WASHINGTON . April 7. The house coni-
tnlttec on foreign affairs had Mr. Que.aaa
of the. Cuban Junta before them for an hour
tcJay. Mr. Qucaada aald when he came out
that the committee had enjoined bccrccy
upon lilm.
'Mr. ' Quesada was ashed ao to the Govern
ment of the republic of Cuba , which the
United States la asked to recognize , and
members eay he gave a full and satisfactory
titatcmcnt. Ho described the territory In
Vosiiesslon of the Insurgents , the government
in Puerto Principe and Santiago provinces.
In the former province , ho nald , there were
. 230,000 people who acknowledged allegiance
to the Cuban government. Four hundred
.thousand dollars , ho said , had been collected
In taxes. The capital of the republic , ho eaid ,
had been twice 'dislodged , but It was In work
ing order. Ho explained the functions of ths
covernment. If the United Statea should
intervene without recognizing the indcpcnd-
, nce of the republic , he said , It' would ! bo a
virtual declaration cf wnr ngalnt't ' the In-
eiifgents , as well as the Spaniards.
Mr. Queaat'.tt did not finish his statement.
Ho will appear before me committee again
tomorrow.
Mr. Qucaada denied emphatically that the
Cuban republic had Issued $30,000,000 of
bonds. Only $1,000,003 of thebor.28 , ho
eatd , has ever teen Issued , and leas than
1100,000 o. thcoe had been sold. Mr. Que-
'saila said a declaration of war against Spain
'by tlio United States would be a declara
tion against all Spanish subjects , and If rot
icoupled with the recognition ot Cuba or
jceoKiiltlon Df belligerent rights would In
clude the Uisurgcnts , now rojsarded an sub
jects ot Spain , In auch declarations , which
would be against Spalti and all Its colonies.
Mr. Qursada thought thli feature of the
case needed careful scrutiny.
( ieneral Flaglcr of the Dtiroau of Ord
nance was called to state the condition , of
the fortldcatlMis and the preparations which
had been going on. Ills statement n'.au wan
lu the main satisfactory. Ho said that mucti
Oiad been done. While the situation waa not
what It should bo. ho aald matters would
improvedally. . The ammunition was lr.-
creating dally Up to the lest few daa
ir.ost of this had gccio to the navy , but now
the fortifications were getting thslr share.
The telegraph connections between the fortl-
llcatlons would enable any port when at
tacked to receive reinforcements of men tal
nmmuciltlon from the nearest fortification In
tde shortest possible time. The fortification
ot seacoitU ports was -arranged for and was
proceeding aa rapidly os pcsolhle.

KEY WD3T , April 7. Condltlcoo lie
have undergone a decided chingo within t
1-ast twelve hours , In conecquEace of t
Washington advices as to Consul Genei
Lee's approacblng departure , and Ibo fli
attitude of the administration , from the dl
appointment and chagrin that followed y <
terdayVi'pacific advice : , from Midrld ,
The latest news has aroused the belllcc
spirit to a greater degree lLau ever. Nav
I men believe that a conflict to a question
I o few days only , and the long delay h
! merely Increased the ardor of the men , w
are constantly In readiness for a call
quarters.
The enthuslnnm Is especially rrarked
board the flagship New York. When t
news was conveyed there thU afternoon Ca
tain Sampson maintained his customa
reticence , but the other ofllcenj were cc
fldcat it meant hostilities unless there cbo.t
be a complete surrender oh the part
Spain , which Is now regarded as remote.
The moot significant development la t
orders just received from the Navy deja :
mcnt on the plan of action. These provi
ttiat In the event of a blockade ot Hava
or Matanzas the first line of batllo ncan
the shore would be composed of torpe
boat * and tugs ; the second of cruisers , au
as the Marblehoad , Detroit , Clnc'nnati a
Ncftivllle , and the gunbcat Helera ; and t
third of the battleship ! Indiana and lov
and the flagship New Ycck.
In cnso of an attack on the Americ

force such as the Vlzcaya or the Almlni
Oqucndo , the first two lines wou'-I rti'

