THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, MARCH 8, 1898. 3 NOT A CENT OF TRIBUTE TO SPAIN STATESMEN UPHOLD THE PRESIDENT Declare the Wise Policy of the Chiet Executive Is App roved. Representatives of Both Houses Unanimously Favor the Plan to Prepar e for Al Emergencies. RESOLVED, That there is hereby appropriated out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise ap- propriated, for the national defense, and for each and every purpose connected therewith, to be expended at the discretion of the President and to remain available until June 30, 1899, $50,000,000.

Later in the ‘ Cannon said: _ | <] am not one of those who believe | in plunging this country into war with Spain, but in view of existing circum- stances I am heartily in favor of up- holding the hands of the President and giving any assistance he may requirfz. This matter is not the result of a day's deliberations, but we have had the sub- ject under consideration for some time past. We did not desire to plunge the House or Senate into a session of in- flammatory and sensational dlscu_ssion. Hence it is that various,proposmons looking to the increase in the army and ¢ have been held in check.d Th; has now arrived when it is deeme: :::‘i‘subxe to say to the President: ‘We uphold your policy. We appreciate the wisdom you have shown in dealing with this grave situation, and we are will- ing to give you any means you re- quire to sustain the integrity of the Government.’ : “I do not look for any serious oppo- sition to this resolution from any source. I do mot believe our Demo- cratic brethren will make any objec- tion to its prompt passage. I have not consulted any of the De_mncra}&c leaders, but I an ah&dmg faith in their loyalty and their patnotlsm.! and therefore I shall endeavor to have | this resolution passed by the House to- | morrow.” | day Representative Dingley said: “"rms v resolution has receive L jon of the the most careful considerat President and his advisers, and while | se a precautionary meas- | is of cour: i as warlike, as ure I do not regard it some people are disposed to consider it. The very fact that we intend to pro-| tect ourselves against any threatened attack from Spain will, in my judg- ment, go a long way toward prevent- ing a conflict. iIf Spain is made to understand we are prepared for war and that the whole country is ready to stand up and defend the position taken by our President she will not be 80 ready to go into war. Therefore I resolution as an act of regard this peace rather than a declaration of war.” Representative Grosvenor said: “T do not look for any factional opposi- tion to the resolution. It echoes the sentiment of every American citizen who believes that if we are to have war with Spain the sooner we are ready the better. This subject has been under consideration by the Presi- dent and his Cabinet, and they feel th are justified in taking every pre- caution that the emergency demands. I am not anxious for war with Spain, nor am I anxious to see this country involved in war with any foreign power, but I am ready to trust our cause in the hands of thePresidentand to be guided by his wisdom and dis- cretion.” Although Representative Boutelle did not participate in the conference held at the White House this morning Boutelle said: “There will be no oppo- sition to this resolution from me or the members of the Naval Committee. Unfortunately for me, I have been placed in a false position by some of the newspapers in connection with the policy of the administration on the Spanish question. I am not opposed to increasing the navy, the building of battle-ships to protect our country from Spanish attack, but I was placed in such a position I could not consci- entiously tell what the intentions of the administration were in this regard. I have been in consultation with the President and other gentlemen on this subject for some time past and the question as to the proper time to take action was a proposition which could not be agreed upon until to-day. Those of us who have been censured and ridiculed for our supposed obstruction of the propositions to increase the army and navy were acting in thor- ough accord with the President, who did not deem it wise to precipitate a sensational debate in Congress while the public mind was inflamed to such a high degree.” Senator Hale said: “While I am not in favor of going to war with Spain or any foreign power unless the prov- ocation is sufficient, I want to say that I heartily commend the course of the President in dealing with this very delicate subject. He has displayed wisdom and discretion which every loyal citizen will appreciate, and un- less T am greatly mistaken he will find that both houses of Congress are pre- pared to give him most cordial and loyal support in the line he has adopt- ed. The resolution proposed by Can- non in the House is a very proper one, and while it is not to be construed as a declaration of war it is notice to Spain and the world at large that the President of the United States Is given the power and substantial sup- port of the representatives of the peo- ple in his efforts to prepare for any emergency that may arise. I do not believe there will be any serious op- position to this resolution in the Sen- ate. It is brief and to the point and is easliy understood, so that if it passes the House to-morrow, as I earnestly expect it will, I feel assured that it will receive the unanimous indorse- ment of the Senate.” Senator Allison concurred in opinion expressed by Senator Hale. WEYLER SECURED SUPPLIES IN NEW YORK. NEW YORK, March 7.—The Journal will to-morrow print a story to the ef- fect that former Captain-General Wey- ler of Cuba bought a large quantity of powder from the Dittmar Powder Com- pany of this city, the powder being shipped to Havana last November. Lieutenant White of the Twenty-third Regiment, National Guard of this city. is given as an authority for this state- ment. The claim is made that the powder and a large quantity of other explosives was shipped to Havana on the steamer Ciudad Condal about No- vember 30. It is aserted that the two National Guardsmen who had charge of the explosives on behalf of the Ditt- mar Powder Company were Captain F. G. Hamlin and Lieutenant White. Hamlin is the manager of the Dittmar Powder Company, while White is the bookkeeper. On account of the large quantity of powerful explosives and cable coils purchased, it is inferred that Captain-General Weyler wished to use the articles in the construction of a dynamite mine. = -— Sobral’s Spying Work.

