THE SENATE AGREES.
A Resolution Will Be Passed This
 Legislative Day.

Washington, April 15.-The senate of the United States is still in the throes of discussion of the Hispano-Ameri- can crisis. While the senate talks the people of the country, of the civilized world, await it's verdict.
 That verdict will be returned in ac- cordance with an agreement reached late tonight, some time during the legislative day of tomorrow, but that legislative day may extend into Sun day.
 After the debate had continued for eight hours today an effort was made to reach an agreement to begin to vote upon all of the pending resolutions at 7 o'clock tomorrow evening, and in the confused colloquy among the sen ators there was made manifest for the first time a disposition to filibuster.
 MT. Caffery of Louisiana, although disclaiming any intention to delay &C., tion unduly, objected to any agree ment for the fixing Of a time to vote The debate then proceeded, but in a few minutes MT. Wellington of Mary land entered motion to adjourn. This

THE PRESIDENTS BACKING
He Has Power to Call the Militia Into
 the Field.

Washington April 15.-Major-Gen- eral Miles, commanding the army, said today that considerable misapprehen- sion exists in regard to the raising of troops in the event of war. He thought the people should understand the situation more thoroughly than appears to be the case at present
 Tn the event of the passage of the resolution reported by the senate for eing relations committee" said Gen. eral Miles, "the president would have authority to call into the service of the gov srnment the militia to the number of about 12,00O,000. The third section of the resolution directs and empowers the president tc. use the land and naval forces of tie United States and calls into the actual service of the United States the militia of the several states to such extent as may be necessary to carry these resolutions into effect"

The Horrors Of War Afford No
 Cause of Dread.
Austria Makes Final Effort to Array the InfIu ence of Eu- rope Against the United States. England Declines to Take Part in Naval Demonstration.

Washington, April 15.-The Spanish American crisis is now practically at hand. The immediate future is so evil dent that the crisis may be said to have passed, and consequently the suspense has given way to the certainty of war. It has been agreed that the senate will reach aefinal vote tomorrow night, and there is no doubt that the vote will recognize the independence of Cuba. The resolution will go to the house on Monday and from what can be learned the house will interpose no strenuous objection to the substitution of the senate resolution for the report of the house committee.
 This will not indicate that the house has changed it's view with regard to the course that should be pursued, but events have so shaped themselves today that it is felt that no further time should be exhausted in a useless discussion of methods.
 A semi-offcial declaration from Madrid today removed the slightest hope of peaceful adjustment of the questions which have been presented. An activity in certain qua, ters of Eu- rope has convinced statesmen that no good and much harm may result from de.ay.
 This situation was recognized early in the day and the military and naval departments entered upon operations, the character of which leave no doubt Of the absolute certainty of war
 The mobilization of the military forces upon gulf points was begun and the last orders issued tonight provide for the removal of all troops that can be spared from posts in various parts of the country.

THE ATTITUDE OF SPAIN.
American Know Now Just What to
 Expect.

Washington, April 15.-In view of tude of Spain the foreign authority authorized the following semi-official statement of the Spanish position as to the surrender of Cuba: Once and for all let it be understood that inn pressions as to Spain's relinquish- ment of the island of Cuba are false and are calculated to inspire false hopes and embarrass intelligent ac- tion.
 ''The government of Spain has never entertained the thought and never will entertain it, of evacuating Cuba. The honor and dignity of Spain revolt at the suggestion of the independence of Cuba, which would alike reduce that island to the misery of irresponsible rule and at the same time terminate Spanish authority irreparably bound up with the prosperity of the island For this and other reasons the report that Spain is slowly yielding to retire. ment from Cuba are both mlschievous and groundIeSs.
 "No rulers, no statesman, no cortes of Spain would ever consider such { humiliation. But in the face of it Spain always desirous of peace an( ready by every honorable means to SC cure. peace, will stand resolutely in de fense of her inalienable right. he l sovereignty and her honor, and sh, 1 feels confident she has with her tn moral support of the entire civilized 1 world"

It cannot be longer doubteE that it is country of unparalleled richness and that it has come to stay On Walsh creek over 300 claims have been located, but no reliable word comes down as to the importance od the finds there. The latest stampede is to the Big Salmon, but the impress sion prevails that the strike there will not prove valuable. These two points are supposed to be south of the impoC- tant gold belt.
 I shall be able to write Of all these things more intelligently and from A nearer point of view in a few days since I leave for Skaguay on the 18th inst, taking with me Blakely Gro ham of Denver and New Mexico and S. W. Monroe of Phoenix and a very compact pack train of twelve burroe. From the trail and the lakes and the crowds of prospectors much informa- tion of value to the prospective Klon- dyker may be picked up and hopa to be the first correspondent to inter view many a returning miner. For such a one there will always be free ride on my donkey flesh, on condition that he will work his jaws-and I am inclined to think that, after six hun dred miles of walking the change win be acceptable.
 Freight is moving rapidly over the Skaguay trail now and steamer rates here are declining. So many new boats have been put on that there IS sharp competition and a rate war is expected. For such as have made ID their minds to go it is time to start
 When the first gold comes out from Dawson the rush will increase to ue-
 mendous proportions and traffic will

