TIME FOR THE PRESIDENT,
Boards of Trade Don't Want Him Hur'
ried-Postmasters Held Up.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 4.-Spe-
cial.-In response 10 the Presidents APP
peal last week numerous kilograms were
received here from a large number OF
Boards OF Trade of the country asking
senator's and repre- seutatives 10 give the
President all the time he wants TO COM
plete negotiations before sending In ms
message.
Among these was one from Hon. JET
fcrsOn Levy. of Monticello, 10 Representa-
tive Hay. counselling moderation. ard re-
auesting that the President should be
given all the he wants 10 arrive, II pos
slble at a peaceful solution OF the pend
ing grave situation.
il is stated that there are over one
hundred commissions Of postmasters who
have been confirmed on the President
desk 10 be signed. and that owing 10 the
diplomatic pressure consequent on the Gu
ban situation they were sent back 10 the
Postmaster-General's office. so that the
appointees could be advised, and 10 be
there held until the President was ready
TO attach his signature.
This Is why Wray Knight ana j. NJ.

their commissions.
Senator Pritchard said I'm regard 20 the

Intensity had been added by the almost
frivolous manner in which the disaster
had been treated by Spain. The only hon
orable action for this country now to
take was TO intervene and free Cuba from
the yoke OF Spain.
Mr.. Mantle (Montana) followed with an
extended speech upon the absorbing topic
OF Cuba, in which he declared that ne
favored the independence Of the Cuban
people, who. for years, had been strug-
Cling for their freedom. Il would said
he. give my unqualified endorsement and
vote iTil favor of directing the President
to use the armed forces, both land and
naval to suppress the savagery that is
now rampant upon that fair island.
The time for action had arrived. and
the sooner it was taken the better IL
would be for all concerned.
DOESN'T WANT PEACE.
Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, said the case
between Spain and the United States was
made up. IL was no longer for the
Executive to decide what course TO pur-
sue With Congress rested the respon-
sibility Of declaring war, and as this
was the pressing duty the President was
no longer the party 90 be criticised II any
one was 20 he. Congress can, If 1t Will,
he said decide to have peace with Incl
dental outrage and clandestine murder
As for himself, he did not choose to ac-
cept peace under such circumstances.
Mr. Rawlins opposed further delay. The
destruction OF the Maine and the clan
destine murder OF 266 of our sailors had
occurred forty-oight days since; but this
was not all For three years the Span
ish authorities had been imprisoning and
numbering American citizens. or these
facts the Executive doubtless had been
fully advised by the consular reports,
but these reports had been withheld on
the plea that IL would endanger the
safety Of our officials I'm Cuba to give
them out. If this was true, II revealed
a wretched state of affairs.
Continuing, Mr. Rawllns said delay had
been sought last week by the friends
OF the President on the plea that a mes
sage was soon to be sent In from the
President which would meet all the de-
mands of the country. At the same timo
the private and confidential secretary of
the President was sending a message TO
his friends urging them to the utmost
exertion to bring pressure 10 bear to Sc
cure peace.
Mr.. Rawlins criticised "our halting
policy" i'm strong language, saying that
it was such as 20 Justify Spain in hold
ing the United states in contempt. He
added that the crime of the explosion Of
the Maine was due Ito our own indie
cision and cOwardice." and that such an
act would never have been perpetrated
upon any other nation.
In conclusion, Mr.. Rawlins made an
argument for an absolute declaration Of
war instead of a declaration for armed
intervention.
The sundry civil appropriation tn was
then taken up.
At o'clock the Senate went into ex-
ecutive session. and soon afterward ad-
journed.

mas carefully compared the handwrit-
ing with the scrawl on the wrapper of

emphatically that the letter and the
address on the box of candy were writ
ten py the same person, and they are
reasonably certain that the ANONYMOUS
letter was written by Mrs. Botkin.
