Continuing , Lieutenant Sobr.il rcmarkefl :
"Thoughtful Americans also oppose war ,
which Is solely desired by the adventurers
and agitators who compose the Jingo party.
The majority ot the house ot representatives
Is composed of men ot no prestige and of
little education who regard politics as a
trade and who would nave already voted

con-.pased of business men , dreads war with
Spain , which they bellevo would be a verit

the new Spanish squadron had hardly started
for American waters uhcn a panic seized

During the general debate on the post
ofllce bill members eagerly took advantage ot
: ho latitude allowed In committee ot the
whole on the state of the union to discuss
various political questions , and the debate
accordingly covered a wldo range.
Mopsrs. Orlggs ( dem , , Ala. ) and Walker
( rep. . iMas. ) discussed the condition of the
cotton Industry , and Mr. Tawncy ( rep. ,
Minn. ) , a member of the ways and means
committee , replied to the speech of < Mr.
Johnson ( rep. , Ind. ) made some tlmo ago
against the advisability of annexing the
Hawaiian Islands.
At the opening of the session the speaker
recognized Mr. Doutello ( rep. , Me. ) , chair
man ot the naVal committee , to call up the
bill for the relief of the victims end sur
vivors of the Malno disaster. The bill pro
vides for the payment to the legal heirs of
thcso who lost their lives the equivalent of

the reimbursement to the survivors of the
value of personal effects lost cot to exceed
tn amount a tiuni equal to twelve months'

The continuance of allotments to the fam
ilies of the deceased for the three months
was also provided for. The consideration of
the bill required unanimous consent.
MR. LOUD OBJECTS.
Mr. Loud ( rep. , Cal. ) said the bill was Impor
tant. There was a general law which cov
ered cuch cases and a special act should
receive deliberate consideration.
Mr. Doutclla said that the passage of the
bill was demanded by public sentiment all
over the country. He said there , was a
pressing necessity for the relief of the suf
ferers of this terrible disaster. Benefit per
formances were being held and subscriptions
were being raised all over the country for
thn relief of the widows and orphans ot the
victims.
Mr. Loud objected.
"That Is the gentleman's privilege under
the rules , " said Mr. Boutclle.

Loud , "and ask that it bo stricken from the
record. "
It was finally arranged by unanimous con
sent that thaibill should be considered as
soon an the ipoatofllco appropriation bill was

ORIOOS REFEND3 THE SOUTH.
The gcn'eraT"debIate > was" not confined to
the subjects In th6blll. '
Mr. OHggs ( dem. , Go" . ) ' contributed eomo
remarks on the mooted question advanced
by the cotton manufacturers tof the north
nnd'south' to prove' that the advantages of
the latter were not 'due to the longer hours
'of ' labor. He predicted that the south In
the near future would manufacture 'as well
as grow the cotton crop of the world. Ho
warned New England that It must abandon
the Industry. * *
Sir. Grlggg criticised some utterances of
Speaker Reed and Mr. Dlngley and' created
some enthusiasm oa the democratic side.
At the conclusion ot this speech an ar
rangement'was made to close the debate at
3 o'clock tomorrow.
Mr. Walker ( rep. . Mass. ) said It was a
happy day for the republic when n oouthern
member arose ; on the floor and spoke of the
great manufacturing industries or the south
in competition with these of the north. It
was'a day we'had been waiting for iMrico the
Pilgrims lahded. No section would rejoice
more 'that ttie south entered the llsta than
New England.
' "We shall ouffer from southern compe-
'tltlon temporarily , " said ho , "wo may have
"to'reduce wages temporarily ; wo may have
'to ' lose some" departments of our Industry
permanently ; but wo glory In this ( southern
competition because It shows the cement
ing of the common couatry we love so well.
( Applause. ) * '
Mr. Tawncy ( rep. , Minn. ) then got the
floor nnd replied to'a speech by Mr. JoUnRon
( rep. , Ind. ) several weeks ago against the
annexation of the Hawaiian Inlamta. Mr ,
Tawney was -.warmly congratulated when ho

that the southern states were actuated by
selfish motives In proposing the present bill.
Mr. Vest said the most violent opposition

should stand helpless and see Its people
slaughtered and Its commerce crippled or
destroyed lest the reserve rights ot states
nilsht be Invaded or destroyed ? He main
tained that the United States had sovereign
power to act In the matter of quarantine ,
As a further argument in favor of n na
tional quarantine , Mr. Vest said it had been
openly charged that during the yellow fever
epidemic ot last year the embargo of a
quarantine had been placed by some cltlo-s
against others purely for commercial reasons.
Under a national system of quarantine no
such unfair advantage could bo taken.
At the conclusion ol Mr. Vest's remarks
the quarantine bill was laid aside , nnd the
measure providing that United States mar
shal * and district attorneys should continue
to fill their respective offices until the ap
pointment and qualification of their succes
sors was passed.
On motion of Mr. Fairbanks , the eenato
then went Into executive session. At 0:25 :

