McKinley Demands the Independence of Cuba and Must have Answer in that Time. Hostilities May Follow. Washington, March 30 . —The Presi :ent assured a committee of Senators this afternoon that he had given Spain 60 hours to make reply to his note demanding independence. Spain has certified her intention of responding by tomorrow afternoon. This will give plenty of time to intercept the Spanish flotilla should the answer be unfavorable. The Spanish government wired this afternoon asking this govern¬ ment if it would consider any other plan than total independence. The president wired back, “No. 5 ? Mr. Porter, the president’s private secretary today said : “It is natural that all sorts of plans should be discussed. Of all the propositions which has been entertained from time to time, the pres¬ ident has not given a serious thought to any which did not have as its basis the cessation of hostilities in Cuba and the absolute independence of the Island.” Even should Spain intimate her willingness to subscribe to this pj an ^ con gress will grant very little time for its culmination. There Jis no temper of compromise in congress. Eliminate the Cuban question anc j there still stands the Maine disaster growing blacker and bigger the longer congress looks at it. As an evidence of the president’s de¬ termination to let congress handle the matter and make it responsible for the result, he has asked the committe on foreign affairs to appoint a sub-committee to confer with him. The president is asking for only one more day. He sent for Re¬ publicans last night and begged them to hold congress until Thursday. It is not the question of the day or the hours now, but of the minute. Advices have been receive here that, two battleships and one more torpedo destroyer left Spain for Cuba this morning. This is not taken as indicative of any especial desire for peace on the part of Spain. after win * of ' vh ‘ ch - » bo “'; « f “* broad and 3* f <*‘ '» length (from frame .7 to frome 25), is doubled back up m itself against the con- j ioQ f the same p r i at ing ex- tending . ° forward. „ , At frame 18 the vertical keel is broken in two and the flat keel is bent into an angle similar to the angle formed by the outs.de bottom The break ,s now about feet below th « s “ rf “ e * f the Wat " and about 30 feet above it. normal po..t,on.
