HURTING CARTRIDGES ALONG
The Winchester Company Begins
 Night Work on Its Orders.

New Haven, Conn.,, March 29.-The cartridge department of the Winches- ter Repeating Arms company began to work all night at o'clock this evening on orders for the government. Only seventy-five hands are employed now at night, but later more will most likely be employed. The officers of the company say they do not know how long 1t will be necessary to run the cartridge works night and day, but it Is believed that the shop will be kept going continuously til sun rise for several months.
 The Winchester officials had not re- ceived notification from the govern ment tonight that the company had secured the contract to make 1,0O0,- 900 smokeless powder rife ball cart ridges. The contract was awarded yesterday. Everything is prepared at the factory to begin work on the new order, which is small considering the facilities of the company. It is esti- mated that the daily output of the Winchester cartridge shop is 100000 shells of all kinds.
 Work on the government order for Lee rifles is being pushed, and hun dreds of these firearms are turned out daily.

He was fully six feet and three inches in height, his shoulders were broad and his weight no. pound Rss than 245 pounds. His set and stern features indicated spirit of courage worthy of knighthood under a Occur d'Leon. Standing firmly on both feet near the corner of Washing ton and Center streets Monday even ing at about 5:3O of the clock, he scanned the contents of the evening paper, reading aloud to himself the message of President Mckinley trans hitting the report of the board of fn- quiry in the matter of the Mafna Some few persons were attracted to- wards him and these were rapidly aug mented until about fifteen of an au- d1ence surrounded him and in ex- cited silence listened as the following sharp sentences rolled with deep and vicious tone from his snapping lips: Report forwarded to her majesty, the queen regent of Spain! She to dictate the course of action! Friendly rela- tions! Have I lived to witness this humiliation of my country? Rowing down to wOman-a female in petti- coats! Requesting her to dictate! At last, at last the day has come when man born of woman, with but a short time to stay, has actually asked a woman-mind you, gentlemen, a fe- male woman-what shall he do under a given set of facts! I might have been persuaded to swallow the indignation arising from a request of this nature if made to Sagasta, to Blanco or even to Weyler, but, blood of my noble and fighting ancestry, made to a woman!

THE BRIDLED HOUSE.
Meets in the Lobbies to Talk About
 War

Washington, March 29.-The house today quietly proceeded with the or der of the day, the consideration of private bills. No opportunity was af- forded under the rules of debating the all absorbing topic, but members stood about the cloak rooms and lob bies all day long discussing the situa- tion, and the most intense feeling was manifested. There is a strong senti- ment in the house and in the senate against the proposition to vote money for supplies to relieve the starving Gu bans unless it be accompanied by action that will stop the war. Popu- lists and silver republicans held a con- ference today and it resulted in reso- lutions presented by Senator Allen in the senate, and Representative Bell in the house, declaring Cuban indepen- dence
 The members of the house who are in favor of immediate and aggressive action are discussing all sorts of meth ods by which the house can be brought to an expression of opinion. This morning there was even some talk of overruling the chair during the con- sideration of the naval appropriation bill and attaching a resolution recog-

nizing the independence of Cuba as

nizing the independence of Cuba as rider.
 A very determined movement is on foot among the members of the house in which prominent men of both par ties are cooperating to bring the proposition for intervention in Cuba to a vote if necessary by arbitrarily overruling the chair. The situation is being thoroughly canvassed, partic- ularly on the republican side of the house, as the democratic leaders have given assurance of their cooperation as soon as the republicans, who are engineering the scheme, are ready.
 Representative Marsh of Illinois, chairman of the house committee on militia, today introduced a joint res olution declaring war between the governments of Spain and it's depen- dencies and the United States and her territories.
 Representative Mercer of Nebraska introduced in the house a Cuban reso- lution similar to that introduced by Senator Foraker of Ohio.

1000 RIFLES A DAY.
Capacity of the Remington Arms Fac
 tory in the Event of War.


 Ilion, N Y, March 29.-Two govern ment inspectors, one from the war de partment and the other from the navy department, are here to inspect the government work in progress at the Remington Arms company's factory and to ascertain the capacity of the factory to turn out rifles for volunteers in the event of war. An order was re- ceived last week from Washington for 10000 knife bayonets for the marines. Work on the order is progressing rap idly, and the boyanets will be ready for shipment within few days.
 ''On a rush order, said Superinten- dent Hartley, i've can turn out 1000 guns day, working two gangs of 5o0 men each ten hours. We have done that before, and are prepared to do it again. In 1888 we made 1S4,000 Lee Rifles of .43 caliber for Spain, and l am told that these are still in use. al though the principal equipment of the Spanish army is the Mauser 276."

MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.

Washington, March 29.-By direc- tion of General Miles, commanding the army, orders were issued today for the transfer of the Twenty-fifth reSi- ment of infantry to the Dry Tortugas The fact that this regiment is maI e up of colored troops IS regarded as quite significant in showing the pur- trate the colored troops in the vicinity of Cuba, inasmuch as it is recognized that the negro is better able to with stand the Cuban climate.

A SANTA FEE HOLD-UP.
An Exciting Battle Near Grant Sta
 tion Yesterday.

The westbound Santa Fe Pacific was held up at o'clock yesterday morning near Grant station, N. M. It was a profitless affair for the bandits. A passenger on the train arrived iR Phoenix last night. He said that soon after leaving Grant station the train was brought to stop and a terrific fusilade was opened. Most of the shots were fired along the train to iR- timidate the passengers and prevent interference. A special attempt seems to have been made to scare the ex- press messengers. for their car was found to be riddled with bullets. The attack was evidently not unexpec AE for there were three shotgun n'.essen- gers aboard.

QUIET AT HAVANA.
No Disturbance Yet and None Is
 Feared.

Washington, March 29. - Uncon- f1rmed reports of rioting at Havana were current here today, but it was denied at the department of state that any information of that kind had been received. There was a wild rumor that Consul-General Lee had applied for assistance and in the event that it was not immediately afforded he would sail for the United States. This was said at the department to be too silly to be accorded denial. There is no rioting in Havana and none is apprehended.
 It is said, however, that Captain General Blanco has sent a communi- cation to Washington in which he says he believes a demonstration may be precipitated at any moment by an el- ement made up of certain Americans of strong anti-Spanish tendencies, now in Havana. General Blanco states that he does not fear any disturbance coming from the Cuban people.

Washington, March 29.-Congress and the cabinet divided attention to- day on the Spanish situation. In con- gross the feeling which began to take form after the presidents conservative and pacific message on the Maine re- port was submitted yesterday found open expression today in resolutions proposing a declaration of war, a rec ognition of the independence of Cuba, armed intervention and other decisive and warlike steps against Spain, and in conferences of republicans having for their object the oyerruling of the speaker if necessary to get prompt action. Both on the floor, in the cloak rooms, in the Hobbies and corridors there was little else discussed but the Cuban situation and the Maine dis aster
 Every senator and member was fur nished with a copy of the testimony sent to congress yesterday. Constant and continual conferences were held and all recognized the seriousness of the situation. On the house side it was apparent that the republican ma jority could not be longer controlled by what is known as the conservative element led by the speaker.
 Much depends upon the next few days. That congress will not long re- main inactive if some decided action is not taken by the administration, is certain. It is also true that the talk of an armistice caused a great deal of i'll feeling.
 The day closed with a prospect that the committees to whom were referred the Maine correspondence will act soon, possibly before the end of the week. The cabinet meeting today de- veloped nothing new. The president remains steadfast in his convictions as to what is his duty and the adverse criticism which it is asserted is mainly due to transformation as to the situa- tion or ignorance of the presidents s purpose will not be permitted to swerve him in the least degree from the course he has planned.

 Spain's final reply to this demand, il is known, is now receiving the earnest consideration of the Spanish authori- ties at Madrid, and that their final re- ply may be reasonably expected within the next few days. Should these de.

A RISING IN THE SENATE.
Beginning of a Movement Against the
 Peace Policy.

Washington, March 29.-The interest in the Cuban situation-the interest might almost be termed excitement, so intense was it-reached its climax in the proceedings of the senate today. As on the previous days of the dis cussion of Cuban questions, thousands of people flocked to the capitol, only few of whom, comparatively, could gain admission to the galleries.
 Within five minutes after the senate convened, MT. Allen of Nebraska intro duced a resolution recognizing the in- dependence of the Cuban republic. This was followed by resolution pro- posed by MT. Rawlins of Utah, de- claring war against the kingdom of Spain. MT. Foraker of Ohio then in- troduced a resolution declaring for such intervention in the Cuban war as would bring about the independence of the islands. Following this came a resolution by MT. Frye of Maine de- handing that Cuba be made free. Resolutions followed one another so rapidly as to almost stun the auditors. Both the senators and the spectators in the galleries were In a commotion. and the people were prepared for any thing.
 This was the condition when the vice-president recognized MT Mason of Illinois for his announced speech on the presidents message transmitting to congress the findings of the Maine court of inquiry. MT. Mason read his speech from the manuscript, but it was delivered with all the vigor and fire of which he is capable. The in tensity of feeling of those in the gal 1eries was evidenced by the storm of applause which was elicited by his declaration that he was for war Vice President Hobart had great difficulty in suppressing the demonstration.
 After Mr. Mason's speech the senate passed seventy-four private pension bills and followed this order with eulo- gies on the late Senator Earle of South Carolina

