WAR GItOUDS HOVER OVER

The Spanish Cabinet Adheres to its Previous Decision
and the American Administration Gives up
All Hopes of Peaceful Settlement.

Nkw York, April 8.
A special cable disputch to tho New York Sun, under signa
ture of ltd own correspondent, says the action of the combined
powers in making representations in the interest of peace at
Washington and Madrid yesterday needs explanation. Instead of
being interference, or criticism of the American policy, it is really
a full endorsement of that policy. If it were otlierwiso, says the
correspondent, Great Britain would never have been a party to it.
Europe realizes at last that in Madrid, and Madrid alone, can
any outside influence avail anything toward averting war. In
other words, Europe knows now that tho only way of complying
with America's jttst and inexorable demand for the restoration of
peace in Cuba is by Spain's immediate surrender of the Island ;
but Europe also knows that it is now impossible for either Primo
Minister Sagasta, or Queen Regent Christina, to grant that do
maud. The Spanish Ambassador to Great Uritain, Count Rascon, spoke
the simple truth when he said that any government or dynasty
yielding thus to American dictation would bo instantly swept out
of existence. Nevertheless there remained the bare possibility
that Spain, even in her pride, might submit to tho inevitable.
This possibility, this last remaining chance, has now been put
to the test. President McKinley's polito but emphutiu refusal
was a foregone conclusion; and tho roply of the Quean Itegent
has now shattered all hopes for peace.
Whatever inclination toward peace the Queen Regent and in
dividual Ministers may have hud, liavb been abandoned because
tho populace will not tolorato any withdrawal from tho attitude
Spain has assumed.
Said the Spanish Minister of War yesterday: "It would be far
better to fight foreigners than Spaniards, rising indignantly to
support their trampled honor und rights."

Washington, April 8.
Tho Senato liavint? adjourned yesterday
until Monday, tliore are fow dovelopiflouts of
startling or important character. Tho
situation ii one of waiting uutil Monday,
when dccislvo action will be taken on the
part of Congress, immediately upen the
reception of the President's message. Tliore
is no longer any doubt as to the purposes of
this government with respect to the situation
In Cuba. War, eyen in tho opinion of tho
peaco advocates, is inevitsblc, except in tho
unlooked-for eysnt of a surrendor on the
part of Spain.
Assistant Secretary of State Day this
afternoon said that all American in Cuba
doslring to leave will positively bo out of tho
Island by to-morrow (Saturday). Ifo added
that it could bo reiterated that General Leo
would learo Ha tub a on that date. He has
been recalled by his goTornment.
Tho Spanish-American situation is re
garded hero to-day as even more crave than
at any tlmo heretofore.
It is learned that the Uulted States Consuls
at l'orto Klco aro about to lcaro their posts
uudor soaled orders.
Tho Cabinet meeting to-day lasted ono hour
and a half, with a full attendance ef the
members. The President'! demeanor was
grave throughout, and the proceedings indi
cate very clearly thoro were no expectations
on tho part of tho Administration that war
would bo averted.
Tho Houso Foreign Affairs Committee met
at eleven o'clock this morning, and continued
tho hearing of Jlr. Quesada, president of the
Cubau Junta, u9 to the status of the govern
ment in Cuba. He reiterated his statoiuout
that a declaration of war against Spain by
the United States would bo a declaration
against nil Spain's subjccts.and if not coupled
with tho recognition of Cuba would Include
tho insurgents.
"The Ullsslnt IJj.k."
Iieprcsetitatlvo Lorlmor, of Illinois, gavo

ho appeared bofore the Senate Foreign Com

rives here, will supply the missing link. My
informant is Captain Slgsbee. I am iu pos
session of tho facts, and they will startle
America when mado public, but I cannot
give them until the person who gave them
releases mo from secrecy." It is supposed
that person is Lee.
Tho Crew Deserted.
A despatch from New York says the gun
beat Annapolis arrived there this morning
from Koy West. It was reported that thirty
fivo ef hor crow had deserted.
It was anuounced to-day that tho gunboat

London, April 8. Tho general tone ef the

little hope that peace will continue. The

not well considered."

