States. these organ they are v forces. P O S 1 peace and the establishment of stable government, they will be sufficient to commend themselves to the people of this country and of the civiazed world.” The President makes much of the Maine disaster in his message. He fully appreciates the feeling of the country on this point and is convinced that the first treatment of this phase of the subject in his message will meet with the hearty approval of every pa- triotic citizen. He does not regard it as a casus belli in the full sense of that term, but he does consider that it forms the final link in the strong chain of ev dence which proves conclusively Spain’s mismanagement in Cuba and her in- lity not only to contro. the internal affairs on the island, but to protect the :ls of friendly nations visiting her harbors. In other words, it furnishes the final cause for intervention if not for war. ve So vigorous is the President’s ar- raignment of Spain and so complete the arguments in favor of our right to in- tervene to end the war that the Presi- dent, after his message is made public, is satisfied that a continuance of our dip- Jomatic relations with Spain is no longer possible. Accordingly, all necessary ar- rangements have been perfected for the withdrawal of our diplomatic represen- tatives from Spain and from Cuba im- mediately upon the submission of the document to Congress. The first steps toward breaking off diplomatic relations will probably be inaugurated by Spain. As soon as the message becomes public and the Spanish Government is advised of its contents, it is as- sumed that the Madrid authorities will recall Minister Polo de Bernabe. We will then recall Minister Wood- ford and Consular representatives in Spain and Cuba and transfer our inter- ests to the control of the British rep- resentatives. There is much dissatisfaction among thé warm advocates of the recognition of Cuban independence over the infor- mation that the President will advise against it. This will be the basis of whatever controversy there may be in either House over the form of the reso- lution to be adopted. The fact that the recognition of independence would be of enormous profit to the - olders of so- called Cuban bonds will no. be lost sight of, and will be used as a strong argu- ment by those who oppose recognition at this time. There will be some debate in both houses and there is reason to believe that it will be several days at least be- fore the resolution is finally sent to the President for his signuature. It has been asserted that the President was anxious to have prolonged debatz so as to allow further time for a possible so- lution of the difficulties. I can state authoritatively, how- ever, that neither the President nor any member of his Cabinet is doing anything to delay action by Con- gress. On the contrary, the Presi- dent believes that the time for action which he contemplates in his mes- sage has arrived. Advocates of the immediate recogni- tion of Cuban independence are laying great stress on the argument that the Cuban insurgents do not want interven- " tion unless it is preceded by the recog- nition of their independence. and it is said they will resent intervention with- - out recognition. Speaking of this phase of the ques- tion, Senor Quesada, representative of the Cuban Junta in Washington, said to me this evening: “We are perfectly sat- isfied with the course of the President as outlined in the morning papers. Of course we should like to be recognized, but we have no right to dictate the pol- icy of the President, and in any case it will be only a question of a short time antil recognition comes. Minister Woodford appears to be still hopeful of peace. He cabled the State Department to-night that there were . further important confe-ences with the .

Min- ister Woodford's optimistic views are shared to some extent by certain mem- bers of the administration. The peace members of the Cabinet fully acquiesced in the vigorous policy outlined by the President in his message, because they believe that an aggressive attitude might induce Spain to yield to the demands of America. These men hope that Con- gress when it declares for forcible in- tervention will “authorize” rather than “direct” the President to take action, be- cause they think when Spain once sees that the President has power it will vield to our demands before it becomes necessary to use it. There are very few public men in Washington to-night, however, who look for a peaceful outcome. With the some | excited conditions in Cuba they can see the possibility of many developments which will bring on war beforc Con- gress even has a chance to declare for intervention. MEXICAN SYMPATHY IS WITH AMERICA. Rejoicing at Aguas Calientes Over a Report That War Had Been Declared. EL PASO, April 5.—A dispatch from Aguas Calientes, one of the principal cities of Mexico, says that a report that the United States had declared war against Spain was circulated there yes- terday and that the news was received with every manifestation of joy by the entire population, the event being cel- ebrated in the evening bv bonfires and displays of fireworks. Travelers from Mexico say this is illustrative of the sentiment throughout the republic. The Spaniards in Mexico, while wealthy as a class, are few in numbers.

