CHURCH AND STATE.
No Union of the Two Is Desired in
 Deseret.

SALT LAKE, April 1.-The Deseret News today publishes "a three column address to the officers and members Of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints fn conference assembled.
 The address is on the subject of church and state and is signed by Will ford Woodruff, George 0. Cannon and Joseph H. Smith of the first presidency, John Smith, the patriarch, eleven of the twelve apostles, seven members of the first council of the Seventies and three bishops, composing all the high officials of the Mormon church.
 The address says that during the last political excitement the church authorities were in some cases mis- understood and in others misrepre- sented. Continuing, the address says in part: ''We wish to state in the most positive language that at no time has there been an attempt or even a desire to encroach upon the rights of the state. There has not been nor is there the remotest desire on our part ito do anything looking to a union of church and state. In view of the oc- currence to which reference has been made we feel it our duty to clearly de- fine our petition, so there may be no cause hereafter for dispute"

The President Preparing Message
 on the Situation

WASHINGTON, April 7.-Secretary of State yOlney called early this morn ing at the White House and remained in close consultation with the presi- dent long time
 It lis believed the two were enga ged in preparation of a special message to congress relating to Cuba and to be an exposition of the actual state of affairs on the island as revealed in reports from the United States consul and off, cers and other trusted sources of i'm formation. There is a resolution be- fore the president passed at the in stance of Senator Hoar, calling for this information
 It is reasoned that the president in transmitting the information may feel his duty in view of the overwhelming majority by which the Cuban con- cured resolution passed both branches of congress and to make plain state ment showing that regardless of the sympathy he may feel personally for the insurgents, he is absolutely bound by facts as he sees them, by precedent and by the dictates of the international law to persist in his attitude
