Senator Mason told a good story re cently in connection with the immigra tion bill. The senator took a trip into the northwest not long ago, visiting a section where there are many immi grants from Sweden and Norway. He was in the restaurant at a railway dep ot and observed the conductor of the train come in and purchase something to eat at the counter. In orae manner the conductor dropped his commuta tion meal ticket upon the floor, and n Hturdy Swede who wore hob-nailed boots stepped upon it. "And do you know/' concluded the senator, "that when the conductor picked up thai ticket he found the Swede had punched •3.40 out of it I" There !s a more intolerable nuisance in the theater than the big hat. This nuisance, says a Boston exchange, is the late comer. Sometimes he is alone; he has dined heavily; he has been late in deciding where to go; he saunters leisurely down the aisle; his seat is at least six places from the aisle; lie apolo gizes loudly and steps carefully on male and female feet. Or he Is one of a the ater party. He and his friends come in the full glory of evening dress, but they come late. There arc people on the stage, but the theater party does not see them as it enters —nor do those seat ed near them until the party, with much ceremony, is seated. There is still one state, Mississippi, that does not observe Christmas as n legal holiday, and there is but one day that is so recognized by all of the states, and that is Sunday. The Fourth of July is ignored as a holiday in the laws of Minnesota, and Arkansas, Ken tucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Rhode Island do not recognize January 1 as a legal holiday. Memorial day is observed as such in 34 states. "Afraid of mice?" said a city woman, in tones of astonishment. "Why, I like them. They ore dear little things. In the full numbers of the field mice make their way into our house. I have had them sit on the rocker of my chair while I was sewing." Where now are the mockers at woman's courage? Cnpt. Sigsbce's apothegm, "It is bet ter to know than to think," is likely to become u permanent saying, remarks u fucetious exchange. Yet the trouble will remain that there are so many people who think they know but really do not know enough to think. It is said the Tartars have a quaint custom of taking a guest by the ear when inviting him to eat, or drink with them. Such a proceeding is unneces sary in this country. The guest gen erally does the ear-grabbing over here. As an inducement to manufacturers to locate there Alabama has exempted cotton mills from taxation for a period of ten years, and as a result many new mills will soon be in operation in that ttAte.

Some funny requests reach congress .men, but Representative Laccy, of lowa, thinks that a letter which he received from a constituent takes the cake. •"I'leose send me," said the writer, "all the obituaries about congressmen that are published. I do so like to read about dead congressmen." Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, bus publicly condemned the cusioni of erecting what he calls "heathen monu ments" in Christian cemeteries. Among heathen monuments lie classes obelisks, wrecked ships, broken shafts and urns. The recent death of Jock Darling, the famous guide of the Maine woods and the ancestor of two generations ol guides, removes a man who for half a century was known to all hunters and sportsmen of New England. It is said that a Kentucky surgeon replaced with a wooden leg the broken leg of a steer that was caught under a falling tree at Bowling Green. 0-A.OTOXI.I-A., IllipSi CRISIS IS REACHED. ! RECOGNITION OF CUBAN INDEPEN- I DENCE DEPRECATED. Intervention Is Justified—Spain Wants to ! Arbitrate the Maine Disaster Cuba's | Horrible Condition —President McKlnley 1 Says the State of Affairs on the Island Is Intolerable. Washington, April 14.