Special to Kvesimi Herald.
Washington, April 1. Tlio state depart-
incut last night, at midnight, received Spain's
reply to tlio President's demands. It was
transmitted in cipher, and could not Ijo trans
lated until to-day. Tho chief demands are
icjoctod, the feeling in Madrid being that
they aro inconsistent with the dignity and
honor of Spain. Immediately after tho con
ference between Prime Minister Sagasta and
Minister Woodford, the Spanish noto answer
ing the demands was telegraphed to tho
powers, together witli a copy of tho Ameri
can demand. Referring to tho conference)
Senor Moret said : "We aro still Spaniards."
After the meeting cf tho Spanish Cabinet
last ovinias l'rimo Minister Sagasta said:
"Wo havo douo and will do all in our tpower
to maintain peace, but if any lutontiou ox
ists of attacking our honor and territory we
will net tolerate it."
Tlio White House was besieged by news
paper men aud members of Congress, anxious
to hear tho full text of Spaiu's reply. It was
not mado public at this hour, but according
to tho best information obtainable to-day
Spain has definitely resolved to make no fur
tlier concessions to tho United States.
The sumo authority says Spain's reply docs
not admit tho possibility ef independence for
Cuba. '
Warships Will Leave.
The Spanish cruisers Vizcaya and Ah
mirauto havo received orders to start from
Havana, says a despatch from MadriA re
ceived here to-day. Their destination isuii
known, information is also received hore to
"10 effect that General Blanco yesterday
summoned to tlio palace tho colonels of vol
unteers and told them the situation may bo
come critical at any moment, aud they must
prepare for war.
Tho Minneapolis Sailed.
Movements aro active in Naval circles
heru, and uowhero more so than about the do
partmeuts tu-day. Every preparation for
action is being tukeu. The Minneapolis
sailed this morning, steaming away at top
speed to joia tho lljlug squadron. Tlio Key
West fleet is stripped for action, and is now
ready to move at fifteen minutes' notico.
patrol of torpedo boats is on guard ut that
point, '
Commoder Schley was ordered this after
noon to have the flying squadron ready to

Tlio situation hero is critical. Tho Prcsi
dant is expected to send a message to
Congress to-morrow or not later than Mou
uay, and that body will then dechro Cuba
independence
(.eitoral AVoodfurtl to Leave
A cable despatch from Loudon, received
horo this merning, says that General Wood
ford, representing the United States at tin
Spanish capital, is preparing to leave Mad
rid. While the news seems to bo authoutlc,
the state department would neither u Hi rm
nor deny tho leport.
Americana Louvlng Culm.
A great chango has como over tho Spanish
otllclals at Havana sinco tho report of th
.Maine disaster has been made known, and
advicos from titers show it to bo daugcrou
fur Americans to remain in Cuba. A general
exodus is about to begin among tho Ameri
cans, and over 6no bundled of thum arilvcd
at Tampa, I'la., labt ulgbt. Counsel General
Leo realizes tho strlousuess of the situation.
No Oirur or I'oroliru Medlntloil.
Tho attitude of European powers
continue to be seriously discussed in
olllclal quarters, as It was felt that an
offer of European mediation was al
most certain to follow a war crisis.
No distinct offer has been submitted
ut to the present moment. In this con
nection the cable reports from Ilerlln
Und oui claim, and was about to make
a navui ueiiiuusiruiioi) in uuoa, at
tracted much attention. The German
ambassador, Dr. Von Hollenben, said
that he hud received no Information as
to this reported move, nor was he ac
quainted XillK the Cannamba case re-
rorred to In the dispatch. The Spanish
milliliter Is also unacquainted with the
Cuntianiha ense, nnd does not credit
the report that Ocrinniiy has taken
Bteps of a decisive character.
The Spanish ambassador at Berlin Is
the father-in-law of the Spanish min
ister here, and that latter would bo
quite likely to know If Germany had
made a move Involvlnc the dispatch
of a warship to Cuba for punitive pur
poses. It was the general feeling that
If Germany had taken any such action
It would have n most decided Inlluonco
upon the Spanlsh-Amerlcnn situation
and one seriously prejudicial to Spain.
For this reason It was tho opinion of
diplomats that Germany would not
choose such a Juncture as the present
In order to make emergency demands In
a claim against Spain.
Said a prominent diplomat today:
"Spain seems to be under the Impres
sion that the national honor forbids her
from surrendering any part of her
colonial domain under the pressure of
the United States. There are, how
ever, precedents Bhowlngthat Kuropean
powers have preserved their dignity
while makinir similar concessions. It
may be remembered that the Ionian
Islands, a part of the Turkish empire,
were afterwards ceded to Greece by
Great Britain, and that Venltla was re
surrendered by Austria not directly to
Italy, but to France, who transferred
It to the government of Victor Eman
uel." Contxre-" Will Wait fntll Monday.
Congress will wait until Monday be
fore any action Is taken. The president
has asked delay until that time, and
assurances have been given by those
In charge of affairs that there will be
nothing done until Monday.
Both committees of congress dealing
with foreign affairs weic In session
esterday. The senate committee con
tinued Its examination of the report on
the Maine, and the house committee,
by a party vote, refused to take any
action on Cuba until Monday.
The senate committee agreed to, and
Senator Lodge reported, a bill appro
priating fa.000,000 to purchase one or
more of tho Danish West India Isl
ands, to be used for naval purposes.
