POSTSCRIPT.
Extra No A
Erery thing 'and Everybody
Seems" to Linger
For the "Man of the Hour,"
-Fitzhugh Lee,
Who Seems Suddenly to Tower
Into Prominence.
SENATE COMMITTEE
Will Belay Its Action Until
General Lee Arrives.
Lee Receives an Ovation All
Along the Route
SUCH AS A PRESIDENT
Of the United States Might Be
Proud Of.
"If I Had a Good Crowd Behind
Me,
"I Might Turn Back to Hava

LEE AT WASHINGTON.
Arrives at Capital This After
noonCheered in Streets.
Washington, April 12. Gen. Fitzhugh
Lee arrived in Washington at 2:30
o'clock, and, entering a closed carriage,
was driven at once up the avenue, a
hundred or more bicyclists accompany
ing the carriage.
General Lee was driven at once to the
state department, presumably to report
his arrival and receive any Instructions
it might have.
Word had gone through the depart
ment that he was due to arrive and the
corridors in front of the secretary's door
were jammed with people. As Gen. Lee
stepped from the elevator in front of
the secretary's door, the crowd gave
. three rousing cheers, which rang all
through the building. Gen. Lee bowed
his recognition to the crowd and was
immediately ushered into, the secreta
ry's room.
Gen. Lee remained in the building
only a few minutes quickly departing,
accompanied by Secretary Sherman and
Assistant Secretary Day for the White
House. The state department at once
telephoned the senate to arrange for
Gen. Lee's appearance before the for
eign relations committee.
The ovation was repeated as Lee
went over from the state department to
the White House. A mounted bicycle
boy had preceded the carriage carrying
a large Cuban flag and this served to
stimulate the enthusiasm displayed
along the drive to the White House por
tico. At the railroad station when General
Lee arrived, the crowd was immense
and exceedingly enthusiastic.
Washington, April 12. The senate
committee on foreign relations resumed
Its sitting this morning, all ihe mem
bers being present except Mr. Daniel.
The committee immediately took up the
task before it of formulating a resolu
tion defining its course to be pursued
in the present complication with Spain.
Many mjnor differences were developed
but they were not of such a character
as to dispel hope of securing a final
agreement.
The committee is hopeful of being
able to report today but the report may
be delayed so as to afford an opportun
ity to hear Gen. Lee.
Rocky Mountain, N. C, April 12.
The Lee flying special reached Rocky
Mountain, N. C, at 7:45 this morning,
having on board Consul General Fitz
hugh Lee, Vice Consul General Springer
and Consul Walter Barker, of Sagua
La Grande, accompanied by H. G. Mc
Lendon of Georgia and Leon J. Canova,
of Tampa, Fla., representing the Plant
system. Gen. Lee was still asleep. The
party expect to arrive in Washington
at 2 o'clock this afternoon.

"They say that I'm a Yankee:
I have heard it many times,
I have seen it in their papers.
It is in their songs and rhymes;
I'm the Yankee consul general.
I'm the Yankee who's come down
To steal the brightest Jewel
From the old Castilian crown.
"They say that I'm a Yankee:
If I'd heard it in my youth
I might perhaps have questioned
Its everlasting truth:
But now, I gl'ory in it:
It's the landmark of my birth,
And I'd rather be a Yankee
Than anything on earth.
at 8 o'clock in time to catch the first
glimpse of Virginia soil. He rested
well during the night and when he came
out of his room, he said:
"I feel like a different man. If I only
had a good crowd behind me I could
turn back for Havana."
Petersburg, Va., April 12. By urgent
request a 20-minute stop will be made
by the Lee special at Richmond, where
a great demonstration is likely. It is
expected that Consul General Lee will
be summoned promptly before the com
mittees of congress in charge of foreign
affairs. The information he will give
will be of a very grave character, espec
ially in connection with the destruction
of the Maine.
Richmond, April 12. Consul General
Fitzhugh Lee arrived here at 11 o'clock
this morning in a special train over
the Atlantic coast line. The train re
mained at the depot about ten minutes.
There were at least 10,000 people pres
ent, including the governor and staff,
and the Richmond light infantry blues.
