ULTIMATE PEACE FOR CUBA Home Rule Propositions “'hich the Span- ish Which This Government In Asked to Government Is Preparing. and o Favor—Situation Less Critical. Washington, March 29.—C‘ongress has followed the President’s advice, re- ceived the report of the Maine Court of Inquiry in silence and referred it to committees, and will abide the Presi— dent's time for acting upon it. Simultaneous with this Congressional action comes the word from Sagas'ta that Spain is willing to accept the Pres- ident’s offer of “humanitarian interven- tion," and aid the United States in feeding the starving in Cuba, and at :the same time asks the President to use his good offices with the Cubans 'to ac- cept Spain’s new attempts at absolute home rule which the ,Madrid govern- ment is now formulating, and hopes to be able to present soon. The President will no doubt consent to do this, but it is too early to discuss these details or to speculate as to the outcome. The President cannot now, nor is 'he going to, make promises as to what the Cubans will do. One thing is certain, he is going ahead, as he always has, to carry out his policy, and that policy is ultimate peace for Cuba. The Maine explosion has now become an incident. Its settlement will be left to diplomacy, and, as the Presi— dent salid in his mess-age, his confi- dence in the Queen Regent‘s thigh sense of honor, leads him to believe that it will prompt her to make due repara- 5tion. The President now intends to begin his work of humanitarian inter- vention. He will ask Congress for money and support to carry this out. The message which came from Spain, and which was laid before the special Cabinet meeting, told of Spain’s con- sent to this Wholesale relief, and, sup~ ported by this, Congress cannot refuse to come to the President’s aid. The President’s assurance to Spain of his good offices to help carry out the scheme of home rule has been given in good faith, and he has every hope that the United States at least will do all in its power to bring this about. It is claimed by the administration leaders in Congress that that body ‘will stand by the President. There will be objections, bitter and deter- mined, when the plan is outlined, but this same authority holds that the President has assurances from a ma- jority in the Senate including Repub- licans, Democrats and Populists, who will stand by him. Speaker Reed, it is asserted, promises the House. The prevailing feeling is that the President will be allowed Ito try his policy, with the hope that he may bring it to a successful issue. How- ever, the word “autonomy" has an ugly sound in the ears or many in Con- gress. Those who claimed they would never consent to a. quiet submission of the Maine incident to diplomacy are now protesting that nothing will suit them but independence for Cuba. It is the plan of them to bring about a test vote when the relief appropriation is brought up, and they propose ‘to at- tach an amendment for- the independ- ence of Cuba to the relief bill. If this can be done the issue will be made and the test taken in a day or two. These Senators also claim that the insurgents will never accept our good offices to secure home rule, and on this they also have their hope of defeating this plan and carrying out the demand for independence. A prominent Senator, in explaining the change in the situation, said: “The elections in Spain Sunday had a. great deal to do with Sagasta’s course. He has secured a victory and now knows that he :has the Cortes be- hind him, and is in a position to make concessions. without fear of a revolt at home. The President is determined to relieve the suffering in. Cuba, know- ing that by doing this and restoring Cuba to its normal state one of the great arguments now being used for the United States 'to intervene with force will be out of the way. Spain has consented to aid in this humani— talrian work, and in return asks the United States to use its good offices with the insurgents to secure absolute peace in the island. The United States cannot refuse to do this, [although it does not obligate itself ‘to force the in- surgents to submit. When the matter is laid before Congress that body can- not seriously object to securing peace and a virtual independence for the Cu— bans” The President will not send his relief message to Congress to-day, and it is supposed he will wait a couple of days before Ihe submits it. It is expected to-m-orrow. ‘ Yesterday afternoon, when the news of \the plan of settlement of the Cuban . question got fully known to the mem- u SENATOR MONEY ON CUBA. Independence Alone, He Says, Will End ' the Island’s LIisery. Washington, March 29.