Senator Daniel, of Virginia, has

associates. He possesses that indefi
nable assemblage of qualities, physi-
cal and mental, bearing, manner,
voice, gesture, habit o. thought and
expression, that constitute what is
popularity known as Oratory. Very
many men are convincing and pow
erful public speakers without being
orators, bat Daniel is both He re
sembles Bryan in stature and visage,
and excels him as platform speaker
and political speaker "-Ex Senator
John j. Ingalls,, in New York Jour
nal.
The Washington Post gives tho
following report of the peroration
of Senator Daniels speech of Friday.
Senator Daniel maintained that
the recognition of the Cuban repub-
lie would solve all the financial
difficulties and liabilities that in any
other event might arise. He belle
we'd that there was a responsibility
resting upon this country to pre-
clude any possible danger of the
United States becoming liable for
either Spanish or Cuban bonds He
concluded his speech with brilliant
and eloquent peroration, in which he
apostrophized the cause of the
Cuban people in their struggle for
freedom and liberty
"What cause is it," lie said THAT

population CT Cuba stands fors 1t
is for cause well known in English
history. 1t is cause which has
made the most glorious character
and evolved the most glorious prin
ciples of Anglo Saxon freedom aud

which the brave English people, tied
to the traditions OF monarchy and
loving their sovereign, followed the
IrOnsides of Cromwell. drove out the
Parliament, and laid the head of

handing that the government of

Madrid, April I6.-7 p.m.-The
week closes with unreheved tension,
all awaiting action at Washington.
United States Minister Woodford
is still working for peace, and is
still hopeful of securing it. Impor-
tant negotiations were held today.
1t is learned that if the United
States Congress finally agrees on n
resolution similar to that passed by
the House of Representatives., Senor
Polo y Rernabe, the Spanish minis
ter at Washington will not be re
called and General Woodford. con.
sequently, will remain in Madrid.
Furthermore. it is not unlikely. i'm
the event of resolution on those
lines passing, that the friendly Off.
ces OF the United States will be
invoked to assist in tho restoration
OF permanent peace in Cuba.
Another important factor in the
situation, which also tends towards
peace, is the official news that a
conference has been arrang nged for
tomorrow between General Maxine
Gomez and two Spanish generals in
Cuba.
10 p. m.--This evening demon
strations were made in several of tho
provincial capitols. The American
shield has been replacedat theAmari
can consulate in Malaga amid tn:
tumultuous protest of the crowd.
A force of gendarms continue To
patrol the streets.
a Cabinet couucil lasting three
hours approved the conversion into
warships OF the steamers of the
Campania Trans Atlantica, and then
discussed the state OF Spain's for.
