Justification
Giving an Actual Casus Belli.
New York, N. Y., April 13.—At present
the policy of the state department is in
accordance with precedents established
by former administrations, and the gen-
eral granting of letters of marque to pri-
vateers will not be advocated in case of
war with Spain, says the Washington
correspondent of the Herald.
While , no, authoritative statement can
be obtained on the subject, it is certain
that the administration believes that in-
Washington, D. C., April 13.—Gen. Lee
met with the strategy board today,
stated they went over the entire question
of offensive and defensive movements to
be carried out in the event of hostilities.

SENATE COMMITTEE.
Washington, D. C., April 13.—The senate
committee on foreign relations did not
begin business until 11 o’clock and the
meeting is understood to be merely formal,
as the essential work of preparing its re-
port and formulating the resolutions to
be presented had been practically com-
pleted yesterday.
There are some additions to the report
on account of Gen. Lee’s testimony, but
these are not material, as his statement
did not add anything to the committee’s
real stock of information.
SUIT FOR TAXES.
In the district court this afternoon City
Attorney Smith filed tax suits against the
following persons: F. Ennis, James Owen,

PORTO RICO DISORDERS.
New York, N. Y., April 13.—Advices to
the Herald from Porto Rico are to the ef-
fect that the populace is still excited over
the elections, which resulted in a Liberal
majority of 25. On Tuesday the governor
issued a proclamation against disorder.
Four newspapers charge fraud in the elec-
tions.
One hundred and fifty persons through-
out the island have been arrested. Three
were killed and 26 wounded in Cayeym
and elsewhere. Senor Juan Raymos has
gone to Spain to present the Liberal cause
in the cortes.
The people are aggravated by the prob-
ability of rebellion. If military authority
was restricted and more scope given to
autonomy international peace would be
assured.

The majority and minority reports will
be made to the house within an hour or
two, the minority of the committee having
been unable to agree fully with the con-
clusions of the Republicans. The minor-
ity of the house committee agreed to these
resolutions as substitute for that of the
majority: It recognizes the independence
of Cuba, directs the president to use the
land and naval forces, of the United States
to maintain this independence and author-
izes the chief executive to extend imme-
diate relief to the starving Cubans.
The majority resolutions are preceded
by the following:
“Whereas, the government of Spain for
three years past has been waging war on
the island of Cuba against the revolution
by the inhabitants thereof without mak-
ing any substantial progress towards the
suppression of said revolution and has
conducted the war in a manner contrary
to the law of nations by methods inhuman
and uncivilized, causing death by starva-
tion of more than 200,000 innocent non-
combatants, the victims being for the
most part helpless women and children,
inflicting intolerable injury to the com-
mercial interest of the United States, in-
volving the destruction of lives and prop-
erty of many of our citizens, entailing the
expenditure of millions of dollars in pa-
trolling our coasts and policing the high
seas in order to maintain our neutrality;
“And whereas, this long series of losses,
injuries and burdens for which Spain is
responsible, has culminated in the destruc-
tion of the United States battleship Maine
in the harbor of Havana and in the death

“When property and life are destroyed
by an act in which the exercise of due
diligence by the person whose duty it is
to use it, could have prevented the hap-
pening of such event, it is sufficient proof
that diligence was not employed.”
The time of the explosion, says the re-
port, “must have been calculated for the
moment when the Maine should swing
within the destructive radius of the mine.”
Concluding this portion of its presenta-
tion, the committee says: “The duplicity,
perfidy and cruelty of the Spanish char-
acter as they always have been, are
demonstrated and still continue by their
manifestations during the present war in
Cuba. All these circumstances, considered
accumulatively, warrant the conclusion
that the destruction ofthe Maine was
compassed either by an official act of
Spanish authorities (an ascertainment of
particular person is not material) or was
made possible by negligence on their
part so willing and gross as to be equiva-
lent in culpability to positive criminal ac-
tion.”
The reading of the report occupied 47
minutes.
Mr. Hoar demanded that the resolution
lie over under the rule until tomorrow.
The chair decided the point well taken.
Senator Turpie presented a report of the
minority committee as follows: “The un-
dersigned members of the committee on
foreign relations cordially concur in the
report made upon the Cuban resolutions,
but we favor immediate recognition of the
republic of Cuba as organized in that
island as a free, independent and sover-
eign power among the nations of the
world.” It was signed by Senators Tur-
pie, Mills, Daniels and Foraker.
Senator Foraker secured recognition
and proceeded to discuss the Cuban ques-
tion on its general merits.
All Cuban resolutions have gone over
in the senate, but talk on Cuba continues
nevertheless. Senator Lodge in a speech
declared that Lee advised the foreign re-
lations committee against recognizing the
insurgent government.

