THE PRESIDENT EEEM
Alger Says McKinley Must Take
One Step at a Time.
A‘WAITIN G SPAIN’S , REPLY
Secretary of War Says It hIay Be Said
That There Need Be No Fear That the
President Will Not Take the Next
Step—Has Not Lost a llIoment In Pre-
senting Not Only‘the Blaine Incident,
but the Whole Situation to Spain—-
Country Can Well Afford to \Vnit lie-
sult of Negotiation.
Washington, March 30.—Vv'ith the
close of the Cabinet meeting yesterday
Secretary Alger gave out the following
statement:
“So far from their being any differ-
ence of opinion among the members of
the Cabinet they are all in hearty ac—
cord with the President, and have been
without a. single exception. “Then he
read to them his message on the Maine
there was not a. dissenting voice nor a.
suggestion of change.
“It commanded the approval of every
member. How could the President
have said more? He gave Congress
the report at once and stated that he
had forwarded it to Spain and is
awaiting her reply.
“He must take one step at a time.
It may be said further that there need
be no fear that he will not take the
next) He has not lost a moment in
presenting not only the Maine incident,
but the whole situation to Spain. The
country can well afford to await the
result of the negotiations which will
be promptly made known, whatever
the result.”
THE NEGOTIATIONS PROCEEDING.‘
All That Is Necessary Is That Congress
. Have Patience.
Washington, March 30.—The Presi-
dent is waiting developments in the ne—
gotiations between this country and
Spain. That negotiations are rapidly
going on and that correspondence by
cable is passing between Washington
and Madrid is acknowledged, but the
Cabinet and the officials positively re-
fuse to talk about the nature of this
correspondence, claiming that to do so
would defeat the ends in View.
“’liat a Cabinet Officer Says.
The situation so far as the admin-
istration is concerned is able explained
by a. Cabinet officer, who says:
“The President is not yielding. When
the record is made up and Congress
and the public find out what has been
going on, they will see that the Presi—
dent has conducted himself in all this
cans who are engineering the scheme
are ready. .
Mr. Hill], chairman of the Military
Committee, is at the head of the move-
ment on theRepublican side, and it is
asserted with great positiveness that
-it has decided strength. It was the
intention of these members -to attach a
resolution for the relief of the CubanS,
which it was expected the President
would ask for in a message yesterday,
and it is claimed that it was the fear
of this which induced the President to
change his plans and withhold the
message. If the message is not sent
in the programme is to present a reso—
lution, and if it is ruled out of order
to overturn the ruling of the Chair.
A very prominent member, who is
using all his energies to promote the
foregoing programme, says that there
will be no delay beyond Thursday:
The members of Congress are cer-
tainly not in favor of any further de-
lay in regard to Cuba. The sentiment
is strongly against any further trial of
autonomy or an armistice for even a.
month. It was the fear that the Pres-
ident would submit such a proposition
which caused the revolt among the
members.
But assurances are made that the
President’s policy does not embrace
either of these. He wants immediate
peace in Cuba, and his negotiations
are all to this end, and he feels confi-
dent that Spain is going much further
in concessions than is generally sup—
posed. But she must be given time.
The President realizes, however, that
Congress is in an ugly mood, and that
it will not stand much delay; therefore,
at the Cabinet meeting yesterday it
was decided to prepare the message for
Congress, so that it can be submitted
to-day.
\Var Resolution in the House.
W'ashington, March 30.—Representa-
tive Marsh of Illinois, chairman of the
House Committee on Militia, yesterday
introduced a. joint resolution declaring
war between the Government of Spain
and its dependencies and the United
States and her Territories. It is as
follows:
“That war be, and the same is, here-
by declared to exist between the Gov-
ernment of Spain and her dependencies
and the United States and her terri-
tories, and that the President of the
United States is hereby authorized to
use the whole land and naval force
of the United States, including the
militia and the naval militia. thereof,
to carry the same into effect.” '
Situation Has Not Changed.
'\'\'ashingt-on, March 30.—Secretary of
‘ State Sherman when asked last night
matter as an American and a wise, ju— g
dicious man. It will show him to be
on top, and will completely rout those
men who are now trying to force an is-
sue and will show how hastily and
unwisely they are acting.
“The tone of some of the papers, so
far as the news columns go, greatly
surprise me, for there is nothing in the
situation to warrant the conclusions
that the President is yielding in his
policy of peace for the island ’01" com-
promising the country in any way. My
lips are sealed as to the negotiations,
but I can say that everything seems
now favorable to an. honorable settle-
ment of the whole matter. , One should
judge that if Spain is Offering an
armistice, she is only preparing the
way for something further. If it was
told what the President was saying to
Spain before Spain answered, or what
Spain was saying to the United States ;
before the President could formulatei
his reply, there would be an end to all
negotiations at once, ad the solution
of the whole question which is now in
sight would be lost forever.
