Citadel Trouble Serious.
Charleston, April 7.—By to
morrow afternoon the cadets who
figured in the mutiny at the Cita
del academy last Monday night
will know their fate. They all
expect to be dismissed and are
making preparations to that end.
Many have written home tehing
of the trouble and of the probable
result of the meeting of the board
of visitors.
The board met this morning at
10 o’clock and after being in ses
sion for more than three hours ad
journed to meet again at 4 o’clock,
when another long session was
held. The action of the board
will be made known to-morrow.

“In making the report that has
caused this trouble,” said Cadet
Canty, “I did not make it as an in
dividual, but as a representative
from a number of cadets. The re
port was made to Captain Bond,
the officer in charge, and I stated
to him that if it was a report I
ought not to make, he should not
take auy notice of it. } knew
that five of the cadets had broken
garrison for I saw them from my
room window in the Armory of
the Sumter Guards, and in mak
ing the report I thought I was
acting conscientiously and doing
my duty.”
* * * *
The members of the faculty will
not talk to newspaper men, but in
conversation frith friends, it is
learned, many of them expressed
themselves as being in sympathy
with Cantey.
The cadets who participated in
last Monday night’s rebellion havo
taken a firm stand and oat of the
75 men who signed the resolutions
to eject Cantey from the Citadel
not one has weakened. They de
clare in most vigorous English
that Cadet Cantey acted without
authority in making the report
and that it was done altogether
through passion and spite and not
through a sense of duty.—The
State.

THE ADMINISTRATION THINKS
SO ANYWAY.
A Note From the Groat P»wen« and Resi
dent McKinley's Keply—General i.-e to
Leave Havana To-morrow.
“Washington, April 7—There
is no longer any doubt as to the
purposes of this government with
respect to the situation in Cuba.
War. ir. the opinion of the admin
istration, is inevitable except in
the unlocked for event of a sur
render on the part of Spain. The
President’s message which had
been intended to send to Congress
yesterday has not been changed in
any particular, and embodies the
unanimous views of the cabiuet
without the slightest variance or
exception., Auy movement to
avert war now must come from
Madrid, and must concede Ameri
can demands,including an end to
Spain’s dominion in Cuba.
Three features stand out plainly
in the developments of the day.
At noon the six great powers of
Europe, through their representa
tives here, called at the white
house and presented to President
McKinley a joint note, expressing
argent hope for a peaceful adjust
ment between the United States
and Spain, to /which the President
replied with ^ftnystaknyble plain
ness as'to th
endeavors of this governihent ..
terminate the insufferable condi
tions in Cuba.
Another, and probably the most
significant actual step, showing
the finality reached by the United
Btates government, was the authori
tative statement that Consul Gen
eral Lee wonld leave Havana on
Saturday. This step it is known,
will be regarded by Spain as akin
to an overtact, preceding war, as it
will terminate the medium of offi
cial interconse between the United
States and the island.
Thirdly, and most equally im
portant, was the ominous tone of
press advices from Madrid, whore
the war fever seemed to have
dominated, instead of the conces
sions, the opening of prison doors
and other manifestations of peace
and good will which Holy Thurs
day was expected to bring forth,
and the more definite announce
ment of action that would bring
to Cuba. The heavy guard about
Minister Woodford's house, the
imperative character of the last
note, the war utterauce of Minis
ter Correo and the turbulence at
the Spanish capital left little hope
that pacific councils would prevail.
No negotiations are proceeding in
Madrid on the part of this govern
ment, but the powere of Europe,
it is understood, are doing their
utmost to persuade the Spanish
government to yield and avert war.
On the highest authority, it can be
stated that no instructions have
been given as yet to Minister
Woodford, contemplating his with
drawal, the only step in that di
rection being the determination of
Consul General Lee to leave Ha
vana on Saturday.
It was stated in a high diplomatic
quarter to-day that the action of
the representatives of the great
powers of Europe framed at the
British embassy Tuesday night
and exclusively through the Asso
ciated Press, was communicated to
the United States government last
evening. The representatives of
the powers called on President Mc
Kinley at noon to-day. The
governments of Great Britain,
France, Germany, Austria, Russia
and Italy were presented.
The president received his dis
tinguished visitors in the blue
room. Sir Julian Pauncefote
acted as spokesmau. He said:
“Mr. President: We have been
commanded by the great powers |
of Europe, whom we represent here
to-day, to present your excellency I
with n message of friendship and
peace at the present critical junc
ture in the relations between the
United States and Spain, and con
vey to you tho sentiments ex
pressed by the collective note,
which I have the honor to place
in your hands.”
The note is as follows:
“The undersigned, representa
tives of Germany, Austria-Hun
gary, France, Great Britain, Italy
and Russia, duly authorized in
that behalf, address, in the name
of their respective governments, a
pressing appeal to the feelings of
.humanity and moderation of the
president and of the American
people, in their existing differ
ences with Spain. They earnestly
hope that further negotiations
will lead to an agreement, which,
while securing the maintenance of
peace, will afford all necessary
guarantee for the re establishment
of order in Cuba. The powers do
not doubt that the humanitarian
and purely disinterested character
<4 ♦his representation will be fully
recognized and appreciated by the
American nation. .
THE PRESIDENT’S REPLY.
The reply of President McKinley
was as follows:
“The government of the United
States recognizes the good will
dation
fives of Germany, Austria-nan*
gary, France, Great Britain, Italy
and Russia, as set forth in the ad
dress of your excellencies, and
shares the hope therein expressed
that the outcome of the situation
in Cuba may be the maintenance
of peace between the United States
and Spain by affording the neces
sary guarantee for the re-establish
ment of order in the island, ao
terminating the chronic condition
of disturbance there, which so
deeply injures the interests and
menaces the tranquility of the
American nation by the character
and consequences of the struggle
thus kept up at our doors, besides
shocking its sentiment of humani
ty.
“The government of the United
States appreciates the humanitar
ian and disinterested character of
the communication now made on
behalf of the powers named, and
for its part ia coxfident that equal
appreciation will be shown for ita
own earnest and unselfish endeav
ors to fulfill a duty to humanity
by ending a situation the indefi
nite prolongation of which has be
come insufferable.”
Sentimeat in Spain.
Loudon, April 7.—A special dis
patch from Madrid says that the
ambassadors of France, Germany,
Russia and Italy waited together
this afternoon upon SenorGullon,
the foreign minister, and present
ed a joint note in the interest of
peace-
Senor Gallon, replying, declared
that (according to the dispatch)
the members of the Spanish cabi
net were unanimous in consider
ing that Spain had reached “the
limit of international policy in
the direction <rf conceding the de
mands and allowing the preten
sions of the United States.”
Attention Sons of VeterariH.
On Saturday afternoon at 4
o’clock a meeting will be held at
the court house for the purpose of
organizing a camp of Sons of Con
federate Veterans. Let as many
sons of veterans as possibly can
