an explanation to the effect that at Wasli
I Ington r.o per'on familiar with the situation
" , \ considered the dual action of the s'enato
I and hioue In passing the cuncurrent rero-
L , lutions had other weight than that of an
expression of sympathy with the rebehilon.
PresklenL Cleveland , it was stated. wa
not bound in any manner by the action of
the logislatiye bodies , and would dls'regard
, J the resolutions as though they had not been
voted. In government circle. , , from captain
gneral clown to minor omciais , no one at-
tachea other Importance to the cour'c fol-
iowed by congress than as a manifestaticu
of the political necessities. .
General Weyler and his brilliant young
political secretary , Marquis do Palmarola ,
, arc better informed on the subject of the
I belligerency question In Washington than
are meet or the people who elect represents-
tivoc to congress in the United States. They
have been Instructed on the Inner side of the
whole question and are familiar with the
main springs which have Influenced the action -
tion of nearly every member of the senate.
Much of this astonishing familiarity is due
I
to minute information sent from the Spanish
legation at Washington , vhichs appears to
have mastered every point , even of tim most
I trthlng consequence.
' The government hero had dLcounted the
house vote , indeed. The delay in reaching
a vote has given rib's to surprise. Marqus !
do Palmarola is in close retirement , owing
to family bereaynent. lie said to me the
other dayVe : have great confidence in
, President Cleveland. We also think that
J our minister at Washington is a clover man.
During the Inst conversation I had vth
, General Weyler he spoke of Preskient Cleveland -
land as above the clamor of ( actions , Ho
expected that the house would agree with
the sama and he believed that such action
had no binding effect on thu executive. It
is a source of surprise to Spaniards that
such a wide gulf of iudependenc exst between -
tween the legislature and the executive. "
, Iq consequence gf careful explanations by
the local press it is scarcely robabhe that
there wilt be any excitement among the
fliafros of the people when the iiows reaches
them. which viil not be for several daysyet ,
as flows disseminates very slowly iscre.
Cuban sympathizers have lately understood
the true condition of affairs in Washington
and are much ( hisappointel thereby , When
the recent war talk vas at its highest pitch

they left a placard stating that he was
hanged because ho obeyed the orders of his
employer , itatel do Castro. The iunbeat Al-
varatlo has had an engagement with a band
of insurgents at Maravi in Santiago province ,
The action of the Spanish government in
s'ending a diplomatic secretary to old the
governor general is because of a number of
purely diplomatic cases that. come before
him. Coasul General Williams has diplo-
matio functions. to a certain extent , and as
several questions have been delayed nt the
palace merely becauee of lack of time to give
thorn attention , General Weyler requested
that a trained secretary be sent over to re-
hievo hint of details. ' . The Dygert was do-
delayed in reaching Weyler on this account.
Dygort will ho released from prison as soon
as the jutlgo of instruction at Guinea has
completed details. The judge r&tiested Dy-
gert to sign a waiver of ony claim against
( ho government , but refused. This may lead
to his attention on another ground tItan the

going outhido of the line In time ot war

Antonio Macco and Pandora are still In

Vestern railway between Vinalez and San

miles from the military line extending acrc s
"
the icland from Mariel to Ensenado. to-

small forts cn roads leading from the town

forts. When the trick was discovered a
heavy fire was opened on them , the inhabitants -

Several shops were broken open , but
the rebels ( lid not have an opportunity to

The next morning , when the garrison made
reconnoisance , they discovered sixty moro
dead. Ilandera carried away a large number
of wounded. The Spanish loss was very
small because they fought under cover of
the sorts and the parish church.
Calixto Garca is known to be in Santiago