His visit has just been recalled by the discov- ery of his name in the book. He called on the officers at this station and in- spected the various forts and other de- fenses in this vicinity.

THE RIGHT ARM AT WORK ON THE WRECK. MONEY MARTS WEAKDBG DEMORALIZED AT NEW TORK' Prospect of a Conflict the Cause of a Drop in Securities. Bear Leaders Help to Smash Values Whenever It Is Possible. Brokers Scrambls to Sell the Hold- ings of Some of the Frtghtened Speculators. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 7.—The stock market opened in a demoralized condi- tion this morning, owing to President McKinley's flat refusal to yield to Spain’s desire for the recall of Consul- General Lee from Havana. This was taken by brokers to mean that the re- lations between Spain and this country were more strained than ever, and was the signal for bears to renew their at- tacks on leading specialties. All through the list serious declines were registered, with frightened hold- ers of securities trying ¢o market them at any price they would bring. The bear leaders helped along the smash in values wherever possible. Before the local market opened news came from London that American securities were demoralized in that market, serfous declines having been registered in all active stocks. This news served to prepare operators here for what was to come when the local market gpened. Brokers, who had gathered in silent groups around different trading posts in the Stock Exchange, broke loose as soon as the chairman’s gavel fell at 10 o'clock. Wild shouting crowds of brokers went at the process of knocking prices downward. It was one of the most ex- citing openings that the exchange has witnessed in many years. Initial tran- sactions were made at general de- clines of 2, 3 and 4 points. Around the sugar post there was a great crowd of brokers. The first sales in different parts of this crowd were simultaneous- ly at prices ranging all the way from 123% to 121, against 126%, the closing price of Saturday, a decline of more than 5 points at the extreme price. The opening trading in New York Central was also very heavy. The first sales of this stock were simulta- neously at 111%, down to 110, against 113%, Saturday’s closing price, a de- cline of 3% points. The material de- clines compared with Saturday’s clos- ing figures, recorded at the opening or within the succeeding five minutes, were: Manhattan 41 points, Rock Isl. and 2%, St. Paul 2%, Western Union 215, American Tobacco 4%, Burlington %, People’'s Gas 23, Consolidated Gas 2, Northern Pacific preferred 3, Louis- ville and Nashville 215, Union Pacific 21, Northwestern 215 Metropolitan Streét Railway made an extreme de- cline of 7% points. The tone of the market throughout the day was extremely nervous and ir- regular. Each unfavorable report and item of news in regard to the Spanish situation was followed by a fresh at- tack on the part of the bears, and de clines and temporary rallies followe@ one another at short intervals. On the final call of Government bonds at the Stock Exchange this afternoon 1221 was bid for the fours of 1925. This was 1 per cent under the price at which sales were made on Saturday. —_— CUBANS READY TO FIGHT FOR AMERICA. Soldiers and Civilians of the Island Eager to Aid the United States. NEW YORK, March 6.—Correspond- ence from Santiago de Cuba says: Ac- cording to the most trustworthy infor- mation, the Cuban Government has de- cided to address a manifesto to this country as soon as hostilities are opened between the United States and Spain. inviting every Cuban who is now on the islard, living within Spanish for- tified towns, to take the field and join the Cuban army. Previous laws for- bidding unarmed men to join the Cu- ban forces will be abolished. An invi- tation will be addressed also to all Cu- bans abroad under 50 years of age to enlist in the American army or come to Cuba to fight. Senor Maso made the following declaration: “We do not invite war between the United States and Spain, because we need only to be officially recognized by the American nation. But if such war i and wonder among the inhabitants. In ANCIERS | AND SPAIN Where the Government at Madrid Is Likely to Get Aid. Fl Probability That the Arm- strongs Would Supply the Castilians With Cruisers. But as to Supplying Money, France Would Most Likely Be the Chief Contributor. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March 7.—A copy- righted cablegram from London to the Evening Post say Special inquiries in official and financial circles to-day show that of the many grave difficul- ties pending in China, Japan, West Africa, the Nile and elsewhere the most serious view Is taken of the American- Spanish relations. At the American and Spanish embassies the utmost re- ticence, of course, is shown. They pre- tend to know nothing, and it is note- worthy, in view of reports that the Armstrongs have sold cruisers to Spain, that the Armstrongs’ board has given express instructions that no questions are to be answered regarding their dealings with British or foreign gov- ernments. Varying conclusions are drawn from this refusal to confirm the denial of the Spanish purchase from the Arm- strongs. What cannot be denfed is that the Armstrongs have had relations with Spain since 1886, have bullt sev- eral cruisers to Spain's order and now have vessels in stock that could be sold if money were forthcoming. Is French money helping Spain? Two of the first financial houses were asked this question this afternoon. Their re- plies may be grouped thus: ‘“Nothing of the kind has been definitely ar- ranged and obviously, seeing the large French financial interests in Spain, French financiers will be most anxious to keep Spain from war, but it is equally certain that if Spain did de- cide that war, however desperate, was the only escape from the growing finan- cial trouble at home, Paris, and not London, would be the quarter whence money would be sought and beyond doubt obtained. As yet, however, noth- ing has been definitely settled.” The fact probably is that Spain is anxious to buy ships and that the Armstrongs are ready to sell if they can see the money. The French finan- ciers are not eager to advance the ne- cessary money, 80 long as by holding back they can assist the cause of peace. The Armstrongs have the reputation among the naval circles here of pro- ducing the best armed and protected cruisers in_the world. GLOOMY SIGN OF WAR SEEN IN THE SKY. Shaft of Pale Red Light Shoots up From the North and Star- tles New Yorkers. NEW YORK, March 7.—In the black sky of the north to-night there hung a sign, a gloomy portent of war and devastation. At least the street crowds that gazed heavenward in awe or flip- pant comment chose so to regard it. The phenomenon appeared shortly after half-past 8 o'clock. To the eastward the moon, almost at the full, rode in a clear sky, but the north and west were cloudy. Suddenly a shaft of pale red light shot up from the north, reaching half way to the zeinith. Gradually the lower part faded away, but the remainder hung in the clouds for more than half an hour. It was a narrow strip, but at this time the lower end spread until it doubled in width, while the upper part tapered off into the darkness. From all over Greater New York and up the Hudson came reports of excitement this eity and over in Brooklyn crowds gathered in the streets and gazed at the phenomenon. The talk was all of war. Old veterans told of similar “signs” which preceded the Revolu- tionary and Civil wars. The light faded gradually and disappeared about half past 9 o'clock. The light was probably caused by a big fire at Fort Lee, N. J, or the au- rora borealis. Garrett P. Serviss, the astronomer, said he inclined to the aurora theory. A London “prophet” has damaged his reputation by two inconsistent perform- ances.

