the diplomatic representative of the
Cuban insurgents in this city, was seen
this afternoon by an Associated Press
reporter with regard to the constantly
reiterated reports from Madrid that the
queen regent might issue an armiStice
proclamation.
1T is useless for u.s. said Mr.. CUES
ada, ito reiterate again for the thous-
andth time that we will not accept an
armistice and give up the advantage
we naturally possess in the rainy sea-
son. We understand perfectly that
Spain seeks only delay. We will have

ter of fact, an armistice is a suspension
of hostilities to be arranged by the OPP
posing generals.
TWO TO AGREE.
General Blauco and General Gomez
would have to agree to an armistice.

Mr.. Quesada has letter from Cen

which shows how hopeful he is of sue

ter futiiity of attempting negotiations
with Spain. A portion of the letter is
as follows:

STEAMSHIP RATES TO ALASKA.
At Frisco They Are Cut In Two and
Further Cut Predicted.

San Francisco. April "a general
cutting of steamship rates to Alaska
has begun. The companies operating
steamers plying between this city, Sc
attic and Alaskan ports have reduced
their rates considerably. One vessel,
which sailed for Dyea yesterday. car
ried passengers to that place for $50
and $50, the former rate being SCI and
$50. This cut was made to meet the
scale of prices offered by Seattle COM
panies. Fares from San Francisco to
Copper river are reduced from 500 and
S75 to $s5 and $50; from Copper City
from $50 and $50 to $50 and $50; from
San Francisco to Cooks Inlet. from
sos and $50 to $50 and $65. and from
Seattle to Cooks Inlet. from S95 and
S75 to SIS and $50.
1t is expected that business will i'm
prove when the trade TO St. Michaels
opens up, but the most sanguine do not
anticipate a return of the old rates. In
view of the large number of vessels
ged in the trade. still further re-
duction is anticipated before very long.

Ar SANTIAGO DE CUBA.
One American There Who Will Take
His Chances.

Kingston, Jamaica, April 9.-When
United States Consul Hyatt left Santi-
ago de Cuba on Tuesday. one vessel,
the American schooner. Eleanor w.
Clark. of Portland, Me-, was in the
harbor, with 500 tons of coal. Consul
Hyatt warned the captain of the
schooner to leave without discharging
his cargo. The captain said he would
stay and take the chances.
Mr.. Hyatt says his withdrawal from
Santiago was received with surprise
by the Spanish authorities. They gave
him military escort to the steamer
Brookline.
Sir Augustus Helnming, governor of
Jamaica, has received a cable dispatch
from Halifax, announcing that the Tai
bot and two other British cruisers have
been ordered here. The increase of the
fleet and the British forces in the island
are connected in unofficial minds with
the existing relations between Spain
and the United States.

wooDFoRD's OPINION.

General Woodford has no information
relative to the withdrawal of the
American warships. This afternoon
General Woodford paid a visit to Senior
Gullon, minister of foreign affairs. The
generals opinion this evening is that
today's events settle satisfactorily the
first stage of the Spanish-American
difficulty and insure peace.
BASIS OF ARAIISTICE.
7:15 =. m.-The ministers. on being
questioned by the reporters. refused 10
give any information regarding the ne
gotiations. but it is understood they
are based on an armistice and with
drawal of the American squadron from
Havana and the Philippines If the
war is not concluded Immediately the
United States is to withdraw all moral
and material support from the insur-
gents.

of President McKinleys message to
congress will again be postponed. the

Ell Correo (oficiaD says: while

posed in the interests of peace
ALL SIGNED IT.
The decision was attended by the
usual solemnity by the drafting of the
minutes, which the entire ministry
signed.
The news of the granting of an armi-
stice was received on the bourse with
satisfaction and a rapid advance in
values quickly followed.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The ambassadors collectively called
upon Senior Gullon, requesting that
Spain grant the armistice so repeatedly
begged for by the pope. The cabinet
then met. General Correa. minister of
war. and admiral Bermejo. minister of
marine. objected to the granting of an

granted by Spain. and refused to dis
cliss it or the bearing it would have on
the situation in any way.
With the conditions suggested by
Spain. it is felt that a new and even
graver crisis may arise. Coming late at
night. there is no opportunity TO judge
how the Spanish conditions will be re-
ceived by congress, but in view of the
sentiment OF the senate and house, It
is felt that the conditions proposed by
Spain may accentuate the feeling al
ready existing here.

On Friday evening Recorder Levi
Turner of the Portland Municipal court,
who was elected clerk of the corporation
at the original meeting Of the directors
dumped into the Portland post office a
half-bushel of letters addressed to the 1900
stockholders of the concern. The letters
had been sent him from the Boston head
quarters, all directed and stamped, and
his only part in sending them out was to
open the box and mail the letters in the
local post Office.
Every letter contained an official noti-
flcation of a meeting of stockholders to be
held at Mr.. Turner's office in Portland,
next Friday. The meeting is expected to
be but formal affair, for the ratification
of whatever business is done by the stock
holders at their informal discussion of the
oompany's affairs, to be held in Boston
the preceding day. The Boston meeting
is likely to be exceedingly lively. Proba-
bly, only a small delegation of the stock

MUSIC AND DRAMA
McCuLLuM.s THEATRE.

"The Ensign" closed it's engagement of
two weeks at McCullums theatre, last
night, before one of the largest ana most
appreciative audience of the season. MIR.
McCullum is so encouraged at the re.
suits attained by this play that he has de-
cided to extend his season four weeks and
devote bis efforts to the presentation of
even more elaborate productions than
"The Ensign"
Commencing tonight and con-
tinuing every evening during the week
with daily matinees commencing Tues
day, Manager McCullum and his splendid
company will display their versatility in
the celebrated classic comedy of Harry
and Edward Paulton, entitled "Niobe. !"
1t will be remembered that this highly
amusing play scored one of the biggest
hits of the season last summer at the ISL
and, and Manager MoCullum presents 1T
next week by special request Of large
number of his patrons. Miss Leigh will
play "Niobe,'' the role she SO capably
filled in last seasons production, and
MIR. McCullum will provoke roars OF
laughter in his original character OF
Peter Amos Dunn. Several new MEM
bers will make their first appearance
with the McCuIlum company, Monday
evening, and an occasion of general in.
tsrest will be the return of charming
Genevieye Reynolds, one of last season S
greatest favorites, to TIE company. Miss
Dorothy Kent, one of the new members,
who will be seen in an ingenue role,
next week, is an attractive young lady
whose talent has brought her to the front
rank in the theatrical profession. Last
season she was a member of the same
company on the road as Miss Leigh. and
the two ladies became warm personal
friends. Miss Kent just closed success.

OAKS FOR THE CAPE.

An arrangement has been made by
Manager McCullum and with the Off
GERS of the Cape road, that will be great
ly appreciated by the ladies who attend
the evening performances at MoCullum' $
theatre in small parties. Commenolng
Monday evening special car will leave
Monument square with the regular
theatre trip at z 30 p. M, that Will be de-
voted exclusively to ladies attending the
theatre without male escort. After the
show this car will leave for the city from
the side track on the west side OF the
theatre. One of the advantages of this
arrangement is that it entirely avoids
the necessity of ladies '. no are unattend
ed by gentlemen hurrying to get seat;
