THE CONSULAR REPORTS.
Fully Corroborate Previous Statements of
 Spain's Unspeakable Cruelty.

Fully Corroborate Previous statements or
 spain's Unspeakable Cruelty.
 Washington, April 12.-In connection with his message the president sent to congress an expurgated report of the correspondence between the state de- partment and the consuls in Cuba. It contains about 60,000 words, dealing largely with the distress and suffering of the reconcentrados. It covers the communications of Consul General Lee at Havana, Consul McGarr at Cienfue. gos, Consul Brice at Matanzas, Consul Hyatt at Santiago de Cuba and Consul Barker at Sagua la Grande. It was prepared in response to a resolution of inquiry adopted by both the house and senate.
 In preparing the correspondence foI transmission to congress confidential and important communications were omitted. Public welfare is the reason given for not letting the people know what American consuls have found in Cuba.
 The conclusions to be drawn from the reports are: First.-The death rate among the reconcentrados in Havana is v per cent. In the other towns it is about 50 per cent Second-Four hun. dred thousand self supporting people were beggared by General Weyler's re- concentrate order, and 200, 900 have died from starvation. For fear of charges of exaggeration General Lee cut this estimate down from a higher and ,orob- ably more correct number. Third Spain spent II cents for the relief of each 12,000 starving persons and then stopped her relief work. Fourth.-Not even the immediate intervention of the United States can prevent the death of thousands from starvation. It is too late. Fifth.-Autonomy Is a. failure. Sixth.-Spain is helpless, and the island is in a state of anarchy.

ACTION OF CONGRESS.
Proceedings of Senate and House During
 the Past Week.

the Past Week.
 Washington, April 7.-President Me- Kinley decided not to send his message to congress until Monday on account of representations from Consul General Lee that the lives of Americans in Cuba would be imperiled by its appearance. There is said to be a possibility that concessions from Spain may render it unnecessary to send it at all. Some im- patience over the delay was manifested in congress, but the presidents reasons were generally accepted.
 Washington, April S.-In the senate yesterday the sundry civil bill was un- der consideration, the debate being on a proposition to improve Mobile harbor In the house Mr. Lentz (Dem.) of ohiJ made a bitter attack on President Mc- Kinley in connection with the Cuban of Ohio indignantly replied. The army reorganization bill was sent back to tho military affairs committee. Both houses adjourned until Monday.
 Washington. April l2.-The presidents message on the Cuban question was read in both branches of congress yes- terday and referred by each body to It's committee on foreign affairs. No further business of importance was be- fore either the senate or house.
 Washington, April 13.-In the senate yesterday the Cuban question was de- bated for three hours, the speakers be- ing Senators Mason, Butler and Pettus all of whom favored war with Spain. In the house. in reply to an attack on the president by MT. Lentz, Mir. Gros- venor declared that the message meant the establishment of an independent government in Cuba. Messrs. Hepburn, Bailey and others also spoke on the Cu- ban question.

ARMED INTERVENTION.
The Recommendations of the Committees
 on Foreign Relations.


 Foreign Relations.
 Washington, April 13.-The burden oi responsibility for the next move in the Spanish crisis having been shifted by the presidents message upon the shoal- ders of congress, the capitol has now the storm center, with the foreign af- fairs committees of the two houses as the foci. The struggle in each com mittee was long and bitter, with this marked difference between that at the senate wing and that at the house end of the capitol: In the senate commit tee the Democrats as we'll as the Re- publcans participated. while at the house end the task was to secure har- monious action among the Republicans, so as to present. if possible, a solid front when the Democrats are finally called in for action.
 Both the senate and house commit tees late last night reached an agree ment to recommend the Foraker reso- lution, which Is modified by the elimi- nation of the second paragraph, which recognizes Cuban independence, and other slight changes made to conform to the decision reached by the com mittees.
 A preamble to the resolution recites the ground of offense against Spain which eliminated in the destruction of the Maine. for which disaster the pre- amble declares that Spain is responsi- ble.
 The following is the original resolu. ton introduced by Senator Foraker:
 Be it resolved by the senate and the house of representatives of the United States of America:
 Ti.st.-That the people of the island ara and of right ought to be free and inde- pendent.
 Second.-That the government of ths United States hereby recognizes the Repub- lie of Cuba as the true and lawful govern. ment of that isslnd.
 Third.-That the war Spain is wagins against Cuba is so destructive of the com mercial and property interests of the Unit ed States and so cruel. barbarous and in- human in its character as to make 1t the duty of the United States to demand, and the government of the United States does hereby demand, that she at once withdraw her land and naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters.
 Fourth.-The president of the United States be, and he Is hereby, authorized, em. powered and directed to use. if necessa=Y

kITCHENER,S VICTORY.
Anglo-Egyptian Forces In the Sudan De
 feat the Dervtshes.