ATTITUDE UNCHANGED
Washington, April h.
Gnvoriimcnt'N Attttuili, t'ni'liiiiicpd.
The reply of this eo urninont. which
fiad previously been rend ami npproved
by members of the cabinet, 1 not con
sidered as Indicating any change In the
llxed purpose of the president to Inter
vene n.t once In Cuba, nor Is It believed
that It wns the expectation of a ma
jority of the foreign representatives
present that the United States should
change Its policy or regard the Joint
note ns other than an expression In be
half of pence, and without special sig
nificance. So far ns known In admin
istration circles no further representa
tions on this subject are expected. No
titers of mediation on the part of any
European power has been received and
there Is high nuthoiity for the state
ment that none would be accepted if
proffered.
At the capltol the situation was ar-
ently discussed among Itidlvvlduals
and came up In public debate In both
houses. Senator .Morgan, of Alabama,
said In discussing an amendment to the
sundry civil appropriation hill that he
was ready to vote for a declaration of
war. In the house a significant declara
tion was that of General Grosvenor,
who declared he believed war was In
evitable. In fact the speeches made by
General Grosvenor in answer to
charges against the administra
tion by Mr. Lets:, of Ohio, was
an Important contribution to the
news of the day. The importance of
General Lee's telegrams are considered
by members not to have been over
estimated, und the Impression that the
president was amply justified In with
holding his message became a convic
tion. This fact was emphasized by the
djournment until Monday of both'
houses.
The opinion in the senate and house
Is that war must come. Even the most
ptlmlstlc of the conservatives have
given up hope of a peaceful settlement.
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 propositions. One
Is the recognltlonof independenceof the
Island, coupled with armed interven
tion to drive out the Spaniards, and
the other armed Intervention with a
declaration that Cuba should be free,
the desire on tho part of those favor
ing the latter plan being to avoid
recognizing the Insurgents and their
government, or any government until
the United States has control of the
Island.
Tho President'" IMnn.
The latter plan Is said to be that of
the president, and efforts are being
made to have It adopted, so that there
will be no division between the ex
ecutive and legislative branches of tho
government., Fear is expressed that
there may be a long debate in- the sen
ate If some compromise ,1s not agreed
upon before the committee on foreign
relations makes Its report.
Both foreign committees were In ses
sion during the day extending their in
quiries as to conditions In Cuba. Sir.
Quesada, of the Cuban Junta, gave
the house committee the reasons why
recognition of Independence was de
sired by the Cubans.
CRUSHED BY A TRAIN.
Albert Dilllnaii I'atnlly Injured lit Frack-
llle ThU Morning.
Albert Dillman, aged ISO years, met with an
accident at Frackvlllo this morniug that
resulted In death. He was nicking coal along
the P. & It. railroad, near tho station, and
tooped between the cars of a coal train that
was standing on tho main line, not noticing
that an engine was coupled to tho train.
About tho time Dillman stooped the engine
pulled eut, causing the cars to coma together.
Tho man was terribly crushed and he died an