South African Diamond Mines Also Affected by the War- like Aspect. While Spain in France the Panic Among Specu- Is Buying Guns lators Is Increasing. Copyrighted, 1895, by James Gordon Bennett. PARIS, March 7.—The Bourse here is greatly excited over the general de- cline in stocks. Spanish exteriors fell off two francs, closing heavy at 57%, lower than for a year past. A curious phase of speculation was the decline of South Africa diamond mines, especially Debeers, which fell from 712 to 684 francs on the theory that in case of war between the United States and Spain, American purchases of diamonds would decline. It is fur- ther stated that the Spanish Govern- ment has given orders for the purchase in France of rapid firing guns of the Canet type of fourteen and sixteen cen- timeters. They are supposed to be for the Spanish iron-clad Carlos V, now at Havre completing her armament. Spain is said to have tried to purchase war- ships from France, but without suc- cess. The Gaulois, commenting on the pess- imistic dispatch received from Madrid on Sunday, remarks: “If they are to be taken quite seriously it Is impossi- ble not to recognize that we are on the eve of an Espano-American war.” It publishes, however, an interview with a Spanish diplomatist, who is said to be in close touch with the Spanish Government, which puts a much less alarming complexion on the situation. He says: “I quite admit the situation is serious, but it has not so far the importance attributed to it, and all may yet be arranged amicably without the neces- sity of a resort to extreme measures. I have recelved semi-official confirma- tion of only one of the dispatches from Madrid published during the last two or three days, namely, that concerning the recall of Consul-General Lee. It is the business of diplomacy to settle this incident, the bearing of which has been too hastily exaggerated. I do not doubt that an agreement will be arrived at after a fresh exchange of telegrams between Madrid and Wash- ington.” 4 3 The Journal des Bebats says that in spite of the machinations of the Cu- ban syndicate, the excitement caused by the Maine disaster is calming down and that the sensational news, pub- lished with unparalleled cynicism to cause a rupture between Spain and the United States, finds fewer hearers. The Journal and Eclair both comment on the statement that cruisers and coast defense ships are not fighting vessels, and say that the bravado on the part of the United States may drive Spain to the last extremity. The Journal also says that while Madrid showed correctness in recalling Senor de Lome Washington replies with a brutal re- fusal to recall Lee, the United States acting as if it wished to make war in- evitable. : MARRIAGE OF MISS DUER AND CLARENCE MACKAY. Date of the Ceremony Set for May 14 and the Swell Newport Set to Be Present. NEW YORK, March 7.—The marriage of Miss Katherine Duer and Clarence Mackay will be celebrated on Saturday, May 14, the date having just been decided upon. Mrs. John W. Mackay, mother of the bridegroom-elect, will make her sec- ond trip to this couniry in many vears to Dbe present at the wedding. The wedding will take place at the residence of the pride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. William A. Duer, 17 West Twenty-first street. There will be just 150 people invited to the wed- ding. These will all be of the Newport Jt5and chiefly of the vounger element ana friends of the bride.” The date of the marriage has been hastened for a month. This is said to be so that the bride can participate in the gayeties of the early London season. - McCoy Will Fight Bonner.

ILLIONS FOR OUR EFENSE Cannon Introduces a Big Emergengy Bill in the House. Members of Both Branches of Congress Will Uphold the President in All War or Peace Measures. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, March 7. Representative Cannon of Illinois to- day Introduced a bill appropriating $50,000,000 as a war emergency fund, to be placed at the immediate disposal of the President. It was referred to the Committee on Appropriations. The Cannon bill, it was learned later, was the outcome of a conference held at the White House this morning, at which Cannon, Sec- retary Long, Dingley, Senator Allison and General Grosvenor were present. The situation was considered so grave that it was deemed imperative that an immense appropriation of this char- acter should be at once made to prepare for the national defense. After the conference Cannon went to the Capitol and called a special meeting of the Appropriations Committee. After this meeting Cannon introduced the na- tional defense bill in the House. The Appropriations Committee will meet to-morrow and the bill will be presented in the House during the day. There is little doubt expressed among Senators that the Cannon bill appropri- ating $50,000,000 will probably be con- sidered and speedily passed when it reaches the Senate. Many Senators express the opinion that the most ef- fective method of dealing with the question would be to take up and pass the bill immediately upon its receipt in the Senate without reference to com- mittee. Some of the members of the Committee on Appropriations