. Vigorous and Determined.
“There need be no fear that the Press—
ident is liable to take the wrong course
for he is as vigorous and determined
in his policy as he has been from the
beginning. Now is the time for pa—
tience and waiting, not for disturb-
ance or ill—timed Action by Congress.
The recognition of independence of the
Cubans now can be of little avail to
those people. It can accomplish noth-
ing. The President knows that, and
therefore is not advising any such ac-
tion. There are no differences in the
Cabinet. They are all of one accord
with the President, supporting him
heartily in all his course, and one and
all are certain that when the end
comes the people of the United States
will find that the President has been
right all the way through, and has not
for a single instant forgotten his duty
to the country and its honor."
The President has told a number of
Senators that he would not send his
message to Congress until he had posi-
tive information from Spain as to her
course, and was able to lay the whole
matter intelligently before the legisla-
tive body. - i
All he asked in return was that Con-
gress would be conservative and pa—
tient, and that in due time he was sure,
when able to report, that they would
support him in all he had done.
Last Hope for Peace.
After the Cabinet meeting yester-
day afternoon a. Cabinet officer said:
“The President has made the last pre—
sentation to Spain for peace. It re-
mains for that country to determine.
whet: “r she will accept peace or war.
The Cabinet waited for several hours
hoping for some word from Spain. The
President and Cabinet are determined,
however, to make every_ effort for
peace.
“If Congress will not wait until the
means is employed to secure peace and
declares war, the responsibility rests
upon that body. If it waits, the Pres-
ident will carry out hlspollcy and in
the end Congress will approve of it.” .
HOUSE MAY REBEL. ' "-
Movement on Foot to Bring the Proposi-
tion for Intervention in Cuba to a Vote.
Washin’g‘ton, March 30.——A very dc.—
tormlned movement is on foot among
the members of the House, in which
prominent men of both parties are 00—,
operating, to bring a. proposition for in—
tervention in Cuba. to a. vote, if neces—
sary, b- arbitrarily overruling the
Chair. The situation is being thor-
oughly canvassed, particularly on the
Republican side, as the Democratic
leaders have given assurances of their
'co—operatlon as noon as the Republi'
as to the status of the present crisis,
said:
“I see no marked change in the con-
dition of affairs. The President is
earnestly laboring to preserve peace.
No one, I think, wants war if it can
be avoided. The President is anx-
ious to accomplish a. common end
through peaceful measures if he can.
In his efforts in this direction he de-
serves, and I have no doubt will re-
ceive, the aid of every patriotic person
in the land.” -
Losing Faith in President’s Policy; "
'Washington, March 30.——The feeling
in Washington last night was that
Congress was losing faith'in the Presi-
dent‘s policy for the pacificatmn pf
Cuba by means of diplomacy, and was
slip-ping away from his 'control’. " The
administration is's'aid to be cognizant
of the attitude of Congress and ‘appre-‘
hensive that it may take some action
which will cause a. rupture between the
United States and Spain before the
pending negotiations are concluded.
It is declared that all the proposi-
tions looking to a peaceful settlement
have come from the United States, and
that Spain has failed to reply.
Minister \Voodford held a conference
in Madrid yesterday afternoon with
Premier Sagasta and other members
of the Spanish Cabinet inon the result
of which it was said would depend the
reply of Spain to the Minister’s note
demanding an immediate cessation of
hostilities in Cuba. As far as can be
learned, the outcome of the conference
was unknown to the administration at
a late 'hour last night.
People’s Bank Afl‘airs.
Philadelphia, March 30,—Presid-ent
McManes, of the People’s Bank, has
issued a. sworn statement, in which
he agrees to personally make good all
losses of the bank’s proceeds. He
says an examination reveals that the
bank is insolvent, due to unauthorized
and unlawful transactions between the
dead cashier, John S. Hopkins, and
Richard F. Loper. The amount of these
transactions will reach about $700,000.
It is understood that the capital stock
Of the bank, which is $150,000, will be
paid in by the stockholders. In ad-
dition President McManes consents to
the appointment of Thomas W. Bar-
low as temporary receiver for the
bank.
Wreckers Near Reading. ‘
Reading, Pa.., March 30.—For the
fifth time in four weeks, an attempt
wls made yesterday rto wreck a pas—
, senger train on the Reading & Colum-
‘ bia Railroad at a point about eight
miles above Reading, by wedging large
steel plates betWeen the rails at a sid—
ing. In each case the obstructions
were discowred by men walking along
the tracks before the arnival of the
train intended for destruction.
