Senator Mason told a good story re
cently In connection with the immigra- 1
tion bill. The senator took a trip into |
the northwest not long ago, visiting a ' 1
section where there urc many inimi- ' |
grunts from Sweden and Norway. He j
w as in the restaurant at a railway dep- t
ot and observed the conductor of the j <
train come in and purchase something i
to eat at the counter. In some manner j
the conductor dropped his commuta- j
tion meal ticket upon the floor, and it !
sturdy Swede who wore hob-noileci '
boots stepped upon it. "And do you
know," concluded the senator, "that
when the conductor picked up that !
ticket he found the Swede had punched
$3.40 out of it!"
There !s n more intolerable nuisance i
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; Ids seat is at
least six places from the aisle; he apolo
gizes loudly and steps carefully on male
and female feet. Or he Is one of a the
ater party. He und his friends come in •
the full glory of evening dress, but they 1
come late. There arc people on the
stage, but the theater parly does not '
see them as It enters —nor do those seat
ed near thein 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 i
that is so recognized by all of the
states, and that is Sunday. The Fourth
of July is igxiored 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 holiduy.
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 are dear little things. In ,
the fall numbers of the field mice make
their way into our house. I have hud
thera sit on the rocker of my chair
while I was sewing." Where now arc*
the mockers at woman's courage ?
Capt. Sigsbee's apothegm, "It is bet
ter to know than to think," is likely to
become u permanent saying, remarks
a fucetious exchange. Yet the trouble !
will remain that there are so many !
people who think they know but really j
do not know enough to think.
It is said the Tartars have a quaint j
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

As an example of the sway which the

in Detroit is suing for breach of prom

Some funny requests reach congress

I PRESIDENT S MESSAGE!
CRISIS IS REACHED. ;
RECOGNITION OF CUBAN INDEPEN- 1
DENCE DEPRECATED.
Interventtou In Justified—Spain Wants to j
Arbitrate the Muine Disaster Cube's j
Horrible Condition President McKlnley 1
.Says the State of Aflelrs on the Island 1*
Intolerable.
Washington, April 14.—Following is a j
summary of President McKinley's message j
to Congress:
To THE CONURF.SS OF TUB UNITED StATRSI I
Obedient to t at precept of the Constitu- I
tion which commands the President to give |
from time to time to the Congress informs- j
tion of the state of the Union, and to re- j
commend to their consideration such j
measures as he shall judge necessary and !
expedient, it becomes my duty now to ad- '
dress your body with regard to the grave
crisis that has arisen in the relations of the
United States and Spain by reason of the
warfare that now more than three years
has raged in the neighboring island of Cuba.
The present revolution is but successor
of other similar insurrections which have
occurred in Cuba airainst the dominion of 1
M'KIXLET AS COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF.
Spain, extending over a period of nearly
half a century, each of which, during its
progress, lias subjected the United States to
great effort and expense in enforcing its
neutrality laws, caused enormous losses to |
American trade and commerce, caused ir- i
ritation, annoyance and disturbance among |
our citizens, and by the exercise of cruvl, |
barbarous and uncivilized practices of war- j
fare shocked the sensibilities and offended 1
the humane sympathies of our people.
Since the present revolution began in Feb
ruary, 1800, this country has seen the fer- |
tile domain at our threshold ravaged by j
fire and sword in the course of a struggle
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- j
pendent people, striving to be free,
have been opposed by the power of the j
sovereign State. Our people have beheld a j
once prosperous community reduced to I
comparative want, its lucrative commerce j
virtually paralyzed, its exceptional pro
ductiveness diminished, its fields laid waste, '
its mills in ruins, and its people perishing !
by tens of thousands from hunger and desti- !
tutlon.
As I said in my message of last De- !
cember, it was not civilized warfare,
it was extermination. The only peace !
it could beget was that of the wilder- j
ness and the grave. Meanwhile, the !
military situation in the island hud un- !
dergone a noticeable change. The ex- j
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 ine 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 Rio 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 conques.. and submis
sion put forward by Spain as the °s
sential and sole husi* of peace seemed
as far distant as at the outset. The
prospect of such a protraction and con
clusion of the present strife is a con
tingency hardly to be 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
less to Spain than to the Cubans, who i
have so much to lose by the prolonga- j
tion of the s ruggle to seek to bring
about an immediate termination of the
war. As a result of much representa
tion and correspondence to this end I
submitted on the 27th ultimo, through
the United States Minister at Madrid,
propositions to the Spanish govern
ment looking to an armistice until Oct.
1, for the negotiation of peace with the i
good offices of the President. In add!- !
tion i asked the immediate revocation j
of the order of reeoneentration so as to
permit the people to return to their !
farms and the needy to lie relieved ■
with provisions and supplies, the
United States, co-operating with the ;
Spanish authorities so as to afford full ,
relief. The reply of the Spanish Cab- |
inet was received on the night of the {
31st ultimo. It offers, as the means to j
bring about peace in Cuba, to confide t
the preparation thereof to the insular i
parliament, inasmuch as the concur- j
rcnce of that .body would be necessary
to reach a final result, it being, how
ever, understood that the powers re- j
served by the Constitution to the cen
tral government are not lessened or
diminished.
These e'en ants of dancer and ri'tonlerj
alieady pointed out Uavj bem itrik n^lv
Illustrated by a tragic event which has 1
deeply and justly moved the American peo
ple. I 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
J 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 on 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
iittth 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 be
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
i be endured is Hie enforced pacification
lof 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
! pie of Cuba, and to secure in the isl
and the establishment of a stable gov
ernment capable of maintaining order
i and observing its international obliga
! tions. ensuring peace and tranquillity
and the security of its citizens as well
as our own.and to use the military and
naval forces of the United States as may
; be necessary for these purposes. And in
j ti.e interest of humanity, and to aid iu
| preserving the lives of the starving
people of the island, I recommend that
, the distribution of food and supplies
he continued, and that an approprid
| tion out of the public treasury to sup
plement the charity of our citizens,
j The issue is now with Congress. It is
I a solemn responsibility. I have ex
hausted every effort to relieve the in
tolerable condition of affairs which 13
at our doors. Prepared to execute
; every obligation imposed upon me by
! the Constitution and the law, I aw lit
your action.
Yesterday and since the preparation
i of the foregoing message official infor
mation was received by me that tne
latest decree of the Queen Regent of
Spain directs Gen. Blanco, in order to
! prepare and facilitate peace, to pro
•da 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, 18D8.
Coiner, and Carols 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
j rate with the United States forces in case
I of war in an attack upon Havana. Calixto
i Garcia has passed the trocha, and he and
Gomez, with 18,000 troops, are now march
ing westward and toward Havana. The
insurgents are recruiting in all sections,
and from good authority it is ascertained
that Gomez promises to have from 26,000
to 30,000 troops behind Havana to aid in
reducing it.
Mora Officer* for the Navy.
Washington, I). C.—Secretary of the
Navy Long and Assistant Secretary Roose
! veit have prepared a communication asking
Congress for authority to enroll the naval
| militia and the merchant marine in the
regular service. This, if authority is
granted, will mean the immediate increase
| of the navy by 5,000 trained officers and
j men of the militia, and a large number of
j seamen and officers from the merchant
j marine.

