Vessels bent to Havana to Bring off American Citizens. Washington, April 0. The mes sage k ready, making about 7,000 word, and has been approved by the cabinet. It recommends armed Itter yentlon (but so far as known with out stating that this should be Im mediate) by the United States, to prevent hostilities. It makes an argument against the recognition of independence at this time, and leaves It clear that, in the opinion of the administration, it Is the duty of this government to supervise the affairs of the island until In the light of fuller and later knowledge, a stable government can be established. The attitude of congress in this policy cannot be foretold in advance of its official promulgation in the president's message. The safety of General Lee. of the consuls and other Americans in Cuba Is a n'atter of concern to the state department, but advices from General Lee Indicate that the transportation of all Americans from Cuba would take more tlme.and apparently showed that he did not share In full the ap prehension felt here. London, April 6. A dispatch from Rome 1 lys a telegram received at the Vatican from the United States an anounccs the failure of the pope's in tervention. New York, April 0.- European In terference In American affairs will not be tolerated says the Washington cor respondent of the Herald. There will be no meditation of the differ ences between the United States and Spain, for the administration will not accept It. Believing such acceptance might establish a precedent for future Interference in questions to which the United States may be a party, and In line with the historic policy enun ciated by President Monroe, opposing European meddling with affairs affect ing this government, the administra tion has decided that If there Is to be meditation it must be with Spain for the independence of Cuba, and not mediation between the United Stales and Spain, Washington, April 6. Vessels have been dispatched to Ilayana to take off General Lee and our consular officers, as well as all Americans who desire to leaye the Island. The treasury department has tele graphed the quarantine officer at Ha vana directing him to permit all Amerscans who desire to leave Ha vana to do so without certificates or examination. Medical examination will be made at the Florida coast. General Lee notified the state de partment that If war Is declared Americans will be unable to leave Cuba before Sunday. Rome, Apiil 0. It is aulhorltively said the pope's proposed terms of me diation are such as can be accepted by Spain and supported by United States Minister General Steward Woodford in forwarding them to President Mc ley. The pope's initiative Is based wholly on the fact that Spain, Alien she asked for the good offices of the powers, also asked for the pope's good offices. The interposition of the pon tiff has thus far been confined to ef forts to bring about an armistice be tween Spain and the Insurgents. London, April 0. The movement of the powers of Europe for a joint offer of mediation between the United States and Spain has received a severe and probably fatal rebuff in the form of a definite refusal upon the part of Great Britain to participate In It. A Hot Time in That's what there is in store, but don't burn your fingers on so-called bargains, closing out sales and cheap goods, Before you invest a cent, investigate our stock and low cut prices, O. F. DABKBY, THE According to a special dispatch from Rome, the pope is "disappointed at the reception of his overtures in America, but Is not discouraged." The dispatch adds: "This morning his holiness d's patched a cable of 500 words to Arch bishop Ireland urging Increased ef forts In tne Interest of peace and fur ther Immediate representations to President McKinley. An important conference has been called for. Arch bishop Kcane and Monsignor O'Con nell will attend." London, April 0 The Paris cor respondent of the Dally Mall sayn: "I learn on excellent authority that the Spanish reply to President McKinley Is regarded as a move to gain time and to avoid replying di rectly to the American ultimatum. Spam will now find the means of yielding, while saving her dignity and self-respect." London, April 6, The Rome corre spondent of the Daily Mail says: Archbishop Ireland lias cabled de preciating a formal offer of Interven tion, and explaining that the pope could only intervene successfully by recognizing the Monroe doctrine, which will be Impolite. A rumor is current here that Em peror William first broached the Idea of papal mediation and was warmly seconded by Austria. The solution the Vatican proposes Is an armistice to save Spanish troops during the rainy season, allay excite ment on both sides and prepare tho way for Cuban Independence in the autumn, bpaln Is agreeable to this, but there Is little hope that the Cuban Insurgents or their American sympa thizers will accede to the proposal. New York, April 6. A World dis patch from St. Vincent, Cape "Verde islands, says: The Spanish torpedo flotilla, under command of Commodore Yillamil, la still here Three of tho torpedo ves sels arrived In one day, three others later, and then the transport came. No more are expected. They are now In good order. There are seven ves seli In all three torpedo-boats, three torpedo-destroyers, and a merchant ship converted Into an auxiliary crui ser, the Cludad de Cadiz. New York, April 0. -A dispatch to the World, from San Juan De Porto Rice, who announces the arrival there of the Spanish cruisers VIzcaya and Almlrante Oquendc, which left Ha vana on Friday last. London, April 0. Lieutenant John Knapp took command of the new cruiser Diogenes, transfcrlng the command of the new American tor pedo boat Somers to Acting Ensign Ilazletou, The Diogenes will pro ceed to Weymouth, today and the two vessels will sail for New York together. Washington, April 0. The gov ernment has dispatched a fleet of six vessels to Havana to transport Consul-General Lee and all the United States consular officers, together with all Americans now in Havana and vicinity who desire to leave the Island. The names of the vessels are: The Bache, Fern aud Mongrove, all government tenders; the Olivette and Mascotte, of the Plant system.and the steamship City of .Key West, which has also been chartered and will form part of this fleet. In addition to these vessels, Consul-General Lee Is author ized to charter as many other mer chant vessels now In navana harbor, as he may deem necessary, for the safe transport of American citizens. Wasinoton, April 0. The first act of war is looked for within a week. and the United States will be prepared not only for a nayal conflict, but for an invasion of Cuba besides. This plan of attack on