PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
How IL Was Received at Havana-some
Uneasiness Felt.


New York, Dec. S.-A dispatch to The
Tribune from Havana says; Presi-
dent McKinley's message is received
quietly. Satisfaction is felt in official
circles over the statement that the rec
ognition of either belligerency or inde-
pendence is not justifiable under pres
ent conditions. The credit which the
president gives for conducting the war
on humane principles and for improv-
ing the condition OF the reconcentrados
will strengthen Captain General Blanco
in carrying out this policy.
The official feeling may be summar-
lied in the statement that the govern
rnent does not now fear the embarrass-
ment which might come from action py
the United States before instructions
from Madrid could be carried into et-
feet. The hint Of ultimate interven-
tion causes some uneasiness and dis
cussion has already arisen over what
is meant by reasonable time, but pal
ace officials do not interpret 1t as like
ly to prevent the application OF auto
nomy within the time needed Tor car
rving out the details OF the system as
directed from Madrid.
Autonomists, reformists, and conserv-
atives who support Sagasta and Blan-
co will make the message the basis OF a
movement for the early union OF all
parties to uphold the hands of the gov
| ernment in it's colonial policy. Com
| mercial interests are pleased with the
pacific tone of the message. though not
taking 1t as a conclusive settlement.
The ultra-Spanish party is dissatis-

the United States to intervene at fut-
ure time IL peace is not re-established
| under autonomy as en- unjustifiable in
reference with Spain's sovereignty. III
also resents the reference to hlibuster-
| ing.
The general comment Is that the
message leaves the question of the re-
| lations of the United States to SPAN
and Cuba about where II was before

the Message.

Washington, Dec. S.-The ways and
means committee held a meeting at
which a resolution was agreed upon for
the distribution of the presidents mes
sage 10 the various committees having
jurisdiction.
In a large measure reference OF the
several questions dealt with in the mes
sage is formal and the jurisdiction OF
the committee is beyond question, but
II was very significant that the presi-
dents recommendations with regard to
the currency and the retirement OF the
greenbacks were divided. Only those
matters strictly relating to banking
and currency are to go to that commit
tee by the terms of the resolution. The
question OF retiring the greenbacks and
OF the reduction Of the tax on national

means committee. This indicates that
IL any legislation is to be proposed In
line with the presidents recommenda-
tions II will come from the ways and
