The International Crisis. The events of another wee demonstrated that war with Spain had beééme inevitable. President McKinley: sent Wis message to Congress reviewing the situation in Cuba, recommending intervention’ to put an end to the ‘insufferable conditions prevailing there. By direction ef the Secretary of War, General Miles ordered the movement of twenty-two regiments af infantry, the Nght batterics of five: regiments of artil- lery and six regiments:of cavalry to Mobile, Chickamauga, New @rleans and Tampa. Joint resolutions were introduced in both the Senate and House the adoption of which would mean a practical declaration of war against Spain, in the light of the declaration of the government of that country that she woulé not «withdraw from Cuba without a fight, The:resolutions in both houses referred to the, Maine disaster as an act of Spanish treachery. The House of Representatives, by a vote of 322 to 19, passed resolutions reported from the com- mittee on foreign affairs, calling for im- mediate intervention by the United States to stop the war in Cuba. This action was taken amid great excitement, some of the members, during a discussion as to the method of procedure, engaging in personal encounters. Tle Senate received from the committee on foreign relations a report severely arraigning Spain for its work in Cuba and calling for immediate interven- tion by the United States; debate on reso- lutions based upon this report continued since Thursday. In an official note de- ivered by the Spanish minister to the Secretary of State Sunday Spain pl2ad- ed her innocence, recitéd the queen regent’s order for an armistice in Cuba, declared that suffering among the reconcentrados had ceased, and held that she was in no way responsible for the Maine disaster. The Spanish, government, while continuing its expressions for a peaceful solution, con- tinued to make the most active naval prep- arations for war. As a result of a pro- tracted cabinet meeting in Madrid another official note was issued, declaring that the American demands were an infringement of the rights of the Spanish nation, which they would energetically defend. The queen regent said she preferred the horrors of war to anything which would tarnish the Prestige of the army or impair the rights of the crown, The Madrid press declared that President *McKinley’s message was an insult to that nation, and urged Spaniards to bold action. Don Carlos further in- flamed the revolutionary spirit in Spain by @ manifesto, in which he declared that if the government's policy of humiliation continued the reins of government would be snatched from those who were unworthy to hold them. The pope was reported to have again appealed to the powers to use their influence for peace. 1t was reported the powers had agreed to a joint naval demonstration in Cuban waters against the United States. This report was denied at both London and Berlin. At the latest Spanish cabinet meeting it was decided to call parliament in session next Wednesday. The queen regent signed a decree calling for a national subscription to increase the navy, and headed the list with a subscrip- SELES SS ELSES SLE SESS SSG EEE EE SEG LLG HGS oe FINANCIAL. | FINANCIAL.

Baggage called for parts of xp 2y2 tion of 1,000,000 pesetas from her own purse. The Austrian ambassador in Lon- don_ admitted that he had given up hope of Eurepe preventing war. General Weyler arrived in Madrid and announced that he had tendered his services to the queen regent; the newspapers opposing the gov- ernment urged him to lead a_ revolution. Consul General Lee arrived in Washington Tuesday afternoon; crowds of enthusiastic people greeted him at stations in Florida and other points of the south, and in this city he was accorded a hearty reception. Before the departure of United States Consul Hyatt from Santiago de Cuba a mob of Spaniards threw eggs and stones at the American flag floating over the con- sulate. In spite of the armistice decree in Cuba, the Spanish authorities admitted that there had been several skirmishes. The testimony given''by Consul General Lee and Captain Sigstee before the Senate committee on foreign relations regarding the destruction of .the , Maine pointed strongly to Spanish treachery, though Gen. Blanco was exonerated; Gén. Lee's state- ments concerning thé bloWing up of the Maine were violently denounced in Madrid.
