Washington, (April 11. The Spanish governments, through its minister at Washington. . Sjenor Polo de Bernabe, last night delivered an important of ficial document to the. state department statins that an armistice which the queen regent 01 Spain had commanded General Blanco! to proclaim yesterday was without renditions, that her ma jesty's government had granted lib eral Institutions to the Island of Cuba, which the : coming Cuban parliament would develop; recalling the condolence and sympathy -expressed by the queen regent and her 'government on the dis aster of the Maline and the horror this disaster had Occasioned in Spanish hearts, and api-eaiing to the courtesy and sense of 'justice of the United States government to enlighten public opinion upon the attitude of Spain. The note also repeats the offer of the Spanish government to submit the Maine ques tion to experts designated by the mari time powers of the world. 1 ' Senor Polo del Bernabe delivered the "document in person to the state depart ment, and aside! from the interest in the CONSUL GENERAL, LEE. communication itself the call had add ed interest as an evidence of a renewal of diplomatic . negotiations, this being his first cah at Ithe department in ten days. Later Senor DuBcsc, first sec retary of the legation, made another call at the department on the same general subject. Besides delivering the note, the ca!I permitted a personal ex change between the. secretary of state and the Spanish ofucials of an agree- able character The first effecti of the armistice will be to bring about a complete cessation of all Spanish the island. The hostilities throughout Spanish troops will for the time being gb into garrison. Their future dispositio n has not' even been considered, for. rrt u'ch depends upon the duration of the armistice and the course of the ir suTgents. If the in surgents continue their fighting arid. n the Spanish troops the situation will become complicated, for it is hardly bfe'ieved that the Span ish forces wiil lay down their arms fdr any8 length of time if they continue' to be under fire :froih the. insurgents. The attitude of the insurgent advisers . at "Washington is armistice. that of rejecting the There is little doubt, however, that will now. be brought the insurgents to sus so that terms for a strong influences tf bear to induce pend hostilities, complete settlem lent may be reached. One of the ambassadors at Washing tori pointed out telday that the influence bf the pope was relifed upon to. a con- wifh the insurgents, . . -ntft,nH anv:1nwo1 tn Rome The offer of an armistice will make plans of the adminis itra'ticyi, and the house this week will make history. tThe public generally Regards the message as the prologue gijial drama whici may end in war be fore! the curtain goes down. 'After the -iKe'sslage is read iit will probably be re ferred to the committee on foreigji re lations without jiebate. Such is the program to which both sides have"lf5rac- tically assented, jvvith the tacit under staniing. th,t that committee would report tomorrow 1 the re-solutions upon whith the house will be expected to act . ' ' It seems almost certain now that there will be a conflict both in the com mittee and in the house as to the na ture of the resolutions upon which the house will be called upon to act. In dividual views vairy greatly from those who desire a direct declaration of war, based on the theory that the blowing up of the Maine was a hostile act, and a few who are opposed to any action whatever. But the real contest, of course, will be between those who de sire to follow whajt Is now generally ac cepted as the president's recommenda tion. armed interyentiori, and those who When a man achin head a is suffering from an sluggish body when his muscles are 1 x and lazy his pram dull and his stoin mrh disdaining food be uil1. if vise heed these warniugs and resort to thejright n-medy, before it is too late.