The United States Government Has Something Tangible to Go Upon. Strong Evidence of the Sale of Sub- marine Mines to the Spanish Government. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 5—The Herald’s Washington correspondent telegraph: Spain’s official connection with the de- struction of the battle-ship Maine is in | a fair way of being definitely deter- mined. Desirous of settling the matter one way or the other, the authorities are conducting a quiet investigation, based upon the evidence furnished by J. P. Gibbons, an electrical and mining engineer of England, to Lieutenant J. C. Colwell, naval attache of this Gov- ernment in London, to which the Her- ald referred this morning. It will be re- called that the report of the United States court of inquiry which investi- gated the loss of the M aine said that it had “been unable to - obtain evidence fixing the destruction of the Maine upon any person or persons,” but finding that she was ‘‘destroyed by the explo- sion of a mine situated under her bottom.” The administration is anxious to have the responsibility of the vessel's | loss fixed, and upon information filed by Mr. Gibbons with Lieutenant Col- well, is carefully looking into the matter. 1 obtained to-day a copy of Mr. Gib- bons’ letter, which has been officially received in this city. Commander Richard-on Clove= - of the office of Naval Intelligence, will | not wisucss the letter in any I understand from officials with whom Weas, but | he has talked in relation to the matter that he feels the evidence respecting the selling of mines to the Spanish Government is most important. Mr. Gibbons' letter is dated March 7 and reéads: 1 personally supplied the Spanish Gov- ernment with a large quantity of submar- ine mines of three different descriptions, 500-pound ground mines, a 500-pound buoy- ant mine and a 100-pound electric contact mine, and 1 also su’ppllcll them with two kinds of junction boxes, (1) a hox for one seven-cord cable, (2) a box for one single-armored cable and eight single: armored cables, each being connected by means of disconnecting fuse, which would naturally be fused on the fusing of the wire in the detopator of the mine and consequently explode. The only practical way_of finding out the mine that sank the Maine, should the divers declare that the plafes are indented inward, is by ex- amining cables from the shore to the mine exploded. - I understand that Mr. Gibbons was interviewed by Lieutenant Colwell, who said the man appeared to be thoroughly in earnest in his belief that one of the mines supplied by him to the Spanish Government through iig rgpresentative, Captain Justamente, originated o the explosion. Mr. Gibbons stated that the mines were heavily galvanized and could safely remain immersed for sevy eral years. He said that the cables were especially manufactured by him to resist an indefinite immersion, and that if any portion could be obtained he could readily identify it, as it was peculiar in its construction. According to information which has reached this city Mr. Gibbons is a prac- tical electrician, with considerable ex- perience in submarine mining in vari- ous parts of the world, and is a former non-commissioned officer of the Royal Engineers. I was told to-day that Mr. Gibbons does not appear to be finan- cially in good position, and it is sug- gested that he may be desirous of com- ing to the United States Jor disposing of his patented mines. Especially important is Mr. Gibbons® testimony in view of the strenuous de- nial made by the Spanish Government, through its charge d’affaires here sev- eral weeks ago, that there were mines in Havana harbor. 1S REJECTE ALL MEDIATION McKinley Will Not Per- mit Foreign Interfer- ence at This Time. This Is a Fact the Powers of Europe Understand Perfectly. Leo XI1II Will Still Be the Strongest Force at Work for Peace. Speclal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, April 5.—A Washington | special to the Herald says: President McKinley has rejected all proffers of mediation and arbitration because he feels that nothingbut the prompt admis- sion of our full d-mand—the ultimate independence of Cuba—will satisfy the American people. The outside influence, which is undoubtedly at work and be- ing proffered to both nations, must therefore confine itself to Madrid. And I find that even diplomats of the well- meaning nations at work believe the influence of the church at the Spanish capital is paramount to their own. I am able to discredit to a great ex- tent the London dispatch widely cir- culated to-day that England has re- fused to assist the other European powers in preventing war. It is pointed out that the fullest denial of this is the cautious and careful statement made in the Ho e of Commons last night by Mr. Balfour. First Govern- ment Represen’-tive in the lower house and during C.ord Salisbury’s illness practically the Premier of England. He saild the British Government stood ready to do all in its power to prevent war. This statement i3 reflected in the ac- | tive participation of the British em- bassy here in a conference held by leading diplomats at the instance of their home governments. The British Embassador was in conference with the French Embassador and the Aus- trian Minister to-day upon the situa- tion, bug they were not preparing joint representations to be made at the State | Department. They were preparing in- | formation for their Governments as to | the best course to be pursued at Mad- rid and as to how long Washington | might be exnected to await the result of Madrid negotiations. I learn further that at least two of them believe that time will yet remain in which Madrid may be influenced. This is the result of diplomatic activity in the capital, and is highly important.

