Call Office, Riggs House.


 Comparatiyely little business was transacted by the Senate to-day, all of the Senators being fatigued on account of their long vigil last night over the Cuban resolutions. Consideration or the sundry civil appropriation bill was re- sumed and the wide latitude Of deoate permitted under the rules of the Sen ate afforded opportunity for some ex- plantations to be made concerning the action of the Senate on the Cuban question.
 MT. CockreI of Missouri and MT. Ba- con of Georgia explained their action in voting against the conference report in the early hours of the Senate ana the colloQuies that ensued between them and some of the Republican Sen ators were spicy and interesting. A running fire of debate was precipltateo, which was participated in by MT. Man tie of Montana, MT. Cannon of Utah, MT. Hale of Maine, MT. Spooner of Wisconsin and others, the discussion lasting about three hours.
 At the opening of the session the ex- citing and momentous scenes of the past week had given way to dull and somber routine. Attendance on the floor and in the galleries was small. At 1927 p. m. a message was received from the House of Representatives an- nouncing the signature of the Speaker to the Cuban resolutions. Eight min utes afterward the Vice-President an- nounced his signature to the Cuban res olutionS.
 In accordance with his announcement made yesterday that he proposed to insist upon the independence of the Cuban republic, Mr Allen of Nebraska of fn11 ir1C rnCnlnfinVl was referred to the Committee on For eign Relations:
 That the republic of Cuba, the capitol of which is located at Cubitas, Is hereby recognized by the United States of Ameri- ca as the lawful Government of the Island hereby pledges to said republic it's friendly offices in the adjournment of its financial affairs with the kingdom of Spain or the holders of Spanish bonds or indebtedness issued against or made chargeable to Cuba; that, so far as the influence of the United States may prop republic shall not, be charged with the bonded or other indebtedness of Spain, contracted during or prior to hostilities with the respective Governments of Spain and Cuba.
 MT. Stewart of Nevada said the res- olution reminded him of the very an- cient and very sapient scheme of lock- ing the door after the horse is stolen.
 MT. Allen declared that he was quite satisfied that under the present ar engagement the island of Cuba would pass into the hands of financial cor morants and financial buZzards," un- less the United States should at once take measures to protect the island and it's people.
 The Senate then resumed considera- tion of the sundry civil bill, and at 5:05 adjourned.

" ALKER MAY
 ASSIST LONG Rear Admiral Likely to Become ROosevelt's
 Successor.
The Assistant Secretary of the Navy Still Insists Upon
 Resigning.
Believes His Duty to the Departraen, Ends When Preparations Are
 Complete
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, April 19.-A Washing ton special to the Herald says: Rear Admiral John G. Walker, retired, may be the successor of Theodore Roosevelt as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Notwithstanding the pressure exerted upon MT. Roosevelt by the President and his friends understand he has not Wavered in his determination to resign ms of1ce upon the outbreak of war and seek active service in the army. Know ing that 1t is MT. Roosevelt's purpose to tender his resignation there has been some talk in official circles as to the man to be selected as his successor.
 AS far as MT. Roosevelt Is concerned he feels the work of a civilian in the office he holds ends with the comple- tion Of preparations and the duty of the incumbent will then be more In the nature of an advisory character, which can best be performed by naval officers While it is true that Rear Admiral Montgomery Sicard is on duty as naval adviser to the Secretary there Is much for the Assistant Secretary to do and 1t is believed that a naval officer should be the one to do it. It is also pointed out to-day that it would be most injurious to the naval service to appoint as successor to MT. Roosevelt an inexperienced civilian and that, fur thermore, President Lincoln, during the rebellion, appreciated the necessity of having a naval man as Assistant Sec retary, as was shown by his action in appointing Gustavus A. Fox, formerly of the navy, to this office.