While It Is accepted hero as n. foreqa

conclusion that this plan will be exJiit
should necessity arise. It conies fiom 1
department more as a sug9ston ! than
an order , and Captain Sampson has f
authority to vary the plan or Ig'-ioro It
will. The receipt of the suggestions , ho
ever. Is taken as the best Indications ot 1
apprcUch of the long awaltcl conflict.
The Mallory line steamer Conal lias
rived from New York with a cargo o ! p
visions and SOO cares of ammunition for I

WASHINGTON , April 7. The-ro was a scene
of great excitement thU afternoon during
the consideration ot the bill for the Toor-
lzdtlcd of the army. It was caused b >
Mr. Lentz , an Cdlo democrat , who made c
vicious afaault ou the adtnlnistration , charg
ing ttiat the delay ot the prcaldeat's mcs-
wgo was hi the Interest ot stock jobbcra Iti
Wall street.
Mr. Lcntz's speech created a profound sen-
satlon aod wo.s met with an emphatic reply
from General Grcevcnor , now generally re
gal de'd as the aJmlnUtratbn spokesman or
the floor ,
Mr. Grcevcnor not only indignantly denleO
that thefj was justification for the reports ,
but held Mr. Lentz up to scorn for alleging
corrupt motlvca against the president.
Mr. Lcntz disclaimed this , but tbo Irate
friend ot the president gave him no mercy
Ho was thoroughly aroused and laid aboul
him with a veritable bludgeon , charging thai
tde doinscrats were seeking political advan
tage , and paying tils ceepects to John J. Me
Cook and others.
The debate on the army bill today devcl
oped more and more opposition. Mr. Hul
tried to save the bill by trying to ctrlk (
out fiomo of Its provisions , even the threi
battalion formation features , but It was It
the end recnmoilttcd by 160 to 61.
The house adjourned until Monday.
Mr. Lcntz lu the course of his rcmsckf
In opposition to the army bill , declared thai
Uioro would bo no war , "that the poaci
party which was speculating In stocks ant
bonds would prevail. "
Mr. Lsntz referred to the note presentet
by if 10 powers. He read from It the wcrdi
about hope for pence In the pottlemcnt o :
the "existing differences with Spain. "
"Wo have oo differences with Spain , " hi
crlr-d. "U'o have IG6 assassinated Americans
which Spain must account for. "
DISAPPOINTS THE PHOPLB.
"Yesterday , " he said , "wo had this housi
filled , the galleries overflowed and thp capItol -
Itol grounds wcro covered with people , n !
expecting the president's message whlcl
might lead to war. Hut flrjilly In the after
> aon came word that a message bad beer
received from Consul General LeeIn Ila
vana , Indicating that he wanted timeam
the message wus delayed on that account
"Now I don't believe anybody had author'
Ity for the statement from the admlnbtra
tlon , or any other official , that justified th <
rumor that prevailed here yesterday. A tel
egram by the" Associated Press yerterda ;
fcutd that all was'quiet in Hav'ina ' and tha
General Lee to1 Id ! a correspondent that hi
had not been requested to leave. The othci
newspapers have similar dispatches. If the" !
statements arb true there was nothing t <
justify the statement sent to the capita
yesterday. I nay there will be no wlir. "
Continuing he charged that ccngrors wa1
bolng overwhelmed by telegrams , "dlctatet
bv commercial1 grted , " oir of which he de
clared cmana'tei' principally from Wai
sitreot and Lombard , street. "It Is the oh
question of the almighty dollar , " said he
"It Is the fall ol blocks the gentlemen wu
control the qd ninlntrljtlon fear more thai
war. They care nothing for the 266 aosus-
slnatcd Americans who went down In Ha

