the cornplefe indepeudence of Cuba. Many
OF the radicals favor armed Intervention,
and few, like Representative Marsh OF
Illinois, believe the blowing up OF the
Maine Is a casus belli.
The speeches at to-nights meeting
while vigorous, and yielding notnins'
were, nevertheless, In favor or giving tne
President an opportunity 10 mature his
policy, and of completing the negotiations
In which he is now engaged. Many oi
the leaders of the movement, inciuding
Mr.. Hopkins, of Illinois: Mr.. HUI, OF
Iowa; Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota MT.
Bromwell, of Ohio; Mr.. Hepburn, OF
Iowa, and Mr. w. A. Smith, or Micfil-
gan. saw the President to-day, and all ne
asked was brief delay. Action by Con-
gress before the pending negotiations are
completed, he told them, would embarrass
him, and might result in complete rup-
ture. Mr.. Hull, Mr.. Bromweli, and others
explained this situation to the confer
ence. They counselled acquiescence IN
the Presidents desires. rupture with
the administration was greatly to be de-
plored and should. they argued, only oc-
cur as last resort
THE PRESIDENTS PLANS.
They informed the conference that the
President had said that the negotiations
now ia progress would either fail or be
successful by the end of the week. He
believed they would be successful He did
not indicate their nature, they said, and
they pointed out that 1t would be mani
festly ruinous for the details to be made
public at this time. They said, further,
that the President informed them that
he would, I'm the event of the failure OF
the negotiations, place the whole sub
ject before Congress and share with 1t
the responsibility for what might follow.
Mr.. Adams. of Pennsylvania, the rank
ing member of the Foreign Affairs Com
mttee Of the House, in the absence OF
Mr.. Hit, who is III, explained that the
sentiment of the committee was strongly
against further delay. although he was
himself a conservative; but he said the
committee was willing TO defer to the
wishes of the President, and no action
would be taken at the meeting to-mOr-
row. On Monday. however. IL a satis-
factory solution has not previously been
reached, action would be taken.
All the members present professed igno-
rance of the details of the Presidents
plans and negotiations, although several
said that the President assured them that
IL successful he thought they would be
considered satisfactory.
ANOTHER MEETING TONIGHT.
The conference decided at last to ap-
point a committee OF eleven TO wait upon
the President tomorrow and explain
their views of the situation, the commit
tee to report at a meeting to be held to-
morrow night The committee appointed

from Foreign secretaryship.

LONDON March 30.-Sir Charles Dixie
gave notice in the House of Commons to-
day of a motion to the effect that the
conduct of foreign affairs during the past
twelve months has shown that IL is not
to the interest OF the country to have
the premiership and the foreign secretary
ship combined in one person, and asked
the government to fix a day to debate the
motion.
Mr.. Balfour, the government leader In
the House, First Lord OF the Treasury,
and acting Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs. replied that the government could
nor do so. as the discussion would resolve
itself into a direct attack upon the con-
duct of foreign affairs and, he explained,

til President Hears from Spain.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. March 9O-The
Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
held two sessions to-day, and adjourned
reaching an agreement.
Commander Bradford. of the Bureau Of
Equipment was before the committee for
several hours, giving expert testimony as
10 the relative 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.
Another development I'm the committee
was an agreement to postpone the COM
pletion Of the committees work on the
Cuban situation for a few days, to afford
the President an opportunity TO complete
his diplomatic negotiations with the
Spanish authorities. This concession was
the result of a request made directly to
the members of the committee by the
President. and it was granted by the en-
tire committee, without dissent.
NO ARMISTICE.
Previous 10 this action on the part of
the committee, the President had been

stood TO have been met by the President

MADRID OUTWARDLY CALM.
Actual Position of Affairs, However,
Regarded as Critical.

