permitted to swerve him ia the least

authority for stating that the president
viii not hesitate n moment as TO his
future course, but will Immediately lay
the whole record before congress and be
guided by It's Instructions.
AS n preliminary step toward peace,
Il has been proposed TO Spain, though
this last proposition has not taken the
shape of a demand as yet at least that
the Spanish government withdraw It's
troops from the island and that the Gu
bans be given their Independence ON a
basis of indemnity that would be re-
garded as just In amount by the Unit
ed States and other nations of tho world
and fair TO both contending parties.
The question OF an armlstice has not
been agreed TO by either this country
or Spain though there is no doubt that
! Spain suggested an armistice. What
terms Of peace viii be acceptable to the
president cannot be stated, but 1t is as
serted that no proposition will be con-
sidered that does not involve the prac-
tical if not the actual independence Of
the Cubans. Under these circumstances
the members of the administration
think 1t only fair TO the president that
the people should wait with patience
the result Of the pending negotiations.

Omces TO Settle Spanish Trouble.
WASHINGTON, March 8O.-There is
little doubt that the French govern
ment is ready to tender its good offices
as mediator between the United States
and Spain II any intimation is con-
veyed by this country that such Of
fees would be acceptable. Without
such intimation It Is doubtful whether
France will take the initiative.
In diplomatic circles it is pointed out
that the interests of France, both ma
terial and sentimental favor an avoid
ance Of war. One material reason Is
that France IS preparing for the inter-
national exposition, when the worlds
travel VIII be turned toward the French
capital IL Is said that war at such a
time would be seriously prejudicial to
this great project.
Another material interest affecting
France is that her citizens own many
Spanish securities. so that any decline
resulting from war would fan largely
on French capitalists. While these are
important considerations urging France
TO avert hostillties. yet they are not of
course such as could be advanced as the
actual grounds for tender of good Of
Gces such a move would be promised
solely on sentimental grounds-namely
on the friendship Of France for both
parties engaged in the controversy.

WASHINGTON, March SO,-At the
army department the most important
development of the day was the an
nounoement that the Twenty-fifth regi-
ment OF infantry, now stationed in
Montana, would be transferred to Dry
Tortugas, IN the gulf of Mexico This
regiment Is composed entirely Of colored
men, who have been located In the
northwest for a number of years. Their
stay in the gulf climate will prepare
them for any service in Cuba should
this be necessary.
The troops viii first go to Key West.
IL may be that the department Will
keep some of them there and send only
portion of the regiment TO Tortugas
but this has not been determined def
nitely.
The ordnance officials Of the army re-
port that the firms which have been
given contracts for supplying ammu-
milton, guns, projectlles and gun car
riages are keeping we'll to their prom
ises IN the matter of supplying these
munitions Of war on time. and they are
being hurried to the Notifications need

gineers Of the army has asked for an

Rker Of Ohio then introduced a resolu-
tion declaring for such Intervention In
the Cuban war as would bring about In
dependence Of the Cubans. Following
this came "a resolution by MIR. Frye of
Maine demanding that Cuba be made
free. The resolutions followed one an
other so rapidly as almost to stun the
auditors. both senators and spectators.
The galleries We're in n commotion and
the people were prepared for anything.
This was the condition when the vice
president recognized Mr. Mason of Illl-
nois for his announced speech on the
presidents message transmitting to
congress the findings of the Maine court
of Inquiry Mr.. Mason read his speech
from manuscript, but 1t was delivered
with all the vigor and fire OF which he
Is capable The Intensity OF the feeling
Of those in the galleries was evlnced by
the storm OF applause which was elicit
ed by his declaration that he was for
war Vice President Hobart had great
difficulty in suppressing the demonstra-
ton.
on the house side It was apparent
that the Republican majority could no
longer be controlled by what is known
as the conservative element. led by the
speaker. Groups OF members IN a state
OF excitement were 70 be seen on every
hand. In each cloakroom there were
members listening eagerly while por-
tlons Of the Maine testimony were read.
Members of the committee on foreign
AFFAIRS grouped together and discussed
plans and possible future proceedings.
IL was generally Acknowledged that a
serious condition had arisen; that
crisis was soon at hand II was the
opinion Of some Of the conservative
members that In n day or two the feel
ing would suhside and members would
not be so agltated. Much depends upon
the next few days.
That congress will not long remain
inactive If some decided action Is not
taken by the administration is certain.
II is also true that the talk OF an ar
mistice caused great deal OF in feel
ing. The house proceeded TO do bust
ness without outbreak or without
dramatic incident but no such quiet
can be promised when the naval bin Is
being considered. The day closed with
prospect that the committees to which
were referred the Maine correspondence