’BLANOO FEA§§ TEOUEE'.
Says It May Be Precipitated by Ameri-
cans Who Want War. ‘
Washington, March §O.—'I\he State
Department; gives no official con-
firmation (it reports that official ad-
vices fronf Havana. state that riots,
headed by the Weyler element, are ap-
prehended.
It a appears, however, that Captain-
General Blanco has sent a. communi-
cation to Washington in which he says
he believes that a. demonstration may
be precipitated at any moment 'by an
element made up of certain Americans
of strong anti-Spanidh tendency in Ha-
vana. General Blanco states that he
does not fear any disturbances and
riots coming from the Cuban people.
The suggestion that the Weyler ele-
ment is threatening riots is emphati-
cally repudiated by the Captain-Gen-
eral. General Blanco expresses com-
plete confidence in his ability to pre-
serve quiet "among the native popu-
lotion.
He is. convinced, .he says, that a. riot-
ous demonstration. at Havana amount-
ing to en overt act, designed to precipi-
tate war between the United Stat-es
and Spain, is being systematically f0-
;nemed by a certain class of American
citizens.
Blanco clearly and unequivocally de-
clares that the presence of American
correspondents in Cuba make the situ—
ation, in hls view, more critical.
nonicd in “’ashington.
Vv’ashiugtcn, March 30.——Assistant
Secretary Dav says that there is no
basis for the reports that riots and
disturbances were threatened in Ha-
vana. The State Department posted
the following statement:
“A telegram from General Lee shows
there is no occasion for the alarming
reports aslto the situation in Havana.”
The, report of riots in Havana led to
the belief that a movement was on foot
to have American ships sent to the
Cuban capital as a measure of protec-
tion to American int-erests.‘ It is not
likely, however, that this will be done
for the present. Owing to the dis-
quieting reports about trouble at Ha.-
vana Judge Day prepared tthe state-
ment quoted above. --
This was 'the only reference Judge
Day would make to many different
stories as to agitation at Havana, the
danger to American citizens there and
the alleged threats against General
Lee’s life. The Assistant Secretary
conveyed the strong impression that
these reports of disturbances were not
correct, although be confined his bili—
cial utterance to the brief statement
above given. From an authoritative
source also it was learned that it was
not probable that American naval ves-
sels would be sent to Havana for the
present.
GERMAN BARK MlSSlNG.
Fears for the Safety of Her Crew of
Twenty-one llIen.
Philadelphia, March 30.—The Ger-
man bark Marie Seidenburg,from Dub-
lin Jan. 31, in ballast for this port, is
missing, and fears are entertained that :
she has foundere-d with her crew Of
twenty—one men. Seventeen days ago
the missing bark was sighted Off Scot—
land Lightship, outside of New York
harbor, and orders were put on board
of her by a. pilot boat addressed to
Capt; Menkens, her master, instructing
him to proceed tO'Phlladelphia, where
she had just been chartered to load
crude oil for Marseilles.
Since that time she has not been
seen or heard from. The mysterious
disappearance of this ship is One of the
strangest events in shipping annals.
She had only one hundred miles to
cover, when last sighted, to reach ‘the
Delaware Capes, and she should have
reported there the next day. Tugs are
cruising for her, and her agents are
watching day and night for news of the
missing ship. \
.AMBASSADOh WHITE DENIES IT.
Canard Quoted Him as Giving Emperor
William’s Opinion.
Berlin, Germany, March 30.—The
United States Ambassador, Mr. An-
drew D. White, de- Les the statements
attributed to him ly the Sunday Spe-
cial, of London. This paper quoted
its Berlin correspondent as saying he
had learned from Mr. \Vhite that Em-
peror W‘illiam had expressed the belief
that the Maine was not destroyed from.
the outside, and that in order to study
the cause of 'the disaster, Emperor
William had commanded a. naval com—
mittee, presided over by Admiral von
Knorr, to study a series of exhaustive
reports which His Majesty had caused
to be cabled from Havana, and that
the committee had concluded that the
explosion was due to the overheating
of the coal bkuners of the battleship,
and not the explosion of a. torpedo or
submarine mine. Mr. White, accord—
ing to this correspondent, said he was
of the same view as the committee,
and this the Ambassador also denies.

JTHE REAL...cAUSI:Z
Many physician's do not seem tolcnoxv that the real cause of the weaknesses
of many women is to be found in disordered Kidneys and Bladder. They erron-
eously treat women for " female troubles,” and their medicine does not reach the
affected parts at all. The other day the New York papers recorded the death of
‘3, -1. ,..
a woman who died of Kidney troubles and had been treated for
years for “female disease.” If she had taken Dr. David Ken=x
