This morning at 11:30 o'clock, in St.
Andrews Episcopal church, Mr. E.
Lacy Clark and Miss Mamie Furger
son were united in the holy bonds of
matrimony. Rev. J. D. Miller officia
tiong. The church was prettily decorated
with potted plants and cut flowers.
The ushers were the first to enter.
Mr. Thomas Glascock and Mr. Eu
gene McNairy entered from the rear
door, followed Mr. Bartlet Webster
and Mr. Clarence Bogart. The four
gentlemen arranged themselves on
either side of the altar. Following
the ushers came Miss Mamie Furger-

ban and United States flags. The car
is being forwarded via the Southern
railway and Baltimore and Ohio's fast

This is the fourth car of provisions
sent from Atlanta by the Atlanta'Jour
nal to the starving Cubans, and the
railroads are handling the cars free of
all expense to New York, from which
point they are forwarded by the Ward
Line steamers.
This shows that the newspapers are

HOPES FOR EARLY ACTION,
Discussion on the Resolutions in
the Senate.
SPANISH MINISTER RECALLED.
The House Adopted the Majority
Report by an Overwhelming Vote,
The Situation Today.
By Wire to Thi Tkl.bgb.am.
Washington. April 14 The presi
dent's callers this morning included
Secretaries Bliss, Alger and Long and
Senators Faulkner and Cullom. Al
ger and Long called to see Mr. Mc
Kinley for consultation over the latest
plans of the army and navy for the
inauguration of hostilities.
When Senator Cullom left the White
House he said he was certain the sen
ate would not pass the Cuban resolu
tions today. He also said it was only
a question of a few days when both
houses would agree upon a resolution
which would result in war.
FOR ARMED INTERVENTION.
The Telegram received the following
message at eight o'clock last night and
its contents were given to the people
by bulletin. There are,- however, a
number of readers of this paper who
did not see it and we print it this after
noon: Washington, April 13, 7:48 p. m.
After the most exciting scene in many
years the house rejected the minority
report by a vote of 150 to 191. The
majority report was then adopted by a
vote of 324 to 20. This is equivalent
to a declaration of war.
SPANISH MINISTER RECALLED.
Washington. April 14. The Span
ish minister has been recalled. He
leaves the interests of his country in
charge of the French ambassador.
I-V.K'f? EPT1MNV.
. .i ,:ir.gton, April 14 The testi
mony of General Lee before the sen
ate committee on foreign relations,
nr,nd- public today, constitutes a book
of six hundred and fifty pages and in
cludes not only the testimony taken
since the Maine disaster but much that
was taken before and running back a
year or more.
The statement which contains the
greatest current interest is that on the
12th General Lee said he was informed
on very good authority that the Span
iards had placed two rows of torpe
does just at the mouth of Havana
harbor within the past two months
subsequent to the Maine disaster anc"
that the switchboard is in Morro Cas
tle. He had no information of the plac
ing of torpedoes before the Maine was
destroyed or regarding the purchase
abroad by Spain. He had no reason
to suppose that the harbor was mined
at all before the Maine disaster. Web
er's letter led him to believe that
mines were placed previous to the
Maine incident.
THE PRESIDENT'S PREFERENCE.
Washington, April 14 The Man
grove has been ordered to Norfolk to
get supplies for th,e cruisers at Key
West.
A committee from the Senate cou-
sisting of Allison, Aldrich Gorman,
Faulkner and Gray held a long con
ference with the president regarding
the action of the senate on the resolu
tions. The president requested no ac
tion until tomorrow. He has carefully
analyzed the resolutions of the house
and the senate and expressed a pref
erence later for the house resolutions.
There is a strong contrast between
tho meeting today and that of yester
day. There are few members on the
floor and the galleries are deserted.
WEAK AND PUERILE.
Washington, April 14 A memorial
asking for the repeal of the navigation
laws in the event of war so that Amer
ican ships can fly foreign flags was
referred to the committee on commerce
on motion of Senator Hale.
Senator Penrose had read to the
senate a telegram from Philadelphia
calling the house resolutions dish
water and demanding the passage of
the senate declarations.
Senator Turner began a speech on
the Cuban resolutions in the advocacy
of armed intervention immediately
He said the president was weak and
puerile.
Senator Hoar will follow Senator
Turner. Conservative senators have
decided to make a fight for the house
resolutions and will act in concert to
that end. An effort is being made to
have the senators entertaining differ
ent views unite upon the majority re
port with orders to secure an early
action. Conferences looking to this
end have been in progress all day.
Chairman Davis says the committee
will push the Cuban resolutions with
all diligence and hopes for- an early
action. Those who. favor an early
action are disposed to hold continu
ous sessions if any disposition is shown
to delay by debate. The more radical
members say they have votes enough
to adopt the Turpie amendment recog
nizmg the Cun-.n Government. Those
who think this possible are of the
opinion that the house and senate will
then compromise on substantially the
majority resolutions of the senate
committee n foreign relations.
a THOUSAND MULES.,
Washington, April 14 The trans
portation department has just given an
order for the purchase of a thousand
mules.
NEGOTIATIONS PENDING.
Niw York, April 14 Negotiations

