MADRID, March 90-A cabinet coun-
cIl was held this afternoon to consider
the American proposals. Another will
be held tomorrow ut noon, presided
over by the Queen Regent, and at 4
O'Clock tomorrow there will be q final
conference between United States Min
ister Woodford, Senior Sagasta, the
premier; Senior Moret, the minister for
the colonies.
The proposition which Spain will
answer covers two points only, and its
publication will be n revelation to some
of those who have been denouncing
Americas aggressive attitude. 1t is as
follows:
s'Spain to proclaim Immediately an
armistice in Cuba 10 last until October,
during which interval the United States
will use Its good offices with tho insur-
gents to make this temporary peace
permanent and, second, Spain to do
her best toward relieving suffering and
starvation on the island, with America
10 be allowed to assist IN this work"
The point which General Woodford
is now pressing is that in the interests
of humanity hostilities in Cuba must
cease Immediately. No date was fixed
either in the first or the present note,
but the United Statee is now dwelling
upon the meaning of the word "immo-
diately'' and insisting that Spain accept
its general Interpretation.

occasioned the greatest interest here,
coupled with no little excitement, as
word was passed about that the last

whore the Spanish government is now
considering W propositions presented
by the government of the United
States. On the answer TO these prOpO'
sitions probably depends the future
conrsc of the relations between Spain
and the United States.
Ii is believed that it is now but 4
question of an exceedingly short time
before the inevitable crisis Il come,
The Spanish ministry will hold IL
cabinet council tomorrow, after the
propositions have been submitted to
the queen regent, and as n result of
that conference 1t is expected by the
administration that q definite answer
TO Its proposals will be received. The
propositions submitted by this country
contemplate q complete and immediate
cessation of hostilitics IN Cuba, the
return of the rec]oncentrados to their
usual avocations and the independence
of Cuba, this last feature to be secured
probably on an indemnity basis, by
which the island would pay q substan-
tial sum for its freedom from Spanish
rule.
These propositions take a wide scope,
and there are many details in the
alternative propositions, the purpose
being to prevent every possible plan
promising n solution of the Cuban
problem, so long as an end of the
Cuban war and Cuban independence
we're embodied IN the ultimate result.
TWO ALTERNATIVES GIVEN.
1t has been made perfectly clear to
Spain that nothing less than a close
of the war and the independence of the
island will suffice as an adequate set
Element. 1t is now for Spain to accept
or reject these tenders. There is no
disposition to urge n rather than
another, so long as the conclusion
reached brings the termination
of the war and Cuban independence.
Never before, until now, has the
government entertained such
propositions even for 4 moment. Now,
in the stress of the present emergency,
with declarations of war introduced IN
The American congress, Spain has re-
.luctantly consider them. This in itself
has given lively hope of satisfactory

THINKS WAR Is CERTAIN.

The Armstrong; Spanish agent, a
Spaniard, who is IN touch with the

WASHINGTON, d. C, March 30
The president told Il senator today thai
Sagasta yesterday had asked this gov
eminent through diplomatic channels
whether the independence of Cuba was
necessary to the preservation of peace,
and had beer informed that it was.
President Mckinley has sent an
ultimatum to Spain. 1t insists that
the war in Cuba shall be brought to an
end To this Sagasta has replied ask
ing for time enough TO present ii to the
cabinet and the queen regent.
An answer is expected by Friday ut
latest. Everybody but the president
and his cabinet confidently expects
Spain to refuse to name a time for end
ing the war or to consent to p~eaceably
eVacuate the island Then there will
be nothing left but war; at any event
the administration, it il thought, will
light when cornered. The proposition
TO compel the Cubans to pay 5000. OOO,-
900 for the freedom they have practic-
ally won with blood has been emphati-
cally r~epudiated.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 21 John w.
Kelley, the inventor of the Kelley
motor, died yesterday at his home in
this city from pneumonia He was
taken i'll on Saturday last and con
tinued to grow steadily worse until
his death
Mr.. Kelley was 81 years of age and
leaves a widow. He was a native of
this city. His education was meagre,
and at an early age he became car
penter, following that trade until 1872
1t was in that year that he announced
that he was the discoverer of a new
force by which motive power would be
revolutionized Following this he
constructed what has become known
as the Kelley motor On November
10, 1874, he gave it's first exhibition
before number of capitalists and
scientists, who advanced 100000 to
enable him to perfect his discovery
and apply the principle. Since then
large sums of money have been ex-
pended without any practical public
results.
Between 1874 and 1891, Kelley con-
structed and discarded 12O different
models. In his first model he en-
ployed water as q generator, but later
the experiments were made with what
he called Il ''liberator," machine
equipped with large number of tun-
ing forks, which, he claimed, disinte-
grated the air and released a powerful
etheric force.
In 1898, he was Tor a time confined
in Jail for contempt of court for refus-
ing to disclose the secret by which he
produced many remarkable effects in
the presence of experts. but until his
death the secret was known only to
himself. Among those interested in
his scientific efforts was Mrs. Bloom
+ sld Moore, the well known society
woman, who advanced sums of money
to Kelley for the purpose of his inven-
ton Kelley sank millions of other
peoples money in his scheme
