its whereabouts
Asked as to a report of the receipt OF
the reply from Minister Woodford Sec

come to his knowledge

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-03-27

gravely discussed by the highest naval
officials, there is no intimation that
steps towards actually intercepting the
fiotilla have been matured or even
considered, except in the most general
way.
1t is stated on high authority that
the reports that the flying squadron
under Commodore Schley, might be
utilized in this connection are not war
ranted by any steps thus far taken
On the contrary, it is pointed out, the
entire plan of the flying squadron was
developed before the torpedo boats left
the Canaries, and it was designed for
quite another line of work.
In this connection, Representative
Hilborn, of California, one of the SEN
ior members of the house committee on
naval affairs, was at the navy de-
partment today and talked with the
officials concerning the movements Of
the Spanish flotilla. Mr.. Hilborn pre-
sented a new phase of the case and
one not in line with the current view
of naval officials.
1T is not for us to interfere in any
way with the movements of the Span
ish torpedo f1otilla or other Spanish
vessels said he. The high seas are
an open highway to the ships of the
world, and while there is no declara-
tion of war we are not in a position
to say that these torpedo boats shall
not move as Spain sees fit TO direct
them. When we are assembling our
ships at Key West and other points, it
is not the time for US to intercept the
movements of Spanish ships. That
would be an overt act, and not permis-
sible in the absence of declaration of
war"
