New York, N. Y., April 14.—
A dispatch to the World from
Madrid says: "The Heraldo
publishes the following details
any conditions of the suspension
of hotilitie in Cuba.
Tho troops will remain in their
positions, ceasing all offensive
operations except that convoys
to outposts and stations in the in-
terior will be permitted to forage,
and if tho enemy attacks it will
be very vigorously repelled and
chastised.
If, during the suspension of
hostilities, the rebels send an
emissary to parley he will be re-
ceived and the conditions Jfor an
armistices will be discussed and
made with him by some one sent
from the commander's force, the
Spaniards being instructed to
make such arrangements with
the insurgent chief of the highest
rank possible. During the sus-
pension all rebels desirious of so
doing will be allowed to make
submission.

New York, N. Y., April 14.—
The view taken here of President
McKinley's message is exceed-
ingly serious, although some ap-
parently think that while the
president may be given powers
to intervene the period at which
intervention shall take place is
undefined, depending upon re-
sults and events, says the Madrid
correspondent of tho Herald.
A popular appreciation of the
situation is expre33ed today by a
political leader, who said:
"Does President McKinley in-
tend to take Cuba immediately?"
It is said there are in the minis-
terial council those who take tho
view I have just mentioned and
profess to understand the posi-
tion explaning that tho message
must not be road too hastily and
that it has not advanced the
recognition of beligeredcy ani
independence. It is more than
possible that such influonce will
succeed.

A British small craft named
Arrow was captured some time

What do you think of ycur
favorite paper, this morning,
anyway?
Uncle Sam has a fairly good
sized fleet in the waters of the
Orient, waiting to see if it is nec
essary to make a descent upon
the Phillipine islands. These
ships are the Olynipia, Boston,
Raleigh, Concord and Petrel.
They are too far away to do any
good in a descent upon Havana,
but they may serve a purpose in
giving a turn to affairs in the
Spanish possessions off the coast
of China. Spain would under-
stand in that case that all of the
United States navy was not
needed to clean her out.
The expenditure for the war of
the United States with Mexico
cost this country some $48,000,
000, just $2,000,000 less than the
amount appropriated the other
day by Congress to prepare for
war with Spain. The war of 1812
with Great Britain cost us about
$56,000,000. This information
comes from MullhaU's Dictionary
o( Statistics.
Washington, D. C., April 14.—
The action of the house of rep-
resentatives yesterday in adopt-
ing its declaration upon the His-
pano-American situation made
the senate today the warcenterof
the war elements. The galleries
were packed and thousands were
turned away.
Mr. Hale of Maine presented a
memorial from the National civio
club of Brooklyn calling atten-
tion to the necessity, in the event
of war with Spain, of repealing
some of the present navigation
laws. The laws, as they are at
present, it is said, would prevent
our merchant vessels from sail-
ing under a foreign flag, while
every Spanish merchantman
would be under a French flag.
Our ships would therefoe be prey-
ed upon by Spanish privateers.
Mr. Hale asked that the memo-
rial be referred to the committee
on oommerce, which, he hoped,
would give it thoughtful consid-
eration.
A message was received from
the house transmitting to the
senate the Cuban resolution pass-
ed by the house. By unanimous
oonsent, at the request of Mr.
Davis, chairman of the foreign
relations committee, the resolu-
tion yesterday reported by the
foreign relations committee, was
laid before the senate. Mr. Turn-
er of Washington began a speech
which he sharply criticised
the administration for the "vac-
illating and irresolute, cowardly
and pusillanimous policy pur-
sued by it in the Cuban ques-
tion."
Mr. Turner maintained that
congress could not delegate to
the president the power to make
war. "The congress of the Unit-
ed States is the organized con-
science of the country," said he,
and it is the only yowflr, which
can take the dread step of war."
Mr. Hoar followed Mr. Turner.
He thought the present no time
for impassioned rhetoric and
manifestations of approval of the
war sentiment, He did not feel
disposed to sneer at the expres-
sions of emotion over the out-
rages of the Cuban war, for they
indicated true natures, they call-
ed for his profound respect. As
i:or himself he felt like entering
upon the Cuban question with
the seriousness with which he
would attend church. "If we
are going to enter upon a course
action in Cuba it should be
done as an act of justice hnd not
reveage." Mr. Hoar deprecated
the exhibition of feeling toward
the president who was, he said,
in diplomacy the representative
of all the people and what the
president does we as a people do.
As for himself he not only ap-
proved what the president had
done, but what he had refrained
from doing. Mr. Hoar did not
agree with Senator Foraker that
belligerency should have been
recognized. The recognition
would not have done the insurg-
ents any good and it would have
given the Spaniards authority to
search our ships.
Mr. Turner charged that the
delay of last week was not due to
the request of Gen. Lee, but to
the fact that Archbishop Ireland
had oabled the Vatican in the
hope that the pope might be able
bring about a peaceful solu-
tion of the difficulty. The presi-
dent was waiting upon the pope
and the action was taken to se-
cure that which American diplo-
macy had failed to obtain.
Nine repuluican senators have
agreed to vote for the Turpie
amendment, for recognizing the
independence of the present
Cuban government. The con-
servative senators expect the
house will stand firm for its reso-
lution and if the senate adopts
the Davis resolutions, with or
without the recognition amend-
ment, the conservatives believe
the senate will in the end have to
yield. Senators are anxious for
early action on the Cuban
lutions and are determined to
hold s continuous seesi
there is any disposition to
action by debate.
The senate will not vote on
Cuban reeolutions before