expressed themselves as satisfied to have the measure take its course, but others are of the opinion that none of the effects of the measure will be lost to have the bill referred and reported in the regu- lar way. Senator Allison, chairman of the committee, expressed the opinion that the bill should be referred, say- ing that the committee would proba- bly be able to report within twenty- four hours. A few Senators said that they did not consider that the time had come for the actual appropriation of money for the preparation for war, but they did not indicate any intention to antagonize the passage of the bill or to seek to delay it. Senators who favor the bill say it is a peace and not war measure, and some expressed the opinion that it would be more effective if it carried $100,000,- 000 instead of $50,000,000. Secretary Long sent to Congress to- day for inclusion in the urgent de- ficlency bill an estimate of an appro- priation of $300,000 to be immediately available for the equipment of vessels in the navy for the present fiscal year and for the immediate supply of 10,000 tons of coal to Key West. The report accompanying the estimates shows the bunker capacity of the ships of the navy now in the vicinity of Dry Tor- tugas and Key West is about 12,000 tons, and the storage capacity of the coal sheds at Key West is about 4200 tons. The largest vessels of the fleet, the Secretary says, cannot approach nearer than seven miles of Key West. At present they coal from schooners at Tortugas and at other nlaces near by, when they are permitted. There is one flat lighter with a capacity of 3000 tons now at Key West. This is not suitable for use at any distance from the port. The report concludes as follows: “The bureau believes it for the in- terest of the service that additional temporary coal sheds should be con- structed on Government land at Key West which will increase the storage capacity there up to 10,000 or 12,000 tons, and that lighters be purchased which may be towed anywhere within a radius of sixty miles of Key West. Also that at least 10,000 tons of coal be laid down at Key West ready for an emergency. The approoriation for equipment for the navy is inadequate for these purposes, and in order that the bureau may be able to execute the necessary contracts at once, I recom- mend that Congress appropriate $100,- 000 additional to be immediately avail- able.” e NEGOTIATING FOR THE PURCHASE OF SHIPS. Navy Department in Communication ‘With the Embassy at London. NEW YORK, March 7.—A special to the Herald from Washington says: The Navy Department has been in cable communication during the day with | Lieutenant-Colonel Well, naval attache of the Embassy in London, but the purport of the dispatches sent and re- ceived the department decllenes to state. It is known, however, that these mes- sages relate to the ships nearly com- pleted abroad which it will be to the interest of this Government to obtain. It is possible that_they may also have related to the negotiations being made by Spain for additional ships. I learned from an official of the de- partment to-day that information re- ceived by Secretary Long on Saturday last that the Brazilian cruiser Ama- zonas and an unarmored sister ship had been sold came from the builders of these vessels at Elswick, England. According to the message received from the builders the ships have been withdrawn from sale. It is known by Secretary Long that Spain has been negotiating for the sale of these ships and that she was the only Government anxious to add them to her fleet. It was hinted to me to-day that Brazil might have something to say in oppo- sition to the sale of the Amazonas and her sister ship to a prospective enemy of the United States and that negotia- tions for the sale had not been finally completed. Tt is the general impress sion among naval offiers that this Gove ernment has made representations to the Brazilian Government through the Charge d’Affaires of the United States at Rio de Janeiro looking to the pre- vention of the sale of the ships to Spain, and that these representations may result in the retention of the ships at Elswick subject to the call of the Brazilian Government. I was informed to-day, however, by officials in a position to know that one of the vessels had salled from England, but her destination was unknown. It is probable she has gone to Spain, where she will be completed. NEW YORK, March 7.—The Her- ald’s Washington correspondent sends the following: Spain has manifested her earnest desire to maintain friendly relations with the United States by promptly recalling the intimation that the recall of Consul-General Lee and the revocation cf orders for naval ves- sels to carry relief supplies to sufferers in Cuba would tend to promote har- mony between the two countries. Accompanying the withdrawal is the formal announcement made by Senor Dubose, Charge d’Affaires of the Span- ish Legation, that General Lee’s recall was never officially requested. There is no denial, however, that an unoffi- cial intimation to this effect was sent to the State Department through Min- ister Woodford, and that the President promptly refused to comply with it.
