and Military Honors.

Pittsburg, March 30-The cities of
Pittsburg and Allegheny united today in
loyal and patriotic spirit and paid
high civic and military honors to the
remains OF Lieut. F. W. Jenkins, who
perished on the United States battleship
Maine. --~~~,v
From the time of the arrival Of the
body in Pittsburg, at 6 65 o'clock this
morning, until the volley of musketry
over the grave, in Uniondale cemetery
Allegheny, the manifestations Of mourn
ing and patriotism were marked in the
two cities.
The funeral program was made to
occupy most of the day in it's execution,
and the weather was most favorable
First the body was taken to Allegheny
and placed in state at 9 o'clock, in the
post office corridor. A squad Of divi-
sion c, Pennsylvania naval reserves,
was the guard of honor. At IL o'clock,
escorted by the military guard and a
detachment of policemen, the body was
brought to the court house in this city,
where it again lay in state for two
hours. While the people filed by the
bier and the bells tolled, the national
guard organizations and the G. A. r.
posts assembled in the vicinity. The
cdSReI Was. pIdceu OH a Ca1SSOn at G.0U,
and the march to Allegheny was taken
| up.
The procession was headed by Gen.
Wiley and staff of the second brigade,
N. G. P. Then followed the 14th and 18th
regiments, N. G. division, Pennsyl-
vania naval. reserves, Battery B, Wash
ington Infantry, Hibernian Rifles, G. A.
r., and other patriotic organizations.
Through a great concourse of men,
women and children, the procession
marched to Christ Protestant Episcopal
Church, Allegheny. Here the Episcopal
service for the dead was performed and
a sermon was preached by the rector,
Rev. Robert Mech.
Then came the march to the cemetery,
the final service, the committing of the
body to the earth, the firing of the
salute, the closing Of the grave and the
placing at its head of the American flag.

SUPPORTS THE PRESIDENT
Committee on Foreign Relations Content
to Wait.

Washington, March 30.-The senate
committee on foreign relations held two
sessions today and adjourned few min
utes before o'clock without reaching
any agreement. Commander Bradford,
chief of the bureau of equipment, was
before the committee for several hours
giving expert testimony as to the rela-
tive strength of the navies of the United
States and Spain, and also advocating
the purchase of the island of st. Thomas
Of the Danish West Indies as a naval
station.
The committee, as a result of its ses-
sion, agreed to postpone the completion
of the committees work ON the Cuban
situation for few days, i'm order to af-
ford time to the president to continue
his diplomatic negotiations with the
Spanish authorities. This concession was
the result of a request made direct to
members of the committee by the presi-
dent, and it was granted by the commit
tee without any murmur of dissent
Previous to this action ON the part of
the committee, the president had been
very frankly informed that neither the
committee. mol. senate would be disposed
to acqufesce in any agreement for an
armistice. This opposition ds understood
to have been made clear ON behalf Of the
Joint republican and democratic steering
committees of the senate, and it is
understood to have been met by the
president with the response that this
Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-03-31

government would not press the matter
The president freely admitted to all
visiting senators that the negotiations
with Spain were approaching a crisis,
and said he felt quite confident a con-
clusion would be reached by Friday
night. at the latest. He asked that in
view of this fact no action be taken by
either house until after that time, or
until present negotiations could be
brought to close. The representations
were of character to satisfy the COM
mittee, and when it adjourned, one of its
members, who is among the most radi-
cal of Cuban sympathizers, stated that
the committee was operating in perfect
sympathy with the president. Its mem
bers feel that they will be free to act
when the president indicates failure
Of present negotiations with Spain. They
think these negotiations are for freedom
of Cuba, and if they do not so result,
they expect to report promptly a joint
resolution looking to that end.
The actual proceedings of the commit
tee today consisted Of a general ex-
change of views concerning the situa-
tion and the proper course to be pursued
by the committee, of the reference of the
various Cuban resolutions to a sub-com-
mittee, of the reading of a part of the
testimony of the Maine court of inquiry
and of an examination of Commander

HOLY CROSS BEATEN
Opening Ball Game With Yale
Results in Defeat.
McKenna's WlIdness Gave the Home
Team Five Runs in the Second
Inning.
(speeial Dispatch 10 the spy.l

New Haven, Conn, March SO,-The
base ball teams of Yale and Holy Cross
College opened their season of 1898 on
Yale field, this afternoon, and Yale won
the contest by a score of to 4, after
five innings Of play. 1t was principally
a pitchers battle, which McKenna
opened in the box for Holy Cross, and
he was very wild. He gave seven bases
on balls in two innings; but when he
did get them over, they came so swiftly
that the Yale batsmen could not see
them, and five of the six men put out
while he was in the box, went out on
strikes. Linnehan succeeded him in the
box and held the Yale men down well.
Feary opened in tile box for Yale, and
was effective for the first two innings,
but then he went up, and the Holy
Cross boys got couple of runs off
him. Cadwalader was rather a disap-
pointment, three Of the Holy Cross hits
being made off his delivery The first
ball he pitched was hit into left field
safely, and the second met a similar
fate, and things were beginning to look
bad for the big fellow, when he stead
led down, but he was hit hard and Of
ten, sharp playing by the men behind
him saving him from a defeat. Yale
got only four hits in the five innings.
The following Is the score:
