BRYAN FOR CUBAN INDEPENDENCE.
Birthday of Jefl'erson Series as Occasion
for Denuncia'tlon of Spalnjs \Varfare.
Washington, Apri' Ila—The 155th an-
niversray of the birthday of Thomas
Jefferson was celebrated here last night
[with a dinner at the National Ride
1
Armory, under the auspices , of the
National AssOcia'tion of Democratic
Clubs. About 400 representative Dem-
ocrats from all section of the country
were present, including many Senators
and Representatives.
The guest of honor was V’Villiam J.
Bryan. Chauncey F. Black of Penn-
sylvania, president of the ”association,
delivered the address of welcome, and
Senator James K. Jones of Arkansas,
chairman of the National Democratic
Committee, pnesided. Mr. Bryan, who
responded to the toast of “Thomas Jef-
ferson,” was greeted with enthusiastic
cheers, and throughout his speech there
were many demonstrations. ,
In the course of his remarkshe spoke
feelingly of the Cuban situation, de-
iclaring that if the United States as-
3
defense.
It is understood that instructions
have been cabled Captain-General,
Blanco to carry the suspension of hos-
tilities into practical effect, “according
to the circumstances in each district.”
The Cabinet meeting lasted five hours
and, it is said, was mainly devoted to
the consideration of President McKin-
ley’s recent message to Congress on the
Cuban situation.
Official Note Issued.
When the Ministers adjourned an of-
ficial note was issued, setting forth the
views of the Government. It is va-
riously commented upon and interpret-
ed in newspaper circles.
In brief, the note. sets forth that the
Cabinet has granted an extraordinary
credit for war purposes, and has inci—
dentally increased the grant for the ac-
count of the artillery of Porto Rico.
After disposing of current affairs, the
Premier, Senor Sagasta, designated
two of the Ministers to immediately
draw up an address to the Crown.
Senor Gullon read a portion of the
text of President McKinley’s message.
Although several paragraphs were lack—
i“:, the Cabinet, after referring to the
President’s previous messages, which
was considered necessary in order to
fill up the gaps in the present sum-
mary, decided that the paragraphs re-
ceived were sufficient for the Cabinet
to affirm that the Government refuses
to acknowledge the right of the United
States to interfere in Cuba, adding:
“The doctrines contained in the mes-
sage are incompatible with the sov-
ereignty and rights of the nation, and
are an interference in the international
affairs of this country.”
The Spanish Government, however,
expressed the opinion that it is not
called upon to take action until the
recommendations of President McKin-
ley have become specific acts. Thus,
it is considered by the Spaniards here
that matters are practically as they
were before the message was sent to
Congress, and the opinion is expressed
in official circles that neither the mes-
sage nor last night’s Cabinet meeting
has changed the prospects of peace.
No Action Yet.
The Spanish Government considers
that, apart from its salemn affirmation
of Spain’s rights as a nation, the Min—
isters are not called upon to make any
declaration so long as the resolutions
of Congress or the initiative of Pres-
ident McKinley do not lead to concrete
acts.
The official note also says: “A firm
consciousness of its rights, united with
the resolution to maintain them, will
inspire the nation, as they inspired the
Government, with the serenity neces-
sary in these difficult moments to di-
rect successuflly and defend energetic-
ally the sacred lnterests which are the
patrimony of the Spanish race.”
Cabinet “'as Unanimous.
London, April 14.-—-The Madrid corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail, telegraph-
ing at 5 o’clock last evening, says:
"Lieutenant-General Correa, Minister
of War, and Count quuena, Minister
of Public Works, both told me in con-
versation this afternoon that the Gov-
ernment was firmly resolved to repel
every attack, direct or indirect, on the
sovereignty of Spain in Cuba. They
said, also, that they. were sure this line
of conduct on the part of Spain would
certainly be supported by the European
powers, more especially because the
negotiations were based on a acknowl-
edgement of Spanish sovereignty in,
Cuba.
“They told me that the conduct of
Spain would be adjusted to that of the
United States, and that. in fact of the
fact of the continuation of military and
naval preparations in the United
States, Spain was fully justified in car- .
rying on her preparations. Finally the
Ministers said to me: ‘Our resolution
at the Cabinet Council was taken
unanimously, and we shall maintain it
with all the neCessary energy.’ ”

WH AT SAGASTA SAYS.
no Thinks MoKInley's Message ts De-
plorable.
Madrid, April 14.—Senor Sagasta in
an interview yesterday said: “1 con-
sider President ‘McKinley's message
deplorable. I think it was forced upon
him by the clamor of Congress, which
took advantage of his weakness. I be-
lieve that Mr. McKinley himself wished
‘to considerably modify the message.
but some adviser dissuaded him from
doing so. _
“The duration of the Cuban armistice
depends upon the conduct of the insur-
gents and the attitude of the United
States. The Spanish Minister at VVash-
ington has been instructed to present
to the American Government a fur-
ther memorandum through secretary
Sherman." ‘
Premier Sagasta considered that Con-
gress was likely to confer upon the
President the powers he asked. With
regard to further intervention through
.the friendly efforts of the powers Senor
Sagasta said: “They cannot do any
more than they have already done
without running. the risk of having
their friendly counsel regarded as an ‘
imposition." /
sumed the responsibiliity of deciding
that the cruelties and barbarities of
the warfare on that island should cease
no nation in Europe could protest with-
out defending the things which we
condemned.