—Following is a summary of President McKinley's message ; to Congress: To THE CONGRESS OK THE UNITED STATES: Obedient to t lat precept of the Constitu- I tion which commands the President to give j from time to time to the Congress in forma- i tion of the state of the Union, and to re commend to their consideration such j measures as lie shall judge necessary and , expedient, it becomes my duty now to ad- ' I dress your body with regard to the grave j crisis that lias arisen in the relations of the j United States and Spain by reason of the j warfare that now more than three years has raged in the neighboring island of Cuba. | The present revolution is but successor j of other similar insurrections which have ! j occurred in Cuba against the dominion of | M'KIMET AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF. Spain, extending over a period of nearly half a century, each of which, during its progress, has subjected the United States to great effort and expense in enforcing its neutrality laws, caused enormous losses to 1 American trade and commerce, caused ir ritation, annoyance and disturbance among our citizens, and by the exercise of cruel, | barbarous and uncivilized practices of war- I fare shocked the sensibilities and offended ! the humane sympathies of our people. I Since the present revolution began in Feb ruary, 1890, this country has seen the fer- j tile domain at our threshold ravaged by j tire and sword in the course of a struggle I unequalled in the history of the island, and j rarely paralleled as to the number of com batants and the bitterness of the contest by revolution of modern times where a de pendent people, striving to be free, have been opposed by the power of the sovereign State. Our people have beheld a once prosperous community reduced to comparative want, it* lucrative commerce j virtually paralyzed, its exceptional pro ductiveness diminished, its fields laid waste, ! its mills in ruins, and its people perishing j | by tens of thousands from hunger and desti- ' tution. i As I said in my message of last De- ! cember, it was not civilized warfare, it was extermination. The only peace 1 it could beget was that of the wilder- I ness and the grave. Meanwhile, the ! military situation in the island had un- ! dergone a noticeable change. The ex- | traordinary activity that characterized I the second year of war, when the in surgents invaded even the hitherto un- ! harmed fields of Pinar del Rio, and | carried havoc and destruction up to | the walls of me city of Havana itself, had relapsed into a dogged struggle in the central and eastern provinces. The Spanish arms regained a measure of control in Pinar del Kio and parts of Havana, but under the existing condi tion of the rural country, without im mediate improvement of their produc tive situation. Even thus partially re stricted, the revolutionists held their own, and their conquest and submis sion put forward by Spain as the °s sential and sole basi* of peace seemed as far distant as at the outset. The . prospect of such a protraction and con -1 elusion of the present strife is a con tingency hardly to bo contemplated with equanimity by the civilized world, and least of all by the United States, affected and concerned as we are, deep ly and intimately, by its very existence. Realizing this it appeared to be my duty in a spirit of true friendliness, no J less to Spain than to the Cubans, who have so much to lose by the prolonga -1 tion of the s ruggle to seek to bring I about an immediate termination of the t war. As a result of much representa tion and correspondence to this end I submitted on the '27 th ultimo, through s the United States Minister at Madri 1, f propositions to the Spanish govern ment looking to an armistice until O t. 1, for the negotiation of peace with the i good offices of the President. In add!- tion i asked the immediate revocation \ of the order of reconcentration so as to permit the people to return to their farms and the needy to be relieved j 1 with provisions and supplies, the i United States, co-operating with the ; i Spanish authorities so as to afford full j i relief. The reply of the Spanish Cab- ] inet was received on the night of the , 31st ultimo. It offers, as the means to i bring about peace in Cuba, to confide , , the preparation thereof to the insular i parliament, inasmuch as the concur rcnce of that .body would he necessary 1 to reach a final result, it being, how- j ever, understood that the powers re- j served by the Constitution to the cen- ' tral government are not lessened or diminished. These tieii ents of danger and d'torJer j ahead/ poii ted put Uavj ic u itrikus!v Illustrated by a tragic event which has deeply and justly moved the American peo ple. 1 have already transmitted to Con gress the report of the Naval Board of In quiry on the destruction of the battleship Maine in the harbor of Havana during the night of the 16th of February. The de struction of that noble vessel has filled the national heart with inexpressible horror. Two hundred and fifty-eight brave sailors and marines and two officers of our navy, reposing in the fancied security of a friend ly harbor, have been hurled to death, grief