"J
i’ IT JAY PASS ITS WAR RESOLU
TION TODAY-
be More Warlike Than the
BUeaolation Passed by the House
Last Wednesday.
F ■■ • "
Washington, April 14—There will
be a continuous session of the senate
until a vote is reached on the war res
olutions, which will not be latjr than
tomorrow night.
In spite of the ‘strength for the
proposition to recognize the Gomes
government, the senate will finally
adopt the majority report of the com
mittee on foreign relations.
The house Teso’.utions are already
dead, not to be resurrected. As be
tween the two sets of reeofutione, the
members of the house reaMy prefer
those of the senate and wifi accept
them in place of their uwo, while the
purpose of the resolutions are the
same. ‘ .
The ronslo’s are by far more serious
and the preamble more in line with
the temper of congress. The Vole for
and against recognition will, be very
close.
■ Considerable resentment is felt in
the senate over the reported statement
from the white house that the presi
dent would vet) any resjlutione,
whatever they might be, in view of
the passage in his message wherein
be turned over the whole_ matter to
congress to settle, expressing bis in
tention to abide by its decision * ’ .
' The hope that Spain will advance
some new proposition and thereby de
lay the day of war or bring us one
nearer a period of peace is fading even
from the .atmosphere of Senator
Elkins, who had persistently adhered
with sublime faith in peace.
The Spanish ipioister has informed
the state department that any resolu
tions which demand the evacuation of
the island under threat of armed inter
vention means war.
The representatives of European
countries SQConetrne the resolutions.
There is a rumor which seems to
come from some well informed source
to the effect that if there is sufficient
delay here the continental powers will
go so far as to make a demand upon
thia government not to land any of its
troops on the island of Cuba.
Senator Davis’report yesterday gave
the powers to understand in clear and
distinct language that this govern
ment would not at any lime brook any
interference with affairs on this con
tinent.
The resolution which will pass the
senate before it adjourns is substan
tially the same as. the majority resolu
tion in the house which was passed
yesterday afternoon by a vole, 322 to
19,»xcept that the Senate resolution
calls also for the immediate evacuation
of Cuba by Spain and brings out She
Maine incident more prominently/
Mobilisation of Soldiers.
Washington, April 13—Complete
arrangements have been made for the
immediate mobilization of practically
the entire military force of the gov
ernmental the Chickamauga nation
al park at the first sign of trouble. It
is expected, in case of necessity, a call
will be issued for about 40,000 troops,
preferably from the national guard of
the different states and territories
General Flagler, chief of the bureau
of ordnance of the army, is bending
every effort toward the supplying of
the Seacoast fortifications with ther ap
id-fire and other formidable guns.
This wav a day of stiriog activity at
the navy and war departments. An
ticipating decisive action by congress,
the machinery of the military and
naval branches of the government was
early pul in motion, and events of
grave significance followed in quick
succession. The first event to become
known was the acquisition by tbe na
vy department of tbe American line
steamships, St. Louis and St. Paul. t It
is said tbe price paid lor them was
$5,000,000.

‘ GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 15, 18M.
Unrepresented in Cuba.
Inquiry at the state department
I discloses the fact that the United
States has no representatives in Cuba
upon whom it cau depend for official
f information in regard to the progress
i of events on that island, and that it
will be compelled to rely, until other
i
1 arrangements are made, on the reports
of the Spanish' government for tofor
mstion iu that lino.
According to an official at the de-*
partment, the British consular officers
in Cuba are expected only to care for
the archives and property of tbe Uni
ted States consulates turned over to
them os the departure of the Ameri
can representatives Saturday, and to
look after tbe interests of the- Ameri
cans still on the island, who may ap
ply to them for protection or redrew.
It ia said to be no part of their duty
to keep the United States state depart
ment informed of political or other
developments in Cuba, and that the 7
department will not call upon them
for any special service of information
unless it becomes absolutely necessary
by stress of circumstances.
It is more than probable, however,
that if anything important should
happen, in which the United States
has a direct interest, tbe British con
sular officers might consider it an act
of friendship or comity touring it to
the attention of tbe Secretary of State,
either through the London foreign of
fice or the British ambassador at
Washington.
Notwithstanding this apparent lack
of facilities for obtaining official infor
mation of affairs on the island, tbe of
ficials of the administration express
confidence in their ability to keep
properly informed of tbe course of
events in Cuba, especially with refer
ence to the developments which may
result from tbe proposition of Spain
for cessation of hostilities on the
island.
The Lord’s Prayer by Booth. <
“I think,” says James O’Neill, in his
talk about the Booths, according to the
Kansas City Times, “the most thrilling
experience I ever passed through was in
New York one time,-wtaa quite by acci
dent a number of foreign diplomats from
Washington, a few American statesmen,
some prominent New Yorkers and one or
two of us professionals were gathered to
gether in a smoking room of the Fifth Av
enue Hotel, when somebody asked Booth,
who by the merest chance happened to be
there, if he would not repeat the Lord’s
Prayer for the assemblage.
”We were all breathless with anxiety, at
least I was, for seldom would he ever re
cite off the stage but at length he arose,
walked to a little cleared space at one end
oi the room and began a recital that even
after all these years makes me thrill
through and through. He said ‘Our
Father,’ and never before had those two
wordu been clothed with the majesty and
reverence with which his look and tone
enveloped them. And then he carried us
in celestial regions, our spirits seeming to
leave our bodies and follow his behest; he
lowered us into depths too dark for Dan
te’s genius to conceive or Dore's pen to
portray; the power exerted over us was
simply unnatural. His musically reson
ant tones sounded slowly through the
room, and as he swayed his lithe body we
unconsciously followed his motion. It
was something horrible, beautifal, terri
ble, fascinating—l cannot find words in the
language to express it. There are none.
„ - “I would not go through the scene
again for a thousand worlds and yet if I
had the oppotunity I would brave any
danger to bear it once more. Do you un
derstand? These few-score words as de
livered by Edwin Booth were the most
powerful argument for Christianity that
I ever heard and could every being on the
face of the globe have heard them there
would no longer be atheism. Booth
strode out of the room when he finished,
and a simultaneous sigh of relief arose,
while without a word we stole away
singly and on tiptoe, and I do not believe
that any of us think of that thrilling eve
ning without a shudder. He was a great
man, a great man.”

Eighty Tears of Misrule.
Righty years ago President Monroe
of Spanish misgovernment of
American possessions:
"Spain’s territory ought not to be
mafie instrumental, through her ins*
bilify to defend it, to purposes so inju
rious to the United Slates. To a
country over which she fails to main
tain her and which she
permits to be converted to the annoy
anc| of her neighbors, her jurisdiction
for'the time necessarily ceases to ex
ist.”
The New York World adds this
timiily comment to President Monroe’s
wise words:
"From that day to this Spain’s ina
bility to defend and govern her Amer
ican possessions has become more and
mote 'instrumental to purposes injuri
ous to the United States.’ From tbe
early fifties until now there has been
an Almost constant revolution in Cuba
During all that time our commercial
interests have been imperiled, our cit
irons have been menaced in their lives
and property, and our government has
been put to enormous trouble and ex
pense to prevent filibustering. Tbe
existence of Spanish misrule iu Cuba
has for 80 years been a menace to our
national welfare and peace. It is high
Lime to end this nuisance once and for
all”