The roads and highways roniruitUo re
ported that there was a dlfl'ereneo of opinion
between the committee and tho Schuylkill
Traction Company as to whether the bridge
of the company in the western part of the
town is safo. It was decided that the Bor
ough Engineer examine the bridge and make
a report to Council.
Mr. llrennan said Oak street ought to be
extended west of C'othcriuo street iu order to
atlbrd better drainage facilitios in that lo
cality. Jteforred to the street committee
and the Chief liurgess, Solicitor and Hoard of
Health with instructions to abate the nuisance
on account of imperfect drainage in the
western purt of the town.
Attention was called to the dangerous con
dition of a telegraph polo in front of the
O'Brien property on East Centre street.
Mr. Hand, of the finance committee, re
ported that Collector Scuulan is not able to
bring iu l'is exoseiation list for 1S06, or settle
his 1805 duplicate, because he cannot in'Kko
collections at the present time.
A suggestion that the appropriation of the
Defender Hose Company be increased from
$100 to 15ll was icferred to the finance com
mittee with the requests of Mrs. Devanie
and tho daughters of the lato Luke Keenau
for exoneration from taxes.
It was suggested that $5,000 of wator bonds
of the smaller denominations due July 1st,
1S08, be redeemed, but owiug to the impend
ing demands upon the borough treasury the
suggestion was not adopted. Tho discussion
brought out sentiments favoring the enforce
ment of sktUemr-nU on tho unsettled tax
duplicates.
A check for $120 for taxes on cars of the
Schuylkill Traction and Lakeside Electric
Hallway Companies was accepted as payment
on account.
Surrey Committee reported that a grade
had nover been given to Mayhorry alley, or
West Poplar street, whero Klondike is
located, and recommended that grades bo
furnished. It as decided that tho sticet
and survey committees, with tho Surveyor,
inspect the locality and report to Council.
Tho law comniittco reported that Mr. Ash,
manager of tho Lakeside Electric Iiailway
Company, stated that, so far as tho company
is concerned, the lowering ot the track on
East Centre street is in the hands of the
company's lawyers and the court. Borough
Solicitor Burke added that testimony in the
casa will bo taken in the near futuro.
Tho law committee also reported that con
cerning the cairn of Thomas Forguson for
?75 damages for injuries to his horso, by fall
ing into a hole near the Pennsylvania It. It.
depot, it had been learned that Mr. Fergusen
had sold tho horso to another party und the
animal was working all right. Council was
of the impression that Mr. FergUBon had no
grounds for a claim, but no formal action was
taken.
A written opinion by Borough Solicitor
Uurko on the power of Council to make ex
onerations from taxoa was road. The opinion
was in line with tho sentiments heretofore
expressed and published that Council must
exorcise its host and conscientious judgment
lu all cases after a therough investigation as
to their merits.
The lamp ami watch committeo reported
having awarded the contracts for the suits at
$13.50, each, ami helmets at $3.50, each, for
the policemen. The report was accepted.
Mr. htrauglin stated that a young lady who
works in towu and is obliged to walk to her
home in Yatesvillo complained to him that
tramps congregating at the public dumps
have molested her frequently. Mr. James
said the Mime state of affairs exists on the
road to Turkey Kun, and the offenders aro
uot only tramps, but lesidonts of this town
as well. The discussion led to a motion that
the ordinance committee draft an ordinance
by which the boiough authorities will be
enabled to handle the tramp and vagrant
question with effect.
I'hu wator committeo reported that since
tho lust meeting of Council a piston head of
ono of the pumps had broken and has been
replaced. An investigation with experts
showed that the trouble with the pump was
due to it being thrown out of liuo by a sink
ing of the foundation wall. Iho oxpert
also claimed that the pumps had been run too
fast, and over tho guarantee. Tho pump is
now working all right.
A letter from W. J. Brown, ofl'oring Council
a room to be used as an office for the watei
superintendent, was referred to tho wutcr
committee with instructions that, if the pres
ent quarters must be vacated before tho next
meeting, tho kuperiuteudent tin the Council
chamber as an office.
Instructions were given the water com
mitteo to order the engineers to run both
pumps at the sumpiugstatiunat eight revolu
tions per minute, but in case of shortage' of
supply thu rate ho Increased to ton revolu
tions. Council then went into the election of a
water superintendent aud Mr, Jamos suid
that m pursuance with an agreement (made
with Harkins and Bell) he would nominate
Jamos Bull: No other nomination was made
aud on a voto by roll call Mr. Bell was elected
by ueelviug tho votes of tho fifteen members
of Coiineil. Tho bond was fixed at the old
tUure. $10,000.
Mr. James tried to bavo an election of
asiislaut wuter superintendent made, but the