action. It is whispered in Cuban cirche.q that

WAShINGTON , April 7.-Tho senate concurrent -

were delivered to I'rlvato Secretary Thurber
this morning by Mr. Piatt , one of the executive -
ecutivo clerks of the senate. Later in the
day they v1li bo sent to the State depart.
ment , as the law requires that such resolutions -
tions shall bo printed In the book of laws
annually published by the department ,
Secretary Obey called early at the white
hiouie , and remained in close consultatlors
withs the president , undeterred by' the liotico
that had been sent to the otbpr members to
the effect that there would be no cabinet
meeting today. There is reason to believe
that the meeting would have been postponed
regardless of the appearance of the meastca
among ( ho children at ( lie white house , in
order to tfford the president an opportunity
for private deliberation with the chief mrn-
her of his cabinet , for there was a story current -
rent , and It is believed rchl founded , to the
effect that the two were engaged In the
preparation of a special message to congress.
Of cour.'e. this was itninediately assubned
to reiato to the Cuban situation , and to bo
art exposition by ( lie president of the actual
state of affairs on the island 09 revealed to
the reports of ( lie United States consular
officers and other trusted sources of Infer-
matlon , There i3 a resolution before the
president , passed at the Instance of Senator
Hoar of Maseachusetta , calling for this in-
formstion.
It Is reasoned that the president in trans.-
inltting the information asked niay feel It
his duty , In view of the overwhelming majority -
jority by which the Cuban concurrent resolutions -
olutions pasd both branchea of congress ,
to conic out with a plain statement of the
reasons that influence him in preserving
unmoved the position he has as'aumed toward
( Ito insurrection in Cuba , showing from the
best obtainable information that hasreached
him that regardless of ( lie sympathy ho may
feel personally for the insurgents , lie is ab-
siolutely bound by the facts as ho sees them ,
by precodcnt and the dictates of International
iav , to persist in his attitude.
This view of the matter , of course , applIes
only so long as the president is loft free
to decIde upon the course to be followed
by tIme government , since it may b that ho
would take an entirely different vlcvjt , the
matter If congress should seqd to him a joiqt
resolution embodying the features , of these
concurrent resolutions and assumed by o
doing ( ho legislative branch had taken the
direction of the mattem out of his hands.
While it Is , thought likely the president
may outiino lila views to congress iii transmitting -
mitting the Cuban Information requested ,
it Is not certain that this mesoage will ho
more thaa a formal letter of transmittal.
There are good reasons why the consulate
reports hioiihl be handled very guardedly ,
since our consuls have to continue resident
in Cuba and the work on which the president -
dent Is believed to be engaged may be In
the nature of a statement of facts or sum-
imiary of time main features of the confidential
consular rcports.
Representative McCreary of Kentucky ,
who was chairman of the foreign affairs coin-
mnittee of time house in the Fifty-second and
Fifty-third congresses , speaking today to an
Associated prerm , representative as to the
probable action of the president on time cuban
resolutions , said : 'Mr. Cleveland throughout -
out his public career has shown a dieposi-
( ion to Investigate for himself all important
public questions. While I have no doubt he
will show great respect for the expression
of the houi'a and the enato in favorer the
Cuban insurgents as bellIgerents-after all
that was simply an expression-it is true , ' by
an overwhelming majority of the roprcaant-
atives of the people , but the action and re-
spons'bllty ' are for him. I have no doubt
that lie has put himself in a positioh to ee-
cure accurate intormatlon as to time true
condition of affairs. He hma ample means at
his disposal for such an investigation , and
that such an investigation vilI 'be made or
is now in progreso , I entertain no sort of
doubt. Upon its result , taken In connection
vIthi ( ho expressed opinion of congresu , lie
vili act. "
Asked as to whether ho believed that Mr.
Cleveland had sent an agent to Cuba , Mr.
McCrcary declined to commit himself , When
shown a report to this effect he vaid : "That
may be simply a guesa ; no authority Is given ,
and ouch a mission would of course be se-
cret. "

LONDON , April 7.-TIme Globe this after-

ianger of the situation is that SpanLehi pride
will never surrender SpaIn's most valuable
colony until beaten. And should there be a
repetition of the popular demcnatrations
against time UnIted States , American passion
might flame up in an ugly manner and
compel Presdent ! Cleveland to demand eatis-
faction. This would almost inevitably to-
suit in war and , while the Unttei Statea
would of course crush Span , American trade ,
already very delicate , would ho very largely
wrecked , " In concluson , the Globe CXItCSSOS

concurrent resolutions.
The St. James Gazette says : "Congrese

pleasant timIngs said of me In eommnoction
with the Impimlist nomination for time luresi-
dency , in your meceilt immterview published In
tIme press disliatcimvs , for which I'i'mmse flC-
cept my thnmukm. Time favorable imm'tioii of

and oxpemlencme to fill ( lie exalted position ,
pocsesses double value and is truly grati-
fylmmg.
I have not been tmnconsciotms , for severah
momiths , timat a strong sentiment existed in
the populist lartY throughout time imatiomi
favorable to my nomination , and 1 svlll not
disguise train you that it bias given inc
much pleasure to know that my services In
tIme United States. r'enate have been instrumental -
mental in prompting the use of my name
in that connection. I have also observeti
quite an extensive discussion of time matter
lii tIme publIc pm'es' , and 1 have been the recipient -
cipient of humulreds of letters askini mc' if
I would be a candidate for the nomination ,
or accept it if tendered me.
P'mmlly realizing that ordinarily it is to be
considered indelicate to either accept or
tlcclino a nomination that has not been ten-
dert1 , still I feel that the time has come
when , in the interest of the party , I should
speak openly and frankly , as I desire above
all things to promote tIme interest of time
pcpulist party , and by that means ( her 1mm-
terest of my Country. Deeply conscious that
it would be is distinguished homier to be ( hi ,
etandard lmeamcr of a gmeat political party ,
founded cn the principles of eternal justice
and right , a narty. that must , in my judgment -
ment , soon sucCe'tl to the administration of
our national government , I nevertheless
deem it unwise tc pernmit my name to be
used as a candidate.
I think every true citizen should , at this
time. corsuit the interests of time country
anti not his own personal desire. I do not
feel that my experience ha been such as
to warrant me In being a candidate for the
nomimmation , or In accepting it if it shotmitl
be tendered me. There arc many older anti
abler men , in tIme PartY than I am , highly
well qualified to melee the race , and I feel
confident that I can tb the caUse greater
good by remaining whore I am , lIghting in
the ranks for , success , than by accepting
the mmcmlnatloxi If it should b tendered.
The welfare of time party , and , timerefore ,
the welfare of the country.is to be con-
suited at ell titnes ; priqeiples count for
'cverythiing'isbd muon f nothing , 1n sour
strtmggle.
Permit me also to say iii this connectioim
that.tbiere areperronal reaons why I simould
not be a candidate , among which Is the
jmpsrtant fact that I have a fmmmliy of
children whose education must be hooked
after nt timis lime , and who need my per-
sonai supirvislon more now than they. have
ever , needEd it before , or will over need it
again , and 'I must not permit myself to imperil -
peril their' Interests for my own promotion.
Profoundly grateful to In ) ' fellow citizens
of the state and nation for the flattering
mention of my name in connection withi the
highest oitlcu on earth , I sincerely trust
that hereafter attention will not be centered -
tered on me. but on some gentleman better
tjuaflfled to discimarge the duties or the position -
tion In th' event at an election , and that
wiilorn vIll ci'.aractemize the formation of our
platform and . the nomination we may
make. . I have the honor to hue , very trimly ,
