Lee Ready to Leave.

Washington, April S.-The expectn-
'ion of the Stale Department officials is
that Consul General Lee will be out
OF Havana before another sun sets In
that city. This statement IL based on
the opinion Of Assistant Secretary Day,
who said this afternoon that the con-
sui general would leave his post Of duty
probably tomorrow on the Olivette.
BY Sunday. at the very latest. 1t Ia
now believed, all the consular officers
OF the United States in Cuba, and all
American citizens who desire to do SO,
will have left the cities where they are
located. and be either where they are
located, and be either in the United
States or aboard vessels bound thither.
The effects Of the consulntes. consist
Ing Of unimportant papers, furniture,
ETC.. will be placed under the charge
Of the consulat representatives of the
British government now on the island,
where they will be kept pending the
developments OF the issues between
Spain and the United States.

Washington. April 9.-Deputy Treas
urer Benjamin Guerra OF the Cuban re-
public WIS before the Senate commit
tee on foreign relations to-day. He
said that only about 100000 of Cuban
bonds had been sold. and that the
bonds were not on the market at all
for general sale. Those sold had been
disposed Of by about an average OF
forty cents on the dollar. He said the
expenses OF the Cuban army were very
light, but that what expenses there
were were paid by private subscrip-
tions and by returns from the taxation
OF the property In the portion OF the
island controlled by the insurgents.
Not less than $4OO. 600. he said. had
been collected by taxation. The insur-
gent army generally secured its sup
plies from the country. All the SOL
dlers, both officers and men. were serv-
Ing without compensation.
Mr.. Guerra was asked about the
Spanish Cuban bonds issued against
the revenues of the island. He re-
piled thnt he did not know their
amount, which report placed at $780,
100000. but that they were the ac-
cumulation OF years OF deficits. Many
Of them had. he said, been issued to
pay the cost OF putting down the rebel
lion In Cuba.

Madrid, April s.-General Woodford
has sent a cable message to Washing
ton setting forth that the publication
of his statement yesterday has done
good in Madrid and will do good
throughout Spain. but the end Is still
very doubtful. The general is work
ing from q sense Of duty. rather than
with strong faith in success. The ba-
sis Of what hope is left rests upon the
evident fact that the sober sense Of
Spain is slowly coming to the front
and that in a few days III a few days
can still be had) we will see a ''crys-
tallixafiOn Of public sentiment that
will sustain the present Spanish gov
ernment II II has the courage to do at
once the things that are necessary for
peace"
A dispatch from Washington just re-
ceived says no negotiations have been
initiated there and that none will be
undertaken abroad, except through
General woodford, who is instructed
to negotiate only on the basis Of the
note presented nt the recent confer
ence. namely, for the immediate ces-
safi0n OF ho2tilities and furnishing Of
Aid to the reconcentradoes.
With reference to the above, Senor
Sagasta says the Spanish government
has no intention Of opening further
negotiations.

IDENTIFY discusscd among individuals
and came up for. debate In both
houses. senator Morgan of Alabama
said he was ready to vote for declar.
alton OF wnr. In discussing an amend
ment to the sundry civil bill. In the
House significant declaration was
that Of General Grosvenor, who de.
clared he believed war was Inevitable.
In fact the speeches made by General
Grosvenor in answer to charges
against the administration by Mr..
Lentz OF Ohio was an important con-
tribution to the news OF the day.
The Importance OF General Lees tel
egrams was considered by members
not to have been over estimated. and
the impression that the President was
amply justified In withholding his mes
sage became n conviction. This fact
was emphasized by the adjournment
until Monday OF both houses.
The opinion In the Senate and House
is that war must come. Even the
most optimistic OF the conservative
senators have given up hope Of a
peaceful settlement
great deal of consideration was
given by senator's and representatives
to form OF action. On this point
there Is a wide divergence Of opinion.
but 1t has assumed two distinct posi-
tions. One is the recognition of inde-
pendence OF the island. coupled with
armed Intervention to drive ont the
Spaniards, and the other. armed inter
vention with declaration that Cuba
shall be free.
The desire on the part of those favor
Ing the latter plan being not to recog-
niZe the insurgents and their govern
ment or any government until after
the United States has control Of the
island. The latter plan In said to be
that OF the President, and efforts are
being made to have II adopted, 80
there will be no division between the
executive and legislative branches OF
the government.
Fear is expressed that there may be
long debate In the Senate II some
compromise Is not agreed upon before
the committee on foreign relations
makes Its report.

They Do Not Think That spsin's Armiatice
Amounts to Anything.

Washington, April 11.-WhIle the
House. as n body. has no faith In the
proposed nrmistice as Offering any fu-
ture hope for Cuba's freedom, quite a
number Of congressman still do not
want radical action and It IL said most
Of the senators will endeavor to follow
the Presidents latest lead.
Some of the senator's met Inst night
mt Senator Allison's house and decided
to report resolution as follows:
THAT the President be, and IL hereby
empowered to take such action as will
bring to an imn:ediate termination the
hostilities In Cuba and to establish a
stable government by nf1i for the peo-
pie OF that island. and he IL authorized
and directed to employ the land and
naval forces Of the United States to
bring about that result"

says the Republicans will not delay.

dence, and will follow the President,

War.
Chicago, April T.-The Times Herald
Will tomorrow say. through Walter
Wellman, its Washington correspon-
dent:
To-day the skies are clear In Wash.
ington and dark. ominous cloud
hangs over Madrid. The United States
and Spain are n dny nearer war.
There Is only one way in which hos
tilities can bc averted, and that Is by
surrender on the part Of Spain.
Reports from Madrid are that the
Spanish Queen and Cabinet have taken
their final stand fo-day-they will not
give up Cuba. But under the infiu-
ence of the European powers they may
change their minds.
A naval and military demonstration
upon Cuba next week will probably
give Spain brief warning OF what Is
to come before the blow falls. and at
the last minute, while our fleets are
lined up In ominous array before Ha-
vana, Madrid may succumb to the in
evitable.
The message which the President Ii
to send In Monday hns not been
changed In any essential particular
since II. was completed last Tuesday.
The only clanges made are Of phrase
ology. and all In the direction Of more
vigorous purpose. 1t Is known to ev-
eryOne In Washington that President
Mckinley is tired Of Spain's palterlng
tricks and insincere treatment Of this
countrys earnest proposals.
In his message of Monday the Prcsi-
dent will recommend Congress to au-
thOrize Intervention with declaration
that Cuba is and by rights should be
free. Congress will speedily respond
to his wishes. Swiftly following this
solemn act of the American govern
ment the executive will mass troops
along the seaboard, ready to start for
Cuba. Our fleets will sail for Porto
Rico and for Havana.