MIR. BAILEY'S HEAD.
He Values 1t More Lightly Than His
 Honor

Washin gton, April 15.-There was another lively session in the house to- day. Rising to a personal explanation MT. Bailey said the speaker was re- sponsible for the late scene in the house. Hot words passed between him and MT. Dalzell, republican of Penn sylvania, who alleged that MT. Bailey was taking his daily airing and had, as the papers stated, lost his head.
 MT. Bailey responded angrily that gentlemen when insulted and called liars were charged with having lost their heads if they resented an insult He said he would infinitely prefer to lose his head in resenting an insult than his self respect in submitting to one. The house was keyed to an in- tense pitch.
 The democrats applauded MT Bailey's utterances, and the republicans broke into cheers when the speaker with voice trembling with suppressed emotion, declared he refused to enter into a discussion of his course with MT. Bailey. The house then took up the private calendar.

STAINS ALLY.
Counting on the Cooperation of Yel,
 low Jack in Cuba.

Madrid, April 15-(Via Bayonne France.)-The action taken by the Spanish cabinet here today has con- f1rmed the general belief which has been prevalent here since yesterday that war is now inevitable The war like tone of the official note issued by the Spanish government finds general approval here and creates much ex- citement.
 Contrary to the general opinion that the queen has been negotiating for peace at any price, her attitude today had much to do with the firm action of the cabinet. It is learned on un- questionable authority that the queen regent recently made the following statement: 'I prefer even the horrors of war rather than tarnish on the prestige of the army or an impairment of the rights of the crown."
 The report that Spain has purchased the Hamburg-American liners Nor mannia and Columbia. was confirmed tonight. It is said that the minister for the colonies, Senor Moret, bought them without consulting Admiral Bermejo, the minister of marine.
 As indicated tonight in the Heraldo, Spain is figuring on the yellow fever being all important factor of the Cuban situation. It says: We have 100000 troops on the island, perfectly ac- climatized, and the Americans who are landed there will die like flies''

WILL END THIS NIGHT An Agreement Has Been Reached in the Sen-
 ate to Adopt a Resolution
 A RECOGNITION OF CUBA

was defeated by decisive vote of 61 to 10.
 At 6 o'clock tonight another effort was made to reach an agreement to adjourn, but it, too, was unavailing. The scene in the senate this afternoon as to the war of words that was being waged was a memorable one.
 With one exception every member of the senate was there and the ex- ception, MT. Walthall of Mississippi, was confined to his bed ill. During the day speeches were delivered by Cullom of Illinois, Berry of Arkansas, Daniel of Virginia, Tillman of South Carolina, Wolcott of Colorado, Spooner of Wisconsin, Chiffon of Texas, Teller of Colorado, and Stewart of Nevada.
 Notable speeches were made by MT. Daniel, who carried aloft the flag of recognition of the Cuban republics independence, while both MT. Wolcott and MT. Spooner magnificently SUD- ported the policy of the president and the foreign relations committee in i favor of armed intervention with ul- i innate independence Amid all the talk, however, it is not apparent that a single vote on the main question has been changed. The minds of the senators are made up as clearly as is the mind of America against Spain. A sensational incident occurred al 9:25 tonight. In a personal squabble over the recent trip made by MT Money of Mississippi to Cuba, between him and MT. Wellington of Maryland MT. Wellington charged Mr. Money with speaking in the senate as the agent of New York newspaper, when after a heated colloquy MT. Money said You lie," to the Maryland sen- ator. Subsequently MT. Money apollo gized to the senate for using unparlia- mentary language At 1O:45 the sen- ! ate adjourned until 10 o'clock tomor- TOW mornin

IT WILL BE RECOGNITION.
What the Senate Is Expected to Dc
 Tonight.

Washington, April 15.-It is the general belief Among senators that a vote will be taken by g or 10 o'clock tomorrow night. There being numer- ous amendments, there will be many roll calls. It is likely that the com mittee on resolutions with the minor lty amendment recognizing the repub- lie of Cuba will be adopted.
 The resolution agreed upon will be substituted for the house resolution. making it house measure to avoid the parliamentary difficulty of a new proposition in the house. It is sup posed the resolution will go to the house Monday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-10:3 80 a. m.--
The Spanish answer to the American
peace conditions will be presented to
the Government Of the United States
sometime toiay, probably this after
noon. 1t is definitely settled that 1t is
to be delivered prior to today's cabinet
meeting. No time has yet been fixed
for the delivery of the answer, and it
will net be until the French Ambassa-
dor has had time to give that needful
consideration and study to the reply,
which has been deciphered in full and
is now receiving close examination.
The reply will certainly be in the hands
of the United States Government dur
ing the day, but it is possible that the
Ambassador will deliver it to Secretary
Day and there may be no occasion for
any conference between the President
and M. Cambon. ~
CONDITIONS ARE ADDED.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Spain's reply
is an acceptance of all the conditions
laid down by the United States, but
Spain presents elaborate views on each
point involved, and on questions

carried into execution. Whether this
will be considered satisfactory remains
to be decided
