NOTE OF POWERS.

Washington, April S.-President Nc
Kinley gave audience yesterday to the
representatives Of the six powers of
Europe which are seeking to avert war
between Spain and the United States.
Minister Pauncefote was the spokes-
man. He expressed the hope that fur
ther negotiations would lead to an agree
ment which, while securing the mainte-
nance of peace, would afford all neces-
sary guarantees for the re-establish-
ment OF order in Cuba.
The president said i'm answer: THE
government of the United States ap-
preciates the humanitarian and dis
interested character OF the communi-
cation now made on behalf Of the powers
named. and for its part is confident
that equal appreciation will be shown
for it's own earnest and unselfish en-
deavors to fulfill duty to humanity by
ending a situation, the indefinite pro-
longation OF which has become unsuffer-
able"

ADVANTAGE OF DELAY.

Washington, April SIT is pointed out
at the navy department that an ad-
vantage will accrue to the United States
by a short postponement of radical ac-
ton, since ii will assure the safety OF
recently purchased warships, the de-
livery of ordnance material now afioat.
and the departure from what would
be neutral ports OF several other ves-
sells recently acquired for the navy.
The New Orleans and her convoy, the
San Francisco. are expected to reach
New York Saturday or Sunday next.
They are proceeding leisurely, and il
has been calculated that it would take
them about IA days to make the trip.
1t is understood that they carry valuable
cargoes, including ammunition and gen.
eral ordnance stores. Consequently
the naval officials will be relieved when
they arrive at their destination.
1t Is also expected that the cruiser.

tion in case OF a declaration Of war.

EXCITEMENT IN SPAIN.

Madrid, April s.-An extraordinary
cabinet council has been summoned to
meet Immediately. The session has cre-
ated most pessimistic impressions. The
ministers refuse TO furnish any explana-
tion. The excitement I'm Spain has
reached the boiling point, but no demon
Strations are recorded anywhere yet.
All the steamship firms OF Valencia have
offered all their vessels as privateers,
and number OF ship captains have
called upon the naval commander at
Barcelona asking for letters OF marque.
Similar requests have been requested
from abroad. especially from France.
The outcome OF the cabinet council
was that the ministers considered and
replied to message from Rome. one
member Informed the representatives
OF the press that the aspect OF affairs
was more pacific than Wednesday. No
official note was issued. and all the
ministers maintain absolute reserve,
declining 10 give any information.
The offers OF money from the provinces
towards the fund to increase the strength
of the navy are said to be encouraging
the government. IL is said that Biscay
alone has offered over 25. ZOO. 900 pesetas.

Mr.. Lentz dIsclaimed this. but the
irate friend Of the president gave him
no mercy. He was thoroughly aroused
and laid about him with a veritable
bludgeon. charging that the Democrats
were seeking political advantage and
paying his respects to John j. McCook
and others. Before he concluded he
expressed the opinion that war was as
certain as that we would live until next
week unless 1t was averted by Spain.
The debate on the army bill developed
more and more opposition. Mr.. Hull
tried to save the bill by agreeing to
strike out all it's provisions save the
three battalion formation feature. but

have given up hope OF q peaceful settle-
ment. A great deal OF consideration
is given by senators and representa-
tives TO the form of action. On this
point there Is a wide divergence OF opin-
Ion, but IL has assumed two distinct
propositions. One is the recognition OF
independence Of the island. coupled with
intervention; the other q declaration
that Cuba should be free. the desire on
the part OF those favoring the latter plan
being to avoid recognizing the insurg-
ents and their government or any gov
ernment untn after the United States
has control OF the island. The latter plGn
Is said to be that Of the president, and
efforts are being made TO have IL adopted
80 that there may be no division between
the executive and legislative branches
qf the government. Fear is expressed
that there may be q long debate In the
senate II some compromise is not agreed
upon before the committee on foreign
relations makes its report.
Conservative senators are devotinE
themselves especially to formulating a
resolution upon which a general agree
ment can be secured. All appear wal
ing to concede the necessity for inter-
sition to the recognition Of the Cubans.
Some who take this position have mani
tested willingness to yield the one
point OF expressing the opinion that the
people OF Cuba should be free, but they
have taken decided stand against the
recognition OF the government by the
insurgents, which Is, they contend, A
decidedly mythical and unsubstantial
institution so far as the people Of the
United States are informed. Their op-
position has settled upon the second OF
the declarations or Mr.. Foraker, that
the government Of the United States
hereby recognizes the republic of Cuba
as the true and lawful government Of
that island"
Most OF the conservatives announce
themselves willing to accept a sa COM
promise. that the people of the island
OF Cuba are. and of right ought to be,
free and independent" They claim that
TO recognize the present government
would be establishing a bad precedent,
and that II is far preferable TO declare
for the right OF freedom and leave to
the president the duty of recognizing
whatsoever government he shall see
proper after the Spaniards shall have
been driven from the island.
The advocates OF the recognition of
independence will oppose the change pro-
posed In the Foraker resolution, and
the plan to decide the question behind
closed doors. They claim to have a
majority Of at least ~ for recognition.

Havana, April S.--Referring TO the
