OPINIONS OF coNGREssMEN.
Republican HouIs Members Generally APP
prove the Presidsnt's n MsssAKs While
Senators Do Not Like 1t.

WASHINGTON, April l2.-The presi-
dents message did not, after the first
reading, receive the Endorsement of q
ma ajority of the senators and many eX-
cused themselves from speaking abou t
it until they could have time for a
more careful peFusal. In q general
way the objections were based on the
ground that it did not go far enough
in recognizing the rights of the Gu
bans. One of the most significant ut
terances on the subject of the message
was that of Senator Foraker, republic
an, from the presidents own state, and u
member of the committee on foreign
relations. He said: II have no pa
tience with the message and you can
say So" He refused to go into details.
House republicans generally ap-
proved the message. There were q
few exceptions, however, notably Rep
resentative Joy, of ST. Louis, who de-
clared: Il shall be satisfied with moth
ing less than armed intervention look
ing to the independence of the Cuban
people and the expulsion of the Span
ish flag from Cuban soil" The DEM
ocrats without exception declared hos
tility to the general trend of the mes
sage.
The republican members of the
house foreign affairs committee held u
session all afternoon to mHp out a def
mite Cuban policy, but were totally
unable to reach an agreement 1t is
understood that many of the members
whose views heretofore have been pro-
nounced in favor of independence and
intervention, in stating their position
at this informal meeting, announced
an almost complete change of position.

THE ALASKA HORROR.
AT Least .5 Lives Were Lost in the Chill
eoOt Pass Bodies of SO
Already Recovered.

SEATTLE, Wash, April 12.-Advices
received yesterday from Skaguay,
Alaska, say that at least IS lives were
lost in the snowslide on the Chilcoot
pass. The number may possibly be as
high as 100. Sixty-nine bodies have
been recovered so far, and the work of
eXcavating is still progressing. The
place where the slide reached the
greatest depth has not been touched.
The bodies of ]. r. Morgan. of Empo-
ria, Kan, and l.. Weidlin, of Kansas
City. Mo, have been found. A fact that
lends horror to the fearful tragedy Is
that it may never be known with any
degree of accuracy just how many
lives were sacrificed, who they were or
where they came from. Many a poor
fellow lies buried where no human aid
can reach, and his remains must rest
until the summer rain melts the tons
of snow and ice under which he lies
buried. Upon the crowded trail no
record was kept of the living mass of
humanity Drawing hardships and facing
death itself for the mad rush for gold.
In the procession that daily passed were
people from all parts of the world,
unknown to one another.

ON AMERICAN SOIL.
Consul General Lee and Party Arrive In
Tampa and at Once Leave for
Washington.

KEY WEST, Fla, April ,2.-Consul
General Lee arrived here on the Fern
at 1880 o'clock Sunday morning Gen.
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.
Gen. Lee and party left Havana Satur-
day evening about six o'clock. AS the
Fern rounded to, heading for the open
sea, she passed near the Maine
wreck. The group on deck had
been laughing and talking, eX-
pressing 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 several minutes.
Gen. Lee being on board the Fern,
made that boat a target for redoubled
Kisses, groans. cat-calls and whistles

SAYS SPAIN WOULD WIN.
Former Minister OF spanish Marines Saya
Firing Would Cause q Panic On
American Ships.

MADRID, April 13.-El Heraldo do
Madrid publishes an interview with
Adm. Beranger, former minister OF
marine, in the course of which he ex-
pressed his confidence in the ability of
the Spanish navy to win in the event
of war with the United States. "There
is no fear" said Adm. Beranger, ''of
our Cuban ports being exposed to 3
night attack, inasmuch as Havana,
Cienfuegos. Nuevitas and Santiago de
Cuba are defended by electric and au-
tomato torpedoes with a large radius
of action. The late Senor Canovas

to these matters, decided, in ac-
cord with myself, to send to Cuba

placed in those harbors l have al.

set in, since it IS common knowledge
that their crews comprise men of eV-
cry nationality. Pitted ship against

RECALLS GEN. sCHoFIELD.
The Hero OF Many Battles VIII Act Mill
tary Adviser to President Mckinley
During Pending Trouble.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-As a result
of Gen. Schofield's recent visit to the
white house, the announcement was
made that he has been recalled from
the retired list and assigned to duty
as military adviser to the president
and the secretary of war. The eX-
planation of Gen. Schotield's assign
ment to active duty, given out at the
war department, is that number of
officers from the retired list will be
called on to perform executive duty
while younger officers are in the field.
Gen. Schofield is one of the ablest eX-
ecutive officers the army has ever
known aud, while there is no desire to
reflect upon Gen. Miles or to interfere
with him in the discharge of his duties
as COMMUNICATIVE of the army,
the selection of Gen. Schofeld as con
fidential military aid to the president
gives general satisfaction.

WAsHINoToN, April 12.-Gen. Miles
stated this morning that no military
programme would probably be decided
upon or announced until congress de-
fined the situation. The last PROPOSE
tion from Spain has interjected II
further element of uncertainty into
the outcome. 1t is positive, therefore,
that no order for the concentration of
troops will be issued until it is made
plain that congress is determined upon
Il military demonstration at once.

THE MAINE WRECK.
Gen. Lee May Add Some knowledge to
What Ia Already known OF
Conspirncy.

TAMPA, Fla, April u. Zen. Lee may
be able, when he reaches Washington,
to add some knowledge to what is al
ready known regarding the plot by
which the Maine was blown up, though
not, perhaps, to the extent of fixing
the conspiracy officially ON the Span
ish government. After the departure
of the Sampson court Of inquiry IL was
left to him to follow up the clews re-
garding conspirators. On one point
information is definite. Gen. Lee be
lieves the letter of January /, at
tributed to Gen. Weyler, in which
Weyler speaks boastfuily of having pre-
pared Havana harbor SO that Yankee
ships could be destroyed, is genuine.