and want brought to their homes and sor row to the nation. The Naval Court of Inquiry, which, it is needless to say, commands the unqualified confidence of the Government, was unani mous in its conclusion that the destruction of the Maine was caused by an exterior ex plosion, that of a submarine mine. It did not assume to place the responsibility. That remains to be fixed. In any event, the destruction of the Maine, by whatever exterior cause, is a patent and impressive proof of a state of things in Cuba that is intolerable. That j condition is thus shown to be such that the Spanish Government cannot assure safety I and security to a vessel of the American Navy in the harbor of Havana oil a mission of pdace and rightfully there. Further referring in this connection to recent diplomatic correspondence, a dis patch from our Minister to Spain, of the 28th ult.,-contained the statement that the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs as sured him positively that Spain will do all that the highest honor and justice required in the matter of the Maine. The reply of the 31st ult. also contained an expression of the readiness of Spain to submit to an arbitration all the differences which can arise in this matter, which is subsequently explained by the note of the Spanish Min ister at Washington of the 10th inst., as follows: "As to the question of fact whic{i springs from the diversity of views between the report of the American and Spanish ! boards, Spain proposes that the fact b I ascertained by an impartial investigation by ! experts, whose decision Spain accepts in advance." To this I have made no reply. The only hope of relief and repose from a condition which can no longer be endured is ..he enforced pacification of Cuba. In the name of humanity, in the name of civilization, In behalf of endangered American interests which give us the right and the duty to speak and to act, the war in Cuba must stop. In view of these facts and these con siderations I ask the Congress to au thorize and empower the President to i take measures to secure a full and final | termination of the hostilities between the government of Spain and the peo ple of Cuba, and to secure in the isl | and the establishment of a stable gov ernment capable of maintaining order and observing its international obliga | tions, ensuring peace and tranquillity and the security of its citizens as well as our own,and to t:se the military and naval forces of the United States as may be necessary for these purposes. And in ti.e interest of humanity, and to aid !a preserving the lives of the starving people of the island, I recommend that the distribution of food and supplies he continued, and that an appropria tion out of the public treasury to sup plement the charity of our citizens. The issue is now with Congress. It is a solemn responsibility. I have ex hausted every effort to relieve the in tolerable condition of affairs which i 3 at our doors. Prepared to execute every obligation imposed upon me by the Constitution and the law, I aw tit your action. Yesterday and since the preparation of the foregoing message official infor mation was received by me that tne latest decree of the Queen Regent of Spain directs Gen. lllanco. in order to prepare and facilitate peace, to pro | cla m a suspension of hostilities the | duration and details of which have not yet been communicated to me. This fact with every other pertinent consideration, will, I am sure, have have your Just and careful attention in the solemn deliberations upon which you are about to enter. If this meas ure attains a successful result, then our aspirations as a Christian, peace loving people will be realized. If It fails it will be only another Justification for our contemplated ac tion. WILLIAM McKINLEY. Executive Mansion, April 11, 1808. r>omr and Garcia Ready to Co-operate. Jacksonville, Fla.—The Cuban Junta here has receivad a very important letter from General Gomez. While its contents have been guarded very carefully and the main portion sent on to the New York Junta's office, it is ascertained that it brings news that Gomez is preparing to co-opc rate with the United States forces in case of war in an attack upon Havana. Calixto Garcia has passed the trocha, and he and Gomez, with 18,000 troops, are now inarch ing westward and toward Havana. The | insurgents are recruiting in all sections, I and from good authority it is ascertained that Gotnez promises to have from *26,000 to 30,000 troops behind Havana to aid in reducing it.