' The Democrats, both of the commit tee and the house, have' taken an un equivocal position in favor of the rec ognition of : independence, although there is a difference of opinion as to whether "intervention would follow. A majority of the Republicans of the committee have within a few days de clared themselves for intervention and independence. But in the desire of the Republicans of both houses to secure harmony of action some of the advocates of inde pendence . have about come to the con clusion that" the difference between armed intervention and recognition is more technical than substantial, as un less the island should be annexed, to which they are opposed, a republican form of government for the island must, follow. It seems probable that existing differences may at least to some extent be adjusted, and whether all the Republicans agree to a-resolution declaring for intervention only or not such a resolution will be reported. It seems equally certain that a resolu tion for independence, possibly coupled with intervention, wilj be presented by the minority. . The week in the senate probably will be given entirely to the Cuban ques tion. The president's message will be referred promptly to the committee on foreign relations,- and the present un derstanding is that no report will be made by the. committee before tomor row. The, report- may, in case of the development of radical differences in. the committee, be delayed to even a later day. The present tendency in the senate is to confine the congressional fulmina- tion to a declaration for armed inter vention, leaving the recognition of in dependence to come later, and it now appears probable that the foreign rela tions committee will report in favor of this course, thought not wltnout some dissent. SPANIARDS INSULT REFUGEES. Called Thorn "Yankee Swine" as They Left Havana Harbor. Key West, April 11. "Tell the Oli vette to get under way at once. Cap tain Cowles, signal the Bache that the United States fleet is ready to clear out of Havana, and please follow the Bache out," These were the words of Consul Gen eral Lee at 5:15 Saturday afternoon as he sto'od on the 'poop of the Fern with a group of correspondents around him. It was evident to all that General Lee Intended , to be the last to leave, and a murmur of applause verit around in support of his intention. The Evelyn had already passed Morro Castle when the 1 Olivette weighed anchor. The Bache was close behind and the Fern was the last of the line. The wharves and boats on both sides of the narrow entrance to the harbor were crowded with Spaniards, who hissed-and jeered as each boat passed out. As the Fern rounded to, heading for the -open sea, she passed near the Maine wreck. The group on deck had beezulaughihg and talking, expressing their satisfaction at leaving Havana. With one accord each man doffed his hat in salute to the brave dead, while silence fell on all for the space of sev eral minutes. General Cee being on board, the Fern, made that boat target for redoubled hisses, groans, cat calls and whistles from the crowds on shore. "Get out, Yankee swine," was among the mildest expressions used This seemed to strike everyone on board as ludicrous. Vice Consu Springer, who had been in the island 30 years, waved his hand to a particularly abusive group, saying in tones loud enough for all .to hear: "Wait, Wait my friends; we shall all be back soon.' There was me pretty incident. , On the Cabanas shore a British steamer L was unloading at. her wharf. As the Fern parsed the union jack was dip ..ped, while the English crew, gave hearty cheer. It is heedless to say that the compliment was returned with all possible gusto. Havana seemed dazed when the.peo pie found that General Lee: was really going and that all the Americans were going with him. Not to see a single United States flag floating from the staff at Casa Nuevo struck many resi dents as little less than a calamity. All the refugees arrived at Key West yesterday in a state of wreck. Every body was sick, some more than others. Even the naval men did not escape. From the crowded decks of the Olivette hearty cheers went up as the launch from the Fern, with the correspondents and consular agent on board, . put ashore. Several hundred persons on the dock added their .shouts to this lusty welcome, and for some hours stayed gazing at the Fern, " on which General tee could be seen pacing the deck. At about 11 o'clock General Lee came ashore and "secured an answer from Washington to his request-, for orders sent, earlier. After a brief re ception General Lee went on board the Olivette"; which had been "kept In wait ing, and sailed for Tampa at noon. He goes direct to Washington. Nineteen refugees landed from the Bache, 100 from the Evelyn and 249 from the Olivette. Of the latter nearly all were either colored or Cubans. SATS . IT IS NOT AN ARMISTICE. Spain'" lielllorerent War M luster Calls It Only featlon of Hostilities. Madrid, April 11. El Imparcial says that Lieutenant General Correa, min ister of war, in a conversation with sev eral people expressed himself as fol lows: "It is an error to say that the gov ernment has granted an armistice to the rebels. I would never give that before leaving the ministry, because it would be the same thing as recognizing the belligerency of the rebels.. The government has granted the wishes of the powers that we should cease hos tilities during the delay, which General Blanco judges prudent for preparing peace. I acceded to a cessation of hos tilities, because to refuse the wishes of the powers would be to divorce Spain from the world. If I left the cabinet I should be placing my successor in an awkward position... i "General Blanco will publish a proc lamation of truce, and also another of fering indulgent terms during the ces sation'of hostilities.

