De LONE Fears a Crisis.

Senior Dupuy dc LONE, the Spanish
minister, fears the debate in the House of
Representatives may cause a crisis.
Thursday lie called ut the State Depart
mcnt, and for over an hour was closeted
with Judge Day, the assistant secretary.
He expressed extreme regret over the
speeches made by the congressman, and
especially that of Mr.. Hit, which, he said,
might inflame the Spanish populace to
some overt act, such as driving Minister
Woodford and the United States consuls
from Spain before such demonstrations
could be checked by the Spanish Govern
ment.
depressing extreme regret" is the dip
lomatic mode of making IL protest without
bringing about an international cOmplica-
tion. The Spanish minister was appre-
hensive particularly of the effect of Mr..
Hits speech, because of the prominent
position he occupied as chairman of the
Committee. OH Foreign Affairs. He point
ed out to Judge Day that because of the
excitement i'll Spain over the Cuban ques-
tiOn, the reports of such utterances as
that of Mr.. Hit would nave the effect of
further stirring up the people. He also
regretted extremely the unusual activity
in the a v yards. The manufacture of

war is being pushed along more rapidly
than for years, and Senior de LONE told
Judge Day that his people could not re-
gard this activity otherwise than prepara-
ton for war, in anticipation of some rad
ical move on the part of this Government.
He explained to Judge Day that, while he
personally knew the feeling of the admin
istration to be friendly, the people. Of
his country had to take the talk in Con-
gress and the reports of the activity at the
navy yards ut their face value, and that
his information would go for nothing with
them.

LODGES BILL PASSED.

speech delivered by Senator Wolcott of
Colorado, chairman of the bimetallic com-
mission, upon the negotiations with Eu-
ropcan countries relative to international
bimetallism and the passage of the Lodge
bill restricting immigration into the Unit

sion. Mr.. Foraker, the senior Senator

earnest attention of his auditors. At the
conclusion of the speech Mr.. Wolcott was
instantly surrounded by his Republican
colleagues, DESTROYS of rendering to him
congratulations.
at tie conclusion of Mr.. Wolcott's
speech the immigration bill was taken up
and discussed until 5 o'clock, the hour at
which. by previous agreement, it had been
arranged to vote finally upon the amend
ments and the bill. An amendment offer
ed by MIR. Spooner of Wisconsin providing
that the ability on the part of the immi-
grant either to read or to write should
be accepted as IL sufficient test of his lit
eracy was adopted. Another amendment
by Mr.. Spooner providing that the men,
bers of the family accompanying the I'M
migrant rejected under the conditions of
the bill should be returned to the country
whence they came by the steamship COM
panies was also adopted. Other efforts
were made to amend the measure, but
failed. The bill was then passed by a
vote of 40 to %.
The bill as passed provides that all im-
migrants physically capable and over IL

the island of Cuba during the continuance
of present disorders there. who nave here

President Says American Charity Will

Washington dispatch: The President
now knows that Spanish authorities are
hampering Consul General Lee in every
way possible. They do not want Ameri-
cans to succor the STRIVING Cubans. But
President Mckinley has given assurance
that all donations will reach Cubans. He
has given that assurance without any
communication with any representative Of
Spain.
President Mckinley has, after careful
consideration of the complaint that sup
plies sent from Philadelphia to Havana
have not reached Consul General Lee.
given out the statement that all dona-
tions to Cuba will be distributed by Gen.
Lee. When this statement was given out
by Judge Day no assurance Of a change
Of policy in Havana had com from Gen.
Lee or from Minister de LONE.
The assurance to the American people
that their contributions would be distrib-
utcd in Cuba was simply the assurance
of the President of the United States, who
is conscious of his right and power to see
that it is made good. President McKin-
ley has INDUCED in no threat against
Spain. He has simply assured the Amer
lean people that he will see that their
contributions are distributed to the starry
ing Cubans. Those who have watched
developments believe that this will be by
intervention with force.