He said that any man had a right to
prevent the erection of a slaughter
house in his own yard,» and that we,
who lived side by side with those who
suffered, could otn refuse in the name
~of humanity to insist that those \th
{had manfully resist-ed the tyranny of
' Spain had earned their right to sell“—
. for an appropriation for
- defense every Democratic Senator and
government.
In addition to our right to stop the
war on humanitarian grounds. he de—
clared that we had a right to insist
that any government at our doors
should be of such a character that one
of our ships would not be blown up
while under its protection.
He congratulated the Democratic
party also upon the fact that recent
events had vindicated it from a charge
persistently brought in the North that
it was not a patriotic party.
“As we assemble to-night,” he said,
“the civil war is over, never to be res—
urrected. When the President asked
the national
Representative, North, East, South and
West, responded, and what we told our
friends years ago that in the time of
danger the men who wore the gray
would be as loyal as those who wore
the blue has proved to be true.
He paid a glowing tribute to General
Fitzhugh Lee, which set his hearers
wild with enthusiasm.
TO eEOReANIZE THE ARMY.
Senators Proctor and Sewell Introduce
Bills for That Purpose.
Washington, April 14.—-Senators Proc-
tor and Sewell' have introduced bills
for the reorganization of the line of the
army. Both bills provide that the army
shall consist of two regiments of cav-
alry, seven regiments of artillery, a
battalion of engineers and twenty—five
regiments of infantry.
The total enlisted men in the army
is restricted to 30,000 in time of peace,
but an increase is provided for in war
by enlarging the infantry companies
to 150 men each.
Senator Thruston has introduced a
bill making a permanent annual appro-
priations of $2,500,000 for the purpose of
increasing the efficiency of the Na—
tional Guard, and of $300,000 for the
improvement of the Naval Reserve.
Senator Hale has introduced a. joint
resolutionat the instance of the Navy
Department providing for an auxiliary
navy force for coast defense to 'be en-
rolled in such numbers as the President
may direct and to serve for one year.
'l'ne resolution provides for officers for
the force to be selected from merchant .
vessels.
SAYS HE CAN PROVE IT.
Sublnarine BIine Expert in London Ridi-
cules Spanish Denials.
‘3London, April 14.—The Daily Mail
publishes this morning an interview
with Joseph Panell Gibbins, the sub-
marine mine expert, in which he ridi-
cules the Spanish denials of the his
statement as to the sale by him of sub~
marine mines to Spain, and declares
that he can prove that the United
States warship was wilfully and delib-
erately blown up.
What is more, according to the Daily
Mail's report, he thinks it possible to
reduce the explosion to the act of two
men, or even to one individual.
Yousouf Matched for 81,000.
New York, April 14.—Yousouf, the
“Terrible Turk,” who hails from Con-
stantinople, and Tom Jenkins, of Cleve-
land, Ohio, were matched yesterday to
wrestle mixed Groeco-Roman and
catch-as-catch-can styles, ‘best two out
of three, for $1,000 a side. Their man-
agers, W. A. Brady and Gus Hill, met
at the Police Gazette office and, after
signing the articles of agreement, each
deposited the amount of the stake.
The match is to «take place in Cleve-
land, 0., on May 4 of this year, and
both men are to be in the ring and
ready to wrestle at 8.30. If a. man fails
to appear with a reasonable time after
that hour or fails to fulfill the obliga-
tions imposed upon him by the articles
of agreement, he must forfeit his stake,
$1,000.
Russia Says ‘Var Is Impossible.
St. Petersburg, April 14.4The semi»
official Journal de St. Petersburg con-
tends ‘that the concluding passage of
President McKinley’s message to Con-
gress precludes the possibility of mil-
itary action upon the part of the Unit-
ed States, taking the ground that the
passage referred to recognizes Spain’s
armistice, and that the armistic “sus-
pends hostilities, which is the object
the United States had in view.”
Spain’s Warships at Sun J nan.
New York, April 14.—The British
steamship Arkadia, which arrived yes-
terday from San Juan and other ports
in Porto Rico, reported that there were
fi‘re Spanish war vessels at anchor at
'San Juan—the Vlzcaya, Oquendo, two
gunboats and one dispatch boat.
Spain’s Consul Leaves Key West.
Key West, April 14.—Acting under
orders from Madrid the Spanish Consul
has closed his office here and has gone
to Tampa. Before leaving he turned

Consul. Mr. Taylor. who will represent
