as an evidence that he was pleased 10
meet a resident of a city with the ap-
pearance and progressiveness Of which
he had been much interested.

 Tn this solemn moment, when the first cannon shot Is almost audible, the gov ernment is prepared to assume the en- tire responsibility for it's decisions, but 1t considers it opportune that the queen re- gent should hear the opinion of all the po- litical leaders and the influential men or all parties as well as the principal gen erals.'

SENATOR WALTHALL
 DIED YESTERDAY 
His Death Was Not Unexpected. Sketch of His Useful
 Life.

Washington, April 21.-Senator Edward c. Walthall of Mississippi died In his apart ments at the Cairo today at 5:30 p. His death was not unexpected, the end having been foreseen for several days.
 At the time of his death there were at his bedside his wife, sister, Mrs Freeman, and his niece, Mrs Clark, and her daughter Representatives Allen and Fox of Mssls- sippi have been in almost constant attend ance since his illness. Senator Walthall's s illness dated from January last, when he cotracted a cold. In February he suffered from an attack of bilious fever, and from this he never recovered. His last address in the senate was made on April ', when he delivered a eulogy upon his colelague, Senator George, in spite of the protests of his physician. The following Saturday he was confined to his bed with a severe at resulted fatally.
 The funeral arrangements provide for services in the senate on Saturday at Il o'clock. The remains. accompanied by a congressional committee will leave Satur- day night for Honey Springs, Miss, via Atlanta and Birmingham. The interment will take place at 10 o'clock Monday.
 Edward c. Walthall was born in Rich mond, Va, in 1891. He served in the con- federate army during the civil war, rising to the rank of major-general His profess sion was the law.
 With the exception of fourteen months, from January, 1894, to March 1885 MT. Waltha sat continuously in the senate since the 12th of March, 1885. He was first appointed to this position to fill the va cancy caused by the nomination of Hon. l.. Q. c. Lamar to a position in President Clevefand's first cabinet, and has been re- elected whenever his term has expired since that time. Previous to his res ignation in 1894, he had been elected for the term beginning In 1895, and he had only to re- turn and take his seat at the expiration of the term for which he had retired His resignation at that time was rendered on account of ill-health. and MT. Walthall has never been robust since he resumed his seat.
 It is not too much to say that Senator Walthall commanded the respect of every man in the senate. Refined, gentle and courteous in manner, and yet firm, manly and honest, he easily won and held place in the hearts of all who knew him.

AMERICAN EMBLEM
 DESTROYED BY MOB Streets of Madrid Are Filled With Enthusiastic Populace. CIVIL GOVERNOR OF CITY Instead of Endeavoring to QueIl the Disturb ance, Joined in the Demonstration
 Shouts of Down With the Yam
 kees" Heard on All Sides.

Madrid. April H.-9:30 p. m.-Enthusiastic processions are now moving through the streets The mob gathered in front of the building of the Equitable Life Insurance company and insisted upon the removal of the American eagle, which was thrown down and smashed to bits. The fragments were then carried through the streets by a cheering, yelling mob to the Military club, where the members appeared upon the balcony and enthusiastically cheered the demons trators, shouting ''Viva Espana" and Down with the Yankees" The police mixed with the crowd and allowed the dem- onstrators to go on without restraint.
 The civil governor of Madrid, Senor Agu- ilera, instead of prohibiting disorder, al- lowed complete liberty of action, mingling among the demonstra tors. He was loudly cheered, especially when the American escutcheon was thrown from the balcony of the Equitable building and fell at his feet He, as if trampling upon the escutheon, addressed the populace amid enthusiatilc applause. He said:
 ''The Spanish lion is reused from his slumber He will shake his mane and dis perse the rest of the brute creation"
 The demonstration then continued, part of the mob proposing to demonstrate in front of the American legation, which IS now under the British flag. It is hoped at the time this dispatch is sent that the crowd will dsperse exhausted, having noth- ing upon which to wreak its vengeance.