The governor welcomed the consul
general who made a brief speech. He
said the time for talk was over and
that the time for action had come;
The howitzers fired a salute on the
arrival of the train. 'The wildest en
thusiasm prevailed.
Gen. Lee in his speech to the crowd
to whom he was introduced by Gover
nor Tyler, said:
"I cannot talk to you now, in fact this
is not the time to talk, but the time
for action (cheers). What are you yell
ing about? Do you want to fight?" A
protracted outburst followed signifying
willingness for the wildly gesticulating
crowd. The general's wife, son and
daughter accompany him to Washing
ton. LEE AT SAVANNAH.
5,000 People Turn Out to Welcome
Home the General.
Savannah, Ga., April 12. At Savan
nah more than five thousand persons
were at the station to see General Lee
when the train came in. The crowd was
enthusiastic and a short speech was
made by the general, being frequently
applauded. As the train rolled into the
station a platoon of the Chatam artil
lery, of which General Lee is an hon
orary member, began firing a major
general's salute of 13 guns. Gen. Lee
and the members of his party were
completely tired out by their long trip.
Orders were given here by the trans
portation department of the Plant sys
tem for operators north of this city to
withhold all information as to the
whereabouts of the train in order to
prevent the party being disturbed. The
party retired immediately after leaving
Savannah.
WHAT STKINLEY MEANT.
A Senator Says "Stable Government"
Meant Independence.
Washington, April 12. A senator
close to the president says that the
greatest criticism upon the message of
the president is that it did not say any
thing about independence. He refers
to these words near the end of the mes
sage: "And to secure in the island the
establishment of a stable government,
capable of maintaining order and ob
serving its international obligations."
The senator added that a "stable gov
ernment" capable of observing its in
ternational obligations must be inde
pendent. If it was not an independent
government, it would have no interna
tional obligations. The same senator
"They say that Tm a Yankee:
And I'm glad to say I am;
A Yankee of the Yankees,
And the man ain't worth a well,
Who wouldn't be a Yankee
When the banner is unfurled
That has made the Yankee nation
The greatest in the world?
"They say that I'm a Yankee;
Virginians, can it be
That history will mention
The Yankee. Fitzhugh Lee?
I hope so: and, Virginians,
Let all of us give thanks
That now dear ol' Virginny
Is loaded full of Yanks."
W. J. Lampton, in New York Sun.
insisted that this part of the message
meant independence, but the president
was writing a document that meant
history and precedent and he had to
confine himself to diplomatic language.
BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
Troops Called Out to Subdue
the People of Madrid.
Madrid, April 12. Numerous groups
in the Puerta Del Sol and in front of
the offices of the minister of the inter
ior last evening raised the cry "Vive
Espana."
The gendarmes and the police scat
tered them and occupied the square,
but the groups quickly reformed sev
eral times, until finally the gendarmes
charged the crowd. Many were injured
or arrested.
Senor Aguilera, the civil governor,
called out the civil guard to clear the
street but several bodies continued par
ading the thoroughfares in the center
of the city.
Throughout the evening demonstra
tions continued in various quarters.
The police and gendarmes repeatedly
dispersed large crowds and there were
several arrests in the lower quarters
Quiet was finally restored but the
gendarmes are patrolling the streets
and other precautions are maintained.
TO BE SO WAR.
Washington, D. C, April 12. One of
the president's callers after leaving the
White House today, said that the pres
ident has a feeling of greater confidence
that there will be some satisfactory set
tlement of the Cuban trouble without
resort to open hostilities. He believes,
this gentleman said, in the sincerity of
the Spanish government in its position
now taken.looking to reforming the con
dition of affairs in Cuba, and that such
results may be achieved by steps to be
taken by Spain as to avert what he has
at times believed to be inevitable.
PLAINJLANGUAGE.
Senate Committee Will Report
in Favor of Driving
Spain Out.
Washington, April 12. The senate
foreign relations committee's conclusion
so far as a conclusion has been reached,
is to report all the Foraker resolutions
except the second, together with a
strong preamble reciting the Maine dis
aster as cause for deep resentment on
the part of this government. Unless
the committee changes its decision the
following, in addition to the preamble
are the resolutions which will be report
ed by the committee:
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 Unit
ed 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 does
hereby demand that she at once withdraw
her land and naval forces from Cuba and
Cuban waters.