WASHINGTON , March 15. A statement
which Is believed to reflect correctly the
sentiment of the Spanish cabinet In the
present emergency was made today by a
man Intimately associated with Premier
Sagasta and Senor Morct , minister of the
colonies. It is not decided to glvo It a full
official utterance , but rather an exposition
from ono whoso opportunities for Information
ore complete of the views animating the rul
ing people of Spain. The statement. Is as
follows :
The elections In Cuba are about to occur
nnd the government desires them to bens
ns free as possible. Naturally , however ,
the Insurrection will prevent mnny from
voting nnd It Is felt nlso that renewed In
surgent activity coming nt such a moment
might Jeopardize the successful working
out of the autonomist plnn.
Moreover , the attitude of the United
States In having a squadron so near Cuba
nnd the active war preparations in the
United Statea nro of a nature that might
exert nn Influence against a fair expression
of public will in favor of the autonomist
plnn.
It [ 3 thought that If tbo United States
were sincere In its expressions of friend
ship to Spain , even if It thought autonomy
could not meet every expectation , It should ,
by friendly nets and not words , fchow this
sympathy with the liberal regime organized
In Cuba.
Tbo Washington government made known
Indirectly to the Insurgents that It meant
to , have peace In Cuba and that peace In
Cuba mny be had with autonomlc govern
ment under Spain and the Insuriectlon
would certainly die out.
If later the Weylor party wanted to In
terfere it would bo time then for tbe United
States to take action. The action would
be then Justifiable. Now to make war on
Spain would bo a crime , nnd for that cilme
to civilization nnd humanity the United
Statea would be responsible.
The foregoing statement wu called to the
attention of Senor Polo do Bernabc , the
Spanish minister , and his views on It re
quested , but ho maintained diplomatic re
serve after reading It carefully , and said It
appeared to be given by one thoroughly con-
vcisaut with the situation.
This afternoon the Spanish minister callsJ
at the State department and had a two hours'
conference with Assistant Secretary Day. ' It
was the first call of Senor Polo for purely
busincrs purposes , the former calls having
been these of ceremony. The minister came
\away looking highly gratified , but ho asked
to bo excused from discussing the purpose
of his call. ' '

WASHINGTON. March 15. Nothing of
special importance was developed at today's
cabinet meeting. A large part of the time
was consumed In the general discussion of
the measures being .taken to plaso the navy
on a proper footing for tne defense of the
country. The bills for the purchase of war
ships , where they could be had and at what
prlco was talked over , but without coming
to any definite conclusion on any new propo
sitions.
"Tho general expectation of the members
of tbo cabinet , " said one of them after the
meeting today , "la 'that some report will be
received during the present week from the
court of inquiry examining Into the cause
of the Malno explosion. Yet , " he added , "It
would not bo surprising to us If the report
should bo delayed for a longer time. We
have nothing on which to base this bopo
that I ) know of , only the feeling seems gen
eral that what I have said will bo the case.
There is nothing at band as yet to indi
cate what will bo the nature of the findings
of the court.
"Today our time was occupied In a gen
eral discussion of 'the ' measures under way-
ton the national defense , notably In regard
to the acquisition of now vessels ot war.
Wo are keeping an eye on two ships under
construction of Chill and the Argentine Re
public , but It is not probable wo can get
them. If wo cannot obtain the ships , It is
a source of satisfaction to know that Spain
.will not bo able to purchase them cither. "

ATLANTA , Ga. , March 15. An audience of
10,000 people greeted W. J. Dryan when ho
appeared In the tabernacle last night. They
were thrown into a frenzy ot enthusiasm
when In one of tbo speaker's climaxes ho re
ferred to the readiness of Americana to meet
a foreign too who should attempt to land
upon our shores. Ho said :
"Within the last two weeks wo have had
an Illustration of the unity of the American
pcoplu in front ot a danger which was pos
sible and probable. This danger they have
met as ono man , declaring their readiness
to die In the defense of their country. It
so happcnd that the representative of the
United States at ( Havana wore the con
federate uniform , and yet Fitzbugh Leo has
discharged his duty with such courage , such
prudence , such patriotism , that you cannot
find In all the northland one man who would
suggest his removal. "
Great cheering followed this period.
A great many delegates arrived tonlgbt and
moro are expected tomorrow. The senti
ment is general tbat Mr. Watson will yet
run tor governor , although bo has repeatedly
declined.

