It involves, however, hostile constraint upon both the parties to the contest, as well to enforce a truce as to guide the eventual settlement. The grounds 'for such intervention may be briefly Summarized as follows: 1st. In the cause of humanity and to put an end to the barbarities, blood shed, starvation' and horrible miseries now existing there, and which the parties to the conflict are either unable or unwilling to stop or mitigate. It is no answer to say this is all in another country, belonging to another nation . and is therefore none of our business. It is specially our duty, for it is right al our door. Cuba to afford them that, nrntcnt.inn V 'V W M.V W VU1 VltlilljUO Jill , and indemnity for iife and property which no government there can or will afford, and to that end to termi nate the conditions that deprive them of legal protection. 3d. The right to intervene may be justified by the very serious injury to the commerce, trade and business odf. our people and by the wanton destruc tion of property and devastation of the island. . J 4 -4t.il -Anrl wbioVi ia nf flio ntmnsl im portance. The present condition of affairs in Cuba is a constant menace to our peace and entails upon this gov ernment an enormous expense. With such a conflict waged for years in an island so near and with which our peo ple have such trade and business rehv tions when the lives and liberty of our citizens are in constant danger and their property destroyed and themselves ruined where our trading vessels are liable to seizure and are seized at our very doors, by warships of a foreign nation, the expeditions of filibustering that we are powerless to prevent altogether, and the irritating questions and entanglements thus arising all these and others that I J";ed not mention, with the result from the strained relations, are a con stant menace to our peace and compel us to keep on a semi-war footing with a nation with which we are at peace. Destruction of the Maine. These elements of danger and dis order already pointed out have been wnkiiigly illustrated by a tragic event which has deeply and justly moved we American people. I have already ransmitted to Congress the report of we naval court of inquiry on the de duction of the battleship Maine in lte harbor of TTvnn. Hm-ino- ftio 'ht of the 15th of February. The "estruction of that noble vessel has ""ed the national heart with inex Pftssible horror.

Spain Suggests Arbitration. peace Further referring in this connection m. recent diplomatic correspondence, a dispatch from our minister a; of the Zbth ultimo, contained the state ment that the Spanish Minister for f oreign Affairs assured him positively that Spam will do all that the highest auu jusnue require in the mat ter or tne Maine. The reply above reierrea to ot the 31st ultimo also con , ieaan expression of the readiness oi opain to submit to arbitration all toe amerences which can arise in this matter, which is subsequentlv ex plained by the note of the Spanish minister at Washington of the 10th instant, as toilows: "As to the ques uon or ract which springs from the diversity of views between the repre- ?Y"vt,v" ul lUB American and Span isn ooaras, sspain proposes that the facts be ascertained by an impartial mvraugauuu Dy experts whose de uision opam accepts in advance." To mis 1 nave made no reply. In my annual message to Congress last December, speaking for this ques tion; I said: "The' near future will demonstrate whether the indispen sable conditions of a righteous peace just alike to the Cubans and to Spain as well as equitable to all our interests' so intimately involved in the welfare of Cuba, is likely to be attained. If not, the exigency of further and other action by the United States will re main to be taken. When. that time comes, that actiotf will be determined in the line of indisputable right and duty. It will be faced, without mis giving or hesitancy, in the light of the obligation this government owes to it self, to the people who have confided to it the protection of their interests and honor, and to humanity. "Sure of the right, keeping free from all offence ourselves, actuated only by upright and patriotic con siderations, moved neither by passion nor selfishness, the government will continue its watchful care over the rights and property of American citi zens, and will abate none of its efforts to bring about by peaceful agencies a peacig which shall be honorable and end(iring. If it shall hereafter appear to be a duty imposed by our obliga tions to ourselves, to civilization and humanity, to intervene with fomo if. shall 4)e without fault on our part and J oniy Decause tne necessityfor such ac tion will be so clear as to command the support and approval of the civil ized world." War in Cuba Must Stop. The long trial ' has proved that the object for which Spain has waged the war cannot be attained. The fire of insurrection may flame or mav smoulder with varying seasons, but it nas not heen and it is plain that it cannot be extinguished bv nresent methods. The only hone of relief and repose from a condition which can no longer be endured is the enforced pacification of Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the