GOV. TANNERS AMBITION.
he Would Give Up the Goyernorship
to Be u Major General

John Riley Tanner, governor OF Illinois, would
according to the statements OF some Of his friends
here, gladly exchange the Office which he now
holds for that Of Major General in the United
States Army. He wants to go out and lead the
Illinois troops in case the United States gets
into war with Spain. He docs not want to go
unless he has proper military standing He
thinks the quota of troops to be furnished by
Illinois would entitle him to a major generals
position. He has friends here who say he would
prefer fighting to the governorshfp. and that
the tented field would be more to his liking than
the executive mansion at Springfield There is
good authority for the statement that he would
give up the governorship rather than not get
INTO the fight, but he wants the proper rank.
Saturday OF last week he rendered the Govern.
ment the services OF the Illinois militia. Today
Congressman Lorimer and Mann went up to the
War Department to see Col Morrison, who is in
charge or the division of militia They called
Tor the purpose Of supplementing Tanners offer.
There are several questions involved which de.
yeloped during the course OF the gent1emen's :
visit. The first arose from the plain interpreta
ton OF the constitution of the State of Illinois
which prevents any State officer from boIdino
an Office under the Federal Government This
clause in the Constitution is imperative and nor
to be disregarded. But the point that is perpex-
ing the authorities at the War Department is- az
to what would be the course to be pursued with
the governor himself

WILL BRING BACK REFUGEES.
The Oliyette Sails Under Spanish
Guarantee of safety

Tampa, Fla, April 17.-Arrangements
have been made by the Government with
the Plant system for the steamer Olivette
to go TO Matanzas to bring to the United
States the American citizens there desir-
ing to leave the island. President Plant
has been afraid to allow the Ohyette to
go to a Spanish port without guarantee
for her protection as well as that of the
crew. Such a guarantee could not be
given by the American Government at
this critical time. so President Plant him
self communicated with Capt. Gen. BIan-
co by cable regarding the matter. He
asked for permission for the Olivette to
land at MatanZaS to take on American
citizens who wanted to leave the island.
without the possibility of any molestation
from the Spanish authorities either at
that port or in Cuban waters
Gen. Blanco gave every assurance that
full protection would be given. The OIL
vette is now getting up steam and will
sail from Port Tampa about midnight
Spanish Consul Soils. who has been
authorized by his government to charter
a vessel to transport Spanish citizens
who desired to return to Cuba or Spain
has decided to take advantage of the sail
ing of the Olivette and will send on her
a large number of those to whom he has
issued passports. The consul thinks
that the number who will leave here on
account of threatening war will be less
than 500 or about one-third of the Span
iards here.
Those who will go are the poorer class
who fear that in the event of hostilities
the cigar factories would close and they
would be thrown out of employment.

Alexandria April T7.-Chief of Police
Webster this evening received a tele-

Lovelace Brown, the old colored man
who shot and killed his son at Nero
Postoffice, a few miles south of this city,
will be placed on trial at Fairfax Court
house tomorrow. Brown and his son. as
published in The Times, had a quarrel
about a load of fodder. Subsequently
they met in the road, when the difficulty
was renewed, terminating in the death of
the son. Brown claimed that the boy at
tempted to assault him with a board,
and in his effort to defend himself the
pistol was accidentally discharged. The
prisoner will be defended by Messrs. r.
Walton Moore, of Fairfax, and Mr.. John
NJ. Johnson, of this city. Chief Webster
and several members of the police force
have been summoned as witnesses in
the case.
1t is stated that the Italian school ship
Amerigo Vespucci will leave this port
tomorrow afternoon at o'clock for Phil
adelphia, Today several thousand visit
ors went aboard the vessel, special trains
and boats bringing many persons from

that it was found necessary by the Of

the ship at any one time. 1t was late
this afternoon before the crowds were
gotten ashore. The Italian officers were
entertained this afternoon by Capt E. S.
Randall at a shad bake at River View

SENIOR POLO READY TO LEAVE.
Nothing 40 BE Done But Ask for His
Passports.

Senior Polo y Barnabe, Spanish Minister
to the United States was not TO be seen
when a representative Of The Times
called upon him last evening. 1t was
stated that he was out and that all the
secretaries and under-secretaries of tsc
legation were out also. 1t was evident
that the gentleman from the barbarous
peninsula had given orders to deny him
self to The Times for there were bril-
liant lights in almost every window of
the residence such as would be expected
If every occupant was in and engaged in
the business of the hour.
The attache who responded to the call
stated that no preparations looking TO
removal from the city and from the
country had been made. ''Senor Polo
does not anticipate that he will have to
leave the country" he said.
but suppose war is declared?" was
asked.
The senor does not think that war will
be declared" responded the attache.
Does he not think that the Senate
meant what il said when ii passed that
resolution last night?'
There was no reply.
1t was stated that the armistice was
working well and that all fighting in the
island had ceased-"which was the OBJ
ject of the measure" was added.
How soon after war is declared does
Senor Polo intend to leave?"
81 don't know"
From the appearance of the hallway. in
the inner portions of which there were
several objects which indicated that prep
arations for a hasty departure were un-
der way, and from the general look of
that part of the interior which was visi-
BILE from the doorway, it is evident that
Senior Polo has done everything but ask
for his passports.

the Senate Resolution.


Judge Day called on the President yes
terday morning just before Mr.. McKin-

few moments, and last evening would
not say what transDired at the interview.
What is the attitude of the President
toward che joint resolution. as it passed
the Senate last night?" was asked
II really do not know" he replied
Judge Day said that he had heard moth
ing from the powers and that he did not
know that there We're any new features
in the situation which would change its
present conditions.
"Have you received any intimation
from Madrid which would lead you to be-
lieve that the conditions to be imposed
upon Spain will be acceded to without re-
source to war; was next asked
None, whatever was the reply.
There was a conference at the Shore
ham yesterday morning. at which Speak
er Reed Gen. Grosvenor Representative
Boutelle and one or two others were
present. Neither of these gentlemen
would say what the subject discussed
was, but it is believed, from the season
of precipitate hustle into which Mr.
Reeds leutenants entered Immediately
after the confab, that the august gentle
man from Maine had received instruc-
tions to make a final effort tolwhip the
Republicans in the lower chamber into
some semblance of acceptance of the will
or. more properly, the lack of will-ot
the Executive, with a view to refusing to
concur in the war resolution of the Sen
ate. 1t is evident that the Administra-
ton intends to prepare to make Il final
appeal like unto that of Mr.. Hale on
