IN NO HURRY.
People are Taking Their Time in Leav-
ing Havana:

New York, April 8.-A special cable
grom from Havana to the Commercial
Advertiser today says: The expected
exodus of Americans and others has not
occurred yet except on small scale.
When the ~Bache and the MangroVe ar
rived on Tuesday following the official
notice from the state department that
they had been sent to take away Amer
leans who desired to go it was believed
that many would leave Immediately.
The Bache and Fern are here still
The Mangrove was prepared to go on
Wednesday but only II persons ap-
peared for passage and Gen. Lee
thought it unnecessary to send the ves-
sci out then. She left last night with
so persons. On Wednesday word came
that all quarantine restrictions We're
removed and that the Mascotte and the
Olivette would make extra trips to take
people away and that the Yucatan from
go to Key West. for the same purpose,
but only 90 people left on the Mascotte
on the regular trip; Wednesday she
73 more. Yesterday the Yucatan ar
rived, six days from New York. She
stopped at Palm Beach over night to
and left for Mexico direct without going
to Key West. The Olivette has been
waiting at Tampa, it will arrive here on
Saturday at the special request. of Gen
lee. x list of passengers has been
prepared for the Bache and Fern.
General Lee and the newspaper men ex-
may leave on Saturday, but the pro-
gramme is subject to change.
The alarm of the people, which was
very pronounced three days ago, subsided
when it became known that the presi-
dents message was MOTTO be sent to con-
gress this week and the official news that
the queen had taken Cuban matters out
of the ministry's hands and acceded to the
demands of the United States also allayed
feeling. People who had decided to leave
decided, with the usual Spanish proc1ivity
for procrastination to wait and they be-
lieve here that present indications point
to an immediate settlement. If they are
mistaken in this there may be no boats
to take them in case of sudden excite
ment next week. The United States gov
ernment has given them every opportuni-
ty to escape if they desire to go, but does
not propose to urge them to get out

HUNTING HER JEWELS
Mrs. Roosevelt is Having the Ashes
of Country Club House Sifted.

New York April S.-A handful at
time. the ashes of the Long Island Coun-
try clubhouse which burned on Sunday,
are being sifted by experts in the hope of
recovering at least small part of $4,000
worth of diamonds that were in the house
when the fire started. The men are
working with the utmost scrutiny under
instructions from Mrs. Robert Roosevelt,
whose husband is a wealthy member of
the club.
While nearly every one of the forty
members living in the clubhouse lost dia-
rnonds Mrs. Roosevelt suffered more Sc
verely than any of them. In her hus-
bands room was a trunk which contained
among other articles jewel case in which
were diamonds and other stones valued
at IS 900. When the house burned the
trunk vanished utterly from sight, re-
duced to fine ashes.
A lapidary,, upon being consulted by
Mrs. Roosevelt, told her that the stones,
if recovered, would be only slightly i'm
paired, though the settings, of course,
would be melted, so she at once set about
making a systematic search for the gems.

OPPOSED BY RAILROADS.
Attorney of the L. & N. Objects to
Amendments of Interstate
Commerce Law.

Washington, April S.-The senate in
terstate committee resumed it's hear
ings today on the bill amending the
interstate commerce law. Mr. Hines
assistant attorney for the Louisville &
Nashville Railroad company was the
position of Mr. Knapp that the bill did
not extend the scope of the original act
as understood at the time 1t went into
effect
He objected to the bill for three reas-
ons that it gives effect to the orders
OF the interstate commerce commission,
without any judicial decision; that it
proposes to change the law it applies
TO long and short hauIS and that it
proposes to give the commission power
to fix rates, change classifications and
prescribe rules for the regulation of the
interstate commerce of the country
All these he considered radical modifi-
cations of the present law and he op-
posed them streifuously

REED MAY YIELD
If he Finds That a Majority of His
Party is Against Him.

Washington, April S.-The steering
committee of the Republican house con-
ference appointed last Wednesday to
canvass the situation and ascertain
how many Republicans will if the pres
ident's message does not go to congress
next Monday join the Democrats to Sc
cure action upon a resolution declaring
for Cuban independence and armed in
tervention, will meet at the capitol this
afternoon.
Mr.. Lorimer of Illinois, one of the ac-
tive spirits in the movement and a men,
Der of the steering committee says that
over 100 of the house Republicans have
already agreed to act with them. He
is confident however that they will be
obliged to join with the Democrats to
overrule the speaker in order to secure
action.
Il am satisfied" said he, that once
we show the speaker that we have a
majority of the Republicans he will not
stand in the way. The speaker has not
up to this time believed that a majority
of his party desired to act, but once
evidence of that fact is presented to
him, have the strongest reasons for
believing he will bow to the will of the
majority"

To Give Up Cuba and Guaran-
tee the Safety
Of the Young King and the
Queen Regent.

New York, April s.-The following is
James Creelman's dispatch from Ma
drid to the Journal:
I cabled to you yesterday that the
stories of peace" and Cancellation"
sent from here were untrue. And now
I will go further and advise you that
there is not one word of truth in the
cunningly conceived announcement that
the queen regent is about to take some
step which insures Cuban independence.
Neither is there ministerial crisis in
Spain.
statement which Senior Moret made to
me today. Remember that Moret is the
brOadest, best informed and most pro-
gfeSSiVe man in the cabinet. He speaks
with as much, If not more, authority
than Sagasta. He is the one dominant,
masterful statesman in Madrid, since
the death of Canovas. Replying to my
question whether Spain, under any cir
cumStanceS, would grant independence
to Cuba, he said:
No Spanish ministry can grant the
independence of Cuba and live there
after. You ask me if Spain will give
independence to the island and I an
swer that she may have to do so after
a war, but she will never do it until
then. No, it would not be possible for
Silvela, leader of the Conservative par
ty, to form a, new cabinet on the basis
OF Cuban independence. The present
Liberal ministry have a leading major
ity in the approaching session of the
Cortes, and can say that my. col
leagues and myself are absolutely un-
animous on the Cuban question
There you have the situation clear
and simple. 1t is the reply of the most
authoritative man in the government
or nation. All attempts to blind con-
gress to the fact that Spain has prac-
tically cast McKinley's suggestion back
into his face with scorn are useless.
Every day Spain sees herself grow
weaker in the presence of American de-
termination to do justice to Cuba. All
Europe has abandoned her, and the
pope has plainly set his face against
the continuance of an unholy war
What Moret has said today is true.
Cuban independence can never be until
the Spanish flag goes down in defeat
before the guns of an American fleet
All attempts to deal any further with
Cuban independence by diplomacy are
mere foolery and waste of time.
There is but one loophole for Spain to
agree to our terms and save the throne
thereby, and that is for the powers to
force Spain to give up Cuba for the
sake of peace, guaranteeing the safety
of Alfonso XIII. and the queen regent.

FEELING AT MADRID.
Gen. Woodford Does Not Know When
He Must Leave.

Madrid, April S.-A much calmer feel
ing prevails here today, rejecting the
newspaper utterances and various pub
lished versions of the cabinet meeting
of last evening.
The statement from London to the
effect that United States Minister Gen
eral Woodford is to leave Madrid on
Saturday next is untrue Gen. Wood
ford today reiterated his statement that
he would not leave until directed to ap-
ply for his pass ports, or until they were
handed to him.
The minister said he had intimation
of his government fixing a date for his
leaving Madrid and it may be taken as a
fact that no date would be fixed upon un-
til after President McKinley's message
