Averted—The President's Re
ply Hives No Sign of a
Peaceful Solution.
Washington, April B.—There is no
oilier any doubt as to the purposes of
iliis government with respeet to the
situation in Cuba. War in the opinion
>l' the administration is inevitable, ex
sept in the unlooketl for event of a sur
render on lite part of Spain.
The president's message which he
bad intended to send to congress on
Wednesday has not been changed in
any particular and embodies the unan
tuous views of the cabinet. Any move
ment to avert war must come from Mad
rid and must concede American de
mands, including an end to Spain s
domination in Cuba.
Three features stand out plainly in
the developments of Thursday. The
six great powers of Europe—Germany,
England. Russia. France, Austria and
Italy—through their representatives
here, called at the White House and
presented to President MeKinley a
joint note expressing urgent hope for
a peaceful adjustment between the
United States and Spain, to which the
president replied with unmistakable
plainness as to the duty of this gov
ernment to terminate insufferable con
ditions in Cuba.
Another and probably the most sig
nificant actual step showing the final
ity reached by the United States gov
ernment was the authoritative state
ment that Consftil General Lee would
leave Havana on Saturday. This step
will he regarded by Spain as akin to
au overt act preceding war. as it will
terminate the medium of official inter
course between the United States and
the island. Almost equally important
was the ominous tone of advices from
Madrid, where the war fever seems to
dominate.
The heavy guard about Minister
Woodford's house, the imperative char
acter of his last note, the war utter
ance of Minister Correo and the turbu
lence at the Spanish capital left little
hope that pacific councils would pre
vail. No negotiations are proceeding
at Madrid on the part of this govern
ment, but the powers of Europe are do
ing their utmost to persuade the Span
ish government to yield and avert war.
On the highest authority it can be stat
ed that no instructions have been given
as yet to Minister Woodford contem
plating his withdrawal, the only step
in that direction being the determina
tion that Gen. Lee leave Havana on
Saturday.
The note of the European powers
presented to the president yesterday
has not, in the opinion of members of
the administration, changed the situa
tion in the slightest degree.
The reply of this government, 'which
had previously been approved by the
cabinet, is not considered as indicating
any change in the purpose of the
president to intervene in Cuba at once,
tor is it believed that it was the ex
pectation of a majority of the foreign
representatives present that the United
States should change its policy or re
gard the joint note as other than an
expression in behalf of peace and
without special significance. So far
as known in administration circles nc
further representations on this subject
are expected. No offers of mediation
on the part of any European power
have been received and there is high
authority for the. statement that none
would be accepted.
At the embassies the presentation of
the joint note of the powers was re
garded as the event of the day. The
ambassador from one of the great pow
ers of continental Europe stated that
it was without a parallel in history,
that it was the «nly time the six great
nations of Europe had united in this
solemn manner to secure the peace oi
the world.
The opinion in the senate and house
is that war must come. Even the most
optimistic of the conservative senator,'
have given up hope of a peaceful settle
ment.
A great deal of consideration was
given by senators and representatives
to the form of action. On this point
there is a wide divergence of opinion,
but it has assumed two distinct propo
sitions. One is the recognition of in
dependence of the island —-coupled witl:
armed intervention to drive out the
.Spaniards—and the other armed inter
vention. with a declaration that Cubs
should be free.
The desire on the part of those favor
ing the latter plan is to avoid recogniz
ing the insurgents and their govern
ment or any government until aftei
the United States has control of the
island. The latter plan is said to be
that of the president, and efforts arc
being made to have it adopted so there
will be no division between the execu
tive and legislative branches of the
government.

Tampa, 11 a., April 8. —The pro
gramme: for the departure of Gen. Let
from Havana is as follows: The Oliv
ette will enter Havana harbor on Sat
urday morning and < Jen. Lee will notify
all Americans that it will be their last

