The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-03-27

Senators, who have visited the President,
have, without exception so far as can be
learned, assured him that the Senate ap-
preciated his efforts to preserve peace un-
der proper conditions and have told him
that there is no danger of precipitate ac-
ton In that body. They got the impress
sion that if the worst comes, and it is ab-
solutely Determined that no other course
will avail, the President will be found
ready for armed intervention.
On the score of politics, he assures them
that he would rather see the Republicans
fail OF future success than to wage an
unjust war; but that if war must come it
must be a war from humanity, and that
this fact must be made so evident that he
will have the entire nation behind him in
a conflict.

PAINTING THE SHIPS BLACK.
Report That Spain Has Been Told to
stop War Excites Key West.

Report That Spain Has Been Told to
stop War Excites Key West.
Key West, Fla. March 26.--Intense ex-
citement was caused here by the Associat-
ed Press bulletin to the effect that the
United States government has notified
Spain that hostllities in Cuba must cease
The work of painting the warships black
was carried on this afternoon with re-
doubled energy
REAR Admiral Slcard was on the point OF
leaving Key West and knew nothing of
the action taken by the United States. A
torpedo boat was at once dispatched to
Capt Sampson aboard the Iowa, notifying
him of the latest development.
Capt. Chadwick of the New York is leav-
ing 70 take command of the Brooklyn and
Capt Simpsons flag will be transferred to
the New York.
The Indiana, Iowa, New York, Detroit,
Nashville, Marblehead and Montgomery
are being painted black
All the officers here regard war as being
imminent.
Rear Admiral slcard, with his wife and
daughter. left Key West this afternoon on
the steamer for Miami They are going to
Nassau and thence to Palm Beach. The
admiral expects to spend several weeks
resting at Florida winter resorts.
Capt. Sampson has taken formal charge
of the feet The usual ceremony In the
change of flags was omitted.
Later In the day an order to stop paint
ing the vessels of the squadron black was
issued. This was caused by query from
the navy department to Capt Sampson as
to whether he could suggest a better color.
He replied recommending gray or drab but
no answer has yet been received to this
suggestion The Nashville and New York
are the only ships which have been com
pletely re-painted.
The arrival OF three new warshIps added
fuel to the fire of excitement, and the
shores rang with cheers as the vessels
steamed into the harbor. Owing to dark :
ness 1t was impossible 10 make out their
exact Identity, but they are believed TO be
the cruiser Cincinnati and the gunboats
Wilmington and Castine. Additional precau-
tions were taken on all the ships tonight.
They have everything in readiness to pull
out at minutes notice. The
gun crews sleep by their guns.
The coast survey steamer Bache sailed
for Havana tonight, presumably to help
carry away the American officials, but
the steamer Olivette, which arrived to-
night, brought all the officers OF the Maine
except Lieutenant Commander VAIN
wright. With the exception Of Chaplain
Chadwick, they proceeded for Tampa on
their way North.
Capt Slgsbee, when shown the Asso-
ciated Press bulletin regarding the uti-
matum to Spain, said: This looks like
war"
The Olivette also brought nine bodies
recovered from the wreck of the Maine.
The body OF Lieut.. Jenkins was sent
through 10 Pittsburg. The eight others
will be buried here tomorrow.
Capt. Sigsbee thinks that more bodies
will be recovered from the wreck.

DENIES HARBoR WAS MINED.
One Paper Thinks a More Favorable
Turn to Events Possible.

Madrid. March 26.--A general in the
army who declines to permit the use of
his name said to-day that it was incredi-
bic that the report of the American court
of inquiry into the Maine disaster should
attribute the destruction of the vessel to
a submarine mine.
"Not even among savages," he asserted,
would such mines be placed In their
ports. Moreover, our own ships would
have incurred equal peril had the mines
been placed in Havana harbor. Mines
are only laid in time Of war and then
friendly nations are notified"
La Correspondence de Espana says it
understands that the government is occu-
pied with certain new factors in the situa-
ton, which it believes may give a more
favorable turn to events.
FL Correo says the government is calm
in the consciousness of having done its
duty and is satisfied The foreign press
has recognized this and also the firmness
with which Spain is resolved to defend
her national right and honor.
Ell Correo adds: "God knows If matters
are becoming worse, which is possible,
but the provocation is notorious and
scandalous and if onerous solutions are
proposed to us, the country, en- masse,
faithful to its traditions, will repel them"
The Epoca says that Spain is trying to
prevent considering 1t a calamity and has
freely made important concessions, such
,- at4f,,, =
the paper continues, has not lost for a
single moment, her calm moderation, but
she cannot consent to the perpetual in
tervention Of americans and the Ameri-
can government.
El Heraldo declares that without the
intervention of the United States the Gu
| ban insurrecton would have been reduced
to mere brigandage. 'Tf the revolt con-
tinues," says Ell Heraldo, at is because
| the rebels see in America the hope of an
il-starred morrow for Spain, and while
this hope exists, the insurrection will
maintain sufficient strength slowly to con-
sumo our blood and monies. War with
| the United States presents then the solu-
tion of the problem which we must ex-
anime with tranquil minds"
La Nacional says it waits calmly the
| approaching denouement.

