Washington, April 10.-The cabinet after a three hours special session, called by the president in view of an armistice issued by the Spanish gov ernment, adjourned about 1:40 o'clock. The proposal for all armistice, it was subsequently, announced by one of the members, had not changed the situa- tion in the slightest degree and the presidents message would go into congress tomorrow notwithstanding the armistice decision of the Spanish government
 There will be another meeting of the cabinet to review finally the presi- dents message before it goes to con- gress with the changes made at to- days session
 Upon the presumption that Spain's offer of an armistice to the Cuban in- surgents will make no change in the plans of the administration, and that the presidents message will go to con- gress tomorrow, the house this week will make history. In anticipation of stirring scenes and momentous action every congressman has been besieged by hundreds of friends for tickets to the reserved galleries and the general multitude that must take its chances in the public galleries on the principle of first come, first served, are pre- pared to assault the capitol at dawn tomorrow. It is likely that hundreds will camp out on the marble steps all night, so intense is the desire to be present when the message is read.
 The public generally regards the message as the prologue to drama which may end in war before the cur tain goes down. After the message is read tomorrow it will probably be re- ferred to the committee on foreign re- lations without debate. Such is the programme to which both sides have practically assented, with the tacit un- derstanding that the committee will report on Tuesday the resolutions upon which the house will be expected tc act. Any individual attempt to frus- trate this part of the programme vii prove abortive.
 With the gravity of the situation confronting them the members of bott sides have been sobered, and seen impressed with the idea that things should proceed in a regular and orderly way. It seems almost certain thai there will be a conflict both in com mittee and house as to the nature o the resolutions upon which the house will be called upon to act. Individual contest will be between those who de sire to follow what Is now generally accepted as the presidents recon mendation, armed intervention, ant

London, April 10.-A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Gibraltar says that the Spanish cruisers Cristobal Colon and Infanta Maria Teresa have left Cadiz for a destination undi- vulged, with six battalions, each one thousand strong.

those who desire the recognition of the Cuban republic.
 The democrats, both of the commit tee and the house, have taken an unequivocal position for the recog- milton of independence, although there is a difference of opinion as to whether intervention should follow A major ity of the republicans of the commit tee have within few days declared themselves for intervention and in- Quigg of New York, and Henry of In- diana, while they do not favor the recognition of the existing republic, have earnestly advocated a declaration to the effect that Spain's dominion ever the island cease, leaving to the future the question of the actual gov ernment of the island But it is the desire of the republicans of both houses to secure harmony of action, and some of the advocates of inde- pendence have about come to the con- clusion that the difference between armed intervention and recognition is more technical than substantial, as unless the island should be annexed, to which they are opposed, a republican form of government for the island must follow.
 It seems probable that existing diff ferences may at least to some extent be adjusted and whether all of the republicans agree to the resolution declaring for intervention only or not, such resolution will be reported. It seems equally certain that a resolu- tion for independence, possibly coupled with intervention, will be presented by the minority.
 No definite arrangements have been made as to debate, but there seems to be no demand for prolonged time. MT | Bailey of the minority thinks two days | ought to suffice, and scne of the re- publicans think our action would be strengthened if there were no debate at all. Two days seems to be the general opinion as to the length oi debate. There probably will be con. siderable pressure for time for brie1 speeches. Many members desire tc
 bury their hatchets in a painted wal post. But there is solid ground fol difference as to the character of tho resolutions on the question as to tht possible liability of the United State: for Spanish bonds based on Cuban rev enues, in event of intervention with out recognition and this will be thor oughly discussed.
 Whatever time is not occupied by tn, Cuban question will be devoted to tht consideration of contested election cases and general deficiency bill.

QUESTIONING.


1 laid myself on the couch she had
left, but not to sleep. a new pulse or
life, stronger than l could bear, was
throbbing within me. l dreaded n
fever, lest / should talk in it, and drop
the clew to my secret treasure. But
the light Of the morning stilled me,
and a bath in ice-cold water made me
strong again. Yet l felt all that day
rs if l were dying a delicious death
and going to 4 yet more exquisite life.
AS far as l might, however, l repress-
ed all indications Of my delight; and
endeavored, for the sake both of duty
and prudence, to be as attentive to
my pupils and their studies as it was
possible for man to be. This helped to
keep me in my right mind. But, more
than all my efforts III exposure, the
pain which, as far as my experience
goes. invariably accompanied. and
sometimes even usurps. the place of
the pleasure which gave it birth, was
etficacious in keeping me sane.
Night came, but brought no Lady
Alice. 1t was week before | saw her
again. Her heart had been stilled, and
she was able to sleep Alright.
But seven nights after, she did come.
l waited her awaking. possesseu with
one painful thought, which | longed to
impart to her. She awoke with a
smile. covered her face for q moment,
but only for a moment, and then sat
up. ! stood before her, and the first
words l spoke were:-
Lady Alice, ought l not to goT
NO" she replied at once. Il can
claim some compensation from them
for the wrong they have been doing
me. Do you know In what relation

are but my step-mother and her hus-
band"
Il know that"

about which l never thought or cared
-till-within the last few weeks.
Lord Hilton is my guardian. Whether
they made me the stupid creature |
was, do not know; but believe they
have represented me us far worse than
l was. to keep people from making my
acquaintance. They prevented me 60

getting to understand things and grow
like other people, and that would not
suit their purposes 1t would be false

Once more she covered her face
with her hands. l could answer only
by withdrawing one of them. which
| was now emboldened to hold in my

1 was very willingly persuaded to
what was so much in my own desire.
But whether the reasoning was quite
Just or not, l am not yet sure. Per
haps it might be 30 for her. and yet
not for me. l do not know; l am n
poor casuist.
She resumed, laying her other hand
upon mine:
1T would be to tell the soul which
you have called forth. to go back into
its dark moaning cavern, and never
more come out to the light of day"
How could l resist this.
A long pause ensued.
"It is strange" she said, at length.

without knowing how. 1t is strange
too. that, although should be utterly
ashamed to come Willingly. 1 feel no
confusion when l find myself here.
When l feel myself coming awake, I
lie for a little while with my eyes
closed, wondering and hoping, and
afraid to open them. lest 1 should find
myself only in my own chamber;
shrinking little, too-just a little
from the first glance into your face
But when you awake, do you know
nothing of what has taken place In

Nothing whatever"
Have you no We que sensations, no
haunting shadows, no dim, ghostly
moods, seeming to belong to that con-
dition, left?'

she rose, said Goodnight" and left
me.