which will sail for Key West.
WILL MAKE NO CONCESSIONS,
The Spant»ti Cabinet Olvca a Defiant Reply
to Minister Woodford'* LatCHt Com mu lo
cation—The Populace are llAgvr for Hos
tilities to I^'gin.
Madrid. April B,—The cabinet min
isters at their meeting Wednesday
evening decided to appoint a committee
to organize and superintend the na
tional subscription to increase the
strength of the fleet.
A semi-official note issued after the
ad journment says:"The cabinet con
sidered! every aspect of the situation
on the information of the foreign and
colonial ministers, and especially in
the light of the reports of the ministers
of war anel marine. The outcome of
the deliberations was the adhesion of
the government to all its previous de
cisions, without modification, and reso
lutions to that effect were adopted."
It is explained that the decisions to
which the Spanish government ad
heres as announced in the semi-official
note refer to those outlined at the last
conference between Gen. Woeidford
and the Spanish ministers.
After the cabinet meeting and the
issue of tlie semi-official note, which
was regarded as a serious announce
ment. there was much excitement and
bellicose talk in the city. The cafes
i were crowded with people, all eagerly
discussing the situation, and generally
approving the attitude of the cabinet.
An extraordinary cabinet council
was held last night. The session has
created more pessimistic impressions.
The ministers refuse to furnish any
explanation.
Minister Woodford, in a note sent to
the council, declared that when he sent
the confidential note e>n Wednesday he
had not received a dispatch from Pres
ident MeKinley announcing the post
ponement of the presentation of the
message to congress, and "as that
changes the aspect of affairs, he with
draws the statements made in the pre
vious note."
The excitement in Spain has reached
the boiling point, but there are no dem
onstrations recorded anywhere yet.
All the steamship firms of Valencia
have offered their vessels as privateers,
anel a number of ship captains have
called upon the naval commander at
Barcelona, asking for letters of
marque. Similar requests have been
received from abroad, especially from
France. The offers of money from the
provinces toward the fund to increase
the strength of the navy arc said to be
encouraging. It is said that Biscay
alone has offered over 25,000,000 pesetas.
Berlin, April B.—The Madrid corre
spondent of the Cologne Gazette says:
"The papers of the American consulate
have already been intrusted totheeare
of the British consulate. At midnight
the pope made fresh representations
to the Spanish government and a sec
ond cabinet council was held, but the
reply was to the effect that the pope's
intervention had come too late, as a
decision had already been arrived at."
New York, April B.—A dispatch from
Madrid says: Distinguished Spanish
generals and some members of the
cabinet have called upon the queen to
protest against the surrendering of
Spanish rights in Cuba.
The ambassadors of France, Ger
many, Russia and Italy waited last
night upon Senor Gullon, the foreign
minister, anel presented a joint note in
the interests of peace. Senor (iullon.
replying, declared that the Spanish
cabinet were unanimous in considering
that Spain had reaehed "the limit of
international policy in the; direction of
conceding the demands of the United
States."
MURDERED A BANKER.
Patent Medicine Maker Blown tlie Top of
a Capitalist'! Head oft.
Lancaster, Pa., April B.—David B.
Landis, president of the' Conestoga
national bank, anel one of the leaeling
citizens of this city, was killed yester
day by Ralph W. Wireback, who is
known throughout the country as the
maker of patent medicine.
The tragedy resulted from an effort
of Landis to elispossess Wireback, who
rented a house from Lrtndis last year
with the privilege of renewing the
lease if the house was not sold. Landis,
however, sold the house before .Janu
ary 1 anel notifieel Wireback, who
maintained that he had the privilege
of re-renting anel refused to vacate.
Proceedings were begun to dispos
sess Wireback. but he had prepared
himself by sending his family away
and nailing shut the doors and win
dows and otherwise barricading the
entrances. Two constables attempted
te» eject him, but Wireback took refuge
in the garret. He asked for a confer
ence, and Landis came to the house
anel, accompanied by the two consta
bles, started up stairs to see Wireback.
He had not ascended more than two or
three steps when a report was heard
and Landis fell back into Constable
Graef's arms, the whole top of his head
having been blown off. Wireback gave
himself up.
I'nlted States Consuls Leave Cuba.
Kingston. Jamaica, April 8. —The

