NEW PATTERNS, OUflTRY flEAHER WAR ACCORDING TO ADVIGES Danger is Growing Out of the Havfana Troub SPfllfl ADHERES TO Advices From Madrid This Morning Says the Spanish Cabinet Passed Resolutions Adhering to Previous Decisions, With out Modifications. Washington, April 7. The President's message, when it is presented to Congress on Monthly, will place Spain in the position of boiiif? compelled to yield every point in controversy absolutely, or else there will bo forcible intervention on our part. That means war. The Presi dent gives no udvico as to the course Congress should pursue. His language will leave iio doubt, however, as to what he would do If ho were the legislative part of the government. The message is rather long, but it is emphatic, patriotic anil conclusive. Thero will be no question of the response which Congress will make to it. A resolution for forcible intervention will at once bo reported from the Senate and House Committees on Foreign Affairs. Despatches from Madried late last evening conyeyed the astonishing and entirely unconfirmed statement that Spain hail conceded in principle everything the United States have de manded, including permission to the Cubans to govern themselves as they like. Hut later advices do not verify the above. On the other baud, a despatch received here at noon to-day from Madrid, says : "Semi-olllcial note says at the Cabinet meeting resolutions wore adopted saying that the Spanish government would adhere to all of its previous decisions, without modification." Washington, April 7. Swift as a can non's Hash changed the Cuban situa tion yesterday. The galleries of con gress were crowded, senators and rep resentatives were anxious and agitated and even the diplomatic corps was In a ferment awaiting a message from the ' president that might mean war, when, with excitement at the very highest, like an electric flash, the word passed that there would be no message. Its suddenness stunned the public, which heard the news in distorted forms, and amazed veteran members of congress. Ultimately It became known that there would bo no message this week, and that it was at least a possibility that the message written and approved might never go to congress at all. The first reason for the delay was that the administration received ad vices from General Lee, at Havana, In dicating that all Americans could not be gotten off the Island at once, and would be In grave peril If the message preceded their departure. The second reason, and perhaps equally potent with the other, slowly drifted into pub lic comprehension late in the dav, chiefly through the medium of publish ed press dispatches from Madrid, for extreme reticence was maintained on the subject by the few in Washington who knew the facts, and oven cabinet officers were unadvised on the subject. This important news was that the Spanish government, after what had plainly been most exciting times in In ner circles at Madrid, had decided to reopen the case closed, so far as this government was concerned, by the re fusal of Spain to make satisfactory response to the representations made by the United States last week, and In order to avert Impending war had de cided to make concessions heretofore refused. What will be the final outcome It Is too early to say, but tho aspect of af fairs certainly Is conslderablv mora pacific and sufficient to renew the bono THE SPANIARD'S PROPOSED ARMISTICE. It Is Itelleved the Queen Will Accept Our Terms, Washington, April 7. Tne proposed armistice by Spain in jected another featuio into the dls eusslon of the situation, and while some were very hopeful that a satis factory solution of the problem might eventuate from it the general feeling was that the conditions in Cuba, the determination of the insurgents to con tinue fighting until Independence was recognized, and the sentiment of this country in favor of Cuba's independ ence of Spain, possibly made over tures on this line too late. A generally quieter feeling was evi dent at the war and navy departments, where, in contrast to the feverish ex citement of the past week, the tone was almost apathetic. While there was the usual amount of routine attendant upon tho recent work of preparation things settled down at most to the normal. No more contracts for now vessels were closed by the navy de partment, and no changes In the sta tions of ships announced. The day was also noticeable for the nbsence of the conferences of high odlclals, and tho great tide of visitors, congressmen, public men and contractors almost en tirely disappeared. Assistant Secretary Molklejohn, of the war department, made public a statement showing that up to this time there has been allotted to the depart ment 9,279,1G7 from the emergency fund of $60,000,000 appropriated by con gress. The different bureaus receiv ing this money are; Ordnance, $4,233, 767; engineers, $1,425,000; quartermas ter's, $500,000; signal otllee, $120,400. Of the entire amount allotted $027,803 has been expended, but as much of the work begun and the munitions of war bought Is by tho contract system the government 1b liable for considerable of the remainder. 7 PREVIOUS DECISIONS. of the president in a solution of the Cuban question satisfactory to the American people and achieved without bloodshed. The details remain to be worked out, but It Is expected that be- tweun now and Monday u clearer light will be thrown on the future by ac tion at Madrid, of which une Important feature, at least, is the declaration of an armistice by the queen regent of Spain. Tills armistice, it is said, will lead to the ultimate Independence of Cuba from Spanish rule, but by what Intermediary steps perhnps even the governing powers do not at this time know. Much, It Is supposed, will do pend upon the Cuban Insurgents and the people of the United States and Spain. The powers of Europe, material and moral, it is known, brought to bear all their lnfluuence on the government of Spain, and still are actively at work seeking by the wisest and most pol ltic course necessary, in view of the circumstances and sentlmentsof the two great nations invoiveu, to uring peace out of the gathering war clouds. All the capitals of Europe have been in communication to this end, a fact evi denced by the assemblage at the Brit ish embassy In tills city Tuesday, of the representatives of the six great powers of Europe, and then and there were made mutually acquainted with what had been done abroad, and with the desire of those who accredited them to Washington that they would work In accord here. This concert, however, is not to go beyond a mild tender of good otllces to secure peace and delay a definite declaration of war If hostil ities finally became Inevitable. Some of the representatives assembled at Sir Julian Pauncefoto's may have wished to offer mediation, but If so were warn ed against it by others In the confer ence, who understood more clearly that such a procedure would be re sented and work to hostile and not to peaceful ends.

