PECTED COMMUNICATION
Favors Intervention to Terminate
Hostilities and Asks Discretionary
Authority Opposes Recognition of
Present Cuban Government
The Presidents Message
President McKinley has sent his long
expected message on the Cuban question
to congress The message begins with a
statement that under the precept of the
constitution the president must from time
to time inform congress on the state of the
union it becomes his duty to address that
body in regard to the grave crisis which
has arisen in the relations of the United
States and Spain by reason of the warfare
that for more than three years has raged
in the nighboring island of Cuba
The message asks congress to authorize
the president to take measures to secure
the termination of hostilities in Cuba and
secure the establishment of a stable gov
ernment there and the use of the military
and naval forces of the United States as
may bo necessary for the purpose
The president says the only hope of re
lief from a condition which cannot longer
be endured is enforced pacification of the
island The issue is now with congress
and he awaits its action standing prepared
to carry out every obligation imposed on
him by the constitution
Spains decree for the suspension of hos
tilities is submitted to congress for just
and careful attention with the observa
tion that if the measure attains a success
ful result ITben our aspirations as a
peace loving people will be realized If it
fails it will only be another justification
for our contemplated action
The Maine incident figures prominently
in the message The president argues
that the wreck of the Maine in Havana
harhor shows Spain is notable to gauran
tee security to foreign vessels Spain has
dissavowed any connection with the dis
aster and offered to aubmit to arbitration
allthe differences which may arise from
the affair
The president favors intervention to ter
minate the hostilities and asks discretion
ary authority but opposes recognition of
the present Cuban gavernment

NO HOPeTfOR GLADSTONE
Disease will Eat Into His Brain and
Cause Death
There is little encouragement in the
news from Hawarden The eminent phy
sicians who have in hand the care of the
Grand Old Man look for the end within

be death

Govornment Informed of the De
oree und Its Terms
The Spanish government through its
minister at Washington Senor Polo de
livered an important official document to
the state department Sunday stating that
the armistice which the queen regent of
Spain had commanded Gen Blanco to pro
claim Monday was without condilions
that her majestys government had granted
liheral institutions to the Island of Cuba
which the coming Cuban parliament
would develop recalling the condolence
and sympathy expressed by the regent
and her government on the disaster of the
Maine and the horror this disaster had oc
casioned in Spanish hearts and appealing
to the courtesy and sense of justice of the
United States government to enlighten
public opinion on the attitude of Spain
The note also repeats the offer of the
Spanish government to submit the Maine
question to experts designated by the
maritime powers of the world
This document was the official notifica
tion of the Spanish government to the
United Stales of the granting of an annis
lice and its essential terms Minister
Woodfords dispatch Saturday night had
briefly stated the fact that an armistice
had been agreed upon but it was not com
municated as coming from the Spanish
government The communication cleared
up misapprehension on the most vital point
of Spains concessions namely that the
armistice was without conditions
Senor Qucsada o the junta declared that
the armistice was simply a Spanish trick
designed to create the impression that the
insurgents were unreasonable From his
standpoint nothing short of independence
will satisfy the Cubans It remains to be
seen how far Gen taomez and the insur
gents in the field entertain this view If
they also reject this armistice Spain is not
likely to continue the truce and the resort
to arms will continue
LEE ARRIVES AT KEY WEST
Consul General Left for the National
Capital at Once

Lee at 515 Saturday afternoon as he stood
on the poop of the Fern with a group of
correspondents around him The Evelyn
had already passed Moro Castle when the
Olivette weighed anchor The Bache was
close behind and the Fern was the last of
the line The wharves and boats on both
sides of the narrow entrance to the harbor
were crowded with Spaniards who hissed
and -jeered as each boat passed out
There was one pretty incident On the
Cabanas shore a British steamer was un
loading at her wharf -As the Fern passed
the Union Jack was dipped while the Eng
lish crew gave hearty cheer It is need
less to say that the compliment was re
turned with all possible gusto
All arrived at Key West Sunday in a
state of wreck At about 11 oclock Gen
Lee went ashore and received an answer
from Washington to his request for orders
sent earlier After a brief reception Gen
Lee went on board the Olivette which hail
been kept waiting and sailed for Tampa

Alaskan Disaster Worse Than First
Reports Indicated
Later details received from Alaska in-
crease the horrors of the avalanche in the

and 100 persons were killed

theory but indicates that the knockout
blow on the jaw did all the damage Gar

a preliminary hearing He says he will
never fight again

FEAR AN APACHE UPRISING
White Settlers Alarmed at the Pro
posed Withdrawal of Troops
The proposed withdrawal of United
States troops from Arizona and New Mex
ico has greatly alarmed the big cattle
raisers of that section of the country They
fear an outbreak by the Apaches and have
warned the department at Washington
that the removal of the troops is likely to
lead to a serious Indian Outbreak It is
intimated though that the national guard
of some of the Avestern states may be sent
to Arizona and New Mexico to protect the
cattlemen and the settlers There are
about SS000 Apaches in New Mexico
and they haAre not been any too good
tempered for some time They have a
number of real or fancied wrongs against
the settlers and it is the belief in the
Indian country that the presence of the
troops is the only thing that restrains the
Apaches The Whit Mountain Apaches
are particularly ugly and there have been
a number of small affva s recently betweer
Avhites and Indians Avhich are taken bj
the settlers as an indication of the tempei
of the aborigines

dred Thousand Dollars
Disastrous Fire at Lincoln
The fire at Lincoln on April 1 Avas the
most costly conflagration in the history of
the city a consenralive estimate of the
loss being 200000 of which probably one
half is covered by insurance The origin
of the fire is not knoAvn but it is supposed
to have started from the electric wires in
the basement of the Davis furniture store
On account of the smoke for the first hour
the firemen could not locate the blaze and
worked at random in the basement When
it broke through to the upper floors the
water pressure Aveakened and the flames
crept to the adjoining buildings It AAas
not at first thought that the Richards block
Avas in serious danger as it was taller
than the others and Avas supposed to have
a solid Avail But there was a Aveak point
and the fire went through At the back
part of the Richards Block on the east
side the building was originally one story
higher than the Davis building At this
point there were two windows in the east
Avail Last year the Davis building was
raised one story higher and covered these
windows the openings being stopped up
in a temporary manner It was here that
the flames broke through Had it not
been for this weak point the Richards
Block could have been saved
When the flames seemed to be beyond
control and the Avater pressure gave down
the department at Omaha tvas1 asked to
send aid and a detachment of men were
sent immediately The Lincoln firemen
were Avorn out by their seven hours iight
but not a single accident was recorded
CONDITION OF STATE BANKS
Next Quarterly Statement Will Be
the Best Ever Issued
Secretary P L Hall of the statebank
ing board said the other day Avhen speak
ing of the extraordinary increase in de

that this increase is general alLpyer the

that the next i quarterly statement of the
banks will lie the best in this respect ever
made in the history of tlie state The rea
son for this c he says is because of the in

months Avhen the most borrowings done

posits and a decrease in the amount bor
rowed Speaking of the condition of the
banks throughout the state Dr Hall says
very few of them are making money at
the present time and not many have de
clared dividends for the last year This is
on account of the plentitude of money and
the difficulty in making loans There has
been a general reduction in the rate paid
on deposits and in some cases banks now
refuse to pay anything on deposits and
take the money for safe keeping simply to
accommodate customers