CongreSS Has Done It's Part in Securing the
 Freedom of Cuba.
1t Remains Now for the President to Send His U1tirnatum to Spain and Finish the Job
 With Arms.
Call Office, Riggs House,

WaSnlnStOn, Apr1l IS. The House presented most desolata appearance when it convened at noon after the weary all-night session.
 While the journal vas being read MT. Hager (R.) of Iowa, chairman of the Committee on Enrolled Bills, brought in the Cuban resolutions which had been enrolled under his personal direc- tion. The Speaker immediately signed them, and as soon as the reading of the journal was completed at 12:16 p. m. he announced his signature.
 There was no demonstration. The enrolling clerk at his side seized the resolutions and hurried with them across to the Senate chamber. MT. Grosvenor then, as a question of per sonal privilege, had read at the clerks desk an editorial in New York pa per commenting on his statement in the House on April ', that this war would be fought under the banner of the Re- publican administration of this Gov ernment or it would not be fought at all MT. Grosvenor explained the cir- cumstances under which the statement was made. He had been delighted with the record the Democratic party had made and in the statement he only meant that as the present administra- t1on had three years to run the war which was on us must be fought dur ing its life or not at all. He had meant no reflection and had appealed to both sides of the House to stand by the executive who had been assaulted.
 Tn this connecticut concluded MT. Grosvenor, q desire to say I believe this war will be energetically waged, both in military sense and in the manner necessary to carry it on, and l believe the response to the call to arms will be unanimous. There will be no political divisions The army will come from Democrats and Popu- lists as well as Republicans, and es- pecially do believe the response to the call will come from every Southerner and the whole Union will share the triumphant echo of loyalty" (Great ap- plause).
 MT. Dingley said in view of the fact that the House had been sitting all night and that the members were weary he would move to adjourn. Ac- cordingly at 12:32 D. m. the House ad- journed.

CUBANS WILL
 AID AMERICA
Island Army at the Dis posal of the United
 States.
Special Dispatch to The Call

NEW YORK, April 19.-The follow ing statement on the Congressional Cu- ban resolutions was given out to-day at the office of the Cuban Junta:
 'The resolutions, as they stand, are tantamount to the recognition of the Cuban republic. The declaration is that the people of Cuba are free and inde- pendent, while the Cuban people &C., knowledge allegiance only to the re- public of Cuba, which they have estab- lished and maintained by the force of arms. The only object of the insur- rection was the independence of the Cubans. This is provided for by the resolutions. The Cubans asked that before intervention there be recogni- tion of independence. This was also provided for by the resolutions Their desire to run their own Government free from coercion is provided for by the fourth paragraph of the resolu- tion.
 Under these circumstances the de- mand made by the United States, that Spain at once evacuate the island, and the threat that, in the event of her re- fusal, the land and naval forces of the United States will be used to compel evacuation, certainly merits the deep est gratitude on the part of the Gu bans. Should force be necessary on the part of the United States there will be the most complete cooperation by the Cuban Government and it's army Coast pilots and practiced pilots will be placed immediately at the service of the United States, and in every way will the Cubans aid in expelling the common enemy. To the patriotism of the American people and the American press the Cubans owe debt of grat- itude, and for the confidence which the American people have in them they hope to prove their worthiness.
 'The steadfastness with which they have purused their ideal for independ- ence and the organization which they have shown in their fight against Spain, are sufficient proof that they will be able to maintain their independ- ence, and that peace will be their only object for the future"

ONE INSURCENT
 IS FOR PEACE
The Rebel Governor of Matanzas Orders Hos-
 tilities Suspended.
Copyrighted, ,sss by James Gordon Bennett

Copyrighted, 1S9s by James Gordon Bennett
 HAVANA, April 19.-I received infor- nation to-day from Matanzas that the insurgent government of that province at the head of which is Pedro Betan- court, chief of all the insurgents there has issued a circular suspending hos. tilities throughout the territory under his command.
 A popular demonstration took place last night. All classes took part in il and order reigned A printed leaf was circulated calling upon the Spanish people to shut the doors of their estab- lishments and to show their patriotism by taking part in the demonstration. A procession started from the Spanish Casino and went through several streets to General Molinas' house. Its only purpose was to make a downright pro- test against the action of the United States Congress.
 The American steamer Saratoga ar- rived this morning with only one pas senger. The City of Washington sailed this afternoon.
 The insurgents to-day attacked the iaborers on the Santa Rita sugar plan clothing and made prisoners of two of the workmen, whom they afterward set free. The captives had been wounded.
 Another band of insurgents shot some men in the town of Las Villas and took away sweet potatoes and other ar ticles of food from the Cultivation Zone. They also took tw teams of oxen, stripped two workmen of their clothing and made one prisoner.
 The garrisons in the Snanish fortifi- cations fired at the rebels. The insur- gents also attacked Sierra. being driven away by the garrison. Several hundred Cubans are encamped at Acea.

