The more purely negative soap is, the nearer does it approach perfection, the | assign a strong detail of revenue cut- | is proposed by the administration to ters, tugs and coast survey vessels to duty in the North Pacific. Hitherto it has been the custom to send a fleet of five revenue cutters, armed with a few six-pounders to the North Pacific for the purpose of preventing pelagic sealing or any other violation of the sealing patrol, and the cutters have been under control of the Secretary of the Treasury. During the coming season the force wiil be a naval force, and its opera- tions will be directed by the Secretary of the Navy. In view of a possible contingency that a Spanish privateer may attempt to capture American whalers or vessels coming from Alaska, having on board American miners re- turning from the Xlondike it is pro- posed to make the fleet in Bering Sea a strong one. The flve revenue cutters will be armed with 6-inch guns, six pounders and machine guns, the tugs with six pounders and the coast survey vessels with a battery as formidable as the structural arrangement will permit. Rear Admiral Miller will continue in command of the Pacific station, but there is talk of making the Bering Sea fleet a separate command and placing an officer with the rank of captain in command of it. Captain Henry Glass, who s on duty as captain of the Mare Island Navy-yard, is spoken of as pos- sible commander-in-chief of this force, | | ate PROBABLE ACTION OF HOUSE AND SENATE It Is Believed That the Lower Branch of Congress Will Not Concur in the Resolution Recog- nizing the Republic of Cuba. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, April 17. To-morrow the difficult task of ad- justing the differences between the Sen- ate and the House of Representatives on the Cuban resolutions begins. The rock on whick the two houses split is the recognition of the independence of’ the Cuban republic which was incorpo- rated in the Senate resglution. Were that clause eliminated nothing would have prevented immediate concurrence by the House, as the great majority of the Republicans of the lower branch of Congress are eager for a conclusion. But the action of the Senate declaring for the recognition of Cuba’s independ- ence against the direct and specific rec- ommendation of the President has given the conservatives a rallying cry from the standpoint of party loyalty, which proved very effective to-day. One of the most prominent Republi- can leaders on the floor of the House denominated that portion of the Senate rescolutins a direct “assault” upon the President which no loyak Republican could inderse. And upon ‘this theory Speaker Peed.and his lieutenants have been proceeding to-day in their cam- paign agairst concurrence in the Sen- resolutions. All day long the Speaker s rooms at the Shoreham have been like the headquarters of the com- mander-in-chief of an army. He has consulted with his leutenants— Dingley of Maine, Dalzell of Pennsyl- vania, Cannon of Illinois, Grosvenor of Ohio and Payne of New York. He has | seen Joy of Missouri, Lorimer of Iili- nois, Heatwote of Minnesota and other leaders of the Republican opposition, and through other agencies has had a thorough canvass made of the Repub- lican side of the House. To-night he is confident the Republicans of the House can be marshaled agalnst yielding to the Senate on the main issue. Some of the argum-ats which those like Cooper of Wisconsin, Mann of Illinois and Bromwell of Ohio are disposed to take the shortest cut out of the woods and by agreeing to end the matter have been such as to shake the convictions of these gentlemen. The chief complaint ¢f those who want to concur is that non-concurrence means delay, complications, possibly a re- opening of diplomatic negotiations and possibly further concessions by Spain which will embarrass the United States’ when the ti e for action arrives. Mem- bers have been labored with separate- ly, arguments against recognition have been reiterated and reinforced in the light of the debate in the Senate. Espezially potent have been the argu- ments advanced. Senators Allison and Morgan declare that if we recognize the independence of the existing gov- ernment General Gomez might at any time negotiate a peace with Spain which would le .ve the United States in the lurch. When France allied herself with us in the revolutionary war it was for the purpose of gaining our in- devendence, but we were held to the compact by the stipulation that no peace with Great Britain should be ne- gotiated without . ance’s consent. More than this, it is claimed that there are e-idences that the GSenate wilt vield to the recognition of indepen- dence if the Hov-> stands firm. The whole