Continue.
Washington, April 0. —Good Friday
passed in Washington with not a rip
plt> on the surface to show that the
United States is on the brink of war.
lioth houses of congress had adjourned
until Monday and at the executive
mansion there was no rush of excited
public men, hut a Sunday quiet. At
only the war and navy departments
were there signs of an impending' con
flict in the rush of immediate orders to
a host of naval officers to report at
once for duty on vessels to which they
were assigned and in conferences
among bureau chiefs on details of svar
preparations. And yet the resolve was
tinner than ever that unless Spain
yields to American Cuban demands the
I'nited States by force of arms* would
move on Havana..
There was still some discussion of
Cuban affairs, but it only served to
emphasize the fact that one forward
step of immense importance had been
taken, for the discussion concerned not
intervention and freedom of Cuba, but
the duties that mitrht be imposed upon
the I'nited States after we had ex
pelled Spain from the island. This
discussion revolved around two prop
ositions. namely, intervention without
recognition of national independence
of the Cuban insurgents, and interven
tion with concurrent recognition of
the independence of the present insur
gent government.
The cabinet held its usual Friday
session, but its meeting brought no
change in the Spanish situation. In
deed it was chiefly significant in estab
lishing that no change had occurred,
that none was expected, and that the
programme of action on the part of the
i'nited States was already made up.
The president's message remains un
altered and alterations are unlikely
between now and Monday, barring
altogether unexpected developments
from Madrid. After the meeting cabi
net officers stated that the message
would lie sent to congress on Monday,
no change in that respect having been
considered, and all cause for delay hav
ing been removed.
The feeling that an end had come to
diplomatic talk and that action alone
remained, was shared in all quarters,
including the foreign embassies, where
the ambassadors expressed the feeling
that all has been done in Washington
that can be done in the cause of peace.
What is going on at Madrid gives
slight hope of such concessions there
as will alter the present situation.
There are no negotiations in the sense
of exchanges on pending propositions.
Both parties apparently have said their
last word.
Preparations for all eventualities are
being hurried to completion. Mr. Lee
will leave Havana to-day, probably on
the Fern, now in Havana harbor, al
though it was said at the state depart
ment that he might take one of the
l'lant line of steamers. At that time
also the other I'nited States consuls
and most of the American citizens re
siding in Cuba will be out of the island.
Official reports received here Friday
stated that large numbers of Ameri
cans were leaving on the several steam
ers from Havana and other ports. En
tire quiet has prevailed there up to
this time. The United States consul
at Porto Rico is also preparing to
leave.
No instructions have been sent to Mr.
Woodford at Madrid concerning his
withdrawal from that place, that being
left, to his discretion. The prospects
of his withdrawal have been fully con
sidered. however, and in the event of
his retirement the British ambassador
at Madrid will look after American in
terests and afford protection to such
Americans as remain in Spain.
The Spanish minister at Washington
has received no instructions as to his
departure, nor has he made prepara
tions to go. although his establishment
is in such a. condition that he could
leave within a few hours after receiv
ing orders from his government to de
part. As an evidence of the complete
cessation of negotiations, it can be
cited that yesterday closed the seventh
consecutive day since the Spanish min
ister called at the state department.
War and naval preparations are pro
ceeding, but the larger details of prep
aration have been shaped and there is
little more to do than to see these reg
ularly executed. While there are many
naval movements, there has not yet
been any decisive order affecting the
movement of the fleets. A report was
current that the Spanish fleet of cruis
ers had sailed from Cadiz for American
waters. There was no confirmation of
th s, though it would not be improba
ble. _

Washington says no negotiations have
been initiated there and that none will

Woodford has sent a message to Wash

V/AR TAXES AND LOANS.
Congressmen are Drafting a Hill to lUUfi
More Kevrnue When Hostilities ilegln.
Washington, April—The members
of the ways anil means committee of
the house are busily engaged with
treasury officials in drafting a war
revenue measure to be- introduced in
congress immediately upon the open
ing of hostilities with Spain. An in
crease in the internal revenue tax e>n
beer from SI to 82 a barrel, and a large
increase in the tux on manufactureel
tobacco, including cigars and cigar
ettes. has been practically agreed
upon. Bank checks, bills of exchange,
lrafts, deeds, mortgages and other
paper of this class, patent medicines
inel nostrums in all probability also
will be addeel to the list.
A rough estimate of the receipts to
be tleriveel from these sources is that
the increase em these articles will ap
proximate 8100,000,000 a year. Beer, it
s thought, will produce an increase of
£'•5,000.000; manufactured tobacco au
nerease of §:>:>.000,000 or more, and
•ommercial paper and patent medicines
000,000. Another source of revenue
which it is said is almost certain to be
ivaileel of is transactions in railroad
tnd other listeel stocks. It is believed
hat the returns from this source will
ae large. In all the figuring so far,
lie remaining industries and the pro
fessions which were taxed for strictly
,var revenues during the rebellion have;
teen left out of the account.
An increase of from two cents to
hree cents on letter postage, and a tax
jii gas anel electric light has alse> been
nigge-stcel to the department, but these
tems have not yet been considereel.
I'he increase of one cent an ounce on
etter postage probably would augment
the receipts by $!i0,000,000 a year.
A bill providing for a temporary loan
>f S 100,000,000, and a permanent loan
>f from 81100,000,000 to 8500,000,000 at 3
per cent., payable in coin, has been
prepared by the ways and means com
mittee and will be introelueed in case
3f war.
FEW SOLD AT PAR.
Deputy Treasurer of the Cuban Republic
Tell?* of Transactions in Cuban Itonds.
Washington, April 9.—The foreign
affairs committee of the house met Fri
lay and continued the hearing of Mr.
> juesada, the representative of the Cu
ban republic. Mr. Quesada continued
his statement as to the status of the
government eif the republic. The dep
uty treasurer of the Cuban republic ap
peareel with his books anel they were
inspected by the committee. He ex
plained that eif the 810.000,000 bonds
authorized only 8122.000 hael been actu
ally disposed of. Some of these were
in payment of provisions sent to Cuba.
For some of the bonels par hael been ob
tained. These were taken mainly by
the frie'nds of Cuba. The lowest price
at which any were solel was 25 cents
an the dollar, a batch e>f 820,000 being
sold for 85,000 in a pressing emergency.
One million of the bonds, he said, were
locked up in the safe of Belmont & Ce>.,
of New York, te> be solel when the price
fixed—4s cents on the dollar —had been
obtained.
The deputy treasurer was asked if
he knew the story of the publication
of the De Lome letter and he told the
first authentic story of how it was ob
taineel. lie explained that it was ab
stracted by a clerk in the post office at
Havana who was in sympathy with the
Cuban canse anel sent to New York.
There its importance was at once
realized and it was given out for pub
lication.
Significant action was taken when
the hearing eonelueled. An adjourn
ment until Monday at 11 o'clock was
taken. The committee has no regular
day of meeting now and is subject to
the call of tlie chairman. In oreler to
be in a position to act, the friends of in
dependence anel action adjourned until
Monday, so that if necessary they could
act on that day if the message was not
to come in, anel not depend upon a call
from the chairman. This is regarded
as showing the temper of the commit
tee against any further delay.