ANNOYED BY
 SILLY RUMORS
Administration Has No Intention of Seizinq
 Hawaii.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Office, Riggs House,

WaShlngtOn, Apr1l 1S.
 The Call correspondent to-day re- ceived from a Cabinet officer an ac- knowledgment that the administration had no intention and never had enter tained a thought of raising the Ameri- can flag over the Hawaiian Islands in case of war with Spain.
 Why should we do such thfng?" asked he. The islands might be of some strategic value, perhaps, as a coaling station, but we are not highway robbers.
 'The absurdity of the story tele- graphed from Washington some time ago to the effect that the islands would be seized is at once apparent to any in- telligent person who read the Presi- dents message, and if you will care fully read the resolutions adopted by Congress yesterday and which will re- ceive the Presidents approval, you will observe that an amendment was added to the original resolution reported by the Foreign Relations Committee, com monly known as the Davis resolutions, wherein any intention of exercising sovereignty over Cuba Is expressly dis claimed. You ask What has this to do With Hawaii" and l answer the United States Of America is anxious to appear well in the eyes of the civilized world. We want to dispel any notion that may be abroad that a selfish and ulterior purpose is the reason for our inter Vention in Cuban affairs. We are anxious to show the world and the great European powers in particular that the acquisition of additional terr1- tory IS not our object.
 How foolish it would be then for us to seize the Hawaiian Islands. This would put us in the attitude of high way robber and create the impression abroad that in our quest for additional territory. however remote from our shores, we were willing to despoil the Hawaiian republic and were anxious to pick quarrel with Spain In order that the annexation of Cuba might result.
 Please state to The Call readers and make 1t as emphatic as you like that the administration has tried and will continue to try and merit the friend ship and sympathy or the nations of the world, and this can be done only by convincing them that our quarrel with spain Is a just one and is not based on our desire for the acquisition of new territory. Why, even a fool could see that our arbitrary seizure of the Ha- waiian Islands would bring down upon our heads the odium and wrath of all the nations.
 The story that Hawaii would be seized originated in a fools brain."

Testimony as to the immense amount of good that "HUDYAN" has done is to be had for the asking. And any other reasonable service is to be had.

LEO'S LAST HOPE.

PARIS, April 19.-The Figaro's Rome correspondent says: "The
 Y vatican was approached by representative of a European x power in regard to a proposition which mig yet avert a conflict
 x between Spain and the United states. Spain is to offer Cuba to
 x the Pope, just as Austria ceded
 x venice to Napoleon III, and the x Pope would be able to declare the * independence of Cuba.
 Thus the amour propre of the < Spaniards VOL be safeguarded x and a disastrous war, which might compromise Spain's pos session of her other colonies, * would be avoided.
 * "The Pope gave a favorable re-
 * ception to the proposition, but x declared he could nc take the < initiative. However the idea has x been submitted and the Pope has X not rejected it."

sels have been added to Captain Samp- which are desired for duty at the en- frances to shallow harbors.
 Before the blockade can be inaugur- ated it will be necessary for the ves- sells of the two fleets to destroy sixty four gunboats, torpedo-boats and launches which Spain now has in Gu ban and Porto Rican ports.
 It is the expectation of the officials that many of these will be stationed in the harbor of Havana, and that the torpedo-boats will do what they can to sink the blockading vessels by flashing out at night. It is proposed that the torpedo-boat flotilla of seven vessels which this Government has attached to Captain SampSon's command will ac- company his force to Cuba and will be suitable in fighting the Spanish tor pedo-boatS.
 Captain Sampson's fleet will proba- ply not reach Cuba until early Sstur- day forenoon. Commodore Schley's force, having a greater distance to steam. will probably not reach its des- tination until Monday There is a prob ability that even before Spain's reply to the ultimatum of this Government is read Commodore Schley may receive or ders to go to the vicinity of St Thomas. to which point instructions will be sent him to blockade, if necessary, the Porto Rican ports.
 As soon as it Is found convenient for the battle-ships and armored and pro- tected cruisers to leave the duty of con- tinuing the blockade to smaller vessels they will be sent abroad to meet and destroy vessels of the Spanish navy.
