TWO SESSIONS OF
SENATE COMMITTEE
A Perfect Understanding Between the
President and His Supporters.
THE NEGOTIATIONS WITH SPAIN
Mr.. Mckinley Admits That They Are
Rapidly Approaching IA Crisis and
That n Conclusion Would BE
Reached by Friday Night at the
Lntest-- --Committee in sympathy
with the President.

Washington. March 30.-The senate
committee on foreign relations held
two sessions today and adjourned at
5 o'clock.
The committee as a result of its ses-
sion agreed to postpone the completion
of the committees work on the Cuban
situation for a few days in order to
afford time to the president to con-
tinue his diplomatic negotiations with
the Spanish authorities. This conces-
sion was the result of request made
direct to members of the committee by
the president and it was granted by
the entire committee without any
murmur of dissent.
Previous to this action on the part
of the committee the president had
been very frankly Informed that nei-
ther the committee nor the senate
would be disposed to acquiesce in any
agreement for an armistice. This OPP
position is understood to have been
made clear on behalf of the joint Re-
publican and Democratic steering
committees of the senate, and it is un-
derstood to have been met by the pres
ident with the response that this gov
ernr ent would not press the matter
visiting senators that the negotiations
with Spain were rapidly approaching
a crisis and said that he felt quite con-
fldent a conclus y would be reached
by Friday night at the latest. lie ask
ed that in view of this fact no action
be taken by either house until after
that time or until the present nego-
tiations could be brought to a close.

confidence as to the basis upon which
he was proceeding they did not repeat
the information in the senate. Some
intimated a belief in the authenticity
of a proposition to allow the pur-
chase of the freedom of the island,
but declined in all cases to state
whether this belief was based upon
statements made by the president.
The representations were. however,
of a character to satisfy the commit
tee, and when it adjourned one Of it's
members who is among the most rad
ical of Cuban sympathizers, stated
that the committee was operating in
perfect sympathy with the president.
It's members feel that they will be free
| to act when the president indicates a
! failure of present negotiations with
/ Spain.
They think these negotiations are
for the freedom of Cuba and If they do
| not so result they expect to report very
| promptly a joint resolution looking tn
| that end.
! The actual proceedings of the com
mittee today consisted of a general
exchange of views concerning the sit
uation and the proper course to he
pursued by the committee; Of the re-
ference of the various Cuban resolu-
tions to a subcommittee; Of the read
ing Of a part of the testimony Of the
Maine court of inquiry and Of an OK
animation of Commander bradford
chief of the bureau of equipment, con-
cerninG the relative strength nf our
navy compared with that of Spain.

HOT FIGHTING ON THE NILE.
Deryish Outpost captured by Angio-
iig ptian Forces.


Cairo, March 30.--It is officially an
nounced today that the gunboats and
Anglo Egyptian troops attacked Shendy
on Saturday, destroying the forts, cap
turing quantities of grain, cattle and
ammunition and liberating over 600
slaves.
The Dervishes lost 1GO men. There
were no casualties on the Anglo Egyp-
tian side.
Shendy was taken by chips. The gum
boats with the battalion of Egyptians
on board ascended the Nile from the
mouth of the Atbara river, and arrived
at Shendy at dawn on Saturday. The
gunboats shelled the forts, and then
the battalion was landed and attacked
the town by flank movement. The
Dervish garrison was completely rout-
ed, the Egyptians pursuing them for
twenty miles.
The capture of Shendy was a bril-
. liant manoeuvre, as the main body of
Dervishes, who advanced against the
Anglo Egyptian forces from Shendy, is
now cut off from its base, and it's re-
serve depot is destroyed.
The Dervishes who advanced against
the Anglo Egyptian army are in
trenched at Ell Hilgi, on the Atbara
river.
They are suffering severely from lack
of food, and are subsisting on palm
nuts. The destruction of their supplies
at Shendy will compel them to give
battle, for which the Anglo Egyptian
expedition has been eagerly waiting
News of a crushing defeat of the Der
wishes is expected here hourly.

o'clock tomorrow taere will he a hi.al

The proposition which Spain will an
swer covers two points only and its
publication will be a revelation to some
of those abroad who have been de-
nouncing Americas aggressive att-
tude II is as follows:
Spain to proclaim Immediately an
armistice in Cuba to last until Octo-
ber, during which interval the United
States will use its good offices with the
insurgents to make this temporary
peace permanent; and, second, Spain
to do her best toward relieving suffer-
ing and starvation on the island, with
America to be allowed to assist in this
work.
Washington, March 30-The above
dispatcn was shown to an official of
the administration whose position is
such as to give weight to his utter
ances. He said that in view of today's
events, the Madrid statement of the
presidents proposition was not to be
taken seriously. The armistice scheme
referred to was the very one which had
almost caused an open revolt in con-
press. The administration was quoted
as saying today that an armistice
would not be pressed. The probable
explanation was that the armistice
story had been circulated by the gov
ernment in Madrid for home consump-
ton.

is purported to be remarkable cure
by prayer was accomplished here to-

weeks has been bedfast with nervous
prostration, and much of the time de-

This morning a party of friends
gathered in her bedroom and prayed
for the girl, at the conclusion of which
one of them commanded the girl to
arise. She did SO apparently sound in
mind and body. although when the di-
vine healers came into the room she
was delirious. Miss Swartz declares
that the cure is permanent.
