Cruel and Bloody Fight in the Arena in the City of Mexico, City of Mexico, April 12.—Five thousand people witnessed a cruel and bloody fight between two African lions and a Mexican bull Sunday The audience included the whole American colony and many notables. Many ladies were present. ‘The first lien was very large. He executed his trainer a short time ago, He had Ween starved for the last week. The bull, without a moment's hesitation, sprang at the lion and caught him on his horns under the foreleg, and threw him backward fifteen feet against the bars, knocking the breath and fight completely out of him. An- other lion was then provided. It made a good fight, but was gored upmercifully and taken from the ring in a dying condition, The gov ernor then stopped the fight.

Indications Tha t Congress Will Precipitate Immediate War With Spain---Members Greatly Excited. GENERAL LEE HAS VERY IMPORTANT NEWS. Rumored That He Has Proof That the Maine Was Blown Up by Official Orders. LEE 1S NOW IN WASHINGTON. He Was Given a Tremendous Ovation Upon His Ar- rival There, NOW CLOSETED WITH M'KINLEY Congress May Defer Final Action Until Lee Can Appear Be- fore the Gommit- tees, TOMORROW MAY BE THE DAY. When This Great Question Will Be Finally Decided—It AU Rests With Congress, A SUMMARY OF TODAY'S SITUATION, The situation in Wasbington today is one of great confusion, The president's message has pleas- ed only the peace party, The war party feels that his recom. mendations fall short of the remedy demanded, ‘The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations has agreed to report in favor of forcible intervention in Cuba and to demand that Spain evacuate | Cuba at once. This resolution will go through the Senate with a rush, The House Commitiee has been unable to reach an agreement, though its democratic members have agreed to vote for armed interventien at once. General Lee is in Washington and was given a tremendous ovation upon his arrival there this afternoon. He refused to make any statements ) for the public and went immediately to the White House to see the Presi- deat. Minister Woodford is still at| Madrid, Only two American con-| suls are leftin Cuba, The United States consul has left the Philippine Islands, | ‘The riots at Madrid have subsided, and the government is explaining that they did not indicate serious dis- | satisfaction with its policy. Spain relies on starvation to in- duve the Cubans to accept the armis- tice, It is said to be the president's | plan, should congress give him the authority he asks, to send Spain a! copy of the resolution as an ultima- tum, and a notification that he must intervene by force as directed, unless Spain withdraws at once-from the island, Washington, April 12,3 p. m.— Consul-General Lee has just arrived in this city, He was given a tre- mendous ovation. He said nothing to the press, but went immerliately to the White House to see the president. General Lee's trip since he landed in this country has been one series of enthusiastic ovations. In many cases he was cheered asthe next president, and at every station he was overwhelmed with floral offer. ings. Washington, April 12,2 :30 p.m,— The Senate Committes on Foreign | Relations agrees to report a resolu. ‘tion for immediate armed interven- tion in Cuba and demands that Spain evacuate Cuba immediately. The indications this afternoon are | that Congress will take decided ac. tion and will precipitate a war with | Spain. | | Washington, April 12.—It has | been practically admitted this after- jnoon in administration circles that Consul Geners! Lee has not only tel- |egraphed that he bas convincing evi- |dence that Spain laid the submarine |mine that destroyed the battleship | Maine, but that he also found that the Montgomery was aleo anchored over another mine and that he had | the vessel moved just barely in time | to prevent her being blown np. Lee | has telegraphed to hold the reports of the two committees until he reaches this city and can make his statements. This news has thrown the city into afurore of excitement, and Lee's startling revelations are awaited with the most intense interest, Washington, April 12,—Expulsion of Spain from the island and the dec- laration of the independence uf the | people of the islaud from the sover- eignty of Spain will possibly be the vital points in the resolution which will finally be adopted by the Con- gress. Strenuous efforts are now being made to get the foreign relations committee of the Senate and the for- eign affairs committee of the House into line upon the same resolution and to have the reports of the two 48 nearly unanimous as possible, Up to the present time these efforts have not succeeded. It has not been pos- sible to harmonize the differences of the republican members of either committee, The question of recognizing or in any way referring to independence in the resolution is a stumbling block. Practically every member of each committee has in his pocket the text of a resolution which he believes ought to be adopted. ‘These all differ, but they range themselves under three heads: Intervention without any reference whatever to independence, to establish peace and stable govern. ment; intervention by a declaration of the independence of the people of Cuba, without recognizing the pres- ent so-called government, and inter- vention accompanied by a direct recognition of the present so-called government,” The second of these, which is in the nature of a compro- mise, seems to be the one on which agreement is most probable, ; Much may depend} upon the state- jments made to the committees by Consul-General Lee when he appears before them. A majority of the Senate committee {on foreign relations is in favor of a mandatory resolation in reply to the president's message, In view of the expected arrival of Consul-General Lee today the com- |mittee will not submit its report to the Senate before Wednesday, | Washington, April 12.—The ree | publican members of the two foreign | committees have not yet been able to | agree upon their reports on the presi- |dent’s message. A report is not ex- | pected from either committee today, | Senator Lindsay today introduced a resolution urging that when Ameri- can troops land in Cuba that they re- port to General Gomez as allies of the insurgents. This resolution has met with approval among many re- publicans and there is 9 Prospect ; that it may be the winning resolution, Opposition to the president's plan of non-recognition of the insurgents is growing and itis believed that his recommendation in this matter may not be followed, The most startling news of the is the well authenticated jrumor th Consul-General Lee has grave testi- | mony in regard to the destruction of retary Long admits that Lee has im- wait on Lee before making its report. | The democratic members of the house committe have agreed to vote for immediate armed force to intervention by end the Cuban war. Washington, April 12 —It i thoritatively announced that in case of war, EY England and Russia will favor the United States, that Germa- ny will remain strictly neutral in fact and feeling and that France, Austria and Italy will give their moral sup- port to Spain, but will render her no assistance. THE ATTACK ON HAVANA. Moro and Cabar M Not Shelled on Account ot Prisoners, Washington, April 12,—Some changes in the plan of the strategic board have now been decided upon. Morro castle will not be shelled on account of the prisoners there, and the Cabanas will escape for the same reason, in case the present trouble goes beyond target practice. As it is known prisoners are still confined in some of the ceils, it is thought advis- able to concentrate fire on the batter- ies of Santa Clara and the twelve- inch battery near Morro castle. The castle itself is not formidable, unless one accepts the story that its walls have been breached to the outer skin and a battery of big guns mounted inside, which will be unmasked hostilities should be begun, This no one believes now, It seems lik that, should war come, the affair at Havana would begin with a brief artillery duel be- tween the Lowa and her consorts and the guns of Santa Clara battery and the Ordeneze guns and two inch rifles planted near Moro Castle a year ago. The monitors Terror, Puritan and Amphitrite have been ordered to join the battleships off Sands Key light. This move, at this tine, is accepted here as evidence that the fleet is making tinal prepaaations to move with the least delay when the order comes. Monitors are, of course, slower than other vessels, but would play a great t in the forma- tion of theffirst line of attack.
