Madrid, April 11.--A visit of the for
eign ambassadors to Senor Gullon,
minister of foreign affairs, resulted in
meeting of the cabinet, at which a
decision was reached to grant an ar
mistice to the insurgents in Cuba.
United States Minister Woodford
has been officially informed that the
Spanish government has telegraphed
to the pope that in view of his urgent
request, fortified by visit from the
represen tatives in Madrid of the great
powers, they (the Spanith government)
have telegraphed to General Blanco in
Cuba, instructing him to issue an ar
mistice proclamation, the duration of
the armistice to be as he decides.
Gen. Woodford had no information
relative to the withdrawal of the
American warships. General Wood
ford paid visit to Senor Gullon, min
lister of foreign affairs. The generals
opinion is that events will be settled
satisfactorily on the first stage of the
Spanish difficulty, and In
sures peace.

OF the smoke pipe is 100 feet above the

presence of superstructure amidships
adds much to the comfort Of a moni-

gear would incumber the space between
the turrets and give the enemy as good
a mark as does a superstructure. This
point is illustrated by comparison of
the MinantonomaL and the Amphitrite,

AMERICANS LEAVE HAVANA.
Hooted. Kissed and Jeered as They Take
Their Departure.

Havana, April 9.-United States
Consul-General Lee and his staff, with
Consuls Springer and Barker, left Ha.
yana at o'clock tonight on the light
house tender Fern.
Tell the olivette to get under way
at once, Captain C5wles signaled the
Bache that the United States feet is
ready to clear out of Havana, and
please follow the Bache out"
These were the words of Consul
General Lee at5:15 yesterday afternoon
as he stood on the poop of the Fern
with group of correspondents around
him. 1t was evident to all that General
Lee intended to be the last to leave
and murmur of applause went around
in support of his intention. The EVELYN
had already passed Moro castle when
the olivette weighed anchor. The
Bache was close behind and the Fern
was the last of the line. The warves
and boats on both sides of the narrow
entrance to the harbor were crowded
with Spaniards, who hissed and jeered
as e'ch boat passed out.
Is the Fern rounded to, heading for
the open sea, she passed near the
Maine wreck. The group on deck had
been laughing and talking, expressing
their satisfaction at leaving Havana
With one accord each man doffed his
hat in salute to the brave dead, while
silence fell on all for the space of sew
eral minutes.
General Lee being on the Fern made
that boat the target for redoubled
misses, groans, catcalls and whistles
from the crowd on shore. ''Get out,
Yankee swine" was about the mildest
expression used. This seemed to
strike every one on board as ludicrous
Vice Consul Springer who had been in
the island 30 years, waved his hat to
a particularly abusive group, saving
in tones loud enough for all to hear:
Wait, wait, my friends, we shall all
be back soon"
There was one pretty incident. On
the Cabanas shore British steamer
was unloading at her wharf. As the
Fern passed, the Union Jack was dip
ped, while the English crew gave
hearty cheer. 1t is needless to say
that the compliment was returned
with all possible gusto.

Key West, April 10.-Consul General
Lee arrived here on the Form at 7:30
this morning.
General Lee came ashore about IL
o'clock and received an answer to a
telegram he had sent to Washington.
The general sailed for Tampa at noon.
From that port he will go direct to
Washington.
Consul General Lee held long con-
terence with Captain Sampson this
evening, before leaving for Tampa.
There was no movement of the fleet
today. The Puritan coaled, and to-
night the Marblehead took the patrol
There is no fresh news from Moron
Juraco, though there Is little doubt
that Maxine Gomez and General Garcia
have effected union of forces.
1t is believed that between 1000 and
5000 men, in addition to those that
Generals Gomez and Garcia bave, are
available in the provinces of Havana
and Matanzas
A significant occurrence took place
yesterday, when the Fern, with Consul
General Lee and other Americans ON
board, was passing Moro Castle In
reply to the Spanish rabble on the
wharves, who hooted, Death to the
Yankee Swine" the correspondent of
the London Times. who was on the