—Senator Money of Mississippi at the conclusion of the reading of the Maine report in the Senate yesterday spoke on the Cu- ban question. He said that he was committed to the proposition “to feed the starving and to clothe the naked, and to nurse the sick of that afflicted island." y As to the policy of ex ermination which was ascribed to Captain-General Weyler, he (Mr. Money) declared that VJeyler’s was not'the brain ltihat con- ceived it, but only the hand that exe- cuted it. He had been a mere instru- ment in the hands of another, and that other was Canovas. There was not another instance in history, :he declar- ed, where a great Government had de- liberately planned the starvation and death of innocent, loyal and unoffend- lng subjects,with nothing against them except that they possessed the land which the Spaniards coveted. No measure of relief had been given to these poor people except through the generosity of private ‘citizens of the United States. It would require appropriations to be made by Congress to give sufficient supplies; and he believed that the President would suggest it. “But are we,” said Mr. Money, “to apply the ointment to the wound when the knife is needed? Are we to con— tinue .to relieve the hungry and sick without first removing the cause,which operates to produce the effects? That would not be wisdom. It is due to us that we say to the power that inflicts this misery, ‘You must stop, or the strong arm of the American Govern- ment, with all the power of 74,000,000 people, will be used to cause a cessa- tion of these dreadful cal-amities.’ ” In the further course or his remarks Mr. Money declared that independence, and independence alone, was the goal of the struggles of the Cuban patriots, and that with nothing else would they be satisfied or would lay down their arms. SPAIN OWES US REPARATION. Leading British Journals ‘Varn the Mad- rid Government to Go Slow. London, March 29.—Tihe St. James‘ Gazette. commenting on the report of the United States Naval Court of In- quiry into the loss of the battleship Maine, says: “There can be no doubt Spain OWes reparation to the American Govern- ment, to say nothing of the most hum- bled apologies and the most extreme considerations for the feelings of the nation which has lost a fine cruiser, 1y- .ing in peace in a presumably friendly harbor. The outlook is as threatening as it could be;' but Spain is in the wrong, and it is for Spain to walk war- ily." The W’estminster Gazette remarks: “The resources of diplomacy ought not yet to be exhausted. \Te trust Presi- dent McKinley will maintain his unex- ceptionable attitude, and not allow himself to ‘be jingoed into war." The Globe things the report “gives Spain ground for maintaining that it shows bias,” adding: “The evidence that a mine caused the explosion is meage, unconvincing and not ‘borne out by previous experiences of the effects caused by mines explod- ing.” In conclusion, the Globe says: “Whichever way we look at the mat- ter, it is hard to agree with the verdict- of the Court of Inquiry." The llIcCoy-Bonner Fight Off. New Orleans La. March 29.—The Mc- Coy—Bonner fight did not take place last night. Bonner was arrested and McCoy found it convenient to place himself out Qf harm's way. as Attorney-General Cunningham learned that an effort would be made to pull off the fight in face of the court’s injunction he made a request for troops to Governor Foster, and the Sixth Battalion Louisiana State Na- tional Guards, was placed at his dis- posal. When this move was learned by the club managers a large placard was placed on the club building de- claring the fight off. llIurdera a Whole Family. Paris, March 29.—A terrible tragedy is reported from Bernay in the Depar- ment of the Eure. .a. robber named Cailliard murdered at family of six per- sons there Sunday evening. From a window of the house inhabited by the family he shot and killed with a gun the husband, the wife and two of their children who were playing at a table. Cailli'ard the neutered the house and cut the throat of a little girl who was in another room. Finally he blew out the brains of a paralytic bed-ridden woman, 71 years old. The murderer was arrested and confessed these and : several other crimes. fil bers of the Housa there was plain evi— f dence of dissatisfaction among the members. Republicans and Democrats alike ex- ; ‘ Guaran-tors’ Finance Company to the pressed themselves as opposed to au- tonomy or home rule, and they threat- ened to refuse to vote for the relief 3 appropriation if the President persist- ed in the present policy. There was no, mistaking the feeling, and it grew stronger during the after- noon. W’hether it will last until to- morrow cannot be said. Speaker Reed even realizes it and is trying to stop it. Another New Cruiser Bought. Berlin, March 29.—-Lieu|t.Commander Niblack, the United States Naval At- ta‘che, has returned here from Kiel.
