Marie Wilson, Once in Los Angeles,
Ends Her Pour-Year Chase in
the Toledo Workhouse
Special to Tho Herald
SPRINGFIELD, 0., April 10.—Fremont,
Ohio, has had the biggest sensation during
the past three days known for years. The
cause was Marie Clcotte Wilson of Los
Angeles, Cal., formerly of San Francisco.
The woman was recently arrested and
tried at Cincinnati on a charge of perjury
in swearing she was the wife of P. J. Bur
roughs of this city, one of the best known
auctioneers ln this country. She was ac
quitted on a technicality and on Thursday
she and her alleged mother, Mrs. Wilson,
went to Fremont, to Burroughs' home,
and drove his aged mother from it, claim
it was hers. Warrants were sworn out
and the women were finally located and ar
rested in St. Ann's church while services
were in progress. They had a preliminary
hearing and created a scehe by tearing
up the affidavit and "roasting" the mayor.
Saturday evening they were given a trial
and a dramatic scene occurred. They
were sentenced to ninety days ln the To
ledo workhouse and fined *25 and costs.
They were taken to Toledo. The Clcotte
woman has pursued Burroughs in every
state from California to Ohio for over four
years.

g WASHINGTON, April 10.—The X
a Spanish government, through its mm- x
-a inter at Washington, Senor Polo y tt
it Hernabe, tonight delivered an impor- Jf
ist tnnt official document to thu state x
tt department, stating that the armls- x
X' ticc which the queen regent of Spain #,
X has commanded General Blanco to x
% proclaim today was without condl- H
X tions; that her majesty's government n
n had granted liberal Institutions to the a
X Island of Cuba, which the coming Cv- X
X bun parliament would adopt; recall- X
X ing the condolence and sympathy ex- X
X pressed by the queen regent and her a.
i» government on the disaster of the it,
X Maine and the horror this disaster :i
[a, had occasioned in Spanish hearts, and al
a appealing to the courtesy and sense .a
X of justice of the United States gov- X
a ernment to enlighten public opinion ,|J_
X upon the attitude of Spain. The note x
X : also repeats the offer of the Spanish It
X government to submit the Maine a,
:< question to experts designated by the X
«_ maritime liowers of the world. ;.a.
This document was the official notifica
tion of the Spanish government to the
United States of the granting of an armis
tice and its essential terms. Minister
Woodford's dispatch last night had briefly
stated the fact that an armistice had been
agreed upon, but it was not communicated
as coming from the Spanish government.
Today's communication cleared up mis
apprehensions on the most vital point of
Spain's concession, namely, that the arm
istice was without conditions. The note
was received by the state department after
the first cabinet meeting and was one of
the main subjects of consideration at the
second cabinet meeting held tonight. Al
though the Spanish note was surrounded
with the usual secrecy of official negotia
tions, the following summary of Its con
tents was secured:
"The Spanish minister ln Washington is
deeply impressed by the numerous errors
which seem to have obtained credit in pub
lic opinion in America in regard to the
Cuban question, considers it his duty to
call again to the attention of the secretary
of state of tho United States the following
points:
First—Her majesty, the queen regent
of Spain, desirous of ending the troubles
which are desolating Cuba, has com
manded a suspension of hostilities.
General Blanco has been ordered to
proclaim today an armistice without
conditions. He will determine later
the duration and details of this armis
tice, so as to carry out the generous
intentions of her majesty and the
wishes of the friends of peace.
Second—Her majesty has granted to
the island of Cuba institutions as lib
eral as those enjoyed by Canada under
the British flag. The Cuban chamber
will meet on the 4th of next May. It
will be their duty and privilege to put
into practice and develop these institu
tions. In addition to this Cuba is rep
resented in the parliament at Madrid.