 The army and navy departments continue to show many evidences of ac- tivity, but there is not the extreme energy of preparation evident last week. The navy department made no further purchases of foreign ships to- day, although naval attaches abroad continue to make inspections of ships at several large yards.

THE PRESIDENT IS WEARY.
A Probability That He Will Shift the
 Load Upon Congress.

Chicago, March 29.-A Washington special to the News says: There is only one chance in hundred that war will be avoided" Such was the re- mark this afternoon of one of the most prominent members of the cabi- net, who has been conspicuous as a peace-maker.
 The private secretary to the presi- dent, J. Addison Porter, said this af- ternoon that the president has deter mined to settle the issue this week and his message is looked for tomor- row. "The president" said Mir Por- ter, 'is tired of the criticism of con- gross. He will ask congress to do one of two things, either take the question and settle it in it's own way, or leave the executive free and un- trammeled. The president feels he can- not be blamed and criticized. Con- gress planes him for not acting, and indulges in war talk when he is doing his best to avoid war The talk in congress interferes with the regotia- tions looking to peace"
 There is scarcely a doubt that con- gress, in it's present temper, will de clare war. It is expected that tomor- row will see the president unload upon congress the entire situation, and with out making any recommendation, leave the legislative branch of the govern ment to work out the problem in its own way.

NOT PEACE TALK.
Significant Utterance by Semi Official
 Spanish Paper.

[ Madrid, March 29.-The semi official Ell Liberal says: "The report on the Maine contains no grave statement, therefore President will not use that pretext for declaring war, but will use the question of the relief of the Gu bans. We believe the Spanish govern ment will never tolerate foreign na- tion in the guise of philanthropy, in vading our territory, for it would be followed by the unanimous protest of the Spanish people,
 The same paper then counsels Spain vention-to do no compromising and accept nothing affecting the dignity or sovereignty of Spaip.

food, raiment and medicine for their immediate relief from starvation, the sum of $500,O0O or so much thereof as may be necessary, is hereby appro- priated."
 Senator Foraker's resolution was as follows: Be it Resolved, By the sen- ate and the house of representatives of the United States of America, that the people of the island of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and inde- pendent; that the government of the United States hereby recognizes the republic of Cuba as the true and lawful government of that island; that the war Spain is waging against Cuba is so destructive of the commercial and property interests of the United human in it's character as to make it the duty of the United States to de- mand, and the government of the United States does hereby demand that she at once withdraw her land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters; that the president of the United States hereby is authorized, en- powered and directed to use if neces-, sary. the entire land and naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect"
 Senator Frye's resolution after re- citing the desolation and starvation in Cuba as a result of the "inhuman war fare" carried on by Spain, the inability of Spain to cope with the situation and the consequent damage to the commercial interests of the United States, concludes as follows:
 Resolved, By the senate and house of representative of the United States of America in congress assembled, that the president of the United States be and he is hereby directed and empow cred to take such effective steps as in his discretion may be necessary to se- cure the speedy termination of hostili- ties between the government of Spain and the people of Cuba, and for the withdrawal of the military and naval forces of Spain from the said islands and to complete the independence of the said people,"
 The resolution of Senator Rawlins refers to the impossibility of revival of commerce between Cuba and the United States so long as the present war may continue. It refers to the destruction of the Maine and the kill ing of United States marines who were ''by the explosion of submarine mine wilfully, wickedly and treacher- ously mangled and destroyed" and asserts that as the kingdom of Spain has proven herself incompetent to tranquilize the island of Cuba either by methods of peace or by means of civilized warfare, be it
 Resolved, By the senate and the house of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem- bled, that the independence of the re- public of Cuba be, and is hereby rec ognized, and that war against the king dom of Spain be, and the same is hereby declared, and the president is hereby authorized and directed to en- ploy the land and naval forces of the United States of America to wage such a war to success"
