Torpedo FIotilla Arrives in Porto
Rico-Vizcaya and Oquendo Sail.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-The Mad
rid dispatch announcing the arrival of
the Spanish torpedo fiotilla at Porto
Rico was quite unexpected at Washing
ton, and created considerable comment
in navy circles. So far as could be
learned, no information on this point
has been received by either the State
of Navy Departments. The arrival of
the fiotilla surpasses all forecasts as to
the time necessary to make the trip
and indicates that high rate of speed
was maintained across the ocean. Pres
ident Mckinley manifested much inter
est in the dispatch from Madrid that
the Spanish flotilla arrived at Porto
Rico.
The Navy Department received infor-
nation today that the cruisers Vizcaya
and Oquendo, the two fine cruisers
which have been lying at Havana, have
left that port Their destination is not
known, but there is reason to believe
they have gone to join the torepdo
fotilla.

hope of satisfactory result. But it in
wolves a grave crisis in Spain and it
cannot be foretold what the final action
at Madrid will be-
The opinion in some circles in Wash
ington, however, is that Spain has re-
fused the demands of the United States
and that war is inevitable. This opin-
ion is based on the following outline
which it is said, Minister Woodford has
given of the reply of Spain to his note:
Spain neither accedes to nor declines
President McKinley's propositions
She makes a counter argument that
Spain should herself be allowed to pro-
pose terms as to what should be done
regarding her own territory.

Naval Bill In House Passed With
Display of Enthusiasm.

WASHINGTON, April AFTER an
exceedingly turbulent session of six
hours the House today passed the
naval appropriation bill and then ad-
journed until Monday. The war spirit
was manifested in all the speeches
and overrOde the Naval Committee it
self by increasing the number of tor
pedo boats and torepdo boat destroyers
TO 24-12 of each
The amendment of Cannon, chairman
of the Appropriations Committee, to re-
duce the number of battleships to one
was buried under an overwhelming ma
jority. Cannon, during the course of the
day, announced the belief of majority
of the members tina, war would be upon
us within a week.
Cannon offered a substitute for the
paragraph in the bill providing for
three battleships, six torpedo boat and
six torpedo boat destroyers. The sub
stitute provided for one battleship to
cost $3,OOO,OOO exclusive of armament,
u torpedo boat destroyers and II tor
pedo boats to cost not exceeding $4,
O,OOO.
After several hours of wrangling,
during which all sorts of amendments
were offered and voted down and many
speeches were made, the vote was
taken upon the Cannon substitute to
reduce the number of battleships to
one and to increase the torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers to u each.
1t was defeated-7S to 124.

OPINION IN WASHINGTON.
Maine Disaster Not to Be Made
Basis of Indemnity.

Maine Disaster Not to Be Made
Basis of Indemnity.
WASHINGTON March 26. The
Evening Star says: 1T is declared
that the President does not intend
that the Maine report shall be made
the point of contention between the
two governments. The finding of the
American court is final, and is not
to be made the subject of contention
at all, nor, it is said, the basis of a
demand for an indemnity. The destruc-
ton of the Maine simply adds one
more horror resulting from the dis
ordered conditions in Cuba. Spain, it
is declared, is either responsible for
these many horrors or is unable, by
reason of the incompetency of her
government in Cuba, to prevent them.
1t is pointed out that there is a lofty
magnanimity in this Government as
suming that the Spanish Government
is incompetent rather than criminal;
and in including the Maine disaster
with the other human consequences of
the struggle in Cuba, the best possible
escape that this Government can afford
Spain is offered.
"a republican of prominence who
has had a conference with President
Mckinley today says that the President
has made no demand upon Spain in
connection with the Maine report. He
states positively that nc such demand
will be made, and expresses the be-
lief that unless Spain commits an
overt act no exciting results will fol-
low.
can important story is told today
regarding the movements of the
Spanish torpedo flotilla. 1t is to the
effect that the Administration consid-
ers that the sailing of the fiotilla is a
political move on the part of the Sag
asia ministry to have bearing on to-
morrow's elections. Sagasta had come
to the conclusion that the conserva-
tives woul dsuffer in the elections if he
did not do something to give the ap-
pearance of a war-like move. This
would please the Spaniards, he figured,
and put a conservative majority in the
cortes without trouble. He worked the
game by starting the flotilla for Cuba y

PROPOSITION OF AMERICA.
Immediate Cessation of Hostilities
and Cuba's Independence.

Immediate Cessation of Hostilities
and Cuba's Independence.
A dispatch from Washington to the
Chronicle states: THE propositions
submitted by this country contemplate
a complete and immediate cessation of
hostilities in Cuba, the return of the
reconcentrados to their usual avoca-
tions and the independence of Cuba,
this last feature to be secured prob
ably on an indemnity basis by which
the island would pay substantial sum
for its freedom from Spanish rule.
These propositions take a wide scope
and there are many details in the alter
native propositions, the purpose being
to present every possible plan promis-
ing solution of the Cuban problem so
long as an end of the Cuban war and
Cuban independence were embodied in
the ultimate result.
1T has been made perfectly clear to
Spain that nothing less than close
of the war and the independence of the
island will suffice as an adequate set
tlement Such lessor methods as have
been contemplated from time to time
are now put aside for these more ad-
vanced and positive positions. 1t is
now for Spain to accept or reject these
tenders. Never before now has the
Spanish Government even for a mo-
ment entertained such propositions.
Now, in the stress of the present emer-
gency, with declarations of war intro
duced in the American Congress, Spain
has reluctantly consented to consider
them. This in itself has given lively

The new four-oared shell of the

time on Thursday afternoon. In the
shell were Messrs. Sorenson, Angus,
Lishman and Scott, with Arthur Giles

nounces the new shell beauty, both
in build and speed. They expect that
wonders will be done with it in the

ence of Kaio.

