viewed the half century of Spanish mis-
rule in Cuba, which kept the United
States in a foment politically and fnan-

barbarities of the present war on the

resul Of this action. and adds:
"Therehas been no distinction OF sex or
age in this protracted and torturing mas
sacre. The children of this generation
have been starved to death and the immo-
lation Of w6manhood has destroyed the
possibility Of posterity."
The opinion is expressed that It was the
intention OF the coutrlver of this policy
to depopulate the island and re-people il
with Spaniards. 1t IS also asserted that
the Spanish government has violated the
laws of civilized warfare IN the slaughter
of prisoners and the massacre of sick and
wounded.
The committee discusses at some length
the two propositions for the recognition
OF the independence of the Cubans. and
Of intervention. They say that because
of the attitude OF the United states this
government has placed itself in concur

beginning of war and that we have ia
spirit Of forbearance submitted TO many
atrocities perpetrated by Spain upon.our

The Heraldo then enumerates the "suc-
cessive insults to Spain alleged to be
contained in the presidents message, re-
marking that Premier Sagasta acted
wisely yesterday in discOunting the
bourse's optimism. Political circles ask.
What will the government do? The mo-

SPANISH CABINETS PROGRAM
Madrid, April u, via Paris, April 10
A member Of the Spanish cabinet this
CTuesday) evening, declared that the at
titude of Spain will consist in waiting
for the United States 'to establish ac-
ton on the doctrines expressed in the
message" adding: I'm regard 10 the re-
cent. manifestation, the government has
confined itself to re-establishing order.
The courts will decide whether the Cry of
Viva Espana' ispunishable".
Continuing, the minister criticized those
"who are trying to precipitate the decis-
ions Of the government" He then said:
Certain acts Of the government are con-
sidered by its critics to he acts of feeble
ness, but they are in reality acts of pro-
found patriotism, high prudence and fore
sight"
In conclusion, the minister announced
that the cabinet council had decided not
to advance the date of the converting of
the cortes.

posed had to be dispensed with. =

A FALSE ALARM.
A Rumor That the smelters Have Closed
Down Is Unfounded.

Yesterday il became noised around
that the smelters, both the upper and
lower works departments, were to be
closed down to-day for a month or
more. The rumor, like all rumors, could
not be traced to its origin, but IL prob
ably started from the fact that the
upper works are closed down for a
short time. The report spread rapidly
about the city, and created quite a bit
of excitement.
The rumor is without foundation.
however, the only part of the works
that are to be closed down are the up
per works, and the shut down there will
be of slight duration. II. ii. Nell. as
sistant superintendent of the works,
was seen last evening. He stated that
the shutdown at the upper works would
be only temporary, and that the plant
will probably be running again inside
of a week. The shutdown at the upper
works. said Mr.. Nell. is occasioned by
the fact that the big engine which
drives the machinery at that depart
ment is badly in need of repairs, and
that it is simply a question of whether
the engine shall be repaired or a new
one put in. The engine has been in
constant use for IL years, and is badly
worn in places.
During the time necessary for the re-
pairs to the engine, several other parts
of the plant will also be repaired and
improved, but the time that will be re-
uuired to do the work is not expected
to be greater than a week or 10 days,
The big stacks at the lower works are
spouting out smoke as fast as ever, and
the shutdown at the upper works will
not affect the department at Carroll.
