mittee has agreed upon report prac-
tically the Foraker resolution declar-
ing the independence and Intervention
with an amendment fixing the respon-
sibility for the destruction of the Maine
upon Spain either by design or criminal
negligence. The house foreign affairs
committee will report if possible a res
olution in line with the presidents rec
concentrations and it is known efforts
are being made to have the resolutions
of both committees agree with the
presidents wishes.
More Auxiliary Cruisers.
With the exception of the purchase of
ten steamships for use as auxiliary
cruisers, the day was devoid Of devel-
opments in the military and naval
branches Of the government. There
were the usual constant conferences
between the various bureau chiefs of
both departments and both Secretaries
Long and Alger had numerous callers
from the capitol. No orders, it was
stated, have been sent to either the
fleet at Key West or the squadron at
Hampton Roads and no confirmation
could be obtained of the report that sea
orders have been sent the battleship
Texas at New York. Secretary Long
held a brief conference with Secretary
Alger during the afternoon and left the
department shortly after o'clock,
much earlier than has been his custom
for the pats few weeks. Up to the hour

advices had been received regarding
any movements of any Spanish fotilla
or other Spanish vessels. Neither had
the department been advised of any de-
velopments to purchase warships
abroad
Lack of Ammunition.
The ordnance department still lacks
ammunition for the seacoast fortifica-
tions and the extra allotment will be
used for this purpose. 1t has been de-
cided to detain for time at the Chick
amauga battlefield the Twenty fifth
regiment of infantry which is about to
leave the various forts in Montana for
service at Key West and Dry Tortugas.
The reason for this action is said to
be the fact that the water supply is
not sufficient at present. Chickamauga
General Miles says is an excellent place
for the concentration of large body
of troops and it is believed the location
has been seriously considered by Secre-
tary Alger as a point for the prelim-
mary gathering of troops in case of
war. The navy department was in
formed late this afternoon of the ar
rival of the dynamite Vesuvius at Nor
folk to-day from Washington.

Discussion on Delay of Foreign Relations
Committee in Reporting.
Washington, April Am the execu-
tive session of the senate there was
some discussion on the delay of the for
eign relations committee in presenting
it's report on the Cuban question and
the statement was made on behalf of
the committee that the report would be
submitted Wednesday,; that it was now
ready, and had been practically so for
two or three days. 1t was also stated
that Judge Day had said late to-day
that the message from the president
could not be sent in before Wednesday,
Senator Mason asked if the consular
correspondence was to be supplied with
the message, and Senator Morgan,
speaking for the committee, said it was
not to be furnished at the same time
for the reason that the president con-
sidered it unsafe to print the report of
the consuls until they were withdrawn.

M,KINLET,S MESSAGE.
Officially Stated That Congress VIII Have
1T To-morrow.
(Received at 3 a. m.)

Received at a. m.)
Washington, April 4.-The president
has completed his Cuban message and
it will be presented to congress on
Wednesday. Secretary Long after the
special cabinet meeting tonight
authorized the Associated Press to
make this statement: 'The message,
which is long, will not be accompanied
by the consular reports dealing with
the state of affairs in Cuba. These
will go to the committee on foreign re-
lations for their private information
and will not be made public just now.
The diplomatic correspondence will not
be submitted"
The cabinet meeting lasted from
until after II o'clock and was devoted
to the presidents draft of his message.
Every member of the cabinet was pres
ent. The document was gone over
point by point with the approval of
the cabinet in every respect. When the
meeting was over and the members
dispersed there was a general air of re-
lief and satisfaction on all faces as
Though they had been cleared of doubt
and the members firmly resolved on
what they deemed the proper course
of action, had set out to follow the
course of the president. 1t was learn
ed from other sources that the mes
sage is in part review of Spain's
course in the present and previous
wars in Cuba. That it will contain
some definite recommendations may be
inferred from the remark of one mem
ber: "While 1 can say nothing ex-
plicit concerning the details of the
message said he, 81 may say that
it is a strong, explicit statement and
one with which congress will be thor
oughly in accord