El , Imparctal says that during the cabinet council a minister reminded his colleagues that the powers, before ap-' proachinsT Spain, approached the Uni ted States, getting President McKinley to delay his message to congress and General Woodford to -withdraw the ul timatum.. - WAR NEWS 'OF' THE.'1 WEKK. Senator Charjjes Spain With Ilespon alblltty For the Maine Outrage.' Washington, April lL On Sunday of last s week the reports were rather conflicting, and would make it appear that the president was inclined to avert war .on. the, Spanish assurance that the reconcentrados in Cuba would be provided" for. J But it now looks as lfv this' statement was given out to se cure delay, as it was also asserted that the government had purchased large quantities of . ammunition abroad, which had not "yet been shipped. Pow der makers in this country, too, are clamoring ,for more ' time. Statistics were published to show that no more formidable fleet of war vessels was ever gathered together, under any flag, than Commodore Schley's flying squad ron at Hampton Roads. 'A Wayne, Me., dispatch announced the invention of a terrible engine of war by Hudson Maxim, brother of the famous gun in ventory ' This latest invention is called the Maxim aerial torpedo, and will throw a ton of dynamite a distance of five .mUes.v.. ;'; . ..JV In the senate' Monday Mr. Perkins, of California, openly asserted that Spain was responsible for the Maine outrage. Mr. Mitchell, the conservative Wiscon sin -Republican senator, replied to a private letter mrglng peace, that "the Maine episode will not down. It stands before the American people a plain case, of treachery. Perfidy and cruelty run In the Spanish blood. A nation that would allow such an outrage to go un punished 'would -, not deserve to exist." The navy department reported the pur chase In New York harbor of ten steamers for,; the, auxiliary navy. A London dispatch announced that Lieu tenant Commander Colwell, United States naval- attache, had .secured proof that Havana harbor was minedT The talk of Tuesday "was the presi dent's message, which had been official ly promised for Wednesday; and which was said to demand Cuban independ ence. Both in Washington and Madrid the talk was extremely warlike, al though the , foreign ministers iri Wash ington t were ,; In frequent conference, presumably with regard to our relations with Spain, No action was taken by them, however, so far as known.- "Dis patches announced the suspension of wrecking work on the Maine wreck and a Franco-Spanish demonstration at Madrid. A Berlin dispatch told of the shipment of a: large quantity of arms and ammunition purchased in Germany for .this country. The whole nation was surprised on Wednesday when the announcement was made that the president's long ex pected Cuban message would not be transmitted to 1 congress. . The reason given was that Consul General Lee had urged delay until Americans could get out1 of Havana, saying he feared the sending in of the message might cause an - .anti-American - uprising and pos sible massacre. ; The president showed the ! message to a number of congres sional leaders of both parties and all agreed that there would be wisdom in delay. ; The dispatches from Madrid showed that in the Spanish capital the feeling was: general that war would be averted. The Wall street-stock specu lators made much of the news reports, and' prices went up as the latest de velopments indicated the probability of "peace. The representatives of the six European nations in Washington were in frequent consultation, but took no defln'te action. Dispatches from Havana announced that the exodus of Americans had begun. The navy de partment announced that Father Chid- wick,- the chaplain of the wrecked Maine, had been promoted to the rank of lieutenant. Thursday's -; announcements again placed a different aspect on the war re ports. It" was announced that the pres ident would send his Cuban message to congress on Monaav, ana tnat . its phrasing as originally agreed upon in . . . cabinet meeting would not be changed, Spain, it was understood, must yield to the demands of this government, or armed intervention Would "inevitably follow. At the same time the Madrid dispatches' declared that Spain would make no further concessions. As a fur ther1 evidence of the probability of war Consul' General Lee. was ordered to leave Havana on Saturday, and the exodus of 'Americans was begun. The ambassadors of the six great European, powers called: cn the president in the interest of . peace, and were firmly in formed that no further concessions .would be made by this government.. Although there were no. alarming demonstrations on Friday last, the at mosphere was decidedly ; warlike. N The dispatches from Madrid indicated that the Spaniards had no intention of yielding an inch to the demands of this country, and the departure of Consul General Lee from Havana late in the evening added ' to the belief that war was Inevitable. t i . 1 But there was a change in the indi cations on Saturday.- On that day an armistice was ordered in, Cuba, and General Blancf was;lnstructed to make overtures to the lnsurgentsIt is known '! here, however, that ,the insurgents will not listen to proposals for . a cessation of hostilities without Cuban independ ence.'