( Laughter and applause en the democratli

Mr. Lentz proceeded to rqad from a Xev
York paper statements to the effect that de
lav in the message helped stock jobbers cm
tHit they had advance Information. He'reac
from the various stock reports to show tha
stocks went UD all a'.onc the line when thi
news was received that the message wouli
not go to concrea vestcrdav.
GR03VENOII IS IRUITATBD.
Mr. Lcntz's remarks brought Mr. Grosve-no
of Ohio , generally regarded as the a'lni'n
Istratlon's spokesman , to his feet , with ai
Indignant reply , In the- course of which hi
made some startling statements whtcl
caused U great sensation In the house. Hi
said :
The gentleman" , from Ohio ( Mr. Lcntz ) 'iiai
predicated a long speech hero upon .1 state
ment of facts mndo by himself. He declares
claros that no mcssape came from Genera
Leo yesterday ; that It was a fnko report
that It was false , given out for a corrup
purpose by the president to affect the stocl
market. Everv psrt of this statement la
wlf.iout qualification , absolutely false. ( Ap
pl.iusc on the republican side. )
I call upon the distinguished gcntlemai
from Kentuckv ( Mr. Berry ) , n member o
the foreign nffalrs committee , to snj
whether I tell the truth or not , when I sa ;
that such a , dispatch w.is received fron
General Leo and was read by him. Ther
Is the answer.
That U the character of'the sort of ns
B.iults that nre being made on America !
honor and t'no Integrity ot the president
Not only did the dispatch come yesterday
but It came the day beforp. and nppealei
to the piesldont- the United States fo
delay.
I read the telegram and there nro twcnt ;
men on this floor now that rend the tele
gram , bofn democrats ? and republicans. I
was read to the distinguished members o
the foreign committee of the senate am
each nnd every ono of them without qual
Itlcntlon coincided with the policy ot th
president not tof send the message In Vier
at that time.
I nay apviln , on yesterday that a rnos
urgent telegram cnmo from General Iy >
Is General Lee at one of the tickers
( Laughter on the republican Hide ) . Som
men can ascribe corrupt methods to othe
men. How they ever became educated t
the Idea that all men nro corrupt I leav
to your Imagination.
LENTZ DIDN'T KNOW IT.
Mr. Lcntz If you knew this day befor
yesterday why did you let the house on
galleries fill up with people and sit here an
Bay .nothing about Itwhile Wall street wn
speculating uncci it ?
Mr. Grosvertor Wall street was not speci
latlnp on it. That fltory is aa 'falseas tli
other. I say to the- gentleman that tl
president Intandeil to disregard Lee's mei
sign of Tuesday , and had his messap

INSULT TO SPAIN.
I for one have felt that It was a terrlbl
assault upon the honor nnd Integrity c
Spain , what we did yefterduy , for It mu <
bo renumbered that thtro was put upon on
band the cholco of Insult ito Spuln , Ir
folently delivered by the iprrxldent. un In
11.-mill on to the whole world that there wn
danger of murder to American reprcjentr
HVCH In Cuba ; or there was put on th
other sld the danger Itself.
Now , t'lien , 1 will say that over apalns
the statement of the- Insult to Spain tha
was deliberately hurled by the America
people , the administration was compelled t
put the chances of murder ; not that th
government of Spain would tlo It , but th
government was so powerless to malntal
order that t'no ships of a friendly natlo
nrn unsafe In IU ports nnd might bo ovei
whelmed by mobs nnd murder have take
place.
Suppose < the message would have gone t
congress , nnd suppcsn that last night th
blood of fnnt distinguished nnd chlvalrou
man from Virginia had soaked the soil c
Cuba , what would have been the verdlc
of the American people ngnlnst the admlr
Istratlon ? i
If there Is a man In the house so far foi
getful of his dignity na an American ell
Izcn , ot t'no humblest character , to Intlnint
that the president has been guilty of Jiif
gllng n thing like that I will not answer I
Air. Sneaker , I did not suppose that In thi
American congress It was necessary thn
I Bhould make nn explanation in order't
defend the president of the United State
from nn Insinuation like fnat.
I am glad the purpose of the opposltlo
Is now fully and clearly disclosed. I nr
delighted that because of a little change 1

