Gen. Lees kilograms in Relation to
the Disaster.
The consular correspondence in part was
devoted to the Maine disaster, and in this
part Of the correspondence some important
and interesting points are developed. The cor
respondence consists largely of cablegrams
exchanged by Assistant Secretary of State
Day and Consul General Lee. The first of the
kilograms is dated in Havana Jan 10
and relates to the riots which were then oc,
curing III the city. This and the subsequent
kilograms upon the subject have been
published either in whole or in part.
On Jan. "a Gen. Lee was notified by the
state department that the Maine would call
at Havana in a day or two and was directed
to make arrangements for an interchange of
friendly calls between officers and authori-
ties.
Under the same date, Gen. Lee advised a
postponement of the Names visit for six or
seven days. that the excitement might abate.
Later on the same day Gen. Lee was noti-
fed that the Maine would arrive in Havana
the next day, and was asked to co-operate
with the authorities for her friendly visit
The next day Gen. Lee informed the state
department that the Spanish authorities pro-
fessed to think the United States had an ul-
terror purpose in sending the ship. saying:
Say 1t will obstruct autonomy, produce ex-
element and most probably demonstration.
Ask that 1t is not done until they can get in
structions from Madrid and say that If for
friendly motives, as claimed delay unim-
portant."
On Feb. 4, Assistant Secretary Day informed
Gen. Lee that the secretary of the navy
thought 1t imprudent for sanitary reasons to
keep the Maine long in Havana.
In reply Gen. Lee said he thought there
would be no danger to the health Of the yes

nounced the speaker, in clear, distinct
tones.
AS the reading began the ticking OF
the clock could have been heard, SO
intense was the silence. Every ear
was strained Many members leaned
over on their desks with their hands
to their ears to better catch the mo-
mentous words which fell from the lips
of the clerk. The latter read In loud,
clear voice, but in monotonous tone,
with no attempt at emphasis or decla-
nation. But the words needed no
defamation to add to their pregnant
import.
There were no demonstrations Of ap-
prevail or disapproval until toward the
latter part of the message came the
words, 1.-The war must stop" 1t was
greeted with a round Of applause from
about every quarter Of the Republican
side. The galleries gave no sign.
When the reading was concluded a
scattering outburst came from the Re
publican side, mingled with few
groans from the Democratic side. Again
the galleries were silent.
The speaker Immediately announced
the reference of the message and &C
company1ng papers to the committee
on foreign affairs, and without further
action the house proceeded to the con-
sideration of District of Columbia bust
ness.
Immediately the house was in an up
roar. The spectators focked from the
galleries, and the members retired to
the cloak rooms and Hobbies to discuss
the message. The speaker was obliged
to rap frequently for order.
After some district business had been
transacted, the contested election case
of Fairchilds against Ward, from the
Eighteenth New York district, was
taken up. After two hours debate the
majority report in favor of Mr.. Ward,
the sitting member, was adopted, 13S

At 455 the house adjourned.

IN THE HOUSE.
The Message Read and Then Re-
ferred Without Debate,


WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE presi-
dents message was read in the house
today in the presence of a vast assem-
hlage and referred to the committee on
foreign affairs without debate There
was absolutely no demonstration, either
Of approval or disapproval, from the
crowded galleries throughout or at the
conclusion Of the reading, but there
was sharp burst of applause from
the Republican side when, toward the
close of the message, the president said
the war in Cuba must cease.
At the conclusion Of the reading
about half the Republicans applauded
and several of the Democrats groaned.
Postmaster General Gary and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson were on the
floor just before house convened. AS the
hands of the clock pointed to noon, the
speaker entered, the hubbub ceased,
and amid an impressive silence the
chaplain invoked the divine aid in the
crisis.
Immediately after the reading Of the
journal contest arose between the
committee on elections and the COM
mittee on the District Of Columbia over
the right of way, and while the wran-
gle that followed, to the mystification
was at it's height Maj. Pruden, the
presidents executive clerk, suddenly
appeared in the main aisle bearing the
message.
Instantly the whispered word passed
around the dense galleries, 1.-The mes
sage 1.-The message. 1t was like an
electric shock. hush fell upon the
vast assemblage. The legislative gladi-
ators who were fighting for the right
of way fell apart. The speaker arose,
and Maj. Pruden announced the mes
sage.
AS it was carried down the aisle the
galleries leaned over with breathless
interest. and the members settled in
their chairs.

