HILL MUST BE HANGED.
Long Struggle TO save Murderer on
Technical Grounds Is Ended,

Philadelphia, April 1.-THE supreme
court decided today, in an opinion by
Justice Mitchell, that Philip Hill must
be hanged by the sheriff Of Allegheny
county, and that any further delay
may subject the sheriff to penalties of
an escape.
Hill was convicted in Allegheny
county of murder in the first degree in
killing George Lawrence, and on July
81, was sentenced to be hanged
The governor fixed the day of exc
cution Tee. 8 last, and on that day the
counsel for Hill filed an appeal to this
court, and the sheriff being informed
by counsel that it was a question
whether the appeal was q supersedeas
though it had not been specially allow
ed by the supreme courS, postponed the
execution. 1t was subsequently con-
tended that this postponement must
work the release of Hill as the day for
his execution had passed. and it had
not been carried into effect.
The supreme court brushes aside all
these contentious and sets the records
back to the lower court with an order
that the execution be proceeded with.

The War Must Stop.

THE LONG trial has proved that the
object for which Spain has waEed
a the war cannot be attained. The
tire of insuTection may flame or may
shoulder with varying seasons, but it
has not been and it is plain that it
cannot be eXtinguished by present
methods. The only hope oI relief and
repose from a condition which can no
longer he endured is the enforced pa
cification Of Cuba. IN THE NAME
OF HUMANITY, IN THE NAME OF
CIVILIZATION, IN BEHALF OF EN-
DANGERED AMERICAN INTER
ESTS WHICH GIVE US THE RIGHT
AND THE DUTY TO SPEAK AND TO
ACT THE WAR IN CUBA MUST
STOP.
In view Of these facts and of these
considerations | ask the congress to
authorize and empower the president
to take measures to secure a full and
final termination of hostilties between
the government of Spain and the peu-
pie of cuba, and to secure in the island
the establishment Of a stable govern
ment capable of maintaining order and
observing its international obligations
ensuring peace and tranquility and the
security of its citizens as we'll as our
own. and to use the military and naval
forces of the United States as may be
necessary for these purposes.
And in the interest of humanity and
to aid in preserving the lives of the
starving people Of the island recon-
mend that the distribution of food and
supplies he continued and that an ap-
prupriation be made out of the public
treasury to supplement the charity Of
our citizens.
The issue is now with the congress.
II is solemn responsibility. l have
exhausted every effort to relieve the in
tolerable condition Of affairs which is
at our doors. Prepared to execute
every obligation imposed upon me by
the constitution and the law, 1 await
your action.

Shouting sylvia Espans."

Madrid, April IL, 1890 p. m.-Numer-
Gus groups in the Puerto del Sol and in
front of the offices of the minister of
the interior this evening have raised
the cry viva Espana" The gend-

YESTERDAY, and since the prepar-
alton of the foregoing message,
official information was received
by me that the latest decree of the
queen regent of Spain directs General
Hlanco, in order to prepare and facili-
tate peace, to proclaim a suspension
OF hostilities, the duration and details
of which have not yet been communi-
Gated u me. This fact. with every
other pertinent consideration. will. /
am sure, have your just and careful
attention in the solemn deliberations
upon which you are about to enter. If
this measure attains n successful re-
suit, then our aspirations as a Chris
tian, peace-l0ving people will be real
lied. If it fails, it will be only another
justification for our contemplated ac-
ton. (Signcd)

BERANGER TALKS
OF TORPEDOES
Former Spanish Minister OF War Is
Interviewed.
THINKS SPAIN CAN EASILY WIN
lie Says That 100 Torpedoes Were
Sent to Cuba and Placed In the
Harbors--Also states That the
American Sailors Would Become
Frightened at spain's Warriors.

Madrid, April 11.-Eil IIeraldo de Mad
rid publishes an interview with Ad-
iniral Beranger, former minister If
marine, in the course of which he ex-
presses his confidence in the ability Of
the Spanish navy to win in the even Of
war with the United Safes. Said the
Admiral:
There is no fear of our Cuban ports
being exposed to u night attack mas
much as Havana, Cienfuegas, Nue.
Vitas and Santiago de Cuba are de-
defended by electric and automatic
torpcdoes with large radius of ac-
ton.
The late SCnor Canovas del Castillo,
who paid attention to these rumors,
decided in accord with myself, To send
to Cuba 1870 torpedoes, which must
have been placed in these harbors.
Chacon, the we'll known torpedo eN-
pert undertook to convey and place
these engines.
/ have already said that by sea we
shall be victorious. | will give you
my reasons. The first Is, the excel
lent discipline maintained on our war
ships; the second, is that on board the
American vessels as soon as firing is
opened panic will set in, since IT is
common knowledge that their crews
comprise men of every nationality.
Pitted ship against ship then, We
have nothing to fear.
FL impartial, commenting on this in
tcrVieW, says:
That these torpedoes should be sent
in case war should break out is very
natural; but that az much should be
admitted at this moment constitutes
two-fold mprudenCc; in the first place,
because it warns the enemy and, the
enemy being warned it will do its best
to cripple those defenses, and secondly,
because the jingoes, availinG them
selves OF the evidence afforded by the
minister of marine of the late Senor
Canovas, will asert that one of the
torpedoes he describes caused the
Maine explosion.

CHAGRlN AT KEY WEST.
Presidents Message Is Received with
Evident DispIrasurp.

Key West, Fig, April 1.-THE day
has been one Of tension, relieved by
the news of the presidents message,
but then changed to a feeling almost
of disgust, because it is considered that
the message will be treated by con-
grcss as semi-routine matter. OF
course people here are ignorant Of the
motives actuating congress, of the
plans made, Of the necessity for dig
nified delay, and of the propriety Of Sc
curing time.
Still it is hoped by all and believed
by many that the final arrangements
made would be welcome. The CORE
spondents who left there such a short
time ago know how likely the popu-
lace, led by the soldiery, is to indulge
in riot, possibly bloodshed No one
takes any stock whatever in General
Blanco's armistiCe All say that it is
not for Blanco, but for General Gomez
to say when the shooting is to stop.
