The Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Reports in Favor
of Immediate Intervention
and Independent Govern
ment for CubansMinority
Report Submitted.
Washington, April 13.
Yesterday was ono of much anxiety
at the national capital, and thin morn
ing dawned with littlu change. The
President, Congress and the nation
awaits tho result of the deliberations
of tho Senate and House committees
on Foreign Affairs. The Republicans
havo worked diligently to secure the
adoption of a resolution by both com
mittees that will command the full
party vote when reported, and at this
writliur i llho tliey have suc
ceeded. Uoth the peace advocates
and those favoring immediate action
havo granted concessions to accom
plish that end. "The resolution re
ported, unless changes are made in
the meantime, will be the original
Fo raker resolution with slight altera
tions. The Democratic members of Con
gress wore not long in adopting a
plan of action, because their course
is directed primarily for' political ef
fect. Their resolution provides for
recognition of Cuban independence,
tho employment of our army and
navy in aiding the republic of Cuba
in maintaining tho independence
hereby recognized, and appropriating
!jl,000,000 for relief of the starving.
Gen. Lee's testimony, however,
changed their program. Ho strongly
advised against tho recognization of
the present Cuban government, and
in accordance with his suggestion
that feature will be omitted from the
Democratic demand. This brings
tliein so closely to tho position of the
Republicans that thoy will likely
support tho report of tho Foreign
Affairs Committee.
Gen. AVoodford is still at his post in
Madrid, and will remain there unless
actual hostilities begin. Advices
from that point say tiiat Spain will
not tolerate intervention on tho part
of the United States in Cuba. Tho
"liiboral," the organ of Sagasta, says
that "were Spain to admit the Ameri
can claim of a right to intervene sho
would immediately sink to a position
of ignominious tutolago."
Taking a calm view of tho situation
in Washington, in connection witli
the feeling at Madrid, there is a de
cided war feeling growing.
G1ISIS f SfJII(J.
A Civil War Soon It Thmo is no Wiir With
tlio ITullt'il Status. ,
Now York.April 13. A cable despatch, un
der signature, to the Sun says it is not prob
able that either President McKinloy or the
American Congress will bo allowed to decide
tho issue of peace or war, unless thoy decide
within n weak.
Tho fooling at Madrid is such that neither'
l'rime Minister Skgasta nor the Queen Regent
herself any longer lias tho power to concede
tho demands of tho American government,
or even to execute the concessions already
granted, although they both are determined
to yield to President McKlnlcy's demands, as
far as Spanish sentiment will permit.
Tho populace at Madrid has rebelled
Not Tolerate the Interven
against tho armistice. The only cbauco tlio
Sagasty Ministry has for prolonging its cx
istonio is to reverse its policy anil adopt an
agcrcsslvo attitude towards the United
States. This will ho done.
The Madrid correspondent adds : "There
will ho a civil war here within a month if
theie is not war with the United States. The
Sagasta Ministry will soon go when the
people learn how they havo been deceived in
overy step of the recent negotiations, includ
ing Satinday's announcement of an armis
tice, when the Government gavo out that it
was for live days only, with onerous condi
tions imposed on the United States.
"Thore will he a serious uprising of the
army, which will ho useless against a mob.
The troops would join the rioters, as the
Government well knows. Weylor is gaining
fresh indueuco with tho army, which ho will
not hesitate to turn agaiust the present Gov
ernment if opportunity oilers."

Washington, April 13.
Congress met at noon to-day, and, as on the
two previous days of this week, the galleries

ing. Ho gave practically tho samo testimony
as beforo the Senate committee, to tho ctrect
that Spanish agencies caused tho destruction
of the Maine. He said : "If I had been
President, Spain would havo given up Cuba
when tho first American citizen was killed.'
The Senate Foreign Relatious committed

the session opened, a resolution for immi:di

The live minority members of tho com
mitteo will report a resolution favoring the
recognition oi the independence of the
Cuban insurgents, which is contrary to tho
advice given by Consul-General Lee.
Tho report which accompanies tho Seuate
Foreign llelatlons Committee includes a
strong resolution, emphatic in charging tho
Spanish officials with tho destruction of tho
battleship Maine. Tho resolution is pro
ceded by n long preamble setting forth the
conditions making such action as it calls for
advisable and necessary by Congress.
Tho majority of tlio House Foreign Affairs

all sides as boing most serious, and an out

Tho Sonato will not act on tho resolution

After reading Prcsldeut McKluloy's mes
sage tho Spanish Cabinet affirmed the gov

edge tho right of tho Uulted States to inter
fere lu Cuba. Tills announcement was re
ceived with much demonstration of approval
ou tho part of the war officials.
When tho Ministers adjourned, an official

