answer to the Spanish government as
right, justified by all the conditions
and the American people will endorse
him in the position he has taken. 1
have believed for days that we were
nearing a crisis sorculmination of troubles
from day to day, and IT has seemed to
me that the Spanish government was
endeavoring to bring a conflict between
that government and ours. Whether
this government desires It or not on
this account IL would be almost forced
into war with Spain. | do not well
understand. in view Of the interests or
manifestation of interest this country
has taken in the conflict which had
been going on between Spain and the
Cubans, how withdrawal of any kind
could he thought of, either from the
point Of view of national interest or of
common humanity. Our people do not
want war, neither does the president,
but neither the president nor the peo-
pie will submit to any humiliation at
the hands of the Spaniards. I think it
is another step on their part into fore
ing a issue between that government
and our own"
Senator Morgan said: II heartily ap-
plaud the presidents action in the dis
patch brought to my attention. / do
not think the Spanish government will
insist upon Lees recall, nor do I think
it will refuse a bounty to those poor
starving creatures, the reconcentra-
does, thought it may be dished out to
them with a mailed hand. We, of the
south, are very proud of General Lee
and his conduct in Cuba. 1t only
proves what we have always known
about him-that is a brave, patriotic
man, fearless to do his duty under all
circumstances. The recall of General
Lee, in my opinion, was in Difference
to the mob sentiment in Madrid. After
all the forbearance we nave shown
Spain in making our country a base
for her supplies she turns upon us and
makes everything done by us into an
act of enmity. After a while we will
be sufficiently informed as to the in
tentions of the Spanish government to-
ward us to meet them half way.

WEATHER FORECAST.
Sleighing Can Be Expected for Sevsrel
 Days.

Rochester. N. Y., Jan. 23.-The snow promised by Prophet Parker ar rived according to the sage's predic- tion, and with the fall in temperature the streets were soon covered with a white covering that made excellent sleighing. Horsemen came out an numbers yesterday and today to enjoy what sleighing could be foundr-hsfore another thaw, and East avenue has been crowded with pleasure seekers.
 But the sleighing will probably last for some days yet, as more snow IS promised for tomorrow. The weather man also says it will be slightly warmer, with variable winds, becom- ing south. The temperature mas dropped decidedly over this section oi the country.

X MUDDY SODDEN CORPSE
Found in the Salt River Canal
 Yesterday Morning
WI jam E. Seymour Walked From a Saloon at Five Points Into Watery Grave-What is Known of the Victim.

About g o'clock yesterday morning George Roberts coming along the Yuma Toad mile below town saw the dead body of man hanging over a plank fin the Salt River canal. The water was then low, as it had been turned off few hours before, so that only eAe feet and legs of zthe man were in 6e water, and they were cev- cred deposit of mud
 JuSfice Johnstone was notified and i9 aneling, jury went out to the place where the body had heen found. It was dragged out upon the bank of the canal It was that of man about 45 years old anG of red complexion. It was dressed in a coat, a flannel shirt, pair of overalls and drawers. The pockets contained on'y leather shOe-string, a couple of pieces of cord, pocket knife, a corkscrew and a parent medicine advertisement. The body was still limp, so that it could not have been in the water more than six. hours and but for the fact that the water had been turned out of the canal about o'clock it might have been supposed that the man had been drowned within the last hour or two. The body was not swollen, as is al- ways the case when bodies have been q lcng in the water. The absence of this sign was probably due to the po- sftion in which the corpse lay. The body was taken to Randall & Davis undertaking rooms and the inquest will be concluded at 10 o'clock this morning.
 It was learned later in the day that bhe drowned man was William E. Sey- mour, or William O'Brien, for he was known by both naues. He was al Staley's saloon at Five Poins about Il o'clock the light before and was never seen alive after he left the sa- z loon. Abor sixty yards west of the saloon there is place where the turf on the canal is scraped away as if by some body or object slipping into the canal. It was at first supposed that that was where Seymour fell in. But there are several instructions between that point and the place where the body was found, so that even ff.here had been full head of water it could not have washed the body past them The more reasonable supposition therefore, is that Seymour wandered