Cairo, Egypt, April s.-The Anglo Egyptian forces under General Sir Herbert Kitchener attacked the dervlsh position yesterday and carried Nah moud's zariba. the center of his fortlfi- cations, without check. Mahmoud, the dervish general, was among the prison CTS captured.
 The authorities call today's bat tie the most brilliant ever fought in the Sudan, everything having been carried straight through without n hitch or check. While the position was shelled by the maxim-nordenfeldts and shrap- nels the dervishes hardly attempted a reply. Nothing was visible in front of the position except a solitary wab- bling camel, but in the trenches the large number of mangled donkeys and camels proved the terrific effect of oui fire. Inside the zariba there was an astonishing labyrinth of earthworks, every goat seemingly having had It's own shelter and trench.
 Mahmoud's army is practically wiped out Four thousand of his followers have been taken prisoner, and he him self has been caught hiding in n hole under a bed. He Is a tall, dignifed, sensuous looking, black Baggnra, about 35 years of age, with a shaved head. When taken, he was dressed in rich. ly embroidered robe.

 Near the Scene of the Disaster, Which
 Is the Worst In I<Iondike History.
 Seattle. Wash, April i2.-The steamer Alki has arrived, bringing m account of snowslide on the Chilkoot trail in which 70 persons are known to have been killed. It is dated Skaguay. April 3:
 At about noon today on the Chilkoot trail at least 75 men met death. and a large number of others were injured more or less seriously in n snowslide. The dead were crushed under an ava lanche of snow and ice which cama down from the mountain side upon the left of the trail midway between the Scales and Stone House.
 over 100 people were overtaken by the slide and are either buried in the snow or scattered along the borders of the avalanche fin a more or less injured condition.
 The point at which ths accident oc- cured is some five miles above sheep Camp. The nearest telephone station is four miles distant The telephone wires at this point were carried away by ths slide. This fact makes it difficult to ob- tain further particulars at this time.
 Binding storm Was Raging.
 A blinding snowstorm was raging all day upon the summit. and as a conse- quence many of those in the vicinity were making no attempt to travel. Be- barth, sprague and Stevenson of Seat tie were travelling together as partnerL and were found side by side in bed.

Upon receipt of the news. points below Dyea telephoned up to know If assist ance was required and received answer to the effect that 5000 people were at work on the debris and were only in each others way.
 All day Saturday and Sunday n south erly storm, with rain wind and snow, prevailed in this vicinity, and it is be- lieved the softeninR of the snow on the mountainside was the cause of the avalanche. The snow and ice that came down in the slide is estimated at thou sands of tons. 1t swept across the trail which. notwithstanding the fact that the weather is unsuitable for trav- el, was thronged with wayfarorn. The last vestige of the trail in the vicinity was wiped out of existence, and where it lay is now a mountain of snow and ice, under which are many bodies that cannot be recovered for days to come.
 There was n preliminary slide at ] o'clock in the morning. People were digging up their goods when the Bec- ond slide occurred about noon.
 IL is stated that some warning of the impending disaster was given by the native Indian packers, who are said to have deserted the trail when the heavy snow of Saturday and Sunday night set in. They refused to work for fear of slides. The work of searching for the dead will be continued as long an there is any hope of recovering any one. though it is feared that it must be dis. continued before the whole truth ia known. rG
 Latest reports are that 60 bodies have been recovered,

ippines it is different, In the first
place America had no Intention of
aiding the insurgents She declared
war against Spain on accoudt Of
Cuba, and in the prosecution OF
said war, destroyed the Spanish
Asiatic fleet and captIred the baV
and city of Manila, and holds the
Philippines as captured territory,
and will continue to do so until a
final settlement is reached This
country has never recognized the
belligerancy of the insurgents, nor
has it asked their aid in fighting
the Spaniards. 1t is not even rea-
sonable that we should want for an
ally a race Of ignorant negritos, who
as the Dictator" himself declares,
know nothing of the cardinal prin-
ciples of government, and he even
asked if Australia was not a colony
of the United States. As we have
never recognized the Philippines as
anything but Spanish territory,
so we shall consider it as captured
territory in the final settlement Of
the question. America went into
the war without consulting anyone,
and will end it in the same way.
