say that Senior Gullon. the foreign min
lister, having received important teie-
grams from Washington. immediately
went to the residence Of Senior SaGnotn,

view was had. Senior Gullon then went

parted the contents Of the te1egr1ms.
He said that the Ambassadors OF the
powers have asked Spain to grant an

gotiations for a settlement Of the whole
question.

discussion. during which Senor 0a-
gasta went out and consulted with the
queen regent. and IL was finally de-
cided to grant an armistice which
should last five days, upon the follow
ing conditions: That the United States
would Immediately cease to lend moral
surgents: that the American squadron
in the vicinity of Cuba should be with
drawn. and that the American war ves-
sells near the Philippine islands also
should be withdrawn.
II the United States decline those con-
ditions Ii is declared that the powers

REGULATIONS AMENDED.
Limits of Punishment for Deserters and
Enlisted Men.

Washington. April s.-By direction of
the president Secretary Alger has pub
lished an order amending that OF March
20. 1895. establishing the limits of punish
ment for enlisted men of the army who
may be convicted OF offenses contrary to
good order and prejudicial TO the inter-
ests of the military branch of the govern
ment. A number OF changes are made In
the original order of March. 1895. but they
are not of great Importance. OF particular
interest at this time. however. are those
features relating to desertlon and the
persuading of soldiers to desert.
The order provides that the punishment
for the former offense, when Joined in by
two or more soldiers in the execution OF q
conspiracy. or for desertion in the pres
ence of any outbreak of Indians or of any
unlawful assemblage which the troops
may be opposing. shall not exceed dishon-
orable discharge. forfeiture of all pay and
allowances and confinement at hard la
Dor for five years. For persuading soldiers
to desert. the punishment is forfeiture OF
all pay and allowances and one years
confinement at hard labor. For disobedi-
ence of orders the punishment Is six
months confinement at hard labor and
forfeiture of $40 per month for the same
period.

SHERMAN HEARD FROM.
Senior Polo Subjected to Petty Annoy.
abces In Washington.

Senior Polo Subjected to Petty Annoy
apces In Washington.
Washington. April 9.-The state de-
partment gave out the following to-
day: Secretary Sherman. referring 70
the report in Madrid that the Spanish
legation at Washington had been at
tackled. remarked to-day that, as every
one here knows. there is no truth in 1t.
but on the contrary the Spanish minis
ter is highly esteemed. is received every
where and is respected by all our peo-
pie. If as a result of pending contro-
versies he shall be recalled by his gov
ernment, he will carry with him the
kindly regard Of the president and the
members of the cabinet, as well as the
people generally.
Mr.. Sherman's denial that the Span
ish legation had been attacked is in line
with the official denials which the Span
ish minister himself cabled to Madrid.
The minister stated to-day he at no
time had attached any importance to
the petty annoyances directed against
the national property and officials. II
has been attributed to ignorant vandal-
ism, mainly by small children. 1t can
be stated in this connection that Senior
Polo has sought to lessen the friction
between the two governments rather
than TO increase Ii. Some of the annoy
ing character even though petty, and
were repeated again last night. Had
he been disposed to do so the minister
might have made these indignties
cause for complaint, and an indignity
to the German coat-of-arms, in fact
was the final cause of the rupture over
the Caroline islands. But Minister Polo
has preferred to minimize these annoy
ances and to assure his government by
cable that he was receiving every
proper consideration here.
The minister was somewhat annoyed
to-day at a published statement to the
effect that some attache of the lega-
tion had criticised United States con-
suls for leaving their posts in Cuba
through fear. The minister and all his
staff denied that any such criticisms
have been made. and they felt that this
misrepresents the care they are taking
to avoid action which will increase the
strain Of the present situation.

scenes in the ST. Cuthbert's church yes

tomary during the past years. the con-
duct OF the service consisted in chant
ing st. Johns story of the passion on
the same lines as the Oberammergau
play. the officiating clergy taking the
roles of Christ and Caliphas. One OF
the principal features Is known as the
"veneration of the cross" and the cru
cifix was being removed from the altar
to the steps. when the clergy. acolytes
and congregation PROSTATE themselves
and kiss the figure of Christ. At the
tail of the procession was Mr.. kensil.
surrounded by a body of friends. They
advanced to the altar steps, but. in
stead OF kneeling. Kensil horrified the
congregation by suddenly seiZing the
crucifix. raising II aloft and frantically
rushing toward the door. shouting: I'm
the name of God. / denounce this idol
airy and popery in the Church of Eng
land. My God, help me-" A most pain
full scene ensued. A crowd OF people
surrounded Mr.. Kensil, and people
struck him and wrestled with him. one
man going so far as to thrust hand
kerchief into Mr.. Kensirs mouth in or
der to gag him. Finally the congrega-
tion rescued the crucifix and the police
entered the church and arrested Mr..

GERMANY IS NEUTRAL.
The Trend of Her sympathy Is with the
United states.


New York, April 9.-The New York
Stats Zeitung will tomorrow publish
an interview which its Berlin special
correspondent had to-day with a high
functionary of the imperial foreign Of
flee regarding the official attitude Of
Germany in the Hispano- American con-
fiict. The functionary, after reaffirming
anew that Germany would remain
strictly neutral. continued as follows:
I'VE are suffering under the allega-
tion that we have decided to side with
Spain. Our own immediate interests
and commercial relations are rather apt
to trend our sympathies towards the
United States. We Joined the action of
the powers in Washington without de-
waiting an inch from the line of the
strictest neutrality; we were led by the
consideration that the action of the
members was not directed at interfer-
ence, but was solely and exclusively in
tended to be an utterance of peace. 1t
would have looked very queer had we.
and only we, excluded ourselves from
that purely platonic move. Spain, in
deed, would have been justified in as
serting that we sided with the United
States. We do not. by any means. de-
fend Spanish misrule in Cuba: nor have
we the least interest In preventing the
separation Of the island from Spain
But. IL the separation is performed too
vehemently. then Spain would have to
suffer too severely and the monarchy
there would be endangered. But. new
ertheless. we will interfere under no
circumstances whatever. IL for no other
cause than for the sake OF the existing
commercial relations. We sincerely
wish to keep up the friendship with the
United States which has stood the test
Of a hundred years without ever being
impaired"

II is my opinion that what we need to
end the war quickly Is cannon, and a
great deal OF dynamite. so that we
can expel them by fire and steel from

ion of the optimists, I adhere to the
idea that we will never make Spain