Third—Public opinion in this coun
"try appears to ignore the fact that the
loss of the Maine was immediately fol
lowed by official and reiterated ex
pressions of condolence from her
majesty, the queen, from her govern
ment, from her charge d'affaires ln
Washington, and from the authorities
at Havana, all of which tended to af
firm the horror which this disaster has
caused to arise in Spanish hearts, as
also the sympathy felt for the United
States government and navy for the
American nation. The Spanish min
ister feels confident he can count upon
the courtesy and sense of Justice of the
United States government to enlighten
public opinion on thesubject.
Fourth—As to the cause of this la
mentable disaster, it resolves itself fnto
a question of facts which can only be
settled by material proofs. The Span
ish minister reiterates the assurance
that his government is ready to submit
the question to experts designated by
maritime powers, whose conclusions
are ln advance accepted.
RELATIONS RENEWED
Senor Polo y Barnabe delivered the
document in person to the state depart
ment, and aside from the Interest in the
communication Itscff, the call has added
Interest as an evidence of renewal of dip
lomatic negotiations, this being his first
call at the department In ten days. Later
Senor Dv Bosc, first secretary of legation,
mado another call at the department on
the same general subject.
Besides delivering the hote the call per
! mitted, a personal exchange between the
| secretary of state and the Spanish officials
of an agreeable character.
A SPECIOUS REASON
MADRID, April 10, 10 a. m.—El Imparciai
says that Lieutenant General Correa, min
ister of war, |o a conversation yesterday
with seyeral people expressed himself as
follows:
"It Is an error to say that the govern
ment has granted an armistice to the
rebels. I would never give that before
leaving the ministry, because it would be
the same thing as recognition of the bel
ligerency of the rebels. The government
has granted the wishes of the powers that
we should cease hostilities during the days
which General Blanco Judges expedient for
preparing for peace. I accede to a cessa
tion of hostlltles because to refuse the
wishes of the powers would be to divorce

LOS ANGELES, MONDAY MORNING, APRIL IJ, 1898
THERE IS BUT ONE PATH TO PEACE
AND THAT LIES IN A DECLARATION OF WAR
AGAINST SPAIN
Whether Mc'Kinley's Diplomacy Has Been Bungling or Brilliant Senators and Representa
tives in Congress Are Disposed to Take Quick Action Without
Reference to the Diplomatic Entanglement
WASHINGTON, D. C, April 10.—(Special to The Herald.) A new complication has arisen t&
JL tonight. The six powers which recently sent a note to President McKinley suggesting the ad visabil- JL
>j ji ity of preserving the peace, are said to declare that Spain has complied with every request made of her »le
, L by President McKinley. They say that McKinley, in all his correspondence with Spain, has never
i « asked for Cuban independence. They say that in view of the fact that Spain has done everything she
cj * was asked to do, the proposed intervention is practically an act of bad faith to the powers. It will
cj * be recalled that Assistant Secretary Day recently gave out the information that Spain, in answer to jj,
■j I a note, asked if negotiations were based on Cuban independence as a precedent condition, and that k -X»
j L the state department cabled back an affirmative answer. If it is true that McKinley never suggested
,-j * Cuban independence, the United States is in an embarrassing position diplomatically. Ji.