programme for to-morrow has not been absoiutely decided upon. Something will depend upo. . the situa- tion as it appears when the final re- ports are made to the Speaker in the | morning. The Speaker, however, will | hold that the resolutions as amended | do not” have to go to the committee, | but a motion to concur or non-concur is in order. This will bring the whole question immediately before the House. It has not yet been decided whether the motion shall be to non-concur with a | request for a conference or to concur with an amendment striking out the | recognition of independen.e, and per- | haps makin = other slight amendments in the other sections of the Senate res- olution. | A majority of the Senalx will give very little attention to any other sub- Ject unt.. the Cuban question is finally disposed of in Con. ‘ess. That body having acted upon the Tesolutions of independence and intervention the question is not now properly before it, but this is - 2 suck intense interest that Senators wi continue to give it their individual atte.tion until an adjust- ment with the House is secured. The supporters of the Senate form of ex- pression are very hopeful that puh]ic] sentiment will compel the Ho se to ac- | cept the Senate declaration, but they | know that the influential conservative | element is*against them and they real- ize that they may be disappointed in the action of th» House. In that event | they are prepared to stand out against | a surender on the part of the Senate. | How long this determination will hold remains o be developed, but the advo- | cates of the recognition of Cuban inde- | pendence refuse to be convinced that | any other course than its recognition is | tenable. | ROOSEVELT T0 BE A SOLDIER Will Soon Resign From His Assistant Navy Secretaryship. Demand for Active Service Reluctantly Granted by the President. Will Division of Volunteers or Placed on the Staff of Miles. Be Assigned to Command a Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, April 17.—The Herald's ‘Washington correspondent telegraphs: “Assistant Secr-tary Roosevelt has not resigned. He will do sc as soon as the work of preparation has ceased, and the President has promised that he will appoint 1."n on the staff of Major-Gen- eral 1liles vr of General Lee. He will be assigned to command a division of volunteers. “This authoritative statement was made to me to-day by a close personal friend of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy who is thoroughly acquainted with his aspirations and wvishes. I learned from him that M- Roosevel? has informed both the President and Secretary Lon - of his intention to ask for war service when hostilities are in- augurated. Ir. “cKinley and Mr. Long both opposed the idea of losing such a valuable assistant as Mr. Roose- velt has proved himself to be and pointed out his value in the Navy De- partment. Naval officials also urged him to stay in the departmental ser- vice, but Mr. -.oosevelt b-lieves that a man should practice what he preaches, and, notwithstan. .ng the wishes of his superior officers, he proposes to go to the front when the war begins. “As to the position to be given Mr. Roosevelt, no decision has been reached. One thing, however, is cer- tain; he will go with the army and not with the navy, as many naval officers would like. Mr. Z.oosevelt commanded a National Guard organization for sev- eral years, and consequently feels more at home in the military department than he would on board a ship. There has been talk of attaching him to the New York militia when it is called into service, but this, it can be stated on authority, will not be done. If the wishes of General Lee ar» respected— and they probably will be—he will be assigned to duty as his chief of staff, with rank commensurate with that po- sition.” GENERAL COPPINGER STARTS FOR MOBILE. Railways in Readiness to Transport Troops to the Eastern Rendezvous. OMAHA, April 17.—General Coppin- ger left Omaha this afternoon for Mo- bile over the Missouri Pacific. With him are personal aides, Lieutenants Grate Hutcheson and Alexander W. Perry, Major Andrews, adjutant-gen- eral of the Department of the Missouri, and Major Encch W. Crowder, judge advocate-general. A crowd, including many representative citizens of Omaha, was t the de, t to bid them godspeed. When a friend said to General Coppin- ger, “I wish you a prompt and safe re- turn,” ‘the general smilingly replied: “You better wish us good luck and cool weather.” All the party is in good spirits. It will reach Mobile on Tuesday moerning. ‘At the headquartrs to-day the bids for moving the troops from this depart- ment were being tabulated, and the awards will be made some time during the night.

