The Feeling Not Allayed.

Continuing, the report says: Mani
festations OF that resentment were sus-
pended, although the feeling was not
allayed, by the self-restraint of our
people, who determined to hold their
judgment in suspense concerning their
ultimate action until an official investi-
cation should disclose the cause of that
great disaster and enable them by di-
rect or circumstantial testimony to inn
put the responsibility therefor. That
investigation has been made. 1t was
conducted with judicial thoroughness
and elaboration. The difficulty of dem
onstrating by conclusive proof the eff
cient personal cause of that sinister
event was the usual one of exposing
plotted and mysterious crimes No such
difficulty, however obscures its official
and responsible cause"

Washington, April 13.-The senate
committee on foreign affairs reported
a resolution calling for immediate
armed intervention in Cuba and the
establishment of stable, independent
government. The report was made by
Senator Davis, chairman Of that COM
mittee, and was very thorough re-
view Of the entire situation, and a
strong presentation of the facts which
has led the committee to it's conclu-
sions. The report takes up the Maine
disaster as the leading topic for consid-
Grafton and plunges into that question
in it's first sentence, which is as follows:
1.-THE destruction of the United States
battleship Maine, of two of her officers
and Of 264 of her crew in the harbor Of
Havana on the night of Feb. Is, 1898,
excited to an unprecedented degree the
compassion and resentment of the
American people"

SPEEDY EVACUATION OF CUBA
GOOD PROGRESS MADE IN RE-
MoVAL OF TROOPS.
General Wade Says the Spanish Gov
eminent Is Acting In Good Faith
Occupation On December 1st.

washington, Oct. 19.-General Wade,
president of the American evacuation
commission, telegraphed the war de-
partment last night that 5000 Spanish
soldiers had been embarked already for
Spain and that arrangements had been
completed, of which the commissioners
had been duly notified by the Spanish
commissioners. for the embarkation of
1000 more troops in the near future.
On the whole this rate of progress. in
view of the limited resources of Spain,
is believed to be reasonable
1t is realized thai the Spanish gov
eminent is not able TO command unlim-
tied transport service, if for no other
reason than for lack Of cash, Obliging
it to rely entirely upon the government
aided by the Compagnie TranS-Atlan-
tique, whose stock Of vessels has al
ready been heavily drawn upon under
the eXigencies of the war. SO long as
this disposition is exhibited to carry
out in good faith the evacuation of the
islands our government is not likely

that the Americans at Havana did yes

liltimatum on the subject is said to be
erroneous.
This conclusion, however, does not
apply to the transfer of sovereignty,

Spanish troops in Cuba on and after

war department to take complete pos

sioners have been repulsed in their eff
forts to have the United States assume
sovereignty over Cuba as the means
thus transferring to our shoulders the
Cuban debt, the next movement looked
for on their part is one in the direction
of imposing this indebtedness upon the
Cubans themselves when they shall
have erected some form of government
on the ruins of Spanish sovereignty.
This would be something in the nature
of a last resort on the part of the bond
holders. But it is scarcely possible that
any such proposition would be favor
ably received by the peace commits
sioners acting jointly, for aside from
the question as to the justice of i'm
posing upon a new and struggling gov
eminent mass of debt quite sufficient
TO paralyZe it for years to come, there
is much to be said in favor of the en-
tire reputation of this debt by the
Cubans on the score that it was in
CURED actually to benefit Spain.
Also it may be said that even should
the commissioners consent to consider
such a proposition they would do so
only on the distinct understanding that
the various so-called Cuban debt should
be differentiated and only part of them
are regarded as proper liens against
the Cuban people.
Touching the bitter complaints that
are made il the French papers against
what they denominate the uncompro-
missing and unyielding attitude of the
American commissioners and their re-
fusai to consider propositions TO arhi-
trate radical differences between the
two bodies, it is said here that presum-
ably the Spanish commissioners went
to Paris under instructions quite as
comprehensive as these supplied to the
American commissioners. Any sugges-
ton of arbitration would be out of
place in connection with the peace COM
mission and should it come to an ir-
reconcilable difference between the two
commissions there can be one arbitra-
ment-that of the sword-for which our
government is fully prepared, but
which it does not expect to be obliged
TO enter upon.