pie on the surface, either at the White
House or the capitol, to show that the
United States is on the brink of war,
Both houses of congress had adjourned
until Monday, and at the executive
mansion there was no rush OF eager
and excited public men, but Sunday
quiet atmosphere. Only at the war
and navy departments were there signs
OF an impending conflict in the rush of
immediate orders to a host of naval
officers to report at once for duty on
vessels to which they were assigned,
and in conference among bureau chiefs
on details of war preparations
As yet the resolve was frmer than
ever that unless Spain yielded to
American-Cuband demands. the United
states, by force of arms, would move
on Havana. 1t was the very recogni-
tion of the fixity of this purpose that
caused the day to be in marked CON
trast to the excitement of all its prede-
cessors of late, There was still some
discussion of Cuban affairs but it only
served to emphasize the fact that one
forward step of immense Importance
had been taken, for the discussion was
of an advanced stage, and concerned
not intervention and freedom of Cuba
from Spain's dominion. but the obliga-
tions and duties thas might be imposed
upon the United States after we had
expelled Spain from the island
This discussion revolved around two
propositions namely, Intervention
without recognition of the Cuban in
surgents and intervention with con-
current recognition of the indepead-
ence of the present insurgent govern
ment in Cuba.
The cabinet held its usual session.
but its meeting brought no change in
the Spanish situation. Indeed, 1t was
chiefly signigcant in establishing that
no change had occurred that none was
expected, and that the program of ac-
tlon on the part of the United States
government was already made up. The
presidents message remains unaltered.
indeed, this being the last cabinet dav
before the message will go to CON
gress, alterations are unlikely between
now and Monday, barring altogeth-
er unexpected developments from
Madrid. After the meeting cabinet
officers stated that the message would
be sent to congress on Monday, no
change In that respect having been
considered and all causes for DELAY
having been removed
The ealmness of the cabinet meeting
which was one of the most uneyentful
held in recent days, was another evil
dence of the feeling entertained by the
administration that the case is made
up and that nothing now remains to be
done but to present the subject to
congress and await the final outcome
there.

SPANISH PRESS COMMENT.


Madrid, April 11.-El Globo devotes
its leading editorial to telling the ma
tion that the government has carried
out Spain's wishes under the circum-
stances, yielding only to the voice of
united Europe, and not to the United
States. 1t says;
Europe will now support Spain
should the United States continue to
aid the insurrection. Spain is stronger
than ever.
I'll Liberal, in highly significant
article, says: ''The government has
signed blank form which others will
till up. Spain yields everything to the
voice of Europe, yet the Via Crucis way
to cross is only beginning. The col
lective note shows that Spain's surren-
der will serve as the basis of new
negotiations, whence will issue the
necessary guarantees, establishment
of normality in Cuba"
Ell Liberal plaintively says it is inn
possible for Spain to avoid a s'feeling
of deadly sadness" Still it advises the
people to remain quiet, as perhaps
Europe may exact concessions from
America, and also any way defer the
reckoning day"

the government for yielding after
boasting that it would not grant an
unsolicited truce to rebels. yielding

The general impression is that the men

little chance of ever coming out of an

thoroughly confirmed by the torpedo
men themselves, and the matter of fact
way in which they discussed their
chances was a striking illustration of
American pluck and of indifference to
death in their country's cause.

spain Grants Armistlce.

Washington, April 10.-The Spanish
government through its minister at
Washington, Senior Poly y Bernabe,
has delivered an important official
document to the state department,
stating that the armistice which tho
queen regent of Spain had commended
General Blanco to proclaim, was with
out conditions; that her majesty's
government had granted liberal insti-
tutions to the island of Cuba, which
the coming Cuban parliament would
adopt; recalling the coincidence and
sympathy expressed by the queen re-
gent and her government on the dis
aster of the Maine and the horror this
disaster had oceasioned in Spanish
hearts, and appealing to the courtesy
and sense of justice of the United Stats
government to enlighten public opinion
upon the attitude of Spain. The note
also repeats the offer of the Spanish
government to submit the Maine qaes-
tion to experts, designated by the mar
itime powers of the world.

very full, otherwise the enormous ar
NOR weights could not be borne. The
absence of eight-inch guns means a
sacrifice of offensive power, but there
is corresponding gain in armor pro-
lection and in general simplicity. The
ship can be commanded by one man
and handled by small crew. The de-
signer believes that this ship, although
costing not over two thirds as much as
the Indiana and being much cheaper to
maintain, would be more than a match
for the pride of the Hoosier state.

Attention has been attracted to the
merchant steamships that are classed
as auxiliary cruisers to the navy, and
which could be fitted out in a short
time so as to serve most effectively as
commerce destroyers or as speedy
transports for the handling of troops.
The available steamships that could be
utilized by the government would con-
stitute a big fleet. and experts believe
that 1t would prove of great service
in the event of war with any country.