NEW YORK, April 5.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Cuba shall be no longer under the dominion of Spain, and the Spanish flag shall be swept from the island by the land and naval forces of the United Statcs. This, in a few words, is the resolution which will be presented to the House by the Committee on Foreign Affairs to-morrow. The Re- publican members of the committee met to-night, and a unanimous agreement was reached as to the character of the resolution to be adopted. The differences which existed at the conference on Sunday were reconciled, and these two propositions were ac~reed to: First—That the United States shall declare the independence of the people of Cuba from the Government of Spain. Second—That the President shall be authorized to employ the land and naval forces of the United States to expel Spain from the island of Cuba. There will be no recognition of the republic of Cuba. The United States will assume no obligations to the Cuban Junte in New York. The people of Cuba, not the republic of Cuba, will be declared, not rec- ognized, as being independent of the Government of Spain. No agree- ment was reached as to the language of the resolution. This will be left until after the President’s message has been received and rcferred to the committee. Many projected forms of res -tions were debated, and various propositions which were suggested for incorporation in the resolution were talked over, but were not decided upon favorably B L R e e a e side pressure at the Escurial. While | the McKinley Government has made it | plain that it is not in any way subject | to diplomatic influence, it rtill hopes | that the Sagasta Government will fur- | ther seek negotiations. The Church of Rome, it is argued, has more at stake | than any European Government. Aside | from the humanitarian motive which | would move it, there are immense ma- terial interests. The church’s property in Spain is enormous, and is absolutely free from mortgage or taxation. It is| by far the most valuable holding in the | whole p-ninsula. It has long been co eted by Spanish republicans. Rome | knows that a crushipg defeat at arms would imperil the dynasty and the | monarchical government more than the | surrender of Cuba. The overthrow of the monarchy in Spain will mean what | it meant in Mexico—the confiscation of the great church property and the abo- | lition of religious titles, which now have precedence, and the payment of all Government taxation. This confis- cation, constantly threatened under the republic of 1865, would surely take place | now. That is what Rome has at stake, | Then, again, who has such power of | intervention as the Pope? He is the | holy father of both the Spanish and | Cuban armies. It is believed that the greatest danger to follow the submis- sion of the Sagasta Government to our demands would be revolt in the Span- ish army.

The regular mail steamer Mascotte of the Plant line, plying be- tween this point and Havana, makes her final trip to-night, to return to- morrow night. Upon her arrival here from Tampa Captain Hanlon, her com- mander, found instructions awaiting him outlining his movements for the next twenty-four hours.

It Will Take Almost a Week to Ge$ All the American Consuls Out of Cuba. WASHINGTON, April 5.—Informa- tion received at the State Department from Consul-General Lee at Havana does not indicate that he rezards him- self or the other consular officials in Cuba in any special danger at this time, and in reply to the suggestion that it might be expedient for him to hasten his departure, he has informed the department that about ten days would be necessary for the Consuls throughout the island to arrange for their departure, except in case of emergency. No definite action has yet been taken in regard to the removal of the Consuls, but it seems probable that they will be recalled within the next day or two. The Government has given General Lee instructions to see to the safetv of our own Consuls and all Americans in Cuba, and has given him full authority to go to what- | ever expense is necessary, including the hire of vessels that may be neces- sary to secure this end. Secretary Lone was asked late this afternoon if he had received any ad- vices from Havana indicating a neces- sity for postponing the President’s message, to which he replied, “No, the message will go to Congress to- morrow.” SHIPS TO TRANSPORT AMERICAN CITIZENS. WASHINGTON. April 5—The United States Government has dispatched a fleet of six vessels to Havana to trans- port Consul-General Lee and all the United States consular officers, to- gether with all Americans now in Ha- vana and vicinity who desire to leave the islind of Cuba. The names of the vessels are the Bache, the Fern and the Mangrove, all Government tenders; the Olivette and the Mascotte of the Plant system, and the steamship City of Key West, which have been char- tered and form a part of this fleet. In addition to these vessels Consul- General Lee is authorized to charter as many other merchant vessels now lying in Havana harbor as he may deem necessary for the safe transport of American citizens.

It refused to yield to ordinary treatment, and I consulted a physician who pro- nounced it a severe case of eczema. He said it would take a long time to cure it.