ciaI Communications From DipIo-

Department-Much Information
Kept From Public by President.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE con-
sular correspondence, with regard to
the situation in Cuba, which was
transmitted today, was prepared in
response to an inquiry by both house
and senate. The correspondence was
prepared for transmission to congress
Just before the blowing up of the
e-Maine, and, having been held up since,
now includes communications up to
April l.
1t contains communications of Gen.
Lee at Cuba, Consul Brice at Matan-
Zas, Consul McGarr at Cienfuegos, and
Consul Barker at Sagua Lagrande. The
communications make about $4,000
Nwords They deal largely with the
distress and suffering which exists in
all the districts. But Gen. Lee writes
quite fully upon the DEGREES of the
government in regard to autonomy
and other political phases of the sit
uation.
In preparing the correspondence for
transmission to congress, considerable
portions of the important oommunica-
ttonS, and especially those marked con-
fldential, are omitted. The resolutions
to which they are the response in each
instance asked only for such CORE
spondence as 1t was not deemed In
compatible with the public interest to
make public.

PERILS OF THE SEAL FISHERIES
TERRIBLE DISASTER OFF COAST
OF NEWFOUNDLAND.
Forty-eight Men Succumbed to the
Terrible Storm Among the Ice
Floes-Fifty or Sixty Injured.

st. Johns n. F., March 26.-The
steamer Greenland, returning from the
seal fisheries, put into Bay de Verde
tonight and reported a terrible disaster
On Wednesday last, when among the
ice foes. while her crew were travelling
about the foes in search of seals, a
storm arose, accompanied by a binding
snow, which drifted rapidly, and a Sc
we're frost. The members of the crew
who were on the ice could not regain
the vessel and were exposed TO the ter
rible weather throughout the night and
all the next day FOrty-eight men per-
ished and between so and so were so
badly bitten that the amputation
of one or more of their limbs will have
TO be undergone by all of them. Yes
terday the Greenland succeeded IN re-
covering the bodies of % of the victims
but the remaining % were buried be-
meath the snow drifts.
All of the frost-bitten men are now
aboard the steamer and are sunerinS
terribly, having been without proper
medical attendance. From the clrcum-
stances of the disaster. il is feared that
other steamers have suffered in sim
liar manner. The city is in a state or
great excitement. The disaster is the
worst recorded in the history of the
sealing industry. Most of the victims
were married men.
The Greenland is expected to arrive
here tomorrow, and the government is
making preparations for the accOmmo-
dation of the frost-bitten sufferers

Too Bad!

The makers of Pride of Japan tree tea)
have advertised that Thos. Price, analytical
chemist of San Francisco, and Prof. 7. T.
Kingsbury of. the University of Utah, have
given them certificates that the above brand
of tea is perfectly pure.
The deduction drawn from this analysis is,
that the Pride of Japan tea which you buy in
the stores is perfectly pure.
While it is quite possible to buy pure tea
like ScAiAing's Best) and pack it in Pride of
Japan packages, and submit it to chemists for
ANALYSIS; still we assert that the Pride of Japan
tea sold in this market is artihcially colored
with coloring matter.
We don't know how these endorsements
were secured; but it is pity that the names
of such eminent authorities should be used to
back up statements made in the advertisements
of Pride of Japan.
Schi1ling's Best tea is not only guaranteed
pure, but it is such tea you would drink
yourself if you knew all about it.
Besides it is money-back, and that is backing
enough in the long run.
