United States Consul Forced to Seek Refuge
in a Foreign Ship.

The Norwegian steamer Herman
Wedel Jarisberg arrived at New York
Tuesday afternoon from Matanzas,
bringing 13 passengers, who fled from
that port to evade the Spanish mob.
The passengers were United States
Consul Brice and his staff and their
families. Consul Brice said that for
three days before leaving Matanzas the
people threatened his life. and at all
times his property was in danger. His
secretary was obliged to flee for his life,
as the mob threatened to drag him
through the streets. During this three
days the consul stuck manfully at his
post. distributing supplies TO the starv-
ing reconcentrados and relieving their
necessities. At p. m. of the Sth inst,
he got notice from Havana to with
draw from his post. The Jarisberg was
the only steamer In port, and Capt.
Kjerland agreed to take the consul and
his party to New York. The consul
left all his baggage, and none Of the
party was able to bring away any of
their effects. The consul says that the
condition OF the people Is terrible, and
that the authorities are making no eff
fort to supply their wants.

CUBAN WAR MUST CEASE.
Senate Committee Makes Its Report on the
Maine

Following is the opinion of the senate
committee on foreign affairs in regard
to the Maine disaster:
1t is the opinion of your committee,
having considered the testimony sub
mitted to the board of inquiry In con-
nection with further testimony taken
by the committee. and with the relev-
ant and established facts presented by
the events of the last three years, that
the destruction of the Maine was COM
passed either by the official act OF the
Spanish authorities or was made pos
sible by a negligence on their part so
willing and gross as to be equivalent in
culpability to positive action.
The report closes as follows:
II. under all the circumstances, Spain
shall choose to regard such action by
this government as cause of war, that
consequence, however deplorable. will
be accepted by the American people
with all the fortitude that confidence in
the justice of their act can inspire.
1t Is the opinion Of this committee
that the time to interpose has arrived
that Intervention which will stop the
war and secure the national indepen-
dence of Cuba should at once take
place.

OUR ARMY MOVES nearer 70 CUBA.
WARLIKE STEP.
-Four Great Ocean Steamers Also Addod to
the Navy as Auxiliary Cruisers.
A Powerful Fleot

Decidedly the most wariilke steps
taken by the department In preparing
for the possibility of an encounter with
Spain was inaugurated Saturday. when
orders were Issued for the concentra-
Ion at four points In the South of six
regiments OF cavalry. twenty-five regi-
ments of infantry and the light bat
teries of five regiments of artillery. AT
Chicamaugua there will be six regi-
ments of artillery; at New orleans
eight regiments OF infantry; at Tampa,
seven regiments of infantry, and at
Mobile, seven regiments of Infantry.
Since the civil war no such proportion
Of the army has been mobilized and the
movement itself is the best evidence of
the gravity OF the situation az looked
upon by the president and his advisors.
The determination to rendezvous the
troops In the South, whore they can be
acclimated to the conditions of n more
tropical climate, has been under CON
sideration by the president and his
cabinet for some time. 1t was not until
Saturday, however, that the president,
In view of the enormous expense which
will be entailed felt justified In taking
this step.
Several important and decisive steps
in the work of war preparation were
taken by the navy department last
week. 1t was decided to assign the
naval reserves of New York. New Jer-
sey, Massachusetts,, Maryland aud
Michigan to the five auxiliary cruisers,
hereafter to be known as patrol boats.
These ships are the Prairie, the Dixie.
the Yankee. the Yosemite and either
the Venezuela or Yorktown, the latter
of which was purchased Saturday.
The question of the American line
steamers was also wound up last week
with the decision to charter all four OF
them. the st. Louis, the st. Paul. the
Paris and the New York. The two first
mentioned have already been acquired
by the department. though the form of
acquisition was tentative. the depart
ment being undecided whether II would
purchase these two only or charter all
four. with the announcement that
these magnificent ships had been added
to the auxiliary fleet, came the state
ment that the department also had
purchased the Yorktown of the Old
Dominion line, and the Yumuri OF the
Ward line. With these additions the
fleet of converted vessels now includes
the pick of the ocean liners and coast
ing steamers running under the Ameri-
can flag. AS, in all such instances, the
prices paid are withheld by the depart
ment.
But of greater moment than any of
these developments was the reopening
of negotiations for the purchase of two
warships and several torpedo boats
from Chill and Argentina. One OF the
cruisers Is the Chilian O'Higgins, just
completed at an English yard, and re-
garded as one of the most formidable
of her class afioat
