Tsjtft Is perfectly clear that Predch and Germain as well as Austrian sympathies re with tine Spanish.

The senate committee oa foreign relations decided this afternoon that the Poraker resolution should be adopted and it will be favorably reported to the senate. To the resolution the committee has added a statement of Spain's culpabil ity for the destruction of the Maine. Forakcr's resolutiOB reads; "Be It resolved, by the senate and house of representatives of the UnSted Stats of America;. "First That the people of toe Island of Cuba are, and of right, oughiL to be free and independent? , ' - "Second That the government of itbe United States hereby recogndses the repub lic of Cu'ba as toe true and lawful govern ment of the island. "Third That the. war Spain.. Is waging against Cuba is so destructive of the com mercial and. property interests of the Uni ted States, and so cruel, barbarous and iaV human in its character as to make it the duty of the United States to demand, and the government of p, 'Uued States doss hereby demand, -that she at once wi'tih -v.Sand pj'. .fri!.1fim Cuba.--.

Capltain Sdgsbee, of he ill-fated; ship, was before -the com mit ttee on Thursday for several hours and again yesterday. He submitted evidence that left little doubt in the minds of the committee tflaat the blowing up of the ship was due to an act of treachery, of which, from toe very nature of things, the Span ish authorities must have been cognisant. 'Spain's unfavorable reply brought the committee to a prompt decision that, toe time has come to act. It has cut the Gor dian Knot by toe adoption of a resolution that is a practical decaration of war, con necting therewito toe first Official declara tion that 'Spain is guilty of toe crime of the destruction of toe Maine. McKINLEY'S COURSE. Washington, April 2. tPresident McKin ley began preparing today a anesage to be sent to congress next week. 5t is evident X r I New Business We want new bus iness but we do not neglect old patrons for new ones. We endeaver o please all. Ym -will find t DAVID WAY, h'wpger uare n i pa au uu-tu-uaic receuies .'Sc i SNIDER'S 6 Court Sq. W not be ready before Tuesday, per haps ndt till Wednesday. McKinley - suited department officials, senators sxM representatives before beginning his task. The situation has not changed since Wood ford's message was mads public yesterday M far as further correspondence between Washington and Madrid is concerned, The sentiment has crystoiissd- to eaagrsa however and if now more than ever favor able to a prompt passage of a measure that will amount to a dectioi f war, Tjftr Sentiment Is based largely upon toe feeliusr that Spain teas added insult to injury "ta not offering an apology or reparation for thie blowing up of the Maine. Bat Presi dent McKinley still thinks toe Main e mas ter should be treated separately from Oa fcin independence. Tonight b president is more convinced than ever that every possible justification for our intervention is ' the necessity of relieving toe starving Cubans, in fact he has decided to malPe his message one of peace. He thinks ithece is one chaace for avoiding war, and of tnat wrM try "to convince congress. tr. Klopsch gave the Bresidtent facts fto . day regarding Cuba which he will brtns; out in his message. Dr. Klopsoh that toe military situation was to that which Senator Proctor claimed fsr K-lopsch and Proctor agree as to .& condition of the starving, people, but the president is now told that autonomy to a success.- TO APPEASE CONGRESS. He (has been told congress is "in no for moderate measures toward Spain, is determined to settle with Spain now on the question of Cuba and toe Maine as well. He is thinking, however, of find ing a casus belli is some other section. He may 'tell congress should toe torpejfls fleet cast anchor at Porto Rico, or if any other like demonstration of (hostility come from any Spanish quarter, Jhe would meet it with!, a declaration of war. At any rate ne will say that the adminis tration will act-promptly when a cause tor war is found, thus hoping to head off gress. The action of toe foreign affairs mittee of the senate today in deciding to report a warlike resolution as soon as tB message is received, shows the sentiment of ithat body. It is also evident that ibe majority of toe house is ready to act on 1 Maine matter. - It is understood that in the event of' the French, ambassador at Washington wiB protect Spain's interests here and the French ambassador at Madrid will pro tect American interests in Spain.
