Washingtonr April 2 The sub com
mittee of the senate .committee on' for
.J.
eign affairs appointed to draft a re
port and prepare a form of resolutions
outlining the course of action which
this government shall pursue in refer
ence to Cuba have come to a conclu
sion and will report to the full com
mittee. They will recommend the adoption
of a resolution declaring n the first
place for the recognition of he Cu
ban republic, and in the second place
for the intervention of the United
States with her army and navy for the
purpose of assisting Cuba to secure in
dependence in case Spain refuses to
concede it.
The committee will treat the rescind
ing order for concentration of the Cu
ban non-combatants as a subterfuge
and will dwell upon the past if not the
present treatment of the unfortunates
and will describe the Maine disaster,
representing it as sufficient cause for
declaring war if this country is desir
ous of making it such. It will also
touch upon the injury to American
interests caused by the Cuban strug
gle as full justification for our inter
ference. THROWS BLAME ON CUBANS.
Washington, Apr. 2 The Spanish
minister has given out a statement, the
purport of which is to eonnect the
Cubans with the Maine disaster.
SENATOR PRESTON'S VIEWS.
New York, April 2 Senator Pres
ton, who recently told in a speech of
the the wretched condition of the re-
concentrados says, that Cuban inde
pendence should be immediately rec
ognized; that our coast defense is
strong and that our navy is better
than Spain's.
HOPEFUL BUT NOT SANGUINE.
Washington, April 2 Congress has
recovered somewhat from the excite
ment which almost carried that body
off its feet. The diplomatic issue has
been made up and the president will
now submit the whole facts in the
Cuban case to Congress.
It seems improbable that the ultima
tum will go with Spain although the
president has not given up all hope of
peace. Leaders who have been in
consultation with Mr. McKinley today
say he is hopeful but not sanguine
and that there is yet another chance
for peace.
NAVY SECURES MORE VESSELS.
Washington, Apr. 2 Six additional
vessels for naval service have been
bought or arrangements made for this
purpose by the navy department out
of the fifty million dollar emergency
fund.
M' KIN LEY WILL ANSWER TODAY.
Washington, Apr. 2 McKinley will
send his answer to Spain today. His
reply will be brief and Ominous, stat
ing by inference that the only course
left for the United States is war. The
president will inform Guillon through
Minister Woodford that the reply of
the Spanish government has been re
ceived and submitted to Congress for
their consideration. McKinley will
devote today and tomorrow in the prep
aration of his message which will not
be sent to congress before Tuesday or
Wednesday.
It is understood that in the event of
war the French ambassador at Wash
ington will protect Spain's interests
here and the French embassador at
Madrid will protect American inter
ests in Spain.
NAVAL CADETS ORDERED TO DUTY.
Annapolis, April 2 The members of
the first class of the naval academy,
who otherwise would have graduted
in June, were today detached and or
dered to ships of various fleets.
SHIPMENTS OF AMMUNITION .
Brooklyn, April 2 The shipments

and shells from the navy yard are the
largest in the history of the -station.
All the shipments are consigned south
presumably to the flying squadron at
Hampton Roads and to the vessel at
Key West. Any information concern
ing destination of consignments denied
The Texas is now painted a slate col
or and has been repaired and is ready
for service at any day.

THESE WANT NO WAR.
Washington, April 2 Peace-at-any-price
politicians are urging congress
men, senators, and constituents to
avoid war.
NO ULTIMATUM YET.

not issued any ultimatum ' but simply
notified Spain that her answer is un
satisfactory. PRESDDENT HOLDS CONSULTATION.
Washington, Apr. 2 Three mem
bers of the cabinet, Long, Alger and
Gage, together with Assistant Secre
tary Day and various party leaders,
are in consultation with the president.

visit here next Monday night, April
4th, at the Academy of Music.
Among the novel features of the

taking chorus of nursery rhymes given
by several charming little tots, none of
whom is over seven years old; a
Siamese wedding ceremony reproduced
accurately in every detail; a real
steam launch and a royal barge float
ing among French men of war at
anchor in the harbor of Bangkok; and

NOTICE IN SPANISH PAPERS.
Madrid, April, 2 A semi-official

turn for indemnity.

Butler on Caldwell.
Washington, April 1 When Sena
tor Butler was asked today what he
thought- of Railroad Commissioner
Caldwell's vote to restore passenger
rate he said: "I was astonished at his
action and deeply regret it. Mr.
Caldwell's statement that he was
forced to vote to restore the old rates
because no one advancedjargument to
refute the statement made by the rail
roads is untolerable and absurd, first
and above all the commission is a
court of inquiry. They are given
power to examine the books of the,!
railroads; nobody else is Jiven that
power and therefore they alone are in
position to ascertain the facts. It is
the duty of the commission to ascer
tain the facts and not sit idle and ren
der a decision on a partisan and ex
parte statement." Congresman Fow
ler thus expressed himself: "I have
nothing to say, Commissioner Cald
well's conversion seems to have been
both suddenly and radical. I am
willing to leave the genuineness of it
to be passed upon by his conscience
and the voters of the State."
