IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION AND CUBA'S EVACIIATON Coinmittee Foreign AITaies to Report to Congress Not Later Than Thursday. Wami i n nviN, April 12.

To-morrow morning ace* riling to present arrange ments, Tie will make a statement iu ref erence to the Maine before the Senate committee. In tiie afternoon lie will make the same statement before the House committee. The evidence General Lee will present is expected to plnv an important part ill the committees' deliberations, and members of Congress anticipate that it wiil cause the two committees to make it conspicuous as an issue in the reports tliev will present. The understanding today is that tlie resolution which now finds most favor with tlie committees of both Houses is for immediate intervention, and with tlie Maine incident to the front. A res olution which recognizes the island's freedom may he presented independently because of the tear that an intervention resolution which contains tlie independ ence feature would meet with deter mined opposition ami subjected to long delay bv means of exhaustive speeches. two presented i <enci:'.l I.ee reached be MOBS l\ SPAIN. Police SuffresM MASON FOR WAR. Says Spain Must Atone for the Murder of American Sailors. April Mason, of Illinois, made another appeal in behalf of Cuba today. "lam for war,'' he declared almost at the outset, "and have been since the hour our Sag was lowered in Havana harbor, and the lives of our cit'zans taken by tliegovernu e it. f Spain. Blit I am and have been for this declaration of war only as a means of se curing honorable peace. I have no desiie to destroy tlie Spanish nation, but her Hag must be dishonored by surrendering sovereignty over Cuban territory as an atonement for lowering our nag. sinking our ship and murdering our men." To declare for intervention without de claring directly, oiienlv for war, Mr. Mason asserted, seemed to lack frank ness and savored too much of Spanish diplomacy. 12.—Senator Washington - , her ____.

Wasiiinoton, April 12.—The real sig nificance of Spain's proposal for an armistice has just become apparent. Being emboldened by tiie attitude cf President McKinley, Spain now suggests that in the event that tlie Cubans refuse to accept the offer of an armistice the United States compel the insurgents to do so. In other words,Spain wants the United States to become tier ally and crush tlie patriots in Cuba. The suggestion, as outlined above, comes from an ofiieial representative of Spain now here. He points out that, owing to the prac tical blocklike of American ports against filibustering expeditions and the objec tion of owners of vessels to venture into Cuban waters at tlie present time, tiie supplies of the insurgents have been cut if and they will be compelled to accept the offer of an armistice. 0 BRITISH VIEWS Impossible Tor Spain to Accept I lie Only Conditions That Can Insure Peace. London, April 12.—The Daily Graphic thinks tlie President's message bound to lead to war. It says: "Spain will, of course, resist interven tion and war will result. But the duty of tlie United States lies not the less in tlie path now marked out for her by the President." The Daily Mail and tlie Daily Tele graph admit that the message leaves the question oi immediate war umlerter uiined, hut declare tlie eventuality of war certain, "as it is iiuposible for Spain to accept the only conditions which will avert war." The Westminister Gazette thinks after all, the United States has large claims for intervention in all affairs in America. The Venezuela arbitration established a far-renehi ng precedent. ' ' Mall Gazette says: "President McKinley is right in fol lowing the excellent course of throwing upon Congress the responsibility for national action, and there is no doubt what Congress's answer will be. "In our opinion it is too late to avoid war, as Spain is apparently determined to tight a hopeless battle rather than yield to demands which, thong h ex pressed by America alone, are in reality the demands of an informal concert of the world's civilization." The St. James's Gazette complains that tlie message leaves tilings in a state of uncertainly, but savs: "President McKinley and Congress may well hesitate to accept the really serious responsibility of committing the United States to the recognition of bands of brigands as a government. "If the United States were a European power, governed by a l'itt ora Bismarck, a war ot contest would result; but it is doubtful if the United States is prepared for that work." The Fall RKSTUOYKIi ARRIVES. Sixty Indictments Against the Looters of a Rank. CASKS OF W. N. BOGGS & CO The Good Men and True, Who Are ut Work on the Differ ent Dills of lu ll ictments. For the next two days the cases of William N. Boggs, charged with the em bezzlement of $197,000 from the First National Bank, of Dover, and his fellow looters, Colonel Ezekiel T. Cooper, Amos E. Cole, Thomas S. Clark. Joseph It. Mc Gonigal, Harry M. Ford and Charles J. Butler, will claim the exclusive atten tion oi the United States District Court Grand Jury. These gentlemen will have toAfo over sixty bills of indictment in these cases alone and when t"is is taken into con sideration, together witii the fact that tlie Grand Jury work almost five hours per day, it is quite jierceptible that tlie three days at least will be consumed in these cases. The jury's Brat day, that of yesterday was shortened somewhat by reason of the gentlemen composing it being compelled to await tlie arrival ot a mimoer ot down the state jurors. When Judge Bradford entered the FederalCourt room at 11.30 o'clock yester day morning very few persons were present. The calling of the names of the ju'ors and the swearing in of them by Cl-'rk S nith consumed twmty-minutes a. d all responded as follows with the except tion ot Charles II.Kitlinger, of Wilmiug ton who was reported as non est: Wilmington—John S.