MADRID, March SO.-Whi.e the situa-
ton here is outwardly calm, the actual
position of affairs is regarded as critical
by both the United States Legation and
the Spanish Government.
The United States Minister, General
Stewart L. Woodford, is working energet-
ically, and will continue to work for the
maintenance of peace until the first gun
is fired 1t is known that the Spanish
Government admits the desirability Or
necessity Of complying with the demands
Of the United States, and IT is only in
the disinclnatiOn of the ministers to put
this willingness into concrete form that
the danger lies. If a conference was 10
be held with British, German, or French
diplomats the matter would be settled
without question.
The point which General Woodford Is
now pressing is that in the interest of
humanity hostiities in Cuba must cease
Immediately. No date was fixed, either
I'm the first or in the present note, but
the United States is now dwelling upon
the meaning of the word Immediately,
and insisting that Spain accept its general
Interpretation.
The public in general is taking little
apparent interest in the subject, but there
is a disclination to believe that war is
likely.
PURCHASE OF WARSHIPS.
La Pals says that four warships have
been purchased from France, and that
negotiations are pending for the purchase
of several torpedo-boats from Great Bri-
tain.
La Pals says orders have been issued
10 mobilize all the torpedO-boats and
smaller ships at Cadiz. where second
torpedo fiotilla is being prepared; that
military engineers are starting for the
Canary Islands. and that the Balearic
Islands are being fortified.
n Is said by La Pals that Italy has
decided TO sell the cruiser Giuseppe
Garibaldi, a sister ship Of the Vares's,
TO Spain.
Two regiments, still according TO La
Pals. are going TO the Canary Islands
TO strengthen the Spanish garrison there.
SALE OF CUBA.
The Armstrong; Spanish agent,
Spaniard who is In touch with the gov
ernment and commercial people I'm Spain,
has expressed the belleI that uhiess tle
powers intercede there will be war lie
added:
"If the United States offers money for
our clearing out of Cuba, we could not
accept: but II the proposition emanateo
frop another Power. IL is not unlikely
that il would be accepted.
This view of the case is echoed by
nortion of the Spanish press. which ad-
yises Spain TO wash her hands OF cuba.
senor ortiz de Zarato, prominent FOR
ner Carlist deputy. who has Just been
defeated at Vittoria. expressed the opin-
ion that there would be no war saying

done within three months. You will need
it before the three months are over, Mr.
Chairman. That there will be war be-
tween this country and Spain is indicated
by every pulsation of the popular heart
to-day
REPEAL OF WEYLER ORDER.
"Mr. Chairman, shall not vote for any
100000 appropriation to feed the recon
centrados of Cuba until this government
explicitly says to Spain and Sagasta,
Repeal your Weyler order, which Is
starving these people (Applause.)
when this is done. feed the reconcen-
trados, If you please. First, give them
homes. give them ploughs, give them
oxen, and in Gods name, send them back
TO the blackened ashes of their homes,
and give them the opportunity to raise
provisions for themselves" (Applause)
Mr.. Boutele objected to an extension
of MIR. Cummings's time beyond the five
minute limit, and was hissed by the gal
leries.
Without reaching the provision relating
TO the increase of the navy, the commit
tee rose, and at 500 o'clock the House ad-
iourned.
senate Proceedings.
Permission was granted by the Senate
to-day for the Foreign Relations Com
mittee to sit during the sessions of the
Senate. Following this action. the reso-
luton providing for the recognition of the
independence of Cuba, introduced yester-
day by Mr.. Allen. Of Nebraska. was, at
the request of Mr.. Frye of Maine, re-
ferred to the Foreign Relations Commit
tee, without debate.
Mr.. Frye of Maine, reported from the
Committee on Foreign Relations, the fol-
lowing Senate resolution:
THAT the President be requested If not
incompatible with the public interest, TO
transmit to the Senate all Of the consular
correspondence relating to the conduct
Of the war in the Island OF Cuba, the
condition of the people there, and other
matters relating thereto"
Mr.. Frye asked that the resolution lie
on the table until tomorrow, when he
would ask for its consideration.
At this point, the floor was yielded to
AIR. Wolcott, Of Colorado. chairman of
the Committee on Post-Offices and POST
Roads, who made a remarkable and
caustic arraignment of the Secretary Of
the Treasury, on account of the Secre-
tary's hippant treatment Of a request
made by Mr.. Wolcotts committee for his
opinion upon a postal savings bank sys-
TEN.
After waiting for an unusual time, the
committee, Mr.. Wolcott said, had re-
ceived the Secretary's reply. Il have to

reply was of such nature that l have
been unanimously instructed BY the com
mlttee to respectfully return it. l will