nayana outlined by General Grant to Adam Badeau 20 years ago has cot been forgotten. It has been carefully examined by General Miles, and preparations haye the Old Town, FAIR ! been made to follow It. With the declaration of war, or formal recog nition of tho existence of hostilities, will go orddrs for tho transportation of u larfe body of troops to Cuba. It Is not alone on tho navy that de pendence will bo placed, but cyery effort will be made to capture and hold the ports of Cuba and Porto Rice In order to shut off Spain's coal supply at the outset. The base of naval operations will be Hampton Roads, Key West and Port Royal. Every vessel In the fleets on the At lantic and Gulf coasts has been stripped for actlou. Every com mander has his orders, and a complete plan of campaign has been prepared. Of course, the navy department Is guarding all these plans with tho greatest care, and this secrecy will be continued. The latest report In this connection m that the flying squadron will not bo sent to sea Immediately in case of war, but will remain at Ilampton Roads to guard the mouth of Chesa peake, bay which is the key to Balti more. Richmond, Norfolk and the na tional capital. The naval strategy board has urged that the flying squadron be sent to St Thomas at once, because the fleel would then be within two hours of Porto Rice, and In case of the break ing out of hostilities would be In a position to strike a powerful blow at the enemy, It Is said that President McKinley refused to countenance the order, as he considered it would bo construed as an open demonstration of warlike Intentions. Naval officers believe that It would only be necessary to The Union The essential features of the Union platform are t 1. Independent American Bimetallism and opposi tion to the Gage policy . . 2, Direct legislation and direct election of senators, 3, Postal savings banks, 4, A wellguared registration law, 5, Reduction in salaries, These are plain propositions that all fpeople can utv derstand, Read the entire platform, &x, 3LYssrJNBNVssTrNKjssaNiss'WsKvarNVsV hold the flying squadron at Hampton Roads for a few days, as position for submarine mines at the mouth of the James rlyer are now laid out, and the work of laying wires to keyboards at the capes and Fort Monroe is com pleted. The mines could be put down In a few hours, and would be ample defense against any Spanish fleet. Mediation a Failure. Washington, April 0.The state ment was lniide by a public man In close touch with tho administration that the effort to secure a settlement of the war between Spain and the In surgents through an armistice has en in e to a definite conclusion, and that the failure was duo to the refusal of the government of tho United States to remove Its fleet from ICey West. According to this statement, Spain made the removal u condition prece dent to her offering an armistice, with the end In view of granting the lndependcne of Cuba. Tills proposi tion was met with refusal, 'though not until after it had been seriously con sidered. The congressional opponents of a war policy, who had counted upon tho acceptance of this condition by the United States, admit that the out look for peace has grown almost hope less since this determination. Some diplomats have suggested a meeting of representatives In Wash ington of the European powers, In or der to see If something can rot be done to preserve peace. It Is felt by di plomats who desire even mediation that any move must bo made quickly. Archbishop Ireland called at the state department, aud was Immedi ately conducted to Judge Day's room. At noon Judge Day said there had been offered no mediation or Inter vention by the other powers, wneat uoes up. London, April 0.-A dispatch la the Daily Mall from Odessa savs that. ow - Wheat Goes Up. ing tome American war 6care, the price of wheat is rapidly rising there, the stocks being small, Starvation Inevitable. Nanaimo, B. C, April 0. George F. TUton, third officer of the steam whaler Belviderc, who has Just reached the outside world from the vessels imprisoned In the Ice, says the steam tender Jeanle, steam whalers Orca and Belvldere, the schooner Ro sarloanda bark are near Point Barrow. He says the men on the frozen -in ves sels are suffering untcld prlvat'ons on account of tho scarcity of provisions, and arc compelled to feed on the rank est sort of Ush and dog meat, Tllton came south by way of tho Mackenzie and Yukon rivers, and was just-five months and 22 days making the trip of 2000 miles to the Pacific coast, during which time he ana his Indian guides suffered excruca ting agony from the Intense cold. On his way out Tllton met Lieutenant Jarylsand the overland relief expedi tion. He directed them to the point at which the fleet Is frozen in, .but it was thought best that ho continue on his way to St. Michaels, In order to make known the safety of tho men of the licet. Tllton, after bidding farewell to his comrades, communed his long acd dangerous voyage, aud when he reached the coast chartered a steamer to carry him aud his guides to Juneau to await a south-bound vessel. lie was Intercepted north of faltka by the Albion, was transferred to her and came south. The United States relief expedition steamer Bear, which is at Dutch har bor, has not as yet been of any assist ances to the Ill-fated whalers, who have been Ice bound since October 10. No deaths has occured among the Platform whalers when Tllton started t-outh. Speaking of the prospect of tho whalers, he said that beyond a oubt the vessels would be total wrecks. As soon as tho Ice breaks they will be ground Into matchwood, and nothing of them will ever be seen again. The suffering whalers do not know that any effort has made to relieve them. There Is a poslbillty that aid may be rushed overluud by the route Tiltoh followed. News From Andree. Seattle, April 0. A telegram to tho Assoclatrd Pres3 from Nanaimo, B. C, says that Jack Carr, United States mail carrier, arrived lierc to day from St. Michaels, Alaska, via Dawson City. Carr claims to have a message from Andree, one of his carrier pigeons having been picked up. It Is stated that the message says that Andree Is ullve and on land. Curr will not give out the message for publication. Sev eral parties at Nanaimo claim to have seen tho message, and they 6ay that it Is to all appearances authentic, Full credence Is not given to the report here. Ex-Mayor W. D. Wood, who arrived from Dawson a few days ago, states that he saw Carr ut Dawson. Carr said nothing about Andreo to him. From other sources Wood heard some vague references to Andree, but con sidered them without foundation. Carr eft St. Michaels last Thanks giving day. Arrested as a Spy, Pouto Rice, April 0.
