READY ID TENDER SERVICES ...- -.-s s.i., {i ' .ai To Adjust Differences Between the United States and
 Spain.

Washington, March 29.-There Is little doubt that the French government is ready to tender it's good offices as mediator be- intimation is conveyed by this country that such offices would be acceptable.
 Without such intdnration it is doubtful whether France will take the initiative. In diplomatic circles 1t is pointed out that the interests of France, both material and sen timentaI, favor an avoidance of war. One material reason is that France is preparing for the international exposition when the worlds tide of travel will be turned toward the French capitol. It is said that war at such time would be seriously preju- dicial to this great project.
 Another material interest affecting France Is that her citizens own many Spanish securities that may decline result ing from war. While these are important considerations urging France to avert hos tilities, yet they are not Of course such as could be advanced as the actual grounds for a tender of good offices Sunch move would be promised sOley on sentimental grounds namely on the friendship of France for both parties engaged in this controversy. z

Hanotaux, inc French foreign minister, a joint media tion by France and Austro-Hungary be- tween the United States and Spain. The initiative is left to M. Hanotaux, but the Austrian representatives at Madrid and Washington have been instructed to assist the movement.

PRESIDENT AWAITS
 SPA|N'S ANSWER To His Demands for Cessation 5 of Hosti|ities in Suf- fering Cuba.

Washington, March 29.-As already stated in the Associated Press dispatches the president some days ago made a peremp- tory demand upon Spain to put an end im- mediateIy to hostilities in Cuba, to release return to their homes and resume their several occupations unmolested.
 This statement is made by unquestioned authority, and since that demand was com- munieated to Spain the president has not taken a step backward or allowed himself to be persuaded into modifying it in the least particular Spain's final reply to this demand, it is known, is now receiving the earnest consideration of the Spanish au- thorifies at Madrid and their final reply may be reasonably expected within the next few days.
 Should these demands be rejected there is the highest authority for stating that the president would not hesitate a moment as to his future course, but would imme- diateIy lay the whole record before con gress and be guided by it's instruction. AS a preliminary step toward peace it has been proposed to Spain, though this last proposition has not taken the shape Of demand, as yet at least, that the spanish government withdraw its troops from the island and that the Cubans be given their independence on basis of indemnity that would be regarded as just in amount by the United States and other nations of the world and fair to both contending parties
 The question of an armistice has not been agreed to by either this country or Spain. though there is no doubt that Spain sug- gested an armistice. What terms of peace will be acceptable to the president cannot be stated, but 1t Is asserted that no prop osition will be considered tht does not in- volve the practical if not the actual .inde-

DOES SPAIN MAKE
 THE FIRST MOVE? Alleged Spanish Invaders Ar- rested on the Borders. ENI TIRE PARTY IS CAPTURED Letter Giving Full Details of the Intended Raid Was Standardization of Mexican
 Authorities Has Been Called
 to the Matter.

San Antonio, Tex, March 29-A specia. to the Express from Carrizo, Tex says: A well planned flibustering expedition into Texas was frustrated by information furn- ished to the Mexican authorities by Sheriff Haines of this county. Mexican officials ct Guerrero, Mexico, arrested Joaquin Marti, Spaniard from Havana, and two accomplices.
 The Mexican troops captured a courier of Martis with letters giving full data of the intended raid. One of the leaders was arrested at Monterey on telegraphic orders from Guerrero. The crossing was to have been made at Carrizo on the breaking out of hostilities between Spain and the United States Robbery was the object of the expedition Mexican troops are now hunting parties implicated. Some 400 men were ready to cross, armed and mounted. Mexican cavalry is now patroling the river front. Great excitement prevails on this side, and In case hostilities open, state or federal troops will be a necessity on the frontier.
 Eight or Ten in Party
 Laredo, Tex, March 29.-Advices received here from Carrizo, Tex, about fifty miles down the river on the Mexican border, in- dicate that eight or ten alleged Spanish in- vaders have been captured by the Mexican troops and they will be removed to Nuevo Laredo for trial. According to the same advices Marti admits that he was organ izing an invading party and says he was a Mexican. A courier was captured bearing letters addressed to Col. Sanchez, of the Spanish army in Cuba, and to prominent residents of Spain. It is recalled that Mayor Christian, of this city, some time ago was warned of plot to destroy Laredo by Spaniards, and many people believe the proposed invasion is part of the general plot. It is learned that Consult General Donnelly has called the attention of the Mexican authorities to the matter.
 Laredo would be well protected by United States troops at Fort Mcintosh should any disturbance arise, there being two or three hundred soldiers here. There are also about 400 Mexican soldiers just across the river.