KEY WEST, April 17.—The Mallory line steamer L_mpasas, which arrived on Thursday with coal for the fleet, has received instructions from the main of- fice to remain at Key West until fur- ther orders, as the Government is ne- ,gotiating for her purchase. AMERICAN SHIP 10 CARRY DONS Olivette Will Take the Spanish Colony From Tampa. Over Four Hundred Persons To Sail for Havana i To-Day. Spanish Consul and Vice-Consul Will Remain at Their Post for a Time. Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Office, Riggs House, ‘Washington, April 17. The Spani "~ Minister, Senor Polo y Barnabe, to-day closed a charter for the American steamer Olivette of the Plant line, which will carry practically the entire Spanish colony of Tampa, Fla., to Havana to-morrow. In making the charter the Minister gave assur- ances that in case of hostilities the steamer would be cleared from Ha- vana, given ample protection and al- lowed to return to an American port. The Spanish party will number 408, most of them being young men who have offered their services in the Span- ish army in case of war. Some women and children are included, as they are part of the colony making the move. It is said that hostility to Spanish resi- dents in that locality has become marked of late. The Consul and Vice- Consul, with two assistants, will re- main at Tampa, the exact point at which seven regiments of infantry have been ordered te mobilize within the next few days, although there is no in- timation that the departure of the Spanish colony is due to the concentra- tion of United States troops at Tampa. The Spanish Minister had a compara- tively quiet Sunday, finding time to take a drive with the Swedish Minis- ter, Mr. Crippe, the two having been associated here in the diplomatic ser- vice twenty-five years ago. Senor Polo vy Bernabe received a number of dis- patches from Madrid, but they devolved no new phases of the question, and did not bear on the reports that Spain would seek the good offices of the pow- ers in case the House resolutions be- come a law. No official information has been received here as to the reported negotiations with General Gomez to- ward his surrender, although there is no disposition to discredit the report. At the embassies and legations rep- resenting the six great powers of Eu- rope, the unusual activity of the last three weeks was noticeably relaxed, as it has now come to be accepted in these quarters that there will be no action, certainly none of a radical character, toward mediation or_intervention be- tween Spain and the United States. NO ARMOR ON THREE AUXILIARY CRUISERS. Owing to Lack of Time the Yosemite, Dixie and Yankee Will Not Be Protected. NEW YORK, April 17.—A Newport News. Va., spccial to the Herald says: No armor will be placed on the auxil- iary cruisers Yosemite, Dixie and Yan- kee, formerly the steamers ‘El Sud, El Rio and El Norte of the Morgan line. This decision was caused by the fact that the vessels may be needed before they can receive their armor. Their main battery will consist of ten six- inch guns, five to a broadside and they will also be equipped with secondary batteries of breeck-loading rifles. These ships will be ready to leave here i a few days. In orcer to prepare for ac- tion as soon as possible work on the Kearsarge and XKentucky has been practically suspended for the time be- ing. If rush orders should be received, however, the battle-ships could be completed in three or four months. The hospital ship Sola will be ready for ser- vice Wednesday. g s A To Cure a Cold in One Day e Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets. All drug- refund the money if it fails to cure. Zc. genuine has L.

Veterans and National Guards Parade, and Enthusiasm Runs High. Special Dispatch to The Call SANTA ROf A, April 17.—The City of Roses was the scene of an enthusiastic demonstration to-night, in which al- most the entire population participat- ed. The occasion of this outburst of popular feeling was the presence in this city of Hon. Irving M. Scott of San Francisco and the delivery of his stir- ring address, “America and Her De- fenses,” illustrated with a powerful stereopticon at the Athenaeum. Mr. Scott was invited here some days ago by Grant O. Richards, the editor of the Press-Democrat, as a sort of object lesson to the people. As chair- man of the committee of citizens he ar- ranged a series of popular Sunday af- ternoon meetings to discuss what the United States might be depended upon to do in the way of defending herself in case war should be declared. A big crowd gathered in the neighborhoed of the Athenaeum and on the streets long before the hour set for the doors to re thrown open. At 7 o'clock Parks’ Santa Rosa band marched down the streets to the head- quarters of Company E, National Guard of California, and to the tune of “Marching Through Georgia’ the boys in blue marched to the headqguarters of Ellsworth Post, Grand Army of the Re- public, and escorted