The senate committee had before It
Captain SIgsbee, of the ill fated Maine,
and Captain Barker, Secretary Long's
naval aide. What these olllcers told
the committee Is treated confidentially.
The committee of Republicans which
waited on the persldent yesterday re
ported to the conference at a meeting
held after the adjournment of tho
house. They stated that the president
made a frank declaration as to what
was taking place between the two gov
ernments and concluded with these
words: "I pray God that we may be
nble to keep peace." The Impression
left with the delegation, however, was
that he did not expect a peaceable ad
justment. In strictest confidence Mr.
McKlnley outlined the course of com
munications between Washington and
Madrid. He stated that all now de-
pended on dispatches to bo communi
cated and received probably within 43
hours. The response of Spain to a
message cabled It by this government
was expected hourly, and surely would
be received within 21 hours. After It
arrived It would he necessary for this
country to send another cable note as
a reply to Madrid. All this might be
accomplished in less than 48 hours.
An Kxoltlnii Hay lu tho IIouso.
For three hours the packed galleries
and excited members of the house lis
tened to a passionate outburst of ora
tory on the Cuban Question, during
which the intensity of feeling was al
ternately manifested by cheers, Jeers
and hisses. Time and again the excited
throngs in the galleries were admonish
ed to be silent, and once, at least, it
seemed as if a motion would be made
to clear them. The three speeches
which stirred the assemblage to its
denths were made by Mr. Grosvenor, of
Ohio, who, It was assumed, spoko lor
the administration and who practically
nledired it to the cause of free Cuba;
Mr. Bailey, of Texas, the Democratic
leader, who announced the Democratic
position as for free Cuba without war,
if it could be avoided, but with war If
necessary, and Mr. Johnson, of Indi
ana, who spoke for peace, declaring
that it was our duty to co to the ex
treme In magnanimity to avoid tho nor
rors of war.
Mr. Lewis, a Democrat from Wash
ington Btate, provoked the speech of
Mr. Johnson, which aroused the mem
hers and the galleries to the fever pitch
of excitement. Mr. Lewis had de
nounced the proposition that Cuba pur
chase her freedom from Spain, which.
It was alleged, the administration was
fostering. Then it was that Mr, John
son, In a brilliant speech, pleaded for
peace. He faced the storm of hisses
which swept down upon him from the
galleries like a Spartan, and with pas
slonate utterance adjured members to
pause before they plunged the coun
try into war, the evils of which would
follow after endless train. He cave it
as his opinion that if an ultimatum
had been sent to Spain It meant war,
as Spain's pride would not permit her
to humiliate herself before tne worm
He eulogized every Influence that mado
for peace, and declared his belief that
the Cuban Junta would agree to pay
$100,000,000 for the independence of the
island,
llnlloy Sots tho Gnllorlos Wild.
Mr. Halley, tho Democratic leader,
was quick to seize the advantage which
Mr. Johnson's position had afforded,
nnd In a ringing speech, which sot his
followers and tho galleries wild, he an
nounced his belief from what Mr. John
son had said that tho purpose of the
Republicans In refusing to Join with
the Democrats on Wednesday was to
give the administration an opportunity
to compel the Cuban patriots to buy
the Independence they had won from
tho butchers of Spain. Ho said he, too,
deplored war, and in describing its
awful horrors, as the southern people
had known them, drew tears from the
eyes of his colleagues. He declared
thero was yet a chance to avert war.
He had been told within 24 hours by a
representative of the Cuban tunta that
they Hit! not wartt to Involve the Din
ted Stutea In war. All they wanted
was to have their Independence recog
nized, and with the munitions of war
and the recruits they could then ob
tain their Independence could 1
achieved. In conclusion he said the
Democrats were for free Cuba without
war. If possible; with war If necessary.
This speech of Mr. llallcy's drew the
(Ire of the administration spokesman to
the floor, General Grosvenor, of Ohio.
With his reply tho climax of the day
was reached. He charged Mr. Halley
with attempting to make political cap
ital, lie denounced the statements
that the administration Intended to
force Cuba to buy her freedom hb the
silly Invention of nn Idiot, and declared
that from the president down the ad
ministration was for free Cuba. Recog
nition of her Independence, he said,
would be but a half way measure. He
thrilled his auditors when he asked
what meant the war preparations that
wore going on night and day If not
that when action was taken looking
to tho Independence of Cuba It would
bo backed up if necessary by the army
and navy of the United States.
A Cull on Status' Nnvnl M 11 It lit.
The most Important action taken by
the navy department yesterday was
the determination to have the naval
militia of the several states prepared
for Immediate service should this be
found necessary. This conclusion was
the outcome of a confeience of the
members of the naval strategic board.
Letters will be sent to the governors
and to adjutant generals of all states
where there are naval militia organi
zations asking them to set In motion
the machinery for drilling and equip
ping the state organizations promptly,
so they may be ready within a very
few hours' notice of a call to arms.
Representative C. H. Beam, of Ohio,
has sent the following telegram to
President Palma, of tho Cuban Junta:
"Having maintained the war for three
years by their own bravery, resources
and sacrifices unprecedented In nil
history, will the Cubans accent com
promise when they can overhear In the
throat of their brutal enemy the death
rattle? God forbid. Will compromise
give you back vour son? Will It un
rape your daughter? Will It revive the
mother who urged them on with the
last breath which starvation allowed?
Fight It out. Uncle Sam Is dusting off
his uniform."
