PRESSURE ON
THE PRESIDENT
Senators Confer With Him And
Urge Prompt Action
MESSAGE FOR TOMORROW

Washingt on, March 3O-Soor
after 9 O'Clock this morning con.
ference of the utmost significance
for the United States and Spain
began at the White House. A
dozen of the most prominent SEN
ators visited the President after
holding conference among them
selves to determine upon def
mite proposition to lay before the
executive. The White House
conference was in reality council
to determine whether peace or war
Shall be the immediate policy of
the government.
The details are unknown. but
the object of the senators was un-
doubtedly to impress upon the
President the stern necessity of
taking Immediate action of a more
vigorous kind.
1t he did not do this, so the SEN
ators told him, Congress would
break all bonds and the result
would be declaration of war by
the two houses.
Thirty-six Republicans and
nearly all the Democratic members
OF the House are for immediate |
action on the Cuban question but
the feeling is that delay may con
tlnue for two or three days. The
President nus pronIIaou u rrros,,aso

sent to wait for it.

CONGRESS DEMANDS ACTION

Washington, March 80 - Not
since the beginning of the Span
ish-American crisis has the tension
been so great as today. Congress
is in open revolt.
Even Speaker Reed admits the
necessity of conciliatingthe House
mem bers and admits that on the
Spanlsh-American question they
are beyond his control.
The Democrats, led by Congress
man Bailey, seem to be doing all
they can to bring about a rupture
between the President and the
Republicans.
The explanation of the Presi-
dent is that the armistice plan is
preliminary to bringing about the
Independence of Cuba by pur-
chase. The plan is only partially
satisfactory. A majority of the
members of the House and Senate
refuse to believe that it is any
thing but another plan to delay
action and that at the end of the
armistice the Spanish will renew
hostilities.
! Excitement has been materially
increased by receipt of the news
hat a fleet of the most powerful
Iessels in the Spanish navy left
he Canary Islands. The belief is
general that the feet will come
lirect to the Western hemisphere.

HELD UP A VICTOR SALOON
Robbers Got Away With the
Gambling Roll and Loose Cash

Victor, March 30-The Arcade
saloon here was held up about
1920 this morning by two masked
men, who carried off the bank
roll from the faro table.
The dealer and players were
lined up with their hands above
their heads. One robber got from
the faro table drawer S'4O0 in bills
and $l10 in silver, besides small
sums from the players.
1t all occurred in less than one
minute and the robbers backed
through rear door and made good
their escape.

row. H. G. Woodwork, a Denver
banker is here today.
The presence and meeting here
OF these men tomorrow may mean
much to Florence. They will in
spect various sites appropriate for
ore reduction works, and it is quite
probable that they will locate such
mill here.
Messrs. Enrichtand Hirsch gave
bond today in $4,000. Their
cites were e. l.. Gumaer and FL. G
Woodworth. Mrs. Hirsch and Mr..
Enricht's sister will accompany
them to Florence.
In response to the inquiries of a
tribune reporter today A. r. Gu
maer admitted that he had been
instrumental in obtaining bonds
Tor Eiirlcht and Hirsch. He had
done so, he said, because he be-
iieved them to be absolutely inno-
enterprises Of such a nature as was
contemplated by the Canon cleo
trio railway promoters. Il think
that it is factional fight gotten
up for the purpose of diverting the
ultimate benefits of the enterprise
from the original promoters con-
tinued Mr.. Gumaer. "The proper
thing for the Canon people to do
would be to stop these law pro-
ceedings and go ahead with their
plans, which are of much import
ance to Fremont county. Every
one in the county would be glad
to see the road completed and it
would undoubtedly result in the
extension Of an electric line to
Florence, making complete loop
to the gold camps"
Mr.. Gumaer said that he was not
yet able to go into details, but he
admitted that if a new mill should
be put up here by the capitalists
who had favored a mill on the line
of the Canon road, the present fa.
cilities of the Florence and Cripple
Greek railroad would be ample tc
supply it with ore.

ALL THE INJURED
ARE DOING WELL
Victims of Yesterdays Explosion
Not Seriously Hurt
INCIDENTS OF THE WRECK

Numbers of people went up te
Robinson avenue this morning tc
look at the ruins of the wrecked
half of the Miller terrace. ANA.
teur photographers were taking
views OF the wreck from every pos
sible vantage point. Expressions
OF amazement at the escape from
death or permanent injury of the
occupants of the Roseberry house
were heard on every hand.
There is comparatively little to
add to the story of the explosion
told in the Tribune last evening.
Inc facts were essentially correct.
The only modification of import
ance is that HI. Fl. Preston was not
so much hurt as was supposed.
HIS appearance when taken from
the ruins led to the assertion that
ne was seriously injured. Subse-
quent examination proved that his
eyesight is in no danger and that
he will probably recover from his
burns in short time.
DIR. Roseberry's face is exces-
sively swollen and he is probably
dis6gured to some extent but his
eyes are not affected. Mrs. Rose
berry suffered considerably from
one eye but it is not thnnpht thni
hair was only singed~ and not
burned off. The hands of both
were burned and the entire family
is suffering today from soreness
and bruises.
Some of the portions Of the walls
and roof that were left standing or
suspended after the explosion have
since fallen.
Half dozen volunteers did most
efficient work yesterday evening
in searching and removing from
the ruins the furniture and other
property. Legs had been blown
off chairs and bedsteads and nearly
all the china and glassware was
shattered but there were several
things scarcely damaged at all.
The plate glass mirror of bureau
was not even cracked.
w. j. Daniels rendered most
efficient aid in this work. He had
all the furniture moved to his base
ment. Marshal Squyres, Constable
A. Harris and Mr.. Daniels all
worked hard in the ruins despite
the danger from the tottering walls
and all three deserve hearty com
mendation for their efforts.
"Beppo," the Roseberry'sspottee
terrier, was a sufferer by the ex
plosion. At first it was supposed
that he had been buried beneath
the debris but it was found tina
he had run straight to their OLE
residence on Pixies Peak avenue
He was singed all over and hi
, eyes are swollen and closed. H
may lose the sight of one of them
DIR. Roseberry's horse with tn
buggy, was standing in front o
the house at the time of the eX
plosion. He ran few yards ant
turned around and gazed on tn
ruins. He remained inspectin
the scene until w. Ell. Davie too