Washington, D.C.—Consul-General Fitz hugh Lee has arrived here from Havana A large crowd of enthusiastic admirers gathered at the Pennsylvania station, and when the Genrral stepped from the train he was greeted with a tremendous outburst of applause. Women waved their hand kerchiefs and men their hats, and alto gether the demonstration was a notable one. Washington crowds, as a rule, are not demonstrative, but this occasion was a conspicuous exception. Ot.VtKAL KITZIIL'GII LEK. The General has not perceptibly changed in appearance since he was last iu Wash ington. His eye is as bright and his step as elastic as ever, and nothing in his man ner indicated that there had been anything unusual in his experience. How long he will remain in Washington is not known, but it is assumed that he will make his wishes conform to those of the Presidents* to the length of his stay. RESOLUTIONS DECLARE WAR. Mandatory Measure* by the Foreign Com mit teen Will be for Intervention. Washington, 1). C.—Mandatory resolu tions directing the President to intervene in Cuba, and couched in such terms as to amount practically to a declaration of war, will be reported to both houses of Con gress at once. The preamble of the resolu tions says, in effect: "That the horrible condition of affairs existing for more tluifi three years in the island of Cuba, so near to our borders, is shocking and a disgrace to Christian civili zation; that it luts culminated iu the de struction of a United States battleship and 200 of her officers and crow while on a friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and tliat such things as this cannot longer be tolerated, and that therefore, carrying out the suggestion in the President's message that Congress should act, be it resolved— "First—That the people of the island of Cuba arc and of right ought to be free and independent. "Second—That the war Spain is waging against Cuba is so destructive of the com mercial and property interests of the Uni ted States, and so cruel, barbarous and in human in its character as to make it the duty of the United States to demand, and the Government of the United States here by does demand, that she at once withdraw her land and naval forces from Cuba and Cubaq waters. "Third—That the President of the Uni ted States be, and he hereby is, empowered and directed to use the entire laud aud naval forces of the United States to carry these resolutions into effect. "Fourth—That the President is author ized to call out the militia of the different States -to such an extent as may be neces sary to carry these resolutions into effect." SUMMARY OF THE NEWS. Horatio S. Rubens, counsel for the Cuban Junta, declared the Cubans could not ac cept any interference by the United States which did not include absolute independ ence for Cuba, and if American troops were landed in Cuba on other terms would as a last resort resist them by force ot arms. The Junta promptly repudiated the last part of the statement. Special reports show that nearly every State in the Union is preparing for war. Militia is being recruited to full strength, equipments are being overhauled and sup plies got ready. Preparations for quick nioblization are being made. Many com panies of volunteers are being organized. Several States have provided war funds for emergency. The man who made for Spain the mine which he is convinced blew up the Maine, J. P. Gibbons, of London, cabled a signed statement. He savs it was a ground mine containing 500 pounds of guncotton, and could not possibly have been exploded ex cept by an officer of the Spanish Govern ment. Representative Lorrimer, of Illinois, says General Lee told Captain Sigsbee that when the Maine was blown up the electric lights in Havana were extinguished, show ing electrical connection with the destruc tion of the battleship. General Lee will tell what he knows to Congress. A detachment of the New York Naval Reserves—the first of our citizen soldiery to be called into active service—reported for duty on the United States monitor Nahant at Philadelphia It is expected that the monitor will be stationed at New York. Minister Woodford savs that delay is making tor peace in Spain, but all reported facts point to a growing conviction there that war is inevitable. The General has been instructed by the State Department to leave Madrid when he sees fit. The officers and men of the Asiatic squadron cabled at their own expense from Hongkong for news of tho Maine. On or ders from Washington the Boston and Con cord were called hark from Chemulpo and the fleet made ready for action. Most of the ships of Spain's navy are gathering at Cadiz. But instead of any squadron being ordered to American waters, neither squadron assembling at Cadiz is anywhere near ready for sea, much less for lighting. us nisi an TRYING TO GAIN TIME GENERAL BLANCO ORDERED TO SUS PEND HOSTILITIES. Th Captaln-deueral Is to Prepare a Way for Peace—The European Powers Advised This Action—Of Course, Spain May De fend Herself If the Patriots Fight On and She Continues Preparations. Madrid, April 14.