FRANCE AS A MUTUAL FRIEND.
HANOTAUX DEFINES HIS GOVERN
MENTes ATTITUDE.

Would Like to See Peace Preserved
between the United states and
Spain, But viii Not Go to the EN-
tent of Intervcning-The Statement
Formal One in the Chamber of
Deputies.
Paris, March 26.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, NJ. Groussot, socialist,
made a sweeping criticism of the foreign
policy of the government.
M. Barn, speaking in support of M.
Groussot introduced the Cuban question
He said: France cannot remain indiffer-
ent to the Spanish-American conflict, and
the monstrous encroachment of the An
glo-Saxon race on the Latin race. 1t is
the duty of France to approach Spain and
the United States with words of concllia-
ton and peace"
M. Hanotaux, minister of foreign affairs,
replying to NJ Barn, said in regard to Gu
ba However necessary the defense OF
our own interests may be, it Is subordi-
nate to the Importance of the grave dit-
flculties which the Cuban question has
presented so long. The whole world Is
following with emotion and anxiety the
varying fortunes of the conflict pending
in Cuba, and the whole world earnestly
hopes for its speedy conclusion. The inter
ests affected or threatened and the courage
and perseverance displayed add daily some
element to the dramatic trend of events
in that island. The Chamber knows the
sympathy and esteem which the United
States inspire.
"On one hand we have ancient and faith
full relations, good neighborly feelings. af-
fnities of race and interests, and, hnaily
the respect with which the patriotism OF
a heroic nation naturally inspires us.
"on the other hand we have a powerful
republic. a sister of our own full OF ardor
and confident of her valor, who demands
that an immediate end be put TO evils in
which she herself has shared and which
have lasted a very long time. Such is the
position of the conflict wherein both in
terests and honor are involved. Our hrss
| duty is increasingly to express to the two
nations the desire of all that sanguin-
ary and formidable fight be avoided.
IF these two parties, with common ac-
cord. are endeavoring to find sure and
impartial friends to help them in the ami
cable arrangement of so grave question,
they win see that all well intentioned peo-
ple are lending themselves to the desire
and we will not be backward. But 1t
would be going beyond the reserve inn
posed upon us to go further than this 1
can here, at least. only renew the express
| sion of our ardent wishes for an equitable
solution of the matter. wherein right,
honor and liberty may be satisfied and
which will result in maintaining between
two nations equally dear to us, the great
benefit of peace" (Cheers)
A motion approving M. Hanotaux' s state
ments was adopted by a vote of 800 to Ill.

HAvANA,s TENSION NOT GREAT.
Outward Signs of "A Breach With the
United states slight.

Havana, via Key West, March %.-The
tension here is greater than 1t was a
week ago. while expectancy grows more
acute daily, now that the reports Of both
courts Of inquiry into the Maine disaster
are in the hands Of their respective gov
ernments.
OF outward signs here of an impending
breach there are few, if any. The volun-
teers and recruits are drilling harder,
especially in artillery work, while the
empIacement Of big guns In the suburb OF
Vidido goes on apace, with show Of
grisly cannon, quite formidable.
1t is noted, however, that naval officers
smile when passing the works. One said
recently: Zone OF our battleshlps now at
Tortugas carries more metal than the
whole pack of these fellows"
There are murmurlngs in the low cafes
and sometimes rather black looks for the
"Americanos" on the streets. but on the
whole II is much to be doubted whether
Cubans and spaniards visiting interior
cities of the United States, during the
present state Of feeling, would be treated
with as much general courtesy as is
shown here to all foreigners.
Naval men here are extremely earnest
In the wish that the United States should
early take steps to prevent the arrival Of
the Spanish torpedo feet Off the coast of
Cuba, and within a few hours sail OF the
fleet at Key West or the Tortugas. All

approve Of the desirability Of such preven-
ton.
However. the real attitude of everybody
Is that so long maintained-namely. a
waiting one. Many believe that diploma
cy or arbitration would avert war. even
now, and some think that Spain will say
in effect "Your decision Is that the ex-
plosion was external, and ours that II was
Internal. This Is a grave matter; we de-

Is discredlted at the foreign Office and at