OFFICE-HOLDING TAX-EATERS.
Numbers of Person* Included In the
C'lvil Service I.lst* of Vnrl
oiim Countries,
The statement was published recent
ly that the number of persons in the
classified civil service of Great Britain,
exclusive, of course, of the army, navy,
sonstabulary and elected officers,
amounted to 50,000, wiffli annual pay of
£7,000,000 or $.'15,000,000. An official
statement made in Washington on
March 1 showed that the total number
of officeholders in this country was
178,717. The aggregate salaries amount
ed to $00,589,927. The classified list of
officeholders numbers 87,108, leaving in
the unclassified list 91,609, of whom
about 80,000 are fourth-class post
masters.
In Great Britain the post office and
telegraph office employes are not in
cluded in the civil service. Figuring the
population o>f the United States as now
about double that of Great Britain,
it is seen that the number of persons
In the civil service of Great Britain is
relatively greater than it is here. In
France, by a recent computation, there
were in the civil service of that country
350,000 persons, or about one per cent,
of the population—3oo,ooo men and
50,000 women, a total, however, which
included the instructors in and em
ployes of the government schools,
which in England and the United
States are local, not national concerns.
No one seems to know even approxi
mately how many persons in Germany
are in the direct employ of the govern
ment exclusive of the army and navy.
In Austria-Hungary, where the con
ditions of government are not much
dissimilar from those which prevail in
Germany, the civil service includes 200,-
000 persons, 120,000 in Austria and 80,000
in Hungary. The Austrian method of
computation, however, is not one which
would be likely to gain much favor
here, especially when there was a legis
lature in session at a state capital.
The Austrian division of inhabitants is
as follows: Farmers, those engaged
in manufacture, those engaged in com
merce, capitalists, these in the civil
service, those in domestic service, and
"various persons." The designation of
"capitalist" would never do in the
United States. It would prove too elas
tic—too large when there were no taxes
to be paid, too small, perhaps, when
there were taxes to be.collected —and
a subdivision of the population as "cap
italists" would be awkward for another
reason, because it would be difficult to
ascertain what was the dividing line be
tween the penury of the majority and
the affluence of the few, anil no such
subdivision would be permanently pop
ular here. In Spain a considerable num
ber of the population are returned as
"vagrants and smugglers," but Spain
is the only country which preserves this
sinister subdivision of its people, and
there is no separate subdivision for
those in the public service, though the
colonial, maritime and customs inter
ests of Spain require a very consider
able number of persons on the national
payroll. Italy liasa large civil list, but no
stated class of "vagrants and smug
glers." —Chicago Tribune.
Every Day n .Month.
The gradual change in the day and
the month now taking place proceeds
continuously until Hie duration of a ro
tation of the earth is prolonged to s">
of our present days. At the same time
the month, or the time of a revolution of
the moon round the earth, will also oc
cupy 55 of our days. Since the month
here means the period of the return of
the moon to the same place amongst
the stars, and since the day is to be esti
mated the same way, the moon must
then always face the same part of the
earth's surface, and the two bodies
must move as though they were fast
ened. together by a bar. The outcome
oft.lie lunar tidal friction will accord
ingly be that the moon and the carlh
will go round as though locked together
in a period of 55 of our present days,
with day and month identical in length.