HOPE FOR PEACEFUL
 SETTLEMENT Woodford's Note a Repetition of
 One Sent Before. THE U. s. LEGATION GUARDED Diplomat Says Governments Are Agreed As to Desirabty ofa Settlement, but Ten
 sion Is So Great Strain Can Last Little Longer.

Madrid, March 29.-Beyond the fact that few policemen and a couple of civil guards stand outside the American lega- tfon, there is absolutely no sign in Madrid of the tension between Spain and America So far as the general public Is concerned the matter is little discussed. even the press being today generally hopeful of a peaceful settlement. ~
 The note Minister Woodford presented is practically repetition of the one pre- scented in September, which In the interests of humanity asked Spain for an immediate cessation of hostilities in Cuba. Upon Spains reply to this matter hinges the conference held at the presidency this aft ternoon, at which Serror Sagasta the pre- mder; Senor Gullon, the foreign minister Senor Moret the minister for the colonies and Gen. Woodford were present, and at which it had been hoped a decision would be reached.
 Both Governments Agreed
 Both governments are absolutely agreed as to the desirability of settlement" said 8 diplomat to the correspondent of the Associated Press, but the tension is so great between the two that it would take but little further straining to split the hawser."
 The Madrid press oday prints bare half column of the report of the American court of inquiry.
 Fl Pals says: Tn admitting that a mine existed, the American commission has in- cured the ridicule of the entire world, as all technical experience proves the non- existence of a mine.'
 El Liberal says: President Mckinley will find no pretext for war in the commission s report" t 1.x
 El Liberal further says: "At that time Great Britain was not engaged in subdmng rebellion, and the American people-for 1t was the people and not the government- did not send their succor in warshlps The civilized world applauds charity, but not the mixture of charity and politics."
 The article concludes by urging the colo nial government to relieve the reconcen- trados. >
 In the course of an interview after the conference Senor Sagasta said to the cor respondent of the Associated Press that the United States minister, Woodford, at the conference asserted that he desired on that occasion to express the desires of the gov- ernmnt on the subject of the situation in Cuba Senor Sagasta added that the con- ference discussed some of these points and that he had promised to study General Woodfor's proposition and to submit them to the queen regent at q cabinet council.

Bt JAY DUhhAms
 Washington, March 24.
 Congress will declare war. Spain will be forced to fight or back down. That is the situation tonight. At no time in the history of congress has righteous indignation against a president been so rampant as was demonstrated today. Mckinley has not a half dozen friends in the sen- ate-nor twice that number in the house-men who will be willing to run the risk of sac rificing their own political fortunes to aid him, and in standing by him they sacrifice themselves. Every member of congress now realizes that war is the end of the contro- versy. Thousands and thOus- ands of telegrams are pouring in to the senators and repre- sentatives tonight from all over the country, demanding that war be declared. Indig- nation is running riot. The people seem ready to rise up in arms. The west is ready to march to the Atlantic coast. The feeling of war, and a de- mand for it, has taken posses sion of the people.
 Question His Loyalty.
 McKinley's cursed from one end of the country to the other. His republican friends, many from the central states, are accusing him of cowardlce and questioning his loyalty. His integrity is being assailed, and in public opinion he has committed the honor of the nation Snd the manhood of the people to the gamblers of Wall street. Threats to burn the president in effigy unless he quickly adopts an American policy against Spain came from all portions of the republic. His personal safety Is feared should he expose himself too much to the public gaze. Hundreds of political advisers of the past have visited hlm.
 Congress is determined and the hand at the white house can no longer stay 1t. Mckinley has lost in twenty-four hours all that it took him @ lifetime to build up With four resolutions introduced in the senate today by Foraker, Frye, Rawlings and Allen each practically declaration or war. and the two former by members of the foreign relations committee, seems more than can be told in many dispatches.
 The committee on foreign relations will meet tomorrow. when action will be taken on the Maine report Senator Davis, chairman of the com- mittee, is writing the report tonight. The report will, in effect, take the ground that Spain is directly responsible for the disaster. It is not in1- probable, in truth it is proba- ble, that the committee will report a direct and emphatic declaration of war. This, will mean immediate action by the senate. If presented it will pass and go to the house on Thursday, and it's action will be swift, unless stifled by Speaker Reed. but the chances IVY LEAF COAL. s2 ner ton relenhnns