SHIPS ORDERED TO HAVANA
THE BACHE And MANGROYE RE-
CEIVE ORDERS TO SAIL,

1t is Assumed at Key West That the Ves-
sells Go to Afford Safe Egress for Ameri-
can Citizens Should Riot Occur-The
Fern is Still at Havana-Naval Officers
Chatting Over the Delay and Suspense in
the Spanish Trouble-The Stupendous
Amount of Work at Key West.
Key West, Fla, April 4.-Acting un-
der orders from Washington, Captain
Sampson, commander of the United
States fleet in these waters, sent the
survey boat Bache to-day from the
Tortugas to Havana. Her sailing or
ders were dispatched late this after
noon over the new cable, and an hour
later the Bache was on her way to
Cuba. 1t is assumed here that she
goes to afford a mode of safe egress
for American citizens should a riot oc
cur in Havana or war be declared The
survey boat Blake, now in this harbor,
was also ordered to proceed to Havana,
but these instructions We're counter
manded before she got away. The Fern
is still at Havana, but her accommo-
dations are very limited. Naval Off
cials here chafe over the delay and
suspense in settling the relations with
Spain. One of them said: IF we are
going to fight why, let us fight now
and be done with it,
The monitor Terror and the cruiser
| Marblehead coaled at the dock to-day
A serious accident to the coal lighter
Edith Howe has considerably impaired
| the coaling work. The Edith Howe is
a brand new government lighter. She
arrived Saturday from Philadelphia
with 400 tons of coal. While discharg-
ing into the Indiana during a heavy
sea last night she was dashed violently
against the battleship and had to be
| towed in, and she now lies a semi
wreck with 200 tons of coal still aboard.
1t is feared that she cannot be repair
| ed. A stupendous amount of work has
been accomplished here during the last
! thirty days in coaling and provision
| ing. This has been done by Comman-
dant Forsyth and Paymaster Mohun.
The expenditures during the month of
March due to war preparations at the
Key West naval station amounted to
/
munition. This was distributed among
the ships and does not include $4,000
worth in store nor large shipments now
en- route. The navy department had
asked for the figures and these were
sent to Washington to-day.
A large quantity of sacking has been
purchased for the battleship Iowa. This
will encase sand, and the novel feature
of protecting sand battery of small
proportions will be seen on that vessel.
The Detroit took the patrol duty to-
night. Tomorrow she will go to the
Tortugas for coal. Many families fear
ing that war is at hand, and not caring
| to trust their lives here, will leave Key
West tomorrow. Ensign Gherardi
now on the gunboat Nashville, son of
Admiral Gherardi, will leave to-mor-
row to take command of the tug Sioux,
now at New York. The Mangrove
which was lying at the dock here, re-
ceived unexpected orders to proceed to
Havana tonight and sailed immediate
ly. The usual exciting rumors regard
ing trouble in Havana ran riot after
her departure.

"War Cannot be Averted."

Washington, April 5.-The Washing
ton Post says that unless Spain within
forty eight hours yields all, by surren-
dering Cuba, war cannot be averted.
1t sums up the situation as follows:
President McKinley's message to con-
gress will be a ringing, vigorous, doc
ument that promises to meet the full
expectation of congress and the coun-
try. 1t will be a scathing arraignment
of Spain.

Aggressive Republicans viii Wait Until
Then but No Longer.
Washington, April 4.-The leaders of
the republicans of the house and senate
who have been pressing for aggressive
action on the Cuban question held sew
eral informal meetings during the af-
ternoon looking to the arrangement Of
a programme for concerted action at
both ends of the capitol in case the
president is not ready to transmit his
message to congress on Wednesday.
Senator Davis. Senator Foraker, Sena-
tor CuIom and others were seen by
the house republicans and as result
the committee appointed by the house
committee last Wednesday postponed
the meeting which was to have been
held tonight until Wednesday,
The senate committee on foreign re-
lations has agreed informally on it's
resolutions and the republicans of the
foreign affairs committee of the house
are practically united. Both will be
for armed intervention, and the blow
ing up of the Maine will be feature
of each. The house committee will call
Captain Sigsbee and other naval Off
GERS before it tomorrow and expects
to take strong grounds on the Maine
disaster. Speaker Reed, it is stated,
will not attempt to block any pro-
gramme that has the endorsement of
a majority of the republicans of the
house. and when the conference meets
on Wednesday, it is said if the preSi-
dent is not ready to report, the COM
mittee will be able to convince the
speaker beyond cavil that they are in
not only the majority, but large ma
iority.

Chicago, April About 5000 union

In our advertising columns will be
found an announcement Of Ex-senator
John j. Ingalls, forthcoming book, en-
titled "America's War For Human
ity." Canvassing agents will find in
it book of remarkable interest, and
certainly of extraordinary stability.
The history of the war is told in pic
ture and story, and in a way that al
ways characterizes the brilliant pen of
Senator Ingalls,. In narrating the IN
cidents of this war he finds grand
scope for his superb descriptive and
analytical powers. The theme is wor-
thy of the author, and the author is
worthy of the theme. It is published
by N. D. Thompson Publishing Co.,
of St. Louis, Mo. It will be a monu-
mental work that will not only be
everywhere read, but it will be a mon
ument to his genius that will outlive
in history his brilliant senatorial
career. The subscription book trade
and the canvassing agent are fortunate
in the fact that an author of such rare
ability has been enlisted in it's inter-
est.
