The sun. (Wilmington, Del.) 1897-19??, 1898-05-15

The officers of the Wilmington think
the loss of life and the destruction OF
property in Cardenas must have been
heavy. They venture no opinion as to
whether any Of the Spanish gunboats
was destroyed, although the shells fell
thick about them, but some OF the men
forward claim to have seen a shell ex-
p!ode aboard the largest gunboat of the
three. They say that when it struck the
smokestack went up in the air, the
whole vessel was lifted and seemed to
have been completely shattered. They
bel eve she must have sunk at her moor
i gs.
Captain Todd thinks the guns and
munitions of war brought from Spain by
the Montserrat, which managed to get
through the blockade in Cienfuegos,
have been distributed between Cardenas,
Matanzas, and Havana, and he has also
reason to believe that the Alfonso MI
has been stripped Of her guns The
guns OF her main battery, he thinks,
have been mounted in old Queens Bat
terry, on the bluff back of Moro Castle,
and the guns of her secondary batteries
have been divided between Matanzas
and Cardenas.

Joseph N. chenet, Of Syracuse, Tells
Of a Terrible Exp ,rience.
How He Was { AVID.

SYRACUSE, N. Y.,-Joseph N. Chenet of
this city, tells of terrible experience.
He thong hi Death had him, but he is alive
and perfectly well today.
Mr.. Chenet was in extremely bad health
and went to celebrated Eiie specialist for
treatment. When he told the specialist
that he had diabetes of four years standing:
the great man changed color, and after ex-
animation said: Go home and enjoy what
comfort you may. You have but few
weeks to live. An operation was recon-
mended, but the specialist SAID the patient
must be stronger to undergoit. Mr.. Chenet
adds:
"Ikept growing weaker and weaker. l
thought that death had me sure. One day
my sister In Winnipeg sent me paper in
which saw the wonderful cure of DR.. E. A
Rose, who was also afflicted with diabetes.
That gave me hope. 1 got six boxes OF
Dodd's Kidney Pills, and began taking
them. Before had finished taken the first
box my organs were welLand strong. The
doctor would not believe was cured until
he made personal examination. Thanks
we've due to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
There is no case of diabetes, or any other
disease, arising from d;sordered kidneys,
that Dodd's Kidney Pills cannot cure.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l.-Major Cen
eral Butler had another conference with
the president during the day concerning
affairs in Cuba. In an interview he
said: .'Since the American commission

soldiers have been sent back to Spain.
Thirty-two transports will soon arrive
there and take away from $4,000 to co.

General Butler said that nobody
could approximate the time when this
country could turn things over to the
Cubans. He had found the Cubans
bright and well educated. He believed
that many Spaniards would soon join
with the Cubans and take. part in the
affairs of the island.

luton TO come from The committee on for
eign relations the rosolutlca would cause
a serious and, perhaps, long discussion. 1t
emphasized the fact that there are two Gle .
monts In the souate--ono for independence
with intervention. anothss for intervention
alone--and these two factions viii fight
vigorously for their ideas. The relations Of
the United states with Spain was the up
neimcst topic in the executive session and
COZ stituted the subject of many confer
ences among senators.
The actiSity WIS due TO the announce
ment that the presidents message would
recommend the adoption of policy look
ing to Intervention in Cuba on the part OF
the executive branch OF the government,
rather than the recognition of Independence
and TO an effort to make smooth the way

discussion of the policy 10 be pursued to-

raised by MIR. Allen. who made u long
speech predicting much dissatisfaction
throughout the country with the action OF

Senator Alien was followed by other
speakers in the same line, and the fact was
made very evident that il the committee on
foreign relations should bring In a resolu-

request and stopping short of declaration
for independence there would be an effort
in the senate 10 amend it so as to accom-

was made by more than one senator that
he would offer such an amen iment. and by
many more that they would support an cf-
fort in the direction of an addition 10 the
declaration that simply intervention should

Washington, April 1.-The diplomatic

the members Of the diplomatic corps eN-
pressively stated the diplomatic view of the

ability Of utterances which would afford
Information TO the enemy. This PROPOSE
ton was debated but without reaching a
conclusion.
While tho senate WAS In executive SEES
sion formidable clement in the senate
was considering what should be done in
case resolutions should be reported pro-
yidng for recognition OF Independence.
This faction was composed of the conscrva-
tive element on the republican side OF tho
senate. Their conference was held in Sen.
ator Aldrich's committee room. and among
those present We're Senators Hama. rlatt
Comm. spooncr. Hale. Fairbanks ami
Aldrich. Senator Allison was also there
for brief time.
The general purpose was expressed to
oppose the adoption OF any report that
should recommend a recognition of Cuban
independence and which did not indeed
confne Itself TO the support of the prcsi-
dents recommendation for intervention
only. This position was taken because Of
the generally expressed conviction among
the senators that in case Of war with Spain
and the triumph of the arms OF the United
States, this country could be lett free to
dispose of Cuba as she might see proper
Many OF them expressed dissatisfaction
with the present Cuban administration and
the opinion was given that the recognition
of independence at this time would bind
the United states to support the present
Cuban administration and TO guarantee its
bonds, giving to the Cuban iunta posi-
ton OF influence and power TO which IL
WAS not, in their opinion, entitled. Hence
decision was reached to labor with the
committee on foreign relations not to re-
port a resolution with double purpose
and the intention was expressed 10 oppose
its adoption II reported.
In accordance with the action of this
committee, Senator's Allison and Aldrich
held a prolonged conference later with
Senators Davis Frye and Lodge OF the
committee on foreign relations, These
members OF the foreign committee were
able 10 assure the other senators that no
effort would he made TO report the rcso-
luton tomorrow or the same day on which
the message should be received. But they
could not give the same assurance as 10 The
character OF the resolutions They did rot
conceal from their visitors the fact that the
committee ready had agreed upon reso-
luton providing both for Independence aad
intervention, and that II might be difficult
to change the resolutions. But on this
Point no one could speak definitely until
the committee could confer and the visitors
withdrew without receiving any satisiac-
tory assurances
The prevailing opinion among senator's
is that the committee viii recede from a.
position for both independence and inter
vention and report resolution In Accord
ance with the presidents recommendation
