A Feature of the Day Our Romulus Z. Lln-

Arouses Enthusiasm In Calling Over
Names of Patriots His State Has Fur
nished in the Past, and Characterizes
Fitzhugh Most Happily, Whereby He
Gains Great Applause Not a Vote In
the Negative.
By. Telegraph to The Morning Post.
Washington, March 8. Party lijjes
were obliterated in the House today.
and the bill appropriating $50,000,000 to
be expended under the direction of the
President for the National defense was
passed by the vote of 311 to 0.
This result was reached after a fqur
hours' debate, in which the Democrats
and Populists vied with the Republi
cans in expressing confidence in the
President, and a determination to up
hold the administration in its efforts
to put the country in a state of proper
defense.
The only discordant notes came in a
speech from the Republican side deliv
ered by Bingham, of Philadelphia, and
an objection made by Barrett,' of Mas
sachusetts (afterwards withdrawn), to
the request for unanimous consent to
an arrangement for consideration, be
cause he could not secure the promise
that an amendment he wanted passed
would be considered. Both of them were
roundly hissed.
The occasion was a notable one, and
as Gen. Henderson said, the lesson of
the day was a beautiful one for- he
country.
Nearly a hundred members of the
House seized the opportunity to ex
press their loyalty and devotion and
pledge the patriotic support of their
people to the administration.
When the vote was reached every
Representative present recorded his
name in the affirmative, amid great en
thusiasm that has not been equalled
since the days of 1861; and better than
then for today the whole people are
united.
The galleries were crowded, and join
ed in the applause that greeted the
patriotic "sentiments' expressed; bit tire
floor. -. .
Only a few attaches of the foreign le
gations sat in the diplomatic galleries,
but they witnessed the demonstration
that, in face of danger from a foreign
foe, there are no divisions among the
American people or their Representa
tives in the Congress. ...
MR. LINNEY'S REMARKS.
A noticeable feature today was the
patriotic speeches of Southerners. Lin
ney, of North Carolina, said:
"Mr. Speaker: Yesterday was a day
of discord and strife in this body.
(Laughter.) We had nine roll calls;
today we stand as one man. Why? Be
cause as American citizens we may be
partisan, but, emulating the example of
the great Douglass, when in a great
emergency like this, we must be
patriots. (Applause.)
"Therefore we stand as a unit today.
Every possible phase of political opin-
on is represented upon this floor, and
yet when the roll call comes, some-.J
thing will happen that probably has not
happened in a quarter of a century be
fore and every -man will answer Aye.'
"Some gentlemen have said they vote
on this measure exclusively as a peace
measure. I would to God that I could
see it that way! For an old Confeder
ate soldier, suffering from the wounds
received in 1863, does not like war.
"But I fear the booming of cannon is
not in the far distant future. Not that
we are to blame, but that the foreign
power is to blame."
Mr. Hay, Democrat, of Virginia,
aroused great enthusiasm by reviewing
the list of great names his State had
given to the country's history, includ
ing Fitzhugh Lee "who stood for
American courage, fidelity and patriot
ism in Cuba today.
Mr. Jones, Democrat, of Virginia, re
gretted that the appropriation was not
twice the amount named in the bill.

Special Despatch to The Morning Post.
Washington, March 8 Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee will remain at Havana
as the representative of the United
States government: but while that is
so, and while the Spanish government
has withdrawn its official request for
his removal, it is the fact that he will
remain there as an unwelcome guest.
.That his life is in more or less dan
ger not from any harm that could
come to him from Spain officially, but
from the stijetto of treacherous Span
iards in their private capacity is very
evident. This fact has been made
manifest within the last two or three
days particularly. He is thoroughly
hated and feared by the average Span
iard and by the Spanish government.
To this fact is largely due the send
ing of the cruiser "Montgomery" to
Havana. "To keep watch over General
Cee," as an official here expressed it
today, is the chief mission of the "Mont
gomery just now, and he will be close
ly looked after from ow on, lest he
should meet with a physical attack
from some Spanish hotheads, inspired
by the incendiary utterances against
him by the Spanish and Cuban press,
the La Lucha particularly.
PERSONNEL OF "MONTGOMERY."
.In going to Havana, it is not thought
that the "Montgomery" is taking any
particular risks at this time, for even
siould hostilities break out, it is a rule
o? honorable warfare that they be given
safe convey out of the water or the
hostile country. Of course, Gen. L'ee
and -the members of the court of en
quiry at Havana would be equally ex
empt from molestation.