Third That the president of the United
States is hereby authorized, empowered
and directed to use, if necessary.the entire
land and naval force of the United States
to carry these resolutions into effect.

The House Committee Takes
Action This Afternoon.
DECLARE FOR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION
. (
; r
In Cuba With the Army and Navy of the
United States
Ringing Resolution Introduced Which Does
Not Shrink From Responsibility
This Action of the House, in
Senate, is Tantamount
Washington, April 12. 4 P. M. Re
publicans of the house foreign affairs
committee and steering committee of
the house Republicans have decided on
a resolution for immediate intervention,
backed by the army and navy.
Washington, -April 12. The steering
committee of the Republican Cuban
sympathizers appeared before the house
committee on foreign affairs by request
at 3 o'clock this afternoon. They were
In conference for hail an hour, the Re
publican members of-the committee
finally agreeing on a resolution for im
mediate intervention, backed by the full
army and navy forces, to secure the
formation of a free and independent
form of government in Cuba.
Agreement was reached at first on a
resolution reading for "free govern
ment," but Representative William Al
den Smith held out for the addition of
"and independent," to which the Re
publican majority finally agreed.
Later the committee went into ex
ecutive session to consider the resolu
tion to be reported.
Washington, April 12. Representa
tive William Alden Smith of Michigan,
a member of the foreign affairs commit
tee of the house, today introduced a
resolution. The whereas consists almost
entirely of quotations from the presi
dent's message and constitutes a scath
ing indictment of Spain. It holds Spain
"negligently and criminally responsible"
for the blowing up of the Maine and
then proceeds:
"Whereas, The freedom of Cuba from
Spanish rule is absolutely essential for
permanent peace in the island; there
fore, "Resolved, That the president Is here
by directed to intervene at once to se
cure peace and order in Cuba.
"Resolved, That upon the restoration
of peace and good order, the people of
Cuba shall be permitted to establish
their own government independent in
character and Republican in form.
"Resolved, That the president is here
by authorized and empowered to use
the land and naval force to accomplish
the purposes herein set forth and that
congress will support him by all nec
essary legislation.
Washington, April 12. In the sen
ate this afternoon Mr. Lindsay (Ky.)
offered the following joint resolution
and asked that it be laid on the table:
First That the contemplated military
operations against the Spanish armies
on the island of Cuba should be car
ried on in concert with the military for
ces under the command of Gen. Max
imo Gomez; such concert to be secured
through arrangements between this
government and the Cuban revolution
ary authorities, recognized by said
Gomez, and that any offer looking to
such arrangements that my be made by
those authorities should be favorably
considered, provided it shall concede to
the commanding officer of the United
States the right to control and direct
all military operations. ,
Second That all such military opera
tions should be carried on to the end
that independence of the Cuban people
may be secured.
Wilson (Wn.) introduced the follow
ing joint resolution:
Whereas, The conditions which for
three years past have prevailed and are
now prevailing in the island of Cuba,
have become intolerable to the people
of the United States; therefore be it
Resolved. That the president of the
United States is empowered and direct
ed to take at once such steps as may
be necessary to put an end to hostili
ties in the island of Cuba and to secure
to the inhabitants of that island a sta
ble and independent republican form of
government and the president of the
United States is empowered and direct
ed to use if necessary the land and nav
al forces of the United States to make
this Joint resolution effective.
At Mr. Wilson's request the -resolution
was referred to the' foreign rela
tions committee. Following this came
Which it Will Be Joined by the
to the Declaration of War.
a resolution from Mr. Allen of Nebras-
ka, declaring that a state of war exist
ed between the United States and Spain.
It was as follows:
"That a state of war exists between
the United' States of America and the
kingdom of Spain, and with political ex
istence and national independence of
the republic of Cuba, now and for some
time maintained by force of arms, is
hereby recognized. The president is
empowered and directed to take at once
such effectual steps as may be necessa
ry to secure an immediate termination
of hostilities In Cuba and an independ
ent and stable government by the peo
ple thereof and to enable him to carry
out the purpose of this resolution he is
hereby empowered and directed to use
the land and naval forces of the Uni
ted States."