"No nation baa ever had so much to say

largo army or against anything that might
lead us Into open conflict. And no nation
had so much to ray In favor of peace and
arbitration. No people are as anxious to
maintain peace at homo and abroad a the
American people. We would not enter Into
any conflict without just provocation or a
righteous cause. We are slow to take up
cur arms , but when the time does comeI
trust wo will not be found slumbering. I
hope there will bo no war. T , as a soldier ,

WASHINGTON , March 15. Infornintton In

that up to the present time Spain has not
consummated the purchase ot the Chilian
ship O'Hlggins. The Indications , it la
stated , eeem to be that this ship also will

The osont In < tlila country of the Thorny-
craft Torpedo Boat company of England ,
Mr , Platt , has submitted to Secretary Long
a proposition for the sale to the government
of designs and complete working drawings
for the magnificent torpedo boat destroyers
built by his firm. Predicting that the department
partment would find It absolutely Impossible
to buy any of these craft In Europe at this
juncture , Mr. Platt has urged the propriety
of having the government hero start Imme
diately a number of our shipbuilding firms
at work In the construction of these boats.
The particular pattern submitted Is that of
'tho torpedo beat destroyer Fame , built for
the British government. This craft , the
typo of these PO strongly desired by the
Navy department just now , Is of more than
thirty knots speed , and 300 tons
burden , largo enough to be thoroughly sea
worthy and carrying sufllclent coal at eco
nomical speed to run 4,000 knots. This ad
vantage Is not possessed by any of our boats
ami Its Importance Is fully Illustrated by the
difficulties confronting the efforts of the
Spaniards to get their torpedo flotilla across
the Atlantic to Cuba.
Cased upon the statements of shipbuild
ers , who have been approached upon the
subject , the department has satisfied Itself
that a number of these boats can bo built
In from six to eight months. We have now
under construction In the United States four
boats rated as thlrty-knottcrs , but with the
exception of the one building at the Union
Iron works , which Is GO per cent advanced
to Completion , very little progress has been
made In their construction.

It will maUo up a crow for the Arcazonas ,
the Brazilian cruiser purchased by the
United States. It In thn present intention
'to have tbo San Francisco convoy thn Ama-

Is not a fixed one yet.

'PRINCETON , N. J. , March 15. Former
President Cleveland was interviewed today
by the Associated Press representative upon
the subject of the Maine affair and the ex
citing relations 'between ' this country and
Spain. Mr , Cleveland a $ , first declined to
express any opinion upon the matter.
"I should only ba ralsunderstooj , " ho told.
"I have been resting hero quietly slnco leav
ing Washington and I do not wish to nay or
do anything which may bo construed In any
way ns a comment upon public affairs. "
Finally Mr. Cleveland , In a firm and em
phatic fashion , volunteered this statement :
"Though I .have no wish to bo Interviewed
you may sMto f9r mo that , fa common with
others , I think ' 'that every patriotic citizen
ought to loyally support the government
during a period of trial like the present , no
matter' what exigencies may arUe.
"I will also say 'that I hope the present
difficulties will be settled without bloodshed.
It Is possible that an honorable way out
will bo found eventually and that there will
bo no war. "
. Mr. Cleveland said ho preferred to reserve
all comment upon the possible and probable
outcome of the Malno affair Until after the
official publication of the report of the board
of Inquiry.
Being asked If ) io would say anything upon
the financial question and the plans and pro
gram of the gold ntandard , or national , demo-
crnts , Mr. Cleveland raid that ho preferred
to rerorvo all comments upon that topic un
til his address before the Iroquols club of
Chicago next' month.
COXSIDUll TUB USB OF CAVALRY

CHICAGO , March 15. A special to the
News Worn Washington says much signifi
cance la' attached to the fact that the first
orddrs to soldiers In the west , excepting to
light artillerymen , went to commanders of
trcops of cavalry. TCven now the orders and
contemplated orders refer to cavalrymen as
much as to Infantrymen.
Heavy coast guns cannot be managed by
horses In fact , for coast protection mounted
troops would scarcely bo considered neces
sary. It considered that the wholesale
movement of mounted troops Is part of the
contemplated plan of quickly Invading Cuba
If hostilities begin.
It is Intimated that the conference of Sen
ator Proctor , Secretary of War Alger and
General Miles wan partly given up to the
subsistence of troops ot cavalry In Cuba.
Whether It would bo necessary , In case of
deporting cavalry to the Island , to forward
forage from the United States would at once
be a serious question.