LONDON PAPERS COMMENT.
Every Voice in England Is Raised to Wish Us
 Success.

London, April N.-The Daily Graphic says editorially this morning:
 The idea of ridding Cuba of Spaniards has, been threatened by American states men during the last half century but the merit of acting upon it with all. it's tre- mendous responsibilities and risks, for it is a mseit-belongs to President Mckinley. The adequacy of his Justification cannot be doubted in England, and every voice is raised to wish the United States success"
 The Times says: "No exception can be taken to the course pursued by the Span ish government in avoiding the formal presentation of a document which Spain s previous decisions irrevocably formed thereupon, had rendered practically super auous. The two nations are at war; There Is no especial responsibility attached to firing the first shot, seeing that both are clearly committed to the arbitrament of war .
 The announcement that the United States will adhere to the principle Of the treaty of Paris is an expression of G1nulne desire to conform to the more humane views of war accepted by the powers. The sympathy for the United States felt by Great Brit ain cannot but strengthen, especially among the commercial community, by sense of re- lief thus afforded. It Is to be hoped that in the interest of both countries and the world at large the better understanding now being arrived at may be permanent. The Ameri- can officials observe, no doubt, that there is little sympathy and even little toleration for them anywhere, but in this country, her colonies and dependencies"

THE MASSACHUSETTS IN IT
Rumor That the Crack BattIeship Would Not Accompany the Feet-Great Excite ment Among 0ffiee's on A;-
 count of Situation.

Fort Monroe, Va, April 21.-Beginning with the reception of the first news bulle- tins from Washington today intense excite ment prevailed here, both on shore and among the officers and men of the squad ron. While the general duties of the day were attended to as usual, under the strict discipline established by Commodore Schley there was an under-current of feverlshne s that hurried along things with suggestive ness.
 The officers who came ashore in the after- noon were notified that they must report on board at 10 o'clock by the latest and that all-night shore leaves would not be g&nted. The officers of the Massachusetts were told that they must report at b:30 o'clock on board until leave might be grant ed for some few hours leave to see friends. These two orders led to all sorts of rumors an annoying one being that the Massacnu- setts had been detached, which was promptly denied. At the hotels, where many of the officers wives are staying, there was great consternation, it being be- lieved that the squadron should sail before morning.
 All Engines Coupled At 4 o'clock the receipt of the Associated Press bulletin that the Key West fleet had moved, and the further bulletin that the Spanish believed the ultimatum to DC a declaration of war, Commodore Schley sig nailed from the Brooklyn for all engines to be coupled. The engines in port are un- coupled and not usually coupled unui at sea- and the order was for the evident in- tention of making good time when an or- der was received. Arrangements were made for the telegraph stations on shore 10 remain open all night to receive dispatches.
 Despite the strain on all nerves tonight men and officers are enthusiastic to nlSh degree This was demonstrated when the torpedo boat Rodgers stopped by the Brooklyn on her way out to join the Key West squadron to ask permission Of Com modore Schley to proceed. The men flock ed to the forecastles of the vessels and cheered Justify.
 The Rodgers went out once before but rubbed on a sand bar and slightly injured her screw. While the injury was not severe it was thought best to fix it up and the work was completed today.
 She went out of Hampton Roads at ter rife rate.
 The colliers assigned to the squadron, the Merrimac and Saturn, are not yet quite ready. but may be in a day. They are fast boats and can catch the squadron, which in squadron array, will not attempt to make more than twelve knots an hour. The hos pital boat is still in the hands of the ship builders being converted and cannot be ready with a crew for several days. These things however, have no effect upon the starting of the squadron Captain Higgin- son said tonight that any statement to the effect that the Massachusetts had been or dered to go to New York city for defense of that harbor was not true. All the ships have extraordinary complements of coal water, oil and provisions and are ready for Q long cruise.