—The Cabinet has is sued an official note which says that the Ministers have authorized Captain-General Blanco to suspend hostilities in Cuba for such time as he thinks convenient in order to prepare tne way for peace. Gen. Correa, Minister of War, has made the following statement, which uiay be taken as summing up the reasons why the war party within the Government adopted the concession made by their colleagues:— "It is a mistake to say that the Govern ment has granted an armistice to the rebels. I would not have agreed to that. I would rather have left the Cabinet, for such action would be tantamount to recog nizing the rebels as belligerents. What the Government agreed to in response to the invitation of the powers is this: "Not to prosecute hostilitilities for such time as Gen. Blanco may deein expedient as preparatory to peace. I acceded to this cessation of hostilities because to reject the suggestion of the powers would have been to divorce Spain from the whole world. If I left the Cabinet I should be bequeathing an evil heritage to my successor. "I believe that Gen. Blanco will proclaim the concession of a truce, and also the wil lingness of the Government to offer indul gent terms to the rebels. If during the truce there are important submissions, if the United States withdraws its men-of war from the neighborhood of Cuba and the Philippine Islands, all will be well, and away to peace will be speedily arranged; but if not, then the war will be coutiuued in Cuba, and the powers will be obliged to ask of the United States absolute neutrality and the dissolution of the filibustering committee in New York. "All this does not prevent the Spanish Government from continuing to make mili tary preparaiions and to place the Penin sula, the Canary and Balearic Islands and Porto Kico in a state of defence." The report that the condition of the armistice include the withdrawal of the American fleets from waters near Cuba and the Philippine Islands is reproduced everywhere, but there is nothing to sub stantiate its truth. a HAVANA'S GRAVE PLIGHT. The Cuban Forced Threaten to Make a I>a*h L'pon the City. Havana, Cuba.—The Cubans are gather ing in considerable numbers around Havana and threaten to make a dash on the capital at any moment. The situation is so grave iu this respect that General Arolas, Colonel Paglein, and a delegation of the Artillery Department inspected and reinforced the fortifications on the outskirts of the city. General Arolas, who is the Spanish mili tary commander of Havana, intends to re inforce still further the stragetical posi tions, fearing that the Americans may land an army, and the Cubans, joining them, may lead them to the weakest points on the land side. It is a well known fact that Havana is practically defenceless by land. The exact number of Cuban sokliers now in Havana province is 3,000. From Pinar del Kin 4,000 more can come within twenty-four hours. Hljj l.iuera for the Navy, New York, N. Y.— Several of the vessels of the North German Lloyd Mediterranean service have been offered to the Govern ment. Gustav 11. Schwab, of the New York office of the Company, has made the offer to the Naval Auxiliary Hoard, and it is possible that negotiations looking to their purchase will he opened shortly. The largest and best-equipped vessels will not, however, be sold, lu the Mediterranean service are the Fulda, Kins, Werra, Kaiser Wilhelm 11. and Adlcr. The American line steamer Illinois will be inspected short ly at Philadelphia. Fleeing from Porto Kico. St. Tlionias.—An outbreak against for eigners, especially Americans, is expected at San Juan de Porto Kico at. any moment, and so serious has the situation become that United States Consul P. C. Hunua has been ordered to this island for safety. The Consul and all the members of the Ameri can colony spent the night on board the British steamer Virginius. The people have become very turbulent. The military has not been able to prevent bloodshed. Riots have occurred in many towns. Spain's '• HornMi" Prepare for Sea. St. Vincent, Cape Verde Islands.—The Spanish torpedo fleet is making hurried preparations for sea. Each one of the tor pedo boats and destroyers has been coaled to its full capacity. The torpedo boats carry from eighteen to twenty-five tons and the destroyers a hundred tons each. The crews are in good condition and arc very enthusiastic. Senor Villa.mil, the com mander of the fleet, is momentarily ex acting orders from Madrid. Flying Squadron Ordered to Sea. Old Point Comfort, Va.—The flying squadron has been ordered to sea. The gun has been fired, and the squadron sails at once. The Key West squadron has also been warned to be on their guard, and Captain Sampson is expected to send one or more ships on picket service in the Florida channel. Torpedo Boat Rownn Launched.
