Spain's Last Dodge Caused

Congress May Break Away Today.
Message Goes to the Committee.

SPANISH
VESSELS
WAT.
HEAD THIS
The President's message went
to Congress as written last week.
But to it was added a recom
mendation which virtually
asked to give Spain more time.
This was a result of Spanish
Diplomacy, which caused to he
announced. that a cessation of
hostilities was decreed iu Cuba,
at the instance of the Pope.
The utter foolishness of this
is shown by the strong declara
tion by the Cubans that they
will have none of it.
A fresh chapter of insults
seems to have been added dur
irr the t departure of General
Lee from Havana, llis coun
trymen yesterday gave him an
ovation on his northward
journey.
Spain in declaring the cessa
tion of hostilities, has reserved
the right to continue her prep
arations for war. Her war ves
sels are in motion. At this
: writing the President of tho
United States seems to be the
only one deceived by Spain.
American property destroyed,
Cubans starved to death by
hundreds of thousands, the
battleship Maine treacherously
blown tip by a Spanish mine,
insulted by do Lome, our Con-sul-General
abused, WILL
CONGRESS DECLARE WAR
TO-DAY ?
Specl.il to Journal.
Washington, Vpril 11. The message
of President McKinley was finally sei.t to
Congress at noon today. It was as dig
many written but wliu an addition re-
sul ing from the declaration by Spain of
a ces'iilion of hostilities In Cuba,
Tbe message asks Congress to author.
ize and empower him to take measures
to secure a full and final termination to
hostilities, and secure the establishment
of stable government in Cubn, capahla
ot malutalng order and observing Its in
ternatiotial obligations. Insuring 'he
peace, tranquility and security of its
citizens, as well as ot our own. To
cure this the President asks the power
ti use such military and naval forces of
ths United States as may be nocessary
for three purpose. The continued dis
tribution of supplies Is recommended
Thecloteotthe message Is a follow;
'The issue is now with Congress, It Is
solemn responsibllly. I have exhausted
every effort to relieve the Intolerable
condition of affairs at our doors. I am
prepared to execute every obligation lov

through Minister Woodford, but makes !

regarding this
The President then adds a clause to lie
message that acknowledges thif receipt had been snubbed at the palace by O n
of iuformatian of a proclamation of sus-.eral Blanco and affronted by Dr. Con-
pension of hostilities between the Spanish
and Cuban armiesmade by tho Spanish
cabinet and then says:
"If the measure proposed by tbe
Spanish cabinet is successful, our aspira-l
tion as a Christian and peace loving
people will be realized. If it fails it will
only be another justification-for the con- j
templated action of this country." I
Both Houses listened in silence to the
reading of the message. At its conclusion
it was referred to the committee on
Foreign Relations.
The Senate committee on Foreign Re
lations, to which the message was
re-'
ferred, began immediately the discussion
of it. A resolution declaring for the with
drawal of Spanish troops from Cuba and
authorizing the President to use the army
and navy to enforce it will be reported
to the Senate tomorrow.
The general impression of the message
ot President McKinley is that it is weak,
a id that Congress will over ride it.
The New York Sun says that the mes
sage is a flat failure.
In accordance with the order of the
Spanish Cabinet, Captain General Blanco
issued a proclamation of a suspension of
hostilities in Cuba. General Blanco says
that this proclamation has been issued at
the request of the Pope.
To this proclamation the Cuban leaders
in New York and Washington are unani
mous in declaring that the Cubans will
not consent to a cessation of hostilities in
any form whatever. Wilhout exception
the members of tho Junta say that even
Spain stops fighting tho insurgents
will not.
General Lee is today on his way to
Washington. He is receiving unprece
dented ovations all along the route.
The Spanish armed cruisers Cristabcl,
Cjlon and Marie Theresa, which left
Cadiz the last of the week, passed South
by TennerifTe, Canary Islands, today.
Advices from Manilla, the capital of
the Philippine Islands, confirm the report
that the United States consul has de
parted from the city.
A telegram from Halifax, Nova Scotia,
states two United States cruisers were
sighted off that port today. They are
supposed to be the San Francisco and
the New Orleans which left Gravesend,
England, two weeks ago.
DEPARTURE OF LEE.