The resolution went over under the
rules.
Mr. Pascoe, (Fla.), presented a joint
resolution directing the president to use
not to exceed $5,000 of the fund apero
priated. by congress to relieve Ameri
can citizens in Cuba, and others who
have recently landed in Florida from
Cuba, He explained that while the
citizens of Florida were doing all in
their power to assist the refugees, their
means were limited. The resolution
was agreed to.
Mr. Pettus (Ala.), presented a legal ar
gument upon the authority of congress
and the president under the constitu
tion in declaring and prosecuting a war.
Congress alone, he said, has power to
declare war and to limit it, but has no
authority to delegate this power to the
president or any other officer. If war
is to be waged congress must order
what shall be the nature of the war de
clared and as commander in chief of
the army and navy the president must
carry on the war as directed by con
gress and in no other way. "Tet what
are we advised to do?" inquired Mr.
Pettus. "If you boil the words down
to their true meaning, it is evident that
we are advised to delegate to the pres
ident the power to intervene and if he
sees fit without any declaration of war
at all.
"War made in such a manner with
out a declaration of congress, would be
a disgrace to the nation."
When M. Pettus had concluded, Mr.
Allen endeavored to secure the passage
of a bill just received from the house.
To this Mr. Mason (111.), who had an
nounced his speech on the Cuban situ
ation objected.
"I had hoped," suggested Mi;. Allen,
that the senator would yield. Hostili
ties will not begin today."
"I am not so sure of that," retorted
Mr. Mason, "as the senator from Ne
braska seems to be."
Mr. Lindsay (Ky.) gave notice that he
would tomorrow address the senate
upon his resolution.
Mr. Mason then proceeded with his
speech. He had prepared it carefully
and confined himself closely to his
manuscript. His speech was a legal
argument in favor of the recognition by
this government of the independence of
Cuba republic. Mr. Mason was accord
ed the closest attention by senators.
SPAIN MUST FIGHT.
Either With Americans or With
Don Carlos.
London, April 12. According to a
special dispatch from Venice, Don Car
los, the pretender to the Spanish throne,
has declared his intention to "hold aloof
from hostile manifestations as long as
the Spanish government upholds the
honor of the nation" otherwise he will
"take the steps he deems necessary to
support the dignity of the country.-"
PLANNING DEFENSE.
Officials at Mantanzas Preparing for
. "War.
Havana, April 12. A dispatch from
Matanzas announces that Xr. Lecuna,
a prominent resident of that place, has
been arrested and imprisoned en the
charge of conspiring against the gov
ernment. ,
The governor of Matanzas is presid
ing at the meetings of the junta of de
fense of the port and the city, which
body has been entrusted with the work
of planning and carrying out the de
fense of Matanzas in case of war with
the United States. An Important con
ference on the subject of hostilities has
been held between Ceballos and Gen.
Molin.
LEE WILLPROVE IT.
That the Maine Was Blown Up
and the Fern Nearly So.
Chicago, April 12. The News' Wash
ington special says the Information
comes from confidential and reliable au
thority that Gen. Lee will not only pre
sent evidence to the senate foreign re
lations committee showing conclusively
that the Maine was destroyed by Span
ish officials, but evidence will be pre
sented showing that when the Mont
gomery went to Havana to relieve the
Fern, which was used to convey food
to the reconcentrados, she was placed
over a mine which was discovered by a
diver from the Montgomery who was
sent down to examine the bottom. The
diver cut the wires attached to the
mines.
FIXED WITH GOMEZ.
He is Preparing to March on
Havana With 30,000 Men.
Jacksonville, Fla., April 12. The Cu
ban junta here has received a very im
portant letter from Gen. Gomez via Key
West.
While its contents have been guarded
very carefully and the main portion
sent to the New York junta's office, yet
it Is ascertained that it brings news
that Gomez is preparing to co-operate
with the United States forces in case
of war in an attack upon Havana.
