FOR CUBAN LIBERTY.
Some Werin Speeches Made In the United
States Senate.

Washington. April 6.-Turner of
Washington, in the senate, made a
vigorous speech in favor of Cuban free
dom lie said the administration had
not acted as it should or IL would have
freed Cuba before this He laid great
stress upon the destruction of the
Maine, saying that Spain was RESPONSE
ble. He would cheerfully vote for a
declaration of war. He said that Spain
was a nation Of cruelty, deceit and
blood. The galleries were crowded
despite a snow and sleet storm. Har-
ris of Kansas followed Turner in a
fyreech on the same question. The Gu,
bans have earned liberty by blood and
tears. he said. He charged the destruc-
tion of the Maine to official treachery
on the part of Spain. That backest
crime of all nations, he declared, would
not be allowed to become a mere Incl
dent. Harris was applauded by the
galleries when he closed.
Chandler said The United States
ought to Immediately declare war
against Spain and to maintain that
war until the people of Cuba are made
free from Spanish starvation and cruel
~ and the government Of the island
finelly.. established as an independent
republic. The reasons for declaring war
are apparent to the world
Tufple, member of the foreign rela-
tions committee followed Chandler. He
said 1t was the duty of the American
congress to intervene for the Cuban re-
public. The United States had main
tanned blockade for Spain at great
cost. The government of Cuba ought
to be recognized, maintained and sup
ported. Turpie said It had cost us mill
ions to shut off the supply of ammuni-
ton which would have enabled the Gu
ban government to secure it's freedom.
Turpie said 1t was only the Spanish
moloch which would say, Suffer little
children to come unto me and we will
starve you to death"

special dispatch from Rome says
telegram received at the Vatican from
the United States has announced the
failure of the popes Intervention. 1t
says that President Mckinley showed
himself extremely sensitive of the initi-
ative taken by the pontiff, but it was
impossible for him to overcome the
prejudice, even though 1t may be un-
Just, entertained by majority of the
American people against the Vatican's
intervention in political affairs.
Rome. April cit is authoritatively
said that'the pope's proposed terms are
such as can be accepted by Spain and
supported by the United States minis
ter, General Woodford. in forward
ing them to President Mckinley. The
pope's initiative is based wholly on the
fact that Spain. when she asked for
the good offices of the powers also asked
for the popes good Offices. The inter
position of the pontiff has thus far been
confined TO efforts to bring about an
armistice between Spain and the Ansur-
gents.
Madrid, April 6.-The minister OF for
eign affairs, Senor Gullon, in an inter-
view just obtained, said the Spanish
government is expecting the speedy ar

in the ice, says that the steam tender

men on the froZen-in vessels are suffer-

scarcity of provisions and are compelled
to feed on the rankest kind of fish and
meat. The natives are fast disposing
of the dogs-at $50 head. Tilton came
south by way Of Mackenzie and Yukon
rivers and was just Ave months and
twenty-five days making the trip of
1000 miles to the Pacific coast during
which he and his two Indian guides suf-
fered the most excruciating agony from
the intense cold.
On his way out Tilton met Lieutenant
Jarvis and the overland relief expedi-
ton. He directed them to the point at
which the fleet is frozen in, but 1t was
thought best that he continue on his
way home to st. Michaeis in order to
make known the safety Of the men con-
nected with the fleet No deaths had
occurred among the whalers when Til

prospect Of the whalers, he said that
beyond a doubt the vessels will be
ground into match-wood, and nothing

ORIGIN OF PAPAL MEDIATION.
As Stated by "a High Spanish Parsonage Of
Great Authority.

Great Authority.
Madrid, April 6.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has Just
had an interview with a high parsonage
of great authority, who cleared upmany
discrepancies in previous reports, show
ing just how the papal Intervention oc-
Cured. This minister said:
There is no pspal telegram what
ever. What happened was that the
Spanish ambassador at the Vatican
was approached by Cardinal Rampolla
the papal secretary of state), who told
him that the president Of the United
States had allowed 1t to be understood
that papal Intervention would be ac-
ceptable. The Spanish ambassador
wired here to that effect, and there
upon we indicated that though having
sent categorical reply to President
McKinley-the terms having previous
ly been conceded to the last point con-
sistent with Spains honor-we were
certain the pope would respect the
rights and honor of Spain, and agreed
to his Intervention. 1t was impossible
for our regular army, fighting rebels,
to agree to offer an armistice at the
suggestion OF certain foreign power,
but when the father Of Christendom,
without force but with vast moral pow
er, offered Intervention we could not
refuse accepting, knowing well that re-
lance might be placed upon his inde-
pendent judgment. So not an armis-
tice. but truce-a truce of God--has
been agreed upon. This. however, re-
quires action upon the part of the
United States-conq qeuuapfial ootiop 20
our concession. ''' Spain has shown
her willingness to secure peace by con-
cessions to the last point consistent
with her national honor. The future
depends upon the power OF the Ameri-
can government in controlling hostile
public opinion.

Bill to Put Michigan Guards on War
Footing.
Lansing, Mich, April 6.-Two bills
are now being prepared in the office of
the adjutant general which will be in
troduced in the legislature, as soon as
the governor, by special message,
brings 1t within the scope of that body
to legislate upon subjects other than
those which were named in his call for
a special session. The first will pro-
vide for an appropriation of $500, 900 20
place the state on a war footing. 1t
Will be similar In terms to the law of
1861, by which an appropriation of
H,000,000 was made for war purposes.
The bill will provide for the issue of
bonds for term not exceeding twenty
years probably at 8 per cent. interest,
the bonds to be issued as the money is
required.
The second bill will provide for in
creasing the membership Of the Michi-
gan National guard to $50 men percom-
pany, the present law limiting the
membership to eighty men and three
commissioned officers. The governor
will, II is understood, pave the way
for the action of the legislature upon
these bills by special message. Cap
tain Gardner OF the United States army
has been in consultation with Adjutant
General Cysh and several communica-
tions have been received from the gov
ernor bearing upon the subject under
consideration. Arrangements were
made for the equipment Of the state
naval reserves, the number OF whom
will at once be Increased to 300.