HEARING WAIYSD AND BAIL' GIYEH. Bolln' Alleges That the uouncllman Promised Him a FoitMon on the Felloe Force In Consideration of His Vote at the Primary and Election. Two suit of no little Imparlance came up before Justice Tooiney last night. Their ex istonse was known to but comparatively few people, which accounted fer tho light attend ance of spectators at the Justice's otllee. One of the suits was poetponed and the other goes upon the ealeudar of the District Attorney's office with bail entered on waiver of a bear lug. In one of the cases, Peter llarklns, who was elected a member of the Borough Council from the Fifth ward last February, is the defendant. The iufoimatlon as sworn to before Justice Toomcy on Monday last ex plains the ease. It is as follows : "llefure me personally appeared Thomas Ilolln, a qualified elector of the Fifth ward of thf Borough of Shenandoah, who upon his solemn oath according to law saith : that a certain Peter liarkius, of the same place, on the 13th day of January, 1803. did pioinieo to appoint depouent ou the police force of said borough If dopoueut would vote lor the said , Ilarkin at the Democratic primaries aud at , til election held iu Hid ward anil burougn on tho 3rd Tuesday it February, 1808, con trary to an Act of Assembly, and further saith not." The hearing was fixed for seven o'clock, - but just before that hour Councilman liar kins appealed with his counsel before Justice Toomcy, waived a hearing and euterou 30O bail for trial at court. i Tho witnesses subpoenaed in the case by ! Ruliu were M. P. Whitaker, ex-superiutend-ent of the public schools, and whose brother was elected a School Director in the Fifth ward at the last election; Frank Uanua, secretary of the School Hoard; Martiu Foylo aud (ieorge Uraitis, two of the new police men; Patrick lliggins and John Ryan. As Ifarkins waived a hearing an opportunity was not given to hear what these witnesses have to say. Tho institution of tho suit was no surprise. It had been expected daily since the re-or-ganiation of Council, but for some reasons apparently known only to himself Iiolin postponod action from time to time. The day after the re-organlzatiou of Council he wont to Pottsvillo and employed George J. Wadlinger, Esq., for the purpese, it is said, of pressing the case against liarkius aud othor charges which will involve other partios. Now that tho ex-policeman has shied his castor into the arena some interest ing developments will be looked fort CONSPIRACY CHARGED. Hon. Joseph Wjutt Alleged to lluvu Con spired With John Matthews. Tho second suit Justice Toomey took up last night was that of the Commonirealih against lion. Joseph Wyatt. As in tho case of Councilman llarkins tho information tells what the proceeding is. The paper roads : "lleforo me personally appealed Johu P. Carden, who deposes aud says : that ou ..r about the day of March, 189H, oae Joseph Wyatt, of tho borough ef Shenandoah, said county, did, in said horoufch aud couuty, niter into a scheme with one John Matthews, also a resident of said borough and county, by which the Mid John Matthews, then aud fur some time previous a debtor of this deponent, Bradigan ilros., W. P. Williams and others, was to , trausier aim convey, ana oiu on or aimiit said date convoy unto tho said Joseph Wyatt the leasehold estate and buildings, of him, the said Matthews, located at tho southeast corner of Gilbert aud Poplar streets iu said borough, which conveyance was then and thero made by the said Matthews to the said Wyatt for tho purpose of cheating aud de-1 fraudiug this deponent and other creditors of the said Matthews. That the said transfer to the said Wyatt was illegally and fraudulent ly entered iuto by tho said Wyatt for the purpose of preventing said property from being lovicd upon by .the Slieritl' uuder writs issued by this depuuont and the other eredi tors above named, that the said Wyatt entered into collusion with the said Matthews witli latent to so cheat aud defraud ud de foat this deponout and others, oroditors of eaid Matthews, coutiary to the Act of As sembly passed June '-'3, 1885, P. L. 136." The witnesses iu this case are W. G. Gregory, John .Matthews, T. J. Joyce, M. J. lraughnoy, C. T. Straughn and T. F. Bradl gan. The complainant is represented by M. M. llurke, Esq. Mr. Wyatt appeared in per son, and without counsel. Constable Giblou stated that he had visited Mahanuy City to subpoena Monrs. Ilaughnvy and Joyce, but failed in his mission. Mr. liurku said that the case could not proceed in the absence of these two witnesses and it was agreed to.defer the hearing until the Con stable serves a subpoena on tbo witnesses, when the Justice will lis a hearing and notify all parties concerned. Ell'orts will be made to get tho case up to-night, or to-morrow. Mr. Wyatt made ao plea last night. In fact he made 110 remark other than to accede to the postponement. Jllckiii l'rt Oate.