LEE WASHINGTON'S HERO.
An Enthusiastic Reception Given to the
Consul-General.
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.
GENbKAL KITZIIUGII f.EK.
The General has not perceptibly changed
in appearance since he was last in 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 President a
to the length of his stay.
RESOLUTIONS DECLARE WAR.
Mandatory Measure* by the Foreign Com
mittee* Will lie 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 affaire
existing for more thaft three years in the
island of Cuba, so near to our borders, is
shocking and a disgrace to Christian civili
zation; that it has culminated iu the de
struction of a United States battleship and
203 of her officers and crow while on a
friendly visit in the harbor of Havana, and
that 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 are 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 ami
Cuban 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 of 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. I'reparations 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 lie is convinced blew up the Maine,
J. P. Gibbons, of London, cabled a signed
statement. He says it was a ground mine
containing 500 pounds of guncotton, and
c~>uld 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 says 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 tbo Maine. <>n or
ders from Washington the Boston and Con
cord were called back from Chcuiulpo 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.
SPUR in EI
TRYING TO GAIN TIME
GENERAL BLANCO ORDERED TO SUS
PEND HOSTILITIES.
The Captain-General is to Prepare a Way
Thla 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 its 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
■uggestion 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.
"1 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 continued
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 preparations 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.
TIIO Cuban Forces Threaten to Make a
I)a*li Upon the City.
Havana, Cuba.—The Cubans are gather
ing iu considerable numbers around Havana
and threaten to make a dash on the capital
at any moment. The siluatiou is so grave
in this respect that General Arolas, Colonel
Pagleln, and a delegation of the Artillery
Department inspected and reinforced the
fortifications 011 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 laud
an army, and the Cubans, joining them,
may lead them to the weakest points on the
laud 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 l'inar
del Bio 4,000 more can come within
twenty-four hours.
Itlff Liners 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 Board, and it
is possible that negotiations looking to
their purchase will be opened shortly. The
largest and best-equipped vessels will not,
however, be sold. Iu the Mediterranean
service are the Fulda, Ems, Werra, Ivaiser
Wilhelm 11. and Adlcr. The American
line steamer Illinois will be inspected short
ly at Philadelphia.
Fleeing from Porto Kico.
St. Thomas. —An outbreak against for

United States Consul P. C. Manila 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 Virginias. The people
have become very turbulent. The military
has not been able to prevent bloodshed.
Riots have occurred in many towns.
Spain'* ••Hornet*" Prepare for .See.
St. Vincent, Cajie 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 are very
enthusiastic. Senor Villami), 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 Bent Rowan Launched.
Seattle, Wash. -The United States tor
pedo boat Rowan, the flrst war vessel built
