The President AbandOns Hope
For Peace.
Now Believes That War Cannot
Be Ayerted.
NOTE OF THE POWERS
Had No Effect ON the Existing
Situation.
Lee VIII Surely Leave Havana
Tomorrow.
NOTE OF THE POWERS
NEGOTIATIONS ENDED.
Nothing More is Being Received
From Spain.

Washington, April S.-The cabinet
meeting occupied a little more than an
hour and a half. 1t was chiefly devoted
to an informal discussion of the situa-
ton. The presidents demeanor was
grave throughout and the proceedings
indicated that there was no expectation
on the part of the administration that
war would be averted. 1t can be posi-
lively stated that there was no fresh
development in the situation brought to
the attention of the cabinet, nor any
dispatches, or communications of any
sort placed before it.
The joint note of the powers was con-
sidered but that it will have practically
no effect on the situation as it now ex-
lists was plainly evident. Consul Cen
eral Lee, it was reiterated would surely
leave Havana Saturday, according to
the cabled instructions. Just when Gen.
Woodford is expected to vacate his post
is not ascertainable. Owing to the
complete formulation of policy and the
absence of an over night development,
the entire meeting was devoted to dis
cussion, including the safety of Ameri-
cans and the fruitless last session of
the Spanish cabinet.

PROPOSED BOND ISSUE
For War Purposes Will Be
From $3OO,OOO,OOO to
$5OO,OOO,OOO.

Washington, April S.-A rough esti-
mate of receipts to be derived from the
proposed war revenue measure is that
the increase on the articles named will
approximate, if not exceed, 500, 900, 900
a year.
Beer, it is thought, will produce an
increase of $500, ,OOO. 900; manufactured
tobacco an increase of $33, ,0OO 900 or
more, commercial paper and patent
medicines $32, ,000, ,0O0. Another source of
revenue, which it is said it is almost
certain to be availed of, is transactions
in railroad and other listed stocks It
IS believed that the returns from this
source Will be large. In ali. the fig1ring
so far, the remaining industries and
the professions which are taxed for
strictly war revenues during the rebel
lion have been left out of the account
Am increase of from to 8 cents on let

department, but these items have NOT

from $500, 000, 900 to $500 600, 600 at 8 per

by the ways and means committee and

AFITTING MEMORIAL
To Mrs. Thurston by the People of
Nebraska

Omaha, Neb, April Son March IL
the late Mrs. John NJ. Thurston, whose
home was in this city, made plea for
the starving people of Cuba Three
days later Mrs. Thurston died, but in
response to her appeal the state of her
adoption, assisted by western Iowa
and South Dakota today sent to the
Cubans a train of % cars loaded with
food supplies. The Omaha World
Herald undertook the task of collecting
supplies and cash in response to Mrs.
Thurston'S appeal and the call for do
nations was quickly and bountifully
answered. Mass meetings were held
all over Nebraska, entertainments were
given and collections taken, and all in
less than three weeks the World-Herald
had collected 81, 600 in cash and sew
eral tons of provisions. A considerabl
portion of the cash collections was ex-
pended for meats and flour and the to-
tai provisions filed % large freight cars
to their utmost capacity. In addition
to the train load of supplies a check for
So 200 was sent to Stephen E. Barton,
chairman of the central Cuban relief
committee, at New York City, to whom
the food supplies were also consigned.
The supply train was handsomely deco
rated with flags and banners and at $3.50
this afternoon left the Western street
depot via the Missouri Pacific for ST
Louis The Wabash takes the train
to Buffalo and the Delaware, Lackawan-
ma & Western carries it from that point
to New York City.
Ten thousand people gathered at the
depot to see the train which will run
special to New York, depart. The Red
Cross was displayed upon the doors of
the cars and placards announced that
the train was a memorial to Mrs
Thurston. Great enthusiasm was dis
PLAYED by the crowd that witnessed the
departure of the splendid train and re-
ports from all along the Missouri Pa
cific in Nebraska are to the effect that
crowds appear upon every depot plat
form to cheer the train as it passed.
The total value of the cargo is estimat-
ed at S22 600. Tt is made up of bacon.

milks. medicines and canned goods.

In the Testimony Regarding

But Will Leave the Telling to
General Lee.

