NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-A special to the Commercial Advertiser from Washington says: A stout fight is being made against the confirmation of the nomination of Attorney-G McKenna to be Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, but 1t does not appear that the opponents of the confirmation will be able to muster a majority in the Senate. By agreement reached yesterday a vote will be taken next Friday and Me Kenna's friends are confident that on the ballot he will be confirmed easily.
 The strongest opposition ~omes from Western Senators. MT. Allen of Neb- raska thus far has done almost all the talking in executive session, and while denouncing the assault on McKenna because of his religion, has based his criticism on the frequency with which MT. McKennas decisions while he was United States Circuit Judge were set aside.
 Attacks on McKenna because he happens to be a Roman Catholic cut no figure in the Senate. The only crit icism which has any weight is that brought forward by Senator Allen and other Senators who have been inform ed that on the Pacific Slope the legal

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: The report received from Consul General Lee to-day was of the most reassuring character as to the present condition of affairs, as were also the cablegrams received by Minister De Lome. But notwithstanding the pacific character of these reports, there is no denying that the authorities view the situation with more or less concern. They do not wish to do anything tending to hamper the Spanish authorities in their efforts to push their autonomous pol

cret of their determination to proceed to any length to force the resignation or recall of General Blanco.
 So far the army has remained loyal. but there is no question that discon- tent with General Blanco Is prevalent in all ranks. The fact that the Gov ernment has released all the officers concerned in the outbreak is regarded as an evidence of weakness. It is ru- mored to-day that an understanding exists between the army and the volun- teers, and the latter are planning an armed demonstration tomorrow with the intention of compelling General Blanco to take refuge on the cruiser Alfonso XII
 La Lucha yesterday published a tele- gram, censored at the palace, stating that General Lee had informed his Government that tranquility reigned in Havana I showed this to General Lee. and he said he had never sent any such telegram.
 General Lee said that, while he did not think the situation at present de- manded the presence of a warship, yet he thought 1t was so serious that he dispatched three or four telegrams daily to Washington describing the sit uation.
 General Lee is also highly indignant at telegram published in La Lucha. purporting to come from Washington, and stating that General Lee direct ly offered the services of an American warship for the protection of Spanish lives and property, and that General IoI oId 4rroc quired. This telegram General Lee de- nounced as absolutely perverted.
 What I did do," said General Lee, twas to send a message to the palace that unless they gave me assurance they were able to guarantee the lives and property of Americans here during the riots, I would cable for a warshlp. and have one here pretty quick. too"
 General Lee said he did not think the disturbances were at an end.

icy, but being doubtful of its success. the President and his department chiefs are doing everything which pru- dence dictates for a crisis if it comes.
 The protection of Americans and American interests Is the keynote of the general plan so far as interference by the United States is concerned. If war vessels are sent to Havana, the authorities all declare that it will be solely for the purpose of protecting American interests. If conditions arise showing the loss of Spain's control over Cuba, 1t is the purpose of the President to use peaceful means of intervention rather than forcible ones. An effort will be made by diplomatic negotiations to induce Spain to rant independence to the island through the means of pur- chase.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has been in consultation with Major Gen eral Miles and Acting Secretary of War Meikletohn concerning plans for unity of action by the army and navy In case of emergency.

# bs SniJ Also That His Chief Of Staff Rns Surrendered to the Spanish

HAVANA, Jan. 15.-A dispatch re- ceived from Spanish sources in Pinar del Rio says the insurgent Brigadier General Perico Delgado has been kill ed by his followers. and that his chief of staff, Louis Lopez Marlin, has sur rendered to the Spanish authorities.
 Senor Antonio Govin. the Cuban law yer. who has been appointed Minister of the Interior in the autonomous Cab inet arrived here to-day.
 Captain General Blanco has issued a circular ordering that each battalion of infantry be strengthened by 125 men, to be recruited in their respective locali- ties by the generals of divisions. These recruits will be obliged to serve six months. and will receive the same pay as the regular soldiers. The circular also orders that the local guerrillas are to double their numbers under the same conditions as when organized

qualifications of the Attorney-General were not regarded highly. It Is said that when Senator Morgan was in Cal ifornia on his way back from Hawaii a few months ago he was informed that three of the Pacific Slope Judges were opposed to MT. McKenna's con firmation and that he has laid this be- fore the Senate.
 The two California Senators are giving McKenna earnest support, al- though Senator White differs from him in politics. Senator Hoar, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, also seems to be greatly interested in hastening the vote and says the charges against Me Kennas legal fitness were quite dis proved by the investigation of his committed

and at no time numerically formidable, is beyond visible expression a protest against General Blanco's rule and the newly implanted astronomical regime, which is prevalent not only among the populace and the volunteers, but in the army itself.
 Although quiet now reigns, there is only too great reason to fear that the end has not yet come. What the Gov ernment fully realizes is that the mob, which could at any time have been dis persed by a handful of police, by no means represents the strength of the movement. This is proved by the fact that it has been deemed necessary to draft fully 6000 regulars into the city from the country. in addition to strong bodies of Guardia Civiles and Order Publicos, and that since Wednesday night Havana has been an armed camp.
 That the threatened conflict with the volunteers has been averted is due, in a great measure, to the firm attitude and diplomacy of General Parade, as- sistant captain-general ex officio, in command of the volunteers
 Throughout the disturbances the anil mating spirit of the mob has been en- thusiasm for General weyler and a de- mand for the vigorous prosecution of the war. On General Blanco and the new government the foulest abuse and the bitterest imprecations have been poured out. Officers of the volunteers
 with whom have talked make no Sc,

HAVANA, Jan. 15.-Havana to-day is at least outwardly calm, after three days of tumult and threatened conflict between the populace, backed by the suppressed sympathy of volunteers, and Governor General Blanco. At no time during these trying days has there been any indication of immediate danger to the lives of Americans. AL though l have been present at every collision between the troops and the people, have not heard a single anti American outcry.
 While the disorder has been persist ent, the rioting has not been of a very violent type, as evidenced by the fact that no lives have been lost and but few persons wounded, and the destruc- ton of property has been triflng. It is true that the significance of the sit- uation lies in the fact that the violence of the mob, unarmed as it has been,

PREPARING FOR LARGE ORDERS
Likely That Tredegar Company VIII
Make Changes TO Eli These.

The deed of trust that was recorded In
| the Chancery Court last week. providing
| for a new issue Of bonds by the Tredegar
Iron Company, has a far wider signifi-
canoe than is generally supposed.
It's purpose is to retire $4,000 Of the OLD
bonds, and to provide 100000 working
capital. The company expects to secure
some large contracts from the govern
ment and some changes in the buildings
and plant are under contemplation. The
new bonds are payable thirty years after
date, and bear 6 per cent. interest, paya-
Die in two instalments-in April and Oc-
tober each year. The original bonds were
ssued October q, 1873. That issue was 81
zoo. 900. On February II, 1875. 500 600 OF the
bonds were cancelled Since that time
100000 Of the bonds have been retired.
though none of them matured until Octo-
her 1, 1922 The record is an undeniably
good one and the present issue will I'M
doubtedly lead TO further successes.