the gallant old veterans to the theater, where special seats had been reserved for them. As they marched down the streeis, the gray-haired men who so nobly respond- ed to their country’s call in '61, and the gallant youths who soon may have to follow their example, were cheered and cheered again by the assembled multi- tude. Marching up the street to the Grand Hotel the procession was joined by Mr. Scott and the vice-presidents of the meeting and then continued to the Athenaeum. As the veterans marched down the aisle of the great auditorium those present arose to give them a welcome. Down the aisle they came, the band playing “The Star-Spangled Banner,” flags waving and the stars and stripes showing on the big canvas screen. Down the aisle they came, some with one cane, some with two, some on crutches, some with wooden legs, some with empty sleeves pinned across their breasts, but with their hoary heads held high. The meeting was called to order hy Mayor J. 8. Sweet in an eloquent in- troductory address. After a patriotic selection by the band Minnesota Mec- Bain Thompson, the dramatic reader, rendered a selection appropriate to the occasicn. Twice during her recitation she was interrupted by the enthusiasm of the audience at references made to the country’s flag, and at the conclu- sion of her selection the huge building, packed as it was from pit to dome with an audience wrought to the highest pitch of enthusiasm, rang with deafen- ing applause. After the applause had subsided Mayor Sweet introduced Mr. Scott and the lecture began. Throughout the course of his remarks the speaker kept the enthusiasm of the audience at the highest 1itch. His showing that it had always been the policy of the Govern- ment to acquire territory when prac- ticable, even though not ~necessarily contiguous, as in the case of Alaska, was enthusiastically cheered, and every time the picture of a modern warship was thrown upon the screen by the operator the audience went wild. The address was stirring and patri- otic and caught the spirit of the audi- ence. Every plcture of the stars and stripes was a signal for the wildest en- thusiasm. Seated upon the stage with the speaker were the following prominent citizens, who acted as vice-presidents: Mayor James S. Sweet, chairman; | SPANIARDS DEPART TO CONFER WITH THE INSURGENTS But It Remains to Be Seen Whether the Strug- gling Patriots Will for a Copyrighted, Some who recently were converted Spain, with honor!” Juan Ramirez, a colonel in 2883808 o8 esenet et es <8 o8 ;e color stands for hope. cess. 8838838 sources, owing to the fact that 88 nBRRRR RRRURVVBE James W.

The reports of yester-l day’s action by the Senate were an ab- | sorbing subject of discussion and the | probability of what the House will do | was uppermost in everyone's mind. | For the first time in several weeks | the President was able to devote Sun- | day almost entirely to himself and to resume his church-going, which had been interrupted by the important Sun- day conferences with the members of the Cabinet. In company with Mrs. McKinley and some friends the Presi- dent this afternoon went for a long drive, thoroughly enjoying the country scenery which, because of the advance | of spring-like weather, has begun to put on its summer dres: Assistant Secretary Day was at the White House | for a short time in the morning and | saw the President. Vice-President Ho- bart and Postmaster-General Gary also called while the President was at church. In the War and Navy Departments there was also lacking that evidence of activity and rush which has charac- terized them for so many Sundays past. In the War Department Adjutant-Gen- eral Corbin was at his desk for a short time in the morning. He said there had been no changes in the details for the mobilization of trocps announced some days ago, nor any important as- signments of officers. The proposals from railroads for the transporting of troops from the various places where they are now located will be opened to- morrow, and the expectation is that the soldlers in many instances will begin their journeys on the same day. Lt Pl SHORE LEAVE DENIED SAILORS AND MARINES. Commodore Schley Keeps His Men Aboard the Ships of the Flying Squadron. FORT MONROE, Va., April 17.— Commodore Schley’s ships had a very quiet Sunday. There was nothing do- ing on the flagship, the Columbia or the Minneapolis. The Texas and Mas- sachusetts finished coaling and in the afternoon the Massachusetts shifted her anchorage, because she was a little too close to the Minneapolis. Shore leave was not allowed the men, but this afternoon there were several visiting parties among the ships and some of the men went aboard the training ship Alliance for a friendly call. The Wampatuck, Lieutenant Carl Jungen, who was on the Maine, in com- mand, and the Uncas, Lieutenant Brai- nard, just detached from the Brooklyn, passed up to Norfolk this afternoon and the torpedo boat Rodgers went out for a trial.
