There is said to be an attempt on the
part Of certain conservative Senators
to prevent any stronger action by Con-
gress than the recognition of Cuban in
dependence, in the hope that the nego-
tiations may then be reopened and
war averted The prevailing sentiment
this moment seems to be to go further
and enforce recognition by armed in
terventiOn. This was the position taken
by General Grosvenor of Ohio in his
speech Thursday
General Grosvenor says that if war is
declared he is in favor of authorizing
the President to call out 100000 men,
and use as many as is necessary to
make the war short, sharp and decisive.
The ultra-conservatives are basing
their opposition to intervention on the
ground of SPANS revocation of the re-
concentrate decree and other measures
for feeding and otherwise relieving
their miseries
Representative Adams, who is acting
as Chairman of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs, saw the President
and State officials to-day, and after
ward consulted with members of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Rela-
tons Adams refused to talk on the
subject of his conversation with the
President, but it is understood that he
told the Executive it would be impos-
sible to prevent the Foreign Affairs
Committee or the House from taking
Immediate action and that delay be-
yond Tuesday was impossible.

jury From Responsibility in the
Uber Lynching Case at Genoa,
Nevada.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2.-It re-
Quired the jury but twenty-five min
utes to convict Albert Hoff of murder
In the first degree for the death of Mrs.
Mary It. CUTE on December 10th last.
Next Tuesday morning was fixed as
the time for the passage of the death
sentence.
While the jury was out Hoff dis
played signs of great nervousness. AS
soon as the verdict was rendered Hoff
evinced additional emotion by his
deathly pallor. He said nothing, and
attempted no demonstration. He re-
covered himself a little later, and as
the handouts were being locked, said:
well, it will soon be over. Tonight l
viii have a glass of steam beer and
will sleep in good bed
The evidence AGAINST Hoff was en-
tirely circumstantial. The District At
tOrney suggested three possible mo-
tives: First, anger because he had not
secured expected employment; second,
robbery; third. assault.
Hof's defense was an alleged alibi.

Americans Advised to Stay Around

HAVANA (via Key Vest, April g
The strong persuasion put forth by men

demonstration here on Thursday night,

war had been declared. Police precau-
tons were doubled, and Americans were
advised to stay around the central and
best guarded parts of the city.

ace that three United States war yes
sells had been seen patroliing the north
coast of Cuba. Whether this is true
or not the correspondents have no

had something to do with the departure
of the Vizcaya and Oquendo from the
harbor, though it has been known for
some time that these vessels were get
ting ready to sail at any moment. The
lower classes here think that the YES
sells, which they deem invulnerable,
have gone to Key West to destroy the

The bodies Of the victims of the ex-
plosion which have not been recovered,
numbering seventy-five or seventy-six

It is not generally known that former
citizen of Owensboro brought across the
ocean the first elephant that was ever i'll
America. The name of the gentleman
was Moses Smith, who at one time own
ed a vast body of land from the mouth
of Panther creek up the river, embrac-
ing nearly all the present farms in the
neighborhood of Sorgho. Mr.. Smith was
at Paris with his brother aud had
"more money than he knew what to do
with" He told his brother that he in
tended taking something to America
that the people had never seen. "You
had better buy an elephant, F." said the
iocular brother, and that was what
Moses did.
He picked out the biggest animal he
could find and paid an enormous price
for it. He brought it to New York,
where it was q nine days wonder, but
the owner soon found that he had some
thing worse than the proverbial white
elephant on his hands. He tried to sell
it, but could find no buyer and at last
undertook to give it away, in which he
was equally unsuccessful. Finally he
found man who agreed to pay him
500 for it. and this individual put it
on exhibition. He was SO successful
that he went into the show business and
made fortune out of Mr.. Smiths fol-
ly. Colonel Frank McKernan of Adair-
Vile is a grandson of Mr.. Smith, who
lived to great age at his home in this
county. (Ky.) Inquirer
