TO HOLD SPAIN FOR THE LOSS
 OF THE MAINE
Committees of Congress Will Not Permit the DOnS to Escape
 Their Responsibility.

NEW YORK, April 1.-The Her aids Washington correspondent tele- graphs: In accordance with the pro gramme agreed upon at the conference of the Republican members of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs last night and outlined exclusively in the Herald this morning, when the com mittee met to-day the Republicans act ed as unit and adjourned The com mittee is to meet at 10 o'clock on We'd nesday morning unless called together tomorrow by MT. Adams acting chair man. MT. Adams told the Democrats that the Presidents message most cer- tainly would be in on Wednesday. and perhaps tomorrow. He declined to give the Democrats definite information as to the character of the message.
 The Democratic members appreciat- ed the fact that time was required to prepare the message and promised to counsel patience on their side of the House. This promise was afterward fulfilled by Representative Williams of Mississippi, who, when MT. Bailey was endeavoring to make trouble for the Republicans in the House, said that dis closures had been made in the commit tee which sealed the lips of the Repub- licans and Democrats alike.
 A general understanding is being ar rived at as to the outlines of the action which shall be taken when the commit tee acts on Wednesday, The destruc- ton of the Maine will be in no way subordinated to the general situation in Cuba. On the contrary, 1t is the pres ent disposition of the majority of the committee to make the destruction of the Maine and the slaughter of her of fcers and men the prominent grounds | for action, and to subordinate to some extent at least the Cuban situation
 Some of the members of the com mittee would go so far as to leave out altogether any recognition of the independence of Cuba, and take action looking to the expulsion of Spain from Cuba and Porto Rico and the lowering of the Spanish flag for all time upon the western heInlSpnere The present indications are that the Senate and House Committee will act along the same lines. There have been conferences between the leading mem bers of the committees and 1t IS quite probable the resolution which will be reported to the Senate and House will be identical in language.
 The resolution proposed by Senator Foraker will probably be made the basis of action so far as it relates to

Spain to Be Held for the Maine's Destruction and Pope LeO's Mediation Finds Little

NEW YORK, April "A Washington special to the Herald says Senators Elkins, Hanna, Spooner Fairbanks Patt of New York and Hoar of Massachusetts, who unquestionably familiar with the views of the President to-day assured their colleagues and others with whom they discussed the subject that the President has finally decided that the time has for acton and unless unlookedfo change in the situation before Wednesday morning he will send ringing Congress and the country which will merit the approval of every lover of Old Glory

TO TAKE AMERICANS
 FROM CUBA'S CAPITAL.

HAVANA, April 4.-The Mangrove and the Bache are expected here to- morrow to take to Key West such Americans as desire to go. Consul General Lee has been authorized to hire merchant vessels, if necessary, and will probably employ the steamer Florida, of the coast line, due here tomorrow: the Mascotte, which is due here Wednes- day; and the Olivette. which is due for an extra trip on Thursday. The Fern will remain here so far as is known.

MADRID, April 4.-The Liberal (Republican) referring to the Pope's intervention between Spain and Cuba says that it wants the assurance that the Pope's mediation is not pretext for the United States to ob- tain delay of some months, with the view of recommending later the struggle against Spain within and without Cuba"
 The Liberal further remarks that it does not lose sight of the fact that the Pope's mediation tacitly admits the American right to interfere in Spanish affairs in the interest of peace; and expresses the belief that the Government will be obliged to de- clare that mediation does not mean

the recognition of Cuba and interven- tion. The resolution finally reported, however, will, as stated above, bring the Maine affair to the front in the strongest light.
 The report of the Court of Inquiry showing, as it does, beyond doubt that the Maine, after having been moored by the Spanish Harbor Mas ter at buoy where no ship had been placed for long time, was blown up by a submarine mine, has convinced the members of the committee that Spain's responsibility for this act was so direct as to make it virtually a hostile act, and one with which there seems to be no way of dealing except by war.
 No monetary indemnity would satisfy Congress for the loss of the Maine. and the members believe the only way sat isfaction can be obtained for this affair is by compelling the withdrawal of Spain from the western hemisphere < The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations resumed its sittings to-day,

| NEW YORK, April 1.-The Her aids Washington correspondent tele- graphs: President Mckinley has com clusively stated in the Herald on last Sunday, 1t will be sent to Congress at noon on Wednesday.
 It will be vigorous arraignment of Spain.
 By Byimplicationit it will show that the time has come when it is the duty of the United States to intervene and end the war in Cuba.
 It will leave Congress untrammeled in the character of the action that should be taken.
 It will be message that may not please the extremists, nor will 1t meet the views of the peace at any price people That it is strong and vigorous is perhaps best indicated by the fact that two members of the Cabinet, who are favorable to peace, object to some of the sentiments which have been incor- porated in 1t by the chief executive. The message IS very long. It con- tains recital of the events which have | made Cuba desert, speaks of the ter rible condition of the reconcentrados, of the destruction done property, and de clares that Spain is unable to suppress the insurgents
 The facts which the President will set forth will impress Congress, ad- ministration officials believe, with the necessity of action. Besides describing the present condi- tions existing in Cuba and reciting the facts leading up to this condition. the President will refer to the negotiations which have been conducted in the past with Spain, and will show that the Mad rid Government has given the United States the right to interfere in matters concerning Cuba He will give a state ment of the demands he has made upon Spain looking to the ending of the war and the reply which he received from the Sagasta Ministry.
 To the Maine incident the Presi- dent will devote the feeling feature of his document.
 l He will speak of the finding of the American Court of Inquiry, reiterate his action in forwarding the report to Spain and state the answer made there

to, but the only comment which he will make in connection with this matter will be that 1t IS horrible to think that man-ofwar, on peaceful mission to a port of a friendly nation, should be de- stroyed by a submarine mine, of such enormous power as that which blew up the Maine
 He will point out this horrible in cident as one of the most important links in the chain of evidence which establishes Spain's inability either to protect the vessels of friendly pow CTS at anchor in her harbors or to control the internal affairs of the is- land of Cuba.
 To Congress will be left the responsi- bility of action. The President will not urge the recognition of the independ- ence of Cuba, nor will he formally re- commend intervention. But the facts which he gives and which are given in all their awful coloring are so presented

g NEW YORK, April 4.-The 8 Herald's Washington correspon- g dent sends the following: Tn an- 8 ticipation of the Presidents mes g sage making diplomatic relations 8 with Spain no longer possible, all g arrangements, as previously 8 stated to the Herald, have been 8 made for the withdrawal of our 8 representatives in Spain and 8 Cuba Our interests will be g turned over to the British rep g resentatives.
 3 The formal withdrawal of Min 8 ister Woodford will probably 8 come simultaneously with the 3 transmission of the Presidents g message.