Ilia brief address to tlie grand jury, Judge Bradford said: "Gentlemen after retiring to your cliamlier, the district at torney will present to your attention certain matters for action. Tlie court does not feel, at this time, disposed to give you any gcneial charge concerning the matters to be brought before you." After referring to the power of the fore limn of the jury, Judge Bradford con eluded as follows: "At least 12 grand jurors | mist unite in finding an indict ment, and III must be present," The grand jury retired to its chamber at I l.ti o'clock and organized by elect ing Job n S. Mullin foreman and E lgar L. Haynes as secretary. They then adjourned until 2 o'clock in tlie afternoon and from that time until adjournment till tomorrow were busy with the cases of Mr. Boggs and Ids co partners in looting the bank. Tlie sums which it is said Colonel Cooper A Co. assisted Mr. Boggs in getting away with, follows: Colonel F, T. Cooper. $23,000; Amos E. Cole, $1,421); Thomas S. Clark, $4,000, Joseph R.

Brief Hems Gleaned That Are of In terest-Vessel for South Amer ican Water*. In a review of American war vessels, it in learned that tiie first iron vessel to be built in this country was the Scourge, which was built at the shipyards of the Harlan A Hollingsworth Go., in this city. The vessel was 131 feet over all, 23 feet beam and 9 feet depth of hold. A peculiar scene was witnessed at the shipyards of the Pusey A Jones Co. yes terday morning. Steam was applied to the small wheelbarrow or stern wheel steamboat of liglit-draug yards of the company, for the purpose of testing the machinery. The stern wheel of the steamer is in position and the boat is on the ways where she was built. The machinery worked with precision and the test was satisfactory. The vessel is intended for South Amer ican waters, and will shortly be placed in the Christiana preparatory to being taken to New York and from that place consigned to her destination. The boat and tlie tender which is being con structed for the same parties, will be towed through tlie Delaware A Raritan Canal to Jersey City and at this point nlaeed on board of a vessel for New York. lit built at the Levy Court is Given a Copy of the Measure Relative to tlie Assessment. At its meeting yesterdav the Lew Court received a copy of the act relating to tlie assessment for 1898, which was recently passed by tlie Legislature. The provisions of the act are as follows: "That the time'for making assessments an d corrections thereof, for the vear A. ]). 181)8, by the Levy Courts of the ra spective counties of this State, be and the same is lierebv extended until the lust uny of April instead of tlie last day „f March as provided in chapter 8 of tlie Revised (Vide; and for the purpose of making such assessments and corrections the said respective Levy Courts are liere t>y directed and required to meet dur ing the last week of April of the present year."

William Barker, wlo in a con versa tion at tlie Clayton House hoped that lie would never bo seat to tlie whipping post, now stands an excellent show of appearing at that place of torture, and be compelled to undergo tiie ordeal which lie so much dreaded. That truth is stranger than fiction is fully evidenced in tlie case of Barker. Barker arrived in tiiis city on .Satur day and iu tlie evening met two sales men by tlie names of Rapley and Taylor at the Clayton House. He appeared to be well informed and, despite his rough ap,warance,displayed a km.wL'dge of yaeli i ig which . oo i got him into the good giaces of the men. On Sunday he accompanied tlie two to church, and on their return from worship wanted them to go witii him to Washington, although he had previously informed them that lie had no money. Un Sunday night tlie two were seated in the Clayton House when they were joined by "a man who entered in con versation witii them and explained tlie method sused at tiie whipping post. In conclusion tiiis latter gentlemen said "It is queer, is it uot that a inaa who steals a gold wateli gets whipped while the one who embezzles $107,000 does not." Barker immediately responded by wishing that he would never be whipped ami then resumed the conveis ition. On Monday be made his appearance at the restaurant of George lewis a - No. 703 West Second street and while talking to tlie proprietor said he was a iniMinery salesman and had an engagement to dine w.th a prominent Market street mer chant.