Key Wist, Fla., April 10. Consul
Ocncral Lee was so Indignant at the con
duct of the crowds who watched the de
parture of the refugees from Havana
yesterday that he wrote this note to be
sent by a pilot to General Blanco:
'You have broken every promise made
me. we nave been wbistlea at ana in
suited as we go. We will return, and
your whistle will be turned into another
tune."
General Lee tore this note up, how
ever, and as the pilot was leaving the
Fern he turned to him and gave this
verbal message to Blanco:
"You may tell General Blanco for me
that the Fern Is the last ship of the
American navy that will ever go out of
his Hsvana harbor while the Spanish flag
flies over Morro."
Beneath the shadow of Morro Caatle
some One brought out a bottle of cham
pagne and glasses and General Lee gave
this toast:
"Here's to the officers and men of the
Maine, which was blown up by a Span
ish mine.'
In responding Mr. Ackers, an English
subject said: "May fifty guns speak fur
each of the Maine's dead and esoh gun
mean fifty Spanish lives."
Asked If lib) toast was significant. Ix
replied: "It is significant as I speak
from the heart, not fiom the head."
General Lee also raid: "I believe It
my duty that I should be silo we 1 to lead
the first divlsioa on Havana, If I do,
please aay for me that I know how to
take tbe city."
Tonight gentleman who came from
Hsvana on the Fern with General Lee
stated that the Consul General had
assured him that h (Let) had possession
of the original documents, and would
give to the Washington authorities India
putabl evldenoe that Weyler bad planned
lo destroy any American warship just as
the Main was destroyed.

old. He presented the compliments ot
his mother and grandmot'ier. .
The consul general was indignant at
the insults heaped upon his head by the
Spanish officials and the populace. He
gosto. As the Fern, bearing the consular
representatives, left Havana harbor there
were cries of "Begone" from thousands
of throats
General Lee sent in his compliments to
General Blanco, with a request for an
audience. He was still consul-general
and desired to say that he took leave,
pending his return from the United
States. Instead of General Blanco came
Dr. Congosto, with a curt message tbat
the captain-general did not desire to see
Generall Lee again.
The consul-general was dumfounded.
Congosto bowed and withdrew, leaving
ucncrai ijib ooiung wiin inuigoaiion.
Consul Gollan, instead of leaving .with
General Lee, made an excuse that he had
to see Dr. Congosto on a personal errand,
nd remained behind. As General Lee
passed down the crowded staircase the
Spanish subalterns and attaches made
way for him, muttering insults and say
ing "Begone !" It is the duty ef soldiers
at the palace, when consular representa
tives appear, to stand at "attention." As
General Leo passed the soldiers remained
lounging about. Soon afterward General
Lee went on board the fern."
As the Fern passed the cruisor Al-
phonso XII a gun was trained on her by
tne cruiser. Uencral Lice saw it and
spoke of it. The gun was swung around
after the Fern bad passed. Covering the
rear of the fleet of refugees, the Fern
swept out to sea and headed for Key
West.

Worm Killer!
A highly valuable preparation,
capable, fiom the promptitude of
lis action, of clearing tho sys.em
in a few hours of every worm.
The origin, development, and
support of worms, in tbe human
system, are to bo attributed to a
depraved and debilitated condi
tion of the stomach and bowels; it
being an established fact tbat
where the digestion Is unimpaired,
and general powers ot the system
in a healthy state, they can find no
habitation. This preparation ha
the peculiar advantage of not only
destroying every worm, but also of
producing a iieaitny action ot tna
stomach and bowels, thereby re
lieving many complaints arising
from a derangement of tbe diges
tive organ.
There I no disease to which
children ar exposed which Is so
common and fatal as worms, and
this medietas should he kept In
overjr nursery and In every house
hild. This preparation not only
es'lrpalf th worms, but cleanse
the system nf the mucus la which
they ar ngtfiulerel, and promote
a healthy aullun ot lb dl(tlv