name oi civilization. in behalf of endangered American in terests which give us the right and the duty to speak and to act, the war in Cuba must stop. in view of these facts and of these considerations I ask the Congress to authorize and empower the President to" take measures to secure a full and final termination of. hostilities between the government of Spain and the people of Cuba, and to secure in the island the establishment of a stable government capable to maintain order and observing its international obli gations, ensuring peace and tranquil ity and the security of its citizens as well as our own, and to use the mili tary and naval forces of the United States as may be necessary for these purposes. And in the interest of humanity and to aid in preserving the lives of the starving people of the island, I recom mend that the distribution of food and supplies be continued and that an ap propriation be made put of the public treasury to supplement the charity of our citizens. The issue is now with Congress. It is a solemn responsibility. I have ex hausted every effort to relieve the in tolerable condition of affairs which is at pur doors. Prepared to execute every obligation imposed upon me by the Constitution and the law, I await your action. The Armistice. Yesterday and since the preparation of the foregoing message, official in formation was received by me that the latest decree of the Queen Regent of Spain directs General Blanco, in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to proclaim a suspension of hostilities, the duration and details of which have nojt yet been communicated to me. TKis fact, with every other pertinent con sideration, will, I am sure, have your just and careful attention in the sol emn deliberations upon which we are about to enter. If this measure at tains a successful result, then our aspi rations as a Christian, peace-loving people will be realized. If it fails, it will be only another justification for our contemplated action. WILLIAM MCKINLEY, Executive Mansion, April ll, 1898. I was reading an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhcea Remedy in the Worcester Enterprise recently, which leads me to write this. lean truthfully say I never used any remedy equal to it for colic and diarrhcea.

MAKES WAR INEVITABLE nmer uispiay ot Partisan Feeling Dur in the Proceedings The "Ut Passed and Almost a Free Fifht Followed. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. TTf . .. . 1 Washington, April 13. The House of Representatives to-day, after one of the most exciting and memorable days m its history, by a vote of f322 to 19 adopted a resolution which nine-tenths of its members believe makes war wUh Spain inevitable. It is a fact which was grimly commented upon to-day by members as they spoke of the future mat every war in which the United estates has engaged began m April and that to-day was the anniversary of the fall of fort Sumter, which aroused the patriotic fervor of the North and made tne tour years of civil strife a certainty, lhe resolutions adonted dirH. the. President to intervene at once in Cuba, to restore peace and secure to the peo pie oi mis lsiana "a stable and mde pendent" government of tfiir nmn and authorize him to use the army and navy 10 execute tne purpose of the resolutions. Although only nineteen members, fifteen Democrats, three Re publicans and one Populist, dissented upon the .final vote, the proceedings were marred by a bitter and acrimoni ous display of partisan feeling. During me neiffnt or tne excitement the lie was passed between Mr. Brumm, Re publican, Pennsylvania, and Mr. Bart lett, Democrat, Georgia, and a dis graceful scene followed that almost descended to the level of a free fight. Liater me two members found that tne altercation had arisen out of misunderstanding, whereupon there were mutual apologies. bhortly before 3 o'clock Mr. Adams, of Pennsylvania, the acting chairman oi tne committee on Foreign Affairs, enterethe hall with the report. The presentation of the resolutions was the occasion for a wild outburst of ap plause from the galleries and the floor whereas, The government of bpain for three years past has been waging war on the island of Cuba against a revolution by the inhabi tants thereof without making any sub- autuLiai progress toward the suppres sion of said revolution, and has con ,i i 1 1 1 - uucieu me warrare in a manner con trary to the laws of nations bv ninth oris innuman and uncivilized, causing the death by starvation of more than two hundred thousand innocent non-combatants, the victims being for the most .if V. 1 1 i i i i ya.il, uciuicss women ana cnuaren, in flicting intolerable injury to the com mercial.interest of the United States, involving the destruction of the lives and property of many of our citizens, entailing the expenditure of millions of money in patrolling our coasts and poncing the nigh seas in order to maintain our neutrality ; and "whereas, This long series of losses, injuries and burdens for which Spain is responsible has culminated in the destruction of the United States battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana and in