men of all classes.'
SILENCE OF THE HAVANA PRESS.
The silence of the Havana newspapers
on the attempted. Lee recall incident is
something remarkable. Not a single
editorial comment was made in any
of yesterday's papers, though brief des
patches giving the simple fact that the
President of the United States "was
not inclined to recall General Lee" were
printed, witn the additional statement,
wired them from Washington, that "the
President approves of the administra
tion of affairs at Havana by General
Lee and he will not substitute any one
else in the present stage of diplomatic
negotiations." ,
PURCHASE OF WARSHIPS ABROAD
A naval officer, representing the Navy
Department, will start for Europe this
evening for the purpose of inspecting
some of the warships there, which are
understood to be for sale.
As has already been stated in The
Post, for some time the officials or the
Navy Department have been quietly
securing information through our naval
attaches abroad regarding the ships
which can be purchased. There are
quite a number of cruisers and armored
vessels to be obtained, three in Ger
many, on which the Chinese govern
ment has defaulted payment; several at
the Armstrong yards in England, some
in Italy and two at Cramps' yards in
this country, which are just being com
pleted for the Japanese government. It
is expected that when our representa
tives announce that they are able to
pay cash for any ships, .they will be
enabled to command reasonable prices.
The chief concern is to obtain options
on these vessels before they are secured
py Spain, thus frustrating any attempt
which the latter may make to add to Its
naval fleet.
claiming that she had made it under
a misapprehension.
It is believed that this misapprehen
sion was due to the belief that Genera
Lee's opinion that the disaster of the
"Maine" was the result of a deliberate
explosion was officially expressed. This,
it is said,, was not the case, but was
merely an unofficial letter. It is stil
recognized, of course, that Spain re
sents many of Gen. Lee's actions, nota
bly his sympathy-Zwlth .the insurgent
cause, but no formal oomplaint has been
laid before the State Department, so
that the dissatisfaction' has not reached
a stage where it would result in the
suspension of diplomatic relations.
V EYLER S ALLEGED PURCHASE
OF EXPLOSIVES.
ine rew York Journal of today
contains a sensational story to the ef
fect that General Weyler. the former
Captain General of Cuba, bought
large amount of powder four months
ago of a New York firm, whose name
is given. The powder it is stated, was
shipped to Havana last November
Lieutenant White, of the Twenty-third
regiment, N. G. of New Y'ork, is given
as an authority for this statement. The
claim is made that this powder and
a large quantity of other explosives
were shipped to Havana on the steamer
Condal about November 20.
It is asserted that the two National
Guardsmen who had charge of the ex
plosives on behalf of the company, were
Capt. G. F. Hamlin and Lieutenant
White. Hamlin is the manager of the
company, .while White is the bookkeep
er. On account of the large quantity
of powerful explosives and cable recoils
purchased, it is inferred that Capt. Gen-
ral Weyler wished to use the articles
in the construction of a dynamite mine

NIGHT.
By Cable to The Morning Post.
Havana, March 8, via Key West, Fla.,
March 8. Fierce fighting is going on
around Havana and in Pinar del Rio
Province; wild excitement against the
United States among the Spanish resi
dents and volunteers, and terror among
the Cuban families over the renewal of
Weyler's cruelties and his methods of
persecution, are the leading features of
today's news.
There is no doubt that the Americans
here now are in great danger, and that
Blanco has thrown off the mask of
meekness, with which he tried to im
press himself in the favor of public
opinion in the LTnite States, and is
now fully satisfying the bloody instincts
of the most rabid partisans of Weyler.
The Spaniards here are showing the
greatest enthusiasm . ;or war against
EXCUSE FOR RENEWED CRUELTY
One of the causes of complaint against
the United States - publicly "expressed
from Blanco down td the last volunteer.
s that the United States is sending war
supplies to insurgents in cases said to
contain food for starving reconcentra-dos.
In less than three days over eighty
well known persons in Havana have
been thrown in the dungeons at La
Cabana and Morro Castle with the same
harshness and cruelty as im the time of
Weyler. .
The police declare that they have dis
covered and seized four large cases con
taining dynamite with which the con
spirators intended to blow up the build-