It streiiRthcns the dally augmenting power

two or t'nreo times now , on each succeet
Ing day , pointed out with great delight tha
thtro are differences of opinion on Ilia le
publican sldn of the house.
FIGHTING THE ADMINISTRATION.
I sugpost to the gentleman that when h
opens a recruiting olllce to got voluntoJi
to p.iss under 'nls banner to fight tht > nt
ministration ho bad better make a contrtu

Now , gentlemen , let me tell you nnothc
thing. This war will bo fought under t'n

At 1 o'clock this morning Engineer George
Carr , at the Garnc-au cracker factory , corner
of Twelfth and Jackscu atrco'a , heard some
one moving about In the oilier. Ho himself
was In the bakery underneath rrgutatlng ttio
fire under the OVCCM. CKT stele aoftly up-
jtalrs , and was quite near to the burglar
before the latter knew of his presence. The
olllce M acparatcd from the factory with a
series ot partitions , and the robber nprang
through a narrow window Into the main
room. Carr hurried out of the front door
and around the building , whcro he csuio
face to face wild Kic burglar , who had
crawled through a window on the west. Tbo
watchman raised his revolver and fired wlJe
of the mark. The weapcti was In poor con
dition and the effort to discharge It spoiled
Ilia aim In each of the four following shots.
The firing was heard at tlio police station ,
two blocks away , and a number or olllcura
( lurried to the ticcne.
The burglar had escaped around the south
front of the building and no trace was found
of him. An examination of the olllce showed
that the drawers of several desks had been
drawn out and deposited on the floor. Sample
cases had been wrecked , broken open and
their contents scattered about the olllco In
the Vain effort to find available booty. The
safe had not been tampered with and noth
ing of value was missed from the ofilco fur-
Charles Hess of 311 North Thirteenth
Eticet reported last night that a burglar
had entered his house during his absence
and taken away everythlug of value. Mr.
Ito.ss lost a valuable banjo and several other
articles , and a lodner missed ? 10 In money
and considerable wearing apparel from a
trunk , which had been broken open.

Burglars and thieves an- still occupying
themselves profitably with ttio rcsidr-nts of
the northern jwct of the city. A success
ful burglary , which has .Just come to light ,
waa accomplished a few nlghta ago at the
r.aloon of William McKcr.na at the northeast
corner of Sheunan avenue and Corby fitrcet.
Little money Is usually left overnight In
( fie cash drawer , but the bartender on Kio
day shift hae been In the habit of secreting
a sufficient sum In some convenient p'.aco
to make change with the early mcf.nlng
trade. About $20 was left for this purpcae
by Bartender Swift In a small reccM under
the bar. During the night someone broke
open a rear window with a chisel ami sot
for hltwelf a feaot on the bar. Ho did con
siderable damage to the stock of beer and
experimented with several bottles of choicer
goods on the ttielvcs. His Investigations
led underneath the bar where he lo.-ated the
money. Provided with this and all tfip
bottled goods ho could carry ho made hh
escape thiiough the window. Prom his ap
parent familiarity with the saloon and tl'io
biding place of the money , which \\aa con
sidered a cunning one , the suspicion arose
that the burglar waa some frequenter of tdo
saloon and no report of the matter was made
to the police.
Ono day recently burglars visited the resi
dence of James Black , 3520 Nurth Twcnty-
cevcnth street. The family waa Vlsltliu ;
friends In another portln of the- city , and
the robbers were given all the tlmo neces
sary to plllugc the house In a workmanlike
way. A coiitslderable amount of fillverwaco
waa secured from the sideboard , and other
articles of value were taken. Several dollars
lars had been left in a bureau drawer , which
also fell a prey to the thieves. The value
ot all the property stolen amounted to $80.
The occurrence -was not reported at police
headquarters. v
James Martin of West Seward street com
plained yesterday that thieves had visited
his premlscu during Mcnd-iy night. He had
used hl.i buggy during the day and had
neglected to run It Into the barn on his re
turn home. In N'le morning ho found that
someone had brought a horse Into his yacd
and attaching It to his buggy had driven
away without arousing Uie family.