Calixto Garcia has passed the trocha
and he and Gomez, with some 18,000
troops, are now marching westward and
toward Havana. The insurgents are re
cruiting in all sections and from good
authority it is ascertained that Gomez
promised to have from 25,000 to 30,000
troops behind Havana to aid in reduc
ing it.
The letter added that the Spanish offi
cers there were greatly worried over the
news of Gomez's approach and that
troops had been called into Havana and
that much work was being done in
throwing up new earthworks in the rear
of the city and otherwise strengthening
the forts in that section.
The insurgents, so the dispatch said,
hailed with joy the intervention of the
United States, and their ranks are be
ing rapidly increased daily. Gomez and
the United States are now in close touch
and the news of a declaration of war
will be carried to him by means of pri
vate signals without loss of time, so
that he could move with knowledge of
what the United States is doing. A
campaign is all arranged, according to
this authority.
M'KINLEY'S WAX.
He Would First Ask Spain to Get
Out
New York, April 12. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Should the president be clothed with
authority to use the military and naval
forces to intervene solely for the pur
pose of establishing peace and order in
Cuba, he proposes to exercise it first by
transmitting to Spain a copy of the res
olution, with the statement that his ob
ligations require him to carry out the
will of congress and a notification that
he will do so at once, unless Spain
withdraws from the island.
In other words, the president will de
liver an ultimatum to Spain before
making a naval demonstration, in the
hope that Spain may at the last mo
ment consent to a concession of the
independence of the people of the is
land, upon an indemnity, or upon some
other basis which may be satisfactory
to all parties involved. If war should
then come whether "holy" or "unholy"
he will feel that the responsibility is on
Spain.
The one significant sign of peace Is
that diplomatic relations between the
United States and Spain have not been
severed as a result of the message to
congress. It is true that all of our
consuls have been called out of Cuba
and this would indicate a preliminary
sign of war; but our minister is still at
Madrid and Spain's representative is
still here.
QUAY'S HOT TALK.
No Time for Negotiation With Pope
Prelate or Presbyter, He Says.
Washington, April 12. Scarcely had the
senate been called to order yesterday
when Mr. Quay precipitated the Cuban
question by presenting some petitions and
making startling comments on them. He
took the strongest ground for immediate
and Impetuous action.
"The people of the United States, in my
judgment," said he, "are pretty nearly
unanimous that the time for negotiation
upon the Cuban question is past. The
present is a case for neither pope, prelate
nor presbyter.
"They believe that further negotiations
mean further time for the concentration
of the Spanish naval forces and for gen
eral Spanish preparations for war.
"They know that a Spanish torpedo flo
tilla is en route for our shores, whose
mission is hostile, whose only interest can
be to destrov our vessels as the Maine was
destroyed and slay our sailors as the sail
ors of the Maine were" slain.
"They know that on yesterday two Spam
ish war vessels-sailed westward and will
be with us in ten days. They believe
bloodshed will be averted or diminished
by prompt action of the government, not
by declaring war, but by making war in
self-defense before Spain can secure fur
ther naval or military advantage, and,
perhaps without reason, that delay is
sought or urged by those interested in the
Spanish success or by those who would
market the national honor and make mer
chandise of the blood and bones of the
dead of the Maine; that intervention
should be armed, immediate and impetu
ous: that not merely a stable, but a re
publican form of government should be
given the Cubans; that the Spaniards
should go out of Cuba.
"They should stand not upon the order
of their going, but go at once.

THOUGHT IT A FAKE
That Curtis Had Strong Rail
road Support.
Cy leland Pretends He is Sot
Fighting Curtis.
Horton, Kan., April 12. At the close
of the eighth ballot the convention ad
journed until 8 o'clock this evening.
The vote is:
Curtis 25
Broderick 26
Bailey 27
Walker n
The arrival of M. A. Low today set
the congressional convention delegates
agog. When the State Journal's an
nouncement of Mr. Low's determination
to enter the fight as a manipulator, was
read among the delegates last night.
It produced a sensation. Leland's friends
denied that Mr. Low would take a hand
in the fight, but the doubt was dispelled
when Mr. Low, himself, arrived today.
It is expected that his influence will
materially change the situation.