SPAIN'S HOSTILITY TO LEE MADE
CLEAR.
When the request for General Lee's
recall was first received here there was
some uncertainty as to the attitude of
the Spanish government towards that
official. But this has now been cleared
up.
' It can now be stated authoritatively
that Spain made its unofficial intima
tion to the State Department last Sat
urday, suggesting that Lee be recalled
as a means of assuring the continua
tion of friendly relations and the aban
donment of the policy of sending war
ships, as also recommended. As is now
well known, both requests were refused,
but the incident was closed yesterday,
so far as Gen. Lee was concerned by
Spain's withdrawal of her suggestion.
War Department Issues orders for Recruit
ing Two Artillery Regiments
By Telegraph to The Morning Post.
Washigton, March 8. Without delay
the officers of the Adjutant Gerieral's
Department yesterday gave the neces
sary orders for the recruiting of the
two new artillery regiments authorized
by Congress. The purpose is to enlist
such men as have had service in the
artillery wherever possible, and no
doubt is entertained that plenty of ma
terial of the right kind will offer. The
names of the officers of the new, regi
ments are now Jbelng selected. As for
the men, it is the plan to assign fifteen
soldiers from existing artWlery regi
ments as the nucleus of each new com
pany to take hold of and break in the
new men who are enlisted, and it Is ex
pected that in a very short time Uncle
Sam will have two good regiments.
The headquarters of one of these
regiments will be established at Fort
Slocurn, in Long Island Sound, com
manding New Y'ork, as suitable quar
ters are available there. The destina
tion of the other regiment h" net een

France Has Already Overstepped the

By Cable to The Morning Post
London, March 8. European diplo
mats regard the international situation
in the Old World at present far more.'
critical than that between the United
Stater and Spain.
There is no longer much doubt that
Great Britain.'s declaration that she
wculd go to war rather than be de
prived of her markets In the Far East
or suffer the dismemberment of China,
will soon be put ,to the test.
Russia and France are apparently
detei mined to disregard the recent
British assertions of a limit, beyond
which she would not allow her rivals
tc trespass.
These limits have now been over
spread, both in China and in West
Africa, and Europe is waiting to know
what Great Britain's" answer will be.
Two years ago. In a less serious crisis.
it was the sudden equipment of her
flying squadron. It will require some
thing more formidable today.
Victoria never ventures to Interfere

unless a war Is practically in sight.
She has done so now, by postponing
her visit to Riviera under theconvenient
fiction Of indisposition.
But England is preparing for war-
war on even a more extensive scale
than the United States.
AFTER WARSHIPS TOO.
Not only is there the greatest activity
in the naval and war departments, but '
there is credible authority for stating
that Great Britain is herself negotiating '
fo half a dozen warships which Spain
is trying to! secure.
Russia also has been a persistent bid
der for three ships now being con-
strutted, for Chili., w ' , - .
ENGLISH-AMERICAN ALLIANCE, ,
A despatch from Washington tonight
nterprets Ambassador Pauncefote's In
tel view with President ( McKinley as
having reference to the Cuban crisis.
London gives a different slgnificance
to It.
It is well known that Great Britain
values American sympathy with her
pollcv of open markets In China and
wculd like to put that sympathy to a)
practical test now.
Furthermore, the British government
would be willing, under certain clrcum
starces, to render quid pro quo to the
Tnited States In the Cuban-Spanish
complications.
It is believd that the British Ambas
sador" has been authorized to say .as 1
much to President McKinley.

Washington, March 8. The appropri
ation of $50,000,000 for the National de
fense, for which provision was made in
the bill, which was passed by the
House today. will not involve
the issue of bonds. This announcement
was made by the Treasury officials,
who stated that the Treasury was am
ply prepared to meet any demands that
will likely be made upon it. On Febru
ary 1st the cash in the Treasury
amounted to $S56.571,766, of which $204.

QUEEN VIC. NOT ILL.
By Cable to The Morning Post.
London, March 8. The departure of
the' Queen for Cimiez, which had been
arranged to take place tomorrow, has
beer postponed. The reason given is
that her Majesty was suffering from
a slight Indisposition.
Th'n caused the afternoon newspapers
to come out with alarming scare-heads
ami wild rumors were afloat this after-
nooii. Later it was found, however,
that her Majesty's Journey was post
poned solely for political reasons, due
to an intense desire to prevent war
from growing out of the present grave
crisis' with France and Russia. '