Washington, April S.-Represertative
Lorimer of Illinois is authority for the
statement that General Lee will make
some startling disclosures before the SEN
ate committee on foreign relations when
he arrives here regarding the conspiracy
to blow up the Maine. 1t was announced
on yesterday that General Lee would be
called before the committee, but the ma
ture of the testimony expected from him
was not disclosed. ST understand that
General Lee is to supply the missing link
in the testimony said he. my informa-
ton is that Captain Sigsbee is in posses
sion of the facts, but does not feel at lib
erty to give them until the person who
gave them to him releases him from the
secrecy imposed. That person, I under
stand, is General Lee.'

SALE OF CUBAN BONDS.
Only $4,000 Worth Have Been
Disposed Of

Washington, April 8-The foreign af-
fairs committee of the house met at IL
o'clock this morning and continued the
hearing of Mr.. Quesada, the representa-
tive of the Cuban republic in this city.
President Palma, of the Cuban junta,
was also present. Mr.. Quesada, contin-
ued his statement as to the status of
the government of the republic.
The deputy treasurer of the Cuban re-
public appeared with his books and
they were inspected by the committee.
He explained that of the $40, 600, 600
bonds authorized only $1,000 had act
ually been disposed of. Some of these
were in payment of provisions sent to
Cuba. For some of the bonds par
had been obtained. These were taken
mainly by the friends of Cuba. The
25 cents on the dollar, a batch of $4,000
were sold for IS 900 in pressing erner-
gency. One million of the bonds, he
said were locked up in the safe of Bel
mont & Co., of New York, to be sold
when the fixed price, As cents on tb>
dollar had been obtained Three mil
lions of the remainder had been signed
but were locked up in the treasurer'i
vaults.
The deputy treasurer was asked if he
knew the story of the publication of
the De LONE letter and without names,
he told the first authentic story Of how
it was obtained. He explained that it
was distracted by a clerk in the post
office at Havana, who was in sympathy
with the Cuban cause and sent back to
New York. Its Importance was realized
the action being justified because it
showed conclusively what the Cubans
had always contended, that Spain was
double dealing.

SITUATION GRAVE.
The Differences Between the Two Ma
tions IrreconcilabIe.

Washington, April S.-The Spanish
American situation is regarded today as
even more grave than at any time here
tofore. Though the views of peace
heretofore entertained have given way
to the conviction that the issue between
the United States and Spain has become
well nigh irreconcilable. The prepara-
ton for all eventualitieS is proceeding
steadily. One significant evidence in
this direction developed today when it
was learned that the United States con-
his post. 1t is expected that Gen. Lee
will take the boat from Havana tomor-
row noon. Whether he will leave the
vice consul, or other subordinate tenn
porarily in charge is not known. Con-
siderable depends upon this his re-
tirement with his entire staff would
mean the complete termination of all
official communication between the Uni
ted States and the island The determ-
inatiOn to have the consul at Porto Rico
leave indicates that the government is
not alone turning it's attention to Cuba
but to Spain's other colonies of the
West Indies. There is no insurrection
in Porto Rico known here. Nor has the
future of that island figured prominent
ly of late but it's future naturally to a
large extent would follow that of Cuba.
The probability that the Spanish tor
pedo fleet will rendezvous at Porto
Rico, may have contributed to the de-
termination to withdraw the United
States consul there.
Inquiry at the foreign embassies and
legations today made it plain that the
action of the great powers yesterday
in presenting a joint note to President
Mckinley urging peace constituted all
that these powers will do. There is no
present purpose to take further action,
or to follow up this guarded diplomatic
utterance with any suggestion of medi-
alton or Intervention. 1t was stated to-
day by influential members of the di-
plomatic corps that the joint note con-
tanned nothing between the lines which
indicated a further purpose.

BRYAN AT INDIANAPOLIS.
Addresses an Immense Crowd on the
Currency Question.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 8.-An audi
ence of between 5000 and 10000 people
greeted w. J. Bryan at Tomlinson hall
last night.
Mr.. Bryan was rendered an ovation.
He spoke for an hour and a half main
ly on the currency question. He touch
ed on the Cuban question occasionally
He said that his life had all been spent
since the war, and that he had always
heard it insinuated that the Democrats
were not as patriotic as they should be.
He was sure that the patriotism of
Democrats had been demonstrated in
the Cuban situation. He commended
the course of Consul General Lee in
the highest terms.
''WhiIe we are talking about freeing
Cuba" said he, "let US not forget that
we have a work to do in freeing Amer
ica.'
In the afternoon Chairman Towne of
the National Silver Republican commit
tee, spoke, arraigning the Indianapolis
sound money movement.
At o'clock Mr.. Bryan and other
prominent visitors were given a recep-
ton by the Commercial Club and Board
of Trade, when Mr.. Bryan, Chairman
Towne and George Fred Williams spoke
to the business men. Mr.. Williams said
that the invitation to speak before a
commercial club was one that would not
be extended to him in New England,
owing to his beliefs on the money queS-
ton.