placed in the sound.
A WAR CORRESPONDENT.
New York, April 14 War Corre
spondent McIIugh, of the London Tele
graph, has arrived on the Majestic
and expects to accompany the Ameri
can fleet.
AT CHIC AMAUG A .
Chattanooga, April 14 The Twenty-
fifth infantry arrived here today and
will go into camp at Chicamaua thfs
afternoon. This, is the first regiment
of army forces which will occuy the
historic battlefield.
MAY STAY IN SESSION ALL NIGHT.
Washington, pril 14 The feeling
prevails that the senate will stay in
session all night unless a time to vote
is set. Expect to set some time to
morrow.
HOAR UPHOLDS M' KIN LEY.
Washington, April 14 Senator
Hoar declared that he approves of
what the president has done and of
what he has refrained from doing. He
ikes the president for holding out for
peace so long as there was any hope
for peace with honor. Senator Hoar
says that persons who suffer most by
.modern war are npt the men who pro
voke the war.
FOUR STEAMERS CONTRACTED FOR.
Washington, April 14 Secretary of
Navy Long has contracted for the St.
Paul, St. Louis, New York and Paris,
four of the American Line steamers.
They are to be returned after the war
and owners paid for all damage sus
tained.
Changed to Key West.
By Wire to The Telegram.
Washington, April 14 Key West
and not Chicamauga is to be the front
of the armv. The change was made in
a twinkling.
To Leave Cuba.
By Cable to Thk Telegram.
Havana, April 14. Advices just re
ceived here from the city of Santiago,
Cuba, say that many families hare
combined to charter a British steamer
for thj purpose of transporting them
to Jamaica until the end of hostilities
between the United States and Spain.
In the Montana Mountains.
By Wire to The Telegram
Blackfoot, Mont., April 14 The
boomer rush to cede the mineral strip
of the Blackfoot reservation began
early this morning when the six o'clock
signal to start was given. The com
pany of United States -cavalry that
has been holding the seekers after
riches in check gave way as the snow
is six feet deep in the mountains. The
boomers have abandoned their horses
and are proceeding on snow shoes.
WHAT GIBBONS CAN PROVE.
Thinks he Can Fasten the Crime of
the Maine Disaster.
London, April 14 The Daily Mail
publishes this morning an interview
with Joseph Panell Gibbons, the sub
marine expert, in which he ridicules
the Spanish denials of his statement as
to the sale by him of submarine mines
to Spain, and declares that he can
prove that the United States warship
Maine was wilfully and deliberately
blown up.
What is more, according to the
Daily Mail's report, he thinks it pos
sible to reduce the explosion to the
act of two men, or oven to one indi
vidual.

