Warns His Lieutenants to Look at the Question Philosophically. Washington, April 2.— Speaker Beed a day or two ago warned his lieutenants to look at the question of Cuban independence philosophically, , and to explain the situation to their colleagues, He said, ‘Recognition of independence is equivalent to s declaration of war. When the Cu- bans say that they want nothing but a recognition of their independence, they know that it would mean war between this country and Spain, If we recognize Cuban indepeadence ‘we must send a minister to their cap- ital andy consuls to their ports; and, “mark you, we must protect our dip- lomatic representatives. We must also have commerce with Cuba, and we must protect our ocean carrying trade, That means war, of course. “Therefore, whatever we do, we must do with a full knowledge of the consgquences to be faced." inge as it may appear, this ex- planation of a matter of f news to the gentfemen to whom it was made.

The cabinet meeting yesterday morning was un- questionably the most important held in many years. It received Spain's answer to the ultimatum of this gov- ernment, and finding it unsatisfac- tory, practically decided upon a pol- icy which at this hour seems cer- tainly to involve hostilities. President McKinley, it is said, will notify the Spanish government today that there will be no more negotia- tions, and Minister Woodford’s recall will follow, and Polo will receive his pasports. The President held a conference yesterday with the straegy board, and the first step of a naval campaign was discussed. It is understood that the Iowa and New York will sail from Key West to Havana today. The object is said to be to bring Consul General Lee and other American officials oway from Cuba. The Spanish government is his message to ate tempting to interest France and Rus- sia in arbitration, It is said that the Spanish fortifications, both in Spain and Spanish possessions, are in good condition. he only hope that the peace par- ty has left is that foreign powers will ask for mediation, and that is rather a slender probability, as this country. would not accept mediation, ‘The President, the secretary of the navy, the secretary of war and Gen, Miles, chief of the army, are in favor of a week's delay before precipitate tion, They say that we arenot ready just now for war and they know.

THAT TORPEDO FLEET Has Not Piaaiel ane Rico Yet, But is Getting There Fast. Washington, April The rumor that the Spanish torpedo fleet had reached Porto Rico proves to have been premature, though it is near its destination and islooked for on Mon day, The Spanish cruisers Vizcaya,aud Aquendo which yesterday sailed from Havana, have gone to Porto Rico and not for some American port as was at first rumored. These cruisers have gone to protect the torpedo fleet it is supposed.

C., April 2.— The administration is set in its be- lief tow that Spain does not intend to yield, but is only haggling for time to land her fleet of torpedo boats in Cuba, In this international game, every minute is valuable to Spaiv. 1t is argued that if Spain in- tended to meet this government half way it would have expressed some sympathy over the Maine, and not further ‘inflame the people of this country by reflection on the person- nel of the board. Instead of any overture acts of con jon, Sp has been preparing ominously for a struggle on both sea and land. Her hope for intervention by European counties has died. All parties in Spain are united now against this country. A war will rally to the support of the young Alphonso, the republicans and the Carlists, A plomat told me last night that there was no division of opinion here as to what Spain would do. t Insurgents Use Dynamite’ Havana, April 2.—The insurgents, it is announced to-day, have wrecked with dynamite a freight train near Guanalana, province of Matonz injuring the enigneer and a man, [ Report That He Is Under Arrest Near Dexter, Ky.