Washington, April 13. Tlio Navy depart

The Coal Trade
Tho anthracito coal trade doos not show
much change. A littlo more ordering of
coal for New Kngland points and some move
ment westward were tho chief features of
the trade. Tim prospect of war caused
various eastern consumers to buy coal, in
order that it could bo forwarded by water
beforo there was risk of hostilities interfer
ing with shipments. It was reasoned, how
ever, by most lioston dealers that war would
not make much advance in price, as all rail
shipment was feasible and tho cost would
not bo much greater than by vessels. The
tidewater prices aro still shaded !nYM3 cents,
notwithstanding the reduction of S3 cents
por ton in the circular ratos. Tho outlook is
gloomy, and dealers, being confident of
further reductions in prices, still keep to the
haud-to-moutli prlnciplo in ordering, so that
they aro reducing orders to the lowest limit.

Both Are Held-
Justice William 11. Shoemaker jpent several
hours last night listening to evidence bearing
upon the robbery of Max Supowiti's ware
house in the First ward, which occurred be
tween a and R o'clock on Monday morning,
whoieby the owner of the warehouse claims
to have lost about $.100 worth of gum boots,
blankets, quilts and caps. The affair has ex
cited considerable interest and the C'.Al.
pollco force have representatives at every
heariujr, as it is believed that there exists in
this town a branch of an organized liand of
thicvos that operates in different part of the
region.
The first prisoner put on trial last night
was "Jack" Welsh, a youth of unsavory
reputation and a bad record. He pleaded
not guilty to tho chargu preferred against
him, but volunteered no cross-examination or
contradiction of the witnesses who appeared
against lilm. The first witness was Toney
Selbor, an Italian residing at the West Coal
street Hats, who swore that he saw Welsh sell
a pair of gum boots to an Italian for $1 at the
Hats on Monday, between 10 and 11 o'clock
in the morning. Welsh said he wanted to
sell tho boots because ho ncedod mouoy. A
pair of new gum hoots were shown to the
witness and identified as those Welsh sold.
Supplementary' to this testimony war. evi
dence of convincing character. Steve Shick
ton swore hn bought tho boots from Welsh
and Martin Monaghau swore that the prisoner
was one of the men chafed from tho vicinity
of the Indian Itidgo colliery on Monday
morning. Monaghau said lie was pretty
positive that tho prisoner was the man who
was running away with a pair of gum boots
on hisshouldcr and threatened to shoot tho
wituoss if he did not desist in tho chase.
Mrs. Mary A. Day swore tho prisoner
oll'eioil gum boots for salu among the Italians
at thu Coal street fiats on Monday and Mrs.
Lottie Ailcbach said sho saw tho prisoner
entur an Italian's house at tho fiats at about
10 or 11 o'clock Monday morning with a pair
of gum boots. Michael Gibbons and James
l. Sampsell gavo tcstimeny substantially the
samo as that gien by Mouighau, except that
the latter was positive in his indentilieation
of tlio prisoner, because tho prisoner passed
within ten yards of the place whero the
witness was working on" the timber bank
shortly beforo tho chaso occurred.
Upon the conclusion of tho hearing Welsh
was committed to jail without bail, after
which Joe Pickaloski, alias Joe Smith, also
arrosted iu eomiectiou witli tho robbery, was
put on trial. Joo laughingly ploaded not
guilty. James O. Sampell, Michael Gibbons
and Martin Moiiaghan wore pretty positive
that Pickaloski was in the gang that was
chased on Monday. John Jeukius was also
called as a witness, but could uot identify
Pickaloski. Watchman Tempost was called,
but was on his heat. Ho will givo evidence
that will cut Joo's laughing oil' Short whon
the trial takes place. Welsh and Pickaloski
were Ukcn to jail this morning.
Itattlosnake Pete, whose real name is Poter
Litwyn and who was committed yosterday
for complicity in the robbery, was released
four months ago after serving four years in a
Houso of Conoctiou. His mother was killed
soveral years ago while digging coal in
ono of the mine breaches north of the
western end of Coal street and after that
