WASHINGTON, ID. c., April 6.-(Spe-
cial. THE expected did not happen to-
day. and will not happen, it is now said,
until Monday next. An immense crowd
gathered at the Capitol, expecting the
Presidents message. 1t was not believed
Yesterday that Congress would submit to
further delay, but apart from general
disappointment, there was little In the
days events that suggested irritation or
resentment. The minority in the House
had the assurance of the President,
through Senator Daniel, that the safety
of Americans in Habana demanded fur
ther delay. The government had been so
advised by Consul-General Lee, and once
Congress was informed on the subject,
complete acquiescence was conceded.
1t is absolutely certain that the mes
sage means war, and it now seems equally
certain that the destruction of the Maine
Is TO be made the 'casus belli" Against
this issue no question Of international
law can be raised. and there is no appeal
from the Judgment and conclusions of the
United States Naval Board of Inquiry. In
the estimation of both Republicans and
Democrats. the destruction Of the Ameri-
can battleship is tantamount to an act
of war. and from the outset the question
of settlement has only been question OF
time This is the situation tonight and
nothing can change il. except the uncon-
ditional submission Of Spain to our de-
mands.

Republican congressman:
"If General Lee asks for delay, we will

cool. but he Is honest and stralghtfor-
ward. and absolutely proof against Wall

DELAY INDEPENDENT OF MADRID.
Crux OF Situation at. Habana-This
AuthoritatiyeIy Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, d. c., April 6.-The
most careful investigation in official cir
cles tonight failed to develop anything
in support Of the theory that the delay
of the Presidents message was due to
the situation at Madrid When the an
nouncement was first made to-day that
the message had been withheld, the in
ference was drawn in some congressional
circles that the delay was partially in
iluenced by the attitude of the Queen Re
gent who was reported willing TO yield
everything demanded by the United
States provided it could be done without
precipitating a popular disturbance in
Spain. Press dispatches of a pending
Cabinet crisis in Madrid tended to con-
firm this. Those closest TO the Prcsi-
dent refused 10 discuss the Madrid situa-
tion further than to say that there was
no information from that quarter, and
that no fresh negotiations had been open
cd. IL was reiterated that the cruX of
the situation was in Habana. This was
confirmed by members of the Foreign
Relations Committee, to whom the eX
planatiOn had been made in such form
that they professed themselves satisfied

WOODFORD'S FAMILY LEAVE.

The staff of the United States Legation

in Paris for the present.
Nevertheless, the latest information is
of a more reassuring character. A Cab

important nature, but the ministers main

PUBLIC STILL EXCITED.
7l5 p. M.-The official statement that
affairs have taken pacific turn has not
yet become generally known and public
opinion remains much excited. The
Bourse has declined heavily, because Of
the belief that there is dissension in the
Cabinet, which. however, the ministerial
supporters absolutely deny.

Protection of Americans Thought
Not only Motive for Delay.

WASHINGTON. April 6.-The delay in
the settlement of the Cuban question, in
voIved in the announcement made to-day
that the Presidents message would prob
ablv not be sent to Congress before next
Monday. was received in the Senate with
varying degrees of favor or disfavor' de-
nending largely upon the predictions
and nersonal and political associations of
tho members. Senators united in the ne
cessitv for protecting the safety OF Gene
raj Lee and the other American citizens

to criticise because our citizens had not
been removed heretofore, while others de-
clared that protection for them should
have been sent 10 Habana.
at is a humiliating spectacle" said
Senator Quay Of Pennsylvania, that
with our fleet within ninety miles Of Ha-
bana. we are not able to protect our peo-
pie in that port"
That request" said Senator Proctor,
merely illustrates the character Of the
people we are dealing with in this mat
ter"
The intense Cuban sympathizers on both
sides of the chamber were free in the ex-
preston Of the opinion that the motive
of the 0eldN ulu npi appear Oil lht SUI p
face. They did not question the good
faith of the President as 10 the danger Of
Americans in Cuba. but they agreed that
there must have been other causes for
the administrations course. When the
Madrid btSletin. stating the probability
of an armistice in Cuba, was made
known they found in it a verfcaton Of
their surmses.
The conservative element did not find
announcement i'm the situation. They
were not displeased at the prospect OF
delay. but they expressed regret at the
occasion for IL.
"The publishing of the fact Of danger
70 Americans in Cuba" said one of them,
"wiu set the country afiame, and the
var-spirit will be more rampant to-mor-
row than ever"
Altogether. the days proceedings had
the effect of leaving the Senate in an un-
settled condition, but it also relieved the
tension to a perceptible degree.