ShSS VI AAeAAc.
Kapea will hang alone at Oahu pris-
on this forenoon. The Council of State
has commuted the death sentence of
Kaio to Imprisonment for life at hard
labor 1t took about half an hour on
Saturday afternoon for the Council to
reach this vote. The report of the
special committee that had been ap-
pointed to go over the evidence was
given verbally at some length. After
considerable discussion of the same
tenor as that INDUCED in on Thursday
last, the motion to commute was offer
ed and was passed without negative
vote. One member said he did not care
to vote, but would go on record with
the majority if his name were required
to make the sufficient number.
Anxiety and doubt were removed at
once from the minds of the officials
who will direct the execution. They
had been waiting with with the keenest
interest, the outcome of the Councils
deliberations, as considerable differ
ence would be made in preparation. 1t
is supposed that the execution will oc-
cur about 10 a. m. Kapea is the man
who assassinated DR.. ]. X Smith on
Kauai. He is the son of Kaio, whose
life has been saved by the interven-
ton of the pardoning power. Since be-
ing in the prison, both men have en-
brased the Catholic faith, and are at
tended daily by priest. Both are in
good health and Kapea does not seem
greatly moved by knowledge of the
certainty of the doom that is before
him.

CAUSE FOR SUICIDE A MYSTERY.
Lawrence Leaves Notes Saying L
Will Never he Cleared Up.

Atlanta, Ga, March 1.-THE suicide of
Claude L. Lawrence, secretary of the Att
lanta Soda Company, last night, is mys-
terry, which, in a note found in his room
to-day, he says will go down to the grave
with him.
So far as investigation has proceed
ed. Lawrence who had full charge of the
cash of the company for which he worked,
was not short in his accounts, and his
friends are at total loss to explain his
act.
He left two letters, one to his father,
who lives at Monroe, and another to Fl. L..
English. manager of the soda company.
Neither however, throws any light upon
the cause of his suicide, only increasing
the mystery as he told both that the secret
would go down with him to the grave.
Young Lawrence was well liked and
trusted by all who knew him. No one sus-
nected that he was unhappy or that he
had any sort of cause to drive him to sui
eide until he was found in his room on
South Broad street near midnight last
nioht by his friend, Ed Venable. He was
tben unconscious, and although removed

The KIimt-Hearn COmpany's Open
ing Performance in Savannah.
The Kllmt-Hearn Company opened a
four days engagement last night. The bill
was Pawn Ticket 21O," a play made
famous by that popular little actress Lot
ia. There was an immense audience, both
parquette and gallery being filled, and
many left standing.
Pawn Ticket 21O'' is a strong play, and
it was admirably put on, The company is
well balanced, and ranks with the best
repertoire companies that have played
here to popular prices.
Uncle Harris, the owner of the three
balls" and the exacting money lender, was
strongly portrayed by George Klimt. His
makeup was very good, and his represen-
tation of the vindictive and yet relentive
spirit of the taker of pledges was typical.
Alma Hearn was Mag, Pawn Ticket

and comedy parts. She is a bright little
soubrette, as well, and her songs were well
received.
Charles Horn, as Osiah Gregg, and Hal
Davis as Charles Flash, were both good
in their respective parts. Others in the
company were J. j. Morris, Richardson
Cotton, Julian Derrick, Susie Willis, Alma
baltimore and Anna Eggleston.

weekly Mnrket Review.

There was not much doing in the cotton
market during the past week. Early
changes were very small, but following
the storm of Tuesday and Wednesday,
and the excessive rainfall throughout all
TINS section, there came little rally,
amounting to some lOd12 points. Later it
appeared that the territory injuriously
affected was not considerable enough to
cut much of a figure in the general re-
suit, and its small gain was soon lost
The market closed at a decline for the
week of about points, October, 5.52c, and
January, 5.62c. From few sections now
are any reports. received of a character
TO justify the large estimates of the crop
which have lately come into favor. In all
TINS section 1t cannot be questioned that
the prospects are much less favorable
than they were a month ago. AS to the
amount of the damage caused by the re-
cent storm and rain floods no authentic
accounts have yet been received, the ter
ritory chiefly concerned being as yet
practically isolated. The bureau report
on Sept 10 must show a decline in con-
dition, decline probably greater than
the trade expects. The position of the
market seems 10 be that cotton is too
low to sell, and the price may take a
sharp upward turn every day.
Wheat was quiet, with some show of
trmness, early in the week, but turning
quite weak later on prospects of heavy
movement and increasing stocks. De-
cember closed about 1c lower at 60ssd603tc
Although the visible supply may reason
ably be expected to increase soon, il is
yet abnormally small and farmers may
be unwilling to sell freely as anticipated
at such low prices. Therefore, the mar
ket may easily become oversod and
chances would favor an early If only tenn
porary reaction of fair proportions
Corn ruled mostly somewhat higher on
less favorable crop reports. Some late
weakness came from sympathy with
wheat, and the close shows a gam of only
small fraction, December 303sc. The
market is liable 10 sharp fiurries from

occur almost momentarily. Corn looks
very cheap
Provisions strong early, but broke sharp
