Sicnrd's Advice Valuable.

Washington, April 19.-Probably with
the view of availing himself Of the large
experience of Rear Admiral Sicard, Sec.
rotary Long has revoked the sick leave
Of that officer and ordered him to duty
in his own office at the navy department.
Being thoroughly familiar with the YES
sells under Captain Sampson as well as
those under Commodore schley, the ad-
miral Is expected to be Of great as
sistance to the department in the ar.
rangements Of any plans Of campaign.
Technically he succeeds in the secre-
tary's office Captain Sigsbee, who has
been acting in a similar capacity since
aptain Barker's relief as professional
adviser to the secretary.

WAR NOTES.

Washington, April 19.-The tocsin OF
war has been sounded by the American
congress. At lis o'clock this morning
the senate received the report of the con-
ference committee of the two branches
of congress, and IL minutes afterWard
had adopted It. There was a tight To
the last minute, however the advocates
of recognition Of the independence OF
the island republic standing their ground
until they were fairly knocked down by
a vote of AZ to 35. The minority vote
was cast by those who wanted radical
action and insisted that the resolution
should carry with it the recognition OF
independence. Upon this a split de-
veloped which nearly proved fatal tc
any action at all.
The adoption of the conference repor,
brought to close one of the most inter
esting and tumultuous sessions of the
senate held in years. Such scenes OF
confusion and excitement have rarely
been witnessed in the ordinarily stald
and dignified body as characterized its
progress from noon until nearly O'CLOCK
this morning. Interest in all other ques'
lions was dwarfed into significance
by the one overwhelming question OF
war, which all now regard to be absolute.
ly inevitable. Efforts were made to
transact the regular business, but 1t was
with the utmost Indifference that the
senators performed the work. Among
those who remained upon the floor while
the sundry civil bill was under con-
sideration the confusion was so great
that business could scarcely proceed
Notwithstanding the vice presidents
constant effort to preserve order, the
members gathered in groups about the
chamber excitedly discussing the va
rious phases Of the question Of the hour
A feeling of bitterness grew up be-
tween the senate and the house during
the late afternoon and evening that at
one time seemed likely to delay action.
Cooler counsel prevailed, however, and
a determination of the question was
finally reached. Those who were fight
ing for the recognition of the republic
early decided that the senate should not
take the initiative in requiring a con-
ference. They further resolved that
when the senate conferees were finally
appointed at least two OF them should
represent the majority sentiment Of the
body. The radical advocates Of in
dependence slowly. but none the less
surely, lost ground, however, being swept
back by the powerful and compact mi
nority opposed to them. They yielded
only after one Of the btterest contests
in the history Of the senate.

This anecdote has nothing earthly to do
with Mr.. E. H. Allen, of II Pine Street, Rut-
land VT, engineer and fireman at the Howe
Scale Co.'S Works, but it serves to introduce
him to the reader, and at the same time
shows the close relation between the tinker's
work on the engine and average humanity's

Allen tells you how he cured his Read his

Washington, April 19.-President Nc
Kinley will not have to recognize the
so-called republic of Cuba before inter
vention, II, indeed, he ever has to do so.
The constitution of the Cuban govern
ment provides that when independence
is secured the present government shall
dissolve, and the one he will have ia
recognize after Intervention will be the
choice Of the people at that time.
His policy Of humanitarian interven-
ton he proposes to begin by sending two
shiploads of provisions under convoy OF
warships to Matanzas for the recon-
centrados. He will first give Spain due
notice to withdraw, and will allow her
as hours in which to reply.
Acting on this policy he will not be
embarrassed by scandals about Cuban
bonds, made valid by the recognition OF
the Cuban republic, or by such viola.
ton of international law as he pointed
out in his message and the consequent
protests Of foreign governments.

A general conference of the leaders
was held at the speakers desk after the
senate had voted to insist Mr.. Dalzell
and most of the speakers lieutenants
favored voting to further insist, but Mr..
Grosvenor counselled an adjournment.
He urged that If the house adjourned
the country would place the responsible
ity for the deadlock upon the senate.
Mr.. Adams, as soon as the report of
disagreement bad been read moved that
the house still further insist upon its
amendments and request a further con-
ference. This course was taken.
AS soon as the conference report had
been presented in the house, Mr.. Adams
moved its adoption, and upon that mo-
ton he demanded the previous question.
The galleries gave cheer after cheer as
the resolutions were read The demand
for the previous question cut off debate.
and Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. Johnson ap-
pealed for a few minutes time. Mr..
Adams refused to yield time for debate.
owing to the lateness of the hour. Mr..
Johnson protested indignantly. Mr..
Bailey demanded the ayes and nays,
and the roll was called. The previous
question was ordered, and then the re-
port was adopted by vote of $40 toe.

Washington, April 19.-All Of the wise
acres who told how the senate would ac-
quiesce eventually in the action of the
lower branch in giving expression to the
presidents views in a resolution relat-
Ing to Cuba find themselves without
honor today as the possessors of fore
sight. They ignored the fighting quail
ties of the senators when divided on lines
uninfiuenced by political considerations.
A hard fight was made to justify the
prediction, but as the representatives
could not get all that they wanted, they
accepted the tender Of a compromise.
The contest began shortly after IL,
when Mr.. Dingley secured the speakers
attention with motion to concur after
striking out the recognition clause, and
ended not far from 3 this morning owing
to long conferences and several recesses,
pending a settlement one way or the
other
The vote to recede from the position
in amending the senate resolutions by
striking out the recognition clause, and
also the declaration that the Cubans
ARE" independent, came so unexpected
ly that the leaders of the respective sides
sent messengers and officials scurrying
in all directions to drive in absentees.
Carriages were sent Gathering to the
downtown hotels at a gallop, and res
taurants and every likely place where
stray congressman might be were
hunted out by the pages and employees of
the house. The responses on the roll

OBJECTIONS from the Republican side, but
there were none. The announcement OF
the defeat of the motion-14S to 173-was
the signal for a demonstration on the
Republican side. Mr. Dingleys motion
to insist and ask for a conference was
then agreed to without division.
