Course of Action Mapped Out by
the Cabinet.
Washington, April II. - The Posts
summary of the situation includes
the following statement:
Immediately the president is en-
powered to use the army and navy he
will issue an ultimatum to Spain. CIV
ing her twenty-four hours = possibly
forty eight - within which to answer
whether she will peaceably withdraw
her troops and flag from Cuba. Her
refusal to eyacuate the island-which
is. of course, eXpected-will be the
signal for action on the part of this
government, and that action will be
the vigorous use of both our naval and
land forces. The Post makes this
statement upon the highest possible
authority, and the course Of action in
Dictated having been decided upon at
the cabinet meeting. Should the reso-
lutions reach the president accompa-
MED by the amendment recognizing
the republic of Cuba, the president will
sign them, but in brief message to
congress he will hold that the consti-
tutional prerogative vested in the pres
ident to recognize other governments
cannot be taken away, and that the
amendment is therefore void ard ill.,

STILL HOPING Fol, PEACE.
The Pope Will Again Address the

The Pope Will Again Address the
Queen Regent and Senior Snsasta.
London, April II. - The Rome cor
respondent of the Daily News says:
Cardinal Rampolla, papal secretary of
state, speaking to the French ambas-
sador about the chances of war be-
tween Spain and the United States,
said: "We still hope. and there is still
a thread of hope" Although according
to the news received from the Vatican
it is considered certain that President
Mckinley will send IN ultimatum to
Spain they still hope and work there
to find some means to avoid eNtremi-
ties. either by inducing Spain to make
fresh concessionS-for which purpose
the pope has again personally adj
dressed the queen regent and Senior
Sagasta, or by finding basis of :,n
arbitration acceptable to both sides.
In the latter connection Queen Vic
tora is spoken of as the only European
sovereign whom the United States, it
is supposed. would allow to interfere
in their affairs. The suggestion has
been made by the Vatican to try to or
ganiZe a European naval demonstra-
tion against the United States, but the
project was ridiculed.

O'CLOCK saturday evening, anu IN the
confused colloquy among senators
there was made manifest for the first
time disposition to filibuster. Mr..
Caffery Of Louisiana, although dis
claiming any intention to delay action
unduly, objected to any agreement to
to fixing of the time to vote. The de-
bate then proceeded, but in q few min
utes Mr.. Wellington of Maryland en-
tered a motion to adjourn. This was
defeated by the decisive vote of 81 to
10. The emphatic manner in which
The Decision Was Reached
indicated a determination on the part
OF those senators who desired immelli-
ate action to endeav0r to force the SEN
ate to remain in continuous session
either until the question was finally
disposed of OF until an agreement hal
been reached for q vote to be taken
at some specific time In the future to
be measured by hours. At 8 o'clock
another effort was made to reach an
agreement to adjourn, but it, too, was
unavailing. The scene in the senate as
the war Of wards was being waged
was a memorable one. This will pass
into history as one Of the great days OF
the senate. Yhronged galleries looked
down upon the half-circular chamber

Present Helpless and MoneyIess
Condition.

Paris, Oct. 25.-The consideration by the
peace commissioners OF Puerto Rico and
the Ladrone islands has now been merged
with the Cuban question, and all the
points involved are being carried forward
by a simultaneous conclusion. When this
has been arrived at, the Philippine ques-
ton will be taken up. OF course. there is
a possibility of a disagreement. and the
Spaniards, If the American peace COM
missioners decide not to assume any por-
ton of the Cuban Indebtedness may an
nounce their unwillingness to proceed any
further with negotiations based upon the
protocol. Should the Spanish decide to
do this, it will be because they will wish
to excite the pity of their creditors and nf
other nations. The cortes may be then
asked to indorse their action. In fact,
the Spaniards may even prefer the re-
sumption of hostilities to acuuiescence In
the American refusal to share their tinan-
cal burden. The Americans, however.
have minated to the Spaniards the possi-
bility that Spain may at some future peri
Cd be able to deal with an Independent
government regarding the assumption OF
the provincial and municipal portions Of
the Cuban debt, which Is estimated to
have been $4,000, 900 before the last rebel
lion in Cuba broke out, and $500 900, 900
contracted since 1895
Finally. it is said that there are persons
high in the Spanish councils who claim
that Spain would rather submit dumbly
and helplessly to defamation or dismem-
berment than confront this continued fin
ancial burden One course would leave
her pride unsullied it is claimed. and the
other is regarded as doubtful. if not inn
possible of adoption. within the boun-
daries of national solyency
Spain, however, will not break off the
present negotiations before having pro-
posed that the United States share half
the insuar debt.
Such a proposition would not be accept
ed by the United States either directly or
in behalf of Cuba.
The session of the joint commission end
ed at 4;50 p. m, yesterday
The adjournment of the joint commits
sion was until Wednesday next. Guam in
the Ladrone group has been chosen by the
Americans under the terms of the proto-
col. The chief matter considered at to-
days session was the American reply To
SPANS revised and renewed propositions
of the last meetings, and the indications
are that the Cuban question will be dis
posed of this week But no details have
been given out by either side regarding
SPANS presentment of Friday last or the
American answer of the same date.

THREE DAYS TO LEAVE CAMP.
VIII Clean out Entire Family If Not
Out of the Country

Wallace, Oct 24.-When Dan Conner
out Friday night to the dry room to eat
his midnight supper he was met by four
masked men with Tevolvers, who ordered
him to get out of the country within p
hours. He pleaded that he was a mar
ried man with wife and children nj Gem
a time without immense sacrifice, and
asked for week in which to comply with
the demands of the men. After some par
Icing he was granted three day, with
the threat that ii he was not out III that
time they would dispose of him, his wife
and his children, cleaning the family out
loot and branch.
Mr. Conner Immediately came to Wal
lace to arrange to leave the county of
which he has been resident for many
years. and where he has always been
known as lawabiding citizen. 1t was
said that he was ordered to leave because
he had discarged some men who were
not doing their work in Il satisfactory
manner. He says that in the light Of
previous events in that section there
seemed no other course for him to pursue
except to gather his family about him
and flee for safety.

where no cause for the outrage was ever
