An Unfounded Rumor Afloat Here Last Evening. The report current on the streets of Greensboro about four o'clock yester day afternoon that "war had been de clared by the Senate" probably ema nated from the fact that at that hour Senator M;uou was making a red hot speech in which he declared that he was in favor of war. The Telegram was besieged with inquiries as to the troth of the report, all of which we answered, giving the latest news by wire from the Union Associated Press. Those who took time to think a moment and reflect that the Senate alone could not authorize the begin ning of hostilities, but that the house also mu:-t concur, and in the evetit of a veto by the President that both branches must, by a two-thirds vote, pass iiie measure over his veto, did not listen for the booming of cannon last night. There is a warm time in congress, however, and there is no telling how much longer the tension will hold out. It is liable to snap at any time and open the way for a declaration of war. In the meantime The Telegram will keep on printing the news as it hap pens. JOHN EVANS WILL HANO. The Governor Will Not Again Extend Executive Clemency. John Evans, the Rockingham rapist will hang for. his crime next Friday. The Council of State yesterday de cided that the sentence of the court should no longer be interferred with. It was the report of Mr. Sims, who made a very careful investigation of the new evidence, that settled the mat ter. It was alleged that two negroes, Jim Peterkin and John Hines, who were in jail with Evans, overheard a conver sation between Evans and Mr. O. H. Dockery, Jr., his attorney, in which the latter advised Evans not to testify that he passed the scene of the crime the morning it was committed. Mr. Sims secretly investigated the report. He saw one of the negroes in jail at Rockingham and then went to Laurinburg andsaw the other. They .corroborated each other to Mr. Sims. While the council was in session, Mr. O. H. Dockery, Jr., was accorded a hearing. He presented a number of affidavits tending to disprove the tory of the negroes, and then pre sented one of his own denying abso lutely the story in every particular. These, however, were not sufficient to overcome the great mass of evi dence piled up against the negro and day after tomorrow he is to die. News and Observer. A Game Tomorrow. The game of ball between the regu lars and the colts, scheduled for this afternoon will be played tomorrow if the weather will permit. Rain stopped the game with Augusta, then the weather cleared and when the Richmonds were to come it rained again and today rain stopped the game. Verily baseball teams bring rain. Tomorrow will be Greensboro's last chance to see the champions play ball this season and so let everybody hope for a fair day. The game will be a good one, for the men are anxious to get out once more after being cooped up in the hotel since Monday. The two teams will line up in the or der announced in yesterday 'sTelegram Game will be called at 3:30. Address at Methodist Church. Prof. Hamill arrived on the noon train today and will meet the Sunday school workers at four o'clock this afternoon at West Market 6treet Meth odist church. At eight o'clock tonight at the Methodist church he will address a union meeting. Be sure to go out to hear him. It is hoped the inclement weather will not lessen the attendance In speaking of Prof. Hamilli ad dress last Monday in Durham, the Sun says: "Prof. Hamill's lectures were practical and suggestive to Sunday school workers. The attendance was good and all present felt greatly ben efitted. His work in Durham has been a real inspiration to the Christian workers "and they all will be glad to welcome him to their midst again.' Attention H. and L. Members. The regular monthly meeting of the Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 wil be held in the hall Thursday evening at 8:30. Every member is requested to be present. O. D. Boycott, Foreman. J. E.

