Washington, March 30.—'fi’ith the close of the Cabinet meeting yesterday Secretary Alger gave out the following statement: “So far from their beincr 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 iromptly made known," whatever the result.” \ THE NEGOTIATIONS PROCEEDINGT- 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. What a Cabinet Ofllcer 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 matter as an American and a wise, ju- dicious mar. 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 or 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 formulate his reply, there would be an end to all negotiations at once, and the solution of the whole question which is now in sight would be lost forever. Vigorous and Dotcnnined. “There need be no fear that the Pres- 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, supportng 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." ! l 5 l 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. 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 ‘1' she will accept peace or war. The Cabinet waited for several hours hoping for some word from Spain. The President and Cabinet are determined, 1 .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 his policy and in ' the endCongress will approve of it." HOUSE MAY REBEL. Movement on Foot. to Bring the l’roposi- . tion for Intervention in Cuba to a. Vote. Washington, March 80.—A very de— termined movement is on foot among the members of the House, in which prominent men of both parties are co— operating, to bring a. proposition for in- tervention in Cuba to a. vote, if neces— sary. t. 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-operation as soon as the Republi- . dead cashier, John S. Hopkins, -.,¢-. G o A 2 MT in cans who are engineering the scheme are ready. Mr. Hull, chairman of the Military Committee, is at the head of the move- ment on the Republican side,‘and it is asserted with great positiveness that it has decided strength. t 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. 1.Var Resolution in the House. Vi"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 lthe 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. Washington, March till—Secretary of State Sherman when asked last night 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 be 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. VV-ashington. March 30,—The feeling in Washington last night was that Congress was losing faith in the Presi— dent’s policy for the pacification of Cuba by means of diplomacy, and was slipping away from his control. The administration is said 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 Woodford held a conference in Madrid yesterday afternoon with Premier Sagasta and other members of the Spanish Cabinet upon 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. AMBASSADOR WHITE DENIES IT. Canard Quoted Him as Giving Emperor William’s Opinion. Berlin, Germany, March 30.—The Uni-ted States Ambassador, Mr. An— drew D. White, de- ies the statements attributed to him 13‘ the Sunday Spe- cial, of London. This paper quoted its Berlin correspondent as saying he had learned from Mr. \Vhite that Em- peror William 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. People’s Bank Afl'nirs. Philadelphia, March 30.—President 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 and Richard F. Loper. The amount of these transactions will reach about $700,000. 1,: is understood that the corneal stock of the bank, which is $12.0.Go0, will be paid in by the stockhouiurs. In ad- dition President McManes consents to the appointment of Tho-mas XV. Bar- low as temporary receiver for the bank.

Railroad at a point about eight miles above Reading, by wedging large steel plates betwaen the rails at a sid- ing.
