SPAIN GOTTS AH1BISTICE TO CUBANS I
The Spanish Government Has
Armistice Has Been Granted in Cuba The Insurgents
Will Refuse all Concessions but that Which
Leads to Ultimate Independence.
Washington, April 11.
President MoKinley's postponed message dealing with the
Cuban question was submitted to Congress to-day. There wus no
change, except to inform Congress of the Spanish government's
decree proclaiming an armistice with the Cuban insurgents.
The Spanish Cabinet has issued an official note which says
that tile Ministers liave authorized Captain-General iiliuico to
suspend hostilities in Cuba for such time as he thinks convenient
in order to prepare the way for peace. Gen. Correa, the Minister
of War, says "it is a mistake to say it is an armistice for that
would bo tantamount to recognizing the rebels as belligerents.
Spain agreed not to prosecute hostilities for such time as Gen.
Blanco may deem advisable as preparatory to peace. We could
not reject the suggestion of the Powers in this regard."
Advices from Madrid expresses much fear that Spain's con
cession will bo marred by Sagasta's offensive; utterance : "We have
yielded to the influence and counsel of the Holy Father and the
six great powers what wo would refuse to the United States." The
correspondent says lie has reason to expect that the popular dis
satisfaction will assume undesirable forms shortly. Neither the
army nor the people is willing to hear explanations or excuses for
the latest backdown. There is much excitement at Madrid, but
the press censor will not allow the true state of aiTairs to bo tele
graphed to the outside world.
It is reported here this afternoon that Gen. Gomez refuses
Spain's ofTer of un armistice. The only concession tho Cuban
insurgonts will accept is ono anticipating the evacuation of the
island by the Spaniards. An official message to this effect from
tile Cuban Provisional Government lias been forwarded to Presi
dent McKinloy. There can be no armistice unless the Cubans
are a party to it, and that does not look probable.
Tho American squadron at Hong Kong lias completed ar
rangements for putting to sea, and aro ready to leave at a
moment's notice. The warships Baltimore and Hugh McCullough
arrived at that port to-day.
THE IWESSflGE.
This Important Document Wns Submitted
to Congress This Afternoon.
Special to Kvenino Herald.
Washington, April 11. President Mc-
Kinley, in accordanro with tho decision
arrived at last night, submitted his message
on tho Cuban question to Congress to-day.
Tho galletles wero packed, and every availa
ble room was occupied. At an early hour
throngs of anxious peoplo assembled in front
of the capitol building, seeking admission,
The President, in bis message submitted at
noon to day, opposed the recognition of
belligeteucy to tho Cuban insurgents as inex
pedient at this timo. Ho also opposes tho
recognition of independence at present, and
recommends tho granting of authority to tho
President for using tho United States land
and naval forces as he may deem necessary
to end the hostilities and insure a stable
government in Cuba.
The Maine incident figures prominently in
the message and the President argues that
the wrecking of tho American battleship in
tho Havana harbor bhows conclusively that
Spain is not able to guarantee the United
States and other nations tho security which
they have a right to demand.
Tho message shows that Spain first sug
gested tho desirability of an armistico,
inferring her assent, and asked the United
States to secure tho assent of tho Insurgents.
Tho request was denied by President Mc
Kinley. In his messago the President says, "I havo
exhausted overy effort to rcllove the Intolera
ble condition of affairs which Is at our doors.
"The issue is now with Congress.
"I am prepared to oxecuto every obligation
imposed on mo by tho constitution,
"I await your action."
The Senate Foreign Committco went to
session Immediately after tho Senate ad
journed, The Republicans of the Houso who are In

At 3 p. in. tho messago was retorted to the
Senate and House committees without action
Tho gcnaral Impression is that tho Foreign
Affairs Committee of the Senate, as well as
tho House committee, will report tho Fora
Hostilities in Cuba.
Notified the President that an
kor resolution so amended as to comply with

The arrival of Kaster is to-day responsible
for more broken heads aud the shedding of
more blood than anything else reconled dur
ing the past forty-one days. Ceusidering the
annual returns at court from this town this
statement appears to obtain a vast scope, hut
it is nevertheless tiue, and an inspection of
the dockets kept by the Justices of the

ment be surprising. The classes of the com
munity who are paying the salaries of the

days. As pugnacious and obstreperous as
they are, they still keep within tho corrals of

beaten aud then stabbed with a pocket knife
in tho head and hip. Her husband
entered during the afl'ray, and ho, too,
was attacked by the four men. Ho was
liauly beateu, but no knife was used upon
him. Tho woman was in such an excited
condition after tho occurrence that she could
not talk coherently. Her wounds, however,
were not dangerous and no physician was
summoned. The husbaud only know ono of
tho assailants. Ho knew of no reason for
tho outrage. Ho swore out a warrant befoio