the death of 260 of our seamen ; "Resolved, That the President is here by authorized and directed to intervene at once to stop the war in Cuba, to the end and with the purpose of securiner permanent peace and order there and establishing by the free action of the people thereof a staple and inde pendent Government of their own in the island Of Cuba; and the President is hereby authorized and empowered to use the land and naval forces of the United States to execute the purpose of this resolution." Mr. Adams asked unanimous con sent for the consideration of the reso lutions and Mr. Bailey reserved the right to object, saying that whether he objected or not would depend upon whether a fair understanding as to the length of the debate could be reached. Mr. Bailey sought to interpose with request that the minority resolu tions be read, but the Speaker insisted that if Objection was to be made it must be made then. " J "The chair is determined to trv to force the minority." cried-Mr. Bailev. amid much confusion and cries of regular order." whereunon Mr Bailey turned and facing the other side entered his objection in emphatic tones. The whole Democratic side rose en masse. "They are simply playing for politi cal advantage, and the people of the country ought to know it, " shouted Mr. Richardson, Democrat, of Ten nessee "There is a perfect understanding wUh the Democratic members of the Foreign Affairs Committee on this point," replied Mr. Henderson, Re publican, of Iowa. "That is not true, if we are to understand that any such arrangement as this was agreed to," retorted Mr. Richardson. A Sensational Climax. At this juncture occurred the sensa tional climax of the day and one of the exciting incidents in the history of the House. Members all about were in a state of frenzied excitement. Par tisan passion was running high. Tt required only the application of a match to explode the magazine and when the explosion came pandemo nium reigned. Mr. tJartlett, Demo crat, Georgia, off to the right of the chairman, was supporting the protests of the Democrats against the taunting words which were coming from the other side. Suddenly, in the rear in the next tier of seats, came in stento rian tones from Mr. Brumm, Republi can, Pennsylvania, a taunt addressed generally to the Democratic jside: "You got just what you did not want,", he shouted. ? "That is not true," cried out Mr. Bartlett, who it was explained subse quently was addressing his remarks to a Republican on the other side. "I say it is, " retorted Mr. Brumm hotly. "It is not," flared back Mr. Bartlett, turning and facing Mr. Brumm. "You are a liar, " responded Mr. Brumm. A Free Fight. Instantly Mr. Bartlett reached for a large bound copy of the Congressional Record in the desk before him and, raising it aloft, hurled it at his adver sary. It fell short, and then the two antagonists rushed for each other. The House immediately was in an uproar. Some of the ladies in the galleries screamed hysterically. Members crowded toward the combatants from all quarters. They ran across the area in front of the Speaker's desk and crowded up the adjoining aisles, clinching, tugging and hauling at each other like madmen. It was like a free fight in the street. Shouts of anger and indignation were heard on every hand. Members in the crush espoused the cause of the two orig inal combatants and there were several exciting collisions, but no blows struck, Meantime Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Brumm were trying to get to each other over the benches, but were borne back bv friends. Mr y Bartlett, who is a slight man, was car ried otT his feet and Mr. Miers, of In- aiana, a stalwart, broad-shouldered hoosier, blocked the path of Mr. Brumm who is himsAl T OTTI A ATI t1 tr o man of great physical vigor. In his efforts to stop Mr. Brumm, Mr. Miers i became involved with Mr. Pierce, of 1 Missouri and they almost came to blows. All this time the gavel of the i Speaker was heard above the awful din and his voice was commanding the sergeant-at-arms to restore or der. Armed with the great silver mace, the emblem of the authority of the House, Colonel Russell, the sergeant-at-arms, repeatedly charged the thick maSS Of Stnio-lino- mam. bers but was as often swept aside. One of the other emlpoyes, Griffin Halstead, a son of Murat Halstead, while attempting to pacify Mr. Brumm was felled by a blow on the jaw. At last by the efforts of a dozen muscular members the belli WrATl fa nrCLYCk anno rated, the angry legislators retired to ! uueir seats ana a semblance of order was restored. It was One of the most dis graceful scenes witnessed in the House in many years. The effort to get the resolutions be fore the House having failed, the com mittee on rules retired and formulated a special rule. It provided for the im mediate consideration of the resolu tions presented by the. Foreign Rela tions eommittee. The rule was adored anil tha. .An. lu.tlons were again presented, together um ui uie minorny, Which were to be offered as a substitute; The minority report is as follows g 'Resolved, That the United States Government hereby recognizes the in dependence of the Republic of Cuba.
