of Gubu mentis the
parting of cession of Spanish terri
tory, w hieh cannot bo done with
out the consent of the Spanish cor
tee. which will not bo In session
until April 24. Then n counter
propoBltlon ia submitted that the
Cuban matter shall bo settled upon
a basis of equitable among nations.
The United States is said to be
asked to give Spain time to treat
with the insurgents and ascertain
what can be done in the way of a
a peaceful settlement.
Senators who know the nature of the
reply, say it is a very shrewd piece of
diplomacy, and made for its effects upon
the world at large. It is said the reply
is unsatisfactory to the president, and
lie does not believe it will be satisfactory
to congress.
The administration officers feel that
after Monday congress is likely to take
matters into Its own hands, and tho fear
ie expressed that there will be a disa
greement ;e tw lien the branches of the
branches of the government that would
be serious at this critical point. No one
at the capital Iiub undertaken to speak
for the president, although those who
have seen him say that his hope of a
peaceful solution of tho difficulty have
been disappointed by the reply of the
Spanish.
Assistant Secretary of State Day was
in conference with tho president early
this morning. Upon his departure Day
said the administration would give out a
statement later in the day.
Congressional callers began arriving
at the White House early in the day.
Senator Davis had an extended confer
ence with the president and l'richard of
North Carolina, Grosvenor of Ohio, and
ex'Kepresentative Thompson, of Ohio,
were among the visitors. At the con
clusion of the conference Senator Davis
jumped into a carriage hurriedly and
drove off, with the statement that he
could not reveal what had taken place
during tho interview.
In view of the grave significance of
dispatch a reply will not be cabled to
Spain until after the cabinet mooting.
Tho president to several of his closest
friends expressed less confidence in the
ultimate outcome.
Dingloy.the floor leuder in the house,
bad a long interview with tho preeldent
today, and Senators jind representatives
formed a continuous storm of callers up
o the time of the ossein bltmr of tho cab-
'net, but were usually guarded in thoir
expressions after they loft the president,

In connection with the official state

made up by the negotiations between
Spain and the United States will consti
tute the case ns will be submitted to

and it is always the same, timple, hon-
est, curative medicine that has helped
to make the Shakers the healthy, long-
lived people that they are. The Shak
ers never have indigestion. ThiB is
partly owing to their simple mode of
life, nartlv to the wonderful properties
of Shaker Digestive Cordial. Indiges
tion is caused by the Btom.ich glands not
supplying enough digestive juice.
Shuker Digestive Cordial supplies what's
wanting. Shaker Digestive Cordial in
vigorates the stomach and all its glands

help. As evidence of the honesty of

Wasiiinoton, April 1. The senators
aud members of congress who saw the
president todav told him it wa9 not pos
sible for congress to delay the Cuban
question beyond Monday. It was their
opinion that neither Spain nor tho ad
ministration would ba given further
time.
Wasiiinoton, April 1. The renate
foreign relations committee again today
was slow In getting to work. The ap
parent letbergy was duo to the fact that
tho committee Is for the present inclined
to wait entirely upon the executive. The
advocates of this course think the proof
of Spanish instrumentality in the ex
plosion of tho Maine is so strong it could
be made to justify the most radical dec
larations. After adjournment of the committee
niinlrman Davis went to tho
i White House. All tho members wore
noncommittal regarding the proceedings
of the session, but said the committee
could report within thirty minutes after
being called upon to do so.