j' a Republican leaders are much concerned and in a quandary as to what we should do. They -J,
~ • are anxiously awaiting the presentation of the correspondence, so that they may judge how seri- ffl
J , ously the president has compromised the country. Should it eventuate that we are in a bad position
J , diplomatically, the only way to extricate ourselves is to declare war on the strength of the Maine dis- 3^
] . aster. Another way out of it would be to recognize Cuban independence and declare for armed inter- ,jC
1 » vention, ignoring the diplomatic entanglement entirely. JT
j 1 The house Republicans and Democrats were tonight working on a combination~whereby their A,
] L united votes will override Speaker Reed's personal following in the house. This combination desires X
a « independence and intervention, or a declaration of war. A member of the cabinet, when asked to-
J | night if the armistice addendum would have any effect in securing delay in congress, said, emphat- 3£
I , ically: "Not one moment. lam inclined to think that senators and representatives are disposed to JL
j. take quick action." T
j>p The diplomatic correspondence between Spain and this government will noF~be. sent in with <Ju
et * the message, according to the latest determination of the president. The senate is certain to grow X
] i indignant over this, and a resolution asking for it will undoubtedly be adopted. T
li Archbishop Ireland said to a friend tonight: "The only way for the United States to pre- 4,
t serve peace is to declare war." jT
„ a This paradox means that, in Ireland's opinion, if the United States declares war, Spain will Jl
cj * surrender Cuba. A

IN THE SENATE
A Hunt for Harmony In Advance ot
Action
WASHINGTON, April 10.—The week In
the senate probably will be given entirely
to the Cuban question. The president's
message is counted upon to arrive soon af
ter the assembling at noon tomorrow. It
will be referred promptly to the committee
on foreign relations, and the present un
derstanding Is that no report will be mada
by the committee before Tuesday. Tho
report may, in case of the development cf
radical differences ln the committee, be
delayed to even a later day.
There Is a decidedly strong disposition
on the part of many senators who are not
members of tbe committee to have the
senate as a body take up the subject ot
shaping the committee's report, contem
poraneously with the committee, and it Is,
not Improbable that a secret session of
the senate may be held with this purpose
In view. The purpose of thlg movement
is, as has been frequently stated, to secure
as near an approach to harmony In the
senate as possible, and It is believed this
can best be accomplished by having the
senate agree upon the form of the resolu
tion before it goes to the senate for action.
The present tendency In the senate Is to
confine the congressional fulmlnatlon to a
declaration for armed intervention, leav
ing the recognition of independence lo
come later, and it now appears probable
that the foreign relations committee will
report in favor of tills course, though not
without some dissent. If the meeting of
the committee to be held before the re
ceipt of the message should develop that
tiuch action can be secured from the com
mittee, and ln a way to Insure harmonious
action on the report in the senate, then
there will probably be no occasion for a
discussion of the form of the resolution be
fore taking up the real question at issue.
Senators, as a rule, show very slight In
clination for each other, and the chances
are that if the senate does not adjourn
soon after receiving the message, the Cu
ban question will come up in some shape
tomorrow. Yet it is barely possible that
the whole matter will be deferred until tho
foreign committee can make its report. A
resolution scarcely can get through tho
senate without arousing some discussion,
as there are senators who are opposed to
any action at all, whether for Intervention
or Independence. Senator White ot Cal
ifornia Is one of these, and he probably
will discuss any resolution reported. Tners
are several senators who now say that
they will Insist upon the recognition of in
dependence In any action taken, and that
they will be head from in opposition to any
measure that does not provide for this.
If opportunity appears, the sundry civil
appropriation bill will be finally disposed
of, and it is possible the naval appropria
tion bill will be reported from the commit
tee and taken up later in the week.
IN THE HOUSE
Intense Interest in the President's
Cuban Message
WASHINGTON, April 10,-Upon the pre
sumption that Spain's offer of an armis
tice to the Cuban insurgents will make no
change ln the plans of the administration
and that the president's message will go
to the house tomorrow, the house thli
week will make history.
In anticipation of stirring scenes and
momentous action, every congressman has
been besieged by hundreds of friends for
tickets to the reserved galleries, and the
general multitude that must take ite
chances in the public galleries on the prin
ciple of first come first served, is prepared
to assault the capitol at dawn tomorrow.
It Is likely that hundreds will camp out on
the marble steps all night, so intense Is the
desire to be present when the message Is
read. The public generally regards the
message as the prologue of a drama which
may end in war before the curtain goes
down.
After the message is read tomorrow it
will probably be referred to the committee
on foreign relations without debate. Such
is the program to which both sides have
practically assented, with the tacit under
standing that the committee will report on
Tuesday the resolutions upon which tha
house will be expected to act. Any indi
vidual attempt to frustrate this part of the
program will prove abortive.
With the gravity of the situation caa*>
