report to accompany the resolr,,on.
This report win deal with the situation
IN vigorous language, and Il ia under-
STOOD that much will be made in II of
'he Maine disaster. The committee
mas accepted the findings of the court
oil inquiry so far as it goes, but has
extended the inquiry and drawn con-
cluslons In advance Of those drawn by
the Maine court. The report will be in
the nature OF an address to the coun-

The published report that the Pope
has offered TO mediate between this
government and Spain with view to
a peaceful settlement Of the difficulties
is again officially denied.
This government, II Is asserted. can
not under any circumstances accept

OUTLOOK is VERY GLOOMY.
Washington. April i.-Conservative
senators today announced that the
outlook on the Cuban matter appeared
very ominous TO them. one NJ them
who has been especially optimistic and
anxious to avert war, stated that
everything possible had been done and
failed, and that the, President had de-

that he had exhausted all diplomatic
means to settle the Cuban question.
