A VITAL QUESTION.
Critics Are Now intent Upon the Col
legc Woman ond the
"Unuuiet Sex"

The problem, What is to be done with
the college woman? has of late been
troubling critics and reviewers. Much
discussion of the question has perhaps
given the public mistaken idea that
she does not know what to DO with her
self. AS a matter Of fact during her
undergraduate life and after, she Is too
busy to be seriously troubled about the
uses of her existence, and nobody is less
perplexed in regard to her future than
she is. In college, the serious under
current of life and the bright life out
of doors and in, absorb her. 1t is only
when she is forced into 1t by pressure
from outside that she becomes self-con
scious, and stops to wonder if she is
little queer" Tha, she is being slowly
awakened to sense OF her supposed
antagonism between domestic and intel
lectua! pursuits is eyinced by few faint
signs, such, for instance, as the debate
held not long ago at Vassar on the prob
lem: docs a college education unfit
men for domestic life?" The question
was decided in the affirmative, result
which shows, perhaps, that the college
woman is beginning to share in the de-
preston of the world at large in regard
to this matter, Hlt on the whole she
realizes more clearly than does the pub
lie that the amount of learning acquired
in the average college course is not like
~ to prove a serious obstacle in any
walk in life. 1t is not the representa-
tives of the so-called "unquietsex" who
place undue emphasis on the college
training they receive. For that en-
phasis, the %'eternal masculine" in the
world at large Is responsible.-Marga-
ret Sherwood, in Scribner's.

WILL BE FATE
FUL MONDAY.
Washington, March 20.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The committee
representing the Republicans in the House
who favor prompt action in the Spanish
crisis. waited on the President at 8 p. m.
The committee reported to the confer
ence at meeting held after the adjourn
ment. They stated that the President
made rank declaration as to what was
taking place between the two govern
ments and concluded with these words:
IT pray God that We may be able to
keep peace.
The impression left with the delega-
tion. however, was that he did not expect
a peaceful adjustment. In strictest con.
fidence Mr. Mckinley outlined the course
of communications between Washington
and Madrid. He stated that all now de-
pended on dispatches to be communi.
Gated and received probably within 4s
hours. The response of Spain to mes
sage cabled by this government was
expected hourly and surely would be re-
ceiyed within "a hours After it arrived
it would be necessary for this country
to send another cable note as reply to
Madrid. All this might be accomplished
in less than 4s hours. He therefore inti-
mated that it would be gratifying if
Congress deferred taking action until
next week. 1t was finally concluded to
defer action until after the adjournment
of the House Monday.

NOT DISPOSED TO AccEDE.
Senior sagasta Says That Personally He Is
Opposed to Yielding.

Madrid, March 31.-At the conference
yesterday between Senior Sagasta, the
premier, and Senor Canazo and Senior
SiIvela, leader of the dissident conser-
vatives, the premier unfolded the terms
proposed by United States Minister Wood
ford, and the opposition leaders counsellsd
their rejection. Senior Sagasta replied
that, personally, he was not disposed to
accede to them. He added that he would
like to submit the question of the loss OF
the Maine. which was not touched upon
al. his conference with Gen. Woodford to
the European powers.
The feeling in Madrid today is pessimis.
tic. The newspapers here are Ignorant
of the actual proposals OF the United
States and are urging no surrender.
The Heraldo independent, and the
Naccional (conservative), opposed even
the suggested armistice and the Correo
Ciberal,) makes furious appeal to Don
Carlos.
The rush for seats for the performance
at the Royal theatre in behalf Of the
Spanish navy increases. The Queen
had paid $4,000 pesetas for box, the
Spanish ministry paid 5000 pesetas Tor
a box, several capitalists are taking stalls
at 10000 pesetas, the Countess Bornes
paid 100, 600 pesetas, the Marquise La
Guiana paid 25, 600 pesetas, the Bank of
Spain paid 800, GOO pesetas, and other
organizations and individuals paid an
enormous sum.

CAPTAIN sIGsBEE ASSIGNED.

Washington, March 31.-Apparently

SHIPSPREPARED
TO FIGHT.

Key West, March 31.-Every prepara-
tion for action was taken by the warships
today. The wood work was stripped off
exposed spots and sent ashore. The
wood pilot houses on the cruisers were
taken down. To certain extent interi-
or wood work was also removed and sent
ashore.
removed from some of the ships. These
precautions have been adopted to prevent,
SO far as possible, the danger of flying
splinters in case of action.
The officers sent their personal yalu-
ables and belongings to be stored on shore.
The Castine and two torpedo boats left
their anchorages after dark and steamed
to the southwark, where they will patrol
during the night. This precaution was
ordered by Capt. Sampson. He is partiou-
Iarly anxious to watch closely the Ha.
vana entrance to this harbor and also to
afford additional safety for the Iowa,
Indiana and New York, which lie un-
protected six miles out, The naval sta
tion officials have received orders to over
haul their marine engineering stock so
that it could be used instantly in case of
emergency. Torpedo boats not engaged
in patrolling tonight made another at
tack on the battleships, but all these
measures were guarded with the greatest
secrecy.
The establishment of patrol is con-
sidered by the few who know of it as
most significant. The entire fleet is now
in readiness to move at Is minutes no.
tice, but no movement is expected to oc-
cur until Saturday or later.
The eunboat Annapolis has left for
Brooklyn. The five bodies from the
Maine wreck brought here last night,
were buried today with the usual simple
ceremony and without incident
Spains answer and the subs equent
action of Congress are the all absorbing
topics of conversation.