All druggists refund the money WILL BREAK ALL BOUNDS" Threats to Spurn Executive Pol- Icy and Declare War SENATORS GALL ON PRESIDENT fir. flcKInley Explains the Cause of the Delay Expecting a Cable gram from Spain. By Wire to THE Telegram. Washington, Mar. 30 A conference of the utmost significance to the United States and Spain was held at the White vHouse this morning. Ten or .velve or perhaps more prominent Senators visited the President after having held conferences among them selves to agree upon something defi nite in the Spanish affair to lay be-fo-e the Executive. The meeting was held in reality to counsel together and to determine whether peace or war should be the immediate policy of the government. The conferees were Senator Davis, chairman foreign relations committee; Senator Frye, of the same committee; Senators Hanna, Aldrich, Spooner and Boroughs. Thd details of the conference are not made public, but it is settled on the authority of a participant in the meeting that the principal object is vigorous action, and if this is not done, the senators said that Congress would break all bounds, spurning the Executive policy and declare war against Spain. The president explained the causes of the delay and said that he expected a cablegram momentarily which would form a practical conclusion of the agreement in the Cuban war. Late in the conference efforts were made to devise a method for holding Congress from radical and indepen dent action. The conference lasted until noon. NO MESSAGE TODAY. Washington, March 30 Secretary Porter announced this morning that the president would not send a mes sage to congress today. He explained that the president had decided to wait for a better feeling in congress and furthermore that he did not care to communicate with that body until he could present something more definite than merely to ask for a large appro priation to feed the starving Cubans. SEX ATE COMMITTEE IN SESSION. Washington, March 30 The senate committee on foreign affairs has been in session since nine o'clock this morn- ng. Several members of the commit tee called on the president. The four resolutions introduced in the senate yesterday in behalf of CAba were con sidered. It is impossible to predict the outcome. CONGRESS NOT WILLING. Washington, Mar. 30 The state, de partment 'received a cablegram last night from Minister Woodford an nouncing that the Spanish govern ment has decided to accept the offer made by the President that the Cubans purchase their land. It is not believed that either congress or the Cubans are willing to accept the proposition but if it is accepted congress declares that it docs not eliminate the Maine situation. FAILED TO REACH AN AGREEMENT. Washington, March 30 The senate foreign relations committee failed to reach an agreement at the meeting to day, referred the whole matter to the sub-committee and adjourned. BY PURCHASE. Washington, March 30 Secretary Day declares that Spain has definitely accepted the offer of the United States to secure the independence of Cuba by purchase. REED RULE IN HOUSE. Washington, March 30 Congress man Bailey introduced a resolution in the house declaring for the immediate independence of Cuba and demanding immediate consideration claiming the privilege of motion. Republicans op- nosed and defeated the claim. Reed ruled the resolution not in order; Bailey appealed to the house for de cision and the appeal was tabled. SPAIN ASKS FOR TIME. Washington, March 30 Spain asks until tomorrow to reply to the propO' sition of the United States for a settle ment of the Cuban question on the basis of armistice. Spain asks if the independence of Cuba is a condition of the proposition, to which Mr. McKin ley replies, "Yes." Bailey's demand was defeated in the house by a party vote. ASKING FOR REPORTS. Washington, March 30 Senator Frye hs- introduced a resolution callinc for consular reports re lating to conluct of the war in Cu ba, the condition of the people and othlr matters and asks its considera tion tomorrow. INTENSE EXCITEMEN. Washington, March 30 Feverishin terest in the Cuban questioned was ev idenced this morning by a long long line of spectators who had been wait ing since daylight for admission to the capitol. Today's developments and the action of the executive branch of the government within the next twenty four hours are eagerly awaited. The president is confronted with the neces sity of immediately adopting a definite policy or losing control of the situa tion by its being turned over to con gress. There is great excitement in the navy department on account of the report of the receipt of a cablegram from Madrid announcing the arrival this morning from Carthagena of the cruisers Mariathereffa, Christobal, Colon, one of the most powerful ships in the Spanish navy and a large torpedo boat destroyer. The destination of these ships is not known. NOTES FROM HIGH POINT. The Local News from Our Neighbor Briefly Told. Telegram Bureau. au. ) , '98. f High Point. N.C..

Some News and Some Opinions Regarding the Seemingly Pending Crisis. By Cable to The Telegram. London, Mar. 30 Intense excite ment is reported in Spain. The press censor has stopped all telegrams. A message received by a circuitous route says: The interview today between Minister Woodford and Senor Sagasta on the Cuban question and the Maine explosion is the chief topic discussed. Woodford's plan is practically an ul timatum. Sagasta gains time by not seeiog'the queen until tomorrow," . The extraordinary nature of the sit uation is shown by the fact that both the United States and Spain have thrown aside all forms of diplomatic etiquette and have taken sensational steps to direct personal negotiations between Minister Woodford and the Prime Minister. A MERE REHASH. By Cable The Telegram. Madrid, Mar. 3o The Spanish offi cials say that Minister Woodford's note of yesterday is merely a rehash of what he expressed on March 23d, expressing President McKinley's views on the Maine disaster and the question of relief for the Cubans.

New Yoi-k, Mar. 30 Former Chief Clerk Billings, of the Adams Express Company was arrested today. He is. charged with being short in his accounts. Time To Act. The Journal has never clamored for war with Spain. Jingoism is not one of the Journal's traits. This paper has steadfastly held to a policy of pa tience, trusting the president and congress to get the facts and act in telligently, and to preserve peace if consistent with the national honor. If that cannot be done we must have war, as a matter of course. But the Journal believes that the time has arrived for action. There is no reason for a continuance of the suspense in which the nation has been held for the past 60 days. President McKinlcy should maKe known his policy, and that at once. There is nothing to . be gained by tempor'zing and much to be lost. Let the country know, what to expect. Atlanta Journal. It's Different, You Know. It was iust after war had been de clared, and the quiet old man saw the noisy one sneaking away from an ex cited crowd. "WhaVs the matter?' asked the auiet man. "They're discussing the war, re plied the noisy one. "Well, you've been "yelling for war for the last two months, haven't your demanded the quiet man. "Of course I have," returned the noisv one.