The platform of the convention will
endorse the president and the national
administration and will especially com
mend McKinley for his message on the
Cuban question. Every delegate here
has been very enthusiastic in his praise
of the president.
During a conference for a discussion
of the platform this morning. Judge
Horton asked Cy Leland if the conven
tion should declare for war.
"No," replied Leland emphatically.
"War will be declared before this con
vention ends."
"Then," continued Leland, "I will in
troduce a resolution, offering the mem
bers of the convention and the candi
dates as volunteers for the fight with
Spain."
Organization of convention, with J.
F. Tufts of Atchison, chairman, has
been effected, and the final touches add
ed to the preparations for the contest.
Horton is crowded with delegates and
visitors. The hotels are filled and the
cot, to which the average Kansas poli
tician is by no means a stranger, occu
pies its accustomed place in the parlors
and halls thereof. The private house3
have come to the rescue and several of
the 60 delegates who came Monday were
able to avoid the necessity of sleeping
in a chair in the hotel lobby or walking
the streets, through the kindness of cit
izens. The remainder of the 90 dele
gates came today and the battle began
in earnest.
The Shawnee delegation is the only
one which has a steering committee.
A. B. Quinton is the chairman. The
members are A. K. Rodgers, J.A. Trout
man, Arthur Capper and Dave Mul
vane. This committee was selected ear
ly Monday morning and went to work
at once. The first thing considered was
the selection of a chairman for the con
vention. Capt. J. F. Tufts of Atchison was sug
gested by the Topekans ancL the steer
irg committee called on the other can
didates, receiving assurances of a uni
ted support for him. This averted a
fight in the organization of the con
vention, especially when it was agreed
to make Mr. Tufts, the temporary
as well as permanent chairman.
There was considerable speculation
when it was reported that Cyrus Lelaiii
had announced that Charlie Curtis
"should not be nominated." The Shaw
nee delegation was prepared for this
and sent out the steering committee to
tell Mr. Leland that Topeka was not
fighting him and offered as evidence
the fact that J. K. Hudson and S. T.
Howe, Leland's most bitter enemies,
who were regularly elected delegates,
had been "induced" to stay at home.
Mr. Leland then gravely announced
that he had no second choice for con
gressman. .
"I am for Mr. Bailey until the finish,
he said.
The Bailey men have appeared wltii
badges of yellow ribbon, bearing a cut
of their candidate. The Bailey camp
has been dubbed that of the "Wild
Nemahas." Mr. Curtis' friends are
known as the "Shawnees." Mr. Beck
of Holton, leads the "Pottawatomies
who are for Mr. Broderick. J. M. Chis
ham heads the Atchison crowd which
has been termed the "Mavericks,' be
cause the remaining candidates have
their branding irons waiting for the
break among Atchison's delegates.
Judge A. B. Quinton of Topeka, nomi
nated Mr. Tufts for chairman, after
the convention had been called to or
der by Chairman Beck of the congres
sional committee.
The various candidates were nomi
nated as follows: Mr. Curtis, by
Judge A. H. Horton; Mr. Broderick, by
H. F. Graham of Holton; Mr. Bailey by
Simon Ryan of Hiawatha;' Mr. Walker
by S. A. Frazier of Atchison.
The Bailey forces held a conference
this morning to discuss the possibility
of Atchison county's eleven delegates
going to Broderick. It was agreed
in this event, that Brown, Nemaha and
Doniphan should at once declare war
on John Seaton, unless the delegation
is divided. Mr. Leland is quoted as
sst vincr
"If that happens and Atchison fails
to act fairly, Mr. Curtis will get some
votes he does not now expect.
This is believed to be a threat but
nevertheless Mr. Leland and his friends
say that "unfair" dealing on the part
of the Broderick men, will result in a
Curtis-Bailey combination, which might
nominate Curtis.
IN A PATHOL WAGON.
Lady Yarde-Buller Was Given a Rids
Mentally Unbalanced.
Oakland, Cal., April 12. Lady Yarde
Buller was arrested yesterday on a
charge of insanity and given a ride lu
the patrol wagon before her identity
was known.
She was found wandering around aim
lessly. Physicians will examine into
her mental condition.
