No Communication Between this
 Country and the Island
THE BRITISH GO-BETWEEN
Furnishes News in a Round
 About Way From Havana
The Associated Pressin the Absence of Other Sources of Information has Made Arrangements to Cover all Important Points in Cuba.

Washington, April 17-Inquiry at the state department discloses the fact that the United States has no repre- sentatives in Cuba upon whom it can depend for official information in re- gard to the progress of events on that island, and that it will be compelled to mainly rely, until other arrange ments are made, upon the represent atives of the Spanish government for information in that line.
 According to an official at the depart. ment, the British consular officers in Cuba are only expected to care for the archives and property of the United States consulates turned over to them on the departure of the American rep resentatives a week ago, and to look after the interest of Americans still on the island who may apply to them for protection or redress. It is said to be no part of their duty to keep the United States department informed of political or ether developments in Cuba, and that the department will not call upon them for any special service or information unless it be- comes absolutely necessary by stress of circumstances.
 It is more than probable, however, that if anything important should hap ! pen in which the United States has a direct interest that the British consular | officers might consider it an act of 1 friendship or conity to bring it to the
 attention of the secretary of state either through the London foreign of flee or the British ambassador at Wash 1 ington. This roundabout way of get
 ting information, involving as it would l considerable delay, might prove em- barrassing if the nature of the circum-
 stances was such as to require prompt
 action. Notwithstanding this apparent
 lack of facilities for obtaining official
 information of affairs on the island
 the officials of the administration ex- press confidence in their ability tc I keep properly informed of the course
 of events ln Cuba.
 Although nearly all the special news
 paper correspondents left the island
 coincident with the departure of Con-
 ul-General Lee, the Associated Pres:
 has made maple arrangements to- cover
 all important points of possible oD-
 erations as thoroughly as in the past
 and consequently there will be no lack
 of news dispatches from Cuba for some time to come.

The Naval Fleet and the Army ia Evi-
 dence

Key West, April 1.-The arrival of Companies A and G of the Twenty fifth infantry aroused Key West from tropical lethargy, and this Sunday has been marked by an unwonted stir. The fleet in the harbor and the mili- tary on land gives this lazy little town a warlike aspect. There was no movement of the fleet today.

THE LINE CRUISERS
To Be Held, at Newport News to
 Transport Troops.

Washington, April 1.-The disposi- ton that will be made of the four large auxiliary cruisers now being prepared for service with the navy has not been definitely determined upon, but if the recommendations of the strategy board are followed they will be held north for the purpose of transporting troops to Cuba should it become neces- sary to land a large military force on the island. Each ship can carry 1000 men, and their high speed and protec- tion would make them better adapted could obtain from the merchant ser vice. The original proposition to have these vessels form a separate division of the fleet at Key West, together with two of the yachts and several of the larger ocean-going tugs, has been abandoned, and when they are con- pleted at Newport News all will prob ably be assigned to Commodore Schley's command. The batteries have been decided upon. Five-inch in- stead of 6-inch Tapid-fire rifles will be placed on each. The second battery will be machine guns and 6-pounders. The 6-inch guns will be required for larger vessels that may be bought if hostilities actually begin, and there is, besides, larger supp1y of the lighter guns on hand than of the heavier cal iber.
 Engineering officers for the four ves- l sells have been selected, and their or. ders will be issued with instruct :ons to report at Newport News. The rank ! ing engineer officers will be regular engineers of the navy, and the assist ants will be naval cadets and actins
 engineers, to be appointed later Two
 naval cadets of the final graduating class and chief engineer or passed as
 sistant will comprise the engineer
 force, with those that are to be taker
 from the merchant service. The cadet. | will be sent from Annapolis immedi ately on completing their final exam
 nations this month.

TO PROTECT VOLUNTEERS.
Bill Prepared to Exempt Michigan
 Soldiers From Levy.

Lansing. Mich, April 17.-A bill has been prepared to protect Michigan citizens who may be called upon to serve their country in case of war with Spain. It provides that the prop erty of such citizens shall be exemp- from levy of any nature for debts con- tracted before leaving the state.
 This exemption is to continue for six months after the close of the war The bill also provides that no advan- tage shall be taken of any such citizen who may be a party to a suit at law already commenced during his absence from the state. The senate may amend the war loan bill passed by the house Saturday by exempting the bonds to be issued from taxation.

MINOR BUSINESS.
THE SENATE WILL WAIT.
Not Inclined for Business Until the
 House Acts.

Washington, April 17.-The major ity of the senate will give very little attention to any other subject until the Cuban question is finally disposed of in congress. That body having acted upon resolutions of independence and intervention, the question is net now properly before it, but this is of such intense interest that senators w1ll continue to give it their individual at tention till adjustment with the house is secured. Supporters of the senate form of expression are hopeful that public sentiment will compel the house tc accept the senate declaration, but they know that the influential conservative element is against them and they realize that they may be dis appointed in the action of the house In that event they are prepared to stand out against surrender on the part of the senate How long this de termination will stand remains to be developed.
 Aside from the Cuban question, the senate probably will devote itsel1 largely during the week to appropria- tion bills. The sundry civil bill Ina: been only partially considered, and tht naval bill is on the calendar awaiting action

HAVE GIVEN UP.
The Great Powers Relinquish the Ides
 of Peace.

Washington, April 17.-At the em- bassies of the great powers the un- usual activity of the last three weeks was noticeably relaxed, as it has now come to be accepted in these quarters that there will be no action, cer- tainly none of a radical character to- ward mediation or intervention be- tween Spain and the United States.
Arizona republican., 1898-04-18

Washington, April 1.-The difficult task of adjusting the differences be- tween the senate and house on the Gu ban resolutions has begun. The rock on which the two houses split is the recognition of the independence Of the Cuban republic, which was incorpo- rated in the senate resolution. Were tha tclause eliminated nothing would have prevented the immediate concur renee by the house, as great major ity of representatives of the lower branch of congress are eager for a conclusion, but the action of the sen- ate declaring for the recognition Of Cuban independence against the direct and specific recommendation of the president has given the conservatives a rallying cry from the standpoint of party loyalty which proved very ef- fective.
 BLOW AT THE PRESIDENT.
 One of the most prominent republi- can leaders on the floor of the house denounced that portion of the sen ate resolution as direct assault" upon the president, which no loyal re- publican could endorse, and upon this theory Speaker Reed and his lieuten- ants have been proceeding today in their campaign against concurrence in the senate resolutions.
 All day long the speakers rooms at the Shoreham have been like the head quarters of the commander-in-chief of an army. He has consulted with his Iieutenants, Messrs. Dingley of Maine, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Cannon of H. linois, Grosvenor of Ohio, and Paine of New York He has seen Joy of Mis- souri, Lorimer of Illinois, Heatwole of Minnesota, and other leaders of the republican opposition, and through other agencies has had a thorough canvass HdQ0 OI tue T6puUllCdu Siuc of the house. Tonight he is confident that the republicans of the house can be marshalled against yielding to the senate on the main issue.
 PROSPECT OF DELAY.
 The chief complaint of those who want to concur is that non-concurrence means delay, complications, possibly a reopening of diplomatic negotiations and possibly further concessions by Spain which will embarrass the United States when the time for action ar. rives
 The members have been labored re- peatedly with, arguments against rec ognition have been reiterated and re- inforced. Especially have arguments been advanced by Senators Allison and Morgan that if we recognize the in. dependence of the existing govern.
