Of them commented quite vigorously regarding them

Such withdrawal is one Of the last steps preced-

that the withdrawal Of the Spanish minister, follow.
Ing the recognition Of independence, would not be so
much an indication Of war, as it would be en-
phac protest by the Spanish government against the
recognition Of the independence Of colony over
which Spain aims to exercise complete sovereignty.
Although this recognition of independence is not
considered casus belli on which Spain would de-
clare war, yet It Is deemed in diplomatic circles as
q step which would have consequences inevitably
terminating in war. For that reason, 1t Is said the
recognition of the independence Of Cuba is likely to
be no less grave than intervention.
BERNABE CALM.
The Spanish minister continues to preserve his out
ward calm, although he feels that the relations arc
extremely strained, and that his stay in Washington
may not be long continued. To some Of his diplo-
matte associates who called today he said that his
conscience perfectly clear, as he thought that
Spatns was just one, and for this reason he
felt agitation. His position is trying one how
ever as the Spanish legation has been subjected to
number of petty indgnites within recent days These
of such petty character that they have not
been called to the attention Of the government Off
cias although police officers detailed to see that
the ofenses not continued and that no acts Of
vandalism or personal indignty were committed
The state department today received the full re-
port of the Spanish commission which investigated
the destruction Of the batteship Maine. This docu-
ment has been expected for some days. but 1t was
not until today that it reached Washington by g
special messenger from Havana. 1t proved to be a
most bulky and vouminous document, Of far greater
length than the report Of the American court of in
qury.
The text, delivered to the state department is
in Spanish, and it will take time for the eIab-
crate document to be translated 1t at least
$50 closely written pages Of official paper double the
size of foolscap
The Associated Press, early in the week, gave a
complete and official synopsis of this Spanish report
the essential features Of which that the expo-
sion the Maine inside of the Ship and that
no evidence existed of any exterior explosion.
ADVICE TO M'EINLEY
The White house was as usual a central noin+
in the great activity of the day. the president

| that the Maine incident be brought forward as a
casus beli, the general Cuban subject being subordi
mated to it.
Among these was Representative Marsh Of TIE;

WASHINGTON, April 2-The announcement that
the Spanish torpedo fotilla the Cape de Verde

Rico received with good deal Of satisfaction at
the navy department, which was without information

islands are more than 1000 miles from Porto Rico,
and the opinion of naval experts that the very

which they could make the across.

This was the position taken by Gen. Grosvenor, of
Ohio in his speech last Thursday. Gen. Grosvenor
says that, II war is declared he is in favor of au-
thorizing the president to call out 100000 men and
use many as necessary to make the war short,

NO. he replied to an inquiry, sit will not be
sent to congress on Monday. 1t will not go before

as the president will give to congress- and to the
country 1t will thoroughly review all Of this governs
ments diplomatic negotiations with Spain relative to
Cuba and will contain such recommendations as will
appeal to the of right and Justice Of the Amer-

friend Of President Mckinley has reason to expect
from patriotic and devoted TO his country as
he Is"
CONGRESS WILL WAIT.
"I1o you expect any action by congress on Monday,
In advance of the presidents message?" Gen. Grosvei
nor asked.
"Oh, no. he replied. "Congress will be entirely
willing await the action of the president Everybody
thoroughly realizes that the chief executive of this
country cannot be taken by the throat in matter
of this kind. He must have time to formulate his
message in his own way President Mckinley for
many weeks has been under a terrific strain and is
beginning to show the effects of t. He will COM
municate to congress and to the country as soon as
possible and there is doubt that congress will re-
spect his desires in the matter"
During the conference the Associated Press news
that the Spanish torpedo boat fotia had not yet az
rived at Porto Rico. and that tile probabilities were
that 1t was now at the Cape de Verde islands was
communicated to the president.
1t was received with much satisfaction, the presl-

WAR CLOUD LOWERING
No Improvement in the Situation Apparent
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The issue between the
United States and Spain remains unchanged No
communications having any bearing upon the situa-
tion have passed between this government and Spain
since last Thursday night, when Minister Woodford
transmitted the reply Of the Sagasta ministry to the
presidents propositions Of two weeks ago.
Both governments appear to accept the issue as
made and shaping their course accordngly
This being the case, the view is universally enter
tanned, even by representative of the admins
taton that congress upon receipt of the presidents
message early next week will take action, which it is
almost universally expected must result in sever
ance Of the diplomatic relations Of the two countries
This was in part foreshadowed by the action Of
the senate committee foreign relations today in
agreeing to Resolution favorable to the independence
Of Cuba and for armed intervention if necessary to
secure independence.
With the crisis so at hand 1t is believed that
II any European intervention or mediation is to come
1t will be within the next few days. 1t was said.
however, at the state department late this afternoon
that offer of European mediation had vet been
officially transmitted to this government
IRELAND IN WASHINGTON
It was the general understanding that friendly
oYertures Of this nature were looked for at almost
my time from France or Austria, and it was report
ed during the day that the presence In Washington
Cardinal Gibbons and Archbishop Ireland was in con-
hection with mediation from Rome but it stated
on high authority at the state department that no
oTertures of this character had taken official form
neither was the state department advised that any
such steps in contemplation
1t is the understanding In official circles based
upon information that the recognition of Cuban In.
dependence would not ii itself be regarded by Spain

Doubt that such recognition of Cuban independence

today believed there much hope of ayerting war;
and those who did based their belief solely upon
the theory that Spain, at the last minute would
yield Most Of them looked upon war certainty,
and already were discussing it's probable Duration
cost, etc.
The only thing that seems to be established def
niely regarding the presidents message to congress
on Monday or Tuesday, unless Spain backs down, is
that the president will not ask for further delay.
Whether he will make specific recommendation or
not yet undetermined. He has said within
few days to prominent leaders of his party that when
he sent the case to congress, he would share with
that body the responsibility for whatever
decided upon. On the other hand, there is ntima
ton that the president may wish congress to assume
the initiative
IF he puts all the responsibility congress-
said Republican representative 'it will sober that
body perhaps"
CONSERVATIVE PROGRAMME.
The prevailing belief is that he will make recon-
mendation. There is said to be an attempt on the
part Of certain conservative senators to prevent any
stronger action by congress than the recognition of
Cuban independence IN the hope that the negotiations
may then be feopened, and averted. But the
prevailing sentiment at this moment seems to be to
