The attack on the Civil Service system
as it now exists VIII be resumed in the
House this week, in all probability. The
Civil Service paragraph of the Legislative
Executive and Judicial appropriation bill
was passed over when it was first reached
in the consideration of the measure, with
the understanding that it should be lber-
ally debated later. The opponents OF the
law purpose that the debate shall cover the
whole question.
Gen. Grosvenor, it is understood, has
prepared an elaborate speech in opposition
to the law, which he will deliver on his re-
turn from Ohio, which may not be until
next week.

The subject OF Hawaiian annexation, it
is expected will soon be brought to the at
tention OF the Senate. The present pur-
pose of the treaty advocates, it is said, is
to take up the matter in Executive session,
on ratification resolution, and debate it
long enough to determine their strength
and commit those who profess to be with
them. If they find the necessary strength
they will press on to the end, but other
wise will probably take up Senator Nor
gan's resolution.

Brief Conference at the state Depart

ident-Speech at Night.

WASHINGTON, April 12.--Consul General
Lee was before the Senate committee on
: foreign relations for an hour late to-day.
He talked freely with the committee in re-
gard to the conditidas in Cuba. and espe-
cially with reference to the destruction of
the Maine. lie said that in his opinion there
was no room to doubt that the destruction
of the vessel was due TO Spanish agencies.
do you mean the Spanish authorities in
Cuba?' he was asked by a mefnbe- of the
committee.
'T mean the Spanish officials" he replied,
''but not General Blaneo. 1 think some OF
the officials were cognizant of the plans to
destroy the vessel. but don't believe that
the captain general was"
General Lee said he had no knowledge of
the reports that mine had been discovered
by diver under the Montgomery while that
vessel lay in the harbor at Havana. The
consul general did not arrive at the Capitol
until clock. He came in street car,
and was not recognized by the one or two
hundred people who had congregated on the
outside of the building to see him, but in
the corridors at the entrance to the room
of the committee on foreign relations he
was recognized and given a hearty hand
clapping. He responded with u bow and
smile, and fastened into the committee
room.

NIGHT DEMONSTRATION.
General Lee Forced to Speak to an
Enormous Crowd,

WASHINGTON. April 12..-At night the
city turned cut in thousands when a sere-
made was given General Lee at his hotel
and stood for hours in the street waiting a
GLIMPSE of him. The demonstration was al
most quick and unprecedented as that
which had greeted General Lee at the depot
and State Department The United States
Marine Band had been secured from the
barracks and the Seventy-first Regiment
Band, under leadership of Prof Fanciulli,
formerly conductor of the Marine Band
came over from New York on an afternoon
train. The crowd assembled without call
ing and by 8 O'Clock was five thousand
strong in the streets about the Shoreham
Hotel. where General Lee was quartered.
Before the close it twice that size. 1t
was after before he appeared on one of
the small corner balconies, accompanied by
a committee of the Union Veteran Legion
and the Confederate Veterans Association,
which was jointly in charge of the affair.
The bands struck up the ''Star-spangled
Banner" and there was burst of fireworks
from the neighboring houses, while mounds
of red, white and blue lights famed at in
tervals along the streets, throwing the
crowd on the balcony into sharp relief
against background of flags. The
crowd yelled itself hoarse, calling for Gen.
Lee by name and demanding speech. The
speech was brief and so much broken hv
applause that the crowd caught probably
little more than it's general drift. General
Lee said:
After all the speeches 1 have been
fciced to make in the past two DAYS 1 can
hardly hope TO make myself heard over this
great gathering. l can only assure you that
such a great demonstration seems to me
cut of all proportion to the simple fact of
my humble presence here. and l am frank
to say do not see that deserve it, having
only tried to do my duty as an American
where circumstances placed me-"
The crowd broke out afresh and there
were yells That's it." That's what you
did"
General Lee continued: II have to thank
you most heartily for this splendid indorse-
ment of my course IT is a thing that can
hardly come TO man more than once I'm a

when the carriage drew up at the south
front of the building a big crowd was as
sembled on the portico. A rousing cheer
went up as General Lee stepped from the
vehicle and. bowling right and left, hur-

about ten minutes. There were at least

1NTERFERENcE RESENTED.
Comments of Ell Liberal and Other
Paners on MckinleY's Plan.

MADRID, April 12.-Complete tranquility
prevailed this morning at the Spanish capi-
tai There were patriotic demonstrations
yesterday evening at Barcelona and Valen-
cia, accompanied by shouts of Long live
SPAIN" Long live the army Long live
Cuba etc. but there were no disturb
ances.
The Liberal this morning publishes what
appears to be nearly complete transla-
ton of President McKinley's message to
Congress on the Cuban question. printing
it's salient points in large type. Comment.
ing OH the message the Liberal says Al!
though the dispatches are extensive, they
do not suffice for the formation of definite
conclusions. The mistranslation of a word
or a phrase would produce complete mis-
understanding and absolute dependence on
the accuracy of the first transmission in
so serious an affair would be a grave in
discretion. Nevertheless, it may be said
that, in a general sense, it aftirms and de-
clares in the name of the nation the right
of interference in Cuba. Whether q definite
or indefinite period is meant and whether
it is a simple intimation or a fixed de-
eision regarding coming events, Spain must
protest energetically against the principle,
prior to protesting vio!ently against the ac-
ton. NO Tree p6OIie can hesitate. " lSJctAi
by all the means in it's power. Il doctrine
annuling its personality and reducing it TO
ignominious tutelage Consenting TO submit
to it would be equivalent TO Spain's resigna-
ton of her place among European nations.
America clearly indicates her intention,
hitherto veiled with hypocritical ambigui-
ties. America considers Spain incapable of
maintaining her sovereignty in Cuba. We
have put up with everything, but unless we
ignore our history and consider the penin-
sula on level with Paraguay, isolated
from the rest of the world, we cannot and
will not submit to this"
In conclusion the Liberal says: ITO avoid
it and TO restore the self-respect due to our
selves which is more important than the
possession of Cuba. it becomes necessary
to unite in one all Spanish arms and hearts.
Let Madrid. let the whole of Spain, recall
what we have been. and what we have been
and what we cannot cease TO be while ply
sical and moral laws forbid the suicide of
nations"
The impartial heads its leading article
"A Short Truce-the Squadron to Cuba,'
and says: There exists to-day complete
divorce between the government and the
governed. This Judgment is formed
not on the public demonstrations but on
the general disgust and sadness prevailing.