Madrid,"April 14 The Spanish cab
inet minister announces that should
President McKialey notify Spain to
evacuate Cuba, the Spanish govern
ment will most emphatically refuse and
that it is fully prepared to take the
consequences.
WHAT LONDON PAPERS SAY.
London, April 14 The afternoon
papers today will print long comments
on the evil of leaving the issue "peace
or war" in the hands of congress.
Not one of the papers, however, ques
tion the duty of the United States to
intervene in Cuba, but they are dis
posed to criticize the methods pro
posed. The Westminster Gazette says:
'The scene in the house and senate
are, in the main, hardly edifying, but
they are the inevitable results ofjthe
peculiar provisions of the constitution,
which disarm the Executive and com
pel the last steps in the most"" perilous
crisisto be taken in blazing publicity.
REVLUTIONARY DEMONSTRATION.
London, April 14 According to a
special dispatch this afternoon from
Madrid, there was a big revolutionary
demonstration at Valencia last even-
QUIET IN HAVANA.
Havana, April 14 All is very quiet
here today. Business is being trans
acted in all circles. Hot weather pre
vails. People are discussing the sus
pension of hostilities and President
McKinley's message to congress.
WAR INEVITABLE.
Madrid, April 14 The newspapers
all regard war as inevitable.
STILL FIGHTING IN CUBA.
Havana, April 14 Despite the sua-
pension of hostilities it is offically re
ported that several skirmishes have
taken place in Santa Clara. Word
received from St. Thomas reports that
there is great dissatisfaction over the
stopping of the mail service.
MAJ. GUTHRIE IS A JINGO.
He Blows a Drummer Up From The
Outside About Spain.
Maj. William A. Guthrie is some
thing of a jingo and very much of a
humorist. He has no patience with
the President's policy in dealing with
Spain or with Spain's treatment of
Cuba and he was saying so in pretty
forcible language at the Yarborough,
when a drummer who was very wise in
his own conceit walked up and made a
few remarks characteristic of men of
his wisdom.
"I approve of everything the Presi
dent has done," hesaid. "We've got
no cause for war. And as to Fitzhugh
Lee, he's made an ass of himself. He
talks too much. He had no business
while in Havana, opening his mouth
in regard to the condition of affairs."
"Right you are, my friend," said
the Major, who can, of-, all men be
most sarcastic when he tries. "We've
got not right talking about it any
Ahere. The Spaniards say we are
hogs, we can grunt but we have no
right to talk."
This gave the drummer rather a set
back, for he had enough sense to see
he was being made fun of.
"Well, certainly, you can't deny,"
he ventured, "that we had no right to
send the Maine to Havana."
"Why of course we didn't! Do you
know, my friend, this is a dangerous
practice letting our war vessels go
out to sea. They ought, under no cir
cumstances, to be allowed more than
three miles from shore. As well say a
man has a right to take his wagon
from his barnyard out into the road
and use it. Any man who would do
such a thing ought to be indicted. No,
sir, our ships are for ornament and
not for use. The Maine should, never
have been sent as far away from home
as Havana, and the American boy
should keep his mouth shut."
The drummer didn't open his mouth
again to the Major on the Spanish
American situation. News and Ob

THE POPE UPSET.
Prays That His Pontificate flay Not
- End in the Smoke of Battle.
London, April 14 The Rome corre
spondent of the Daily News says: The
Pope is exceedingly upset by the latest
developments of the Hispano-Ameri
can question, which seems turning in a
way he had hoped and tried to avert
this morning. This morning, ' having
said mass in the Sistine chapel, he
turned to those around, him and ex
claimed: - "I have prayed God with
the whole force of my being, and with
the deepest ferver, to avert this sad
war, and not to allow my pontificate
to end in smoke of battle. Otherwise
have implored the Almighty to take
me to Himself that I may not behold
such a sight."
The Pope has dispatched to Empe
ror Francis Joseph in answer to a tel
egram from His Majesty, a messege in
Italian, thanking him for his kindness
and for the way in which he had re-
8pcmded to the Pope's request. The
Pontiff begged him to make a last
trial by using his good offices with the
heads of other States to spare the
world the horrors of war. As is
patent to all, Leo XIII, has done ev
erything humanly possible, but war
is now considered almost upon us even
by the most optimistic.

ndustrial College, returned home yes