tervention can be secured, if congress
acts in accordance with the recommenda-

sage, within the strict limits of interna-
tional law by reason of the damages sus-
tained by citizens of the United States in
the island of Cuba and by the United
States itself in the loss of the Maine.
The delegation to the president of the
right to intervene would be in line with
the powers granted in the cases of Algiers
and Tripoli and would carry, as incidental
to it, the right to grant letters of marque
and reprisal and to use the government
war vessels for purposes of reprisal, with-,
out giving Spain a just cause for a decla-
ration of war and without constituting an
act of war upon the part of the United

The war has upset a good many plans
and disturbed the serenity of a good many
households. And, among other things,
two Easter weddings have had to be an-
ticipated because the grooms are naval
officers and' have been ordered to sea.
One of them took place last night. Lieut.
Albert L. Key, son of Judge D. M. Key,
of Chattanooga, who was postmaster gen-
eral in the Hayes cabinet, was married
quietly to Miss Grace Condit Smith at the
home of her mother on Capitol Hill. It
was to have been a gorgeous affair at the
Church of the Epiphany,.jwith six grooms-
men and six bridesrq.aids,..a reception and
all that sort of thing, but yesterday Lieut.
Key, who was on duty at Annapolis, called
up his bride elect on the long distance tele-
phone and told her that he was ordered to
sea, and must leave’ Witliin 24 hours, so
that the wedding, which was fixed for
April 12, must be ^postponed or antici-
pated. The brave girl replied, as brides
always do, that sh,^ coujd not think of
letting him go to sea until after they were
married, and suggested that the wedding
take place at her home that evening. He
jumped on the first train that left An-
napolis, reached Washington late in the
afternoon, Bishop Satterldfe was sent for,
the ceremony was quietly performed last
evening, and the bride and groom started
for New York, where they can be together
a day or two before his ship sails for Key
West. ‘ In the meantime the bride’s mother
and sister are sending out cards of ex-
planation to those who were invited to
the wedding.

Madrid, April 13.—As a result of a long
cabinet council last night the Spanish
war office is actively engaged fortifying
and manning the Mediterranean Islands of
Spain and in placing other portions of
the kingdom in a state of defense.
The cabinet meeting was mainly de-
voted to consideration of President Mc-
Kinley’s message to congress on the
Cuban situation. When the ministers ad-
journed an official note was issued, set-
ting forth fhe views of the government.
The cabinet granted an extraordinary
credit for war purposes and incidentally
increased the grant for the account of
artillery at Porto Rico. Premier Sagasta
designated two .ministers to immediately
draw up an address to the crown. Senor
Gullon read a report of the text of Presi-
dent McKinley’s message.
The cabinet affirms that the govern-
ment refuses to acknowledge the right of
the United States to interfere in Cuba,
adding: “The doctrines contained in. the
message are incompatible with the sover-
eignty and rights of the nation and are
an interference in the internal affairs
of this country.”
The Spanish government, however, ex-
presses the view that it is not called upon
to take action until the recommendations
of President McKinley become a specific
act. Thus, it is considered by the Span-
iards here, that matters are practically as
they were before the message was sent to
congress, and the opinion is expressed in
official circles that neither, the message
nor last night’s cabinet meeting has
changed the prospects of peace.
The Spanish government considers that
apart from its solemn affirmation of
Spain’s rights as a nation, the ministers
are not. called upon to make any declara-
tions so long as the resolutions of con-
