The arrival of General Lee
in Washington and, his appear
ance before the Senate Commit
tee is a matter of great
importance.
The House and Senate Com-
mittes are firm. The indica
tions arc that they will not
consider the wishes of the
President.
There is nothing in the situ
ation, beyond the delay, to in
dicate that the end will be less
than the departure of Spain
from Cuba.
blew up the Maine.
Callers on (President McKinley say
that he baa now greater confidence that
some satisfactory settlement with Spain
can be made without resorting to hostili
ties. The President says that he believes
the sincerity of the Spanish govern
ment towards their promised reforms in
Cuba.
At a late hour the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations is still deliberating
garding the degree of activity with
hicb to Inspire the resolution to be re
ported. Not a member of the commit
tee is for any course short of armed
intervention
The House Committee on Foreign
Affairs has suddenly reassembled. There
is a rumor that an agreement has been
reached on a resolution and that the res
olution declares for the independence of
Cuba and the armed Intervention of the
United States.
Tha views of the London newspapers
reported today in regard to the Presi
dent's message are that its tendency is
warlike and leaves little hope .tor peace
and that the result of the message only
delays the coming crisis. At Berlin the
President's message is considered dila
tory and Is not regarded as indicating
peace.
A detachment of the first batalion of
the New York Naval Reserves left for
Philadelphia today to bring the Monitor
Nahant to New York City to form part
of the harbor defense.

Washington April 12. Ceneral Fitz-
bugb Lee arrived at the National Cap!
tal shortly before three o'clock and was
given a rousing welcome, Lee was
driven to the White House immediately
upon his arrival.
Thousands of wildly enthusiastio Vir
ginians met General Lee as he passed
through the city of Richmond. Govern'
or Tyler and his staff met Lee, and the
great multitude forced the General to
speak to them.
Lee said: "This la not the time to
speak. The time for action has arrived
What are you shouting for? Do you
want to fightr
Ten thouiand voices immediately rent
the air with a simultaneous shout of,
"yeil"
In the House today, the Democratic
members of the committee on Forelgi
Affair, withdrew In order to allow the
Republican member, of the committee to
Bgree upon a proposition upon which
they could unite.
A second session of the committee was
held in the afternoon, but it did not re-
suit In the presentation of any resolutions
in the House. This, resulted In the talk
of a Republican caucus of the members
of the House to decide upon a course of
harmonious action.
Tbo Democratic members of the House
decided to support any resolution declar
ing for Cuban independence and , armed
Intervention In Cuba.
In. the Senate the committee on Foreign
Relation, have delayed their report In
order to hear Lee. The Indication favor
a compromise proposition to harmonize
the various views ef the member.
Senator Gray is the only Democratic
member of the Senate wno is willing to
joto the Republican in eliminating from
th. l-uo the recognition of the Cuban
Republic. K the Republicans can be lined
up on this question, hi Tote will be
decisive.
If th proposed compromise resnlollon
I accepted it will be short and (harp. It
will be a decLratloo for Immediate la

Kingston, Jamaica April 11 It became
nown today that a few nights before
Pulaski F. Hyatt, the United States con
sul at Santiago de Cuba, left that port,
under Instructions, for Port Antonio, Ja
maica, a mob of Spaniards made a de
monstration before the consulate and
threw tomatoes, eggs and stones at the
Stars and Stripes flouting over the consulate.
Thecrowd which took part in this dem
onstration had just left a theatre, where
a performance had taken place for the
purpose of raising funds to increase the
itreogth of the Spanish navy. The Span
iards surrounded the consulate, shouting,
'Death to American3l""Long live Spain!"
etc., and pelted the flag. The mob was
dispersed by the police.

The performance of the comic opera

The first weather crop report was
issued today and is as follows:
i'The crop season of 1898 opened quite
favorably in North Carolina. Winter
and spring were uncommonly fine for
farm work, which made rapid progress,
and the warm, dry weather advanced
vegetation rapidly towards the end of
March, when nearly all fruit trees were
in bloom.
"The weather during the week ending
Monday, April Uth, was very uufavora
ble on account of the freeze Wednesday
morning and frosts on subsequent dates.
The temperature was more than 10 de
grees per day biHow the normal. The
rainfall on the 5th averaged over an
inch; the amount of sunshine was de
ficient, and the growth of vegetation
was slow. Notwithstanding serious
damage to fruit a largo percentage re
mains uninjured in many couuties.
Strawberries are safe. The injury to
truck crops was not as serious as anticipated.
Eastern District The entire week was
cool and unfavorable, stopping growth
of vegetation and delaying lanu work to
some extent. The rainfall on the 5tli
averaged over an inch throughout the
district and was followed by freezing
weather Wednesday morning with for-
mation of thin ice as far south as South
port. Frosts occurred subsequently every
morning to the 9th. The damage to fruit,
especially peaches, petrs and plums,
thought to be considerable, but conser
vative reporters estimate much still un
injured over large sections. Strawberries
were generally protected and escaped al
most uninjured, though ripening has
retarded. The greatest damage probably
occurred to truck: beans were destroyed
peas and Irish potatoes hurt, and Some
early corn was also cut down. Farm
woik is well advanced and started up
again latter part of the week. Much pro
gress has been mad ) in planting corn
potatoes and rice; ground is nearly ready
for cotton. Oats and wheat look well
tobacco plants are of good Bile. The
