Washington, D.C., June 15.—The | president came back to Washington with two strong inclinations formed ; about Cuba. 1. To intarpose no further objec- | tion to the paseage of the belliger- ency resolution. 2. To appoint Stewart L. Wood- ford, of New York,Minister to Spain. “Let the people have their way,” the president is reported to have said tersely when asked by a senator as to his intentions in Cuban affairs. He is satisfied that public sentiment demands the passage of the resolu- tion. His tripto the south has en- abled him to judge somewhat of the feeling on the subject. The dispo- sition is strong in him to let the leaders of the house know that ac- tion there will not in any way em- barrass his policy. When the reso- lution comes to him he will sign it.

He has repeatedly urged Jobn G. Carlisle to write a history cf the Treasury of the United States while he was in control.

Senators asserted that there were in progress negotiations looking to annexation, but they would uot aver that they knew atreaty had been drawn nor would they give any assurances that it would be soon sent to the Senate. In private converzation with other Senatora, however, they gave iafor- mation that was definite enough to satisfy those with whom they talked thut the treaty was not only to be sent in, but that it was now drawn and only awaiting the signature of the twe governments to complete it. It is known that the approval of the committee on foreign relation is ss- sured as eight members of the com- mittee have approyed its terms. This will enable the committee to speedily | report the treaty to the Senate, so that it may be taken up immediately | after the tariff bill is disposed of. | Fourteen Killed. : London, June 12.—A terrible rail- | cident occurred at Osmestry. | Salcp County, this morning.in which | 14 persons were killed and 25 injur In Terror.
