A. P. A. NOT ALONE.
Mr Linton, in discussing the matter this
mnniuiK with Times reporter, said that
the resolutions unbodied his reasons for
objei tint; to the statue.
"It Is a mistaken idea to itiuiRlne that
onlv members of the A. I'. A. are opposed
to this affair." he said. "It Is obnoxious
to fr, per cent of the American people on
account of the dress. There are more teli
crums and letters beinc receiied from
pi-ople outside or the A. 1". A., who object
to its lniiiR placed there, than from mem
bers of the order."
It is statul that objection was first-made
by n man who does not belong to that
organization.
Just when the dedicatory exercises will be
held, or of what they will consist, is not
known. An effort will lie made to l,.i e the
usual program followed cut. A re-olu-tlon
will be Introduced m tl.e House and
Peiiale setting apart a certain day for ap
propriate excretes upon the riteipt or the
statue. Members and Senators will lie in
vited to make addresses on the lire and
work or Marquette, the same as has been
done when other statues have been re
ceived. Itlspoasiblelhatthisplanmayrallthroush.
There si ems to lie desire on the part of
Borne or the members or the lower house to
allow the matter to drop. They think this
the best wav to cct o'lt or an unpleasant pre
dicament. On the other side or the buildhiK
Seuators Mitchell and Vilas will probably
seak. as may one or two others of that
body.
CnnKMONIES ABANDONED.
The opponents liilhettAtuenrp well sal Is
fied today over the turn events have taken.
Thev claim I hat their oiiiM.sition has had Ihe
effect of dolus; awaj with the presence of
Cardinals Oiblsins and Satolli and other
dlcnltanes or the Catholic church.
The oneln.il Intention was to have ln
Uted thcM- offlnals to alteml. This has,
however. lHfii abandoned. It was then
decided to hae only members of ConsreK-s
and of the Male committee present at the
unveiling. This, too, has lieen tfien up,
and the event occurred without ceremony
of any kind.

QUESTION NEVEIt BEFORE RAISED .
The question raised by Representative

Under tlie statute, passed years ago by
Congress, each Stale of the Union Is author

to question this right to se!is.i for distinc

Threats to disfigure the statue can occa
sionally be heard In the Capitol rotunda, or
corridors. Capt. Harden, chief of the
Capitol police furee-. In order to prevent any
such vandalism, has issued orders that Un
stable be guarded day and night, and a
poUcemiii Is constantly on duty near it.

SIR. HITT'S SPEECH.
The resolutions. Sir. Hilt said, had tus-n
considered with great earc by the com
mittee In many meetings, passing through
several months, and after consultation vv itb
nririv eminent Jurists.
It was the U-llrf of the committee that.
Ill the Interest or peace.'. In the interest or
the United State's, and In the Interest or
tho-e who were struggling iu Cuba, and
with whom the committee svmiiathlz-d.

they certainly ought not. cause any trouble
lietween the United States and any csiuntrv
that was not "seeking to pick trouble with

That belligerency was a fact, he sa'd.
was proved not by newsiiaper reportsnlone.
but by the reiiorts of Uiutisl States con
suls in Culm. The war iu CiiIm was nol a
reproduction of that which prevailed from
lbCR lo 187J; It was a far greater one.
three limes greater.
It had gone on until it had swept from
one end or the island to the other until
today the Spanish authority was i ot In
fact, exercised over more than one-third,
probably not more than one fourth or the
41.000 square ini!es or the surrace of the
Island.
The Spanish minister at Washington
had made a statement on the 22d or Feb
ruary to tr.e cf'i'it that I2.",000 troops
had lieen sent to Cuba by Spain. Was not
that war?
Was that a nobec putting down dis
turbances? Recently the captain general
of Cuba has issued two long proclamations
which had been read with horror. It
would not do. Sir. Hltt said, to say that
the struggle 111 Cuba was guerrilla war
merely.
Guerrilla warfare was a great and terrible
Instrument in the genius of the SjKinlsh
race. One hundrtd and fifty thousand of
the rinest soldiers or the world had marched
Into Spain and attempted to subdue a peo
ple which cimld only resist by guerrilla
warfare: and the Spaniards destroyed that
French army. Was not that, SIr.HItt asked,
vv ar?
During tlie delivery of Sir. Hilt's re
marks Senor Slendoiica and tlie secretary
of the Brazilian legation occupied front
seats in the diplomatic gallery.
So close was theattentlou given Sir. Hltt

The Spanish government has promptly
disavowed any responsibility for the as
sault on the United States consulate at
Barcelona le-sterday. and. in addition to
expre-sing deep regret over the occur-renc-e,
has oifcred to make complete repa
ration. Tills Information reached the State De
partment late la-t evening in a cable mes
sage from Sir. Hanuis Tavlor. minister of
the Unite ilStatcs at Sladrld. Secretary
Olney laid tlie ilisialth lxrore President
Cleveland early this morning, and on his
return he gave it to the press. The dis
patch follows:
"Minister of state has Ju-t calltd to ex
press deep regret that a mob ha- nisultel
Barcelona consulate, breaking windows,
and offered complete reiwiratloii. He in
formed me that the government, on its own
motion, has taken every precaution to guanl

protection." DE LOME WAIVED CERE.MONY.
Prior to the receipt of the dispatch ires

consulate had been received from both
Sllnister Taylor and Mr. Herlierl Bowen.

These lodicaUnns or the de-ire of tin
Spanish government lo make every amend
for the Insult to the! connulate were care
fully ciiusidertd by the Fre-iiiem and Sjee
ret.iry Olney at their conference this morn
ing. They were i-onvinted that n affront had
been given for which the government was
responsible, aud it is understood that Sec
retary Olney has sent a di-patch to Min
ister Taylor, instructing him to make
known to Ihe Spanish authorities (he ap
preciation of this government of their dis
avowal of the lusult.
The imldent Is telioved In official er
ele to be practically endisl with Spain's
repudiation of any responsibility for tho
attack of the mob. and her evident desire
to dn all that is possible to make amends
satisfactory to the United Slates.
FEELING IN CONGRESS.
There is a contingency, however, that the
Administration ft-arx mav interfere with
tin spmly termination of the uHalr in &
gratifying mann-r. and that is He growth
or an int-nse reeling In Conxress over what
miv If construed Into .in insult to the
United States.
The view or Ihe Administration Is that
the asaulr was committed by a crowd of
irre-spo.isible persons, and that the prompt
explanation of tlie Spanish minister for for
eign affairs and the evident .desire of his
government to hovr a spirit of friendli
ness to this country in the promise to make
reparation should be accepted in good
f.iitli by the United States.
It is feared, however, bv sons i,f tho-
otririnls who t-ike this view that ouralrcady
siralned relations with Spain over llin
Cuban resolutions may be put li.rurtbertcn
slon bv discussion of Ihcarr.uriu Congress.
This, it Is thought, may hasten action on
Hie Cuban r-o!nlln by tlie House ami
re-suit in their adoption in such a fi.rnith.it
the President will be obliged lo commit
the executive branch of the government b
jinn- definite po!icy with regard to Cuban
belligerency.
As the President, and Secrelarv Olney
are endeavoring at the present lime to
formulate some pkins with reference to
the United Slates and CuUi. they may tm
consibrabiv- embarrassed if matters take
the turn indicated.
lievond the information in the disnalcti
quoted nothing can 1 learned at the
blare neparillli lie concerning me jircscr..
eriiie.il asnect or nrr.nrs. it Is not un
likely, however, that the facts may in
laid berorc Congress through tt.e medium
or a mt-sjage lrom the President.