SPANISH PREMIER SAGASTA.

4, steps of q decisive character
| Said prominent diplomat todays
"Spain seems to be under the impression
| that the national honor forbids her from
| surrender1ng any part of her colonial
domain under the pressure of the United
| States. There are, however, precedents
| showing that European powers have
| preserved their dignity while making
! similar concessions, ceding territory not
directly, but through a third power.
Congress win wait until Monday before
| any action is taken. The President has
asked delay until that time.
Both committees of Congress dealing
with foreign affairs were in session today.
The Senate committee continued it's

and the House committee by party
vote. refused to take any action on Cuba
until Monday.
The Senate committee agreed to, and
Senator Lodge reported bill appropriat-
| ing $500, GOO to purchase one or two more
of the Danish West Indies to be used
for naval purposes.
The Senate committee had before it
Capt. Sigsbee Of the ill-fateo Maine and
Capt. Barker, Secretary Longs naval aid.
What those officers told the committee

Ter an interview with the President, re-
ported to the conference in what he WAS
doing and stated that they had agreed to
treat as confidential such communica-
tions as the President made to them.
| There was spirited debate in the House
of a partisan nature and its effect has
been to solidify the parties, the Republic
cans to await the action by the President
and the Democrats to force the Cuban
question to the 'front.'.
The most important action taken by
the navy department. today was the de-
termination TO have the naval militia OF
the several states prepare for immediate
service should this be found necessary.
Letters will be sent to she governors
and to the adjutant generals of all states
where there are naval militia organiza-
tions asking them to set in motion the
machinery for drilling and equipping the
state organizations promptly SO that. they

BLANCO IN OPTIMISTIC MOOD.

Madrid, March 3l.-After the cabineh
nesting today which was presided over
by the Queen Regent the ministers had
another hours conference, after which
the following semi-official note was is
sued:
Captain General Blanco telegrapbs on
account of glorious combat of Gen:
Luque against the insurgents commanded
by Calixto Garcia, and also makes excel
lent reports of the progress of the opera
tions, setting forth that the PUBLICATIONS
are SO advanced in the western province
that the concentration of the peasants
has been revoked. Public works are also
being commenced to give employment
to all applicants. Hi visw of this new
and important submissions are expected.
The minister of public works in an in
terivew today said the last "a hours had

ton. Whom the minister was asked if he
meant OIL account Of the news from
Washington, he replied: mo. our feelings

Senator Hanna, Secretary Alger, Secfe-

Day. Assistant Secretary Of State Adee to
whom was confided the translation OF the
message, Senators Spooner and Aldrlch.
| There was an intensely expectant crowd
of newspaper correspondents larger than
often gathers at the White House at
night. waiting in the lobby outside the
Presidents office. But they were destined
to disappointment, for after the telegraph
instrument had steadily clattered for half
an hour, Mr.. Porter. the Presidents sec
rotary appeared with the announcement
from Secretary Day that it was impossible
to translate the message in time to give
out any statement tonight. The telegraph
instrument was still clicking when the
correspondents filed out, indicating that
the message was at least quite lengthy.
This has been day of anxious waiting
for Spains reply to the demands OF the
United States contemplating the termlna-
ton of the war in Cuba and the indie
pendence of the island. On that reply 1t
was universally believed the issue be-
tween peace or war would be decided, un-
less some new and unexpected consldera-
tions arose to postpone the issue further.
But delay would meet the opposition of
Congress.
The gravity of The situation was felt
in all official quarters 1t was not day
of rapid development as when war pre-
variations were following in rapid sue
cess. but the tension was even greater
from the uncertainty that prevailed and
the feeling that Spain would not con-
cede the complete independence of Cuba.
The White House continued to be
thronged with congressional leaders anx
ious to learn from the President what
his course was to be. The general view
conveyed by those leaders after they had
been with the President was that he ex-
pected to have definite replies from Spain
in time to present the entire subject to
Congress by next Monday. The state de-
partinent was the centre of interest
throughout the day as it was there that
Minister Woodford's despatch announcing
Spain's attitude was to be received.
Iyhe officials shared in the general anx-

iety, but through the business hours Of
the day no word was receiyed from the
United States minister. The attitude of
the European powers continued to be
seriously discussed in official quarters,
as it was felt an offer of European medi-
alton was almost certain to follow war
crisis
No distinct offer has been submitted up
to the present moment. The cable re-
port from Berlin that Germany was me-
nacing Spain on an old claim and was
about to make a naval demonstration
in Cuba, attracted much attention. The
German ambassador said that he had re-
ceived no information as to this reported
move. The Spanish minister does not
credit the report that Germany has taken

Washington, March 31.-Spain's official
reply to President McKinley's latest de-
mand in the Cuban situation was re-
cetved in Washington tonight. An
anxious party comprising most of the
cabinet and several close friends of the
administration waited until late this
evening in the expectation Of develop
meDts. A bout 10. 80 the message began to
come in cipher and the work of transla-
tion began at once. 1t was officially
stated that no intimation as to the nature
of the reply would be divulged tonight.