SPANISH NAVY IN ACTION.
Report That Fleet IS to Leave Cadiz is
Denied.

New York, April S.-A dispatch to the
World from Cadiz, Spain, says:
The report that the squadron of evo-
luton and the second flotilla are about
to sail for Cuba or Porto Rico, is abso-
lutely false.
Positive orders have been sent to the
Cape Verde islands for the torpedo
squadron to stay there. 1t was contem-
plated to send the squadron of Admiral
Cervera to join it. On the contrary Vii
lamiFS squadron is expected to return
here.
Neither of the squadrons gathering
here is anything like ready for sea.
Neither is assembled yet, and no orders
have been received from the marine
minister to move either squadron.
The only instructions which really
have been given to Admiral Churruca,
commanding at CadiZ, are to push prep
aratiOns as fast as possible.
A dispatch to the World from st.
Vincent, Cape Verde islands, says: The
Spanish torpedo fiotilla, in command of
Commodore Villamil, is still here, ready
to put to sea, but awaiting orders from
Madrid.

AT BOILING POINT.
Excitement in Spain Has Be-
come Intense.

Madrid, April 8.-An extraordinary cab
met council has been summoned. The ses-
sion has created more pessimistic impress
sions. The ministers refuse to furnish
any explanation. The excitement in Spain
has reached the boiling point, but there
are no demonstra tions recorded anywhere
yet.
All the steamship firms of Valencia
have offered all their vessels as privateers
and number of ship captains have called
upon the naval commander at Barcelona
asking for letters of marque. Similar re-
quests have been received from abroad
especially from France. The offers of
money from the provinces toward the
fund to increase the strength of the navy
are said to be encouraging the govern
ment. 1t is said that Biscay alone has
offered over q. 900. 900 pesetas

fore then would be prejudicial to the gov
The ministers at yesterdays cabinet
councils considered General Woodford's
Withdrawal note, the collective action of
else which has not yet transpired. The
greatest curiosity is felt regarding this
unknown subject, but rigid silence is
maintained regarding it. 1t is supposed
not to concern another note from General
Woodford.
His communications yesterday were
limited to his withdrawal note. 1t is
also said the unknown subject of delib-
Grafton was not a Spanish note to the
United States, as it is claimed Spain
is neither sending, nor intending to send
one Finally it is asserted that it was
not the collective action of the powers
which formed the subject for delibera-
tion.
Spain at present being, according to
the official points of view a spectator,
and not an agent in the negotiations, it
is intinated that the secret matter re-
fers to something officially" formulated
by the pope.
The Impartial thinks the delay in the
presentation of President McKinley'S
message to congress is a good sign, but
it adds:
Nobody is under any illusions re-
specting the American policy. If peace
full prospects predominant, they do so
for reasons beyond Yankee control
The impartial also says it considers
the action of the powers in Offering
their good offices" as being favorable
to Spain.

WAR TAX BILL
Is Being Formulated by Mr..
Dingley's Committee.

Washington, April S.-The members
of the ways and means committee of
the house are busily engaged with the
treasury officials in the work prelimina-
ry to the drafting of a war revenue
measure to be introduced in congress
Immediately upon the opening of hos
tilities with Spain.
An increase in the internal revenue
on beer from 81 to 81 barrel and a
large increase in the tax on manufac-
tured tobacco, including cigars and ci-
garettes, has been practically agreed
upon. Bank checks, bills of exchange,
drafts, deeds, mortgages and other pa
pers of this class, patent medicines and
nostrums in all probability also will be
added to the list.

IT'S NO USE.
Spain Decides That Further Negotia-
tions Would be Fruitless.

Madrid, April s.-A cabinet minister,
in an interview on the present situation,
says:
All the ministers have sunk their in
dividual opinions and are working
unanimously in the interest of the
country 1t is entirely useless to at
tempt to arrange compromise in the
face of the attitude of America, which
has decided to seek e. rupture at any
cost. The Spanish government would
weaken itself by concessions antagonis-
tic to public sentiment. Neither the
government nor the country desires
war, but the government must save
Spain's honor.
IF President Mckinley succeeds in
withStanding congress, it will certainly
be an indication favorable to peace If
he does not succeed, it will be because
he has lost control of the situation in
which case the Spanish concessions
are absolutely useless"
